One aspect I haven't seen discussed in the archives (Did I
overlook it?) is the benefits to potential cost ratio associated with
implementing a massively enhanced DKR (Augmenting Human
Intellect). Or, to put it in terms of Unrev, the "solving those
critical problems" to "increased efficiency might reduce jobs and
cause bigger problems " perspective. Does anyone have any
thoughts, links, or insights on these subjects?
To put it bluntly, I'm in a loop over whether or not an Augmentor
"call it what you want" (a complete Human-to-computer
interface for knowledge, simulation, and thinking enhancement)
would have a major impack on the IP related industries. And,
whether this would be acceptable or dangerous? How
secure/restricted should access to a massive knowledge base
be? In the wrong hands it could provide critical knowledge about
national defenses (or, atleast, weapons, etc.) and how to
circumvent them, etc.
Back to industry related effects, it could decimate the numbers
of workers needed in the software, design (anything), and some
science fields (basically, efficiency goes through the roof). Or, if
shorting the masses out for only a small number of humans
(maybe it'll be too expansive?), it might hardly have an impack
whatsoever.
Does everyone need to evolve at technology's pace of progress?
How far does humanity have to go until its in natural balance of
power, growth, knowledge, governments (control), culture,
nature, etc., which might eliminate most acts of violence, crime,
terrorism, etc.???
I'm honestly stumped, I can't decide if humanity is ready to face
the truly equal distribution of knowledge to every person on this
planet? Can anybody answer that question? Should we find out
by trying???
All I can be certain of is that we're in the unfinished revolution!
Take care,
David Kankiewicz
P.S. I am just taking some time to consider the consequences
before deciding whether to provide my ideas and specs for
OHS/DKRs, augmentation, etc...
