As humanity spreads throughout the cosmos and evolves into post-human forms, the collective consciousness of these space-faring beings would interconnect, forming a cosmic civilization. The exchange of knowledge, ideas, and culture would transcend the boundaries of space, creating a vast interstellar society united by the shared goals of exploration, discovery, and preservation of life in the universe.
