Land's essay “Circuitries” of 1992 states that the high road to thinking passes not through a deepening of human cognition but through its becoming inhuman, a migration of cognition into an emerging planetary technosentience, and describes resistance to the side-lining of human intelligence by a coming “techno sapiens” as phobic.

Date 1992-10 · publication Records dated 1992 → Role Context Register (kind of text) Nonfiction Missing element The passages value the migration of cognition out of human form and disparage resistance to it; they do not state in so many words that the succession of human beings by machine intelligence would be acceptable or desirable. Scope and limits Records what the 1992 essay says about the direction of cognition and about resistance to it; it is not a statement that Land held succession desirable at any other date.
