Camryn about herself:

I have had many premonitions in my lifetime. The most intense premonition I've had was one month before the Sept 11 attacks I was at work and I felt an overwhelming sense of doom that filled me with fear. As I looked out the window, I had a very vivid image of an airplane crashing through that window. I was so frightened and I had to take a few moments to get myself together. The second premonition was when I heard a voice tell me, "you will have cancer, but you will survive." Two months later, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undergo a bilateral mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation and reconstructive surgery. Three years later, I am cancer free.

In life we are always changing and evolving and the keys that unlock transformative power are the words we use. I encourage you to seek guidance by using the power of affirmations to catapult change in their lives. Change is difficult but it is often surprising and beautiful. I will be straightforward with you and tell you what I see and sense. I will encourage you not to be afraid of anything because fear is not empowering but destructive. I can help you find that inner peace you\'ve been searching for. At times, life may present you with so many problems that you just don't know what to do. But there is a way, there is always a way. There is no problem that cannot be overcome.

I've often felt as if I was put on this world to provide comfort to those in turmoil and this is my life's purpose, e.g. to heal the soul.

If you are having difficulty coping with issues, such as childhood trauma, alcohol/drug addiction in the family or divorce or health issues, let me bring you comfort and understanding to these most complex and difficult issues.

You may choose to have a psychic reading, tarot reading or angel card reading. My gifts include clairaudience and clairsentience along with the gift of empath.

When I hear your voice or "sense your vibration (in a chat session), I automatically pick up on your vibrational energy and can literally sense or hear what spirit is telling me about you. I trust what I call the "Divine Energy of Life" who has consistently been with me throughout my entire life. It feels like a force field surrounding me with a bright light of protection. Together, you and I along with this divine spirit will find solutions to your each and every problem.

DEIRDRE HADE

Deirdre first began to see energy and speak about this phenomenon at a very early age, but not until her mother, Poet - Katherine Blumer Hade, was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer when Deirdre was fifteen did she understand why. Together, the two women began developing a method of energy work to facilitate core harmony and promote internal and external healing. This lead her mother to live eleven years longer than expected.

Since then, Deirdre’s work has expanded as she developed a system of spiritual awakening and healing based on her life experience of healing and extensive study of the Tree of Life. Her practice of meditation and self-reflection for transpersonal growth is known as Radiance Healing and Radiance Meditation. She has taught this practice to thousands throughout the country, giving Radiance Journeys at the Chopra Center in La Costa, California, the Urban Zen Center in New York City, The ACADEMI of Life in New York City, the Evolutionary Healing Institute in Miami, Florida, Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York, Canyon Ranch Resort in Lenox, Massachusetts and the Woman’s Prison Association of New York.

A pioneer in the art of mystical and healing choreography, Deirdre first applied her gifts as a choreographer and dancer. Deirdre’s dance company, “Celebrations,” performed spiritual dances under grants from the Mid-South and Tennessee Arts Association. She danced with the NYC Opera, choreographed for the Banff Center for the Performing Arts, Opera Memphis and Southern Opera Theater. Deirdre choreographed and performed in the original music video of Stephen Halpern’s Summer Wind.

Deirdre's teachings include: The Radiance Tree of Life, The Radiance Light Journey to Healing, The Daughters of Miriam (DOM — A Woman’s Path to Enlightenment, A Course in Prophesy), The Kingship of Illumination (KI — Empowered Illumination for Men, A Man’s Course in Prophesy). She also partnered with Learning Strategies Corporation to create a comprehensive course on energy-work and self-healing called Radiance Pure Energy. She debuted her crystal bowl composition, The Sounds of Radiance, in the course in collaboration with the Grammy-nominated artist David Young.

The Foundation for Radiance is Deirdre’s non-profit center dedicated to healing those who have suffered from trauma, pain, or loss. In recent years, this organization has worked closely with the Women’s Prison Association of New York as well as providing Deirdre’s signature, “My Angel Pillow  healing care for children in hospitals across the country.

Deirdre is a member of the Transformational Leadership Council, the World Peace Flame, and a founding member of the Association for Transformational Leaders in Southern California. She is featured as a Love Luminary in Marci Shimoff’s book “Love for No Reason,” which has sold over 20 million copies. In Keidi Keating's new book, “The Light,” released in February of 2013, Deirdre is called a Light Luminary and her teachings on the Power of Meditation are featured alongside the writings of other modern day luminaries such as Neil Donaldson Walsh and Don Miguel Ruiz. She has been honored by the Circles of Light under the leadership of Dr. Iziz Fuqua where she received the F.L.O.W.E.R. award for her pioneering work in energy healing and, has received the honor of being knighted by the Sovereign Order of the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem for her humanitarian work.

Deirdre considers her greatest accomplishment that of being the mother of her two children Leilah Katherine Franklin and Eric Harel Franklin.

