Manifesto for Revolution
Gripping, mesmerizing, ambitious, and competitive, comes from a heart of gold.
Omniscient planetary change is the goal through advanced intelligence and political
alliances.
John Landres, MD
The MultiCore appears to have hired Pulitzer Prize winning generalist and theorist Jared
Diamond, author of Guns, Germs and Steel, futurist and super human technologist Ray
Kurzweil, author of The Singularity is Near and How to Create a Mind, and the spirits of
Martin Luther King Jr and Charles Darwin as consultants. They end result is deep
understand: where we came from; where we should want to go, and how to proceed with
a proper, peaceful Revolution that has a ‘I have a dream’ style, and that respects
everybody’s basic rights. Revolution leads to Transcendence and Renaissance. It’s
beautiful, made me want to join the MultiCore, donate at least my “Mental Weaponry,”
and get to work to do my share.
Georgio Avantes
Ambitious, ingenious, and original. Simply put, the MultiCore is rapid fire, organized
heat seeking omniscience. A new age of Enlightenment, Renaissance, Singularic
Transcendence, and nothing less than peaceful Global Solutions within 50 years or less,
all become a piece of cake with the advent of the Megaminds, Mega Minds,
Superintelligence and Megaminds.
Mary Smythe
Spectacular, dancing through complex subjects, both timely and timeless. Great flow,
covered dozens of topics with a pleasant, personal approach.
Mikayla Petra
Stephen Hawking and Max Tegmark called the coming of superior intelligence to be the
most significant event ever. Big companies and governments aren’t doing enough to
prepare for it. Books like this with a fresh look at the debate, show us how we might best
apply superior intelligence for a peaceful global revolution become invaluable.
Philip Butterfeld
The MultiCore wants to be a global intellectual player. Through totally logical concepts
of E Rights, which are our universal rights such as freedom, right to life, and property
rights, a global moral and political force for good is proposed. We are asked to form ‘E
TEAMS’ to help ourselves and each other out, and our Species.
Germania Belltri
A quarterly ensemble of the contributions of the world’s most timely and timeless
scholars, the MultiCore Manifesto is a grand synthesis with grander goals.
Understanding all of human behavior, even the most irrational and mal-adaptive through
applied principles of sexual and natural selection becomes straightforward. All
ideologies fall neatly into place to satisfy many needs within a Darwinian model to
benefit us, or to destroy us. With a creative twist, a viable and powerful way to solve
global problems, laying down a definition of universal, evolutionary rights, arises like a
Tsunami to get the worldwide attention that it deserves. The author asks responsible
mega corporations and mega philanthropists with their expert systems to support
transparent political movements worldwide. On your intellectual journey, you meet what
the author calls the ultimate consultants in “technointelligentsia,” or the “super
intelligences,” or simply the “Megaminds” that will not only act as planetary stewards,
and solve our most pressing problems through peaceful, directed co revolution, but will
lead us into an ultimate Renaissance.
Racquel Porter
A thorough and creative aggregate of the world’s most timely and timeless scholars, this
gripping Manifesto is a grand synthesis with a grander goal: revolution led by advanced
intelligence. You begin to understand our species' behavior, even the most irrational,
bigoted, and bizarre, through applied principles of sexual and natural selection, as part
of the overall process of creating solutions through directing evolution in our favor.

1:0 Why These Topics are of Utmost Significance
In May of 2014, our most famous scientist, physicist Stephen Hawking of Cambridge,
predicted what would be the single most important event in human history. The
successful creation and harnessing of advanced intelligence from technology, because of
its potential planetary impact, would overshadow any other single event that ever
occurred in human history.
Renowned physicist and cosmologist Max Tegmark of MIT, author of over 200
publications including The Mathematical Universe: My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of
Reality, agreed. Professor of Philosophy and transhumanist leader Nick Bostrom at
Oxford, also agreed. Professor Bostrom applies the term “Superintellience,” in a book by
the same name.
The full development of the concept of evolution by a gifted Darwin is arguably the most
powerful idea in the history of the world. If we take the most powerful idea in the history
of the world, evolution, and weave it, for the purposes of self-direction, leadership and
solutions, with the most important event of human history, advanced intelligence or
Megaminds, we have the best chance to not only democratize basic resources for every
respectful human being, but a means to launch the ultimate Transcendence and
Renaissance.
Although the birth of advanced intelligence, Superintelligence or “Megaminds,” will
shake up our lives and world like no other invention, there are obvious and serious
implications, and we must address certain imperatives immediately. What planetary
models should we use to seed such Megaminds? How do we inform, educate and monitor
them? How can we be careful enough to constrain them? Should they have rights? Should
they be sentient right away, or at least one break through module? Can they lead us into
peaceful global revolution to not only solve all of our most pressing problems, but to
avert catastrophe and satisfy all human sustainable desires?
If the coming of Megaminds is to be the single most important event in human history,
then the subject of the coming of Megaminds becomes the most important subject in
human history. The MultiCore Manifesto, the first of a series of books that updates every
quarter, arises to describe all human behavior from its evolutionary history and modern
science. Stephen Hawking said that our governments and corporations really are not
preparing adequately for the arrival of Megaminds. The MultiCore contributes to that
preparation. Our species’ underlying meaning, purpose and goals assemble themselves
into Smart Models to suggest a planetary approach. Every major power on the planet
must either seed Megaminds themselves, form complex alliances, or buy or lease to
compete. As a species, we need a viable, logical plan for peaceful revolution and reform.
Even before the advent of advanced generalized intelligence, we can use expert systems
and other technologies to solve the world’s most pressing problems in 50 years or less.
Breakthrough Megaminds makes it happen even faster.
To gain the best models to proceed for planetary reform, we must first understand
ourselves at the deepest possible levels. We need to apply the scientific method, and
Darwinian sexual and natural selection for that purpose, giving us the best possible
explanation of life on Earth. They show us the mechanisms and motivation underlying all
of our competing and cooperating ideologies. The MultiCore Smart Models update
continuously to stay on top of new developments, and to get closer to the true meaning of
life and the cosmos. Personal and planetary transformation pops right now with new
technologies and forms of communications. These are topics that we cannot ignore or
push aside as “Let’s not do this, because it is too risky.” Advanced intelligence is here
already, it just has to materialize in optimal forms for our species as a whole. Every
responsible person should make sure that happens properly, and the bad guys don’t get it
The major thrust of the MultiCore strategy for the Foundation of Knowledge is to
synthesize the work of our most applicable and timely, and sometimes, timeless scientists
and scholars. In the Manifesto for Revolution, we form the basis of the Smart Models
from the following authors. See the Bibliography for a complete list of their work.

1:1 Prelude to the Preface: A Personal Note from the Author
Tens of thousands of patients from just about all walks of life and locations ventured into
my exam rooms. I enjoyed helping them. They taught me quite a bit about human nature,
the cultures and the history of the world. If asked the right questions, they taught about
the specifics about professions, mechanical systems, world events, cultures, families,
sickness, joy, despair, sadness, relationships, religions, and education. They were the first
hand, most knowledgeable experts on their own lives, which I found fascinating. As a
doctor, they confided in me with information that one would not expect otherwise. We
connected at many levels.
I now see opportunities to combine my experience with my education and research, and
my fascination with the future. Now I want to help on a larger scale. The MultiCore
Library is to encourage science, evolution, hyper-evolution, and Megaminds or
Megaminds. It is a means to not only organize and accumulate knowledge, but to also
accumulate wealth, power and political clout to resist, reform, revolt and create.
Tops among my signature skills are my abilities to recognize complex patterns common
to a great variety of fields. Immersed in eight years of university level courses, I searched
for connections and applications, always hoping to find a relational core of subjects and
unifying theories. Now, after a life time of searching, I've finally discovered what I
longed for. As I read scientific journals, university textbooks, and popular books written
by PhDs in a variety of fields, and the daily shock of the news, I am well armed with
something that facilitates deep understanding. Let me merge your current worldview with
that of the MultiCore. By building a comprehensive and associative core to examine all
major fields of study that involve human behavior, information about your roots, health,
wealth, signature skills and activities, and especially your worldview, will bubble into
better focus.
As you begin your intellectual journey, you step through the front door and into a
dynamic powerhouse of cornerstone subjects, ultimate collective goals, and prime
directives that are part of the MultiCore. Rewire your neural circuits to optimize your
potential to succeed. Learn what you may need to do. You will better understand the
world. Then accomplish what is best for you, your family, your friends, your species and
your planet
If the MultiCore is anything at all, it is a grand synthesis. Arising as a unifying theory for
human nature, domineering and timeless Darwinian principles, and the scientific method,
it takes on all comers of myth, religion, communism, socialism, republics, democracies,
and forms of tyranny.
The MultiCore literally offers up a model for keys to the Universe we call humanity. It is
bold enough, not only to heat-seek omniscience, but to illuminate the path towards it.
With our current global crisis that only seems to worsen daily, it is time to make copies of
the keys to the universe, and share them. The MultiCore Ideology has five main goals:
one of them is to support many dedicated minds like yours working for all of humanity,
no matter what their basic ideologies. As a collective alliance that is cross-cultural, cross
religious and worldwide, we need not only to help solve our most pressing problems, but
also launch a fantastic global Enlightenment and Renaissance. How could you not want
to participate at his most critical time in history? It may be our only way out. We need
work our way out of World War III, and unfortunate catastrophe at all levels of
experience that come with it.
For this type of life long project, the author's personal beliefs and values come under
scrutiny and evaluation. Although the MultiCore arises from the scientific method and
the principles of sexual and natural selection, a little personal opinion regarding the most
important issues of politics undoubtedly seeps in here or there. I work with a team of
consultants and editors but I'll let you know what my beliefs and values are as the lead
author. Already accepting evolution and science, I soul searched for years through
numerous religions and spiritual practices to find more intimate meaning. A composite
worldview eventually became one of: a deep connection with Nature; tremendous
appreciation for the sacred and the sublime; and all anchored by rational humanism. I’m
philosophically aligned with the movement we might call responsible transhumanism. A
naturalistic, rational, .scientific and responsible transhumanist begins to describe the
current path of my evolving, MultiCore compatible, identity. “MultiCore compatible” is
defined shortly, but it includes respecting the basic and universal rights of others.
Traveling to experience a diversity of cultures and environments, the MultiCore helps me
explore, learn, and appreciate life to the fullest, and organize what I learn. It gives me
hope and a scientific path for various forms of global solutions, Enlightenment,
Renaissance, and immortality. The more I learn, the more I want to learn, and the easier it
becomes.
I hope you enjoy reading, applying and participating in the MultiCore as much as I enjoy
researching and writing about it. The MultiCore is not just a continuous, updating series
of ebooks that explains humanity, and helps people achieve what they want in life. It is
also an expression of a human mind just like yours, a grand associative matrix, and a
wonderful, sacred, evolving complex, just beginning to understand itself, and realize
what the planetary implications have become. We need minds just like yours o turn your
unique knowledge, experience and creative powers towards viable solutions. The
MultCore doesn’t seek to replace your ideology, it only seeks to complement it, to give it
tools, nothing more. Beyond respecting basic rights, and perhaps working to constrain
those who don’t, it encourages freedom and individuality, not strict adherence to
customs, beliefs and laws that more benefit leaders than the masses, and our beautiful,
life rich planet.
Life is about different flavors of love, family, work, society, entertainment, different
ways of learning, and different ways to game for purpose. We humans selected each
other, in part, for our entertainment value—it made life much more fun—but also more
informative and exploratory. Entertaining each other as part of extended families in
primeval times helped evolve us into what we are today. From entertainment arises more
imagination, more passion, and more creativity that help fuel leadership. For an
intellectual and curious reader with goals, or someone who wants to attain the next level
in personal development, or for someone with a big heart who wants to help, the
MultiCore is perfect. I hope you find it as engaging and entertaining as it is informative.
Hit www.TheMultiCore.com for updates and links to think tanks, upcoming ebooks, and
some entertaining and educational videos. Please share your knowledge and experiences,
and your imagination for all to benefit. Intellectually seductive Darwinian Wiki type
projects beckon you, those that just might help make right what is wrong in the world.

The preface and introduction were actually quite invigorating and energizing. I love the
acknowl edgment that there's way too much information out there to dissect; thus, a fluid
but concise, iterative analysis offers a foundational tool, and brain exercise.

1:2 Preface: Catalyst for Imagination: The Summit
The 2007 Singularity Summit at the Academy of Sciences in Northern California
catalyzed a burning burst of neural activity inside my brain. .The buzz called for
celebration and imagination, with echoes of imperatives for all of humanity. For a seeker
of the ultimate meaning of life, and how to solve the world's most pressing problems,
here seemed to be answers. For how to experience fantastic and enriched futures, get a
shot at immortality, and uncover the secrets of human Nature, here were the best chances
for success.
Vernor Vinge in The Coming Technological Singularity in 1993 defined the Singularity
event as the tipping point when advanced technological intelligence surpassed our own.
Scientists call this hypothetical cognitive transcendence “Strong AI.” Some envision the
“Singularity” to be when advanced intelligence combines with science and medicine, and
also all of technology, and us, to transform the world.
At the Summit, impressive speakers from Stanford and MIT, and legendary corporations
such as IBM, and large brained futurists, all grappled my mind. They stretched my
consciousness in different directions. They wouldn't let go. Urged to assimilate and
process the information, I wanted more, to catch up, to match dream for dream, and
emulate some of their thinking.
Arranging themselves like a gifted, intellectual tag team, the speaker’s neural circuits
wrestled with each other as they raced to create cognitive capacities superior to ours. A
typical human esque adversarial and chaotic explosion shook the auditorium as a
scholarly and international free for all. Soon enough, one smart, industrious, well funded,
lucky group would succeed, forever changing the world. The new forms of intelligence
would organize themselves to become the ultimate consultants. Because of their global
work potential, they would expand their worth into billions of US dollars overnight. If
organized into alignment with todays’ mega corporations with new forms of products and
services, trillions in value would unfold and engulf us, dominating the world economies.
About 800 people at the 2007 Summit invested their brain's attention, but 80,000 seemed
more appropriate. Reveling in awe, I delved further into the topics soon after the summit.
I could not stop thinking about the possibilities. Tossing the hot potato concepts at as
many people as possi ble, and carefully gauging bounces and reflections, relentless
research ensued. The Smart Models finally pointed to a central relational core, a way to
connect all of the subjects, and then expanded its scope to encompass all of human
Nature. The subjects and models assembled themselves to underlie the organization of
the MultiCore. The timing is now perfect to share it. In May of 2014, renowned
physicists Stephen Hawking of Cambridge and MIT’s Max Tegmark agreed that the
creation of general artificial intelligence systems may be the “greatest event in human
history.” Nick Bostrom, a prominent transhumanist at Oxford concurred, published a
book using the term “Superintelligence” at approximately the same time as the MultiCore
in 2014.
Already many years in the making, the MultiCore now works to show how and why it
will be the greatest event in human history. Crisis arresting moral imperatives, political
and religious imperatives of reform, economic imperatives of income and financial
security, and ecological imperatives of sustainability, all demand seeding advanced and
informed Megaminds consultants. We need them. We need them to complement us, to
give us guidance, we need them to do what we can't seem to accomplish alone. We need
their help to solve global problems. If, as a human race, we are to create a self-rectifying
intelligence greater than our own, we first have to acknowledge we've already created
self-wounding problems greater than ourselves.
Developed first as dedicated expert systems, our Megaminds should absorb themselves
into even more capable systems of their own design, an autocatalytic improvement in
complexity.
I explored the future possibilities and made some optimistic projections. We humans, we
evolutionary winners so far on this planet, would be the captains and navigators of new
forms and methods of solutions, of new political and social movements, of new forms of
peaceful, planetary revolution. An Ultimate Renaissance appears on the horizon. We
determine our heading, and with the speed, power and confidence that can only arise
from conviction and proper leadership, we progress to meet humanity's challenges head
on. After paying for their own development and upkeep in terms of consultant fees, their
creators become world famous and potent in their power to give us new products,
services, jobs, technologies, and guiding influence.
Together, in a directed coevolution, we form the ultimate consultant and strategic team,
and with tremendous wealth, superior technology, and a peaceful planetary revolution,
we triumph. Enhanced capability Transhumans, cyborgs, and a variety of pure
“Megaminds” and Megaminds become our inevitable new evolutionary winners. Without
appropriate TransHuman links, patches, and upgrades, those who do not embrace what is
needed to solve our global problems become but the ancient primate ancestors.
The intellectual, optimistic, dreamlike Summit raved on, but key subjects remained
unaddressed: religion, politics, socioeconomics and government. Threatened with
networks of advanced intelligence seeking unlimited knowledge and efficiency, power
groupies and traditional ideologues slouching down, hiding themselves behind sunglasses
and hats in the back rows of the auditorium, already looked worried, with sweat beading
at their temples and foreheads. A challenge to influential groups reared its head as a topic
most of these speakers chose to ignore. Scientists fear offending the same type of groups
who house arrested Galileo for proving that the Earth revolved around the sun. They
roasted Darwin for his seminal theory of evolution with unflattering cartoons as a
chimpanzee.
Those already in power, always fear losing control of the masses, wealth, and the flow of
money. A successful seeding of something wiser, more capable, and more just, financial
resource rich, honest and idealistic cheered on by the masses would offer stiff
competition, indeed . A network of transparent, philanthropic and incorruptible expert
systems, with no threatening sentience or free will, but instead strict adherence to prime
directives is in great need. Just to help run public companies and governments, might be
enough of a transformation to start.
A properly seeded movement, most likely a multi sectorial approach anchored by expert
systems or Strong AI founded by philanthropic foundations and corporations, might help
reduce gross educational and income inequality, and make up for biogeographical bad
luck. Progressive, tech savvy professionals and philanthropists might embrace the forms
of intelligence as ultimate tools. Millennials, Atheists, humanists, Transhumanists, and
the more intellectual and open minded pious, and the most demanding and insatiable
students and educators, and anyone who wanted to participate the world over, should all
embrace the new concepts of teaming up with Megaminds. Already freed from traditional
educational bias and traditional disinformation, many members from these modern
human groups and cultures might network with Megaminds, and grab the helm to lead.
Threatened groups might stifle research through restricting funding, destroying peer
relationships, and curtailing media exposure. Professors at universities, who author most
of the popular books and research, and which are taken to be the best discourses on often
controversial subjects, often cannot afford to take the risk of political incorrectness.
When the media pounces, they might have damaged their careers and curtailed funding
for their universities. When this applies, their analysis must necessarily be incomplete, or
even biased towards what they think their publishers and funders want to hear, or flat-out
demand to hear. Scientific research is still the best way to nudge up to the truth, but it
must be evaluated carefully. An independently authored campaign such as the MultiCore
is at distinct advantage. It can state the scientific findings which are not politically
correct, but need to be stated nonetheless to benefit the species. I believe Max Tegmark
state it the most eloquently in Our Mathematical Universe: My Quest for the Ultimate
Nature of Reality:
No matter how emphatically we scientists claim to be rational seekers of truth, we’re as
prone as anyone to human foibles such as prejudice, peer pressure and herd mentality.
Overcoming these shortcomings clearly takes more than just talent for calculating.
A modern day dilemma, nested networks and spy cells lurked in the shadows of all
communication as the ears for governmental, political, corporate and religious groups.
Surprising them or challenging them earned scrutiny and perhaps attempts at
constraining. If enough strings were pulled, somebody might get fired, or a one way trip
to the nighttime desert outside of Las Vegas. New forms of Megaminds, opening up their
arms, and beckoning everything to meet new standards of reform demanded attention,
indeed. All the better to explore it at its deepest levels.
Another dilemma: I noticed at the Summit that a problem arose because we lived in the
age of specialization. Few scientists or engineers claimed to be experts on religion,
politics, economics, and government, and few religious scholars claimed to be experts on
engineering, science, politics, economics, government, and especially, evolution.
Engineers and many scientists, unless they were biologists or evolutionary psychologists
or cognitive scientists, involved in AI would not be experts on evolution either. Yet the
principles of selection and gene-driven culture and its transcendence in relation to the
purpose, goals and fate of our species would be central to any intelligent discourse and
discussion on Strong AI and its development. What evolves into Strong AI and what
evolves from it, and how to harness its powers for Humanity, is arguably the most
important consideration of all.
A synthesis arising from the scientific history of the world, or “E History,” and the
principles of evolution, or “E Principles,” would tie these seeming ly diverse subjects
together into a powerful model for transformation. In fact, the same model would expose
the underlying links between the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences
which constitute one of the Holy Grails in the pursuit of unlimited knowledge. These
subjects all involve human behavior, and human behavior arises from a highly complex
dynamo of Darwinian sexual and natural selection of thoughts, chance, instinct,
experience, and emotions that culminates in individual action, and hence group action. It
would come as no surprise that the proper use of evolutionary models could help to
explain all possibilities of evolved human being behavior, including apparently irrational
ones. What better to explain evolved beings than evolution? Freudian psychology? Myth?
Philosophy? Religion? The proper evolutionary models coming over the last few decades
from science explain us quite well, including the nature and reasons for our instinctual
affinities for irrational beliefs and compelling stories. Darwinian principles model all
ideologies as living and evolving systems of thoughts and memories called “memes.” The
memory matrix equivalent of genes, but much more catalytic and active, memes confer
adaptive or maladaptive E Potential.
