Re: Mind's Eye Search Engine As God

Trust seems like a strong barrier to the future of a very open society,
even as we write some of us are making a conscious decision to expose
vulnerabilities that may be used by some unknown adversary. Just
participating in everyday life in the slightest fashion can open more
potential dangers or opportunity for it (intentional or not). It is a
dilemma that modern society pretends to be ignorant of for performance
reasons, but to achieve God-like potential we will have to resolve such
security compromises in the technical arena. I like to think within a
half century we will be able to link minds for the pursuit of common
goals and very rapidly contribute individual capacity for experience,
expertise and intuitions (probably in realtime only for that, not stored
in any fashion) in groups where multiple vectors can be explored and
shared in groups as easily as we can navigate an online strategy game
today and coordinate our efforts. For instance if I am struggling with
something emotionally my mind could reach out for compatible and
experienced individuals to help develop a better comprehension of the
problem at a far greater rate than muggling through and possibly
dragging it along. I imagine that the rate of communication in that
scenario would reduce latency to nearly nil and multiply the cognitive
potential of small groups by an unimaginable amount. There is the
question of building up to that point and technology is beginning to
integrate many facets of the real world in ways that blur the boundary.
I would love to experiment with the interfacing portion of the equation!

It is very rare that I look to the web for an answer, usually it is for
knowledge to use in finding an answer or a better question, less
disappointment that way. ;-)
