Polytopia, how does it operate?
Project: Polytopia
Project: Polytopia
I've been thinking a lot about this polytopia without offering any of the thoughts, so here, for whatever they're worth, are some of them.
Mind work in the old world:
Scenario One:
Each mind walks into a room on two legs, they chose a seat and take out a pad and a pencil. Everytime someone offers an idea it's written down on a white board, meanwhile everyone takes copious notes to themselves. As has been effectively demonstrated in 2+2=5, some people are intimidated by the social implications of a bad or "wrong" ideas, and keep their ideas in their skulls, disconnected from the larger brain pool.
Polytopian mind work:
Scenario Two:
People log in to Polytopia. Everything they say is captured and shows up in a shared data space where an connections are made between all things that have been and will be said. The sum total of their mental work is enhanced by an algorithm that brings together relevant information. The hot spots of thought activity will be evident and visualized in 3D space.
Scenario Three:
You're walking down the road while simultaneously logged into Polytopia and your "second self" pulls all available information about everything in the space into a pool and starts searching for related kernels of thought or opportunities that may lay in wait in other people's minds. The guy in the striped shirt happens to be struggling with the same thing as you, how will we continue to build this Polytopia? You invite him into a mind transmission whereby all immediate thoughts are pooled linked and visualized.
Scenario Four:
You're looking for love. Wait, what kind of love do we look for in the future anyway? What does non-physical love look like? Will we live in a non-monogomous state of constant mind sex? wohoo!
So how does Polytopia enhance our experience of the world?
It potentially bypasses the biological interferances still in operation from a different evolutionary era.
And in so doing, elevates the sharing of intelligence.
It gives the mind space priority, even in physical space.
Or perhaps it just serves to more effectively bring what you are looking for into plain view, like amazon recommendations for every aspect of life.
