Should the Internet Be Conscious?

By -
Given what neuroscience says about human consciousness, and given the emmense size of the internet, should there be early signs of artificial intelligence, on the internet? It is a complex question, involving what makes up human consciousness. Neuroscience says that consciousness is created by the sum of all the working parts of the brain, that the 84 billion or so brain neurons collectively create consciousness - the illusion of free will, creative thought and the feelings of being alive - having a soul, is just a function of many parts working together. If this were true, then the many parts of the internet, which far outnumber those of the human brain, should be able to think for itself. However, it is the way in which those parts developed, what there functions are and where they are in relation to everything else that determines consciousness. The internet without creative ability, or communication from it to us, cannot therefore become conscious, merely by being made up of ma...

The Truth Will Overwhelm You.

One day, in some far off place and time, someone, or maybe some humanoid AI robot, will make a discovery about the universe and its origins, purpose and inner workings which will be so overwhelming, terrifying and wonderful, that once you get it, once you understand it, it will make you cry. And not just welling up a little. A long exhaling wail. Loud and long. The hairs on your whole body will stand up on end, a massive total body, tingling sensation will pass through you. I know this because I have already seen the truth. I know little about it. I just don’t know how to get to the truth. It is shrouded, covered in the thick fog of understanding and confusion. I can feel it, I have seen it, but the science that is needed to bring to a wider audience is missing. Maybe I’m not smart enough, or maybe I don’t have the cosmological and physics knowledge to piece it together? I know that God is at the centre of it. But he is not a person or a being, or a he. It is an ‘it’. It has no need fo...

What Is The Social Weather Project?

By -
It is a study of macro human behaviour, using just two sets of data. 1) income and 2) location. This Facebook group has been set up to establish whether there would be enough volunteers willing to add their anonymised data. In the data collection, backroom administrators and researchers will not be able to access name and address details of volunteers. Volunteers would have to manually update their salary details at least once a year and location data would move directly from their phone and onto the app on their phones and then into the data sets. Tens of thousands of people would have to take part to make the system work. There would be two vectors. One would be location which would be in the horizontal plane and the other would be salary converted into USD and then converted again into altitude, using one dollar to a pixel. So someone entering $25,000 yearly income, would be 25,000 pixels up within the 3D model. The 3D model would then be fed into a live animation on a website, w...
