Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 26237455 United States 02/12/2013 10:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | iPlant philosophy: a model of the singularity? What happens when neruoscience dissolves the distinction between mind and body? What happens when the intimate, subjective and irrational human mind is fully integrated into the logic of science, and a stable, effective and lucid, yet decidedly neuroscientific model (M1) of the mind is realized? Eliminativists speak about the end of our common-sense understanding of the mind, but offer only vague speculations as to what might replace it. Is this a technological singularity – a point in history so complex and fast-moving that we cannot see beyond it? Monoamine modulation has given us profound social insight and change in the past; I’m thinking of drugs like Ritalin, coffee, Prozac and LSD, all strong modulators of the monoamines. But the iPlant introduces dynamics: the ability to shape monoamine modulation with an unprecedented temporal resolution. Suddenly, our minds become capable of functions such as rewarding brain stimulation, first demonstrated in rodents (Olds & Milner, 1954) and humans (Heath, 1963) half a century ago, and psychological concepts like motivation are reconceptualized as something closer to their true nature: as monoaminergic selection of corticothalamic and corticostriatal loops.

Right now, you may wind up sitting at a red light for 45 seconds even though no one is passing through the green light in the opposite direction. But you don’t have to do that in a world where traffic flows according to computer communication instead of the systems that have been built with human behavior in mind.

Either way, natural human behavior is removed as a threat to the system. To gain further control, technology will continue to socialize human behavior into the system. |

You are able to see the real threat to our freedom,friend.Great thread,though i am disappointed because of the absence of replies that this thread rightfully deserves to recieve. Because of technology people forget the precious skills their ancestors used to have. As technolgy progress further, people transfer their responsibilities to it and become more and more tamed/useless Technology give authorities too much power.Now they have security cams in every corner,they have drones,they have gps and such...They have mass manipulation tool TV. If technological progress keeps going like that soon tptb will create a technocratic global tyranny that will eredicate every last bits of freedom we still have... |

Thank you friend for your heartfelt reply and enthusiasm...I know I am working from technologies' turf but but zilch vim for freedom??? Our world is pervasively seeped with technology, and the willful blindness to the bleak prospects of continuing technological progress is...ominous. With orderly human behavior there will be no further obstacle to the development of technology. Technology continues to advance... complete control of everything... unitary monolithic organization.... yes, you've heard it before... Human freedom mostly will, or already has vanished. If you find yourself in a full on freedom crisis, I believe it is far far too late. What are we waiting for? |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 26237455 United States 02/14/2013 11:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We give technology its’ powers. We have permitted our own dependence on machines by slowly tolerating it. Would the human race ever be foolish enough to hand over all power to technologies? Society and the problems we face are becoming more and more complex, while technologies are becoming more and more intelligent. Passively, we let technologies make more and more decisions for us, because their intelligence can solve complex problems with better results than our man made decisions. Technology takes the complexity of our problems and makes the necessary decisions for us to keep the system running. At what point are the decisions so complex that human beings are ineffective and powerless to make them intelligently? If an intelligent machine can make a better decision about how to move an elevator cart to get an occupant to the 108th floor faster – why would we not permit it to make this decision? We will tolerate and permit this dependence on technology – as it actually appears to align well with our morals and socialized ideals. More efficient capacity and energy usage! Increased tenant retention and property values! In the beginning, there is some human oversight to the technologies’ decisions, but once it is capable of doing these things better than a human being, the technology might be permitted to make all of its own decisions without human oversight, as we need this technology to keep the system running. Would the human race ever be foolish enough to hand over all power to technologies? Dependence is already the norm. How much of your fate will you leave at the mercy of technology? |
