Humanity evolving

The new world- inclusive of all, non-monetary/gift culture, truly consensus-based, valuing peace, sustainable and respectful of the planet, basic needs met where the community looks at its health as a whole without individual competition... all of this was a short experiment for many of us in the occupy movement.

Having that shared experience began conversations on things I never considered as possible in the near future. At the same time, I was journaling about something I felt- with intuition- was coming.

Josh maurice (joshmaurice) Josh Maurice's Other Blog. Singularitarianism. Singularitarianism is a technocentric ideology and social movement defined by the belief that a technological singularity—the creation of superintelligence—will likely happen in the medium future, and that deliberate action ought to be taken to ensure that the Singularity benefits humans.

Singularitarians are distinguished from other futurists who speculate on a technological singularity by their belief that the Singularity is not only possible, but desirable if guided prudently. Accordingly, they might sometimes dedicate their lives to acting in ways they believe will contribute to its rapid yet safe realization.[1] Some critics argue that Singularitarianism is a new religious movement promising salvation in a technological utopia.[3] Others are concerned that the interest in the Singularity by corporate and military interests provides a clue as to the real direction and social implication of emerging technologies celebrated by Singularitarians.[4] Etymology[edit] History[edit]

Category:Novels by Arthur C. Clarke. Childhood's End. Childhood's End is a 1953 science fiction novel by the British author Arthur C. Clarke. The story follows the peaceful alien invasion[1] of Earth by the mysterious Overlords, whose arrival begins decades of apparent utopia under indirect alien rule, at the cost of human identity and culture. Clarke's idea for the book began with his short story "Guardian Angel" (1946), which he expanded into a novel in 1952, incorporating it as the first part of the book, "Earth and the Overlords".

Completed and published in 1953, Childhood's End sold out its first printing, received good reviews, and became Clarke's first successful novel. The book is often regarded by both readers and critics as Clarke's best novel,[2] and is described as "a classic of alien literature".[3] Along with The Songs of Distant Earth (1986), Clarke considered Childhood's End one of his favourite novels.[4] Plot summary[edit] Earth and the Overlords[edit] The Golden Age[edit] The Last Generation[edit] Publication history[edit]

The Light of Other Days. The Light of Other Days is a 2000 science fiction novel written by Stephen Baxter based on a synopsis by Arthur C. Clarke,[1] which explores the development of wormhole technology to the point where information can be passed instantaneously between points in the space-time continuum. Plot summary[edit] The wormhole technology is first used to send digital information via gamma rays, then developed further to transmit light waves. The media corporation that develops this advance can spy on anyone anywhere it chooses. A logical development from the laws of space-time allows light waves to be detected from the past. This enhances the wormhole technology into a "time viewer" where anyone opening a wormhole can view people and events from any point throughout time and space.

One of the central themes of the novel is that history is biased towards viewpoints of the person who wrote it.

Clarke. It is the fourth and final book in Clarke's Space Odyssey series. Plot summary[edit] During the 26th century, the remains of an alien monolith had been found in the Olduvai Gorge in East Africa (the one that had kickstarted human evolution). It's said that TMA-1, the black monolith that had been found on the Moon in 1999, was brought to Earth in 2006 and then installed in front of the United Nations Building in New York City. Just as the humans feared, the monolith does indeed receive orders to exterminate humankind, and it begins to duplicate itself many hundreds of millions of times over.

These millions of monoliths assemble themselves into two separate screens in front of the Sun to prevent all light and heat from reaching the Earth and its colonies. At the close of the story, Poole and the other humans land on Europa and attempt to start peaceful relations with the primitive native Europans.
