Posthuman Norms

[Rynn]

Is it probable for most clades of posthumanity to be social creatures?

I’m going to answer from the perspective of OA, because actually trying to predict the future with something so vague as “post human” is an exercise in futility.

Transapients appear to still primarily be social creatures but their population numbers (in the sephirotics at least) are relatively low. I think it makes sense for OA style superintelligences to still be social because the benefits of social instincts don’t go away just because you’re a transap. If anything the benefits get heightened because you’re in an even better position to specialise and understand cooperative strategy.

At a certain point though the question wanders into territory of “what does it even mean to be a society.” It’s debatable whether archai are individuals or should be better understood as highly harmonious super organisms.
