Has humanity reached its peak?

Do you think we have already reached the highest point in our entire existence, or do you think we haven't even scratched the surface yet?

I think we have reached the point where machines can take the place of worker bees while the top dogs keep moving on up and the rest die off. At least a 75% population reduction. Still need people to design things, but machines can build the machines that build more machines.

Extremely vague question. What do you mean by the 'highest' point? Most technology, peace on earth, medical science, education, etc?

We are starting to reach a plateau. But we have only yet begun. Soon are ancestors will return and once again inject us with the knowledge of the ancients.
The time is soon!
It has been a long time since our structure of DNA has been altered.
Give it a moment, the time is nigh.

That's easy.
Anunnakian, i really hope SOMETHING crazy happens in my lifetime. Anyone else believe that this is THE time in history to be alive? I always have this feeling that something great and significant is just waiting to happen.

Yeah, I have that feeling too. Maybe that's just temporal hubris though...

Any time period probably felt that way due to the bias of being alive at that period. But it makes sense for this time to be fairly special. Technology is making strides while dated cultural values and lack of insight hold many people back from progressive development. But the changes that happen now, happen much more rapidly than they did in the past. So great shifts are certainly possible.

if you wish for it to happen it probably will
the mind creates reality
i dont think we've reached a peak. i think we are actually going to start cleaning up our earth soon. at the same time i think our government will release some technology. this may take 15-20 years but its going to be great

I feel or at least have high hopes that this is another era of time to be alive.
Sometimes I read some shit that I already beleive in a bit or have other thoughts and when it's mentioned I get crazy goose bumps.
It could be just all the psy's I did as a kid or the fact I grew up around all these weird beliefs but... I really think something is about to crest the peak.
Maybe it is just my form of religion and I think the time is soon. If I never see it... I will die thinking it is soon. No worries on my side.

This I can agree with. There is certainly a tide or crossing of culture and technology that has to find it's place for balance. I feel we are on the cusp of enlightenment or destruction.
Someone need to help us, and I have a feeling those people/being have been here before.

I think as technology gets smarter, humans get dumber. People used to sit around and talk about ideas. They used to read books, you rated a person based on what they had to say. Today much of humanity spends all day on the internet watching funny videos, porn, playing video and looking at funny images. Music used to be thought provoking and intelligent. Today the masses are entertained by Jersey Shore. Technology has the potential to expand the minds of the human race, but for the most part, is being misused to turn people into mindless folk who are easily entertained by media with no thought or substance.
Humanity is past its peak.
Technology is just getting started.
