Abstract
A dialogue between Sarouk and Mensa, about the inherent limitations imposed by anatomically embedded AI. Homo sapiens were different from their earlier Homo erectus relatives. In a way, Homo futuro are quite different from Homo sapiens. The latter were the first species to free themselves from mental constraints that had prevented the species from having abstract thoughts. Mensa point out that posthumans can now think super-abstractly, but, incapable of thinking their personal raw thoughts, to go off the rails, as she says. Artistry in the posthuman world only simulates what was once human artistic expression.