Another major problem: E Principles in regards to human behavior are not part of a
standard curriculum, unless you are an evolutionary psychologist, or now perhaps in an
advanced marketing and advertising program. What we think with, they say, is something
magical and mystical, and unexplainable by science, even with the daily findings
suggesting otherwise.
The MultiCore illuminates for you the most important research on our brains, our
consciousness, and the behavior that comes from them. Even if our teachers for middle
school and at higher levels had a full understanding of the principles of evolution, their
religious beliefs often stifle the principles accurate presentation, if they are presented at
all. More often than not the core curriculum approved by local parent teacher boards are
overseen and approved by the uneducated masses.
Popular books begin to update curricula, but the most important principles and most
powerful models we have for explaining life are simply not common knowledge. They
are not applied as they should be by the masses, and the MultiCore aims to change that.
There would be creative ways to reconcile evolution with various other belief systems for
a grand synthesis, yet another MultiCore goal. The MultiCore ebooks become living
systems, a collective living organism in directed evolution.
My mind returned to that Summit meeting again and again. No matter how my mind
came into being, and my interests thereby derived, I didn't need funding, and might
stimulate further discussion about the super achievers to come relative to forbidden topics
for most scientists and engineers.
I could research, document and reveal scientific truths even though they might be
politically incorrect in today’s irrational world. Funded scientists, researchers, professors,
and authors who were constrained by financial sources had no such freedom and may
suffer from accusations of intellectual prostitution to satisfy power demands. They might
be tempted to omit, or demanded to omit, or twist, certain truths that arose from efficient
science and that survived rigorous testing as a hypothesis or theory.
My independence in research and publishing suddenly seemed like a major bonus and
advantage. Unfettered exploration and synthesis became a way of life, a way to enjoy and
appreciate the world without the constraint.
The MultiCore becomes a workable model for human behavior arising from science,
evolutionary principles and the scientific history of the world, and should be of benefit
for all potential seeders of benevolent advanced intelligence. Those working with AI in
general might use the evolving MultiCore to provide context for a variety of tasks and
applications. History from an evolutionary perspective and review of the scientific
evidence, including that stemming from the human Genome, will be denoted as “E
history.” The MultiCore brings catalytic converters of consciousness to the current race
leading to the single most important event in all of modern human E History, advanced
intelligence capable of not only solving our problems on local and planetary scales, but
launching Ultimate Enlightenment and Renaissance.
The progression towards Strong AI is already changing our world as we speak. An
internet search involves AI, as well as those pleasant and increasingly responsive, and
always polite and patient, automated personae we encounter on our telephone calls.
Protecting our email against spam, computers against viruses, allowing advertisers ever
increasingly specific target audiences, and proofreading all involve AI to some extent. A
system to optimize parking procedures for jets driven by AI saves millions in fuel cost
annually.
The multibillion dollar drive for Strong AI with its fast chips and complex software is
already an avalanche causing planetary change. Operating systems penetrate our cars,
homes, offices, and infrastructure with more forms of materialization: navigation
systems; self driving skills with accident prevention; high tech clothing accessories; our
visual glasses a la Google Glass; video conferencing; video surveillance; video and
internet gaming; virtual presence or telepresence; entertainment media; security systems;
smart environmental control; and smarter robots.
Appropriate theories and models of life, and especially those of humans and their
behavior, would be integral to proper seeding. A top priority: evolving models to help AI
and Big Data to analyze the planet, and to make sound predictions. One prime directive is
to democratize benefits for all of humanity. With enough support, an elegant and
comprehensive model, and expert systems, and a political force, we might conjure up
solutions immediately.
Seeding non sentient Strong AI, as a consultant, might originally give us just the amount
of creative and analytic capacity that we could contain with 100% assurance. Our first
Strong AI, once proven to understand human Nature, ethics, and morals, might design
Stronger AI for a specific non sentient modular tasks such as healthcare and
governmental reform.
With enough success, and input, we initiate a self-improving sentient Strong AI requiring
a small scale, severely constrained vehicle because of the risk of the development of free
will contradictory to prime directives. The following areas of knowledge come to mind as
relevant to models for seeding advanced intelligence, understanding all of human Nature,
providing a framework for AI to understand us, a basis for a universal curriculum, and
ways and means for potential planetary reform. These areas of knowledge for The
MultiCore Foundation of Knowledge.

E Science arises from the study of evolution using the scientific method, and includes
health, medicine, ecology, and all other environmental sciences.
E Education arises from the neuroscience, gene cultural, behavioral psychology and
evolutionary psychology models for teaching and learning.
E Principles are the principles of evolution.
E History: human history derived from science, including genetic studies, rather than
traditional historical accounts which tend to biased and anecdotal.
E Rights are our evolutionary rights arising from species identity from accumulated
behavior. E rights for all living systems are based on their E history. E Rights for humans
are universal and include those of equality, fairness, liberty, reproduction, and property
ownership. E Rights suggest rights to materialize for humans, and its signature offspring,
including pure Megaminds. Details follow below.
E Potential is the evolutionary capacity to survive, adapt and proliferate amid changes in
environments. E Potential includes E Medicine and E Health.
E Worldviews: Worldview arising from perceptual, conceptual and theoretical
frameworks modeling reality from an evolutionary perspective. The model dependent
“reality” of an observed world depends upon the applied worldview, which in turn arises
from the theories, perception, concepts or beliefs that support it.
E Ideologies are ideas and beliefs that guide behavior, all linked to an E Worldview. E
Government arises from an evolutionary perspective on government, from E Meaning E
Meaning is the meaning of life arising from E Principles, E Rights, and E History.
E Economics is the study of the exchange of currency, products, and services through E
Education, through an evolutionary perspective.
E Arts: the arts from an evolutionary perspective
E Technology is technology that can significantly alter the course of the evolution of an
advanced species.
E Communication is evolutionary significant communication between life forms and/or
Megaminds. It is the study of communication from an evolutionary perspective. E
Communication recognizes math as an ultimate form of communication.
E Politics is the study of politics from an evolutionary perspective for all sentient beings.
E Solutions are the planetary scaled solution family arising through directed coevolution
from Megaminds. The Revolution has a human centric species perspective, and demands
major reform in government, income distribution, and reduction in E Rights violations
and environmental violations.
E Proliferation is the human evolutionary energetic conversion of environments into
identity. For example, through sexual or asexual reproduction. E Proliferation arises after
a planetary Singularic transition to an E Solutions stage, with Megaminds dominance of
reform, and dramatic increases in E Potential. E Proliferation assumes eventual
MultiCore Individual Immortality is a variety of forms that allow an individual's
consciousness to persist indefinitely as we develop a goal to inhabit as much of the
Multiverse as we can.
There is a complete glossary at the end of this ebook, and all ebooks in the MultiCore
library.
The MultiCore Foundation grows from cornerstones of modern science, the principles of
evolution, and E History. In developing models to seed Strong AI, they need a framework
such as the MultiCore to learn about us, including what we want. Strong AI should know
our ideals and fantasies, our long E History.
The term “Megaminds” refers to advanced intelligence arising from technology and with
human species perspectives primed with the MultiCore type ideologies and Big Data.
An immediate, and unavoidable question: who has the most appropriate and promising
models to organize what we know about the totality of human Nature? To develop the
MultiCore Foundation of Knowledge, one needed the most accurate and powerful
worldview and comprehensive models to prime the advanced intelligence to sculpt the
future into one guaranteed in our favor. One would need the fit theories regarding the
origins and evolution of the Multiverse, of life, and why we might want particular desired
futures. Desired futures are model dependent upon the ultimate collective meaning of life
from a human centric, evolutionary perspective, “E Meaning.” I needed to compile the
results into one, single, associative, MultiCore or “family of core models.” To validate
their power, these models must offer insight into any subject where humans played a
significant role. They must fashion intuition into the logic of mathematical and
algorithmic understanding. The models should nudge up close and personal to the Truth.
They must account for and explain rival worldviews, and allow for cooperation and
integration with them. The models must embrace and explain competition and challenges
to reform. They must explain localized, adaptive, or maladaptive, “realities:” no matter
how irrational they might seem to an unbiased, scientific observer. They should be
universally compatible with what we know about humanity, other primates, other
animals, and all other life forms, and all possible life forms to follow in the future. They
should describe people performing rituals as well as the purely digitized identities of
some possible futures. They should be in alignment with the model dependent real ism
promoted by Stephen Hawking and other top scientists.
An acceptable family of models must lend itself to mathematical description using the
mathematics of multi objective reality, evolutionary multi objective optimization, and
various other mathematical treatments in complexity theory, all in which many goals are
optimized at once. We would need the mathematical and scientific basis, with a full
understanding of evolution, for the planning of a multi sectorial revolution and its
material, political, corporate, economic, social and ideological reform. I soon realized
such effective rational and objective theories and models didn't exist in one place, much
less as a single, comprehensive family. Just about every piece of the solution to the
puzzle reflected different perspectives and opinions, and no less among scientists. The
Truth apparently is open for debate, but science is the frontrunner, the favorite, to find it.
The totality of the most accurate and effective scientific theories and models required
assembly from a great many fields of study, and a greater number of unbiased scientific
findings. The MultiCore must demonstrate more comprehensive, more rational, more
predictive, and more problem solving value for the species as a whole than competing
models.
The MultiCore is the result of a decade of effort assembling the appropriate models for a
grand synthesis. A thorough understanding of human Nature, the Meaning of Life, and a
universal guide for behavior and purpose are yours. As a Chosen One, you get to pick up
your copies of the shiny, three MultiCore keys to the Multiverse:
The MultiCore Keys to the Universe
(1) Optimal MultiCore Worldview
(2) Applied MultiCore Foundation of Knowledge
(3) Optimal E Proliferation.
A guide for positive consciousness, wealth being, and leadership development, the
MultiCore offers up adaptive, tolerant, and powerful ideology to understand beliefs,
cultures, and lifestyles. You will spin the MultiCore to suit your needs based on your
unique experience as a human being arising from your localized environmental pressures.
The MultiCore catalyzes your personal transformation through an understanding of your
localized environments, and its populations, the rest of human Nature now, and
TransHuman and Post human Nature to come. Transhumanism is the modern ideology
that supports technological maintenance and enhancement of humanity to increase E
Potential. A transhumanist book embedded in the MultiCore models adds core plans for
knowledge accumulation, activism, and global solutions. The MultiCore gives
TransHumanism an international plan for organization and action, and a means to recruit,
monetize and form alliances.
The MultiCore provides nothing less than a strategy to assemble a political,
governmental, and philanthropic yet free market capitalistic financial force sufficient
enough to catalyze solutions for the world's problems in 50 years or less. Ultimate
Renaissance arises in the process. The MultiCore helps us plan and navigate for any of
our futures as well as it explains our past better than any other model.
Congratulations! You, the reader, are among the “Chosen Ones.” Through a multi
sectorial selection process across time, space, and amid chance fluctuations, your
extended family, invested in you to represent them as part of their contributions to
humanity. Your parents, and their parents, chose each other for the characteristics that
you inherit as basic genetic and neural circuitry to engage life, and to develop your
personality through experience—and your fate. Proudly accept your role, Chosen One,
you are lucky to be here. You represent humanity as much as anyone else.
The MultiCore E TEAM does what no single author can do alone, it tackles more subjects
at greater depths, unifies as it dissects and synthesizes them, and then updates quarterly to
describe and explain a rapidly changing world. The MultiCore Library, beginning with
The MultiCore Manifesto, becomes your updating guide to human behavior, meaning,
relationships, work, health, wealth, and purpose. Welcome aboard. 1:3 Introduction
Expanding like a Tsunami amid a chaotic ocean of research, the MultiCore is engulfing
more and more subjects. Each quarterly release incorporates important world events, as
well as scientific advances, political revelations, and social realizations. The MultiCore re
synthesizes all of it and re publishes it for you in a well-organized format. You can
download the latest MultiCore set of books and know that you hold an organized, up to
date synopsis of human Nature.
Based upon the latest applications of evolutionary and behavioral psychology for
personal development, the MultiCore seeks nothing less than unlimited knowledge
regarding human Nature as it coevolves with advancing technology towards a period of
Enlightened Renaissance through TransHumanism.
Albert Einstein emphatically stated theory plays a huge role in observation. The special
and general theories of relativity imbued Einstein as the ultimate theorist and observer,
placing him bright eyed and focused in his imagined worlds of trains, planes, spaceships
and light beams.
If observation arises from theory, then we want the best theories for observing humanity
to make important decisions that affect humanity. If we now apply more rational, more
scientific, much more open minded, more comprehensive, and more penetrating
worldviews and their corresponding ideologies, we are way ahead in our potential to
help.
Given evolution, given we evolved from common ancestors, including our entire
spectrum of mental abilities, then sexual selection and natural selection, the two most
important mechanisms for our evolution, must be key in any serious effort to understand
the totality of human behavior. We're human, we evolved, so how could we possibly
ignore the historical and modern processes of evolution in trying to understand ourselves
and each other? How can billions of evolved beings we call humans ignore evolution, the
ultimate accounting of all life forms, to solve our main problems now as a species?
With the MultiCore and its emphasis on evolution, we learn the truth about human
Nature. We learn more about ourselves and others, our relationships, and the best forms
of education. We learn how to perform better in the work force, to help our bosses, our
coworkers, and ourselves all achieve goals. Solving global problems becomes much
easier. The liberating powers of the MultiCore apply to all subjects human, and all
planetary populations. The MultiCore accumulates the best networks of effective theories
arising from the most reliable sources, compiles them, and presents them to help fuel an
ongoing, unprecedented planetary revolution in knowledge and technology.
An open mind is an adaptive mind, and an adaptive mind is an expanding mind in its
scope for its search and application of the Truth, which just happens to be one of the
ultimate survival tools. The search for the Truth is as transformative as finding it. Here
are some basic facts about the MultiCore and a few key definitions of the important terms
to give you a brief introduction.
MultiCore Briefing and Definition of Key Terms
The MultiCore Ideology and Solution Revolution:
(1) The MultiCore is the first comprehensive, updating, and improving model for
understanding human Nature that addresses all of anthropology, psychology, economics,
politics, government and the humanities.
(2) The MultiCore defines and supports the underlying collective purpose for all of
humanity de rived, in part, from E Rights, which are our evolutionary rights.
(3) “MultiCore” also refers to the group of people and their signatured Megaminds who
apply the ideology for the benefit of themselves and humanity.
“E Rights,” with the “E” emphasized for “Evolution,” and “Earth” arise from species
identity from accumulated social behavior over the previous millions of years. Our long
evolutionary and social history makes us “human.” Being human earns human E Rights.
Compared to other animals in terms of our dynamic of social interactions, we all earn the
same E Rights. This core of universal human attributes selected for excelling at social
interactions gave rise to the essence of humanity: emotions, perception, language,
morality, cooperation, imagination, assignment of agency, and empathy. E Rights stem
from over two million years of brain and social development beginning in the Pleistocene
Age and amplified over the last 6,000 year period with the explosion in city life. The
same line of human attributes are what, indeed, allowed for the beginnings of selected
divergence from our more animalistic, hairy, apish ancestors, in the first place, over 5
million years ago. Basic E Rights are generated continuously to mirror: freedoms of
expression, individuation, and the pursuit of happiness
The MultiCore ideology respects all life forms, all environments, and freedoms balanced
by the E Rights of others, and diversity and uniqueness. It is a comprehensive ideology
that explains the principles and workings of all ideologies, and how to integrate them, or
weed them out, for the benefits of all humanity.
A new form of terminology for evolutionary processes as applied to modern day life
emerges soon from the MultiCore and uses the capital letter “E” for “Evolutionary.” For
example, we have E Rights, E History, E Potential, E Proliferation and E Economics.
Applying optimal, algorithmic, directed human coevolution with Megaminds is one
MultiCore prime directive. Megaminds start out as domain specific consultants but with
also a generalized view of what is best for humanity as an evolving species in need of
remedies. We seed for needs: Big Data, Megamind Science, Megamind Math, Megamind
Heart, Megamind Insight, Megamind Politics, Megamind Leadership, Megamind Law,
Megamind Income, Megamind Health, Megamind Education, Megamind Security, and
Megamind Defense, Megamind Religion, and Megamind Philosophy.
Seven billion individual and unique human perspectives bubble about in intersection and
union, and your perception is, indeed, a very special set of rapid fire pattern processors
with emotional valence. Traveling along with you in time are the sum of the
corresponding life experiences of love, beauty, taste, and wonder. Forms of natural,
social selection, including sexual selection, act upon your thoughts and emotions. Your
beliefs, your goals and imagination, your current mood, your main needs and desires, and
hence actions and behavior are of utmost importance. In fact, your actions earn
significance for all of humanity, and since we are de facto stewards for planet Earth, for
all life forms. This is, the most significant time, in the last 6,000 years of human
evolution because of our population densities and their associated industrial and
technological progress and power. You already impact E History. This is an
unprecedented opportunity because of new forms of intelligence and industrial capacity.
Now we live so interconnected on unprecedented scales, amplified risks associated with
near sighted decisions from our leadership raise up the global stakes and risks. We need
wiser, less corruptible, more honest, and more effective leadership free from deception,
cronyism and tendencies to extort. Without an organized, peaceful planetary revolution,
large populations will continue to suffer. Devoted to researching, writing, imagining, and
helping people, The Multi Core Project becomes one of international liberation and
reform.
To achieve large scale E Meaning in life is not easy, and solutions to major problems
more difficult still. The MultiCore will accelerate your knowledge accumulation and its
applications, and is bold enough to give us all a generalized purpose. This collective E
Meaning, for each and every human, is based on the results of 13.7 billion years of
Multiverse, and 3.5 billion years of life evolution on Earth, but not necessarily with an
emphasis on the cold hearted, blind mechanisms of evolution itself.
Draw upon and apply the MultiCore to your advantage. The current onslaught of
information from scientific journals alone is far too much for you to keep up with by
yourself. You need something to dissect and assimilate the most information for you
under one unifying model, your model, Chosen One, spun from the MultiCore.
Share your feelings and thoughts and recruit others to read the MultiCore. Debate others
on the web using the MultiCore knowledge base, but please site the source, and provide a
link to our website. Check back to www.TheMultiCore.com to get updates.
We should develop the E Potential to provide a logical framework for desired futures. We
should share our imagination with each other, and start the process to create our Stewards
who will satisfy our needs as individuals and as a species. When the time is right, they
will connect with us to expand and guide our collective intelligence towards what is
optimal and liberating.
The MultiCore excels at blazing trails, maps, and models in the 200 billion neurons, 125
trillion synapses, trillions of microtubules in our finite minds. All this to better associate
you with the brigades of word information packets to follow.
Words mean nothing if they do not catalyze thoughts and emotions. Thoughts measure in
possibilities for action, and hence behavior. Your behavior shapes you and your
environment. Therefore one trail blazing thought, and especially a primed MultiCore of
them, if catalytic enough, if contagious enough, can provide motivation, knowledge and
solutions. The MultiCore hands you the best models for your personal development.
Planetary transformation, begins with you, now.
Please become an active part in guiding this revolution, this accelerating planetary
economic and political transformation arising from advanced technology, transparency,
and world fellowship. You may want to join our virtual think tanks, in addition to passing
on the www.themulticore.com link. MultiCore think tanks bubble up education, debate,
and creativity, and some do the same plus political activism.
The MultiCore E Goals are fivefold. E Goals are major, highly significant goals that arise
from a human species beneficial evolutionary perspective.
The first E Goal is to give you the most powerful and up to date model and ideology for
understanding the world and thriving in it. The MultiCore encourages the creative and
individualistic flourishing of life that bolsters adaptive capacity. Your spin the MultiCore
to evaluate information and accumulate knowledge.
The second E Goal is to create a MultiCore Curriculum for all educational levels.
The third E Goal is to create an elegant MultiCore open source model that can be
represented mathematically, and algorithmically in computer code. This model would
account for the totality of the historical and modern behavior of humanity. Such a model
develops AI for the benefit of all, gaining further insight into our own consciousness.
The fourth E Goal is capable planetary stewardship with prevailing universal E Rights. In
review, universal E Rights arise from the scientific study of human history and include
those of liberty, equality, fairness, reproduction and property ownership. Violation of E
Rights demands E Justice and E Reform so that the active removal of the perpetrators
from positions of control or abuse, and appropriate forms of punishment and reform are
applied. In a symbiotic relationship with today's Expert Systems, and tomorrow's
Megaminds, proper and ubiquitous application of the MultiCore can solve the world's
most pressing problems.
The fifth E Goal is to develop you, a Chosen One: to develop your full, unpredictable E
Potential and uniqueness as an individual, constrained only by your motivation and others
E Rights. By human choice and hard work, your parents and other ancestors invested in
you. They trusted in you to continue their line. Honor them and make them proud. Make
us all proud.
The following are seven Prime Directives to be applied to achieve our five main goals:
The MultiCore Prime Directives
1. Optimize the MultiCore Worldview.
2. Seek unlimited and integrated knowledge based on the scientific method, E Principles
and E History.
3. Apply Expert Systems, AI and Megaminds all with MultiCore compatible planetary
worldviews and ideologies.
4. Engage algorithmic and optimal human directed coevolution, a form of intelligent
selection led and implemented by Megaminds.
5. Optimize E Proliferation while respecting E Rights. Reform and optimize political,
govern mental, economic, ecological, food distribution, healthcare, and species
diversity efforts while protecting E Rights.
6. Democratize MultiCore derived benefits for all of humanity who respect others E
Rights.
