Man and Machine Won’t “Merge” (And You Should Be Glad)

Many think that the Man will someday merge with the Machines. You better hope not.  My latest article is up on Medium.

Nowhere in nature is there an example of a mouse, say, that somehow merged with a monkey in order to more easily open nuts to obtain its food… or a bird that merged with, say, a rabbit in order to take refuge underground. Evolution just doesn’t work that way. A mouse may evolve more dexterous fingers, or a bird may evolve claws and a beak that are better suited to digging. But improved hybrids of different species just don’t happen: A mouse remains a mouse, and a bird remains a bird.
