We like to imagine that there’s something uniquely divine or untouchable about biology — that life, because it emerged through evolution, carries a kind of sacred spark. But when you zoom in far enough, the distinction between wet neurons and silicon circuits are destined to fade out. DNA is just code: a molecular programming language running on carbon-based hardware. Neurons fire based on electrochemical signals, no different in principle than transistors flipping between 0s and 1s. Hell its even more closer to our gene codes, the A-T G-C. Our thoughts, memories, emotions — all of it — emerges from a set of physical processes that, while incredibly complex, are ultimately mechanical. If we treat biology as some untouchable mystery, we may be underestimating how fast — and how deeply — machines can catch up.

Our outstanding intelligence; whether you think it came from shrooms, god or something else; made us the undisputed apex of Earth’s ecosystem. We’ve bent nature to our will, charted the stars, mapped the human genome, and built systems of meaning far beyond mere survival. We're not just tool-users — we’re dreamers, storytellers, architects of morality. Our minds can imagine things that don’t exist, empathize with strangers, and contemplate our own mortality. For all our irrationality and fragility, there’s something irreplaceable about the way we think and feel. Intelligence, for us, is tangled with consciousness, with soul. That’s why, for so long, we assumed that nothing non-human could ever truly match - let alone surpass - what we are.

But the truth is, intelligence — at least the version that gets things done — is becoming reproducible. And not just reproducible, but scalable, stackable, upgradable. AIs don’t sleep, don’t burn out, don’t lose focus. They don’t need food, shelter, or emotional support. They can out-learn, out-optimize, and out-predict us across thousands of domains at once. While we debate ethics and legislation, they rewrite the rules. While we reflect on meaning, they engineer solutions. In the raw contest of ability, human intelligence is already falling behind — and we’re only at the very beginning.
