I have been thinking about the goals of this website.
Are we trying to create a heaven in space? This would seem to me to be a worthy goal, although we as a species have made a pretty miserable job of making any sort of heaven on earth. This seems to be the achievement of certain individuals, some of whom we may have met or read about and probably most of those who have reached this state, keep quiet about it so that others will not disturb their peace.
And the question of immortality. My experiences of immortality, and I have had quite a few, come when I feel I could live forever. These feelings do not have to do with my body or the world I live in. They have more to do with transcending physical reality. which includes all the machinery we have created to help us deal with this reality.
Also when someone excels at any sort of skill whether through gifts or talents or just much practise, I glimpse some kind of immortal realm through their efforts.
Are machines going to help us get to this immortal realm?. I personally doubt it but I do not want to dismiss this possibility. Maybe the Singularity which everyone keeps referring to is going to help us transcend.
Singularity appears to be inevitable and the examination of the combination of man and machine is obviously a major goal of Space Collective. I am curious what the result of the man/ machine hybrid is going to look like. Is it going to be some kind of “Iron Man” or are we going to create a Quantum Creature, a mixture of waves and particles?
I have been reading the posts with much interest but I do not understand many of the words which people use. It feels like a new language is being born out of the man/ machine hybrid and I am like a child learning to speak again. I am still trying to figure out what polytopia means which seems to be a goal of some kind or something to be reached for. Maybe somebody can enlighten me on this.