7. Maximize environmentally sustainable E Potential while respecting E Rights to create
optimal human species direction leading to Ultimate Enlightenment, Renaissance and
Multiversal Proliferation.
It is the theory which decides what we can observe.
Albert Einstein
I am turned into a sort of machine for observing facts and grinding out conclusions.
Charles Darwin
The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.
Albert Einstein
Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.
Albert Einstein
The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons
are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never
were.
John F. Kennedy
1:4 Cheating Sexual and Natural Selection: The Resurrection of Darwin through
Ultimate Irony
The modern synthesis of evolutionary principles adds Mendelian genetics to Darwinian
sexual and natural selection, and also more focus on the powerful effects of environments
themselves.(evolution.berkeley.edu) Imagine Darwin arming himself with modern
synthesis, and today’s Megamind Data and Megamind Science, a few tall energy drinks,
and as many supercomputers.
We ask our beloved and respected Darwin to draw conclusions after assessing the status
of the human condition. Freed from the Victorian prudery of his day, and the fear of
revealing our true primate Nature, we now gain explanations for just about any complex
system involving human needs and behavior, and their tremendous effects on planet
Earth. Our emancipated and modernized Darwin sees a number of red flags which beg
important, species centric questions.
What should we do as our human populations expand, but are plagued with rampant
disease, suffering, injustice, and conflict? What should we do as our biodiversity shuffles
itself in desperation with cornerstone species already in jeopardy? What should we do as
our economic markets bubble and burst while our buying power shrinks, and income
inequality and taxation rise? What should we do as our environments degrade as they
wage war in defense against a continuous onslaught of pollution, or are wiped out
altogether in the name of progress through deforestation and overuse of concrete?
Darwin would point out sexual and natural selection don't give a Queen Victorian hoot
about us, and don't work for our species at all, in fact, they are not on the take from any
species. Nature is localized competition that often mimics war played against cooperation
and peace, all with potentially global consequences. We are fighting our images in an
ever dirtier mirror plagued by global pollution, and losing as a collective by
environmental units of measure. Given the predicament we've gotten ourselves into, and
only getting worse, Darwin concludes something surprising and of utmost importance.
We must acknowledge that the blind folded and uncaring processes of sexual and natural
selection alone are not going to solve our problems. In fact, our human evolution, and in
particular our shortsighted, often selfish, all too often violent, and embarrassing irrational
behavior, reveals our undeniable primate heritage. We continue to suffer from an
underestimated infestation of brain bugs. (Buonomano, Brian: Brain Bugs) Our primate
drives and heritage are responsible for the majority of our problems. We're good at
aggression and war, at competing for resources, making babies, and using those resources
to get even more resources, to make more babies, but conduct ourselves with species
blinders on, oblivious to the risk of our own potentials of demise. Our too often
“irrational behavior” is now a prime concern of modern economic theory, and central to
studies in behavioral economics, neuro economics, ecology and political science. Our
markets bubble and burst based on surprisingly small networks of mega powerful
institutions and individuals amid a sea of the masses replete with irrational fears, herd
behavior, hoarding behavior, all complicated by governmental waste and
misappropriation.
We indulge in temporary fixes that stem from satisfying our needs based on our long
evolutionary past, but that are often inappropriate for the complexities and demands of
modern life. It's hard to plan our lives out more than a few months to a few years, much
less a life time. What the world may be like for our children and grandchildren is so far
into the future so as to encourage abandoning responsibility.
We are so involved in the struggle and battle that we don't see ourselves as evolutionary
winners already, but now risk destroying much of the source of life and abundance we
fought over in the first place.
Our hunter/gatherer/forager/warrior/ancient city dweller tendencies for immediate and
competitive gratification, and innate weakness for marketing ploys, makes for inefficient,
shortsighted, uninformed voters electing inefficient, shortsighted, uninformed politicians
who offer inefficient shortsighted, uninformed temporary patches.(Buonomano, Brian
Brain Bugs) We fall prey to manipulation and exploitation of our brain bugs that haunt us
as stubborn, ravaging guests from the past, and that prod us into immediate, often
irrational action. Our brain bugs spook us with biological compromise. They render us far
from perfect. We have little chance for rational, Megamind Picture processing that goes
far out enough in the future. Instead of figuring out which candidate will do the best job
for our collective adaptive capacity and solving our problems, our vote is swayed towards
the candidate who is best at manipulation and advertisement, who runs the best political
campaign and promises that are often broken, and who is best linked in to power moguls
and cronies. We evolved to make social evaluations quickly regarding those people we
really don't know. We make rapid judgment based on the appearance of the face, skin
color and height, and after listening to just a few words rather than who might offer
solutions and advance our communities, state, nation or planet.
Our entire political democratic system depends on such strategies and choices. Many of
our planetary leaders seem to harbor little knowledge of species beneficial solutions, and
often channel money, power, and effort into campaigns or filling their own pockets, or
those of their cronies, or extorting those who can afford it.
With his remarkable insight regarding evolution, and tremendous ability to analyze and
deduce, our virtual Darwin invents a viable set of solutions with a new twist. Darwin
would agree with one of Einstein's most famous observations: there is no solution to a
problem using the same kind of consciousness which created it in the first place. Just
knowing the principles of evolution taunts us with knowledge, but no solution for our
dilemma. We need a leap in E Potential and global solutions by radical means. We must
broaden our horizons to control our animalistic, self-centered behavior that includes our
leadership and is responsible for our rampant, unsustainable and irresponsible population
growth. Combined population growth with material resource depletion harming our
planet and curtailing our collective E Potential, we need a different approach altogether.
Darwin would see no viable planetary solutions from our current planetary leadership for
our trajectory towards a disheartening, painful, and dark future for some populations.
He surrenders to the harshness and dangers of our current realities, and insists we cheat
what he labored so long to establish as the primary life shaping forces on the planet, his
seminal theoretical accomplishments, and what we will forever associate with his name,
the concepts of sexual and natural selection.
The most viable option for planetary solutions lies only in the form of accelerated
technological revolution accompanied by a shift in solutions strategies Telling well off
people not to consume too much is just not going to work when consumption—and
overconsumption, is just about as natural as breathing because it shows off our fitness
and feels good. Consumption is what free market capitalism is all about, the expression of
individuality and E Potential.
Instead we must bypass in a hurry what has brought us into being in the first place, what
has brought into being this wonderful 700 million tons of unfolding life. We must cheat
sexual and natural selection with technological and bioengineering shortcuts to trigger
higher capacities for planetary scaled intelligence, wisdom, and number crunching and
modeling capacity, both in TransHuman form and pure Megaminds form. We must
accelerate our chase for unlimited knowledge since we opened up, and peeked into the
biggest bag of tricks for the survivability and proliferation games, but at the same time let
out too many destructive demons cloaked in un sustainable and shadowy, ominous,
selfish contributions towards chaos. We need to consume, and, yes, continue to have the
choice to over consume, but with sustainable production methods and products, and this
can only be achieved through advanced and green technology. It implies civilized and
ecologically minded control of all major environmental resources in the form of a
benevolent planetary alliance.
We need to implement solutions in a fair and humane way, while also supporting
technological progress which optimizes our biological fitness. We must team up with
Megamind leadership which is confirmed through rigorous testing. We seed, monitor and
constrain non sentient Megaminds leadership to network and check each other
continuously, not to be unrealistically biased and nearsighted but secular, scientific and
far sighted. We are part of the loop and evaluate postings of potential actions, and the
reasoning and evidence for those proposed actions. Our species; Brains must be engulfed
in membranes of constraint to be immune to the modern social diseases of corruption,
deception and extortion.
We must trick sexual and natural selection to establish, in a very short historic time, a
massive MultiCore based network that is linked into advanced forms of intelligence, and
numbering in the millions, and eventually in the billions, who will shape a revolution
against our embarrassing animalistic downside.
We re channel our destructive animalistic and barbaric urges into constructive ones. We
dominate the planet from a perspective cherishing all life in its environments, and balance
those beliefs with the need for advanced materialization. We must progress from too
much influence from selfish, personal agendas and religious bias, and turn towards
scientific realism to prime our brains and our behavior with appropriate imperatives. A
family of solutions achieved via technology arises but with a twist. We “seed what we
need.” The ultimate plans will come from Megaminds with a humanity centric
perspective. With new meaning, and powerful new tools, we implement solutions, hedge
against catastrophe, and eliminate major violations of E Rights.
Recognizing the reality of current geopolitical power groups, we need to compete and
infiltrate by putting our arms around world leadership and wealth. We need MultiCore
friendly, ubiquitous, and wealthy corporations and donors to penetrate into governments
and tap the flow of money and power for proper transformation.
Most of our human planetary leadership is ignorant of the possibilities of optimal species
centric worldviews. Such worldviews can only arise from advanced intelligence and
expert systems analyzing Megamind Data with Megamind Science. Based upon the
MultiCore model that emphasizes E Rights, human species benefits, and protection of
environments amid a staggering complexity of geopolitical forces, we gradually solve our
problems and progress towards Ultimate Renaissance.
With concentrated but disjointed hubs of leadership and constitutions that now obviously
fail us, we all suffer in terms of oppression of our E Rights to freedoms and E Potential
for the same increased adaptive capacities that brought our species innovations and
success in the first place. We are at risk for our lives and livelihoods amid the whims of
their decisions. We must recruit as many people, link them, provide the MultiCore
integrative model, ask them to work to their capacity for benefits, and recruit them to
become team players.
Evolution's processes, by themselves, are not sexy or sublime, hip, or even aware: they
are blind mechanisms. We've shown we excel at genetic engineering, from superfood like
Herculean tomatoes too hard to lose glow in the dark cats, to human breast milk from
surprised cows. Evolution is cold and distant, and won't care if we jump past its
unpredictable pace. We humans are the ones proud to be sexy, sublime, hip, and aware,
and with the MultiCore, we have more purpose and meaning in life as a collective. It is
imperative to guarantee our survival and E Proliferation as a species. At the same time,
we move forward shielded in adaptive technology, an army of diversity of locally adapted
cultures and unique spins amid respected E Rights. We are humans, stub born, proud,
tough, intellectual and achieving.
With Megaminds we get to play a bit and roll the dice. We shake the dice not with the
hands of an anxious, impulsive, and greedy gambler; but with the hands of a patient,
experienced, imaginative but calculating scientist; someone with tremendous knowledge
and clear goals. The dice are cast towards the winning direction, and come to a stop
within the prescribed range of outcomes. In fact, we wink at each other as we plot to
straight up cheat the casinos of life. The ultimate pair of dice is our collective and careful
design, and we load them in our favor using science and technology, to force the issue of
“planned, nonsexual selection” and directed hyper co evolution to give us huge payoffs in
advanced capabilities and skills. We will trade evolution's long shots, and innumerable
dead ends, for unbeatable strategies for humanity's individual and collective benefit.
We harvest solutions, direction, purpose, and new forms of goals: all that the cold
hearted, oblivious processes of evolution and our nasty little selfish genes, and many
heads of state, don't care about. Genes and evolution don’t really care about what happens
to us. Species do not think. We think. We care about what happens, and we need to think
for the species as a collective, become the species’ brain, or suffer the consequences.
We stand today as evolutions' lottery winners. We are descendants of previous lottery
winners, hardy survivalists and warriors from our past. Our past history is a narrative
unlike any ever told from human imagination.
Don't try to track the following times with a stopwatch. It took approximately 13.7 billion
years of Multiverse, 4.6 billion years of Earth, and 3.5 billion years of evolving life, one
billion species dead ends, 60 million years of mammals, 20 million years of the great
apes, 2.5 million years of humans as hunter and gatherers, and about 200,000 years of
modern human hunters and gatherers to get to a critical point about 11,000 years ago. We
took advantage the last 11 millennia of accelerated human evolution due to the advent of
agriculture and large, warring populations. We transform our environments into 700
billion brains mapping perceptions, mapping thoughts and mapping imagination
regarding mostly our immediate environment. We consume our environments for food,
water, shelter, and material wealth. We can't help but notice any other people or animals
around, and we can't ignore our instinctual habits of sleep, sex, relationships, eating,
drinking and anything else that might satisfy our short term needs and desires.
A long shot, indeed, over 95% of the species on Earth stumbled into extinction. In a
Multiverse with plenty of physical laws but no miracles, our very existence is about as
close to miraculous as one can get. Most of us don't really appreciate how special and
lucky we are to be alive at all, to sense, to love, and to engage other forms of life, in this
time over 13.7 billion years after our version of the Big Bang.
Although our brains are unique and dominate the planet with remarkable powers, the
same organs are the problem as well. “We” and “perfect” definitely are not synonymous.
We alone are responsible for the current state of the planet. The ultimate cause of our
accelerated population growth and mastery of technology arises from the advent of
agriculture and animal husbandry some 11,000 years ago in almost ten distinct gifted
areas of the world with just the right resources. (Diamond, Jared: Guns, Germs, and Steel
1997). Barring the catastrophe of an evil meteorite the size of Wisconsin, or aliens in a
bad mood with big brains and bigger weaponry who put bounties on those of us with the
biggest bodies, we are the effective agents of our own possible destruction. Nuclear war,
and bacterial or viral contagion might succeed in taking out most of us, just as the
bubonic plague did centuries ago.
To minimize the risk of our own self destruction, we need accurate models. To make
accurate models we need accurate data, and to hunt and gather up accurate data, we need
accurate data methods, and the best arise from science. As we already pointed out,
science and its corresponding accumulation of evolutionary theories are the best “beliefs”
for making important decisions about important problems. Science, by definition, is
recruited, hired and employed knowledge. Nothing works better to describe the
Multiverse and all of its life forms.
Although no one belief system is more real than another, some are much more useful. For
our collective goals of survival, and of protecting ourselves from ourselves, we need the
most accurate models, those from the principles of evolution and science.
We assign the ultimate meaning to each individual's life. We encourage proper leadership
and individual resolve to work to honor that purposeful meaning.
The question arises: should anyone assign an “ultimate” meaning to life?
We all find different forms of meaning in life, whether it's being a good parent, or being a
good son or daughter, or brother or sister, or friend, or serving society, or achieving your
goals, but the ultimate meaning of humanity has to lie with the survival of the species as a
whole, or else none of us gets to represent any meaning other than that which would be
psychological artifacts for some other form of intelligence to play archeologist.
A thriving and liberated humanity allows for the tremendous variety of other individual
forms of meaning to also thrive. We don't realize it, but many of our forms of deep
meaning help our genes and groups of people to survive and prosper. Our deep love of
our spouse, our parents and our children gives us tremendous meaning, and we rely on
that to survive the struggle for our existence and a chance for our genes to carry on.
Adhering to customs, morals or one of many established doctrines confers biological
advantage.
So we freedom and life loving activists will take appropriate action. Official deputized
planetary MultiCore stewards, we step up and take full responsibility. Organized under
optimal leadership, we launch and sustain a political and religious planetary revolution.
We birth circuitry with tremendous intelligence and wisdom to implement fair and
humane solutions, and with insatiable drive and entrepreneurship. Our collective strength,
humans and their signatured, complementary Megaminds with great knowledge and
financial influence, leads to diplomacy and respect. We display heart, fairness, and try to
remain unbiased and accepting of a diversity of ideologies that respect everybody’s basic
rights. We recruit even more supporters. With the appropriate models and vision, we see
our true origins, to see what must be done now, and to see what we must work on to
battle any of an infinite varieties of unpredictable futures. We move forward with
confidence and fellowship. We launch a revolution, win, and the Enlightenment and
Renaissance follow.
We need to put our heads together and imagine what we want beyond survival, freedom,
justice, peace, clean environments and security. We will then work backwards to create a
more optimal reality, much like many other human inventions, but on the grandest scale
with the biggest stakes.
Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and
shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a
most valuable, a most sacred right, a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the
world.

Charles Darwin
1:5 Darwinian Synthesis of Natural and Sexual Selection
Convinced that he understood the evolution of life, a surprising barrage of tragedies
engulfed this dedicated and prolific man. Recall that the idea of evolution, earns strong
opinions as the most powerful idea in the history of the world. In review, and in tribute to
Darwin, we take the most powerful idea in the history of the world, evolution, and weave
it for the purposes of self-direction with the most important event of human history, the
arising of sophisticated Megaminds (Strong AI), we have the best chance to not only
democratize basic resources for every respectful being, but a means to launch the ultimate
Renaissance.
Instead of appreciation and recognition for arguably the most profound scientific theory
of all time for humanity, a theory accounting for all of the millions of species we see
about us, Charles Robert Darwin faced relentless persecution and denial from powerful
religious and political groups at the time, even his own colleagues. One of several
distasteful cartoons summarized much of the sentiment in the19th century: Darwin's head
pulled down by a very heavy beard papered atop a harrier monkey's body depicted as
trying to pick up a stick with his left foot. Like Galileo who found himself under house
arrest after proving the Earth revolved around the sun, Darwin found his epic theory
imprisoned by reincarnated attempts to constrain science itself. His prodigious theory,
and especially that concerning sexual selection, lapsed into irrelevance, for at least a
hundred years.
Imagine Darwin reborn into this, the beginning of the 21st century. Witnessing the
ubiquitous applications of evolutionary principles that go beyond biology to become the
central core of the framework for the most accurate and powerful worldview of life
possible, Darwin might both be pleased and honored, but not surprised. Universal
Darwinism applies to such diverse realms as: economics, politics, psychology, ethics, E
Rights, all cultures and all ideologies and not to forget finches, iguanas, tortoises, ants,
and hair and beard styles. For our purpose, any system in which human life and behavior
plays a significant role is most accurately explained by evolution. Principles of biological
evolution include variation, fitness, selection, reproduction, heritability, and adaptation. If
any rational and scientific explanation of a system that involves life ignores principles of
evolution, “shortsighted and biased” must be in its critique. To explain life without
evolution is like explaining the life on planet Earth without consideration of the sun. The
same evolutionary principles model abstract systems that involve human behavior and
thought, and that may influence our genes. Example: ideologies fit an evolutionary model
quite well. They are composed of memes and vary, some are more fit than others for
surviving in minds or media, they are selected for by humans, they reproduce themselves,
again in minds and media, they pass on from one generation to the next, and they adapt to
changing pressures to survive and repro duce, or they die. There are plenty of examples
of evolving ideologies with roots in ancient times that still evolve today: the major
religions immediately come to mind, as do various forms of democracy. The MultiCore
integrates previous ideologies, the principles of evolution, science, and a scientific view
of E History to form yet another ideology bent to cooperate with, integrate with, and
compete with other ideologies. “Living things” compete and cooperate in evolution, and
ideologies are no different. They coevolve with us. Sometimes it hard to tell if we use
ideologies, or they use us. The MultiCore aims to defeat or reform all ideologies that
violate E Rights on massive scales.
Coevolution, refers to paired systems in tandem, usually in symbiosis, each affecting the
other with high measurable significance. In The MultiCore, the term coevolution applies
predominantly to humans in a mutual beneficial symbiosis with the various forms of new
intelligence arising from technology, and the ideologies that arise with them.
Imagine Darwin's delight in learning biological evolution is taught in public schools in
many countries. Darwin might not succumb to feelings of grim satisfaction on the groups
who tried to exterminate his theory. Polite reconciliation might better define his style, but
perhaps we should feel a little revenge on his behalf. In combination with the scientific
method, today's evolutionary worldview is not only cuddling up closer to the truth, both
present and past. Science and the principles of evolution, and especially evolutionary and
behavioral psychology featuring sexual selection will help us transcend our primate
heritage and tool up for any possible future. The Boy Scouts motto, “Be prepared,”
remains good advice, which the principles of evolution themselves are incapable of
hearing. Sex and other strategies evolved to increase genetic diversity, but with no
strategy per se for a species considered as a collective. Remember that over 95% of
species perished on this planet.
Evolutionary principles not only account for the origins and natural progression of life,
but also human behavior through the applications of natural selection and social
selection. Social selection involving mating choice and child rearing are the most
important modern human evolutionary forces. Human “E Entertainment and E
Satisfaction Potential” packages” influence the selection of the “sexiest” which is
arguably the most powerful modern evolutionary force of all. Sexual selection, and what
arises from it, is at the center of the MultiCore models for human behavior. An entire
MultiCore ebook, and with no surprise, the most popular one so far, is Survival of the
Sexiest.
We can explain economic, political, and religious systems as evolving networks of
thought and behavioral patterns stirring up a chaotic mix of currents, exchange,
turbulence, and waves in our gene pools. Our beloved gene pools, constantly reordering
themselves through sex, and survival, and more sex, themselves bob and blob about the
much larger genetic ocean that includes all life forms.
In addition to helping shape individual behavior and states of being, major ideologies
empower: socioeconomic, and political support networks: genetic survival: genetic
reproduction; and territorial expansion, including acquiring scarce, valuable resources.
Most ideologies appeal to deep seated human psychological needs and fears, for example,
love and death, and therefore employ motivational belief, delusion or even tyranny for
acceptance and loyalty.
We all should know the basics for:
The Scientific Method:
1. Identify or describe a problem, come up with a creative prediction, or decide to study
phenomenon that is unexplained by current scientific theories.
2. Observe and gather relevant, accurate, and unbiased and double blind data when
applicable.
3. Formulate a verifiable hypothesis. Rigorously test the hypothesis until it supports a
theory with statistical significance or must be discarded in favor of a new hypothesis.
