different from this cellular-automaton system. The difference is a detailed difference. This brainlike neural network was produced by the long history of civilization, whereas the cellular automaton was created by my computer in the last microsecond. The problem of abstract AI i...

9.6 Body and Mind 175 9.6.2.2 Implications for AGI What lesson should the AGI developer draw from all this? The particularities of the human mind/body should not be taken as general requirements for general intelligence. However, it is worth remembering just how difficult is th...
In the past decade, genetic engineering has caught up with computer science with regard to how new scientific initiatives are shaping our lives. Genetic engineer George Church, a pioneer of the revolution in reading and writing biology, is central to this new landscape of ideas....
Morality Games 313 development of sexual selection theory, one might have argued that perfect spheres are some kind of Platonic solid, and inherently desirable, or that curvy hips yield golden ratios. But with our current understanding of sexual selection, we recognize that our...
of dopamine. Later, these same subjects imagined what it would be like to actually vacation in these places, and rated their imagined experience. Those on L-dopa felt they would be much happier, revealing the power of dopamine to cause changes in our experience of reward. Complim...
What is the relevance of this to the story of the social nature of humankind? Our research findings have led me to believe that we all have made Eddington’s error in the way we have thought about, studied, and tried to deal with an invisible force that motivates us to seek and ma...
von Neumann and others on computers came directly not from Turing Machines but through this bypath of neural networks. But simple neural networks didn’t do much. Frank Rosenblatt invented a learning device he called the perceptron, which was a one-layer neural network. In the la...

between points is also an act of drawing a line around those points. It is not simply that we’re enmeshed in networks now; no, we're enclosed even entrapped by them. If the great ambition of Cecil Rhodes’ era was for the expansive conquest of territory, in our own it is for the c...
You can show this in children’s everyday learning, too. Young children rapidly learn abstract intuitive theories of biology, physics, and psychology in much the way adult scientists do, even with relatively little data. The remarkable machine-learning accomplishments of the rece...
tt setting for the spiritual work toward that promised in John “...that you love one another; even as | have loved you, that you also love one another.” In contrast with what has been described in previous chapters as the entheogenic drug-induced transitions to a spiritual mind...
Even the bright red line for human manipulation of human beings shows many signs of moving or breaking completely. More than 2,300 approved clinical trials for gene therapy are in progress worldwide. A major medical goal is the treatment or prevention of cognitive decline, especi...

from kuber- to guber—the root of “gubernatorial” and “governor,” another term for masculine control, deployed by James Watt to describe his 19th-century device for modulating a runaway steam engine. Cybernetics thus took ideas that had long analogized people and devices and gener...
