The needs of humans is to be billionaires and dictators. All of them. What kind of organization can help that to be achieved ?

Actually, a chair is more impressive, because it serves a purpose: you can sit on it.

All fine and well, but you forget one crucial thing: 50% of people have iq BELOW 100. They have absolutely 0 interest in what you just wrote. They only want sex and food.

I'm not impressed at all. Is just an object. Is like being impressed by a chair.

Lol. In order for the self to self-improve, it needs to exist in the first place. What is the self of an "AI" ? There is no such thing, there are just wires and transistors. You are just personyfing an object.

What is the self in the self-improvement ?

Of course we did. We did this since the first day an ape used a tool to crack a nut.

Not 1+1=2 per se, but your ability to grasp the truth. This means that reason is not influenced by random events outside of it. Therefore it is free from their influence.

We already do this. Do you fly to another country with your body alone ?

Lol, you didnt understand anything from what I said.

Yes, is trivial. Without free will everything would be chaos. You would never be able to say things like 1+1=2. You would say random things like 1+1=3, 1+1=475789, 1+1=-^<_<>/_<&, because your reason would simply be the effect of random events outside of yourself.

Of course we have free will.

Lol. How do you know if what that program is saying is true ? Or are you a fan of the black founding fathers of America as reported by google gemini ?

Relax, there will be no AGI or AI or fluffy robots to sleep with, for the trivial reason that intelligence is a property of consciousness and consciousness is the nature of reality and you cannot simulate the nature of reality. One characteristic of intelligence is the bringing of new ideas into existence out of nothing. For this you need reason, free will, etc., not atoms bumping into each other like in a computer.

The point of God is to not be alone. Thefore, he created this dream in which he interacts with other manifestations of itself. But the whole trick is to not remember he is God, otherwise he will wake up and be alone again. Therefore, he must prevent discovering his true nature. As such, is human irrationality a safe mechanism induced by God in himself in order to be kept into this dream ? As such, people will do all sorts of irrational "sciences" like physics, chemistry, biology, and they will believe with all their being in those irrational fairy tales that they develop. And is amazing how widespread it is. Virtually, all humans are irrational. Is so weird. And all the psychological mechanisms set in place when you try to talk to them and tell them the truth. Therefore, this universal irrationality of the human species is highly suspicious. Is it a safe mechanism of God to not wake up ?

People are tribal and they feel the need to belong to a tribe. That's why they make all sorts of random divisions. Truth is just truth, it doesn't belong to any tribe.

Myself.

While the internet is the greatest invention of mankind for making knowledge available to anyone, the power is still in the grip of academia. It is academia that decides what school kids are taught. And since at the present historical time the dogma in academia is materialism, this is what kids are indoctrinated into in schools. And even when the kids grow and learn to search for themselves for knowledge and eventually finds it on the internet, they continue to be powerless and materialism keeps on going, keeps receiving funds from the funding agencies and governments, etc. So as much as we write papers and make videos and put them on the internet, it seems to me that they have no effect upon the church of materialism. So if we are to do something, we have to do it by penetrating academia and making this knowledge mainstream in academia. And my question is, how can this be achieved ? I sent thousands of emails to professors in academia with my papers and barely a handful ever answered. Ok, I'm nobody, but what about Leo ? Did he with his over one million subscribers and many more viewers, did he succeed in getting his message into academia ? And of course, there are countless other channels equally with millions of viewers, and even conferences like "The Science of Consciousness". But somehow it seems their effect is zero. If you randomly ask some university professor about consciousness, he doesn't even know what that word is, as if they never in their life even entered on youtube. So what is the solution ? Travelling for decades from university to university and knocking on professors doors ? After spending more than a decade thinking and writing about consciousness, I think I did my part in this life of uncovering knowledge and on this aspect of life I have nothing more to bring. So I want to focus now on getting the message to academia. That's why I want to find solution of how can this be done.

Is not about convincing anyone. Is about visibility. The way society is structured today, any other method will fall short of providing proper visibility. At most through the internet you can reach few million people. But through academia you reach the entire planet. And doing so, high school kids can then choose a career in consciousness instead of being led astray to physics or other "scientific" fields. And this will lead to developing consciousness technologies, like playing video games directly in consciousness worlds, not on computer screens. For such developments to take place you need the effort of the entire mankind, you cannot do it through limited private initiative. At least not at the present time. First you need to spread the knowledge, and then you can build some SpaceX of your own. And for this initial step of spreading the knowledge I see no other better way than through the already built structures of academia/nationalized educational systems. Because even for places like SpaceX, is not like Elon Musk took some random guys and he taught them physics, engineering, rocket science. That would have been impossible. They already came with the required knowledge from world-wide educational systems. For advanced stuff you need wide spread organized structures. Anarchy will not do it.

I didn't have any awakening, like through psychedelics or some other special state of consciousness. I'm just thinking about these things for more than a decade, and these are the results.

I invite you to discover my new paper "How Self-Reference Builds the World" where I show how starting from self-reference as the entity with the property of looking-back-at-itself, all qualia, thus consciousness, can be obtained. The paper can be found on my internet profiles, such as: https://philpeople.org/profiles/cosmin-visan

Thank you all for the appreciations!

Dave is a very rude manchild. I don't know how any civilized person can watch him for more than 5 seconds.

You start with self-reference. But self-reference is a peculiar entity, it is both form and formless at the same time. And the looking-back-at-itself is basically done by the formless, which by this process becomes form. And formless, since it doesn't have any form, it is not an object, so it is Nothing.

Explain it!