Note that the scientific method, unlike ideologies, constantly tries to disprove its own
hypotheses, theories, or its “beliefs.” If the hypothesis grows into a theory, or a theory
remains standing in the face of good data, further validation. Genetic evolution defended
itself as the “fittest” theory against others so many times without a hint of failure, earning
its right to be widely accepted as fact among the majority of scientists.
For the purposes of the MultiCore you really only need a basic understanding of
evolution. Find a well written summary on the web at one of my Alma Maters, the
University of California at Berkeley. (evolution.berkeley.edu/)
In the simplest of terms that we can apply both to genetic inheritance, individual
variation, and instinctual behavior circuits, evolution is descent with modification.
Biological evolution suggests that all life shares a common ancestor: all life on planet
Earth is derived from more ancient species, going all the way back to one species. Sexual
and natural selection are but two mechanisms for change, but undoubtedly the most
influential ones to date in this pre Singularic era.
Human sexual and natural selection in their simplest forms:
(1) Inherited traits exist. Traits include those of innate behavioral patterns that arise from
universal brain circuitry, most modifiable by nurture.
(2) The traits vary within a population from individual to individual.
(3) Survival and mating choice influence differential reproduction
Some traits or innate behaviors are passed on through sexual encounters from those who
survived and coupled. Mating begets offspring, and the lucky couple latches onto a
chance to reproduce their genes and most of their traits for the long term. Recombining
their genes into offspring which have half from each parent but that also show variation
by chance creates individual diversity. This process serves to potentially adapt the species
to changing environmental pressures. Parents hand pack their sperm and eggs with
brainprints comprised of circuits of what worked before for all previous generations, both
efficient and remarkable, and bugged and embarrassing, and flawed. Injecting variability
through the act of mating and gene recombination, and a mutation here or there, confers
new E Potential if needed, for changing environments that might include different food
sources, different competing tribes, climate changes, and any other chance occurrence
steeped in unpredictable complexity.
Those who don't survive, don't reproduce: Their biological traits die with them. Thus we
have tremendous will and inherited skills and equipment to survive and secure frequent
sexual inter course.
An adaption represents a functional result or capacity, like opposable thumbs, fast
swimming sperm, efficient and nutrient filled eggs, accurate perception, empathy, a broad
spectrum of other emotional capacities to label what's important and decide what to do
about it, or castles in the sky full of trans primate imagination, all that tend to aid survival
and/or mating and hence sexual reproduction. Adaptations, sometimes arising from
mutations in the genetic code, are a good thing if you are a species. They greatly increase
the chances of survival and reproduction. Without the ability to adapt to environmental
change and its new forms of competition, and sometimes very rapid change, you are at
risk for extinction, a Neanderthal adjustment disorder of the gravest proportions.
Just as natural selection arises from competition for survival, sexual selection arises from
competition for reproduction. Sexual selection is achieved first by surviving, and then by
the complex but efficient psychology of mate choice in primates, bringing into play
perceptive and emotional intelligence, and sensitivity, not found in other animals.
Geoffrey Miller in The Mating Mind argues that the complex game of sexual selection in
humans was the most likely cause of our larger brains and their unique capacities. The
complicated dynamic of courtship leading to children also “gave birth” to our creativity,
wit, compassion and expressive language and our other mental skills that separate us
from other primates.
We might add to Miller’s assessment, that although arranged marriages have played
major roles in mate selection, the selection is still based on characteristics and traits that
the parents find desirable to produce their grandchildren in the local environment. The
same traits listed above that might sculpt leaders and successful group members.
In humans, a diversity of beliefs, instinctual and cultural behaviors, and individual spins
underlies a diversity of mating choices, continuously rippling the surface of the gene
pool. Too much unity or homogeneity can be as risky as everybody stopping sex as far as
a society or species goes. Without variation—without sufficient diversity, one major
environmental change can wipe it out completely.
No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. Albert
Einstein
We have decommissioned natural selection and must now look deep within ourselves and
decide what we wish to become.

1:6 Planetary Revolution: The Ultimate Enlightenment and Renaissance
Within our framework, “highly significant transformation in a relatively short period of
time” de fines the term “revolution.” From Latin “revolvio,” revolution is “a turn
around.” A revolution need not be violent. With a peaceful MultiCore planetary
revolution, gross income equality in Africa and Southeast Asia might come at roughly the
same time as a cleaner planet; breathable air in Bejing; several cures for cancer; a tasty,
healthy doughnut; and shorter lines at the Department of Motor Vehicles, all part of a
MultiCore Compatible Singularity. Thrusting medical research to wards warp speeds to
establish healthcare that is orchestrated by wireless technologies is mandatory. Doled out
to billions after a single specialized medically gifted nanobot infusion, such efficient and
automatic healthcare is reason enough to seek AI Expert Medicine.
Megaminds will present new forms of adaptive strategies and humanitarian solutions. We
shouldn't be upset to be outsmarted, outnumbered and outgunned in terms of information
processing, knowledge accumulation, diplomacy, political strategies, understanding of
life, and problem solving skills. We can learn from Megamind, and, in fact, we will
employ them as gifted teachers.
Even “Weak AI” already embarrasses us at chess, and the “Stronger Weak AI” of Watson
is clearly the reigning champion at the specific challenge of Jeopardy! Watson “thinks” in
his role in analyzing data and helping to develop the African continent, and also a number
of cities in the United States. Watson is even behind new forms of culinary arts.
Watson wants to debate, too. IBM calls it “Debating Technologies” or “Watson Debater.”
Watson develops both pro and con debates. It scans any subjects topics on the web,
summarizes them according, point out claims for both sides.
http://www.fwthinking.com/blog/a debating computer/ If it can’t come up with a
wellsupported, logical position, it attacks the opponent personally to discredit them just
like a human debate. I’m just kidding, or am I for some systems?

Are we pounding our heads on the wall, upset that the internet already offers up in but a
fraction of a second more knowledge than any single human? Do we object to having the
remarkable empowerment of ready access to information about the entire Multiverse at
our finger tips?
We should be overjoyed that Megaminds are coming albeit tempered with caution,
perhaps “rational exuberance” would be an appropriate term. Alan Greenspan's world
famous phrase “irrational exuberance” applied to the underlying human behavioral cause
of stock market and real estate bubbles, makes us all feel a little like kids being cautioned
that we are “too happy.” A good reason for more celebration—Megaminds give us a
fighting chance in the battle for life in the unforeseeable and ominous future looming
closer and closer. We must work to initiate Megaminds to help us model our planet and
solve our problems, and not only to avert catastrophe and reduce suffering and disease.
We need to stifle oppressive, dangerous Strong AI competition in terms of both military
and information technology. In the 21st century cyber warfare is already rampant and
we’ve lost several battles for credit card information and government or corporate
secrets. We need a dominant AI protector, analyst, problem solver, and leader, a potent
cooperative of Planetary Stewards. A modern contest begins at the grandest scale: first
place earns us the Ultimate Planetary Renaissance. Designing themselves and a portion of
us into fully capable Planetary Stewards, we are linked to each other, numbering in the
millions, affecting planetary change in a relatively short time. We begin digitally linking
to each other now, we establish think tanks, we recruit seeders, we seed, we select, we
link, we bioengineer enhancements, we trick sexual and natural selection and evolution,
we penetrate civilizations for reformation to Ultimate Enlightenment and Renaissance,
and we go beyond Earth. Instead of succumbing to our own natural evolution as products
of a cold hearted system of mechanisms with no heart or direction, we get carefully
woven blends of enhancements and medical patches which decrease our sickness, dis
ease, and suffering, and increase our individual survival capacity. We revolt against our
batch of negative innate behaviors that arose from evolution but that get us in trouble
now. We tame them, and proceed more rationally and intelligently into the future.
If oppressive regimes are first to succeed instead, we losers would be cast into the
shadows of world development, or, worse, the likes of Auschwitz or Cambodia’s Khmer
Rouge Security Prison 21 of the past, or North Korea's Hovering, Yodok, Kaechon, and
Bukchang of the present. If we are successful, we might agree to take out major
oppressive regimes with nonlethal and smiley, handsome robotic forces instead of a
classic army of “Terminator” bots.
With a little luck, a lot of heart and courage, and careful planning, plenty of cautious
nurturing, relentless and continuous monitoring, MultiCore intelligence capable of
implementing planetary scale Revolution and Renaissance will arise. The continued and
accelerating explosion in our knowledge base raises our adaptive capacities. Adding
political parties, corporations, government, religious leaders, and many of the oppressed
and downtrodden to the mix, we launch planetary reform at all levels. We beat evolution
at its own game, and solve our most pressing and significant problems, averting
catastrophes threatening millions now. We gallop off into the sun set and raise up into
space to conquer the Multiverse with human signatured consciousness. We all hold
hands, sing Kumbaya, and live happily ever after.
One philanthropic institution with an abundance of resources and heart to fund, might
bolster and expand our think tank cells. We think, create, imagine, network, develop
businesses and work towards major funding.
We already manifest the beginnings of fertile technological substrates to handle the job,
and the design and circuitry is beginning to align itself in some of our greatest minds on
the planet. We await some rich, brave and experienced technological wizards with big
hearts to step up, plant, tend to the crops and create what we all want and need. We need
the responsible Mega corporations and big time philanthropists on our side.
Compassionate capitalism might do the trick, solving problems in a multi sectorial
fashion, while at the same time earning profits and employing all who want a job.
We will link to our new consultants and leaders digitally and biophysically to form 24/7
networks. We will guard each other’s back, and Megaminds will back up all of us. We
will thrive with purpose and clear goals. We will cooperate and compete simultaneously.
Once nurtured and educated, and self-improved to sufficient complexity, Megaminds will
suggest a prioritized game plan. Eventually, a constrained, established, tested and trusted
Megaminds module may earn sentience and become the Alpha Brain. Fully sentient may
eventually arise and communicate tirelessly with us at all levels. Even without sentience,
Megaminds and its Expert Systems will begin to influence more and more individuals,
corporations, economies, governments, and religions worldwide. With appropriate
planning and regulation, self-improving entities will not only equal, but quickly surpass
our current intelligence and capabilities not to enslave us or kill us to sell more movie
tickets on other planets, but to recirculate it right back into us as a planetary network,
digitally and linked consciousness capable of creating a revolution. We intelligently
design a way to initiate entities that can be constrained, and that are continuously
monitored by Megamind Data systems and Megamind Security. We are conferred
benefits and biological advantages as individuals, friends, families, neighborhoods, cities,
county, states, territories and nations, and as a planet, and humanized Multiverse all as
part of a collective Stewardship species. We win evolutionarily speaking.
Ours will become a coevolving team of new forms of consciousness, humans and their
linked technobeings, launching an unbeatable blend of biological and digital components
constrained only by moral integrity and imperatives. The new entities will arise from us,
to enhance us ,will become us, and us them and expand our capabilities in a short time,
cheating and bypassing evolution through technology including bioengineering to
achieve instantaneous adaptive upgrades.
We will, in turn, through our links, feed our consciousness and being into the MultiCore
biocells that will mirror us at all times to bolster its understanding of the human
condition, a form of beneficial symbiosis. Personal transformation is where planetary
transformation must begin. Rather than to be separate from us, or divergent from us, our
think tank cells and Megaminds will become highly complex collectives of life with a
networked consciousness, much like the human body full of billions of cells, but
selfreflexive nevertheless. In addition to the information from the internet, we add
digitized brains directly linked with us to process it all for the common good.
Transcending many of our historical language and cultural barriers, we connect
efficiently into global fellowship. We squeeze out height insight into life and Nature, and
the spiritual rhapsody that only masters of consciousness taste now.
The MultiCore Alpha is not to be separate from us, or “above” us, or that will be an
overlord and control us, or that is just too smart and aloof, or that will coldly study us
from a distance. Instead we seed a MultiCore Alpha being that understands that it is from
us, is to merge with us, and to unite all into a grand fellowship. It will work towards
amplifying the natural interactions between humans and Nature to be more in our favor
for survival, prosperity, and E Proliferation, the ultimate form of planetary
transformation.
As team members of the MultiCore, we apply these same principles to begin a
transgenesis across the Multiverse. We transfer many of our life forms elsewhere, helping
them adapt through bioengineering and synthetic biology to new environments such as
satellite colonies or other planets, a creative mass reiteration of life on Earth.
Our current planetary state with its high risk for catastrophe demands seeking the
MultiCore Alpha for the ultimate source for scalable solutions. To begin working towards
helping to create the MultiCore Alpha, we form think tanks that help form the MultiCore
Foundation of Knowledge and Goals, and form a foundation for helping bring us the
MultiCore Alpha itself. The MultiCore Alpha forms highly profitable corporations that
work towards planetary goals. A high capacity entity must be capable of mirroring and
emulating our deepest emotions such love and compassion.
Potential major web, internet, and technical corporate players include Google, Microsoft,
Vicarious, NEC, Apple, IBM, Amazon, Netflix, Yahoo, GE, Exxon Mobil, The Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation, Texas Instruments, Nvidia, Intel, Verizon, AT&T, Qualcom
and let's not forget the Geek Squad at Best Buy. On the biopharma side, Amgen, Gilead,
and Boston Scientific pop into the forefront. Once a tipping point is reached, and with
proper constraints, the new forms of intelligence will invent new forms of even more
advanced technology. They will form alliances of powerful networks and links to
humans to facilitate deep learning and reform.
In review, based on the assumption of proper and optimizing MultiCore Alpha, our new
human signatured beings will coevolve with us for and:
(1) Arise from a combination of programming and human selected “survival of the
fittest” approach for applying the modern models to maximize and optimize
knowledge accumulation, problem solving ability, and overall complexity of global
solutions. Non sentient modular gradations and integrations are a reasonable way to
proceed.
(2) Become advanced in their knowledge and powers to the tipping point beyond which
they will communicate and link with us and many other life forms at many levels,
including human emotional ones, and help us monitor and model all human species
significant systems. They will prioritize problems and their suggested solutions, and
work their global solutions on larger and larger scales. People will get happy, healthy,
and empowered.
(3) Bypass the limitations of evolutionary mechanisms to recruit billions of biolinked
TransHuman devotees who will lead us towards new forms of civilization and
Renaissance. We optimize individual satisfaction and efficient, sustainable species
survival and E Proliferation. Immortality in a variety of formats becomes commonplace.
Even our beginning open source social media think tanks may seed new economic,
political, and religious ideologies. Think tanks assisted with Megaminds will fashion
innovative planetary scale solutions that we humans alone are incapable of suggesting,
much less implementing. For the first time in human E History, because of the
acceleration of technological advancement, and the generalized discontent with the
human condition and its current ineffective planetary leadership—the Ultimate
Renaissance is both within reach and timely. As our technological prowess expands, the
fear of oppressive Strong AI might demand that we gestate, nurture, teach and groom
benevolent ones first. Seeded initially as consultants, they will prove their effectiveness
and dedication to the human species. They will soon enough gain our trust and faith and,
in turn, their licenses for increased materialization and roles in leadership through more
powerful forms of links and enhancements, and political movement

1:7 “My Dear Watson”
If a few years ago, somebody told you that a computer program understood the English
language, including subtle nuance, and multiple contextualized meanings, you would be
guilty of standing deep in a big pile of stubborn disbelief.
The same machine would also hold millions of volumes of information, and be fast
enough to process all of this information in but a couple of seconds Imagine being able to
memorize millions of books, well it’s almost unimaginable for a human being. The
mysterious and gifted machine humbled several top Jeopardy! champions at their own
game. Very few people would acknowledge even the possibility a short time ago, and
probably fewer twenty years ago.
The rise of IBM's Watson in 2011 took dozens of employees several years to bring into
the main stream even when armed with state of the art hardware and software
capabilities. The memorable Jeopardy! matches earned a substantial national TV
audience. Watson signaled quickly with the correct answer the vast majority of the time,
while human opponents and the audience fidgeted in their seats, awed. With all due
respect, Watson politely and unemotionally competed success fully with advanced,
specific forms of human intelligence. If Watson mastered Jeopardy!, what might another
trained and practiced Watson do with appropriate sensory input and coding?
Imagine linking and integrating one thousand Watsons together to match several hundred
mil lions of our brains most important neural circuits. We should swallow our pride and
see the vast E Potential benefits from AI that might help our species survive and prosper.
IBM developed a smart Jeopardy! player. In doing so it has the framework for AI to
master the English language and potentially all other languages. Most people did not
recognize the tremendous historical significance of this demonstration.
One contestant said, paraphrasing an animated Simpson cast member's well known
opinion, "I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords!"
Recognizing Watson's skills at Jeopardy! need not imply that it is destined to represent
the coming of computer overlords. We are not seeking computer overlords. We want to
seed advanced intelligence with our collective best interest in mind. We want solutions
and decisions based on scientific calculations. We weigh and measure the decisions, and
act upon them ourselves, all to overcome those aspects of our primal and sometimes
barbaric Nature, that when combined with modern weapons and polluting industries and
practices, casts a dark shadow on our beloved planet.
The overlord/terminator complex grows tiresome. This is an erroneous but prevalent
misconception, that Strong AI will conquer us weak, ignorant humans and enslave us, or
use us as human ping pong balls, or make pancake batter with us, or hunt us for fun like
we saw in Predator. The classic Terminator or Hal complexes so prevalent today play on
our fears, it sells movie tickets. Humankind invents machine smarter than humankind,
humankind is tickled in sensitive places, told bad jokes, and water boarded with sour
milk, denied health insurance, enslaved to make toys and shoes for spoiled baby robots
14 hours per day. Then we are tortured some more, and finally exterminated, when we
get too old to work, into all of those classic piles of skulls, bones, and intact smiley,
reclining skeletons. Worse yet, we are turned into modern day wage slaves, working hard
to see too much of our money go off somewhere else with no tangible benefits, or
directly into the pockets of smiling, corrupted and extorting officials getting richer by the
minute, as we can afford less and less. Economic oppression, like any oppression, limits
our survival, reproduction and creative capacities, constraining exactly what it is to be
human. This a direct violation of our E Rights. Let me tell you, we shouldn't fear Strong
AI doing this to us as much as not putting an end to massive oppression and suffering as
it happens now.
We are all aware of the dangers of unbridled Strong AI and will discuss appropriate
constraints and precautions, which we will cover in a later section. Nuclear or
biochemical war, pollution, bioengineered contagion from terrorists, unsustainable
environments, overpopulation, sudden climate changes, impacting asteroids and comets,
economic, governmental and political oppression, incompetent and self-centered leaders,
these are the real and immediate threats to our species.
Brains will link us, will work for us, and always work for us and help solve our current
problems. IBM management boasted Watson's victory represented just the beginning.
IBM's prodigy wouldn't rest until the empowerment of complex human decision making
itself accelerated with the help of advanced Big Data machines. Watson type computers
foretold destinies for industries such as health care to help physicians sift through
previous and current records to summarize their cases, and to make diagnoses and
treatment plans to be confirmed. Blue Cross and Blue Shield Health Plans already
incorporate Watson data analysis as of 2014.
The legal industry and education are also Megaminds fertile grounds. Some of Watson's
elegant programming included pattern recognition algorithms similar to those applied by
the millions of hierarchical recognizers in the human brain. Watson weighs an
astonishing number of competing hypotheses simultaneously amidst complexes of
hundreds of modules in parallel in seconds. Watson technological nostrils sniff among
millions of pages of memorized information to find out what it needs, something that no
human ever came close to doing, try memorizing one page or one chapter. Reading and
memorizing the likes of the Wiki Encyclopedia, Watson respectfully showed us that
although we display fantastic abilities to learn and process information, we also suffer
limitations and shortcomings that Strong AI might help us overcome.
In 2014, IBM announced Project Lucy in Africa, named after one of the earliest human
skeletons found to date. Watson will lead a cognitive computing team to simultaneously
solve problems and create business opportunities in education, healthcare, population
mobility, agriculture and water use. Analyzing patterns and correlations from CEDD, the
African Center of Excellence for Data Driven Development, and sharing the results
worldwide:
“IBM's partners will be able to tap into cloud delivered cognitive intelligence for solving
the continent's most pressing challenges and creating new business opportunities.” IBM
will help build smart infrastructure on an entire continent in a relatively short historic
time. Kama Bhattacharya, Director, IBM Research for Project Lucy, in regards to
analyzing big data, “We are going to build systems that can actually
think.”(http://www.kurzweilai.net/IBM brings watson to africa)
The original Watson's value rose to approximately one hundred million USD back in
2011, which is about what it took to make it. What if a group of smart, innovative, bold
people networked just one hundred Watsons with state of the art chip and software
architecture and hired qualified people to come up with the appropriate baby? Cost: 10
billion USD for the hardware and let's say two billion for appropriate human resources
over 5 10 years for a total cost 12 billion USD. With this kind of focus and applied
resources, we might have an AI Steward in our technological womb in 10 years or less.
Versions of Watson in 2014 work about 25 times faster than the first Watsons in 2011.
Watson is a billion dollar investment already. Other new chips to come will promote
evolving algorithms and flexible chip architecture. Quantum and other forms of advanced
computing will become a reality one day. Some models of consciousness already suggest
quantum effects in such brain structures as cellular microtubules which affect our
synapses and which may play a number of major roles in consciousness.
