If man does not transform inwardly, though a mutation in his psyche, he will soon join the list of those unfortunate creatures that lives a million years or so on this planet and then became extinct for they could not adapt themselves.

Okay, this is how we are going to evolve.
We already know how.
Think about it.
What is our idea of perfection ?
Usually when when think of our bad habits and bad behavior and miscues and mistakes, we think of the following as an improvement:
1. No more forgetting things.
We will fashion ourselves after robots, with nano technology we will rewire and redesign the brain so that we will no longer forget. We will have perfect memories. And we'll figure out how to store all that data, even if part of our offline brains are in a chip we can replace in some receptacle slot on our persons. I'm thinking of some natural orifice. LOL !
2. No more atrophy of muscle and bone.
We will fashion ourselves after robots. Somehow, we're going to get rid of that problem, even it means getting rid of our physical manifestation. No more aches and pains. By the way, the Buddhists know all about this issue. They say our brains drag our bodies around. The brain cares about itself, not the body.
3. No more emotional trauma and wasted behavior.
We will fashion ourselves after robots. Why must we unnecessarily go through all sorts of waisted emotions and pain that cause such obstacles in our quest for solutions ? Why not circumvent this waste of time ? Why cause such pain for others ? Why not understand the healthy approaches ?
4. No more wondering where people are.
We're already beginning to rectify that problem. Our bosses want to know where we are, even if it means tracking us to the 3rd stall in the bathroom. Our parents want to know where we are. We want to know where our children are. In fact, we the people, want to destroy privacy more than Big Brother. George Orwell predicted the utter loss of privacy, but he totally screwed up predicting who was going to cause this.
Epilogue
Enough for now. I could go on about how we are going to correct all our imperfections and how people will deny we want to be like robots, but when you look at each issue, you begin to realize that we are going to be little Gods creating a whole new race --- a race that will dimly remember who we were, a race that will not understand why we behaved that way.
Of course it will be Ground Hog Day for us. You know the movie. Its plot allows for the main character to get a mulligan, a "re-do" for the same day. Of course the irony is that when he avoids one problem, he creates a new one. An analogy for evolution, isn't it ?
And then a final thought, the tao requires opposites and contrasts for us to know anything. If there is no love, then you won't know what apathy is. No valley without a mountain.
