Chapter 4: Ray Kurzweil’s Singularity<br />

as a forerunner to <strong>the</strong> SBC. The Internet helps <strong>the</strong> AI scientists (<strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Overlords) to collect information on us. They want to know how we think,<br />

how we react in relation to each o<strong>the</strong>r on a global scale <strong>and</strong> across different<br />

cultures, what <strong>the</strong> collective is most interested in <strong>and</strong> why, how many are<br />

“awake,” <strong>and</strong> how much we know about different subjects. Of course, <strong>the</strong>se<br />

are just a few examples.<br />

The purpose with <strong>the</strong> Internet is to study human behavior.<br />

It doesn’t matter so much what it is we put on <strong>the</strong> Internet; in essence,<br />

<strong>the</strong> Controllers are closely monitoring it in order to learn more about us as<br />

a social complex. They are not monitoring us because <strong>the</strong>y want to eliminate<br />

people who are figuring things out—usually <strong>the</strong>y don’t care about that—<br />

<strong>the</strong>y just want to know how much we know <strong>and</strong> how much we don’t know<br />

as a collective. This is why most people get away with what <strong>the</strong>y’re<br />

publishing on <strong>the</strong> Internet, unless someone gets in possession <strong>of</strong> <strong>and</strong> is<br />

posting some classified material that can be used as evidence against <strong>the</strong><br />

planners. They may also take actions if we do something else that means<br />

we’re stepping on <strong>the</strong>ir toes. The st<strong>and</strong>ard operating procedure in <strong>the</strong> first<br />

case is to eliminate <strong>the</strong> person, if possible, or threaten him or her by<br />

targeting <strong>the</strong> person’s family or friends. The solution in <strong>the</strong> latter case is to<br />

send in <strong>the</strong> trolls.<br />

Ultimately, in a couple <strong>of</strong> decades or so, <strong>the</strong> data <strong>the</strong> Controllers have<br />

ga<strong>the</strong>red on us will be included in <strong>the</strong> SBC as collective data from <strong>the</strong><br />

human mass consciousness. Once <strong>the</strong> Controllers have finished this project<br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Singularity is in place, <strong>the</strong> Internet will cease to exist, as well as<br />

most computers in general. They are no longer necessary because people<br />

will have all <strong>the</strong> Internet information available to <strong>the</strong>m inside <strong>the</strong>ir brains.<br />

All <strong>the</strong>y need to do is to download whatever information <strong>the</strong>y want from<br />

<strong>the</strong> SBC, <strong>and</strong> this will happen instantly; no more slow or disrupted Internet<br />

connections. Anything can be accessed immediately <strong>and</strong> electronically from<br />

<strong>the</strong> SBC. In addition, each individual will <strong>the</strong>n add to <strong>the</strong> SBC database<br />

with his or her knowledge on a regular basis as he or she continues learning<br />

new things in life. The learning process, by <strong>the</strong> way, will be unimaginably<br />

faster because each individual will download already existing information<br />

on any subject that is collected in <strong>the</strong> mass consciousness; everything from<br />

highly advanced scientific data <strong>and</strong> information to <strong>the</strong> most mundane<br />

thoughts <strong>and</strong> ideas. This is what Kurzweil means when he talks about us<br />

learning a billion times faster; we have access to everybody’s thoughts<br />
