The point is that the Global Brain (a higher distributed intelligence produced by human/machine interactions via the medium of the Internet) could not be produced in a centralized fashion. If we experienced a future in a global dictatorship, the Global Brain wouldn't emerge. I actually don't even know how such a regime could stabilize itself on such a large scale. If a Global Brain emerges, it will be because of complete decentralization. I'll be detailing this very clearly in parts 3 and 4 especially. Thanks, I appreciate the consideration :)I don't see how it makes a big brother senario less likely
I am intersted in the research and will seriously consider donating.
Ah, so the point is in the fact that it cannot be centeralized. Thanks for clearing that up. It is a bit like a decenteralized computer network in that respect. It cannot be controlled because of the fact that every computer makes its own (informed) decisions.
Precisely! And we will see through the actual pathway that our system keeps decentralizing. It is a exhilarating phenomenon (and path)!
