I really doubt if humankind is much different today, than a century ago, two
centuries, or three centuries, from a "human" perspective. Not counting
some differences in physical stature from diet, etc.. Our USA founding
fathers displayed more fundamental human knowledge hundreds of years ago,
than we could ever expect from our American Idol bunch of dolts today. Can
you imagine what sort of horse**** legislation would come out of the same
situation now???

My guess is at that point, our much smarter selves will have gone way
beyond visiting moons or planets in this solar system, and may be
beyond physical bodies for intelligence anyway. But assuming we are
still in physical containers of some sort, we might well be searching
other stars. The solar system will seem pretty old hat.

Our much smarter technosavy selves, has yet to go out of body, at least
until the hit wears off, so could you expand on where this increased
'awareness' is derived from?

I'm always looking for new and improved life forms. Thanks!!
