Synthetic Super Intelligence and the Transmutation of Humankind

Synthetic Super Intelligence and the Transmutation of Humankind
These Smart Cities, as the plans go, will be populated with a new
human species that are cyborgs—half human and half machine and infested
with AI. The remaining fully biological humans, who refuse to be part of
the Singularity, can’t live in these cities by default—they will be outcasts.
Life in those cities will be so different from life outside the cities that based
on our human standards of ethics and morals, you and I would find
ourselves in a nightmare if we lived in them, side by side with a great
number of super-intelligent hive-minded cyborgs. We wouldn’t be able to
intellectually function there. The goal is to make cyborgs a billion times
more intelligent than the most intelligent human who has ever lived (more
about this later). There is no place for biological humans in this synthetic
environment.
The Venus Project is heavily sugar-coating its vision; particularly
mentioning George Orwell’s 1984 and the Terminator movies as fearful
propaganda, but the Venus Project is, on the other hand, promoting what it
calls a Cybernetic Government, where everything is computerized and highly
technological. Remember, this is the foundation for the cyborg society, and
it’s planned in a manner that will be more or less self-sufficient, overseen
by a highly advanced computer network.
We have all seen the science-fiction movies, usually set far out in the
future, and having futuristic city models. The new Smart Cities will look
very similar to the ones we’re already used to seeing in these kind of movies;
we have been well-prepared and programmed, so that nothing seems to
stand out as being entirely new; instead people will have an inner
recognition when they see pictures of those Smart Cities, and they will have
an epiphany, where they might say, “Ah, I’ve seen similar cities before.
They were in (so and so) movie!” The architecture will already be familiar
to the population in general.
Moreover, the Venus Project suggests that people in desert areas will
be living underground. There will even be cities in the sea; something that’s
also presented by the Venus Project, and it shows pictures of these cities on
their website, https://www.tvpmagazine.com/2015/04/the-venus-projecttechnologies).
The presentation of the Venus Project is, in my opinion, also a test of
how well we can use our discernment. Many of those who go through the
