UTMC

This is for those like me who got up way too early in their jammys in the '60s to watch the Mercury and later the Apollo
launches. As many as we could. Watched all of the Star Treck shows. OCD on space stuff.

Check this out.

That sounds like it's straight the fuck out of The Expanse. I gotta read the whole page, but... yeah, we gotta diversify our holdings, get some of the humans somewhere other than Terra.

Hm. Interesting.
"But you can't have your mind loaded up into some computer! You would no longer be human, that is disgusting, ..." etc., etc.
My body, or what's left of it, is fucked up. As is my mind, and the hardware the latter is running on. An upgrade is most definitely in order.
When, over the past few years, I read about some Noosphere or another, I was like "... yeah, why not...". If there's Google-Earth 3D and some plug of SBK (the computer-game series) in there ... hells yeah.
If I can be a digital entity and simulate whatever body I'd like, so could everybody else in there. And things made from lace. Or latex (or both?!). There will be the inevitable horde of Eccentrica Gallumbits pretenders. But also infinite interesting varieties.
When all we are is mind, and our bodies are simulacra we build from thought, everybody could be anything they want to be. Most, if not all, of the petty little categories we shove each other into wouldn't be a hindrance anymore. They would be irrelevant. When you see someone and you must consider they look like that because they want to look like that ... those who'd be "unfashionable" would immediately becoming the interesting crowd. Once that has sunk in, so must the logical conclusion. That even those who are desperate to be fashionable are more than what is on the surface. I'm not thinking about some hippie paradise pink-unicorn bullshit. No, the pink unicorns will be fierce warhorses there, and people won't all love each other. Yeez, it would be horrible if they did. But they would be forced to base their opinions on one another on higher grounds than superficialities like tastes or preference. They would not find abandoning judging others based on the latter not so difficult, they already had to get rid of judging people from their appearance, haven't they.

No, I wouldn't be worried about being stuck in such a construct with a bunch of nutjobs. When the barrier between all knowledge and the brain disappears, with practically infinite processing powers for each of our minds, I should expect some hash-fields and validation methods in each object (yes, I expect the noosphere will be object-oriented, possibly self-compiling, yet "fix it with a hammer" simple at it's core. All in XML, or something. NOT MySQL, NO, that is a deal-breaker!). Not even imposed on anyone, least of all the nutters. They'd insist on such to avoid anyone meddling with their mind! Anyone who maintains false-memories and bogus conclusions to any ideas, those who wouldn't give up the truthery, and instead strap on their lacelatex outfits, will be too busy trying to build new idiocies from an infinite fount of knowledge at their disposal and wouldn't bother anyone.
Would, inevitably, find the the errors in their fairy tales and become the wisest, yet humblest, entities within that noosphere.

The only thing that worries me is whether or not I'd get to remain an individual. That is the core property of humanity that, imho, cannot be removed without removing humanity itself. But I'm ready to wait and see. Maybe there'll be a plug-in. I've signed the fuck up.

Wow!

I missed ALL of that in the prospectus.

Will have to re-read!

Can we please start with conservatives and religious wackos?

Be nice to have a planet with people who give a crap about people outside their tiny bubble and aren't so damn gullible.
