Hey Jake:

 

I read your post — One of Ray Kurzweil’s predictions for 2099

 

Interesting. However, as I know you're on a quest for some liberating self introspective knowledge, here's another take on the term, "organic human being."

 

First off, to distinguish the context of how a nobody poet from Pittsburgh uses it, I oft spell human being like human be-ing as to signify the potential of evolving and always striving to edify one's true self in accordance and harmony with the "pure energy" of the universe.

 

For further clarification of a different context of the term, "organic human being" Ray Kurzweil uses, Carlos Castaneda's The Teachings of Don Juan series clearly establishes the difference between "organic" and "in-organic" beings which therefore would precisely juxtapose the context Mr. Kurzweil is using.

 

Another example would be found in the book An Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda.

 

And, yet another, found in the book on Existentialism I suggested to you in another email. In terms of existential meaning. A quick difference in the way Kurzweil uses "organic human" from another path where "organic human be-ing" would be found lies in the two Jean Paul Sarte terms "pour soi" and "En soi" ... or rather being "in itself" and be-ing "for itself."

 

A chair in your kitchen is perfect in its form of a kitchen and is the thingnes it is. Therefore, it is being "in itself."

 

A human be-ing like Jim Morrison who lived by the existential principle that "existence proceeds essence" and not the religious dogmatic views on the contrary that "essence proceeds existence" would be a perfect example of an "organic human be-ing." Jim wiped his slate clean and recreated himself and kept it all going beyond the understanding and capabilities of most people and was like that of Nietzsche's "super man." Jim was definitely was an example of "being for itself." Jim was a human be-ing ... stretching the sidewalks borders beyond the seams - to the sweet and darkened oceans - everyday hopes and dreams.
