create the matrix (2.0)

the future of artificial intelligence is overwhelmingly feared that we will have no control and not be able to express ourselves freely.

websites/companies/defense organisations all have the possibility of creating an artificial matrix as mentioned here ( http://www.ted.com/conversations/2700/create_the_matrix_for_real.html )

what if we (humans) were to implement this idea? would our freedom be taken away due to artificial fear by the machines that we would destroy the machine itself, or us humans, or the entire planet?

what i suggest is the occasional time of true freedom of thought and expression without machine control for some people at different times, eventually allowing everyone to have true freedom once the core fundamentals of the matrix understands the human condition well enough to trust us.

of course some people will try to abuse their freedom, and this simply means a more limited free-time, or rather, a way for those people to express their free-time more effectively in a different way.

by having shifts of true freedom for different people, the matrix can watch, but not modify their behaviour to find a way for eventual cybernetics to be a part of our lives and still not feel as if we have no true freedom.

true expression of the human psyche is necessary in my opinion, and if the matrix system can trust us, i believe true freedom and access in and out of the matrix would be allowable if we can build that trust.

Closing Statement from griffin tucker

obviously i didn't get much response, again.

i'm not really disappointed, but rather just determined to keep re-writing the idea of creating the matrix in different ways.

    Jul 22 2011: Maybe we are already in a "matrix". The real world seems to be what we can now glimpse with our NDE research. http://bit.ly/NDEresearch

      Jul 23 2011: as far as i'm aware, near death experiences are the physical release of a chemical called DMT in the brain that occurs naturally during sleep.

      being conscious or near-conscious during the same state that occurs normally during sleep can have an affect of an almost euphoric state of mind, where upon past experiences in that person's lifetime (including beliefs, religious or otherwise) will be shown in a different way to what the consciousness usually perceives.

      if we are already in the matrix, what is to stop another one being created? (another matrix inside the matrix)

      but this question is not really relative, what i'm suggesting is rather what if we humans had the ability to control the current matrix itself via means of link mentioned in original proposal? if it exists or not, i see it coming.
