[singularity] mass-market Singularity fiction

2008-02-05 Thread Joshua Fox
The new Terminator series brings up
againhttp://sentientdevelopments.blogspot.com/2008/02/new-terminator-show-brings-singularity.htmlthe
concept of  mass-market Singularity fiction.

The folly of argument from fiction has been discussed enough.

I want to raise another question: What is the relevance, if any, of
Singularity fiction?

Speculative fiction has often influenced the real world. Walden 2, Old-New
Land, Utopia, 1984, Brave New World, etc. changed people's political
outlook.  Science fiction inspired  many people to become engineers and
scientists,  including some who accomplished great things.

What is the real-world role of Singularity fiction?  Should we differentiate
between fiction which reaches the narrow intellectual/geek audience and that
which spreads to a mass audience?

Should we use fiction as a platform for getting  attention by contrasting it
to a more insightful  analysis (as in the SIAI I Robot campaign) ? Or can we
hold up specific works of fiction, with all their  limitations, as
inspiration for working to attain a better future or head off threats?

Bruno,

Posting these links without any comprehensible commentary is not very
useful ... so I think you should stop ...

If you have some discussion about the information being pointed to,
and its relevance to this thread or other possibly
Singularity-relevant issues, that would be welcome...

thanks

Re: [singularity] Quantum resonance btw DNA strands? Sounds like the DNA phantom effect.

2008-02-05 Thread Craig
This has been old news in natural healing circles since the 80's. Anyone ever 
hear of the DNA Phantom Effect? A Russian scientist apparently created a 
residual hologram of DNA after firing a laser in the path of DNA then removing 
it from the beam. This was presumed to arise from DNA's quantum 
characteristics, which at that point was all theoretical. The test was never 
replicated, but scientists speculated that in the near future it could be. I'm 
surprised there was a research team following up on the quantum connection to 
DNA replication.

 As I've said, I'm very interested to find out. I suspect that you are
 right that there is quite a lot of diversity in your ranks about beliefs
 and expectations.

 I renew my offer to help SIAI and whoever design and administer such a
 survey.

If you or anyone else wants to survey the transhumanist population,
just send me a list of questions, and I'll set it up and send it to
wta-talk, or SL4, or wherever you will.

Hi Bruno,

 effectively,my commentary is very short so excuse-my(i drive my pc with my
 eyes
 because i am a a.l.s with tracheo and gastro and i was a speaker,not a
 writer and it's difficult)

Well that is certainly a good reason for your commentaries being short!

 hello ben
 ok ,i stop,no problem
 i am thinking mcfadden'theory was possible right because of
 wave-matter-structure and
 no-particle-matter-structure

Certainly the wave nature of matter is a necessary prerequisite for
McFadden's theory to be correct -- but that's already built into quantum
mechanics, right?

The question is whether proteins really function as macroscopic quantum
systems, in the way that McFadden suggests.  They may or may not, but I
don't think the answer is obvious from the wave nature of matter...
