INTENSE

what are your thoughts about a society after humans go extinct? like dinosaurs->humans->?? i'm leaning toward artificial intelligence, but that sounds to much like "The Matrix"
thoughts?
p.s. i found an interesting memory method, but didn't want to post a second thread about it. This morning i had the post human society idea, so to remember it i pictured a small room in my head, and wrote two sticky notes, placing them on a bulletin board. one said to post about the post-human society, and the other about the room. i couldn't remember what i planned on posting about so i went back into my mental room and there it was. just interested me i guess

I doubt anything as intelligent as humans will evolve on earth again. Some things may come close, but I think we'll still be the champions of this planet until it is swallowed up when the sun goes nova.

Cockroaches! They'll become even smarter than we are now, but they'll never be quite as good looking ;)

Hey!
I've seen a hot lookin' cockroach once.
...
Let's just say, I'm never going back to that sewer again.

Weird dude. I was reading about this earlier today:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity
You might get a kick out of reading this:
http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/singularity
You will find lots of articles contained within this article:
http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/jun08/6311/2
^ I'll admit that's it a long read and the links are in the names of the Authors. They are very interesting though.

I think that anything could happen, but I have a distinct feeling that the next ominating race will be something greater than humans, greater than mammals infact. I have a feeling that it will be a race of half mammal half reptillian creatures with individual minds but hive instinct. These creatures will eventually find the remains of the human society and may treat humanity as a God Race. They will then find the works of Star Trek, and J.R.R Tolkien and believe them as true to life events, learning this will cause a religeous fire that will detroy this new dominating species in half the time of the human race. Which will then spawn a race of pure creatures of mind, beyond all reality, they will be able to freely move through time and will be seen by humans as Faeries and Demons who have only the thought of fun.
This all being said, What is Beyond this race?

i'm skeptical of the singularity.
if such a thing existed, then wouldnt we have already designed machines more intelligent then ourselves. we have designed better problem solvers, but they have a limit. i dont think that something can design something truly better then itself (in our case, a dynamic problem solving machine which reacts and can creatively process unidentified information)

In my opinon i doubt we will die out as humans have two importatnt qualities, independant intelligence and selfishness, we might (through war) decrease our population, but we will survive.
even is we destroy the earth, we getting to the stage where will be colonising Mars.
didnt NASA recently start building the ship thats going to mars?

That's a good point... I think that we will see a dwindling in kind people in the years to come. I have a feeling we're sailing away on a red dawn.

redefine, I do not think the logic you are using is very applicable to anything.
Just because we haven't done something yet doesn't mean it will never happen. Take note of any invention.
As to whether something can create something better than itself; That is up to question. The proponents of such a thing would point to evolution.

Our current problem is our pathetic amount of knowledge of the human brain.
Once that nut is cracked, it will be easy to implement.
Every possible algorithm that can ever be created can be described and created with our current tools available.
Edit: Oh, Hallowed be the Hot Dog!
Almost committed blashphemy.
