snip from article: The new real-life NSA supercomputer, called Titan, is named after a race of gods created from descendants of Earth and Uranus, hybrids, immortal, of great strength of body and mind and rulers of Earth; it was the Titan Prometheus who created man from clay and theft of fire. The Titan Supercomputer, with enough computing power and infallible memory to become sentient, will come online in October, 2013 and, like “Skynet”, will it begin to learn? With the brain capacity of 41 million human minds and all of the data and information about billions of human beings - this "machine" could become quite powerful very quickly. With connections to satellites and every major power and command center on earth and the knowledge base of nearly every human mind in the written history of mankind - all written knowledge: we can only imagine the possibilities. Human Epitaph Kurzweil, the lead public futurist barking for the technocratic elite, predicts the next evolution on earth will be the machine. In his vision, mankind morphs into a machine, leaving his ephemeral human vessel behind, a biological consciousness welded into machine performance on a quest for immortality and a chance to become a god. According to Kurzweil, the current human biological evolutionary path to knowledge is bottlenecked by brain speed limits and memory capacity: "The brain's weakness is the extraordinarily slow speed of its computing medium, a limitation that computers do no share with us. For this reason, DNA-based evolution will eventually have to be abandoned." * With the arrival of Titan, the latest and greatest model of a co-evolving machine-based life, the technology now exists to eradicate all human privacy. This is a very big event in human history, one that would require a book to explore, but I am going to venture a few reasons why it will become the bifurcation point in the race of the man versus the machine. Privacy also includes privacy of thought; technology permitting direct measure and prediction of thought is now being successfully deployed. ·  Privacy is a uniquely human idea and experience and I would argue necessary for human evolution and growth as a species of individuals seeking an individual experience with paths to personal growth, sprirtualism and self actualization. Without privacy, what is a individual? He or she is a forgone conclusion, a worker bee, a drone or, using a Star Trek analogy, a Borg. Without privacy, human development, personality, strengths, appearance and characteristics will become uniform and monotonous. Without privacy, there will eventually be no concept of private property and its accumulation toward expressions of sudden knowledge bursts and improvement via repeated struggle of human minds seeking to solve problems benefiting the individual and species. ·  Without private property, there can be no Liberty by definition. Liberty is the freedom of will to choose and do individual things, think individual thoughts and express oneself individually, concomitantly where news and knowledge of these expressions is always derivative, never before the fact. Without privacy, I would argue much of mankind will make his last act of individualism and choose not to live, because privacy is the oneness, the aloneness that defines the “I” in "I am alive". Mankind 2.0 Kurzweil and other futurists, god wannabees, technocrats, and wealth-dense psychopaths all know and anticipate an end for human beings in our present form. They anticipate a grand culling where those who will not conform and 'transform' will lose the will to live in a world of intellectual and physical inferiority; in a world without the privacy necessary to trigger a far stronger, intelligent and self evolving human individual. The technocrats expect 'standard' wetware human beings to become drones, slaves, relegated to the toy closest of wealthy gods looking for interesting gifts for their children. But I think humanity is still possessed of something the gods of the machine have failed to recognize in their haste to end the individual and build a collective hive minded, data sharing, alpha Borg. Quantum Minds and Spiritual Entanglements ·  The human brain, impossibly slow and working with junior-sized memory, is still not fully understood and, surprisingly to the machine metaphysicians, is still able to solve problems apparently impossible within a purely analytical, algorithm-based paradigm of brain-mind operation. Many scientists and philosophers find the idea that a computer could be conscious, just by doing what they do now only faster and with more memory, wishful thinking bordering on insane. Thinkers such as John Searle have made arguments that Artificial Intelligence is only a “ useful tool in the study of mind” and no matter how quickly, or massively parallel, these “Strong Calculators” perform algorithms and mathematical calculations - without the ability to ever ‘understand‘ they can only simulate the operation of the mind. Summarizing Searle and others such as John McCarthy, the inventor of the term Artificial Intelligence: mental states are biological phenomena. Consciousness, intentionality, subjectivity