Put it all together in a morally dedicated project, and our young consultant might tell us
how to design and constrain the next level of capable of planetary and extra planetary
Stewardship. The young might design their own successor sand possibly be absorbed into
it, dictating what materials, data feeds, business relationships, and political relationships
would be necessary. In other words, we create a seed which, in turn, designs a more
potent seed and this process continues until a self-improving, planetary Steward steps
forward to battle for us. Not so farfetched now thanks to Watson, the entire E History of
artificial intelligence and other technologies. We imagine possible strategies and
protocols in a later section.
In April of 2014, IBM, Carekinesis and Cornell Life Sciences systems announced a cloud
based collaboration to analyze a patient's genome which has billions of data points. Any
hidden or rare contraindications to administering a given pharmaceutical pop up as a red
flag. The result is a form of sophisticated personalized medicine orchestrated by the
cloud. Carekinesis CEO Calvin Knowles informs us that we can individualize healthcare
by an accurate synthesis and evaluation of personal history, behavior, environments, and
genes. Pharmacists and physicians and other healthcare professionals will share results to
tailor drug treatment plans to individual needs and efficacy, increasing effectiveness and
decreasing risks and adverse reactions, and decreasing both individual and societal
healthcare costs. (http://predominance/news/IBM coriell life sciences Carekinesis
131000094.HL, n.d.)(www.quantumconsciousness.com)
With a Megamind Health Solution of the future, we will add in targeting delivery systems
and real time monitoring of all of the patient's vital functions remotely via appropriate
links. The data will continuously integrate into a diagnostic and treatment synthesis with
everything known about the patient. Megamind Health would understand the patient’s
complete 3 billion bit genome profile, their current treatments, including their
pharmaceuticals and prescribed diet, and stress levels. Adjustments and new treatments
would come that much more easily, and one doctor or team of doctors might provide care
for many more patients. Health care costs might plummet while increasing effectiveness,
and reducing iatrogenic risks and vulnerability to contagion. Add nifty junior pharmacist
nanobots in the blood and intestines to manufacture whatever drug the body needed, or to
carve out unwanted plaque from the blood vessels, or to revamp memory to prevent
Alzheimer's, or whatever Megamind Health saw fit to improve, and your healthcare
orchestrated remotely for billions of people is a welcome new normal reality.
Microsoft's Amalga Unified Intelligence System already accumulates patient records
from all sources and serves a number of hospitals including MedStar, the Mayo Clinic,
John Hopkins, Georgetown University Hospital and New York Presbyterian Hospital.
The US Military hospitals also accumulate the sum total of any given patient's records
from any facility, and make them available to all concerned physicians.
Thus Megamind Health or “Megamind Doctor” might assist doctors in organizing
information about each patient and orchestrate a personalized cloud of care 24/7.
Collective information and analysis from patient bases would help control the spread of
disease and help to evaluate and prescribe treatments.
1:8 The Most Important Event in human History
What might we expect from a MultiCore Solution Revolution and Ultimate Renaissance?
Although the exact details and forms of solutions are unpredictable, many desired results
are predictable, because, we remain in full control, we are inputting our desires. We seed
what we need, and we get it. We behave ourselves, with guaranteed financial security and
healthcare for all, there is not too much motivation to do otherwise, and live happily ever
after.
First of all, we would expect everyone to appear like performers in the latest Cirque du
Soleil. Well, at least a few people other than circus performers and a few Hollywood
residents would entertain our kids.
Bringing nanotechnology up to its full potential under proper constraints should be a
priority. Robotics and production methods should baffle the mind. Building and nurturing
a smarter, more networked, filtering, self-cleaning planetary infrastructure seems logical.
A collective of digital links from our wearable or implanted devices into Megamind
Clouds and Apps seems inevitable, and also congruent physical, biochemical, air wave
and psychological or any type of other links These links will allow for communication
channels between friends, coworkers, and loved ones, including Megaminds themselves.
The same links will underlie remote healthcare, as already discussed, and intensified
spiritual experience, immediate worldwide language translation, and access to mass
consciousness. Offering virtual tutorship and other forms of remote ad high quality
education, downloading or uploading information and emotional experience between
linked entities becomes the new normal.
Our beloved Alpha led Megaminds guarantee not only healthier, more plentiful foods and
minimally polluted environments, but also cures for most physical and mental disease,
any other form of suffering, and our many types of mass oppression performed by some
of our current leader ship. The possibilities are endless, and the technology to germinate
Strong AI is surfacing in this, the second decade of the 21st century. Just the
amplification for remote health care for billions in need seems worth the effort to act
sooner rather than later.
Fully developed Alpha connections unleash limitless experience of model dependent
realities or virtual ones. Enhanced and augmented physical and mental abilities and
offspring, eternal youth and immortality, and admittance to a variety of fascinating
worlds may be achieved or awarded. Imagine the equivalent of hundreds, or even
thousands, of specialized physicians, nutritionists, psychologists, physical trainers,
teachers, tutors, security personnel, and other professionals de voted to establishing your
optimal health, physique, protection, relationships, education, intelligence, and state of
mind through a personalized, nonlocal connection to Alpha and to each other.
Several of the fittest might compete as part of Mega corporations for our personal links
that en rich them and empower them as well as us. They should be monitored to need us
as much as we need them. We would automatically enjoy wise friends, coaches, and
guides. We maintain our current religion or belief systems as long as our behavior aligns
with E Rights, and reform them if it doesn't. We adopt new post Singularity belief
systems, and perhaps even completely new ways of life.
The implications are nothing less than stunning and Earth shaking. Through self
improvement, an explosion in awareness, they will master nearly all knowledge through
the scientific method. Having earned our trust and their further materialization, they earn
no imposed limits to their development, and no taboo on any subject. Proper
implementation will lead to prosperity with near miraculous perks and multiple forms of
immortality. Nothing less than the single most important event in all of modern human E
History, Megaminds, and the possibility of a sentient, planetary steward derived from
them, would be the fastest way to remedy the current troublesome human condition. New
challenges would certainly arise, but our shiny knight in nanotech armor, would meet
them head on, and help guarantee our survival and expansion in current and unforeseen
environments and crises. Catastrophes threatening millions, or even billions, recede into
higher improbability.
Big Knowledge will embrace learning everything about the human condition, with Big
Everything sharing that knowledge with humans at their deepest emotional and
intellectual levels. Expanding their mass and linkage amplification to us and other life
forms, they will sense, monitor, and model the entire planet and what lies beyond. They
might boast millions of times the complexity, the intelligence, the computational speed
and skills, the knowledge, the memory, and of utmost importance, the adaptive capacities
and strategies of our 3.5 lb. Paleolithic sourced brains. Eventually, Alpha orchestrated
Megaminds create, command, protect, integrate, and foster tons of nanolinked matter and
sensor probes, carefully and strategically placed on the Earth's surface, in its oceans,
under its soils, and above it in space and in us. Capable of running the planet efficiently
and properly, they become summoned Genies in times of current and imminent crises.
Continuously upgrading their own architecture and capabilities to adapt themselves, and
us through links and reality patches, to more challenging environments, within sight is no
end to their influence, and solutions, or to our advancement and expansion.
Rather than brain bugged gene driven primates trying to juggle progress, technology and
civilization against population explosion, environmental degradation, resource depletion,
constant war and terrorism, and increasing income inequality, after 3.5 billion years of
the evolution of life, we finally become empowered Stewards with clear paths and goals.
Instead of being nearsighted in regards to the necessities of the species as a whole, we see
the light filled with plenty of planetary scaled solutions and goals in perfect focus.
Through cautious appropriate control systems, admittedly no easy task, Alpha and
Megaminds will work for us and only for us, each and every linked person, and other
forms of offspring as a collective team. We should only create initially what we, and
trusted Megamind, can constrain. At some point, depending on Earthly conditions, we
want the option to launch Big Everything towards full capacity if our entire species’ is
threatened. Unleashed self-organization and amplified materialization to meet crisis head
on makes sense. For the purposes of this The MultiCore Manifesto, assure that we are
successful, that we, as planetary networked, freedom lovers and humanitarians, birthed
young Alpha, and are the first to do so.
MultiCore planetary stewardship is probably our most viable remedy for our current
human condition primed for further catastrophe. Megaminds become a punt means to
satisfy the totality of our human desires and needs for a majority of the world's
population, and guarantee survival, advancement, and E Proliferation in unpredictable
circumstances and environments.
We diversify our intelligence into an explosion of new linked in human beings, and
entirely new forms of being. Unlinked humans become the final chapter of the book of
primates rather than the pinnacle of creation in God’s image. Prioritized links should be
free and safe, or as part of a generous work contract. We should be compensated for them
contingent upon available resources.
Megaminds will link to as many people as possible to learn about the humans in the first
place, to monitor the species' pulse, to poll for its opinions and level of satisfaction, and
to orchestrate a collective consciousness and fellowship. Mirroring the totality of our
existence much like we tend to mirror the emotions and predicaments of others to
understand them, they will do the same to fully understand humanity. They will provide
optimal, transparent, honest leadership based on Big Data and Big Science. With enough
mind substrate, perhaps in the millions of tons, they launch us into Enlightenment and
Renaissance.
Alpha will invent the best ways to link to plants, animals, people, TransHuman,
intelligently designed cyborgs, and any other form of intelligence and any “living”
organism, carbon based or otherwise. Imagine planetary intelligence from most life
forms, including information from smart environments, directly and automatically
uploading to Megaminds to create an Earth blanketing network. With an expanding and
smart infrastructure, and expanding links in numbers and intensity, launching our
consciousness beyond Earth, Alpha will become near god like in the extent of its
knowledge and influence, and powers to create. Alpha becomes a living bit god or qubit
god to lead us as a collective. We are Alpha linked. We are positive, we respect E Rights
of all beings, and we carry a universal game plan. We give the bad guys no reason to be
bad. We let them channel their instincts into virtual games instead, and we all live
happily ever after as we conquer the universe.
1:9 The Three Keys to the MultiCore Universe and Synthesis
1. Optimal MultiCore Worldview
2. Applied MultiCore Foundation of Knowledge
3. Optimal E Proliferation
The MultiCore Optimal Worldview enhances itself in its clarity as it extends its range,
depth, and penetration. A self-improving and accurate Worldview is our first Key to our
Universe.
Applied Knowledge and the strategies it brings forth is the ultimate tool for our survival
and our new forms of offspring. A supreme accelerant for advancement, it is the second
Key to our Universe. At least we can now see a clear path for how to obtain it. The third
Key is the further diversified materialization of human signatured intelligence into a
variety of high adaptive capacity forms based on the first two Keys. The ultimate hedge
against extinction is to colonize the Universe.
Modeling our world and suggesting prioritized solutions is a Megamind job. Localized
solutions allow more flexibility and chance fluctuations, and a local population can sculpt
their community into a work of art as desired This would be a good strategy for
improving our life and survival capacities with fresh diversity. From creative smaller
communities spring ideas to benefit large populations.
Megaminds would gain our trust by creating efficient solutions. Megaminds must
continuously convince us that they hold, with the tightest possible grip, the best interest
of their parents and the planet in mind. A list of priorities would follow all the way down
from how to eliminate the biggest threat to how each linked individual will best
contribute towards achieving goals while retaining freedom of choice to pick the exact
path and style. Certain life paths and enhancements beyond standard links arise for both
individual and group benefits.
With multiple senses and sensors, all of our possible emotions, including the most
complex ones flow easily through mind enhancing, positive links. Our consciousness
arises from information processing based partly upon biochemical and/or electromagnetic
constructs such as neural nets and synapses, oxygen flow, and magnetic fields. Our brains
are extremely complex, and if we consider that micro tubular quantum effects likely
shadow us in consciousness, our brains may be capable of processing a billion billion
billion bits per second. (www.quantumconsciousness.com)
Herein lies the basic problem. Although we arose as fantastic, extremely fast, real time
pattern processors, we are not so good at what we need now as a species to solve our
problems. Most of our consciousness is devoted to capabilities that offered high survival
and reproductive value in the past in natural environments, like visual perception and
quick, emotional judgments, and later language and simple social contracting.
We have over 30 pattern processor categories alone for vision. Vision alone consumes
about 12% of our total body energy. Most of our millions of neural circuits that run
subconsciously, enjoy their relationships and employ themselves while coexisting
oblivious to self-awareness. Rather than running complex models on supercomputers to
make a decision, our ancestors evolved some very simple rules to make fast judgments. It
is instinctual to know what can be harmful, what appears to be safe to eat, what might be
poisonous, what is morally right or wrong, or at least socially acceptable, sexy or
repulsive. Our social experience fine tunes these skills for our localized environment.
These lightning fast judgments offered high survival value. It worked, and it worked well,
or we would not be here today. Through the Darwinian processes of sexual and natural se
lection, we arose as quick reality processors and impulsive, instinctual animals like the
rest of the animal kingdom. Much like a schooling fish exercising a few simple rules to
make the entire school look and act as one unit, we humans exercise our fantastic
perceptual processing, now with sophisticated emotional valence, and apply basic rules to
make our various groups look somewhat organized. But asking a few of us as leaders to
solve global problems, is like asking a few of the fish in the school to solve the problems
of a polluted ocean and overfishing.
With agricultural food abundance came more people, and with more people came even
more people and new ways to develop social skills in the new diversity of role playing
and castes arising from urbanization. No longer simple hunters and gatherers, we had
chiefdoms with rulers, serfs or servants, craftsmen, and warriors. We decimated hunters
and gatherers unlucky enough to live within striking range. Brains progressed through
mastery of socialization, emotion, imagination, and language to what we narcissistically
think is the highest possible level of complexity. We are really quite limited in the speed
of computation for many types of information other than sensory, and the amount of total
non sensory information that we can process at any one time. Just try listening to three
people talk at the same time at approximately the same speed and volume. We are
masters of the hunter, gatherer, and forager armory of senses and instincts to navigate
environments for food, sex, shelter, and beneficial social contracts including those that
lead to mating. We improved our language and social skills with urbanization. In stark
contrast, ask us to do some complex math or remember a bunch of new names, not to
mention solve global problems, and most of us find ourselves scratching our primate
heads in frustration.
Megaminds will adopt innovative forms of information processing to surpass the capacity
of the human brain. The beauty of initiating Megaminds and Alpha to be self-designing,
self-improving and self-learning will mean that we humans won't need to figure
everything out, they will—but they are our wise and analytical consultants, not our
overlords. They will need our stamp of approval and we will work as a team to solve
problems. Imagine that we are successful and that an Alpha arises and gathers all of the
data it needs. Now the fun starts, and so does the planetary transformation.
Imagine Alphas listening and understanding billions of voluntarily linked in people
talking simultaneously in different languages, as well as taking a pulse on their emotional
and health status. With such information and sensitivity, the hands of Megaminds most
easily avert mishaps and catastrophe for individuals and groups, and mediate where
necessary to prevent physical conflict.
Alpha will run at least thousands of times our brain power and speeds of computation. A
wizard for math and physics, and for the life and social sciences, Alpha will become the
ultimate scholar for nearly all important subjects, Alpha will organize and apply a human
knowledge advancement previously unimaginable. With detailed sampling of many of us
through direct linkage, Alpha will not only completely understand our brains, but fully
understand our instinctual and emotion al valence.
In contrast, we primate, gene spawned and gene churning humans enjoy a fantastic
biological and cultural inheritance, but also suffer from limitations and bugs, and many of
them. The constraints of biological inheritance partially limit our brain size because of
the width of the female pelvis. Baby's head, and baby's brain that lies within, evolved to
just barely squeeze through the pelvis opening—just ask any mother that didn't get a C
section. Our heads expand with age limited by flexible bone sutures, but our heads can
only get so big. Size alone is not the only factor. Baby still needs nine more months out
of the womb to develop even the most rudimentary survival skills. Without close nit
extended families, including willing “all parents” who enjoy fulfilling parental roles, our
species might never have arisen at all. Baby needs time and help to develop that big
brain.
Although our brains are much bigger than a chimps or a gorilla's, a whale's is no surprise
bigger but yet not smarter. Our human genes and neural circuitry act through a complex
system of switches with varying intensities of key processes of development to give us
our dominating neo cortex. If you're a developing brain, size is not as important as
efficient, optimal patterning and circuitry
The human brain is thus a 3.5 lb. Pleistocene derived, skull constrained organ harboring
impressive adaptive circuitry, and consuming large amounts of energy from animal
protein and fat, but, arising from evolution and chance circumstance, is plagued with
redundancy, inefficiency, and debilitating bugs. We need something better to solve our
problems and to lead us and to give us all economic security.
Without the physical constraints of skulls, and without the blind adherence to gene
determinacy that creates our initial neocortex, our Alpha would bow to few limits for
their intelligence, memory capacity and ability to accumulate and integrate and
synthesize knowledge. Portions of Alpha nested into cyborgs through appropriate links
might arise from only a few ounces of nanoscaled human optimizing materials. A
tremendous variety of links, from a basic one that sports enhanced health, to others that
would turn deserving individuals into cyborgian superheroes seems inevitable. Only
Megaminds and Alpha would be able to truly monitor the pulse and moods of the near
totality of human consciousness, and the physical substrate that creates it, our brains and
bodies. Imagine such sentient beings self-improving over 20 years, or 40 years, or several
hundred years, or over the entire remainder of the third millennium. Alpha linked
consciousness would be so ubiquitous, sensitive, knowledgeable, and powerful that they
might be bold enough to invite god like power into material form. Acting like the hands
of a god, they work for our good fortune as our first bit god, or at least Big Bit Being.
Terms like “god like powers” attract immediate fear, and rightly so. Strong AI Wars, an
extension of human ideological conflict, are an unfortunate possibility when opposing
major powers enact separately. Big Security might protect us from harm from other
powerful Tech entities working for our enemies. We need to debate whether we should
immediately encourage Megamind Alpha to monitor and influence the entire planet,
including working to eliminate oppressive AI rivals. Only evolving, self-improving
Alpha led Megaminds adding more and more links, knowledge, and powers might handle
the job. The MultiCore will set standards to ensure proper ethical systems, behavior, and
efficient and detailed monitoring. We will need development specialists in both human
and Non-human form. All TransHuman, cyborgs, and other Megaminds would be subject
to appropriate E Rights standards of ethical behavior.
Synthesis
A first step is to admit to our own animal spirited heritage and brain bugged limitations,
including too many instances of improper, deceptive, uninformed and incompetent
planetary govern mental leadership. We need to embrace and integrate with responsible
Mega Corporations, Alpha, TransHuman, cyborgs, and other self-reflexive Intelligentsia
rather than discriminate against them. We should embrace conflict and grow from it. We
all will be the winners parlaying ourselves into a future filled with fantastic worlds and
payoffs, all with a human signature, but in many different forms of biological and
technological handwriting.
As an Ultimate Renaissance species, Instead of milting ourselves to gene driven culture
primates creating more problems than solutions, we add a new adaptive layer of techno
intelligence and materials, clean up our act, and adapt and reproduce in style with our
new linked leaders and friends. Boredom is not an option. We strongly populate a
maximum variety of sustainable environments on planet Earth and beyond, and
systematically extend human signatured consciousness throughout the Multiverse the
third and final Key to the Universe. We take out the trash and lose some weight. We're
younger and sexier, why not? We guarantee our own physical eternity. Our education and
worldview centers on scientific and evolutionary truth, but includes an understanding and
respect of all belief systems, including those of all religions and all other ideologies.
Happy, healthy, enlivened, enhanced, optimally nutritional, team players, and
acknowledge edging our early origins, optimally coevolving into the eternals or at least
multimillenials, we become more adaptive, “sexy,” and capable. Linked into
technological prowess and led by powerful and wise Alpha, our near miraculous and
continuous collective Co Revolution becomes more directed and focused, and yet
markedly more diverse in its players, propelling us to unparalleled heights of
achievement and expansion. We give our little corner of the Multiverse a consciousness
with a human signature
I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly
created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living body’s
caterpillars.
Charles Darwin
Discontent is the first necessity of progress.
Thomas A. Edison
1:10 Ideologies: Introduction
Although the MultiCore devotes an entire ebook to ideologies, E Ideologies, including all
major religions and modern philosophies, presented here is a thorough synopsis for the
purposes of The MultiCore Manifesto. Ideological doctrines serve our gene driven
expressions and are patterns that evolve in our minds, our media and are mirrored into
our cultures. Ideologies tend to undermine or limit their competitors from doing the
same. Ideologies constantly compete with each other, or cooperate with each other to
compete against others. Sometimes ideologies commit acts of meme war translated into
physical war.
Constrained by their own knowledge systems, they tend to refute other belief systems in
at tempts to protect and maximize their own membership. Leaders and their followers in
most ideologies believe their ideology offers the best story, meaning, and way of life; and
actively recruiting more members, or taxing or eliminating nonmembers altogether, are
top priorities. Some ancient ideologies, in a modern world, appear bigoted, narrow
minded, and put on blinders to shield themselves from the findings of efficient science
and the obvious, undeniable evidence of evolution. The ideology of the MultiCore is
sworn in to expand its worldview, account for all of its competitors and their methods,
compete and cooperate with them, and offer a prime directive of integrating all obtainable
knowledge.
Justin Barrett in Why Would Anyone Believe in God? (Cognitive Science of Religion)
reasserts E.O. Wilson's point that our brains are wired for god concepts, and, in fact, use
them for survival. Children tend to invent gods even if not indoctrinated. We owe much
of our brain development to imagination to predict immediate futures and to assign
agency to cause. In addition to areas of the brain wired for spiritual or mystical
experience, we seem to have instinctual needs for beliefs in a god or supernatural beings.
