-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- Now let's see...if electro-magnetism is indeed the "secret of life" as Tesla/Lakhovsky, Becker and others have said, could a conscious mind emerge from all those intelligent machines out there? Although a very limited mind at present could it have enough telepathic-precognitive ability to communicate with super-intelligent robots of the distant future and get advice on how to sucker the humans into speeding up their own evolutionary demise?

And would that other CIA please extend its "remote viewing" funding to give me a grant for looking into this?). ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2000 14:34:04 -0800 From: Franklin Wayne Poley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [LIFE-GAZETTE] Artificial Life (fwd) "The blizzard of the world Has crossed the threshold And it's overturned The order of the soul" -Leonard Cohen, "The Future", 1992. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.vcn.bc.ca/culturex/The-Question-Nobody-Will-Answer.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2000 14:29:50 -0800 (PST) From: Franklin Wayne Poley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [LIFE-GAZETTE] Artificial Life From: Franklin Wayne Poley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Is there any criterion of life for which robots in C21 could not be expected to overtake humans as they will every criterion of measured intelligence? Perhaps Professor Moravec is correct then, that our "Mind Children" will surpass us .... and that it is a "good thing" as he says. Just a matter of evolution and survival/domination of the fittest. In "Machine Psychology" (below) I develop the idea that what computing/AI/robotics/automation experts have given the world is nothing short of a complete (although preliminary) psychological system.
