As the advance of technology continues to accelerate, there are two possible paths our world might travel. One path might lead us toward an ideal society or another could place the world under the control of an ever-expanding technocracy. We could continue to become more and more disconnected from each other, disconnected from reality, and […]
I have written earlier that we live in a world of lies, and recently came upon this quote: “I think we are living in a world of lies: lies that don’t even know they are lies, because they are the children and grandchildren of lies. One of the hardest things to accept is that the […]
Many people would love to go back in time to be part of the celebrations of the greatest moments in history. Here are a few of those moments: The Declaration of Independence and the start of the American Revolution in 1776 The Winning of the World War II in 1945 The Day the Berlin Wall […]
A bash is a joyous celebration or uproarious party. So, what is an ExoBash? It’s a celebration of the next major milestone in the development of ExoTech and its release to the world. Specifically, the upcoming ExoBash is an exhibition and celebration of the first fully language-controlled ExoBrain III. It has taken decades of intensive […]
A misconception is a mistaken concept, thought, idea or opinion. It is a misunderstanding. I see civilization on this planet as founded on many misconceptions. I am more and more amazed at the number of misconceptions in what is called science. John Ioannidis is one of the most published and influential scientists in the world. […]
I believe all people have, at one time or another, imagined what it would be like to live a life without limits. A life of no limits would include living with few restrictions or constraints, living unhindered, unimpeded, unrestrained, unrestricted and unsuppressed. To me, that describes the potential of ExoTech as it will operate in […]
Differentiation is the ability to correctly recognize things as separate and distinct, to see the differences between things, and to be able to perceive things that should be separate and distinct. The opposite of differentiation is a condition in which things that are different appear to be the same. Things that should be in separate […]
I believe most people wish to create a better world. But many people, after failing so many times to help, have given up and forgotten about it. And some have become so bitter about it they are now become focused on making the world worse. There are technologies on this planet with the potential to […]
The term “technocracy” became popular in the 1930s when politicians were often blamed for the Great Depression, and a scientifically engineered society was thought to be a better solution than government. A technocracy is a society controlled or ruled by technical experts, including the computer scientists and engineers of the modern world. Certainly technology can […]
The term “planned obsolescence” originated in 1924 when General Motors head Alfred P. Sloan Jr. began a strategy of convincing car owners that they needed a new car every year. In the 1920s, a lightbulb cartel deliberately lowered the average lifespan of a bulb to 1,000 hours in order to boost sales. Planned obsolescence involves […]
