Paleonoic era adj Greek palaios, ancient + Greek noos, mind; cf. Paleozoic era, from Greek
zoe, life Ð the current epoch of ancient mind, of the first intelligent machines; the era that in the
history of consciousness takes place similar to that of Paleozoic era in the
history of life.

future, we appear to be

prison of cranium in creating computers and other increasingly more self-organising forms of artificial intelligence.