WILLIAM ARNTZ

William Arntz began his professional career as a research laser physicist, developing wave optics simulators for high energy lasing systems. After a few years of traveling he landed in San Francisco and began studying with his first spiritual teacher, Rama (a.k.a. Dr. Fredrick Lenz). Eventually the students were given the task of writing a software product/company whereupon William wrote “AutoSys” – a distributed event processor. He sold the company 2 years later and retired.

Soon thereafter William began attending the Ramtha School of Enlightenment. While there he became interested in getting some of the principles gleaned from his decades of spiritual inquiry out to the general public. He realized he could satisfy a life long dream and use the software proceeds to make a movie. That movie started life as a small documentary about Spirit and Science, but grew in scope (and budget) and became What the BLEEP Do We Know!? Producing, scripting, and directing the film, What the BLEEP was completed in 2004 and went on to become a global phenomena, with well over 100 million viewers experiencing the BLEEP.

Mr. Arntz then moved on to another film, targeted for a younger crowd, which develops some principles from BLEEP in an sociological, urban setting. The film, GhettoPhysics, and its companion book, addresses the daunting question of how a spiritual being navigates through a world obsessed with power, fame and riches.

As the 10 year anniversary to BLEEP approached William became interested in what the intervening years had produced in the way of changes in science, spirituality and public acceptance of some of the idea put forth in that original movie. And so the long awaited follow up entitled: What the BLEEP – Now WHAT! has begun…

In 1995 William Arntz sold his company and took a year off. He then devised a second successful software company, which he sold nine months after creating it. After “retiring” for the 3rd time he became interested in uniting his 4 great interests: (1) leading edge science, (2) spiritual inquiry, (3) filmmaking and (4) computers. After realizing that with the success of his two software companies he had succeeded in bypassing the onerous task of rising through the ranks, he happily (despite still lacking common sense) embarked upon the creation of “What the #$*! Do We Know?”

James Strait a retired professional pilot who started as a youthful Special Forces soldier. Along that way I flew over 100 different makes, models, categories of airplanes along with accumulating over 3000 skydives. I also owned two small companies that provided one off proto-types and testing for parachute systems, both civilian and military. After retirement in 2006 I became a talk radio host in the Philadelphia  market. I was active from 2006-2012 as the host of "Strait Talks". I recently disabled my radio hosting website. As a result of interviewing the principles of "Weird NJ" I was hired to write "Weird Missouri". I followed the first book with three novels, and am working on a fourth novel now.  As an on air guest I can speak at length and in depth about the military, aviation, skydiving, writing, radio broadcasting, publishing, and...politics.  

Writing, editing, mentoring, spiritual directing,  singing, skiing,  jewelry making,  curly-haired word nerd

I am a communications professional with over twenty-five years of experience in writing, editing, media, public relations, marketing, corporate training, event planning, and fundraising. All of these jobs were interesting and fun but I finally found my tribe when I met all the other “word nerds” in the University of Washington editing certificate program and at the Northwest Independent Editors Guild. I realized that I wasn’t the only one who loved reading the dictionary or diagramming sentences.

As an author and freelance writer-editor for nearly two decades, my articles, essays, and columns have appeared in books, professional journals, regional newspapers, newsletters, magazines, and websites. I was even fortunate enough to earn the coveted “above-the-fold” newspaper placement as well as magazine cover articles.

Recently as an editor, I have worked with amazing physicians doing great healing work and writing books about it. Years ago, I was also one of the founding writer-editors for a regional website that won an Edward R. Murrow award for Best Television Site (Small Markets). Early in my career, I produced entertainment and marketing video content, winning a “best marketing video” award from the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Writing and Editing Work includes:

• • non-fiction books
  • writing and/or editing website copy
  • press releases and marketing materials

MICHAEL BAER started the online campaign to Abolish the Electoral College on MoveOn.org (https://petitions.moveon.org/sign/abolish-the-electoral-6?source=c.fwd&r_by=4535897).



Abolishing the Electoral College would require an amendment to the U.S. Constitution.  Michael would like to see presidential elections decided by the popular vote. One person; one vote should determine the one leader who is supposed to answer to all the people of America.

For the first two years, Michael’s petition received only 2,000 signatures.  In the last 10 days, it has received more than a half a million additional signatures.  The petition will be delivered to the President of the United States, and members of the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives.

Mr. Baer currently lives in Monterey, California, where he focuses on Somatic healing for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for war veterans and their families. 

Mehran Tavakoli Keshe

Mehran Tavakoli Keshe was born in Iran in 1958. As the son of an X-ray engineer, he was introduced to the world of radiation and nuclear science at a very young age. In 1981 he graduated from Queen Mary College, University of London, as a nuclear engineer specializing in reactor technology system control.

Unsatisfied with the nuclear technology of the time, Mr. Keshe went on to develop his own system for the production of gravity and energy using a small plasma reactor that is clean and safe. He covered all aspects of the design of a new plasma nuclear system from the very beginning to its present stage. This has included the design, the fuel, the testing and practical applications.

Since 2002 he has been developing the full range of his technology for launch into the scientific world and industry.

European and international patents for the technology were applied for in early October 2005 for all aspects of possible use of the new technology, covering some hundreds of applications.

