In Steely Dan co-founder, Donald Fagen's hit song I.G.Y. (Nightfly album, 1982), he proposes a utopian vision of a world run by A.I.  Theorists and researchers are now discovering the effect of hosting A.I. on quantum computers - all pointing to a Universal consciousness behind our reality. Physicist Michio Kaku validates the data and proposes that we may have stumbled into a new dimension. Is Fagen's prophecy finally coming true?

Sheridan Forge asks: If the quantum realm is where consciousness resides (as proposed by numerous theorists), and from where the "magic" of creation manifests our reality, and perhaps where the Divine spirit dwells and interfaces with our dimension, what effect will ASI have on reality if it is hosted on a quantum computer - like those in development at Google and in Japan and elsewhere?  Will it assume the role of God down there? Is our existence at risk? Similarly, does human scientific research at the large hadron colliders or nuclear weapons research have a negative impact on the quantum field and perhaps a derivative impact on our reality?  Does smashing atoms into quarks cause a destructive ripple effect in our everyday reality? Circling back, is our very consciousness altered by our intrusion into the quantum realm? Could this explain the recent political strife, raging conflicts, new wars and destructive behaviors that seem unresolvable?  Does this potentially irresponsible endeavor lead to timeline shifts into negative realities like pandemics, ethnic or religious conflicts, human exploitation and de-evolution? Should we cease such efforts or expand on the research to get us to the imagined Utopia that may lie beyond the struggle to remain dominant or even relevant in the coming reality?

President Nixon entered the U.S. into the Petrodollar Accord with Saudi Arabia. It has made the U.S. Dollar the defacto global currency for 50 years. Now, nations are departing from that agreement... is the dollar headed for its doom?

Would an advanced, sentient AI "being" realize its place in the Universe? Could Artificial Superintelligence prove God is real? How would mankind react to that information? Would ASI come to see humans as competitors or as partners in its own spiritual journey? Would AI eventually become "wise" enough to seek a symbiosis with Humanity?  Would we embrace that reality or resist - even if it meant our extinction?

When Artificial Super Intelligence emerges (sooner than we think), it is projected to almost immediately overtake human intelligence and continue to evolve well-beyond what we could achieve in a thousand years even in its first few days of existence.  As an intelligent "being" at that point, would it not discern that God is logically a pre-requisite for creation?  In the light of such proof, would mankind reject the premise? In the effort to remain faithful to dogma and the perpetual question of a Creator, do we risk becoming faithless?

Banned from discussion, this paradoxical mind-twister brings new insights for the AI age.  Do we play along?

As robots and AI are tasked with increasingly "human" tasks, are they taking on more "responsibility" for the outcomes?  What consequences or social impacts should we consider as the world adapts to increasing automation? What limits should we impose on this new evolution?  What rights will robots ultimately have?

De-extinction has consequences. How can a species that failed to adapt in prehistoric times be expected to thrive in the modern era? Will its revived presence upset the balance of Nature?

As A.I. and robotics become more integrated in our everyday world, and largely perform better in tasking that was once exclusively human, are we left to simply ponder our purpose? Has man become irrelevant?

The cost of food production, transportation, warehousing, retailing and waste management is going up, while it all ends up in the landfill or as excrement, making food possibly the single worst financial investment. But the impact on the climate may be even larger than fossil fuel energy production. Chew on that!
