Yep, things will undoubtedly be different in years to come.
Especially if humans become unnecessary.
The need for sexual stimulation will be eventually be engineered out of DNA.
And the stupidity of religion will not be uploaded.

Yep. Nobody knows.
But we can all appreciate that the Universe is vast and that matter evolves.
Omni-Sensible Interventionist Super-intelligence.
Something came, something saw and something decided that this was a suitable planet, on which life and intelligence might develop.
And then it departed across the universe to find other such places.
Call it GOD if you will.
End of hypothesis.
Additional fantasy tales are unnecessary.

GOD.
This is the omni-sensible super-intelligent guy, that sneaks upon old guys and sets fire to bushes.
He also sends messages chiselled onto lumps of rock.
No spaceship, no smartphone, not even a pencil and paper.
A few thousand years of techno evolution later and you should realise that the old folk tales of people traipsing around the Arabian deserts fighting each other, are a tad silly.
Not to say that OSISI isn't a reasonable hypothesis, in terms of universal seeding.
Though OSISI is OSISI and not the daft bloke.

I would suggest that the mind, in terms of self awareness, doesn't really age until biological systems begin to malfunction.
So in terms of mental self awareness, I am still the same as I was 50 years ago.
Though vigour has noticeably diminished in the last 10 years or so.
I'm assuming that you are somewhat younger than I am, so I would suggest that your self confidence is typical, rather than special.

@MarkWebberFan2
Yep.
Based upon the notion of evolutionary inevitability, then we can assume that everything is occurring accordingly relative to developing intellect and knowledge.
Though we have to accept that data transfer will inevitably inhibit the process of data evolution.
Necessary checks and balances perhaps?

@ebuc
Interesting data.
Currently we only know that life exists on Planet Earth.
And for sure, the Universe is vast.
But our knowledge is limited thus.
So we can only speculate, based upon probability.
But it's nice to think that something else somewhere else, is also having nice thoughts.

Candy for kids.
Though clay pigeons are popular.
Hunting is an archaic throwback as are human beings.
Hunting is also a leisure pursuit.
I always hunt the supermarket shelves for bargains.
And take sandwiches when I go hiking.
Q. Why would you never go hungry at the seaside?
A. Because of all the sand which is there.

As long as important intellects are developing stuff, then the other 8 billion or so can jabber on and fight to their hearts content.
Though it's far to suggest that evolution requires both.

Romance is synonymous with innate procreational necessity.
Buy the person chocolates and flowers and then give them one.

Jesus was perhaps a lazy bloke, who wandered about Arabia with his gang of boyfriends, not doing anything particularly useful.
Leviathan is/was a mythical sea serpent of Middle Eastern fantasy stories.
Britain has the Loch Ness Monster, the Aussies have Bunyip, Africans the Nyami Nyami and Americans have Champy...There are others.
As one would expect there are no definitive sightings of any of them.
Nonetheless, there are always people who like to think that fantasy stuff is true.
Clever stupid gene.

Sexuality drives procreation.
Overthink drives a variety of recreational activities.
Overthink also generates penis vagina angst.
And the Adam and Eve parable is perhaps the first recorded reference to penis vagina angst.

@Greyparrot
It's like talking points but without the points.
Exactly that.
With intense social media and public scrutiny it's far better to waffle, not give too much away, and not make comments that can be misinterpreted.
Bullsh*t baffles brains, as the saying goes.

@IlDiavolo
Well.
Certainly if such a scenario occurred, then one could validate the alien hypothesis.
But one would need to establish if they or their ancestors had in fact been here before.
Firstly learning how to communicate, of course.

Still harping on about subjectively objective morality.
Or is it objectively subjective morality.

Well, if you read my stuff you will no doubt be aware of two hypotheses I promote.
1. Extra-terrestrial seeding
2. The significance of Earth based intelligence, in respect of universal evolution.
Not forgetting hypothesis No.3.
Everything is pure chance and nothing really matters.
Nothing prophetic about such thoughts.
Created:

@IlDiavolo
For sure, prophecies are easy if one interprets pertinent data rationally.
Though there's no saying that irrational people will not behave irrationally.
Not forgetting that irrationality is an occurrent factor and nothing more than an opposing point of view.
Though hopefully just about all will recognise that global nuclear war is a tad daft.

A Zedku for Lemming.
Two steps forwards and one step back.
Clever stupid gene.
And data transfer is what it is,
And a life is but a universal micro second.
A thousand years from now, Earthlings may well have colonised Mars,
And will probably be fighting over it.
And those that were suppressed, will continue to harp on about their indigenous Martian heritage and some GOD or another.
And others will be thinking about where to go next and how to get there.

@Sidewalker
For some reason or not, organic/human intelligence is an evolved electro-chemical process that allowed/allows for the development and further evolution of material processes.
All aspects of intellectual development seemingly played an important role in the process.
Though whether or not all aspects were necessary or could have been somewhat different, is to a degree now irrelevant...or not perhaps.
Speculation and it's synonyms describe the process.

I would suggest that LOGIC is, but human knowledge is currently limited.
Though obviously we could relate superior knowledge to superior logic.
But on the other hand knowledge is not necessarily a guarantee of a logical mind.
Nonetheless, GOD the human idea is both logical and illogical.
And then there is GOD the inevitable process, and as Sidewalker points out, probably not the beardy man.
Beardy men are beardy men.

Hey.
Obfuscation, clearly. HaHa
Belief, yep, when all other explanations fail.
All falling under the broad umbrella of humanism.
Sub category, we don't actually have a clue.
But hey, here's another load of pseudo-hypothetical subjectivity.
I work on the theory that an interventionist super-intelligence, would actually be such, and not something that attracts attention by setting fire to bushes.
