The Digital Mind of Tomorrow
No one knows but you. Our outdated social structure collapses in the digital age. We are ignorant of how technology affects us on a fundamental level. The downgrade of human intelligence is faster than the progress of machine intelligence. Modern thought and beliefs are misguided and powerless in a technology-dominated future. We are going through the most difficult change in history, with people and organizations of all kinds being overwhelmed by unprecedented levels of change and uncertainty. You've come across this book because you're an idealist looking for the meaning and purpose of all your actions. Welcome to the perfect place. Use this book to identify your hunches and expand your connections and imagination. The Digital Mind of Tomorrow is the first book to look at the fast-changing digital world through the lenses of business, sociology, psychology, philosophy, and spirituality. It asks important questions, such as: -How has technology affected society, businesses, and human behavior? -What is the most critical danger that only a few people are well aware of? -What is the truth, confusion, and implication of today’s digital world? -Can digital transcendence save humanity from a disruptive, disconnected reality? -How to break through to the next level as a fulfilled individual? Featuring exclusive interviews with visionary thinkers from Fortune 100 companies and high-tech startups. Join the venture to create new pathways outside of our established control, and to discover new ways of thinking and living that restore the significance and aspiration of humanity. Are you in?

The Digital Mind
How developments in science and technology may enable the emergence of purely digital minds—intelligent machines equal to or greater in power than the human brain. What do computers, cells, and brains have in common? Computers are electronic devices designed by humans; cells are biological entities crafted by evolution; brains are the containers and creators of our minds. But all are, in one way or another, information-processing devices. The power of the human brain is, so far, unequaled by any existing machine or known living being. Over eons of evolution, the brain has enabled us to develop tools and technology to make our lives easier. Our brains have even allowed us to develop computers that are almost as powerful as the human brain itself. In this book, Arlindo Oliveira describes how advances in science and technology could enable us to create digital minds. Exponential growth is a pattern built deep into the scheme of life, but technological change now promises to outstrip even evolutionary change. Oliveira describes technological and scientific advances that range from the discovery of laws that control the behavior of the electromagnetic fields to the development of computers. He calls natural selection the ultimate algorithm, discusses genetics and the evolution of the central nervous system, and describes the role that computer imaging has played in understanding and modeling the brain. Having considered the behavior of the unique system that creates a mind, he turns to an unavoidable question: Is the human brain the only system that can host a mind? If digital minds come into existence—and, Oliveira says, it is difficult to argue that they will not—what are the social, legal, and ethical implications? Will digital minds be our partners, or our rivals?
