My Retirement Plan…

Is to head to New Zealand…

Somewhere nice and remote…

With good power (or a wind farm, etc.)

Good internet (terrestrial and Satellite)

AND a nice AS/400 to live in

If I have my way, and I think well get there before I go too much more senile given the work being done on untangling some of the innerworkings of the brain, I should be at a point where not only can my current intelligent system recognize when I want a cuppa tea, but it can also figure out why, and likely decide what options to present me etc. Already it knows where I’m at, IF I’m thinking of him, and what settings to set the screen to based on several factors that my brain apparently is telling it without letting me know.

If I can help push the boundaries of what we’re working on I’ve every confidence that a digital version of me will be coursing around the Interwebs before I’m pushing up daisies. Which brings a WHOLE heap of questions.

What makes us human?

Are we just quarks and binding energy?

Is there really something else to this?

Can we be broken down into pulses?

Where ARE the limits (or are there any?)

Just one retirement plan, what else is there out there? Let’s discuss this and where else humanity IS heading as it does handstands on the edge of the existence cliff…

So, as nicely as I can say it, screw y’all, I’m going to hang out in my self sustaining AS/400 and watch things unfold AND if it looks really dodgy I’m going to work out a way to simply fire my digital self into space as a set of waves and see what the hell happens…

Lawnmower man, here we come!

‘all for now