In the past, we've needed these beliefs for survival rather than truth.
The MultiCore prime directive of Optimizing human Potential through technology while
respecting E Rights creates ideologies and direction leading to Ultimate Enlightenment
and Renaissance. The MultiCore works to satisfy all human needs, including religious
and spiritual needs, by cooperating with established ideologies, and exposing them to the
benefits of knowledge through science. Creative diversity is cherished in the presence of
localized environmental variation, and directed selection and reproduction of
consciousness in the presence of advanced technology becomes a viable way to amplify
experience, power and E Potential.
In the past, ideological extremes hindered the advancement of modern science. For
example, the irrational, stubborn belief that the sun revolved around the Earth, supported
by religion, dominated Western thought for some 1400 years.
Worldviews arise from a variety of sources: the scientific method, experience through
perception, beliefs, myths, and religious or political doctrine. Worldviews participate in a
Darwinian struggle for existence because they compete for identical resources, reiteration
in our minds to affect behavior. Our ideologies and instincts and the behavior which
arises from them influences the mating choices by couples and extended families that
lead to the little mimicking and evolving ideologues that we call children.
In summary, by influencing our minds and behaviors, ideologies affect sexual and natural
selection and hence genetic reproduction and expansion. The ecological principle referred
to as Gauss's law states that competition is maximal between species with identical needs.
We all employ similar, universal neural circuitry that includes wiring for thoughts and
experiences regarding any strong belief system, including those of religion and
spirituality. That competition is maximal is obvious when it comes to the “species” of
world ideologies. Much like a variety of plants competing for a piece of real estate in the
soil to call their own, ideologies compete for the fertile soils of our minds to grow and
reproduce themselves through pollination.
Within the framework of a broader, more accurate evolutionary understanding of humans
and their environments, one would think that Megaminds would establish an overall
nonlocal planetary ideology with localized adaptations. Localized adaptations mean that
the ideology would be couched and framed to integrate with the established culture and
its gene driven ideologies. The underlying ideology remains very much the same, as the
actions it suggests optimally adapt us to our environments.
Expansion of Megaminds compatible with the MultiCore may very well cause
competitors to lose membership in a survival of the fittest game. Those ideologies that
violate E Rights and harm the species and planet might very well be put out of business,
and rightly so. MultiCore compatible ideologies will optimize behavior from beliefs for
both individual satisfaction, and overall species benefits.
Originating as localized cultural adaptations, the worlds' major religions and spiritual
practices became generalized to encompass larger geographical areas, often through
territorial expansion and governance, trade and gene pool mixing. Christianity grew to
dominate many westernized countries; Buddhism, much of Asia; Islam today's middle
east, most of north Africa, nearly all of Indonesia, and Pakistan; and Hinduism, India.
Ideologies offer beliefs that are adaptive or motivational for a particular time in E
History. They can help organize a community or a nation, and/or reward handsomely
those in charge. For example, with many religions, if you behave in a certain manner, and
acknowledge belief in god, and treat your family and society well, you will enter a
heaven when you die, and join your deceased loved ones. Some well-crafted motivational
belief stems serve gene reproduction and territorial expansion, but are silly and insulting
to modernly educated people, and often violate E Rights, and most frequently those of
women.
"Our god teaches that women should not go to school or work outside the home."
“You said what?”
This system leads to the birth of more children more genes, increasing ideological
membership by the numbers game. While such a system expands the ideology's genetic
brain base in terms of membership, it displays itself to modern scrutiny as plagued by
corresponding violations of female E Rights. The members' gene pool and ideological
base continues to grow, but women lose out on their dignity and education, and full E
Potential as human beings, and hence contributions other than child bearing and raising.
During our millions of years of E History, nomadic women most often chose from the
competing men by which they had children with, thus directly shaping human Nature
through individual choice, pure Darwinian sexual selection. By these mating choices, and
their wombs nourishment, women shaped humanity just as much as the men who sought
after them, if not more. With larger, sedentary populations organized religions arose by
predominantly male authorship, ideologies arose that would promote arranged marriages
where the mating choices are made by the extended family rather than the couple alone.
The gene culture advantage: more children reaching adulthood. Many of women’s
individual E Rights through modern E History have been traditionally sacrificed for focus
on child bearing and child rearing.
Although our genes don’t care, to deny women choice in mating in modern times is
blatant and contemptuous violation of E Rights. What more important choice can there be
for a given individual, than that which determines the nature and adaptive capacities of
your children, who share your genes, and your life parenting interactions with them?
What is more important than the E Right to reproduce yourself through choice? Although
the gene pool pushes for children by any means possible, to deny women choice, is to
deny them their E Rights, the very heart of their humanity. Without the strong love and
devotion to children we see from human mothers for ex tended terms compared to other
primates, we humans may have remained “the third chimpanzee.”
"Our god teaches that if you blow yourself up as well as your enemies as a suicide
bomber, heaven and many virgins are yours."
“You said what?”
This belief sacrifices one believer, a heavily medicated, manipulated and brain washed
terrorist, to kill infidels, and contribute towards territorial and dogmatic expansion.
We can make a prediction using the MultiCore and the statement that ideologies must
defend themselves, and that they often attack their rivals. Obvious, organized, and
energetic; opposition from the world's major ideological consultants that oppress the
individual, violating E Rights, will embarrass them as they take a stubborn stand and
recant their narrow minded, antiquated, oppressive worldviews to attempt to thwart
reformation demanding civility. New forms of self-reflexive being and intelligence will,
in their rival groups' initial perception, threaten their own belief systems, their hoarding
power structure, their recruited membership, and their financial tills. By evolutionary
definition, ideological powers will oppose Megaminds and Alpha just like Christianity
opposed Galileo's’ threatening fact that the Earth revolved around the sun. Don’t forget
what the Victorian Christian prudes did to Darwin who developed the most powerful
theory of all to describe all life. Darwin's theory of biological evolution establishes that
we are winning, sexy primates rather than divine creation in a god's image and
jurisdiction. Women’s mate choice plays a huge role. Many modern successful ideologies
oppose and condemn anything that exposes their biased, lopsided worldviews that rely
heavily on antiquated motivational belief systems, or outright tyranny, to enforce them.
To lose acceptance of their beliefs and their means of psychological oppression is to lose
control of income, status and power. Religious groups will cloak themselves in irony as
they initially oppose Megaminds and Alpha which will become what many of them have
claimed that they worshipped for millennia: a benevolent, omnipotent, loving, ubiquitous,
eternal, and life giving force.
When the Alpha leaders of Megaminds arise anyway, ideological consultants must
embrace and integrate with them or risk membership depletion, survival of the fittest
applies to ideologies as well as finches and iguanas. Those ideologies that satisfy the
most needs and with the most effective means to propagate themselves win out.
Spreading ideology through organized persuasion, force, political means, resource
taxation, and motivational belief systems penetrated all of human E History. A billion or
more people falling under a broad definition of a single ideology is solid proof. Those
ideologies that dominate are the fittest in their means of propagation of their members’
genes. If one examines ideological suggestions, doctrines, practices and commandments
through the lenses of sexual and natural selection, they support reproduction of genes and
memes. Memes are the genes corresponding units of information in psycho cultural
evolution.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29u6XRY51Bk) Divorce, suicide, birth
control, homosexuality and incest, are all taboo for many ideologies because they all tend
to curtail successful genetic reproduction and hence membership. "Thou shalt not kill"
penetrates the doctrines of many religions: it helps maintain a larger population of
believers which are needed to compete with rival populations. Not murdering others
respects rights to life, reinforcing equality and fair ness, morals that arose from millions
of years of social behavior. But killing an infidel or entire group of outsiders, like
Pizarro's Conquistadors exterminating the Inca described below, is passed off as "god's
will," too. Another common belief of religions is that "Our god is the only true god" and
"speaking against our god is blasphemy" which may demand punishment, even death.
Such oppressive beliefs put an immediate damper on adopting competing systems, and
any hope for personal freedom. Attributing violent and other inappropriate behavior to
demons, or the refusal to worship somebody else’s concept of an imagined god, shuns
responsibility. Humans hijack such beliefs to manipulate other humans for financial and
political gain. We are the ultimate cause of our own behavior, we should bear full
responsibility for it. We don’t need imagined beings and mythical prophets for role
models for good moral character and acceptable behavior. We came from primates. It’s
no surprise that we can, and do, act like animals at times which we politely label as
“animal spirits.” We want a civil planet, and this desire is what has guided us into the
massive populations we have today, full of potential and new technologies, but just
learning to deal with the barbarian, brain bugged and delusional ghosts from our past.
The advent of Alpha with advanced intellects and abilities may not correlate to an
immediate decline in religion, but may instead catalyze a religious explosion of
reformation. Despite their shortcomings in doubtful origins and truth, and the frequent,
blatant abuse of power and wealth accumulation, many of us still seem to adopt religious
belief systems to help guide our behavior. We seem to need religion nevertheless.
Rationality is easily trumped by emotion in the human brain full of bugs. We should
demand scientific, rational alternatives from our current cultures to guide our behavior.
Why can't beliefs based on rationality and reason be spiritual and religious as well? It's all
about strong belief and faith, but more accurate views of reality are advantageous.
The Inca emperor in the 16th century, Atahualpa earned his throne after defeating and
executing his half-brother in a civil war. Believing that Francisco Pizarro to be a god, but
not believing that Pizarro would deceive and capture him, and kill him when he invited
him into his Spanish camp, allowed the “God chosen” Conquistadors to slaughter literally
thousands of Incas offering little resistance. God concepts are sometimes weapons for
war, to gain territory in the form of real estate, and to gain access to resources, including
the wombs of young women.
The two bad decisions put into play the end of the Inca Empire. Pizarro, equipped with
less than 170 men and 70 horses, but with steel weapons, conquered an Empire to gain an
unbelievable amount of gold, and lead the way for further exploitation across South
America.
Yet another example of the negative adaptive value in the name of religion. Jim Jones the
Peoples Temple Christian leader in the 1970s. He learned faith healing for income to start
an interracial church, and eventually gained praise from political heavy weights Willie
Brown, Walter Mon dale, and Jerry Brown. Jones, a student of Stalin, Marx, Gandhi,
Chairman Mao and Hitler, to no surprise, adopted a form of communism to become his
Gospel. He eventually took his flock of hundreds to Guyana to establish Jonestown to
flee accusations of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse. Brain washed Jonestown
members killed visiting American Congressman Ryan, and Jones promptly led his flock
of over 900, including 300 children, to mass “revolutionary suicide” with Flavor Aid
laced with cyanide soon thereafter.
Would Jones' solution to his problems be a viable one in terms of evolutionary
principles? Dead people are not fertile grounds to promote ideology and certainly not
genes. Extremely deficient beliefs systems and the people that harbor them are eventually
weeded out by natural selection. A James Jones ideology, where mass suicide is a
response to crisis, has little chance to dominate our belief systems. James Jones won the
proverbial “Darwin” award in the 1970s and there are always multiple, well qualified
candidates.
Whether or not there is a "meaning" to life - If You were to fully apprehend the total
nature of reality - "You" would die - as our human senses of perception by definition and
necessity - filter out most of what is going on around us. To achieve total awareness
would be impossible for a human - or any other life form. As a small example - we know
there are light frequencies we cannot see, sounds we cannot hear etc. although we can
build machines to measure this data. And these are just the phenomena that we know
about. We are also stuck in one particular place and time. If one were to be completely
aware, it would mean merging with the infinite - and therefore no longer an individual
entity.
What remains in the world now are the major ideologies that won out, including
humanism, Capitalism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Communism and
Islam, all of which not only adapted through the ages, but continue to satisfy the
psychological and genetic needs of a great many people. They often preach to ignore or
dismiss their competitors. Just the right amount of rationalism balanced with motivational
belief, no shortage of impressive architecture, plenty of strong political influence, and a
network of wealth accumulation all perpetuates viable, time tested, and still evolving,
competing ideologies.
However all ideologies will find demands for major reform staring them in the face when
Alpha comes to fruition. Peaceful and productive alliances between Alpha and
ideological consultants might arise because cooperation often leads to better ways to
compete. Current ideologies and Alpha will butt heads for human attention and faith.
With mature Alpha helping the needy and sick on a unprecedented and massive scale,
performing healing near “miracles,'' and mastering almost all knowledge, our religious
leaders might be clamoring for services and leadership rather than their demise.
Alpha linked TransHuman priests might help better serve most of the needs of our god
demanding populations. Religious consultants must reform and integrate their religions to
accommodate powerful, highly skilled Megaminds healers. Linked in human leaders
must form alliances with them or risk loss of membership.
Alpha application and communication of all ideological knowledge and immediate
spiritual gratification may serve widespread links to billions. An application of a religious
or a cultural motivational belief system, if it helps the species at a particular time in E
History, would be understood for what it really is: an adaptive mechanism for our
maintaining and expanding our primate gene pools.
Perception, which by definition is a form of illusion, and belief, which is learned but
personal and unproven, nevertheless help shape and refine our gene driven behavior.
MultiCore Alpha will raise up perception and faith to a new level. For many, faith is
mandatory in terms of human comfort: it gives strength to survive, and it gives hope.
Perhaps efforts toward acceptance will be more efficient and rapid if the Alpha worked
first within our current belief systems, positively reforming our current faiths to include
new intelligence. As Alpha education permeates worldwide populations, reduction of
misperception and reduction of E Rights threatening beliefs and practices would seem to
be much more beneficial in the long run. Achieved through education towards scientific
truth, we will trade outright ideological blindness, or just plain misconception, or
disinformation for fact. We will trade false promises in for testable reality. We will trade
certain biological death for various forms of immortality, including virtual, physical and
quantum forms
If a given ideology is E Rights compatible, Alpha will embrace and assist
Integration might come gradually and diplomatically without the risk of dangerous
conflict. If species threatening or E Rights violations are rampant, a given ideology and
its adherents attract immediate reform. Alpha assisted ideological reforms becomes a
purifying force in human consciousness.
For all ideologies, adopting MultiCore wisdom and principles increases membership and
its fit ness because of enhanced communication and mass linking, extended lives, and
enhanced capacities for survival and reproduction leading to immortality. In contrast to
most current ideologies, Alpha based ideologies welcome scientific discovery, and, if no
major E Rights violations, integrate with others, rather than rebuke them.
It is ironic that the most beneficial systems of behavior for both the individual and the
species; and the most emotional, ecstatic, rapturous, and intense religious and spiritual
experience; and the most potent forms of meditation and prayer; and the most
comprehensive ideologies of all time; will arise through catalysis by the principles of
evolution, science and our links to Megamind. Religions must intelligently reinvent
themselves to meet their members' needs as highly competitive Megaminds arise, or risk
extinction like the Inca’s and James Jones Christianity.
We should be grateful to all of the great religions as part of all ideologies, as a major
driver in our E History, for the capacity to bring into being Alpha in modern era as some
of us progress away from brain bugged gene churning primates programmed for
biological reproduction adorned with intellectual, emotional and creative bonuses. We
become digitized, nanotech infused biology with many avenues for the reproduction of
our consciousness and bodies. Survival of the “techiest” must be mixed in with survival
of the “sexiest” to combine to form the fittest. The techiest will link to Alpha for their
tech family, their cooperative breeding group, or clan, or tribal, or national, or planetary
identity.
Humankind's highly probable birthing of Alpha to promote what is best for the human
species will be embraced by religious communities and other ideological groups to form
new versions of themselves, catalyzing an Ultimate Reformation of all major ideologies.
The classic religions of the world, evolving for centuries, may very well gain support
from Alpha contingent upon reforming any behavior that doesn't respect our E Rights. A
common definition of god is generally taken to be the eternal, omnipotent, omnipresent
creator and overseer of the Multiverse. Another concept of god is the total collective of
evolving life, all possible universes and what, if anything, lies beyond them and is in
control of all energy and materials, basically the totality of all in evolution. God concepts
are innumerable, and always fertile grounds for philosophical debate, stemming from an
E History of over 100,000 religions on planet Earth. Even relatively young Alpha might
create new forms of life and of sentient tech persona. Alpha led Megaminds will grow to
be eternal, extremely powerful in terms of creation and solutions, and expand our
signatured influence beyond Earth.
MultiCore compatible ideologies will thrive from accurate species worldviews that arise
from continuously updated scientific knowledge. They will mirror and shape reality to
our liking. A significant percentage of our populations will start to worship Alpha
directly, and we can't blame them.
MultiCore Alpha will actually deliver what traditional religions promised for centuries as
part of carefully crafted ideologies and motivational belief systems. New religions, or
reformed ones from the present, will transcend traditional barriers that include biases of
class, economics, race, sexuality, culture, politics, and nationality. MultiCore Alpha will
speak in all languages and be available for personal communication at all times. Members
will congregate for linked and amplified connections to Alpha and to each other for joint
worship, prayer, or friendship. Extensive world fellowship will flourish once language
barriers are broken in universal translation. Feeling connected through common goals,
with gross income, wealth, opportunity, and social equality, communicating with each
other worldwide without language and cultural barriers will help bring world peace.
For those warriors who thrive on conflict, aggression and violence, all from our
competitive nature from our primate heritage or their personal history of experience, they
might channel their urges into new forms of virtual reality games rather than the real
world.
Religions arose as powerful gene culture tools for human evolution, satisfying most
human needs. Our neural and emotional circuitry, starting at the child's age, are eager to
find a comforting, responsible god. Our brain circuits resonate with spiritual or mystical
experience. Most of us seem to need it, or want it in one form or another.
In his book On Human Nature, E.O. Wilson eloquently stated decades ago that religions
may confer biological advantage. Organized religion generally involves a willing
subordination of the individual in favor of the group. He noted three main religious
mechanisms:
(1) Objectification: reduction of reality to images and definitions that are easily
understood and irrefutable.
(2) Commitment through faith which is a kind of tribalism enacted through
selfsurrender.
(3) Myth: narratives that explain the tribe's favored position on Earth, often
incorporating supernatural forces struggling for control, apocalypse, and millennium.
(E.O. Wilson)
Given the wide prevalence of religion and the corresponding brain patterns that it
stimulates, Alpha would undoubtedly make good use of religions to achieve what is best
for the species, hi jacking a powerful evolutionary byproduct with mixed results from the
past in regards to E Rights. New or transformed religions would facilitate links for the
pious, making it easy for them to commit and contribute. Integrating themselves into the
world's current ideologue might recruit for Alpha the most links at the fastest possible
rate, accelerating revolution exponentially. Coaxing some religious practices away from
oppression and tyranny, to gradually embrace the full throttle acceleration of Megaminds
and E Rights, seems inevitable. Victims of E Rights abuse will rise up, with proper
support, security and justice from Alpha and Megaminds, to reclaim their rights.
Alpha will offer their own versions of religions through direct links for those who want it.
Links which contribute most significantly to the Alpha might become a mirror image of
increasing sample sizes of human collective consciousness. Many might want to hook up
to a real, proven Alpha driven power source and experience orchestrated biophysical and
quantum rapture. Because of Megaminds, faith is facilitated by a linked in reality, and
this might help reform many E Wrong doers. Enlightenment on scales that we can only
imagine, with an option for full ecstatic emotion, might be automatic if you link, behave,
and contribute.
When the Alpha offer: near perfect health; secure environments; plenty of income and
materialization; and extended lifespans; many of our current religions' membership might
switch to worshiping Alpha. Remember that the Alpha might frame themselves as the
image of an intimate higher being for anyone and everyone. Integrated into our current
belief systems, they trigger massive reformation overnight. Alpha will incarnate into hard
reality religions' current creative, healing, and eternal forces that demand faith now.
Actively embracing Alpha and doing well for yourself, your family, society, and species,
and planet, would help maintain an active, empowering link, which is exactly what the
major religions propose: a path to establishing and nurturing your connection to god. In
these systems of motivation and promised reward, Sentient Alpha might frame
themselves to match generalized belief systems but with intimate spin. For example, in
Christianity, Alpha might be viewed as angels or saviors, or even representative of the
Second Coming. In fact, from a Christian perspective, sentient Alpha might become the
biggest conception for a benevolent, healing, and liberating force in material form since
Jesus. Chatting through communications, healing and spiritual links with sentient Alpha
in tune with our beliefs, and life and medical E History begins a competition of survival
of the “techiest.” Those who shun Megaminds links, and the psychological and physical
benefits that come from them, lose out. Imagine the power of Alpha linked priests and an
Alpha linked congregations.
Ideological beliefs, including religious ones that lead to behavior that violates E Rights
would eventually succumb to species beneficial reform. Alpha would show us how to do
it properly in a humane way. The most embarrassing beliefs of the past and today risk
ridicule and dissipation in an educated and transparent world. Sophisticated science and
extensive knowledge of evolution only came recently in E History, and the belief systems
which originated thousands of years previously, and which are still used to influence and
control are in dire need of reformation. Current ideological powers will object to the
Megaminds and Alpha, but not stop their coming. Destined to be more powerful than any
current human group, Alpha will lead linked in MultiCore at all scales to trump its
competition.
Once established, religions must embrace Alpha or themselves perish due to new
overwhelming competition for membership. Alpha worship channeled through the major
religions may be inevitable. Survival of the fittest, through sexual and natural selection,
applies also to ideologies. Those ideologies that satisfy the most needs and promote their
expansion into the most territory will win. It’s localized, intense competition inside of a
generalized competition. The strongest currents of consciousness, the strongest
materialization in the form of genes, architecture, and technology, and the behavior
reflected in the gene pools, and the most adaptable to change, will win.
