Us in the Future

Yesterday before veering away from the conscious realm, I thought of the advanced alien races in Stargate universe. I realized that they represent the different possible progenies of our species in the future. I thought that we would be like them if we would maintain certain attitude, mind-set or cultural disposition (in one way or another). Considering them not as aliens but us in the future, you will be surprised to notice that we might be like them in the future. Actually, this is not really surprising because our literary or artistic projection of alien species is still too human (like their physique and mentality).
Anyway, here are the reasons why I think of them as us in the future:

1. The Asgards – Very human for me. A thousand years of perfecting cloning, plus a thousand years of mastering consciousness-transfer, and a thousand years of mastering space-time, minus our interest of sexual reproduction (initiated by embracing of same-sex marriage, catalyzed by free society), multiplied by hundred times of utilizing the cloning and consciousness-transfer process, is equal to Asgard-like descendants of our species. If a dose of heightened pessimism injected to their society then our descendants is definitely like the suicidal geeks (the Asgards).

2. The Ancients – If we continue our religious frills, still embedded in our culture, like for a thousand years and we still worship and afraid of spirits and stuff like that, then I guess we cannot escape the line treading the Ancients track. After ten thousands of years, we are capable of ascension (of course with the help of technology) and we will abandon our visible and tangible realm. We will be contented living in the higher dimension a strict non-interference policy with the less advanced civilizations.

3. The Nox – This is the kind of progeny that would fit the nonviolent environmentalist group of recent Homo sapiens sapiens. They will live in invisible floating cities and would not harm any single organism even that organism will threaten their existence. Don’t worry no one will dare to threaten them because they will too hard to find. Take note, this progeny of our species has zero death rate because they know how to give life to their deads.

4. The Furlings – If we become so advance and so tired of intergalactic publicity I guess this line is the right line for us. This is the perfect progeny of our species when we all become hermits and retired celebrities. No one in the galaxy will see us in person but they know that we exist.


5. The Wraiths – The intervention of mad geneticists will really lead our descendants to this line. Hammering one part of our genes here, another part there, wielding some genes here and some there, infusing some codes here and some codes there, then I guess our descendants will be happy feeding on the life force of the insects (much greater than us, just to assure stable food supply chain).

6. The Replicators and Asurans. Our dependence on computers is undeniably increasing. Moore’s law can explain the way we expand out extrasomatic computing abilities. If we maintain this trend, then several thousand years from now our species will create toys like us. And we will become not contented so, we will find ways to transfer our consciousness to these toys, making as perfect Replicators or Asurans.

7. The Goa’uld or Tok’ra – Our quest for panacea will send us to the other planets and discover a symbiote that will cure all of our biological vulnerabilities. By assimilating this symbiote in our system will surely put our descendants in the existence like those of Goa’uld or Tok’ra. It depends. If they will be voracious eaters of power then they will definitely be Goa’uld. If they are willing to co-exist in symbiotic relationship then they will be like the Tok’ra.

8. The Aschens – The earth becomes horridly dry and not got for all of our vegetations, and then the food supply of our descendants becomes scarce. We need to travel to some planet, befriend them and slowly sterilizing their population and take over their planet where we can grow and harvest food. This is the selfish us in the future.


I am seeing these aliens as our eventualities in the future. They are just us in different timeframe.
