Nah, get out of bed, get the day started, and put a little cream in your morning coffee.

Getting into the nitty gritty of cloud computation logistics for my current coursework. I've been waiting forever for this.

Cloud computing (in theory and practice) is very interesting. I am reading a book right now that takes it to a whole different level, philosophically. Not certain how far the author will take it, but he rarely disappoints with his ambition. The concept of cloud and swarms and massively distributed architecture - whether at storage or compute layer - is fascinating and has some bewildering ramifications. Image applying it to a neural network - a real biological one - people. Like the Borg or a hive mind - but where each node retains free will. What would happen if everyone had access to collective human knowledge at processing speed, not Google, but usable in real time computation. And then have it paired with reason? Would there be filters? Who would control them? Hmmm...

This is your whacking material , isn't it?

Viewmaster in one hand and mini-Belgie in the other. Nice.

Edit: funny juxtaposition if these two posts back to back. Haha.

Hey. Ya know, now that you don't have an F30 anymore, your username kind of sounds like you are mocking them.

If what you say comes to pass, then we will have a fully comprehensive biological infrastructure of every possible physiological action and drive.

I'd say at that point, reason and free will become factors of subjectivity, given the intrusions and power placed in the hands of the controlling authority.

THAT is precisely what I was driving at/wondering about. At what speed and ubiquity does the combination of knowledge (storage) and reason (computation) erase the distinction completely and make will, basically, obsolete. When Aristotle said that Good is but doing the rational, could this be that in a way? That architects of the app (the computational logic) becomes God? His will becomes the collective human will? Morality becomes being bug-free and executing the program properly? Hehe. Weird. Not that I think this would happen in a pure form, but some aspect of it will and, in some ways, has. When we add a word to the dictionary, we are canonizing collective will and making convention into law. Accelerate this by orders of magnitude and apply to more than definitions of words and you are starting to get it. Google has a similar effect - the masses determine what is Right. Now, look at the collective wisdom of the masses and decide whether you think this is good or bad.

Reminds me of the mantra that the townsfolk went by in Hot Fuzz; "for the greater good".

Scary, isn't it? Ideally, that will most likely be an inevitable aspect of good and evil, because the rationale of the masses will become a tangible component of justice, something which has never been a possibility.

You never know the reason behind why actions are taken. However, with appropriate neurological resources, "appropriate" determinations can be made. Makes a lie detector test look like it was developed from a soda can, or something.

My thing is this: how will the demographics morph over time regarding moral will and right and wrong? Because if you consider that being the future of our "psychological cloud" given the direction the youth are moving in these days, we may have to extract fragments of thought process from the more poignant thinkers of our time (such as yourself) to preserve.

Yeah, I tend to get pretty deep sometimes.

I will answer this with a picture.
Fortunately (heh) we will blow ourselves up/destroy the planet long before this would happen. If you read "the bell curve" it will depress you even more. Because the input to the "collective human will generator" will be of increasingly poor quality. But, this is all a mental exercise anyway. I don't think we'll get that far.
