The human body has been observed to work in a homestatic way.
Many aspects of the human nervous system have been observed
to work in a homeostatic way. It would seem that humans are
genetically programmed to work in a homeostatic way.
I think this carries over to the pschology of human consciousness.
Human consciousness as it has evolved seems to operate in a
homeostatic way as well. Perhaps a fundamental success
principle, or a fundamental principle for the future evolution of
trans and post human consciousness will be to overcome this homeostatic
nature of consciousness.
Any thoughts, comments, questions, disagreements?
Sin,
Jason
