Idea for a plot

Mythbusters.

The characters are analyzed the way Wes Anderson does in The Life Aquatic.

I'm not saying Grant should be J.H.'s son, but a feature that analyzed the stories between the characters would be cool.

The inside-joke element of how Hollywood works has already been successful with films such as Tropic Thunder, etc.

I think these elements combined is original, I know I'm wrong. But it would be a neat thing to see.

Roboballet (circa 2020's)

This combined with the hand motion in an earlier robot posted here equals robots in theatre. To within on tenth millimeter tolerances.

Granted MIT has performed a robotic opera, the speed and precision available now makes me believe in more elaborate robotic performers.

digital drugs. Or boosting. That would be a nice thing to gain popularity. All of the benefits, with all of the control.

I keep getting older. But the world stays the same age.

Ground Floor List

This is a rough draft of things I want to look out for.
A new addition to the list is... (Drum Role, please)

A licensed documentary that is produced by an INTERNATIONAL LICENSING ORGANIZATION on space travel and its origins.

An balanced perspective on both space travel from Russia, Canada, the US, China, and others. A documentary which is not produced by Disney or Discovery Channel.
By the time we live in a world where this can be made space travel will be mostly private anyway and about 1000 times less expensive. But that also means the demand for such a project would also be high what with all the recognition the technology gets. Space Elevator capable shipping between the super powers... in minutes.

If there is a person with aligned goals, I expect I'll put the effort into finding them when I'm around 40 or so.

A personal reaction to uncovering a new fact

For my first year after leaving York I lived in a neighborhood in East York, which is a slice of Toronto between the central city and Scarborough.
There was a park there, a park currently housing the Ontario Science Center.


This is the Earnest Thompson Seton park.

Why do I think this is personal? Because I know who this man is. This is the other side to the story of: The origin of Scouting. And I believe that modern Scouting has matured into E.T. Seton's image, rather than what Powell had planned.

Seton was a naturalist who experienced violence in his youth, and therefore there is a very strong anti-violence characteristic in his actions.

Powell was a man of war. He was a general, and used his 'Boy Scouts' for less dangerous missions during battles.

Can you spot the humanist? Is it difficult?

The reason I brought it up is because I respect Seton's approach and the value of understanding sustenance and resources, and also because the value of understanding these things now very much extends into a purely technological world view.

We can realize this by understanding:
a) how tech is involved in resource management (on global scales, and just some directions its going in.
b) understanding energy use and the mantra for renewable orbital solar systems.
c) being aware of what is required for a single human to survive.
d) how it is required for humanity to change is some profound way to survive the next century.

Technology is the basis for all growth in the modern world.
A new form of naturalistic thinking, the thinking of E.T., is emerging. A naturalist who understands the technological relationship as natural and inescapable. If we stop denying simple things like we need transportation and efficient farming, etc, then we can be better equipped to solve the problem with new ways of thinking. Ways that don't stigmatize modern culture the way PETA and others do.

A new form of education can be thought of. As naturalist and Scouting were crucial at the turn of the last century, teaching children of this era of the proper view of technology will eventually benefit.
Thus the Techno-Scout has been born. And I am their Powell.

"We have more in common with each other than we will have in common with our future-selves".

I love the whole world...

and all its craziness...


So it's official: I WANT THE ROBOT DEVILS HANDS. And here they are captured on film for the first time.

The Future of John Morgan

I stand my ground. This is something about myself I know. I feel a powerful connection to my ideas - this is something that creates social disdain.

What do I know for sure about this world?
I am my only constant.
Society is the product of many, not few.
Social change is inevitable. History shows us that this is usually for the better.
Technological change will continue on its current path. The world will end if it doesn't.
Resources will continue to decrease

What do I think I know?
Love is dangerous - the most powerful human emotion. Love is a product of the collective unconscious as Jung would say. It is most-unwelcome in the posthuman experience. I accept that love can give us the most transcendent joy. It would be a failure not to imagine a compromise which maximized safety.

What do I want to do with what I know?
I want to do what I can. What I can to make sure the world happens as it supposed to. This is boastful. AS if I assume that my choices affect the very fabric of society.
Boastful, perhaps, yes.
To think otherwise would be to take a bite out of the lie that humans are invaluable. The concept of futility all people in the world are conditioned with more and more.

To be blunt here are my goals as an entrepreneur:

1. Use my ideas to write stories. Stories about a future. A future with humans.
   
2. I plan on culminating my experience with technical theatre training and transhumanist tendencies in a story that elegantly chronicles man and machine merging into Utopia. This is my Opera.
   
3. I plan on increasing awareness with subtle creations. Earl piercing LCD displays to my face, wearing an HD camera as a permanent fixture, etc. Moreso as time goes on these are minor ideas in infancy.
4. Promoting the concept of improving the human condition.
   
5. Suggesting to embrace a new faith based on these principles.
   
6. Researching 3D holographic projection - something that will occur during the nano-tech boom.
   
7. Researching brain-immersion technique. This will be the result of reverse-engineering the next generation of brain scanning technology. Something which will occur in the 2020's also.
   
8. Pioneering the interface.
   
9. Recieving the singularity to improve the rate at which my objectives in entertainment can be reached.
   
10. Continue preaching the advantages of moving beyond our limited range of experience as we have them now.
11. EXODUS and the story of reaching what Kurzwiel refers to as the sixth epoch.
    

In Toronto there is a hospital network, Princess Margaret. They've created a new ad campaign promoting cancer awareness. The new slogan is "It's amazing what can happen in our lifetime". Transhumanism is the new religion for the intellect. And the sub-intellect is dead.

I am 21. This is no more than reflection.

Discreet

If I had myself an extra 12 000 dollars I would easily go and get a pair of Bluetooth inner ear implants from the company behind investing in this little number.

But I'm trying to ask myself how this will alter peoples perception of me.
I suppose it won't be until we have an implantable processor - one, which is not at all noticeable by others that it will catch on.

However, the shoe on the other foot if someone like me - a transhumanist with money to blow, he would have an incredible advantage. Considering the price of bandwidth, this person could use the technology to be in constant communication with someone miles away.

Wired recently ruled, with gusto, that the bluetooth ear-job was out. Perhaps this is the replacement.

In anycase, if I can live my life like everyone else and receive auditory information in an additional layer. Well that's really advantageous. And people would be somewhat offended by this gross misuse of the technology.

And so the transhumanist has few options. If he wants to give the cause attention he can upgrade himself whether with cochlear implants or whatnot. But that will make people aware of the gradient. This makes it a social disservice, and the idea may be rejected.

Therefore only strict proponents to the idea will take the pioneering plunge as it were. But, it remains a question. Am I evil for being a pioneering transhumanist? Does seeking this kind of god-like advantage tell people more about myself than I can realize? It all depends on my philosophies, I suppose.

If I embrace it as a change everyone should experience.
As opposed to feeling that I am 'better' than others for having it.
Feeling the nirvana of experiencing something mainstream in the future.
Being able to know the trends to predict.

I wonder... if the inventor of the microwave felt that twinge the first time he cooked something on 'high'. Maybe, maybe not. But I know that twinge is felt by the engineer working at Philips in an OLED lab.
