Yep, I have to insert an AdSense waypoint click here, instead of directly linking you to the post above, because G+, like Facebook, and others, still not enabling us to somehow capture our own Content Creation value. It remains to be seen whether Chime.In succeeds in moving the needle in this regard. Actually, there are two inserted waypoint clicks in this funnel. One here to encourage a microscopic chance of AdSense revenue and a second on G+ to keep building the curation network. In the current social media model, I am not in any way incented to actually direct readers directly to content. I am incented to divert and capture and redirect, to hopefully sink attention into my properties. Is this model encouraging and fostering the most productive use of such powerful extended cognition tools? Clearly not.

Congratulations. Singularity University …
Congratulations. Singularity University demonstrates previously presumed “impossible” technology, able to penetrate the most impervious substance in the known universe: 19th century status quo groupthink bound board room skulls.

Superlongevity, Superintelligence, Superabundance (via feedly)

Shared by @silverton: They're called "GOALS" for those unfamiliar with the concept. Ideals toward which we guide our lives and invest our energies. No right thinking human EXPECTS these outcomes within any given time frame. Yet, no effective human wanders entirely aimlessly through life, bouncing haphazardly like a pinball, giving no thought to its own trajectory. Reality is in the midst of bold visions and everyday happenstance. BOTH happen. To the extent that we are not in control of random life events, we do at times feel like that pinball. Yet, to the extent that we consider the content of our lives, we can and ought contemplate what kind of world we would like to help build, and set forth to achieve it.

From Accelerating Future, thoughts on goals: "Superlongevity, superintelligence, and superabundance are a perfect summary of what we want and need. How can we achieve them? Superlongevity can be achieved by uncovering the underlying mechanisms of aging and counteracting them at the molecular level faster than they can cause damage. Huge research project, a long-term effort, but definitely worth the time and money. Leading organization in this area? The SENS Foundation. Superintelligence will be a difficult challenge, creating an intelligent being smarter than humans in every domain. It could take decades, or possibly longer, but it does seem possible. ... Superabundance can be achieved by creating programmable self-replicating machines powered and supplied by easily available resources and materials ... Achieving superlongevity, superintelligence, and superabundance will be incredibly challenging, but seemingly inevitable as long as civilization continues to progress ... There is no guarantee that we will achieve these goals in our lifetime - but why not try? Achieving any of these milestones would radically improve quality of life for everyone on Earth. The first step to making technological advancements available to everyone is to make them available for someone."View the Article Under Discussion: http://www.acceleratingfuture.com/michael/blog/2009/08/superlongevity-superintelligence-superabundance/ Read More Longevity Meme Commentary: http://www.longevitymeme.org/news/ [extracted from Superlongevity, Superintelligence, Superabundance via feedly]
