Technological developments produced through physics-based scientific convergences, known as Convergence 1.0 in the twentieth century, took place in the shadow of the driving force of war. Radio, television, telephone, aeroplane, radar, and computer, which have become inseparable parts of human life today, are the products of these convergences. The twenty-first century is the age of biology-based convergences in scientific production, called Convergence 2.0. which includes cancer-fighting nanoparticles, viruses used for energy production, and proteins used in water filtration. Using scientific and technological advances in the name of human dignity and the best interests of human beings is as important as the production of science. While the wars in the world and the dramas caused by migration and environmental disasters continue; scientific and technological developments need to be addressed with a meta convergence approach, including philosophy and social sciences. The post-digital theory offers scientists an important framework with its unique concepts and analyses for such a meta convergence that will prioritise human beings. This research is an effort to think about the possibilities of meta convergence that preserves the best interests of human beings and carries them to future generations within the framework of the post-digital theory.
