From the Sin ularit Movie
GNR to make a better life and world
Humanity is fast approaching an era in which ourintelligence will become increasingly merged withcomputers and trillions of times more powerful.
This will be the dawning of a new civilization,enabling us to transcend our biologicallimitations.
,real and virtual. Human aging and illness arereversed, world hunger and poverty are solved,and we cure death.

Life After the Sin ularit The bulk of our experiences will shiftfrom real reality
to virtual reality Most of the intelligence of our civilization will ultimately
be nonbiological, which by the end of this century willbe trillions of trillions of times more powerful thanhuman intelligence
However, this does not imply the end of biologicalbeings, even if thrown from its perch of evolutionary
superiority [Kurzweil expects the rise of hybrid humans]forms will be derivative of our biological design In other words, our civilization will remain human,
indeed in many ways more exemplary of what weregard as human than it is today, although our

The Voice of Technolo The body, this mass of biomolecules, is a machine
that acts according to a set of specifiable rules... Weare mac nes, as are our spouses, our c ren, an
our dogs... I believe myself and my children all to bemere machines. [Rod Brooks, Director of CS-AIL, MIT.] The neural code is the software whereby the brain
rans orms raw sensory a a n o percep ons,memories, decisions, and meanings. [John HorganScience Writer and Author of Rational Mysticism]
The more we learn about our brains, the more ways wew n o mprove em. ur er a vances, nopart of the brain will be out of bounds forattaching new accessories. In the end, we will findways to replace every part of the body and brain
make our lives so brief. Needless to say, in doingso, we'll be making ourselves into machines.[Marvin Minsky, Director of MIT Media Lab]

Minsk : on Soul and S irit Many thinkers firmly maintain that machines will never
have thoughts like ours, because no matter how we buildem, ey a ways ac some v a ngre en .
They call this essence by various names--like sentience,consciousness, spirit, or soul. Philosophers write entirebooks to prove that, because of this deficiency, machinescan never ee or un erstan t e sorts o t ngs t atpeople do.
However, every proof in each of those books is flawed byassuming, in one way or another, the thing that itpurports to prove--t e ex stence o some mag caspark that has no detectable properties.
I have no patience with such arguments. We should not be searchin for an sin le missin art.

Where is Our Memor ? Dr. Paul Pearsall contends that the
heart thinks, feels, remembers, andcommunicates with other hearts
An 8-yr. girl received the heart of a10-yr. girl who had been murdered.
the murderer was.
Police notified who were able to track
him down by following the girls
evidence she had provided
Clues about: the time, the weapon, theplace, the clothes he wore, etc.
Everything the girl said was true Does the transplanted heart take with
it its etheric heart and its memories?

What ou have done to the mineral world asses intothe very atoms and does not vanish without a trace.Every such atom bears a trace of your spirit and will
carry this trace with it. Whether an atom has at some time been in a

When the similarity of substance between the thoughtand the atom is once comprehended, the way to get

made upon the general consciousness of mankind.
Ever thin that is erformed without re ard to selfthat is connected with the interests of another, helps tointensify and to strengthen our consciousness in
the future struggles for existence. You build a church for others, not for yourself.
Whatever is achieved in the way of development ofconsciousness in the world does something to further
