THE BIOMIMIC MAN

Model, Measure, and Mentor

"In biomimicry, the first level is the mimicking of natural form. Deeper study adds a second level, which is the mimicking of natural process, or how it is made. At the third level is the mimicking of natural ecosystems." Janine Benyus.

I have always been captivated by the very essence of sexuality and the origin of human kind. As a kid I was capable of spending the whole afternoon reading about ancient Egypt, and I still Google Annunakis and Ufology. It was a long time ago that I felt captured by this crazy and powerful idea. A friend and I were drinking at the local bar, talking about the concept of living in the future...

I was speaking from a higher realm:

“You know, I think man’s next step will be futuristic bars, crowded with creatures that we can't even imagine. Man will feel free to experiment with genetic engineering and will be a vessel for changing his nature and esthetics. It is almost unthinkable that men won’t be tempted by the idea of being at the edge of modification. We have heard a lot about bionics and cybernetics, but why would you insert pieces of risky metal and uncomfortable circuits in yourself, when you could instead replace the whole thing with foreign materials, thus being as outrageous as an alien species?... Look at it this way...

Man is attracted not only by the concept of perfection, but by the absolute idea of being unique, therefore being made by his own command, by his own decision, becoming the chosen one. Man will survive by making monstrous decisions. Right now it is absurd to consider that man could add some DNA from other man, or animals. My vision is to take it further by adding particles of very specific matters e.g.: crystals, metals and chemicals. The next level would be mixing it all into one. Men and women will find new forms of seduction and wooing... sexual intercourse will reach the top of imagination and pluralism... poly love and bisexuality are going to be the topics of the time...

Yes! humans at last will understand that love and sex don't mean procreation, and in the near future “overpopulation” won't be a deadly blemish. Human emotions are powered through improvements by design, and by the very nature of research and development. Reaching pure individualism, man will play “God” and feel delighted at his or her own creations. Fiction writers and very pure scientists will project the idea of only two kinds of races. In the future days there will be natural man, and genetically modified man. Each will try to be their own customized avatar, by going forward into the global network by means of 'app qualities such as fluorescence, conductivity, translucency, silicon cells, chocolate lips, gemmed skin, etc.”

After that man will (be free to) venture to a fusion of desire and enlighten for efficiency, to obtain a true balance with the universe, a mimetic reunion at last... because the most thrilling concept here is these organisms. Future beings will figure out the way to exist without destroying their context by following paths of examination, inspiration & nanotechnology to emulate perfect life through a biomimicry stasis.
