A Polytopia is an organizing principle of reality in an open ended and open sourced manner, allowing for the free exchange and motion, flow and production of ideas, sensations, emotions, creations and so on. The hyperconnectivity situation and the rise of the global brain are introducing us day in and day out into the singularity, yet our minds require a home , a home in which we will live, a Cyberspatial home, an interconnected home, a home where freedom and collaboration reign supreme.
Hear, hear, Wildcat.
The Polytopia is not as simple as a heaven - it will be heaven and hell and all inbetween. The Polytopia is exactly what we bring to it.
I think many on this site aren't as interested in the prediction of what's going to happen, as how could we envision the emergence of the Polytopia, with the information and minds at our disposal.
The body is machinery for the mind - well the mind is also machinery for........this is still unanswered.
What is happening in the world now is that we're creating a different type of machinery for the mind - lets say, an extension of the body's senses into telematic senses...stretching into the metasphere. We're creating a virtual body for the mind.
For a truly C(_) transcultural event to happen we need bring forth a Polytopia and yes it demands both the effort, the imagination and above all the desire to change the state of affairs into which we are becoming.
This desire also must be successfully transfer in the physical world into PERSONAL ways in which the abilities that hyperconnectivity are carried over and influence how we act towards ourselves and others in the physical world.
In other words, the Polytopia must enable personal action towards the implentation of the body of ethics that its structure defines.
Let us not forget that we are a small, small corner of the metaverse here at SC, and most people on the net are not hearing these ideas, nor listening, nor caring. What to speak of those who don't speak english, do not have a computer, etc. etc. The transcultural event is hitting most without them ever realizing anything's happening. There will be groups of people lagging behind. Effort must go into enabling as many people to use it to their advantage no matter what physical conditions they are under.
The Polytopia is not solely out there in space - there will not be any defined boundary between the "metaverse" and the physical world. The link will be multidimensionable and unique from person to person. The two have a very strong bond that I don't think we know everything about yet.
The Polytopia will not fix the problems of the world, but I think what we aspire is to how it can enable us personally to become responsible citoyens du monde and help humanity as a whole problem-solve together.
This dialogue here on SC is here to explore, examine, and map how the Polytopia (its heavens and hells and everything inbetween) will emerge, and define its uses, advantages and disadvantages to bring to it a better understanding and utilization of knowledge we have at our disposal at the present time.
