MindMap Gallery A brief history of the future
In the future, humans will face three major problems: biology itself is an algorithm, and life is a process of constantly processing data; the separation of consciousness and intelligence; the external environment with the accumulation of big data will understand ourselves better than ourselves. How to view these three major issues and how to take response measures will directly affect the future development of mankind.

clarify
The above refers to "humanity as a whole", not most individual people.
This is a historical prediction, not a political goal
You may not get it if you ask for it
Forecasting is not for the purpose of prophecy. Predictions can change the future after discussion.
Marxism did not overthrow the regime, this prediction alone would have made them change
historical significance
Historical knowledge will change our future behavior. Studying history is to liberate ourselves from old meanings.
paradox of knowledge
Knowledge (prediction) is useless if the behavior does not change. Once the behavior changes, the original knowledge (prediction) immediately loses its meaning.
History is chaos, not inevitable
First level chaos
Not changed by predictions
Level 2 Chaos
Changes due to predictions and can never be predicted accurately
Model
Calculate the probability of occurrence

can people survive
Depends on understanding and respecting the desires of the animals around you
Animism, communication between humans and all things
equality

Quality of life comes from things you can control
Agricultural animals are reduced to human assets
Ignore the emotional needs of animals
Low-level people are also considered assets
theism
Commitment to Homo sapiens dominance
Can exploit all other living things
Christianity
God mediates between humans and ecosystems
exploit animals
Industrial Age
Theism → using the name of God as the reason for traditional agriculture
Humanism → Using people as an excuse for modern industrial agriculture
Humanism is based on the belief that Homo sapiens possesses something unique and sacred about human nature
Animals don’t have it, so naturally it doesn’t matter.
man becomes god
human traits
soul
The soul evolved
Indivisible, eternal entities are contrary to the nature of evolution
The soul appears suddenly
His parents must have souls
soul
in neuronal networks
No need for an independent mind
Mind over neural network
Where exactly?
web of meaning
Animals can only imagine what actually exists
one can imagine intersubjective things
Fictional stories organize large-scale collaboration, which is the fundamental reason why humans dominate the world
If you want to decipher the future of mankind, you must decipher the various fictional imaginations that give meaning to the world.
imagined order
Integrate with the real world
Imagine order forming a network
Leave network node
Alien
Personal values are determined by social class and the opinions of others
shape people's desires
Shape personal values
Guidance requirements
Romanticism, consumerism, nationalism, capitalism, humanism, etc.
The connection of ideas that exists between people

intersubjective
A network of connections between many individual subjective consciousnesses
law
money
god
nation
Propaganda focuses on public opinion
Violence supplemented by coercion
Give meaning to the world
the power of fiction
Animals live in dual realities of objective entities and subjective experiences
The world of Homo sapiens has a third reality
intersubjective
god
money
company
nation
70,000 years ago, the cognitive revolution allowed humans to start making up stories
Multi-person collaboration
5,000 years ago, people invented writing and money
Words allow people to organize society algorithmically
Algorithms rule society
nature of bureaucracy
The state issues a piece of paper and forces citizens to use this paper to pay taxes
Story is just a tool, not the goal
Distinguish between reality and fiction. The status of reality is of course higher than fiction.
Finding the delicate balance between truth and fiction
There will be more powerful fictional concepts and more totalitarian organizations in the future
It is particularly important to distinguish between truth and fiction
Fictional stories make it easier for humans to cooperate
The price is that the story will also determine the goals of our cooperation
Morality and law build social order
The debate between science and religion
religion
Religion is not the same as superstition
What you believe must be "truth"; only what others believe can be "superstition"
Religion is not supernatural
For those who believe in demons, gods, spirits, this is nature
Religion is not a question of whether you believe in "God"
Religion is not the same as spirituality
consolidate secular order
Spirituality wants to escape
Spiritual journey is only suitable for individuals, not for society
If human beings want to collaborate, there can’t be just problems and no norms.
Religion is a set of fictional stories that are logically self-consistent
religion definition
Depends on social function, not whether there is a god
Christianity, Communism, Liberalism
can be regarded as a religion
science and religion
Science needs the help of religion to create viable human institutions
Research facts but do not make ethical judgments
Religion not only contains ethical judgments, but also factual statements
religious story
ethical judgment
human life is sacred
statement of fact
Human life begins at the moment of conception
Combination of ethical judgments and factual statements
get specific instructions
You cannot have an abortion even if it is just one day old
religion
ethical judgment
Science cannot refute

Science can refute
Easily compromise and cooperate
religion
care about order
science
care about power
modern history
Compromise between science and certain religions (humanism)
Modern society believes in humanism
science realizes its dogma
Contract with "Modern"
destiny
This limits human power, but it also makes everything meaningful
"Modern" is a contract
people give up meaning
in exchange for strength
Away from meaning, a revolutionary new religion arose
humanism
humanist revolution
humanism
man transformed into god
find the meaning of life

Self is physically divisible
Ice water experiment, people have two selves
experience self
narrative self
a torn society
People lose economic and military use
Most selections are managed by external algorithms
Humanity as a whole will still have value, individuals will have no value
in principle
Biology is an algorithm
Homo sapiens is a collection of evolved algorithms
The function of the algorithm is not affected by the constituent substances
Whether the beads of an abacus are made of iron or wood makes no difference to the calculation.
As long as the calculation is correct, there is no difference between silicon-based or carbon-based
Human beings have no value
Algorithms control humans
useless person
Can only live on drugs and playing games
Nipple fun
Humans are likely to be taken into captivity or exterminated
Superhumans take over the world
obtain eternal life
happiness
incarnate as god
Solidification of class
Humanity loses equality
Whether algorithms or superhumans take over the world
Liberalism will collapse
new religion
Technological Humanism
Human beings are the pinnacle of creation
Homo sapiens upgraded to the god of wisdom
Fight the most complex mindless algorithms
Pallas
Upgrade of healthy people
Explore the extensions of the mind
Believes that human will is still the most important thing
Once you can control your consciousness
Man loses his sanctity
Dataism
Dataism
The universe is made of data
The value lies in the contribution to data processing
economic system
economic mechanism
Supply and demand
transformed into decisions
Capitalism won the Cold War
Socialist elites betrayed socialism
Decentralized processing is better than centralized
political system
Democracy and autocracy are essentially two opposing mechanisms for collecting and analyzing information.
democracy and autocracy
Analyze information
Opposition mechanism
If data cannot be processed effectively, the noble institutions of the past such as elections, political parties, and countries may be eliminated.
Authoritarian regimes are also unable to cope with the speed and power of data flows
human data system
4 ways to improve efficiency
Increase the number of processors
A city with a population of 100,000 has a capacity higher than a village with a population of 1,000
Add processor types
The dialogue between farmers, priests, and physicians produced ideas that would never have been discussed among hunter-gatherers.
Increase connections between processors
10 cities with trade have higher output than 10 isolated cities
Increase the freedom of flow of existing connections
development stage
cognitive revolution
Large numbers of intelligent humans can be connected into a single data processing network
agricultural revolution
The population increased massively and human cooperation networks increased. Increased number of processors, types and connections
Industrial Revolution
Connections of all kinds have become very close
information revolution
Information flows freely in the global network, and the volume and speed are getting faster and faster
Improved global data processing system
freedom of information
commandment
Connect more and more media and generate more and more information
Connect everything to the system, even the heretics who don’t want to join
Humanity loses its meaning
Just wait for the algorithm to figure out the meaning
As long as there are better algorithms and data
Humanity will be eliminated naturally
Internet of Everything
Everything has a sacred meaning
Data doesn’t care about our subjective needs
