I think, culturally, we'll really need to explore the classic syncs for meaning - ie. classical art and literature, classical architecture, sacred geometry in buildings (or really architecture built lovingly for the human subconscious), and really - although this might sound cheesy - I think we need to take our approaches to the sciences back to the same kind of reverence, and integration of meaning, that the renaissance alchemists and Hermetic magicians had in mind.
I see us in a place where we have to generate our own meaning culturally, very lovingly and with pain-staking attention to detail, and not just throw it up as an afterthought like you're building a modern mall. That's where I think a read back through classical, and even 18th/19th century esoteric lit, is needed for us to re-humanize our relationship with technology, with that strange bag of nature's tricks we call emergent phenomena, and to me a lot of that is quite well developed in the symbols of both tarot key 1: the magician, who brings ideas of the divine into their physical manifestation, and in key 21: the world or world dancer, who becomes - herself (or if androgen itself), the holder, weaver, and story-teller in the weaver of the cosmic fire and water or the powers of the power of Shiva and Kali shakti. As human beings, and really as any eschalon of biological life, we are complex math and I think we need to work at generating more beautiful math than ugly math - it's what we steep in and what's around us slowly modifies us for the better or worse.
To be arrogant about ourselves or our development though, and to keep most of our most valuable tools for the occasion in the discard heap and unattended, would be for us to bring about the dystopian future we fear - ie. Aldus Huxley's Brave New World, or worse.
