<strong>Syn<strong>the</strong>tic</strong> <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Intelligence</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Transmutation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Humankind</strong><br />

consciousness will more <strong>and</strong> more be replaced with artificial consciousness.<br />

As we can see, <strong>the</strong>re are many slightly different outlooks into <strong>the</strong> future by<br />

those who have <strong>the</strong> technological means to solidify <strong>the</strong>ir visions, but all <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>m have one thing in common; <strong>the</strong>y want to replace Homo sapiens<br />

sapiens as <strong>the</strong> center <strong>of</strong> creation <strong>and</strong> evolution. To <strong>the</strong> uninformed, <strong>the</strong><br />

information McKeown just gave us is meant to trigger hope in <strong>the</strong> readers,<br />

wishfully making <strong>the</strong>m think that <strong>the</strong>y can live with <strong>the</strong>ir loved ones<br />

forever in a digital but very-real appearing syn<strong>the</strong>tic version <strong>of</strong> “reality;”<br />

this being <strong>the</strong> next best thing to having <strong>the</strong> original person <strong>the</strong>re in <strong>the</strong> first<br />

place. Also, it gets people used to <strong>the</strong> idea that once <strong>the</strong> SBC is in place,<br />

nothing that was once programmed into its memory bank will ever be<br />

erased. Everything a person ever thought <strong>and</strong> learned will be stored—<br />

including <strong>the</strong>ir entire personality. Thus, it is <strong>the</strong>refore a given that even if<br />

an accident happened to a cyborg—an accident bad enough to destroy it<br />

(forcing <strong>the</strong> soul, mind, <strong>and</strong> spirit body finally to leave <strong>the</strong> cyborg trap)—<br />

that person’s mind is still cloned into <strong>the</strong> SBC, is forever activated, <strong>and</strong> can<br />

be enlivened. We also need to keep in mind here that <strong>the</strong> Overlords want<br />

us to merge our minds in virtual realities that <strong>the</strong> collective mind <strong>of</strong><br />

Posthuman is creating continuously (<strong>and</strong> I would add, with not-so-littlehelp<br />

from <strong>the</strong> Overlords <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Emissaries).<br />

As strange as it may seem to some readers, I am convinced that <strong>the</strong><br />

average scientist who works on bringing about <strong>the</strong> Singularity has<br />

humankind’s best interests in mind. However, those higher up <strong>the</strong> ladder<br />

certainly don’t, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>se shady people know much more than we do about<br />

consciousness <strong>and</strong> metaphysics, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>y can successfully use it against us.<br />

How <strong>the</strong> <strong>Super</strong>-Rich Want to Buy Immortality<br />

F<br />

rom what I have observed, children <strong>of</strong> super-rich families<br />

develop in three different stages. The first stage is that <strong>of</strong> excitement<br />

<strong>and</strong> a willingness to buy <strong>the</strong> whole world. The person buys ultraexpensive<br />

cars, houses, vacation homes, palaces, yachts, <strong>and</strong> perhaps ships.<br />

Moreover, he or she will probably travel around <strong>the</strong> world, make friends<br />

with <strong>the</strong> super-rich in o<strong>the</strong>r parts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world, <strong>and</strong> enjoy himself or herself<br />

by arranging parties, going to o<strong>the</strong>r rich people’s parties, experiencing as<br />
