Democratic Posthuman Manifesto
A terse treatise on the future of humanity and its potential.
The Foundation: Spread Democratic Thought
IBM: “Solutions for a small planet”
Democracy is about the free flow of ideas and information. It means having a market economy where your ideas can be transformed into products and services to solve problems for the advancement of humanity. It means bringing resources to people who need them while maintaining respect for our environment.
The Method: Create Technological and "Universal" Singularity
Microsoft: “Your potential, our passion”
The collective intelligance of all humanity will be augmented by the comprehensive thought patterns of a nascent all encompassing artificial intelligence of supreme proportions. The next steps in human evolution will be the posthuman metamorphic transformation, systematic planetary terraforming, and outward expansion of humankind into the cosmos. Matter and energy will be harnessed as simply tools of the trade of shaping human accomplishments. Absolute yet refined control over information, matter and everything from the infinitesimal to the infinite. The sheer power of will and thought will crystalize to form instant unencumbered action in the universal playground of time and space. The technological singularity will be followed by a metaphysical melding of the cosmos
The Impetus: Achieve Greatness via a Cultural Commingling
Cisco: “The (real) human network”
Democracy and technology is the framework that must be set for any progress to be made to arrive at the pinnacle of human achievement. Humans will constantly strive for a better life made possible through incremental improvements to attain significant advances in quality of life. The human race has been steadily climbing Maslow’s Hierarchy of social and psychological needs. As humanity moves toward the inescapable horizon of technological advancement there must be a similar advancement in the very nature of sociological and cultural interactions between disparate communities. Divisions based on superficial boundaries must be crossed by forging links between disparate groups.
A common tapestry of common values will let us fathom the pan ultimate goals of human desire. Humanity will partake in a transformation worthy of superhuman status. After we have conquered the world of matter and energy, we will be simultaneously summoned into the pure pearly gates of St. Peter and beckoned into the deep underworld of depravity.
The Result: Attain Immortality by Conjuring a Higher Plain of Existence
TLC: “Life unscripted”
A balance of the dichotomy between chaos and order will usher in a new age of perpetual peace where the spirit, soul, mind, and matter will seem like afterthoughts in an infinite universe. There will be no limits; the possibilities endless with time as the only constraint. A rebirth of human consciousness will herald the attainment of immortality. The continuity of civilization with genesis of eternal harmony must now be conquered to the anathema of total and complete nihilism.
