CascadiaPrime Refocus

CascadiaPrime is refocusing on technological, economic and social aspects of Singularity related issues.

On Google + My Channel " TheCascadiaPrime " will feature playlists of videos that focus on Artificial General Intelligence and robotics and a range of Singularity topics.

On Tweeter at PJ_Muncaster you will find daily links to related developments.

Issues related to continental integration and political reformulation of the state, province, and local governments will remain a feature of CascadiaPrme but will become background rather than foreground. The reason is one of timeframe.

The major impacts of the Singularity will begin before any conceivable schedule for a deepened NA integration. It has always been a longer term probability. Singularity impacts may create circumstances that will accelerate NA integrative forces but the wider issues of global integration and redefinition of the human condition inherent in singularity developments are likely to feature more prominently.

I expect that Singularity issues will become more prominent in public discussion in the years ahead. There are already disturbing signs emerging that suggest the potential for widespread social discontinuity occasioned by singularity employment impacts and religious and ideological fracturing as the technological and economic fabric is shaken. In time a new cultural and economic paradigm will emerge but suffice it to say that most world views will be altered beyond recognition for what is about to occur has no historical precedent. Therein lies perhaps the most prominent risk associated with the Singularity - the loss of social cohesion on a scale not witnessed before. When worldviews crumble they occasion enormous psychological shock and potential for anger - particularly in individuals and communities without an adaptive mindset.

The news will not all be bad. In fact there is potential for a new golden age to emerge. The world is what we make it.
