We're entering a Non Natural, Man Made Future, via so-called Artificial Intelligence...according to that way of thinking.

How can anything involved with computing, or the www, be Artificial...in the Non Natural sense?

We made the gadget...put everything in here...and we are Nature.

Until we recognize, realize, and get comfortable with this fact, were screwed.

It's Human Intelligence contained, and refined.

We've finally come up with a way to spread it around...in the natural course of events...what else would we do...as proud as we are of our self-endowed superior intellect?

...look what I know...look what I know...everybody loves it...

The Grand Result will certainly be a form of Artifice*.

There's nothing here that someone didn't already know.

The test is, "What do we do with this device...now that we all can know?"

My hope is to project positive energy into said Grand Result.

Because the future is in here.

This is the most powerful device ever realized by Humanity.

So far, it's being abused by Megalomaniacal Geeks and Twisted Teens.

As far as 'look what I know' goes...here's what I think...

Let's do better!

*Artifice...clever, skillful, ingenious, inventive...then...insincere, tricky, deceptive, crafty...the list goes on...getting progressively negativer.
