… Our calling is the identification, understanding and assessment of the increasingly rapid developments across a spectrum of disciplines and applying them to generate a matrix of future scenarios covering science, technology, culture, transportion, space exploration, society, augmented human evolution and a host of other factors.

The plan is to detonate an intelligence explosion (leading to a technology-singularity) starting with an open-source Java artificial intelligence (AI) software which networks peoples' minds together through the internet using realtime interactive psychology of feedback loops between mouse movements and generated audio. "Technological singularity refers to the hypothetical future emergence of greater-than human intelligence through technological means." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technologic …

… Your ideas can be as wild as you like, but they must never conflict with the cannon of measurement-based theory collectively called "science". CLINE actively leans away from engineering and toward science. There is something about the immediacy of writing code and designing hardware that grabs hold of our brain, holds us down in the trees, and won't let us float up to where we might see the forest. As a result, there is less and less science in Computer Science. Lots of practice, very little th …

Where else but the Bay Area could you start a moms group full of engineers, programmers and techies of all stripes? This won't be your typical mommies group! We will promote family friendly tech events and other ideas for sharing technology with your kids or getting away for a while with other tech oriented women. Events we promote may be all over the Bay Area, but many of them will be worth the drive.

… Humanists find that science is the best method for determining this knowledge as well as for solving problems and developing beneficial technologies. We also recognize the value of new departures in thought, the arts, and inner experience—each subject to analysis by critical intelligence. Humans are an integral part of nature, the result of unguided evolutionary change. Humanists recognize nature as self-existing. We accept our life as all and enough, distinguishing things as they are from thin …