and mental causation are all a part of our biological life history, along with growth, reproduction, the secretion of bile, and digestion. ·  Another scientist and writer versed in multiple disciplines is Roger Penrose, English mathematical physicist, recreational mathematician and philosopher. Starting with Gödel’s incompleteness theorem and working through some advanced mathematics, Penrose concludes the human mind is not a Turing Machine because, if it were, the mind would be hobbled by Gödelian limitations. ·  Penrose postulates that since Gödelian impossible problems require an infinite number of calculations, the human mind goes around this “Gödelian Bottleneck” using quantum computing, a method of solving problems of the type requiring a large number, or even an infinite number of calculations. Quantum computers, that have been already built using human DNA as the processor, instantly distill a large number of calculations into a result by “actually turning an infinite time into a finite time”[**] Beyond the abstract arguments couched in obscurity of abstruse mathematics is the question of life from a spiritual point of view. The idea that human beings are more than a meat sack benefiting from an evolved, 3 pound, wet-working, DNA based, sugar-powered parallel processor. Many people see the human body as the seat of a soul, a higher being condensed into a suitable shell, enjoying a spectacularly human experience as part of an immortal sequence of an infinite number of lifetimes. The evidence of what Lawrence LeShan called the “Clairvoyant Reality” and “Transpsychic Reality” seems to indicate the human mind is also connected to a higher order of consciousness, something connecting all life, perhaps all life in the Universe. Dr. LeShan and others have used altered states of consciousness to discover information and to affect changes in our reality including healing of others through psychic connections, that cannot be explained using models based on algorithms and Turing machines. Humans possess a DNA-based genetic blueprint capable of storing massive amounts of data, at least 700 Terabytes per gram of DNA is the current estimate. Additionally, the human brain appears to contain a light-sensitive receiver capable of detecting light even in total darkness, the Pineal gland. The Pineal gland structure and the structure of DNA suggest that both may have properties of a receiving antenna, capable of receiving and transmitting electromagnetic information. ·  These discoveries and the lack of information about how that brain/mind organ actually works, mean that the human evolution/spiritual path my have yet much to reveal. Perhaps expanded consciousness and more directed use of dormant DNA will lead to a biological human 2.0, given time. Collectivism’s Final Frontier Kurzweil makes the claim that machines have characteristics which make them superior to humans along a number of dimensions. One of the primary attributes of machine intelligences is their ability to quickly share and clone information (data). Machines, according to Kurzweil would only require one working unit to populate their entire kind - a single machine life-form could then clone and copy data to others; instantly the new machines would have access to all the knowledge of their ancestor. “Machines can readily share all of their accumulated knowledge, so only one machine has to do the learning”. ·  Humans on the other hand must learn via a slow and arduous process and, at the same time, suffer the loss of memory and incorporate detriments of an aging body. The advantages of instantly sharing, copying and cloning information among artificially intelligent entities are, however, inconsistent with individuality and novelty. Humans beings are individuals, experiencing an individual life; contributing to the collective lives of others only as required for optimum survival of the individual and hence the species. Individuals are required to produce and populate the species and distinctive characteristics evolve by natural selection and the nature of the spawned individual, which introduces novelty and unexpected consequences and the uniqueness of an individuals experience. Data sharing, cloning and copying are schematic code for uniformity and a singular experience. Creating life based on sharing and copying are consistent with Collectivism, a paradigm used to conform and transform individuality into uniformity and consistent with the known consequences of generational incest. Kurzweil and global elite expecting to somehow “breakaway” from their humanity and merge with the machine resulting in both immortality and access to infinite knowledge must also understand it is the nature of collectivism to reduce complexity in the pursuit uniformity. Collectivism favors the collectors; any systems involving sentient life must also include a hierarchy of interests with rules of survival dictating use of resources. Kurzweil and company may find themselves trapped in their own collective, prisoners of immortality and numbed down by monotony. In the words of the Borg: We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us.
