Object reading

    Whilst going through the Kant reading, something that really caught my attention was the second thesis in which he talks about how with every generation of human beings, there is a possibility of getting closer to a degree of development that could further the state of evolution of man. The way this happens is by each generation passing on their own, personal seeds of enlightenment to their successor.  However, there could be a number of reasons for which this information would not be effectively transferred. The child could be an orphan and not have parents to pass on this information to him, the child could grow up hating the parents and opposing all of their beliefs in the effort to not be anything like them, maybe the parents were too closed off and not open enough with the child to share their experiences. The point is, what if there was another way to transfer this information in a different, more physical form, as there are a lot of children that grow up without being raised by their parents or being taught any beliefs or ideologies.  Since it is the technological era, it would probably be some sort of computer chip that parents transferred information about their life experiences, lessons, and all their personal knowledge onto. It would be a physical requirement or a natural occurrence that would coincide with the fertilization of the egg in the womb or wherever eggs are fertilized, therefore even if one of the parents abandons the child or did not live to meet the child, the information would still exist, allowing for the progress and evolution of the generation.
