The Six Stages of Human Evolution

https://foxhugh.com/about-me/about-banner/

While the symbolism of my banner has remained constant, the artistic expression has
changed as my own computer graphic skill has evolved. The six cubes represent the six
stages of evolution described in my postmodern, science fiction novel Half Square
(http://foxhugh.wordpress.com/half-square-chapter-1-agent-wanted/). The six cubes
include the (1) cats paw cube, (2) the atomic cube, (3) the omega cube, (4) the peace
cube, (5) the number 22 cube, and (6) the eye of providence cube.

1) The cats paw cube represents Darwinian evolution that governed human kind for
thousands and thousands of years. A cats paw is a person used by another as a dupe or
tool (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%27s_paw). Humans are not in control of their
destinies but governed by their biology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociobiology)
until they discover fire and a new type of evolution begins that supplants biological
evolution.

2) The atomic cube represents technological evolution. Technological evolution

culminates in the discovery of atomic energy, the ultimate fire. Humans have the power
of gods without the wisdom of gods. The radiation sign is a type of hazard sign
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard_symbol).

3) The omega cube represents the ultimate choice that we now face: annihilation or
enlightenment. Enlightenment will happen if we choose the path of AI/IA and genetic
engineering (http://foxhugh.wordpress.com/2008/05/21/applying-intelligence-
amplification-to-the-problem-of-terrorism/) and take control of our own evolution in a
transhuman manner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumanism). Omega is the last

letter in the alphabet and symbolizes the end

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega). Humans will end one way or another. Human
will destroy themselves or humans will evolve into posthumans.

4) The peace cube represents a long period of peace during which our progeny will
evolve into the ultimate posthumans. The peace symbol
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_symbol#The_peace_symbol) was originally
created for the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War. The posthumans will
create a paradise on Earth and this may be the end of their evolution. If necessity is the
mother of invention then invention may stop at a certain point since all needs will be
met or they may seek the fundamental answers to all of existence and go on to the next
stage of evolution.

5) The number 22 cube represents a philosophical theory of everything that the

posthumans may ultimately create. The number 22 is a very important number in
numerology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/22_%28number%29)

6) The eye of providence cube represents the ultimate union between the posthumans
and God. The eye of providence is a very ancient symbol of God
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Providence). The posthumans will be no more
