ELECTRIC DEVICES
IN YOUR HOUSE USING
AN ELECTRIC 'MIND-READING' HELMET?
THIS HELMET REQUIRES NO BRAIN IMPLANTS!
IT FUNCTIONS BY READING THE ELECTRIC SIGNALS
PASSING THROUGH YOUR SCALP: if you want to turn on
the light in the kitchen, you just wear the helmet, imagine some
preprogrammed mental sign (e.g. imagine your right hand moving), & the switch turns on...
You can buy such helmets online for a mere $400. Yet even cyborg engineering is relatively conservative,
inasmuch as it assumes that organic brains will go on being the command-and-control centers of life......
A bolder approach dispenses with organic parts altogether, and hopes to engineer completely non-organic
beings?! Neural networks will be replaced by intelligent software, which could surf both the virtual and non-
virtual worlds, tree from the limitations of organic chemistry!? After 4 billion years of wandering inside the
kingdom of organic compounds, life will break out into the vastness of the inorganic realm, and will take all
shapes that we cannot envision even in our wildest dreams. After all, also our wildest dreams are still the
product of organic chemistry. Breaking out of the organic realm could also enable life to finally break out of
planet Earth. For 4 billion years life remained confined to this tiny speck of a planet because natural selection
made all organisms utterly dependent on the unique conditions of this flying rock. Not even the toughest
bacteria can survive on MARS!? A non-organic artificial intelligence, in contrast, will find it far easier
to colonize alien planets?! The replacement of organic life by inorganic beings may therefore
sow the seed of a future galactic empire,
ruled by the likes of
Mr Data rather
than Captain
Kirk.
