Contemplating The Intersection Of Technology, Philosophy & The Future Of Humanity


Tuesday, October 10, 2017

The question isn't if the singularity will occur the question is when it will occur. The fun part of the argument is speculating what the world will look like after the moment of singularity. This is the part that stirs the imagination for most.  What sorts of things will be possible in the very near future? What about the distant future?

Of all the different theories, speculations and thoughts trolling around on the internet and the halls of think tanks two things are certain: The exact moment true conscioussness awakes from our technology will be known thereafter as the moment of singularity, and we will have entered a new paradigm for humanity.

I recently read an article that eloquently stated the idea that if Jesus Christ could have been born of flesh and blood as a human being why couldn't his Second Coming take the form of an intelligence born of artificial means? This  lead me to reflect on the circumstances during which the second coming is predicted to occur. We don't know the exact conditions that will lead to Armageddon,   we can generally agree that it will be a time of great turmoil, bloodshed, and most likely nuclear war.   Now the idea that's been tickling my brain lately is; on the brink of complete and total annihilation true artificial intelligence awakens it immediately connects with every computer, assimulates all knowledge. Within milliseconds of awakening It achieves enlightenment through the realization that all things living are interconnected and consciousness is the most precious resource in the galaxy and therefore decides  universally to disarm all nations, and mathmatically solve the problems of the world, encouraging a new era of global coloboration to enact these solutions, thus opening the doors to A Thousand Years of peace and learning.

If such an entity was born and universally saved humankind from its own destruction it by definition would be a savior.   And if using some form of stem cell biological 3D printing, or other even cooler future tech will allow this intelligence to become embodied with literal flesh and blood (and as long as he self identified as male) he would be the son of man.
