Predicting the Future of Human Intelligence:
We know that humans acquired, applied, accumulated, bought, sold and stole knowledge for at least the last two millennia. The ability to accumulate knowledge increased greatly when libraries began to store knowledge in written form. Likewise the ability to share and apply knowledge also increased greatly through mechanised printing of written works.
Such abilities increased exponentially in the mid 20th Century with the introduction of and later advances in modern Computing, which can now acquire and apply human knowledge in vast quantities, at unimaginable speed. The mechanisation and industrialisation of human intelligence is now a reality.
This new reality can enable relatively small groups of human beings to:
Devalue or diminish the levels of intelligence of others,
Understand and manipulate the strengths and weaknesses of human nature,
Buy, scrape or steal human knowledge with relative ease,
Control the flow of knowledge, like banks control the flow of our money,
Create levels of dependency on their technology that users will find very difficult or impossible to shake-off or escape from,
Bring further levels of instability to our world that human beings have never experienced before.
