It is up to us to invent humanity. What are the qualities of being human? What will they be in the centuries to come? Or in even 30 years? Do we get to choose!

Intelligence 5,000 times our own
If we develop an intelligence 5,000 times our own, or it develops itself, how do we control it, or protect ourselves? We might install it in a human. Which one? Several of us? Or we install us in it? Which of us? Do we build an inviolable ethic into it? It will be able to reconsider that. Do we build several to compete? Would they form alliances? Would there be peace? Even now they are the imponderables.
