We can have faith in the posthuman future because, if we examine what we know today and keep an open mind, we can perceive a movement in the universe toward higher levels of complexity and consciousness that is as convincing as experiencing the power of love or the beauty of the natural world. Once we glimpse that possible future, even without knowing its unknowable details, we will want to open ourselves to it in whatever ways we can. Having contemplated its import, we will feel compelled to act in ways that maximize our ability to navigate and influence this new reality.
