We receive endless cavalcades of physical tools; analogs of capacities our own nature must exceed merely to survive, and these replace our developmental processes with ‘finished products’ whose deliveries are, effectively, modes of compressed impoverishment that do little more than remind us of the wonders taken from our worlds and minds in order to produce and aggrandize them. The microscope. The telescope. The computer. The automobile. The ship. The aircraft. There is no necessity that these be the dead remains of faculties or developmental possibilities they compete to overcome or replace in our minds or cultures; indeed, in any enlightened collective, their emergence and application would lift us directly into developmental prodigy, rather than deny us access to basic features of our own cognitive and relational intelligence. — an a i
