Mind Habitat, the quest for a home
Project: , Polytopia
Project: , Polytopia
On and on does the lattice grow, information flows, and our minds converge, into a single, fiercely independent, decidedly autonomous, highly intelligent, and self-propelling emergent metaverse, the infoverse.
The infoverse is where we will live. And we need a home. A mutually supportive habitat of sorts; A mind habitat, an infotat for our minds, for we are infonauts.
A new, wide eyed and freshly minted vision surfaces, as a specie we are just now in the process of being reborn. Insights abound, awareness rebounds, and shackles are being untangled, we might, if all goes well, be free.
Free of our genetic heritage and free of our biological roots, free to soar into a promisingly magnificent future, the future of commingled information, of interweaved sensation, of co-opted dreams.
We are coming of age into a different kind of consciousness, a self-aware info flow of sense perception. An existence, bypassing, and utterly confounding the so-called realism of old.
Realism as a view need give way to the dreamers of the extended now, this same extension of experience that is not linear, not ordered and not confined to the vicissitudes of self. The extension we call the net, the grid, the Infobahn, is more than the sum of its parts, it may perchance lead to an actual organizing principle of reality itself. An organizing principle somewhat akin to an operating system, yet directed, and multidimensional, interactive and intelligent; it has started with electronics and will evolve into nanocomputing and will probably merge with biocomputing, eventually seamlessly integrating with our brains. At this point our own minds will become the defining factor of who and what we are; inner and outer reality will coalesce into a greater whole. The infoverse of our closely coupled minds, and for this we need a home, I know I do.
We still do not contain insight consciousness to a degree large enough to allow us to define ourselves via our minds, yet a slight change of perspective will allow us a total inner revolution.
On the same token it may be stated that we are not subject to evolutionary law anymore, we took and increasingly so, are taking, evolution in our own hands, in essence we are becoming evolution.
Yet at the same moment we realize that via the new interconnectivity of all life, our minds are undergoing an emotional revolution, for though the future holds the promise of technological marvels and intellectual attainments beyond our wildest dreams it is the emotional aspect of the future that enhances our present and metamorphoses our past, for our motivations are at base emotional and highly personal.
I stress the emotional aspect of evolution for the simple reason that to design our own future we need to love life beyond mere survivability, we need love the extended now and its myriad possibilities, we need love interconnectivity for its own sake, its unifying essence, for that is where evolution leads.
Evolution in our hands is as much a pursuit of a dream as it is a rational undertaking. It is the combination of technological capability and emotional drive that will present us with the greatest challenge, this challenge we need tackle now by creating for ourselves a habitat of sorts. As I see it, a habitat is an environment that supports an array of organisms, the same array which in turn supports it. Seen from a different perspective a mind habitat is a kind of super-organism in and of itself. Thus, given that we are already within the technological singularity and the infoverse becomes a reality, an extended reality of nowness, by the moment, it stands to reason that a mutually supportive, highly intelligent mind habitat of emotionally challenging, aesthetically pleasing, intuition enhancing, intellectually inspiring, should arise.
Our minds need a home, a vehicle of sense-thought, that might hopefully translate our dreams into a viable and highly accessible reality, for all.
And this morning I think of space collective, at present I wonder if to call it home, my mind habitat, my little corner in the vast infoverse.
