Trans-Intelligence
VERSUS Humanity
Kurzweil & Harari versus Hawkins & Lanier
From Delirium Sapiens To Delirium Deus
or vice-versa
Dr. Jacques COULARDEAU
Four
names, four men – and no women – but a crucial stake in the heart of our
vampiric future history. Ray Kurzweil, the dystopic businessman. Yuval Noah
Harari, the self-proclaimed Biblical prophet of the next apocalypse. Jeff
Hawkins, the neurobiologist in continuation of Bertrand Russell. Jaron Lanier,
the musician turned computer scientist. From the superficiality of
transhumanism to the depth of human creativity.
The
choice is yours. Enjoy it.
But
take some fruit juice along in case you might get slightly thirsty for relief
and escape. Transhumanism is a dystopia but in no way a curse or our fate. We
can control the future.
Abstract:
The debate
about transhumanism is twisted end crooked right now because it states, or it
assumes man's intelligence, or man's intellect power will not develop, I mean
will not grow, no matter what. Man is inventing machines that are always more
powerful and always more "intelligent", and man's intelligence would
not be able to follow their own creation and become more intelligent and keep
these machines under their control.
This assumption
is absurd and it is nothing but the modern rewriting of the Book of Revelation
or the apocalypse seen by various Old Testament visionary minds that some call
prophets. Man's intellect has no limits and its development will surprise even
the most skeptical people in twenty years.
