At first I thought you were saying 200-300 humanity years, for my cosmist vision (robots colonizing Venus/Mars etc) it will likely take at least centuries, likely millenia minimum, so I'm hoping on starting a tulku lineage, so can reincarnate and continue my work. That is one of my motivations for becoming a meditation instructor. I know some things I might say seem rather far out, but if you're reading this thanks. I hope to make these "spiritual" things more accessible, and a related business model. How much would a rich person pay to have their reincarnation found, so they could pass on much of the inheritance to their future self? Anyways in the slim chance that I am successful with my faith-based approach, and the more likely chance that we wont find a better way of soul-tracking, I'm sure you'll be able to sign up for reincarnation identification services cheap/free. > >>> Burdened at $200K/yr (a really small value) that works out to $40M-$60M, >>> >> >> >> But I can hire good C++ developers for US$7500/year all overheads >> included, in our AI/robotics development office in Addis Ababa....

Addis Ababa and Chengdu are coincidentally near major earth grid nodes, So I'm very happy to hear you have AGI programmers there. :-) Karachi and Morocco might be good also.

One thing I wanted to make different from tibetan tulku style, is that it is not mandatory to follow your former life path, giving the option to pursue something new and different if you so choose in your future incarnation. I know the Dali Lama seems to be wanting to quit the job he's been doing for centuries. 🚀 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%F0%9F%9A%80> Logan *AGI* | Archives <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now> > <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/10443978-6f4c28ac> | > Modify <https://www.listbox.com/member/?&;> Your Subscription > <http://www.listbox.com> > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
