Some 600 Million Years ago:
The Cambric Boost
|
|
|
The main idea of this chapter will be
similarities between the cambric explosion of animal
species about 600 million years ago and the imminent
creation of social organisms made up of computers and
humans.

ABIONECO: similarities between neural and
organizational information processing |
For almost
3 billion years, life on earth had consisted mainly of
sluggish plants and various form of unicellular beings.
It is not yet clear why about 600 million years ago life
began to burst into a new era with the rapid evolution of
multicellular animals. |

|
The
atmosphere`s constitution and the chemical make-up of the
ocean water are two suspected parameters. |
|
|
It will
soon be argued on this site that it was the invention of
the nerve cell that enabled life on earth to take another
leap on the ladder of complexity. |
|
|
Will cities or large
companies soon be endowed with consciousness?
|
|
Some more animations and
sketches on the idea of neural companies |
And it
will also be argued that history will repeat itself with
humans taking the role of ordinary cells and computers
emulating nerve-cells. |
|
|
Networked human brains
in boxes are being tended by trained monkeys and other
humans: altogether unthinkable?

|
A possible future of humans as hybrid
bio-silicose beings |
