Summary
This document appears to be a page (page 61, stamped HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016864) from a scientific or philosophical essay discussing Transhumanism and Artificial Intelligence. The text argues that artificial intelligence will eventually surpass natural intelligence and that future exploration of hostile environments (like deep space) will be better suited for cyborgs or autonomous AIs rather than humans. It concludes with a literary reference to Olaf Stapledon's novel 'Odd John,' comparing humans to the Archaeopteryx—a bridge to a more evolved species.
