Manna, transhumanism, future societies

[humanbeing]

This thread is about Marshall Brain's story, which is about technology, transhumanism, and the future economy.

It is an interesting story to read. It's only about 8 [web] pages long. It'll maybe take about twenty minutes for most people to read, less for others.

Manna, by Marshall Brain

Lots of interesting stuff. Please read and then give comments.

(edit: link should actually work this time around)
(edit again: sorry, this really belongs in the technology forum)

Someone please read this and give me your thoughts...

If you are interested in robots, brain-computer interfaces, telepathy, virtual reality, and futuristic technology, then you might like this story.

Deep Computed BCI: A Short Story


Imagine your motor cortex fully activated while you have full muscle tone but both what your cortex says you are experiencing and what you are actually experiencing are not what you body is actually doing. You were trained to do this on a brain computer interface. Highly Skilled lucid dreamers in intense sessions and brain tomography on the level of seismic tomography make this all possible. Accessing the brain thru non-invasive means is vital in Berlin where Brain Computer Interfacers and the Locked-in are moving things with only their minds; however, one might say that all this research is treading water awaiting advances in Neuro-surgery. I’m pitching the thoroughly developed non-invasive technique as a necessary prelude to the invasive interface. I’m just looking for sympathetic places to post the story I’m telling in the form of a fictitious photo journal.