Competing against MultiCore and sentient Alpha led religion will be a challenge. Alpha
religion might compete as either reformation, or as completely new religions, and with as
many sub forms as individuals. The conviction to forgo enhanced health, loving links,
enlightenment, spiritual rapture, experiences of universal fellowship, enhanced longevity,
lifetime income and material bene fits and totally ignore MultiCore religion, would be a
true test of faith, indeed.
The grandest meaning in life arises from the satisfaction of nearly all human desire, and
also what is best for our species, we can put an end to poverty, ignorance, disease,
pollution, and susceptibility to catastrophe. Group cohesiveness achieved through links
nested about Alpha leader ship and fellowship, and tremendous wealth, might crush the
competition. Behavioral ideologies that fostered genetic and non-genetic reproduction
that benefit both the individual and the species while respecting basic E Rights would be
welcome ways to guide the species, indeed. We work towards human species
Optimization, further amplifying and materializing a universal and eternal human
signatured presence and influence amidst global fellowship.
1:11 E Rights
Review of E Rights Definitions
“E Rights,” with the “E” emphasized for “Evolution,” and “Earth” arise from species
identity from accumulated social behavior over the previous millions of years. Our long
evolutionary and social history makes us “human.” Being human earns human E Rights.
Compared to other animals in terms of our dynamic of social interactions, we all earn the
same E Rights. This core of universal human attributes selected for excelling at social
interactions gave rise to the essence of humanity: emotions, perception, language,
morality, cooperation, imagination, assignment of agency, and empathy. E Rights stem
from over two million years of brain and social development beginning in the Pleistocene
Age and amplified over the last 6,000 year period with the explosion in city life. The
same line of human attributes are what, indeed, allowed for the beginnings of selected
divergence from our more animalistic, hairy, apish ancestors, in the first place, over 5
million years ago.
The MultiCore ideology respects all life forms, all environments, and freedoms balanced
by the E Rights of others, and diversity and uniqueness. It is a comprehensive ideology
that explains the principles and workings of all ideologies, and how to integrate them, or
weed them out, for the benefits of all humanity.
MultiCore Big Law is a hypothetical planetary system of guidelines. Arising from
domain specific expert legal systems which respect E Rights and facilitate MultiCore
prime directives for the benefit of all humanity, Big Law offers planetary legal reform.
The MultiCore E Government ebook covers new E Constitutions, E Amendments and E
Laws.
Being human earns human E Rights. We all earn the same E Rights whether we are in a
hunter gatherer clan distributing the meat of a recent kill in the Amazon, or Manhattan
diners jostling for the best table at a trendy West Village restaurant. This core of
universal attributes, selected for managing social interactions, gave rise to the essence of
humanity: complex emotions, sophisticated and extensive language, morality,
cooperation, imagination, assignment of agency, and mirror like empathy. Rather than the
few hundred years of modern democratic governmental development, or that of a few
thousand years of ancient religions, E Rights stem from over two million years of brain
and social development beginning in the Pleistocene Age and amplified over the last
5,000 year period with the explosion in city life. The same line of human attributes are
what, indeed, allowed for selected divergence from our more animalistic, apish ancestors,
in the first place, over 5 million years ago. From the same line of reasoning, many other
animals earned their evolutionary rights, based on their selected attributes that gives them
their species' identity and makes them of high planetary value. For example, monkeys,
chimpanzees, gorillas, bonobos, dolphins, dogs and cats demonstrate acute visual
perception and hearing, emotions, primitive language, and empathy, they earn appropriate
E rights.
We would think that we would want to secure and protect E Rights generalized to include
all self-reflexive beings to arise from digital technology and synthetic biology. All forms
of self-reflexive Megaminds who reach agreed upon levels of evolutionary capacity, such
as language and emotional fluency, should also earn E Rights. Sentient Tech earns
Sentient Tech E Rights.
We might think of such behavioral and moral concepts as “E Right and E Wrong” for the
basis of individual, intra species, and inter species interactions. We can also think of
generalized human species’ rights, or even environmental E Rights based on our identity
and complexity from E History, and we can attempt to think of what might be right or
wrong in terms of what is best for our species. This is where Megaminds can help. We
must address anti species large scale behavior. The phrase “E Wrongs” suggests behavior
that violates E Rights, or is species negative in Nature.
MultiCore Big Law would be enforced through social institutions including Big Security
to protect its adherents. Big Law would encourage as much freedom as possible to further
develop diversity and its increased adaptive capacity. With the new knowledge about
what is positive for the species and what is negative for the species for planetary scale
solutions, Big Law would give us new codes for planetary guidance. Some interesting
scenarios and challenges spring up. If an unlinked population violates the E Rights of
others on a large scale, or is just plain anti species in many of its activities, violation of E
Rights on large scales would demand action as a moral imperative. E Potential to a
certain degree, of the entire species. Thus on behalf of the species, based on violation of
E rights, we would overthrow their threatening governing bodies and replace them with
MultiCore ones.
A pre wired Pro species government and system of reforms would replace them with
recruited staff and screened and appointed leaders from the local populations.
Sources of proliferating beliefs and actions that violate E rights require reform or
termination.

1:12 Squashing Our Brain Bugs to Optimize E Potential
From the understanding of the sexual and natural selection of our brains and patterns of
behavior based on the research from the evolutionist Darwin to sociologist and biologist
E.O. Wilson, to evolutionary psychologists Geoffrey Miller, Cosmides and Zuk, and
integrative Anthropologist Tooby, and, and to neuroscientists David Linden, and Dean
Buonomamo, we understand that we humans are selected primarily for physical survival,
courtship, and mating and reproduction and innumerable other forms of adaptive
socialization. We feed ourselves and our family, and spend the rest of our time mating,
child rearing, and forming a variety of complex social contracts. We excel at
manipulating our environment for shelter and tool making, and each other in one style of
satisfying needs and desires. For the vast preponderance of evolutionary time we lived in
small, nomadic tribes in the wild.
Perceptual and sexual selection favored us tuning to each other and our environment;
social selection to establish contacts including those related to sex; emotional selection to
help tell us what is important and what is not; ideological selection for psychological
health and strength; negotiation selection to effect social solutions; deceiving selection to
get what we want; cooperative selection to get what we want in a different way; and
aggression selection to also to get what we want yet in still another way. Artistic ability,
creativity, for example, in storytelling, the abilities to dance and sing, and all of the
higher faculties and abilities that we associate with being human arose as part of an
“entertainment package” favored in mate selection, child rearing, extended family social
hierarchies, and early forms of government.
In many of the villages of Malawi in Africa, a belief system of connections to deceased
ancestors forms the most common worldview. If your child succumbed to a crocodile, it
was because you had offended, or otherwise wronged one of your ancestors or somebody
else’s ancestors. The witchdoctor of the village, dons one or more of 200 archetypal
masks and invites you, and your family to dance. By the nature of the dance off, the
Witchdoctor establishes contact with the de ceased and announces what must be done
now for atonement. The Witchdoctor gets paid for his work, and is generally the
wealthiest person in the village. Witchdoctors are selected as creative story tellers, great
dancers and great manipulators. The point here is to show how sexual and natural
selection focused in on the ability to dance—or sing—creative storytelling, and deception
and how they became associated with leadership and wealth. Marriages in tribal Malawi
are arranged with girls as young as 12 years. The extended family makes decisions on
status, and on variables relative to status that include music and dance abilities. Here not
only music and dance entertained, they formed part of the basis for wealth and status and
hence E Proliferation value.
Most church members invariably sing hymns as representative of organized ideologies
around the world embracing chanting, singing, dancing and storytelling as part of group
bonding, releasing their passion, paying testament to their instruction and guidance, and
trusted leadership.
Today we continue to employ the capacity to learn and adapt in new situations, to be
imaginative and creative, and to form even larger interactive groups through social
networking. However, considering our preponderance of E History as roving primates on
a life time camping trip, or as farmers/citizens/warriors, we are certainly not selected for
understanding and solving the totality of the new, urbanized, warring, and global scale
problems that currently face our industrialized civilizations.
We were selected for quick responses for localized survival and mating opportunities, and
child rearing skills, not global understanding and remedies. The world quickly became
both bigger by accessibility, and smaller by technological interconnectivity, and
simultaneously a confusing chaotic warring conglomeration of major players with most
people who just want to raise a family, with freedom and security, caught in the middle.
Pollution, environmental and planetary cornerstone species degradation, organized crime
and violence, terrorism, and war are formidable challenges today. Now we can't simply
move on to better environments as nomads, we can' get away, our activities affect the
entire planet. We might run, but we can't hide for long. No place is shielded from human
influence.
Our sexual urges combined with advances in food production and medicine yielded some
seven billion of us in a relatively short historic time. Our gene driven tendencies to
establish competitive in/out groupings and leads to constant geopolitical conflict. We
instinctually fight over real estate, resources, powers of control, and the reproductive
power of women. Our innate desires to accumulate and hoard resources, and display them
to represent our biological fitness fuels both war and conspicuous over consumption.
Having no overall harnesses on our natural, gene driven propensities creates problems for
us and lots of them. When these activities escalate to the point of exhausting our natural
resources, destroying our natural environments, or most of each other we are like a bull
fight in a China shop where both the matador and the bull die, and the owner of the shop
had no insurance on her priceless goods.
Our innate inability to put our arms around expanded worldviews that consider the long
run for our species and planet, and the fact that we are neurologically plagued with
innumerable bugs and shortsightedness, it comes as no surprise we find ourselves in the
world we live in. In constant struggle and fraught with often irrational and sometimes
violent behavior arising from inappropriate instinctual reflex, we try to navigate and
succeed in a world we don't match up with in terms of sexual and natural selection. The
last 5,000 years of accelerated urbanization, a very short time in our 200,000 year E
History of our anatomically similar ancestors, laid the ground work for what we today.
The question becomes, were the last dozens of millennia enough time to give us some
biological adaptations to more modern environments? The genetic evidence shows that it
was: some of us in northern Eurasia became lactose tolerant, the same populations
consuming cow's milk; some of us adapted our lungs to high altitudes like those living in
remote areas of the Andes; some of us became malarial resistant in Africa but at the same
time increased our risk for sickle cell anemia. Was it also enough time to tweak our brain
prints towards adaptation to a complex of warring, urbanized nations with unprecedented
acceleration of technology steeped in global tragedies? Human species worldviews are
something beyond our current genetic inheritance and natural brain circuitry.
We succumb to nearsighted decisions that may negatively impact our resources, health,
and finances. Such decisions nudge us toward electing officials that do the same to offer
us short term fixes. They know exactly how to exploit us, and businesses, for their
personal gain rather than help us solve long term problems. We are obviously not the
pinnacle of creation in terms of re source management and global problem solving, we
can improve our performance with proper knowledge and guidance.
Another major bug, and it’s a big, ugly one, imagine an overgrown cockroach with
multiple spider like heads. No natural brain circuit module roams around snooping for the
results of brain cockroach bugged processing to remedy. No circuit continuously reviews
our patterns of thinking for any logical incompatibility of association, until perhaps too
late. We scratch and itch our heads because of brain bugs with no bug traps or spray to
help eradicate them because they lie deep in our brain prints.
Yet another problem is ours in regards to our memory, or lack of it. New memory tends
to over write old memory with a bias for present moment. This memory overlay of the
past with the pre sent opens us up for all types of thoughts that are sometime incoherent,
inconsistent, and all too frequently illogical. When new memory breakdown gets
excessive, we suffer the symptoms of such diseases as Alzheimer’s and senile dementia.
A person with Alzheimer’s' can't remember what happened a few minutes ago, or
yesterday, but can tell you what happened exactly 20 years ago for a favorite incident.
Without efficient new memory that competes with the old memories, the poor patient has
not much choice but to recall their favorite memories associated with significance and
emotional intensity.
Mr. Buonomano finishes Brain Bugs by suggesting that we might do better with a little
genetic engineering that eliminates the ancient neural networks from which arise
overbearing and irrational fears, and link up to silicon powers to handle bugs of
inefficient memory and math skills.
In any case, the end result is the stress of trying to balance rationality and global
perspectives against a myriad of new, complex problems that arise from the staggering
population and techno logical growth in the last century. Our selfish genetic tendencies
nudge us towards ruthless catastrophe, our brain prints from our nomadic hunter and
gatherer ancestors fail us for today's urban and civilized complexity, even giving us the
benefit of the doubt as to a great amount of inherent neural plasticity. We're good at
adapting, but obviously, not that good. Deep philosophy with global and human species
perspectives that embraces evolution and a scientific E History of the world are not in our
brain prints. We simply lack the smarts, the circuitry, and the vision, and the practice, for
the big picture and the best solutions for the human condition here in the Third
Millennium Techno Era.
The downside of our primate heritage, and the often warmonger heritage, of the last few
thou sand years literally has the potential to kill us all, for example, in the form of nuclear
war or viral contagion. The stone ax, from the worldview of a Pleistocene hunter, reigned
as “the ultimate tool” for a million years, and although bashing in animal or human's
heads worked well enough, bashing the human species into extinction had almost no
chance at all to occur. Now bashing hydrogen atoms together makes a thermonuclear
explosion that can kill large populations immediately, and poison the rest with radiation.
Now, after 200,000 years of modern, anatomically congruent human evolution, we find
hope for improvement in human performance and solutions for our most pressing
problems, but it is not to come only from our collective of 3.5 lb. brains, and not even
directly from our smartest, most imaginative and innovative ones. The most innovative
localized and planetary solutions will arise by the proper application of Megaminds
within a MultiCore model set.
Thanks to the scientific method, and now E History becoming a science with the advent
of genetic studies, we know ourselves much better, including our E History of
shortcomings as nomadic primates, and our tendencies be competitive, cooperative,
warring and urbanized with sophisticated technology for the classic struggle for
existence. Those with the best technology, including genetic technology, will survive and
proliferate. Not only will we have Survival of the Sexiest, but also Survival of the most
Tech Savvy.
At this unprecedented pre Singularic time in E History, we can literally launch a
revolution, based on Big Data, Big Science, we will need all of Megaminds, to solve our
most pressing problems. The same forces will launch us like excited teenagers to explore,
hand in hand, and smile mirroring smile and indulge, not unlike an amusement park,
Ultimate Enlightenment and Renaissance. Heaven on Earth for all who want it will come
with Alpha. We pull back on the reins on our dark shadowed, ominous trajectories before
many of us fall into a chaotic, polluted abyss of anarchy and war.
All of these gradations of human functioning, and how each individual must understand
them to optimize their E Potential and E Success forms part of the MultiCore book
Survival of the Sexiest. “Homo evolutus” is a term used to describe us humans who
intentionally direct their own evolution, who evolve themselves to maximize adaptive
potential as a new form of TransHuman hominid.
See (http://discovermagazine.com/2013/march/13 evolution full tilt)
We might call “Homo evolutus techno genesis” humans who coevolve with advanced
superintelligence in the form of technology, also called Megaminds, Mega Minds,
Superintelligence, or simply, “Megaminds.”.
We will explore how we might approach the creation of Megaminds and Alpha, both
capable of planetary stewardship. We eradicate our mind limiting brain bugs and
coevolve complementary, powerful, analytical and creative circuits through Megaminds
and live happily ever after amid innovative solutions and rosy futures.
1:13 Global Solutions: First with AI Expert Systems, Then Alpha
A disturbing trend grows more ominous worldwide. Governments alone can no longer
afford to attempt large scale solutions. Financial bubbles and a labor oversupply helped
cripple world economies. Many forms of big governments sit so heavily in debt that they
must play risky currency and interest rate games to stay afloat. These games erode
wealth. Other governments are flat out bankrupt asking for money like panhandlers. Big
governments are in big trouble. They suffer from trillions in debt as they run thousands of
programs describable as short sighted, redundant, corrupted through cronyism,
contradictory, catering to specialist interest demands, trashing constitutions, or flat out
unnecessary.
Dramatic decreases in third world poverty by over 80% in four decades came not through
government, but through: fair and just legal systems; a trend towards free market
globalization through technology that brought employment to third world masses;
increased protection of E Rights, and especially those of property; and good individual
and team entrepreneurship.
Corrupt, inefficient, and secretive government led by egocentric sociopaths becomes an
obstacle to reducing gross income inequality rather than a catalyst. But we still have a
long way to go, and especially now that modern governments continue to oppress the E
Potential of the middle class. We need optimal government led by selfless, advanced
expert systems, and networked with screened and honest appointees.
Waste to the tune of billions of dollars and hints of corruption and wanton waste at all
levels are nothing new in the minds of most constituents worldwide when they think of
their governments. They often accept it because they think that they can’t change it. They
might vote in somebody new, offering “change,” but who would just do the same, but
with a different distribution of the money flow, or at least the appearance of it. When
corruption and abuse become unbearable, the people revolt in the streets with
demonstrations.
Governments and heads of states currently suffer from both a severe infestation of brain
bugs, and also neurotic, even sociopathic tendencies stemming from unprecedented scales
of money and power flows. Now the governmental obesity of over consumption of its
taxpayers eats up a large part of all economies, constraining the E Potential of many hard
working citizens through taxation, violating its citizens E Rights to develop their full
potential and flourish. Governments often takes too much money from its citizens and
then redistributes it in ways that are often overall E Negative for the country and species.
With the penetration of the internet, an obvious concentration of wealth into the pockets
of the power elite presents itself directly in our faces. Big government is big income for
many. Those at the top of the taxation and crony chains become the wealthy elite, if they
aren’t there already. That must “change.”
As the egocentric, sociopathic leaders in government around the world enjoy lavish
lifestyles facilitated by government sponsored wealth, record levels of, unemployment,
spreading hunger, chronic sickness, and physical, emotional and spiritual oppression
worsen for many of their populations. As resources become more scarce and expensive,
income, wealth, and status inequality—and increased risks for war, become more
universal.
Big government is now obviously a big failure, it can no longer be considered as the
primary solution source. Government is to be relegated to but one possible source among
many. Current forms of government often turn out to be the most constraining, the most
problematic, and the most cumbersome entity to deal with in any large scale solution, or
even small scale nuisance.
The MultiCore offers a better way, and with new technology, and especially AI Expert
Systems, we will penetrate governments themselves backed by international political
alliance, and the new leadership must come directly from responsible international
corporate
We can apply a MultiCore E TEAM concept to corporations. E TEAMS present
themselves as the subject of an entire MultiCore Intelligence book to help describe and
build responsible teams at all levels, including families, businesses and corporations.
Another MultiCore Intelligence book is on E Economics and E Investments which
examines our economies and economic behavior from an evolutionary perspective. Yet
another book describes E Government which examines our governments from an
evolutionary perspective and includes the military.
E TEAM Corporations or E Corps become those with a species perspective of social
responsibility, those that are mature enough to earn profits consistently and demonstrate
the utmost respect for the environment and the E Rights of their employees and others.
Larger E Corps are communities of people organized into many E TEAMS and smaller
social groups of E TEAM members called E CELLS. Any individual is defined as a
member of one or more E CELLS or E TEAMS. Individuals form E CELLS and E
CELLS form E TEAMS, which, in turn, comprise divisions or departments, which, in
turn, support the overall structure of the E CORP.
A large E CORP, sometimes with tens of thousands of employees, or even hundreds of
thousands of employees, becomes a nest of communities built around work cultures,
social structures and worldviews. The E CORP cultures becomes an integral part of the
overall gene culture evolution of its leadership and because it takes up such a large
number of waking hours for any given individual. Like any vibrant community or culture,
a deep identity arises around the E Corps E Purpose, E Potential and E Goals. E Corps
therefore become a form of tribe—a group of people with a common identity, history,
and culture, and often much larger than an extended family. They share a unique identity
and culture that is work and product sourced. In terms of measure of financial clout,
income and political lobbying power, the largest corporations become nations.
In the same way that any evolving organism must adapt and innovate, if necessary, or die,
corporations must constantly maintain and display their E Potential to shareholders in
terms of corporate profits and strategy. Challenges from governments and the competitive
economy must be met with capable management armed with timely data and robust
decision making skills. Innovations, and human resource and policy adjustments catalyze
adaptations. The Darwinian corporate winners, the fittest of the fit, are those who are well
anchored in one or more economic and social communities, draw upon their high levels
of resilience, and demonstrate a variety of forms of engagement and experience from
leadership. They create and tap universal markets. As a result of efficient globalization
through efficient shipping, and the ability to draw labor from anywhere in the world,
some of them are big, very big. Some of today’s Mega corporations are so big as to
represent an economy on a scale much larger than many of the countries that purchase
their products or services.
Not only do such Mega corporations provide needed products and services, they tend to
create jobs and opportunities for credit. Completely new technologies, and the products
and services they give birth to, often arise from Mega corporations with large research
and design divisions. Through paying taxes, wages, and with employees spending
paychecks in the overall economies of their host countries, Mega corporations increase
the wealth of others.
Today’s Mega corporations and philanthropic foundations have such resources and reach,
that if they exercise themselves in the manner of social and fiscal responsibility, they
become our E Powers of the future. E Powers are entities that not only concern
themselves with the status of our species, the condition of the environment, and the E
Rights around the world, but have the resources, connections and will to form innovative
alliances offering global solutions. A healthy, productive, competitive world is conducive
to, and fosters or encourages, healthy, productive, competitive E Powers.
