"Ads are the cave art of the 20th Century"
-Marshall McLuhan
Will recorded history provide insight into the illusion of today?
Post-electric civilization will have access to the unfolding process of social-biological evolution through the internet and its recorded history. How strange, familiar, and perhaps absurd, would it be to browse youtube videos from 250AD or 500BC? Will recorded history unveil a hidden anthropological pattern, and will human evolution become a sitcom for tomorrow's entertainment? Yesterday will always look primitive because the 4th dimension creates the illusion of sequential happening. Today, The 90s feel primitive, and its technology will support its primitive 'look.' Technologies of yesterday distort the appearance of regular people. People must think and believe they're on the 'cutting edge' of 'things' because their experience is limited by being entangled inside the present moment. As we exist through this present moment, we become tomorrow's content, knowingly and unknowingly participating in the evolution of mankind.
How absurd will today look in 100-200-500 years? How fast can we obsolesce yesterday's perception? Will full-spectrum surveillance and recorded history change our perception of human evolution?
Lastly, if invention/discovery is born out of necessity, wouldn't necessity be a response to the space-time information loop as we interface within the NOW? Is human necessity a side-effect of today being enfolded inside one cosmic teleological unfolding? Our mobility may be limited by motility, just ask a tree, its freewill revolves around soaking up the sun.
Can we extract hidden parables from time-lapse photography? Our understanding of flowers can change once we have access to their past-present-future through a high definition camera lens. Will this kind of kaleidoscopic awareness change our understanding of human evolution?

The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr.
Remember, you need more than one note to make beautiful music.
Love is the missing link!
