Abstract: Homo sapiens, “wise hu man” in Latin, is the taxonomic species name for modern humans. But observing the current state of the world and its current trajectory, it is hard for me to accept the description “wise human”. I’d like to offer an alternative: Homo rationcinator, or reckoning human – where reckoning refers to both reasoning and computing.
