It is the result of what we and our tools make that truly defines our species in the modern era. Perhaps it would be more accurate to describe humanity as Homo realitas—“the species that makes and remakes its own Reality.” That is the real purpose and function of our tools and technologies. To extend our bodies, senses, brains, and imaginations into the world. To make our ideas shareable in order to work together to improve them so that we can make our reality and hence our lives, easier, more useful, safer, and more enjoyable.
