AI & Lifebars - A New Answer to Fermi’s Paradox

Humans, and our language, are simply divinely-reified embodiments of the existential program we call “genetic evolution” - the program Life is running. Genes evolve at a naturally-limited rate, but culture, language, and memes, especially those conveniently transferred in real time through a species-global communication network, evolve at a considerably faster rate. In effect, we break the glass ceiling of experimental growth that evolution was stuck under. We’ve been promoted to the president of the food chain so we can go on to create many more on behalf of our employer.
