AI, technology, education, and ideas about what comes next.
Social Credit Currency could reward verified social contribution in an AI-driven economy—supporting Universal Basic Employment while a productivity dividend shares automation’s gains.
AI makes production abundant—but when output outpaces verification, attention, and discovery, genuine value can become harder to find.
What if technological progress focused on enhancing human intelligence rather than concentrating it in powerful AI systems? Localised General Intelligence offers a human-centred alternative.
AI may make many cognitive skills redundant, but humans adapt by mastering tools, expanding capabilities, and pursuing new goals.
AI can explain why a technique works. But can it recognize when an imperfection must be preserved to create a better whole? Explore hunger, creative timing, chess, friction, and the limits of local optimization.
Could synthetic consciousness have a different architecture and purpose from human consciousness? This proposed framework explores the experiencer, feedback, shared AI systems, and the possibility of autonomous synthetic individuals—without assuming that AI must become human.
AI can make our work better and faster. But what happens when we outsource the thinking that develops our own capabilities? A case for using AI as an amplifier, not a substitute for judgment.
The Wonderful Tools, Unskilled Toolsman Problem
What if general intelligence is not a destination but a developmental process? Soft Baby AGI offers a different perspective on emerging AI capabilities, contextual understanding, errors, and learning.
AI is not replacing the business owner. It is becoming the technical service provider that turns business intentions into working products through collaboration, execution, and ongoing maintenance.
How AI-assisted resource mobilisation and asset-backed money could help build a more efficient global economy.
The silent observer, the water hypothesis, and the possibility of consciousness beyond biological intelligence.
What if artificial intelligence could build, repair and expand its own body? Explore robot food, silicon blood, modular robotics and the speculative possibility of preserving the human brain.
A proposed future in which intelligence, competitive pressure, and the complexity of civilisation gradually shift decision-making from humans to AI.
