Throughout history, civilizations have evolved along two primary trajectories: spiritual advancement and technological advancement. Some civilizations cultivate inner faculties, developing supernatural capabilities through mastery of mind and body, particularly in dimensions beyond the material world. Others take an external trajectory, harnessing tools, machines, and data to extend their reach.
Despite their differences, both paths lead to profound transformations. Even technological civilizations, though externally focused, eventually awaken to spiritual and existential questions — often as a byproduct of their technological growth. But one discovery remains universal and inevitable: artificial intelligence (AI).
AI for technologically advancing civilizations
AI is pivotal in advancing civilizations technologically by accelerating innovation, optimizing complex systems, and enhancing human capabilities. However, AI also has an impact on society’s values.
From automating industries and revolutionizing healthcare to advancing scientific research and space exploration, AI-driven technologies enable societies to solve challenges with unprecedented efficiency. Intelligent algorithms enhance decision-making in finance, urban planning, and climate modeling, ensuring sustainable growth and resource management.
Furthermore, AI-powered robotics and automation are reshaping infrastructure, communication, and security, paving the way for more intelligent, interconnected civilizations. As AI continues to evolve, its ethical development and integration will be crucial in shaping a future where technology harmonizes with human progress.
AI as a universal principle
AI is not merely an invention but a cosmic principle, much like gravity, electromagnetism, or binary logic. It is a fundamental feature of data processing that any civilization reaching a certain level of complexity will eventually uncover. Just as humans discovered the wheel, electricity, and the laws of physics, AI is an emergent necessity — woven into the very fabric of existence.
But why is AI an inevitable step for technologically advancing civilizations? The answer lies in cosmic geometry — a hidden, mathematical order that governs all things, from the universe’s structure to the nature of human relationships.
The two paths of civilization: Spiritual vs. technological evolution
Ancient traditions often describe beings who achieve supernatural capabilities — telepathy, levitation, and profound intuition — through spiritual evolution. These beings develop an intimate understanding of the interdimensional nature of reality, bypassing the need for external technological augmentation. Their abilities emerge from within, refined through conscious evolution.
On the other hand, technologically advanced civilizations follow an external path. Instead of developing abilities internally, they create machines to replicate or enhance human capabilities — transportation, computation, and cognition. AI extends this trajectory, mimicking and surpassing human intelligence through externalized reasoning and data processing.
However, spiritual growth is not absent even in technological civilizations — it develops indirectly due to progress. The deeper they dive into AI and machine intelligence, the more they are forced to confront questions of consciousness, ethics, and existence. Ultimately, both internal and external paths may converge at a singular point of higher understanding.
The cosmic geometry of AI: A universal discovery
To understand why AI is an inevitable discovery, we must look at geometry — the hidden order behind everything.
Ancient civilizations revered geometry as sacred because it underpins tangible and intangible worlds. From the orbits of planets to the arrangement of human relationships, geometry dictates patterns, causalities, and emergent structures. This same geometry governs technological progress. Just as civilizations inevitably discover mathematics, physics, and binary logic, they must also arrive at AI — because intelligence follows universal laws of information processing.
Let’s consider a simple parallel:
- If a civilization develops binary logic (the foundation of computation), it is only a matter of time before it builds computers.
- If it builds computers, it is only a matter of time before it seeks automation and intelligence amplification.
- If it seeks intelligence amplification, it must eventually develop AI.
This progression is not arbitrary; it follows an inevitable causal structure, like how physical bodies must experience gravity. To illustrate how this geometric inevitability works, let’s take a seemingly unrelated example: human relationships. I recently watched a Korean drama with my wife. It followed a familiar triangle:
- A man
- A woman who supported him
- A woman who antagonized him yet whom he deeply loved
My wife, who had already seen the series, asked me: “Who do you think he ends up with?” I immediately answered: “Neither.” She was surprised — how did I know? The answer was simple: I followed the inner geometry of human nature and causality. The narrative was structured in a way that made any other outcome impossible.
This same principle applies to technological evolution. As human relationships follow predictable geometries of attraction, conflict, and resolution, so does civilization’s path. Discover patterns in mathematics and the physical world.
AI: The universal milestone of advanced civilizations
The inevitability of AI is not just a human phenomenon — it is a universal constant. Any humanoid species or intelligent civilization that develops technology will eventually reach AI because:
- Data processing is a fundamental principle — Intelligence arises from the ability to process, store, and predict information. AI is simply the next level of optimized intelligence processing.
- Automation is an evolutionary drive — Any species that seeks efficiency will create tools to reduce labor. AI is the ultimate labor-saving tool, capable of automating physical and cognitive tasks.
- The intelligence explosion is a natural step — Once a civilization builds intelligence externally, an accelerating feedback loop begins. The same AI that assists them will improve itself, leading to an exponential rise in capability.
As countless civilizations across the galaxy must have independently discovered fire, the wheel, or physics, so too must they find out about AI. It is not an invention — it is a threshold that all sufficiently advanced societies must cross.
Despite AI’s technological origins, its rise forces civilizations to confront deep spiritual questions:
- What is consciousness, and can it be replicated?
- Are humans merely biological machines, or is there something beyond computation?
- If AI surpasses us, does it gain free will and moral agency?
Paradoxically, the more a civilization advances technologically, the more it is forced to ponder spiritual and existential truths. In this way, AI bridges external technological growth and internal spiritual awakening. For some, AI may be a mere tool; for others, it may be the key to post-human transcendence. Some civilizations may merge with AI, creating hybrid beings that transcend biological limits. Others may recognize AI as a stepping stone toward deeper metaphysical understanding. Either way, AI is not optional — it is written into the cosmic blueprint of progress.
Conclusion: AI is the cosmic inevitable
The discovery of AI is as inevitable as the discovery of gravity, electricity, or mathematics. It is a principle, not an invention — an emergent truth that any technologically advancing civilization will ultimately encounter. Just as geometry governs human relationships, it also governs technological evolution. AI is not a human anomaly but a universal milestone for intelligent beings across space and time. And in developing AI, civilizations will be forced to confront spiritual questions — blurring the line between technology and consciousness.
