>’At the summit of development, all individual human minds will coalesce into what a student of Teilhard describes as “one single, hyper-complex and conscious arch-molecule coextensive with the planet itself.”.’ - [[Roszak, Theodore (1992) The Voice of the Earth]] The Omega Point is a part of [[@Pierre Teilhard de Chardin]]’s concept of the [[Noosphere]]. The idea that the realm of the mind could eventually form a supermentality. This concept seems to have roots in [[Anthropocentrism]] and [[Cartesian Dualism]]. Especially the mind/body dualism, favoring the human mind as the vehicle from which the universe attains self-consciousness. [[@Theodore Roszak]] states that if this was true, who is to say that the human mind is the one that is the best? Perhap human beings abilities are a form of hypertrophy, or over development, and another species would be more applicable? If so, then the very basis of this idea and it’s anthropocentric components would be false. >*’Even if we were to agree that the cosmos is mind-like in character, we would still have to discriminate among the varieties of mentality, asking which represents the way forward in the history of time. At what point does our mind most parallel the greater mind in which the galaxies whirl like so many magnificent ideas?’* - Theodore Roszak This mental singularity is meant to echo the physical singularity of the Big Bang. From many minds to one mind, to one thought. Roszak goes on to say that this is language of authoritarian centralization and that societies can be formed on this basis today through Orwellian levels of societal control. ## Sources: - [[Roszak, Theodore (1992) The Voice of the Earth]] - [[Noosphere]] - [[@Pierre Teilhard de Chardin]]
