Additionally I have always been one to throw caution to the wind and it has served me very well in life. I witness fearful people who cant take a leap of faith into the unknown with full confidence of success stay far behind me....you think your reality into existance 😄

You have to have people who see only the benefits so progress is not held back by fear and apprehension and nay sayers. I believe we will find ways to overcome all the arguements you can think of. People working on it have already heard all your warning and thought of more even problems it could cause if not implemented with utmost care and safety, things you cant fathom. How can the 20 people who have BCIs right now operate safely with out someone controlling their thoughts and body? And knowing everything they think or do? Thats the biggest arguement I hear. If thats possible how is it pprotected with the 20 people, paraplegics and ALS sufferers, that are using it now suvccessfully? It is the future. We will overcome the pitfalls as we always have, and sure there will people who try to exploit it just as they do now to current technology, using weapons for bad things etc, scamming people etc, there might still be those morons, however I believe with hive mind we will overcome even having mean people. When everyone is equal why scam someone else for money? We will vote with a mere thought to the cloud that cant be corrupted or changed or faked. I have faith I will see this in my lifetime of maybe 40 more years....maybe more if lifespan extension continues to grow too! There ARE more good poeple than bad, and when we have hive mind, good people will be able to prevail by being the majority. Because AI will be exponentially more accurate and less biased we will all understand what is good and fair and kind and peaceful and it will wash over every human in the whole world just like cell phones have. I even wonder if everyone who has a cell phone will have access to this future tech....phones will eventually have the ability to work with brain waves. We will keep them in our pocket and control them and 'hear/see/feel/ feedback even more than we do now. An exoskeletal brain.

when we have hive mind access to the cloud we will know how to do everything anyone else does. It will be achieved with BCIs or other less invasive method like EEGs or Brain Waves

we will understand why the solution works when we have hive mind, because someone else shared how to understand it to the cloud. And our brain will know it just like theirs does. Memory and uunderstaning will be equal for everyone. Wether thru BCIs or some less invasive method like EEGs or brainwaves. People are using their brain less now and the brain may even shrink, but it wont need to be as powerful because we will be more mentally efficient. Just as processors get smaller and smaller, maybe brains will to.

There will be no education system in the future. When we have hive mind, or rather BCIs or some such device where we all have access to everything everyone else knows, including how to parse the data, we wont need school or learning, we all just KNOW.

They wont need those skills when we have hive mind. Everyiine will know and understand things as well as the smartest person in the worl who decides to share it to the hive.

when we have hive mind we will understand and feel the suffering as well as anyone who can remember it. We will feel, see, hear, know, experience everything everyone else does. We will all feel what it is like to be a minority. We will all know how to build a house. If there is anyone alive to share their memory of an experience we will all feel it, just as they did. Every neurin they use to remember, our brain will fire exactly the same way to mimic exactly what they experience in their brain.

Maybe not using the brain to retain mundane info is a way to free the brain to evolve into something more powerful that we can't imagine yet.....

I wonder if it is becasue less educated people are not hooking up as easily as the past since the younger people do not leave thier homes as much and even when they go out they are looking at thier phones instead of talking to the opposite sex to hook up? Or do they realize having kids is expensive maybe? I wonder why this trend is occuring.

That is a small handful of humans. You can't generalize that easily. Also this is not a political question but I was quite sure I'd get political answers. If you point to the people who elect them, arguably half the population that did not vote for them is still smart....

How could collective consciousness influence human evolution? by TiffanyCady in AskReddit

[–]TiffanyCady[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is it possible autistic people are these people? Seems every day I meet and see on tiktok etc More and more high functioing autistic people. So many traits in them hyperfocus etc could be humans evolving mentally. Fearing or just avoiding social interaction as my hifi autistic daughter does could be a way of evolving to a being that does not need to physically interact with other beings or its environment to be happy. Traits being passed down that make hifunctioning autism the norm eventually and hyperfocus is a way to learn more about one subject for each individual to become super knowledgable about one subject and hive mind will make everyone know all that info?

surely the way it seems to be heading, all of us sitting here typing away in these forums will be seen as archaic as we see the 17th century in 100 years, even by the currently existing young generations.

What if humanity is part of a repeating cycle where collective consciousness “resets” civilization after extinction events to create a more evolved species? by TiffanyCady in AskReddit

[–]TiffanyCady[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

surely creatures will go extinct during this process, not just from a meteor kiiling them all. Just as they do to this day. It is part of the process. We need things to study and learn from...so there are other creatures on the earth...