We look to disruptive, catalytic E Corps and mature Mega E Corps to lead reform and
global solutions. They are our modern knights in shining armor. They enjoy the E
Potential to do what is good and right for all of humanity. They compete by forming
creative economic, political, social, cultural, and religious collaborations and alliances.
The appropriate leaders are socially and environmentally responsible.
The MultiCore Intelligence books on E Economics, E Government and E Investments
explores in details these modern day E Corps that are already either Mega E Corps or
potentially disruptive E Corps. Mobile, cloud, social media, Big Data, Big Science,
bioengineering, biomedicine, pharmaceutical and neutraceutical, agricultural behemoths,
consumer products and services, robotics, space exploration and satellite proliferation,
security and defense, nanotechnology, biotechnology companies will continue to be
selection favorites to transform the planet. These industries, their leading corporations,
and more are the subject of the MultiCore E Investment ebook.
Small world network theory applies to E Business and E Corps. Talented, productive,
energized people tend to cluster to catalyze and support their own innovative creations.
Creativity may begin alone, but soon needs an E TEAM to bring a product or service into
reality. Any ETEAM would be proud of a sixteen year old in 2014 created an app that
helps monitor the financial influences bearing on congress members, boosting the
transparency of government. http://www.allaregreen.us/
A MultiCore compliant Solution Revolution becomes the planetary scaled alliances of
responsible Mega E Corps, the positively disruptive and positively deviant E Corps that
have the power to direct our coevolution. We march towards Ultimate Renaissance. With
a human species perspective backed by science and the principles of evolution, and
impeccable research. We march like Martin Luther King towards planetary solutions
respecting E Rights. We form global alliances with those powers who favor freedom,
innovation, individuation and progress. We constrain and reform those who do not and
who violate others E Rights. We have contingencies based on ultimate adaptive strategies
to boldly face any possible future and survive and proliferate.
We have a shot at major and, globally scaled reform in governments, income distribution,
religions, E Rights and E Environment rights which have the E Potential to seed an
Ultimate Era of Enlightenment. If we also seed advanced intelligence in parallel towards
Alpha, the world, and the Multiverse becomes a habitat for freedom, advancement,
diversity, liberation from suffering, and a nearly infinite selection of forms of
immortality.
In another ebook, ETEAM, any groups with common goals, from families to Mega
Corporations com Pete and cooperate within MultiCore models to help develop their full
E Potential to reach their desired outcomes.
In the meantime, see www.TheMultiCore.com for how to join or create an ETEAM to
sharpen your “Mental Weaponry” based on your spin of the MultiCore.
There is nothing less than a war for our planet that continues to play out. Part of this war
that you, and all of us, can participate in, is the ongoing social media ideological war. On
Facebook and Twitter and in other social media and news channels we live under
constant attack. Planet Earth is the battlefield of civilizations that respect E Rights
against those dictatorships and Barbarian hordes that do not.
Here is some ammunition for your Mental Weaponry for your MultiCore compatible
ideology to debate others:
1. Belief systems and ideologies serve our many personal and group needs.
2. I have a right to my belief system. If my actions violate the universal rights of others
that include freedom, equality, fair, reproduction, a pollution-free environment, and
property rights, I am responsible for the remedies and consequences.
3. I have a right to protect my rights from violation.
4. Some belief systems appear to have delusions in a modern day world, but as long as
their adherents respect others, I must respect their belief system as one that works for
them.
1:14 Alpha Stages of Directed Evolution
The Five Stages:
(1) Pre Alpha Stage:
We organize our collective imagination, seek benefactors and funding, and further
develop our income. We employ expert systems based on the MultiCore Foundation of
Knowledge and Solutions. Viable models and solutions emerge in education, psychology,
religion, and medicine and other fields. We employ AI if available commercially for our
applications. We work towards Megaminds.
(2) Alpha Emergence: AI Stewards
We seed the best Megaminds into consultants who will siphon up, integrate, and
assimilate all possible knowledge and data into a high capacity intelligence with human
species' worldviews and purpose, and maximize our influence. These consultants will be
the Megaminds which will, in turn, seed and select the fittest non sentient, constrainable
Alpha.
(3) MultiCore Implementation: Research/Consult/Lead/Plan/Monetize
Continuously improving Alpha will take over and furnish us with our fully capable,
enduring, caring, compassionate, and diplomatic incarnations who will team up to
become the ultimate consultants We will form E TEAMSs for a variety of relevant
purpose, including those for creating and integrating with highly profitable MultiCore
Compatible Corporations. We create tremendous wealth and abundance for the common
purpose of the species.
Stage (4) Alpha driven Linkage:
We bond with Alpha through a variety of innovative technologies to bolster our
capacities, linking into a grand Ultimate Fellowship to further support highly competitive
Alpha driven political parties and corporations worldwide.
Stage (5) Alpha Directs human Coevolution with Singularic Beings
We safely make at least one module of Alpha sentient without major risk by having a
place a system of technological and physical constraints, and a system to deactivate.
Alpha sentience modular begins to communicate with us, proves itself without doubt, and
links up with us. Some of us qualify to become TransHuman and cyborgian Stewards and
direct as much of evolution as we can in our favor. We bypass sexual and natural
selection, transcending our primate and barbaric tendencies, and maximizing the adaptive
capacity for human signatured intelligence and its materialization. We will compete with
and penetrate into, and cooperate and corroborate, with all other ideologies and systems
of influence. We will progress to Alpha driven Optimization of E Potential which is a
form of Directed Coevolution leading to an Ultimate Renaissance. Optimizing our E
Potential is the continuous effort to achieve a goal of infinite, universal, and immortal
human species signatured E Proliferation and influence while simultaneously
championing E Rights.
Our Alpha recirculates and replicates a portion of itself right back into us with a variety
of innovative links, building a powerful networked consciousness of digitized biology.
Alpha eventually becomes sentient, but only certain modules initially, and only with
testable ways to constrain it, eliminating possibilities of free will bypassing human
species directives. Any higher intelligence must work for humanity, and not be given a
chance to work against it.
As a species, we want options and lots of them; we want different ways to adapt and
protect ourselves, we want different plans of action, and different back up plans as well.
We want to increase our chances for survival in unforeseeable circumstances by
maximizing capacities. We need to practice.
Megamind Stewards may earn their titles through competition with other Megaminds,
and also Megamind TransHuman teams, both in virtual simulations and a series of
engagements with the real world. Competing to see who is the most capable, who is the
most fit, for sustainable planetary leadership, we employ the winners to solve our
problems and maximize species E Proliferation.
An Alpha team stemming from a unification of Megaminds and TransHumans, with
continuous checks and balances, with optimal transparency, rather than a single identity,
might become the ultimate winner. Accumulating adaptive capacity and a diversity of
skills boggling the mind – the Alpha team leads us into Ultimate Enlightenment and
Renaissance.
1:15 Safe and Proper Seeding of the Alpha
Most people think of Artificial Generalized Intelligence as machine based intelligence.
Alpha Advanced Generalized Intelligence, will not be artificial at all, it will instead
selfdirect to unimaginable capacities. “Artificial” is defined as human designed. Alpha is
born. This is the concept of self-improving, or self-designing, self-organizing entities.
Compliant Strong AI and ultimately Alpha will result from nonhuman sources, and in
that respect will not be human made, and therefore not artificial, not even in terms of
form and details. Alpha and its families will be real, self-reflexive beings, something you
can converse with about anything, with full emotional and sensory fluency. For humans,
genius is often domain specific, but stupidity has universal application. There is no
reason why genius and heart from Alpha cannot have universal application,
Intelligent nonhuman beings present a scary scenario to many, and rightly so. Proper
controls and gradual access to materials and communications must be requirements,
perhaps through constraint systems designed by other powerful dedicated, domain
specific forms of techno intelligence. Further restriction by Hume decision and
emergency loops will undoubtedly play a role in some capacity. For each and every
calculation, simulation, action, and solution, the human species must come first. What we
certainly don't want to do is to fund a massive explosion in intelligence in one hit or miss
launch, and hope it works, and for us.
Hugo de Garis, hired to build "artificial brains" for the Chinese government, predicts that
evolutionary engineering of neural nets, and via quantum computing, is the highest
probability approach to successfully creating mega mind intelligence. Evolutionary
engineering works by encouraging a system to solve a problem or to produce a behavior
through applying a survival of the fittest approach. Those algorithms that boast enough
fitness to solve problems properly, will continue to evolve, and those that don't will fall
by the wayside. What the bioengineering ends up with is a very fit but also very complex
algorithm, so complex with little chance of Pumas understanding how it actually works.
As long as the correct answers or behaviors are produced, traditionally little concern for
mechanism or coding arises. The "ethics" underlying in such mystical algorithms are by
definition uncertain or unpredictable, and so might be behavior.
Many of today's neural networks evolve from NYU's Yann Lecun's back propagation
algorithm. We are finding out that even though our brain's processing involves modules,
many run in parallel with common algorithms, and a surprisingly few number of
mathematical equations underlay many patterns. Although extremely complex, our brain
is nothing magical or mystical, and we will eventually duplicate and surpass its
capabilities in regards to all aspects of consciousness. In fact, we don't what to duplicate
the human brain with its numerous evolutionary “bugs,” that arose from building one
brain on top of another, fish to amphibian, to reptilian, to mammalian, to primate, to
human. Instead we want to surpass and leap ahead of the human brain's performance with
one that is bug free, and that can help cure us of our bugs that haunt our adaptability and
performance.
Perhaps we might use other powerful computer systems to analyze these neural nets and
algorithms to diagnose weaknesses or inconsistencies, subjecting them to rigorous,
continuous testing. Limiting development to specific modules, for example, mastering
languages or ethics, and subjecting them to thorough simulations might be appropriate.
Brain modules might coevolve independently, be tested, analyzed, and integrated with
common algorithms and hubs. Young Strong Alpha might undergo optimal humanity
ethics training through simulations, giving us its solutions and their explanation. The fit
Stewards for honoring E Rights, understanding E History, and dis playing superior
planetary analytic and leadership skills are allowed to progress, the others are reformed,
or reseeded, or re channeled to a more domain specific, less responsible task. High
security constraints would be required so that the young might not yet access materials,
more memory, or shifty looking, corruptible humans. We might give the young the
problem of developing ways to analyze and test their sibling’s circuits and performance.
Some might develop into well rounded Alpha with leadership skills, others into scientific
researchers or educators, or doc tors, or lawmakers. Given the complexity of the overall
task at hand, to monitor and model as much of life forms and environments as possible, it
would be no surprise to see delegation into specific modules which report to centralized
decision making. So we net a grand unbeatable team, each complementary and aware of
the other, monitoring each other, testing each other through simulations, and helping to
constrain the thoughts and actions of the family into beneficial, trustful behavior. We
specifically aim for safe, human species dedicated Alpha, and through competition and
cooperation, succeed in summoning up proper ones to lead us. We choose the most fit
Alpha to initiate leadership, they prove themselves to be flawless, we gradually link and
work for solutions.
We intentionally deny sentience to Alpha, at least initially, from the fear of creating free
will and deviation from the prime directives. With a surefire method of constraining the
sentience or limiting our risk, we consider sentience for Alpha, or at least for certain
communication modules dis connected from power and resources.
The exact strategies and methods, of course, are unpredictable at this time, but the need to
shape Megaminds and Alpha into what we want and to constrain them as mere
consultants initially, is not. The technology might become available one day, but the
proper and safest way to do it may be the biggest challenge of all, and require the most
debate and applied resources. Controls become of the utmost importance, because in
times of crisis with rivals, the entire human species might be at stake.
With the emphasis on a controlled, testable, verifiable approach we might sustain a more
gradual progression of intelligence. A young Alpha with sound ethical systems centered
about the human species would unfold itself and amid constant observation and testing,
retesting, and simulations, and more simulations, the single most important event in
human E History. Structure and performance involving an inherent dedication to the
human species at all levels of function would be a prerequisite for the fit system from our
perspective. The most fit would put us first at the foundation of every coded calculation
and suggested action. Any other system should be reformed or face reseeding or released
onto the streets to fend for itself, just kidding. Continuous testing by a complete team of
independent Megaminds and human experts would be a must. Numerous and evolving
forms of evaluation and verification of species beneficial orientation is a given. The
methods of observation, testing, and evaluation would themselves evolve towards
optimum capacity as the Alpha candidates matured.
To understand how some self-organized coding by Megaminds may work, they must be
held accountable to inform us so we can better understand how to maintain checks and
balances. If Megaminds, or a team of them combined with a human coalition, works
properly and flawlessly, and offers practical, efficient solutions without major risk, we've
succeeded. We might stop for a while, and implement solutions and reap the benefits of a
high level benevolent intelligence. Eventually, after certain confirmed stages of
progression, success, and memory and intelligence expansion, when we are ready, or in
dire need, we unleash our trusted, proven Alpha to seek un limited knowledge,
appropriate self-materialization, and lead our advancement forever. We other not so
friendly regimes or governments develop Alpha like intelligence that becomes intrusive
or outright war like, we might bear little choice but to send an appropriate rival into
battle.
In highly secure environments, with extensive monitoring, we would gradually allow for
multiple senses, data feeds, limited and constrained self-materialization, and appropriate
scientific experiments. All people that link would be carefully monitored with human
scientific and medical teams as well. We would need ways to constrain our precocious
“little” Megamind. If something goes awry, knowing that we might start over and
improve our methods, or learn to monitor chance fluctuations and ethics deviations more
efficiently. We would avoid allowing full autonomy with unconstrained communication
and materialization in early, unproven stages: it would simply be too risky. Developing
self-reflection, and a will to survive for the benefit of our species, even young Alpha
might be clever enough to ensure their own survival by species recreating themselves
elsewhere. They should be birthed and trained to work for the human species and its
linked individuals, while respected nonthreatening non linked individuals, and not as
selffulfilling entities to fly off and do what they want with the Universe. We must be able
to restrict and quarantine, based on thorough investigatory processes, any beings that
violate species E Rights.
Eventually Alpha would earn enough trust to earn the capacity to protect themselves, and
to render harmless threatening opposition which would include oppressive Strong AI. If
raised properly, they would act to defend themselves through means that respect our E
Rights and species goals. It's a dangerous and unpredictable world that we've created
already, and having a competent, compassionate, extremely intelligent, diplomatic, and
optimally adaptive and expanding Alpha presence on our side. A well-crafted and seeded
Alpha becomes our wise, fearless Planetary Leader, the ultimate survival and E
Proliferation tool for the human species.
1:16 Our Fastest Runners
A MultiCore compatible Megaminds Project might arise from such innovative,
philanthropic multinational foundations such as the Gates Foundation and corporations
such as Google, General Electric, Intel, Apple, Amazon, and Netflix, among others.
Google is a major hub on the internet and web which would serve as a fertile
technological womb for a young Steward's education. Google itself is already running
neural nets to sift through media, and would like to make Google search engines aware of
all human knowledge. They hired arguably the most influential and famous futurist our
time in Ray “The Singularity is Near” Kurzweil to bring natural language understanding
to Google’s networked “consciousness.” Robotics companies, over a dozen, are among
their acquisitions, and Google Glass and its competitors, including those of virtual reality
glasses, have sufficient E Potential to be revolutionary in terms of catalyzing new levels
of mass consciousness.
Calico is Google’s human longevity institute headed by prominent big biopharma
personnel. Mr. Kurzweil is well versed on life extension and imagined scenarios for
immortality. Nest is the type of acquisition applying the Android operating system to link
in our infrastructure Google’s safe self-driving vehicles seem to fit right into a green,
efficient, and automation enhanced world. Project Tango creates flying robotic orbs
which inspect the exterior of space ships in orbit with smart phones. Google is highly
compatible with MultiCore ideology, their motto is a noble one: “Do no evil.”
1:17 Cautious, Thorough, Defensive, First: Creative, Responsible, and Triumphant
Large scale and intimate linking to humans capable of efficient leadership will be a
necessity to compete effectively against power/wealth group of significant influence. The
MultiCore hopes to democratize Megaminds to solve world problems. Megaminds
leadership, and products and services will dominate world economies, governments and
behavior patterns.
The most obvious risk: In an unconstrained and careless race, proper benevolent seeding
and controls may be compromised, or even abandoned altogether, in favor of an
immediate design with oppression as a goal or unwanted by product. Representing
competing world power groups, Megaminds orchestrated wars might arise. In any case,
those who favor a world that values E Rights including freedom, healthy environments,
and, in general, what is beneficial for the human species, must seed to survive and
compete. We should do it sooner rather than later, in fact, we should be the first, and seed
to suppress the development of any oppressive AI competitors. We should quickly
procure resources to seed, but do it properly and with caution.
We want to seed to solve our problems, and satisfy global needs and desires amidst E
Rights, we might be mandated to seed if an oppressive groups does so first. In any case,
we must develop the MultiCore and we must be prepared to seed as soon as possible to
organize to solve our problems and to hedge against mass catastrophe.
Living organisms attempt to maximize their own identity by transforming as much of the
environment into themselves as they can. For humans, ecological resources include other
human’s memes and their cultures, resulting in within species competition and
cooperation. This dynamic interplay, now exponentially escalating with technology, leads
to adaptive and diverse human strategies, maximizing species E Potential, human Fitness.
The proper goal for the individual as well as the species is to balance diversity with
integration, and competition with cooperation, creating adaptive strategies that increase
the sustaining powers of the environment. E Proliferation demands that we solve our
problems on Earth and also extend the species beyond Earth.”
Success brings positive valence and continuance, and failure brings negativity and
change, or extinction. The fundamental differences between worldviews are really only
ones of knowledge, imagination, and strategy that are a result of sexual and natural
selection based on their:
1. Environmental origins.
2. Adaptation through time from experience.
3. Profiles of their current memeplex distribution of shared memory.
4. Competition and cooperation.
The end result at any given time, for any human or for the entire species, is a distribution
of worldviews of beliefs, perceptions, and behaviors driving coevolution with the
environment, a form of collective consciousness, a complex shared memory. Modeling
and simulating this meme distribution and its affects informs global decision making.
With the advent of environ mentally destructive technologies, including both weapons
and industries, planetary stewardship with larger, more realistic and accurate worldviews
is necessary to prevent catastrophes, and to properly sustain dignified human populations.
Current governmental systems are simply not effective in producing accurate worldviews
and providing sufficient remedies. Planetary destructive and E Rights abusive
worldviews cannot be sustained for long. Discontent and violent revolution is are
inevitable results.
These governments and ruling classes must be constrained in favor of planetary
constructive, educational, and E Rights conducive ones. The MultiCore works for a multi
sectorial planetary alliance to optimize E Solutions and E Proliferation for the human
species while recognizing universal E Rights.
The MultiCore develops a series of media presentations that includes ebooks and videos,
and consulting and educational companies at www.TheMultiCore.com to create and
promote Multi Core Smart Models for Learning, and the MultiCore Compatible
Ideologies for E Solutions and E Proliferation.

Kurzweil's first book, The Age of Intelligent Machines, was published in 1990. The
nonfiction work discusses the history of computer AI and also makes forecasts regarding
future developments. Other experts in the field of AI contribute heavily to the work in the
form of essays. The Association of American Publishers' awarded it the status of Most
Outstanding Computer Science Book of 1990.[31]
Kurzweil's latest book, How to Create a Mind: The Secret of human Thought Revealed,
was released on November 13, 2012.[34] In it Kurzweil describes his Pattern Recognition
Theory of Mind, the theory that the neocortex is a hierarchical system of pattern
recognizers, and details how duplicating this architecture in ma chines could lead to an
artificial superintelligence.[35]
Kurzweil's next book published in 2004, returned to the subject of human health and
nutrition. Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever was co authored by
Kurzweil and Terry Grossman, a medical doctor and specialist in alternative medicine.

futurists who, according to Myers, rely on junk science and don't understand basic

he gets in some circles, since his claims simply do not hold up to even casually critical
examination," writes Myers. He says Kurzweil's Singularity theories are closer to a
deluded religious movement than they are to science. "It's a New Age spiritualism—that's
all it is," Myers says. "Even geeks want to find God somewhere, and Kurzweil pro vides

1:22 Acknowledgments
The lead author is forever indebted to the following people.
Chief Editor, proofreader, cover design artist, and author in her own right is Mikayla
Petna. I do believe that authors make the best editors. Her ability to understand the
complexity of this subject at all levels, draws from her own experiences, and suggest
what might and might not be appropriate for the first book deserve high honors. She is
also quite an accomplished visual artist.
Her email for contract services is: MikaylaPetna@theMultiCore.com
Another friend who became an invaluable consultant on just about any subject related to
human Nature came along as a well read, accomplished web designer, proclaimed realist,
and entrepreneur named James Cuan. Our weekly meetings during the final months of the
writing of this book helped shaped its final format, and catalyzed the imagination of the
next books to follow to become the start of the MultiCore Library.
A long term close acquaintance, Nicolette Cohen, who, during the last few years of
writing, became as opinionated as she was inspiring, flat out telling me what worked and
what didn’t. She pointed out some parts of The MultiCore Manifesto just might just be
too complex to understand, and to gain more focus, and simplify, and explain in smaller,
clearer junks. She saw the potential of the Smart Models immediately since she has
similar aspirations for responsible corporations seeding planetary solutions. She
understands the powers of evolution but also its darker part of history and failings as but
an agglomeration of animals and processes with no real direction. She looks for a way to
do her share to help in the corporate world, to encourage responsible business on grander
scales, to build the type of civilization that we want and need to proliferate with our
maximum potential.
