Talk:Scenario: Human Mind Project

From Future

Jump to: navigation, search
Yunzhong, I've moved your intro off the Human-Mind page to here. I think having it in the article is damaging to both you and to the article. If you really want it, maybe create a page Future Yunzhong Hou predicting how you will be in the future. You could then link to it from the article, and from other articles you create.

[edit] Yunzhong Hou

Yunzhong Hou is currently a budding futurologist. He will become an expert on this subject. By the time of the Human Mind Project, he was to become one of the great authorities on predicting the future. He joins us now on the Future Wikia to address this particular issue, the details of which he saw in his mind's eye over the course of several weeks. The following documentary is taken to be a scenario; of course, Yunzhong Hou does not know enough on this topic to merit any statement here to be a fact. Yet the steps that he reveals following the Human Mind Project and its consequences will show us much of what the future is to hold.

"I am a futurologist. That means that I predict what the future will be like, so that people can plan for them. It also means that what I have to say may one day be remembered, and its words become influential in dictating our future. As Alan Kay once stated, the best way to predict the future is to invent it. Therefore, the best futurologists are those of above average intellect and breadth and width of knowledge and perception, who can more accurately predict the trends and points of divergence of the future. That said, the most accurate predictions arise from a handful of futurologist experts who can imagine a future world in their mind's eye in all its exquisite, unusual details.

I will soon lead you on a journey of one of the most groundbreaking projects of the twenty first century, namely the Human Mind Project. Now, this has not yet occurred, so the particulars are indeterminate. However, the revelation provided gives a general sense of what is to come.

[edit] The Present is based on the Past so the Future is Based on the Present

Here are some present day technologies that are under development that may contribute to this future scenario: Tapping into (stimulating) the nervous system with use of electrodes, especially with the use of prosthetics. Triggering of memories/sensations with electrodes - the next step could be mapping out the brain. Some work may have already been done on this. 24.22.219.38 12:28, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
