“Using Virtual Reality to transition to a Transhuman Singularity.
The goal is encourage individuals & groups to meet & share experience.”
“A comparison of the results from each iteration virtual worlds & games may provide insight for real world transitional paths to the Transhuman Singularity.”
First Premise:
“The global transition to the Singularity is important to existing humanity because the status of the world & humanity at the Singularity point will influence the nature of what comes after.”
Second Premise:
“Virtual Reality Worlds & Games can be used as a modeling tool to explore the ramifications of multiple paths to the Transhuman Singularity.”
“We must make the shift to a new paradigm as a species, while continuing to respect our individuality.”
There is a complex warp and woof to humanity. If we don’t love and respect ourselves then don’t expect any AGIs to do so either.
Max More, in “Transhumanism: Towards a Futurist Philosophy”, writes:
“Transhumanism differs from humanism in recognizing and anticipating the radical alterations in the nature and possibilities of our lives resulting from various sciences and technologies such as neuroscience and neuropharmacology, life extension, nanotechnology, artificial ultraintelligence, and space habitation, combined with a rational philosophy & value system.”
