Totally possible. Humans love to ascribe our intelligence as something supernatural because it makes us feel special in a giant Universe that doesn't care about us. If we continue the path we're on now, we absolutely WILL end up developing something that will surpass us in intelligence by magnitudes.

​

We are animals; a species of great ape. We're about as bound(currently) to our biology as the rest of the creatures on this rock. We simply have a relatively larger amount of processing power in the head to do more complex tasks, which include self-awareness and the questioning of reality. We've already used our technology to overcome nature in more ways than one, so why should it stop with brain power?

Hi. I created /r/luciddreaming. Over decades, many thousands of times, I have become aware that I am dreaming because I question reality.

Just want to thank you for building that sub, I have fond memories of trying to use that to learn how to learn lucid dreaming when I was a kid
