The "ineluctable" push for Mars is not a survival strategy. It is pure hubris. We can solve these issues easier here. That is not to say doing experiments there is not useful. Of course they are (glad people are working in it)! Said. We can already do most of that work in simulation, here now, and we can do it within the limits of our resources.
Exploration is survival. Still, in time personkind will go extinct. The kosmos is blind, perpetual & pointless. Worse, per Libet & Koch lab demos [1986-88], we are machinoids whose volition is rebuttable. Drive on.
I am not quite ready to go there. Too rigid a line back to the Greeks for me. Appreciate the call out to the research! It seems quite likely physical systems exist to support what appears to be volition to us, but does it matter if this is so? Any given event may not yet have occurred until it does. Even then, we might see splits and both present and future in all states have presence in some space. For us, we still experience (at least most of us) one?
Question for the group: How do the wealthy start including the masses in the world of aboundance before AGI/ASI so we do not have to go throught the dystopian window to aboundance? Seem no the reason for the dystopian window is the greed of those with abundance now who want more befre they are ready to share. Sounds like kindergarten all over again. Didn't these people ever learn anything since kindergarten?
Immense Vulnerability with no end in sight along with unaffordability to secure.

Anthropic on Friday said it discovered 22 new security vulnerabilities in the Firefox web browser as part of a security partnership with Mozilla.
Of these, 14 have been classified as high, seven have been classified as moderate, and one has been rated low in severity. The issues were addressed in Firefox 148, released late last month. The vulnerabilities were identified over a two-week period in January 2026.
The Pakistan-aligned threat actor known as Transparent Tribe has become the latest hacking group to embrace artificial intelligence (AI)-powered coding tools to strike targets with various implants.
The activity is designed to produce a "high-volume, mediocre mass of implants" that are developed using lesser-known programming languages like Nim, Zig, and Crystal and rely on trusted services like Slack, Discord, Supabase, and Google Sheets to fly under the radar, according to new findings from Bitdefender.
"Rather than a breakthrough in technical sophistication, we are seeing a transition toward AI-assisted malware industrialization that allows the actor to flood target environments with disposable, polyglot binaries," security researchers Radu Tudorica, Adrian Schipor, Victor Vrabie, Marius Baciu, and Martin Zugec said in a technical breakdown of the campaign.
If mitochondrial DNA revert to a younger state upon proper exercise by the human, why can't we find a way, dear computermind, to have our nuclear cell DNA also revert to a younger state? As suggested in my fiction work: For the Love of Maggie O'Die. - L Paul Turner

Researchers use X-rays and gravitational waves as complementary tools to observe the most extreme and otherwise invisible regions of space, providing both circumstantial and direct evidence for the existence and properties of black holes.
X-ray Observations: Mapping Accretion and Extremes
Researchers use X-ray astronomy to study the intense energy released as matter interacts with strong gravitational fields.
Identifying Black Hole Candidates: Because black holes do not emit light, scientists look for intense X-ray sources that lack optical or radio counterparts, such as Cygnus X-1, which was first detected via rocket flights in the 1960s.
Studying Accretion Disks: X-rays are emitted as gas and dust spiral into a black hole, forming an accretion disk. By analyzing X-ray "states" and variability through satellites like Uhuru, researchers can model how mass is transferred and consumed.
Diagnosing Relativistic Environments: Scientists analyze specific spectral features, such as relativistic Fe K lines, to study the geometry of accretion flows and the effects of extreme gravity near a black hole.
Monitoring Flares: Observations of X-ray flares from the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*, allow researchers to track variations in the accretion flow immediately surrounding a supermassive black hole.
Disk-Jet Connections: Comparing X-ray data with radio emissions helps scientists understand the "fundamental plane" of black hole accretion, linking the behavior of the internal disk to the powerful jets and winds that blast material back into space.
Gravitational Waves: Observing Spacetime Ripples
Gravitational waves are "ripples" in spacetime produced by violent cosmic events, offering a "window" into the universe that does not depend on light.
Detecting Cataclysmic Mergers: Observatories like LIGO and Virgo use laser interferometry to detect the stretching and squashing of space caused by the collision and merger of black holes. These signals provide the first direct observation of black hole binary systems.
Extracting Physical Characteristics: By comparing detected signals to theoretically predicted waveforms (matched filtering), researchers can calculate the masses, spins, and distances of the merging objects.
Testing Fundamental Physics: Gravitational waves allow scientists to test if Albert Einstein’s general relativity holds up under extreme conditions. For instance, analyzing the signal from the event GW250114 provided a landmark test of Hawking’s area law, confirming that a black hole's surface area does not decrease over time.
Sky Localization: By using a global network of detectors, researchers can triangulate the direction of a gravitational wave source to pinpoint its location in the sky.
Future Space-Based Research: The upcoming LISA mission will use space-based interferometry to detect gravitational waves from supermassive black hole mergers and events from the very early universe that are inaccessible to ground-based detectors.
I would recommend having your book distributed in book, audio, and other ways, i.e. ai synopsis... to engage a human by anyway they are incentivised to learn.
Being proud that Kurzweil is your mentor, is as bad as saying you visited 'the billionaire island".
His transhumanist agenda will suck the soul right out of our humanity. You've been drinking the 'abundance kool aid' from the elite wealthy class for too long now, Peter. You are one of 'them' now. Completely disconnected from the vast majority of people, like every other bureaucrat, politician and member of the elite class. The fact that you somehow believe that the masses will be taken care of by UBI when AI rages through the job force is is absolute insanity. There is absolutely zero evidence that any corporation or politician has done this before...

Peter, I’m truly excited to join everyone at the upcoming MIT event! Looking forward to the discussion and meeting you, Ray and the Mates.
Peter thanks for setting that up, excited to hear what Ray has to say about the future. Will the interview be uploaded to your YT channel?
