Authentic Human Intelligence

Decades preceding this Fourth Industrial Revolution, pundits, data scientists, academics, philosophers, programmers, technologists and social scientists met, spoke and wrote about this time. However, their speculations never scratched the surface of what we are experiencing now.

We understood that artificial intelligence, automation and robotics were replacing human jobs, and that careers and entire industries were going redundant. We knew a crisis was coming our way like a freight train and we were helpless to stop it.

There were speculations about “A.I. taking over human consciousness” and most of us imagined it as a microchip implanted in the brain. Though that technology does exist, it is only multiple fractions of what the reality of it is.

Hindsight 2020, we had no way to predict the intensity of the emotional, health and economic consequences of The Singularity.

Our world has been recreated to accommodate technocracies in the name of Covid-19, as our perceptions of reality are given to us by news, entertainment and social media corporations and daring to question has consequences, especially for the entrepreneur and small business owners.

Conversations about the Universal Basic Income and more stimulus packages as the solution to the massive job and business losses, have over time, addressed enterprising individuals less and less.

As powerful as artificial intelligence is, it is simply artificial and no substitute for authentic human intelligence: curiosity, humor, invention, adaptation, expansion, adventure, and connection with the ineffable source of life.

It’s time for a new conversation to direct the technologies, and we have a small window where for the first time in recorded history, we have both the tools and “”the how”” to meet all needs for all of life.

Now is the time to be bold and authentically ourselves. Now more than ever – the world needs our new ideas, new insights, and unconventional ways of interpreting data.

Likewise, it’s not enough to solely bring about the new and shiny – we have the opportunity to gain wisdom from ancient technologies, philosophies and values that had been inaccessible to us until this age of information, and to anchor ourselves in a world becoming more subjective by algorithms that tailor information to each of us.

It’s good to remember always, that A.I. is an imitator that literally amplifies our beliefs. Bringing our authentic human consciousness (which is unlimited) into relationship with A.I. and with pure hearts and open minds, enables us to bring in a new era of prosperity and peace.
