excerpt from, The Prophetic Backbone
From a minimally structured experience – a drive down the road – to a computerized experience – here, one learned human cognition will surrender to technology and more, to the technology creator’s domain. Is it feasible, then, that humans became cognitively deficient when presented with driving a vehicle, say, 15 years after autonomous is standardized? Not only in transportation, but in any work or activity replaced by computational data traversing some network. Ideology is present. If we can change humans, we should change humans, we will change humans. Technological disruption and cognitive traits do have a correlation: the greater the disruption the more time it will take to believe in benefits without fear of losing personal freedom.
Talking about cognition, behaviors and computerized cars in the same sentence exposes the ideological underpinning which is to create a futureworld. They have much more than a product sales pitch; it takes prophesy; meaning, the CEO proclaiming the future utopian reality. We understand the word, “prophet” in the ancient world to be one who convicted people of conscious behaviors and actions that led to eternal judgment. Flip it. Today the technology prophets are saying their products will enable life; safer, disease-free, less human. The product is not the car, the robot, the IoT appliances or augmented reality. We are the products. Many CEO’s are being led down a path where global enterprises will seek for global scale solutions from within humans and less for them. Artificial intelligence and machine learning infrastructures, still in conceptual design for most industries, are essentially stepping stones to human cognitive re-engineering. An entirely new backbone network built as close to the human central nervous system as possible may introduce, as evolution was introduced by theoretical science, life-on-a-network material beings.
