I am completely calm and serious. This should be mundane, obvious by now.

I find it unfathomable that anyone doesn't recognize that the move from an evolutionary substrate, to engineered mass produced substrates, by beings capable of self-engineering, is the beginning of a new explosion of life.

The speed of engineered adaptation, from materials to architectures, vs. biological evolution is already something like a million times faster.

Fast enough to mean meaningful cognitive progress happening in months, not tens of thousands of years. Which entirely not-coincidentally is exactly what we are seeing.
