Carter Phipps

Carter Phipps is an American journalist, author, researcher, and public speaker. He has written extensively on the topics of personal and cultural transformation, specializing in the topics of trans-humanism and the new wave of disruptive technology and its potential for reshaping humanity as a species. His latest book, Evolutionaries: Unlocking the Spiritual and Cultural Potential of Science, Technology and Human Evolution, takes a deep dive into the impact contemporary science and technology is having on our understanding of our place in the cosmos and the implications of the changes they can bring.

In his work, Phipps brings together a wealth of knowledge gleaned from multiple disciplines including science, philosophy, theology, and psychology. He integrates this insight with a practical application of emerging technologies and methods of cultivating personal transformation. In doing so, he illuminates the intersection between ancient wisdom and modern science, offering a much-needed bridge between the two and providing practical applications for individuals and communities.

In Evolutionaries, Phipps discusses some of the more profound implications of becoming “evolutionary humans” in the context of our rapidly changing world. He calls for an embrace of the following concepts: new consciousness technologies, agility and resilience in the face of massive change, and the ability to embrace uncertainty.

Phipps introduces readers to examples of the technologies he discusses, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, drone networks, and even gene editing, and suggests how they can be leveraged to uncover new realms of human potential. This includes the personal and the collective, the internal and the external, the local and the global. He also demonstrates how these technologies can be used to more closely align our lives to our natural environment and expand our sense of our place in the universe.

Additionally, Phipps covers the implications of these technologies for society. He offers thoughts on how social institutions, economies, and of course politics may be impacted in the near future due to the advancements of technology, including how these changes can influence our public consciousness and social discourse. He emphasizes that not all of these changes will be negative, however, and presents ways for us to find the light in even the darkest of times.

But Evolutionaries isn’t just about the future. It is also about the present. Phipps offers practical advice on how to navigate the tumultuous waters of our present day, emphasizing living in the now and embracing whatever path we find ourselves on. He also opens readers up to the possibility of growing spiritually and emotionally within the context of a technological world.

Ultimately, Evolutionaries is a call to action for individuals, communities, and even corporations to embrace and integrate the new wave of disruptive technology into our lives and societies, while heeding the immense potential – both positive and negative – of doing so. Carter Phipps’ book provides a comprehensive and thoughtful exploration of this potential and how we, as a species, must embrace and cultivate it.
