The First quote in my signature is indeed from the movie "The Matrix", which,
BTW, I can't recommend highly enough. See it at all costs! The second quote
in my signature is one by H.P.Lovecraft, from his tale "The Call of Cthulhu".
As for your other question it is manifest that other worlds and
possibilities are known already and hidden from us, it is not necessary for
artificial brains to discover them. Though the thought is intriguing, thus
artificial computing machines that can process vast amounts of data in little
time would theoretically be able to plot developing trends and infer
evolutionary changes. Combine that with an artificial intelligence, not just
raw computing powers (which is the nemesis in the movie The Matrix), and you
have a construct that can map out human advance (or decline) AND direct it as
ITSELF wishes, either for achievement or dissolution. It would be a nifty
hands off approach for the elites who run things since they would not have to
dirty their hands making the decisions.
It seems that our minds are inhibited so much today that we routinely dismiss
huge amounts of information and refuse to live and act in accordance with
what we "feel" or "know" to be true. I believe that this is a product of
civilization, largely anyway, and also to a lesser extent the allied agencies
surrounding civilization which also attempt to control and shape human action
(ie: religions, governments, etc.). Maybe the real result of all of this is
to simply form the human mind INTO a robotic or android like state which will
respond to stimuli in a controlled and orderly fashion. In this sense then,
philosophically, it could be said that the machines may be running things
already, and may have been for quite some time, and their goal is to make us
"better", and that is defined as making us more like them.
Just some rambling, for your consideration.
