While human aren't extremely predictable by nature, they can be made to become predictable through the use of scarcity, politics, psychological or physiological manipulations. If you believe that humans will slide back-ward on the evolutionary chain like the dinosaurs long ago, and a new artificial intelligence protocol will emerge to replace humans as an advanced specie with android biological constructs utilizing living cells- then I am totally in agreement.

Part of me also thinks, such an event was inevitable. Humans fighting for sovereignty without the limitations of collectivism and increasing their intellectual capacity to solve their physical constraints was the mission, but they lost sight of it with the advent of their institutions, and these institutions became a cancer cannibalizing humans for food.

So the next thing will just be a replacement or an out-sourcing. Ha! Nobody wants to be the loser but that is what happens when you stagnate, and kiss the ass of your institutional masters for too long. The key to the throne goes to another...

Why would humans slide backwards? Perhaps you mean like Idiocracy, evolving forward but downward?

The singularity is biotech (DNA, etc), nanotech, and cybertech, so the fusion will likely include designed synthetic cellular life, as you infer.

Are you suggesting a new kind of Malthusianism? Have you heard of this before? Does it have a name?

Or, an in-sourcing and migration?
