RE: Money as Memory: In a Global Social Computer? | Blockchain as Memory in a Social Dispersed Computer?
Computation==communication==transportation. To flip a bit 0/1 or vice versa is just the same as to move a bit in space. Computer is computer and does not matter if you move a bit across nanometers grid or over millions of meters or ... light years. computer==network. Which is the computer which memory software the money is? It is obvious - the network computer which the society (human beings and their artefacts) is. In few weeks I'll issue a distilled to purity and almost unhuman concise level :P essay on that. Will include this is resources.
If humans and machines by way of communication can merge into a collaborative processing unit, how do you view the influence of cyborgization (augmentation) on these humans and the feedback loops which may emerge from this inter-communication between them?
Humans are not the only possible economic agents. Human is also technically the most limited entity in the social network. The machines can process way more, and the cyborgs are the humans who adapt to merge/ with or augment toward the machines to improve productivity. Artilects are the cosmists who seek to completely digitize themselves (this could be considered the religious camp).
Hugo de Garis communicates the nuances of this. Robin Hanson also communicated on similar topics.
That's why I said society = humans + artefacts. Cyborgization / augmentation -- must be viewed in ''mankind as the life's way to break the CHON jail'' - expansion of life into other substrata. Will cover that too in an essay. I have 100+ modular one idea at a time puzzle bits on the assembly line...
