THE NATURAL LIMITS. “The signal shift in the development of the digital culture is the loss of physical laws as the conclusive arbiter of action. Physical and natural laws have generally governed what was possible, and so provided limits to everything from politics to property. Hence the notion of a "reality check." https://lnkd.in/dJTgZH3 View in LinkedIn

UPLOAD. "Russian multi-millionaire Dmitry Itskov, for one, hopes someday to upload the contents of a brain into a lifelike robot body as part of his 2045 Initiative." https://lnkd.in/dAUvynE View in LinkedIn

CONNECTOME. "High-fidelity brain preservation is a necessary step to an eventual Human Connectome Project, understanding the circuit-level organization of human and other animal brains. Progress in connectomics, or plastinating and scanning human and other animal brains, will allow us a much deeper understanding of healthy and disordered mental behavior, and may also help create significantly more intelligent and useful computers." https://lnkd.in/dne9BZp View in LinkedIn

BLIND DEDUCTION. "In just over a day, a powerful computer program accomplished a feat that took physicists centuries to complete: extrapolating the laws of motion from a pendulum's swings. Developed by Cornell researchers, the program deduced the natural laws without a shred of knowledge about physics or geometry." A confounding example of blind deduction. https://lnkd.in/d3kaQxh View in LinkedIn

TEN YEARS. "A detailed, functional artificial human brain can be built within the next 10 years." (Professor Henry Markram). https://lnkd.in/dQEQUkh View in LinkedIn
