PENTTI MALASKA speculates about evolution and the Global Brain Part III. This is the most exciting speculation, and is something that is within the realm of possibility also. " Finally, speculated Malaska, there will be the "Grandparent Internet" -- a global mind with superior intelligence and wisdom. Such an intellect could very well be a Quantum Global Brain.""

ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF LIFE: a prototype has already been created by George Church. We are building cybernetic fusions of mind melds between the same and different species' minds, the mental control of machines, electronically-enhanced humans (prostheses and so much more). This stuff is not fantasy. These are recent reports from the scientific literature. We need to start thinking about the most useful possibilities and catch up with the dreaming artists and philosophers! View in LinkedIn

CHIPS MEET GENES. "As fuzzy logic theorist Bart Kosko has said: "Biology is not destiny. It was never more than tendency. It was just nature's first quick and dirty way to compute with meat. Chips are destiny." (And photo-qubits might come soon after standard silicon-based chips, but even they are only an intermediate means for eternal intelligent life in the universe.).""

GENES TRUMP CHIPS (duh!), as genes are the stupendous multibillion year, multivariate parallel experimentation extravaganza of evolution that has created these thinking, problem-solving, memory-learning and anticipatory intelligence units (let's redefine intelligence). Genes are nothing but sparks of genius. These genes have now encoded innate silicon chips with mere fragments of our thinking intelligence, in an effort to extend and amplify evolution through technology. View in LinkedIn

FUTURIST REVIEW: "These posthumans will depend not only on carbon-based systems but also on silicon and other "platforms" which might be more convenient for different environ- ments, like outer space. All these new sentient life forms might be connected to become a global brain, a large interplanetary brain and even a larger inter- galactic brain. Intelligence will keep on evolving and will try to answer the old-age questions of life, the universe and everything."" " http://lnkd.in/FGKEvD View in LinkedIn

3D PRINTING IP GOLD RUSH. "During the last decade, the US Patent and Trademark Office received more than 6,800 patent applications related to 3D printing. Since 2007, about 680 patents a year have been filed—39.6 percent more than 2002, when 487 patents were filed. Since 2003, the office has granted 3,500 patents related to 3D printing.""

LEGO FOR 3D PRINTING. “Can you 3D print an airplane?” While the researchers realized that 3D printing was an impractical approach at such a large scale, they wondered if it might be possible instead to use the discrete “digital” materials that they were studying. (From MIT’s wonderfully named Center for Bits and Atoms)."" " http://lnkd.in/j7Nism View in LinkedIn

YOU KNOW THE SAYING? BS = bullsh*t; MS = more sh*t; PhD = Piled Higher and Deeper. That little speck of nothingness. Excuse my language. http://lnkd.in/U8RusA View in LinkedIn

BEAR WITH THE CYBORG STUFF: I am not naturally drawn to cyber-punk or post humanism, or sci-fi fantasy. Give me the classics. But the reality is that we are in an era of Transhumanism: "an ideology and movement which seeks to develop and make available technologies that eliminate aging and greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities, in order to achieve a "posthuman future."(Wikipedia). We have some of the scientific tools, and the rest are emerging, and this is an enormous new world to plunge into and explore. View in LinkedIn

PROTOTYPE HUMAN EMBRYO CLONED (May 20, 2013). "Given the nature of some of the manipulations involved, and the constitution of the resultant cell mass, it is not realistic to imagine that the amalgam they created would ever develop much beyond the stage they present.""
