The Social
Singularity: How decentralization will allow us to transcend
politics, create global prosperity, and avoid the robot apocalypse
by Max Borders
In
this decentralization manifesto, futurist Max Borders shows that humanity is
already building systems that will “underthrow” great centers of power.
Exploring the promise of a decentralized world, Borders says we will:
- Reorganize to collaborate and compete with AI;
- Operate within networks of superior collective intelligence;
- Rediscover our humanity and embrace values for an age of connection.
With lively prose, Borders takes us on a tour of modern pagan festivals, cities
of the future, and radically new ways to organize society. In so doing, he
examines trends likely to revolutionize the ways we live and work.
Although the technological singularity fast approaches, Borders argues, a
parallel process of human reorganization will allow us to reap enormous
benefits. The paradox? Our billion little acts of subversion will help us lead
richer, healthier lives—and avoid the robot apocalypse. …: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41031272-the-social-singularity
Civilization: knowledge, institutions, and humanity’s future
Insights
from technological sociologist Samo Burja.
Burja
outlines these steps: investigate the landscape, evaluate our odds, then try to
plot the best course. He explains:
Our
civilization is made-up of countless individuals and pieces of material
technology — that come together to form institutions and inter-dependent
systems of logistics, development, and production. These institutions + systems
then store the knowledge required for their own renewal + growth.
We
pin the hopes of our common human project on this renewal + growth of the whole
civilization. Whether this project is going well is a challenging — but vital —
question to answer. History shows us we’re not safe from institutional
collapse. Advances in technology mitigate some aspects, but produce their own
risks. Agile institutions that make use of both social + technical knowledge
not only mitigate such risks — but promise unprecedented human flourishing.
There
has never been an immortal society. No matter how technologically advanced our
own society is — it’s unlikely to be an exception. For a good future that
defies these odds, we must understand the hidden forces shaping society.…:
