Lest we get into the 'wrong trousers'! Why correcting taxonomy is essential for conservation.
Technology is a good friend but may be a bad master!
Getting into the 'wrong trousers' can be dangerous!
Lest humanity get into the 'wrong trousers' and lose the battle of survival to our own 'inventions', we need to understand the position of machines as living-system as they evolve and the real position of the human kind in nature.
Correcting the taxonomical identity of the human kind and technology is very significant to conservation of life as we realise that we don't and can't 'control' the evolution of machines but are perhaps still able to devise some legislations to protect the human kind from their rivalery.
READ the Cybernetic Recombination & the Biology of Technolog to find out how bilogists missed out on technolgy as a form of life and on the correct position of the human kind in nature.
The Cybernetic Recombination & the Biology of Technology is not a piece of science fiction, prediction or a clever projection but is a proposed correction of (biological) taxonomy to represent the status quo of humanity and life as is and has been for thousands of years based on evidence.

On The Cybernetic Recombination and the Biology of Technology; Revisiting Linnaeus' Kingdom Minerals
Understanding the biology of technology is the only way - if any, to preserve nature and humanity.
This book is not a piece of science fiction, prediction or a clever projection but is a proposed correction of taxonomy to represent the status quo of humanity and life as is and has been for thousands of years.
Distinctive concepts presented in the book are:
- The Cybernetic recombination (versus biological recombination and cosmological recombination).
- The proposal that machines behave as species (associated organisms initially) backed by examples from nature and several illustrations.
- The proposal that we are not just another species and the devaluation of Darwin's outdated proposition that the human intellect is only different from that of animals in degree not in kind.
- Machines as a Cybernetic replicators (versus a biological replicator)
- Culture as a virus-like DNA supplement (As presented by Leslie White -> Culture = Energy x Technology (C= E*T)).
- A new taxonomic order comprising the contemporary human, culture, and machines (The Homocybernetica).
- The proposal to reinstate Linnaeus' Kingdom Minerals as a supra-domain of life to liberate biology from the limitation of protein.
Reviews are much appreciated.
