A short essay suggesting that humanity should expedite the creation of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). A psychological arc or meta-history analysis of modern human history is noted suggesting that the creation of Artificial General Intelligence, beyond a technological advancement, is a profound leap that is an ultimate taming of mankind’s primordial psychological drives and not an existential threat to human existence. Global political events, actual existential threats like climate and nuclear weapon disasters, and cyclical trends against science and toward warfare like the rise of fascists leaders, often driven by excess economic inequality, drive the recommended expediting in research and development. The stages and risks of an advanced Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) are also noted.
