I see the current hyperconnectivity state as similar to what happens in human babies brains. They are much more hyperconnected than the adult brain. To the Baby everything is a black swan event. The more connected we get we revert to that state where info is flooding in (similar to the brain on lsd etc). The ability to handle that load/decide what to focus on/what to filter out hasn't yet developed (and requires a culling of connections as we learn). Much like the baby bumbles about precariously in that state, similar story is playing out with our networked hive mind. Everything is mesmerizing or frightening until we learn to cull the connections and reduce the hyperconnectivity Based on Allison Gopniks work - https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-is-it-like-t... https://www.edge.org/conversation/alison_gopnik-a-separate-k... |
