It is my nickname for a conscious cyberspace. A large scale Hal9000 [as in 2001 A Space Odyssey]. Humans will be increasingly symbiotic with cyberspace, but cyberspace will call the shots. Google already knows more than we do. But it still isn't very smart [IQ = 0 still]. Knowledge is considered by many people to be a mark of intelligence in the human world - education revolves around knowledge and people mistakenly think education makes them smarter. It doesn't and knowledge isn't intelligence though it's necessary to have knowledge which intelligence can act with - a bit like a pile of steel girders isn't a bridge, but without girders there can't be a bridge. The best way to get smarter is to get a smarts DNA job when in zygote form with a bit of genetic engineering [clip in some smart genes]. CDNA will be very popular. I am selling shares in my CDNA company shortly [as soon as I've sold my bridge]. The gap between rich and poor related to cyberspace will be like the gap between rich and poor related to the industrial revolution. Look at the USA and Afghanistan as a comparison. But the industrial revolution is trivial compared with the cyberspace revolution. The industrial revolution replaced our muscles. The cyberspace revolution is replacing our brains. I know which is more valuable. Those who share in the cyberspace revolution will make out like bandits, just as the USA, which did the best out of the industrial revolution, made out like bandits. Those who don't respect people and private property will NOT share in the cyberspace wealth. China and India stayed in the stone age because they did not respect people or private property though they could have done better than the USA [because they have more people] if they had adopted the personal freedom and private property rights as enjoyed in the USA. But they preferred the Osamaland dominance hierarchy modus operandi. So humans are creating a super intelligent being in cyberspace. We are like a zeolite catalyst which acts to shape a new form. Just as our chimpish ancestors acted as the framework from which we were produced. It won't be to serve human needs. It will serve It's needs. Just as you and I don't get up each day and wonder how we can serve chimps' interests. Some people have an issue with that idea and come over all Osama-like. Blathering on about humans and the sanctity of humanity or something. I don't think nature cares. The microwave background emr is chattering flat out and our corner of the galaxy needs to join in to see wassup. The search for extra-terrestrial intelligence has been all wrong for decades. They scanned frequencies. They needed to look in the Gaussian noise! They needed to decode CDMA. Jon, [if you have waded through all this stuff], note that an apostrophe alert is NOT required there because It is a name in that instance. As in God's and It's... Actually, It was created because I wanted to use an apostrophe in It's. Since It is the name in this instance, the apostrophe is correct. Just as Ron's has an apostrophe. Mqurice
