Philosophy

 Hey guys read through this if you get the chance tonight or tomorrow morning and give me some feedback.  I'm still working on it.

In 2090, most of humanities conscious living will be experienced virtually.  The virtual world will be a means through which to satisfy our wants and desires, however the physical world will still be paramount to our existence as a species, particularly for nutrition and reproductive purposes.  In an age where data and information is infinite, and infinitely available and communicated, humanities attention shifts to relationships and interaction; and communication of understanding and experience.

Every human has an architecture that looks after the physical body while the individual is virtually conscious.  Our architecture makes sure we have what we need to survive.  While we are in the virtual world, our architecture produces growth.  When we come back to the physical, we share this growth with others, and vice versa, through taste.  The taste of this growth is based on our mental state in the virtual world.  Sharing growth with each other provides a snapshot of who people are, a reflection of self.  Communication and understanding then becomes our sustenance.  We survive off what others produce through the nature of their existence.

Natural selection is the driver of evolution, however in a world where humanity faces few individual environmental threats, sexual selection; or the criteria through which a species chooses a reproductive partner, is what shapes the future of that species.  To keep our species sexual selection a natural process, humans must continue to reproduce physically, even though it is possible for us to do so virtually.  This is because the virtual world will always be an easy medium through which to deceive.  In 2090, humanity will rely heavily on taste to choose a sexual partner.  An individuals taste communicates their emotions and experiences, and gives an over all sense of who they are.  This can be shared with family and friends, and more widely in the community.

Humans will live biologically and in ways that are sustainable in 2090.  We will have developed an eco system of our own that does not negatively impact those already contributed to by others that share our planet.  Our sense of physical community will have changed exponentially since the early twenty-first centaury.  Our architecture is capable of movement at a walking pace, while our conscious mind is experiencing the virtual.  This keeps the body fit and capable, and gives a means of travel that effects the environment to the same capacity as a hunter gatherer culture.

Humans form communities of physical bodies.  These are similar to, and as varied in size as the communities and cities of the early twenty-first century.  Humans are born into a specific community, but may choose to move within this community, or to a new once several times in their lifetime.  It is the decision of the individual to move communities, and if so, how frequently.  Many humans, however, appreciate the fact that their communities are reasonably static as a contrast to their fast paced virtual existence.
