IEET The clock is ticking. Aubrey was just there at the cusp of the new millennium to emphasize the point that conceivably someone can do this. He was the first to make this point in a particularly emphatic, plausible, rational manner. Any number of similarly talented, motivated, resourced people could have taken up this gauntlet….

My series 2113 (2114( is a speculative series of articles on a fictional timeline of the future set one century from “now” . This time portrays the future as it might be based on several premises. This fictional timeline assumes things will be a logical extension of the world of 2014, will perpetuate all things…

Basic Income is idea that’s very difficult to compellingly sell to policymakers. Among policymakers I count the people that might have a sway on the acceptance and implementation of a basic income: – elected politicians – non-elected career bureaucrats – governmental academics and scientists – the banking sector – career lobbyists – (other) sponsors of…

What is Eusingularization? This term implies two things, first – the prefix Eu- for ‘good’, or “desirable”. That simple prefix conceptually implies that there is a range and diversity of possible “Singularities”. There isn’t “the” Singularity. Anyone who keeps talking about “the” Singularity simply doesn’t get it. The second implication of my use of the…

Connection is the transformation of humanity into trans- or post-humanity. – P. J. Manney . Hello everyone. I am Khannea Suntzu. My avatar name happens to coincide with my real life name as of last year. I am a transsexual artist from the Netherlands, and my chosen artform is “lifestyling” and “civil recalcitrance”. I blog,…

I am interested on proposals for collecting BitCoin donations to hire independent mercenaries or soldiers of fortune to 1 – find Boko Haram, and find the girls kidnapped, upon which the mercenaries would receive a certain amount of Bitcoin for every girl released, upon providing evidence the girl was kidnapped and vide (youtube) evidence of…

First article link, second article link, Terasem, Soleri City, Martine RothBlatt, Philip Linden, Giulio Prisco, High Fidelity Wiki, High Fidelity Homepage. We stand at the point in history when technology is catching up to ambitions. When Second Life started in 2003 it was a very constrained means for Virtual Reality Realization. Betweren 2005-2009 we went…

I would like to hear opinions on how we can rationally and scientifically decide what maximum yearly income should be warranted in specific countries. I am in favor of democratically deciding to impose a maximum income, and applying a 100% tax above that maximum income. If I were to personally express a preference relevant to…

I classify the wannabee “successful” as in part deluded and in part collaborators. Primarily I simply define personal success not as in amassing individual wealth, but rather how you contribute to shared collective wealth. If you do that, sure I don’t have issues with a reward. It is no longer possible for an appreciable percentage…

We have been lulled to sleep. We as in “the western, liberal, democratic, multicultural, inclusive, capitalist, globalized, service-economy” world has been lulled to sleep. Nobody says it best as the stand-up commentator George Carlin. This leitmotiff of the sleepless dream, the non aspirational world that is, according to Francis Fukuyama, “finished”, is nothing less than…

(Source) All seems to indicate that new, fully immersive next-generation virtual worlds and user interfaces may be behind the corner. Let’s go back to the future in the Metaverse! Facebook‘s acquisition of Oculus VR, makers of the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality (VR) headset, has been all over the news for weeks. The first press reports…

I just watched a video of an event in Amsterdam where the well-known Libertarian Stefan Molyneux spoke. Let me link it for your edification. Immediately after the event his Google+, Gmail and Youtube were deleted, as a result of complain vandalism. In other words, what he said caused a counter reaction. Now I am not…

Scenario 4 – A Future where things Turn out Badly without Basic Income It is the year 2040, and things are muddling on. It is the NAUSCOM, or “North Atlantic United Solidarity Command”. It is pretty much a defensive pact dedicated on providing shared defense against immigrants and uprisings. In the last 25 years there…

Scenario 3 – A Future that does well without Basic Income It is the year 2040. We are in the former United States of America. Things turned out spectacular and everyone is congratulating everyone else just how good we got it. Technological progress has been unabated, and we are clearly very close a a Technological…

Scenario 2 – What if Basic Income Goes Badly It is the year 2040. We are in the United States of America. In some periods in history the past is not discussed, and in this particular 2040 United States all people live in a shiny, wonderful present. Everyone is in total agreement the US is…

In response to the invitation posed on Reddit I formulate a typical illustrative four scenario matrix range. I also take in to account the speculative philosophical concepts of “Singularity”, “Transhumanism”, “Existential freedom”, and “Abolitionism” . Clearly the idea is growing – futurist Robert Theobald in Free Men and Free Markets back in the 1960s made…

The universe has become a tower and the tower mounted a lance of fire. Deep below the tower was a barely visible yellow dot with a half crown bright arc of silver. The dot was millions of kilometers distant, and the illusion is was below the tower was cultivated by the onset of deceleration of…

In this article I will be arguing why we can never willingly accept a partial die-off of the human species on the planet. I will argue we can’t even accept a transition to widespread disparity as a result of sharp decrease in available planetary resources. The point I will be making – any massive collapse…

My series 2113 is a speculative series of articles on a fictional timeline of the future set one century from now. This time portrays the future as it might be based on several premises. In 2010 there are many things wrong with the world, and we might experience major wars and crashes. Also, human rights…

There are two problems. First problem is there is an increasing number of rogue types and former military people fighting as mercenaries world wide. These people routinely engage in human rights violations. The second problem is closely related – that of people who are currently citizens of a EU member state and join in to…