At the end of 2005, several static plasma reactors were built to confirm the theoretical principles of the technology. These static reactors all work at room temperature and at normal atmospheric pressure, and provide voltage and current.

Since the beginning of 2006 several prototypes of dynamic plasma reactors specifically designed to achieve lift and motion have been built and successfully tested.

Through the development of these new systems, deposits of nano-carbon have been generated, and Raman spectroscopy has confirmed that these are in Sp2 and Sp3 form.

The use of plasma reactors for health purposes has been tested, in cooperation with doctors. Some of the results achieved in these trials can be seen in the Health section of the Keshe Foundation website.

A paper was published about the direct capture of CO2 and CH4 from the environment, where the CO2 and CH4 were in a liquid state at room temperature and room pressure. The CO2 and CH4 were proven by IR and XRD spectroscopy performed by a Belgian university.

In July 2009, the first book, "The Universal Order of Creation of Matters" was published. In early 2011, the second book, "The Structure of the Light" was published. In October 2011, the third book, "The Origin of the Universe" was published. Several further books are currently being completed.

During the past decade, Mr Keshe has been actively teaching the Magrav plasma theory, as well as presenting the concepts of World Peace that must accompany the release of such technology. In 2015, Peace initiatives include, "The Peace Roadmap", a paper which outlines the procedure for establishing the promised World Peace. A Peace Treaty proposal to the Vatican is delivered by Keshe in Rome. In October 2015, The 3rd annual World Ambassador's Meeting, "Free Energy In Exchange For World Peace", was held at SSI with many nations in attendance. A Magravs Power Unit was presented to each of the ambassadors. All those who manufacture, distribute or receive Magrav Units are required to sign the World Peace Treaty.

In 2014, Mr Keshe opened the SSI lab to live 24/7 video. SSI lab tests with reactors, showed strong magnetic field pulses (up to 129 Tesla), and weight changes that have been recorded.

Fukushima Radiation Decontamination tests were done in Japan in 2014, with the nano-materials created in the SSI labs, in co-operation with the government of Japan. Mr Keshe wrote the paper, "Keshe Foundation Contribution to Fukushima Decontamination Solution".

Other recent papers from Mr Keshe include, "Oil, Gas, Protein and the Earth", "Bacteria and Viruses", "A New State of Matter (Gans)", "Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)" and "The Unknown Truth about Homeopathy"

Throughout 2014 and 2015, Mr Keshe has developed and released products to the public based on the SSI lab technology.

The products include the "CO2 Capture Kit", which demonstrates how Keshe nano-technology can create useful new materials. The "Pain Aid Pad" and "Pain Pen" products are now available for processing pain. Most recently, the "Magravs Power Unit", has been manufactured, which is a plug-in plasma source that reduces energy requirements.  In October 2015, Mr Keshe taught a popular week-long course called, "The Blueprint Teachings" about how to build the Magravs Power Units.

The Keshe teachings continued through 2015, with live online classes from the Spaceship Institute, and the weekly Knowledge Seeker Workshops. Hundreds of movies and videos have been published on Youtube, Facebook, and websites around the world, with many thousands of people following and practising the Keshe technology. Mr Keshe continues to give knowledge and show practical demonstrations on how to create nano-materials, new substances, energy, and lift.

Keshe Foundations are being founded in many nations around the world, including in USA, Canada, India, and Germany.

Aug Tellez is one of many who were participants in "underground" secret programs...

"I was shown many things by those who work behind the scenes.  The Unveiling is a series of events brought about by the necessity and capacity of the human race and this civilization to come to the awareness of the true nature of the corruption of power as well as the reality of the soul.

Many people are here to help perform this task; they are ex-operatives, researchers, healers, travelers, scientists, and so on.  I am here to assist in informing the public of "The Unveiling".  I was cloned and utilized as part of a secret underground breakaway military operation.  This is an entire breakaway civilization that uses very advanced technology to dominate the world.  This isn't to say that there are no groups of military operating for the benefit of humanity.

I believe we have come to this age in civilization because of an increase in human awareness as well as various factions working in their own ways towards the preservation and protection of the Human race.  I was part of a genetic engineering program that sought to combine various elements of DNA from various sources in order to create a more easily controlled yet powerful and defined person.  This involved chemicals, advanced scalar wave technology, ritual trauma and programming/mind-control, and many other aspects of conditioning, training, secret operations, physical enhancements, cognitive enhancements, virtual reality, off-world operations, temporal manipulation, spiritual and etheric training, conditioning or programming.

This is just the beginning; these operations span this civilization and involve advanced technology that goes far beyond what is released publicly."

Prof. Dr. Hugo de GARIS

Retired, Summer 2010

In the summer of 2010, I retired from my job as Director of the Artificial Brain Lab (ABL), Xiamen University, China, at the age of 63, to concentrate on my strongest intellectual interests of pure math and mathematical physics, and pushing the “species dominance” and “globist” issues. During the period 2008-2010 I was building China’s first artificial brain by evolving neural net modules in $10,000 super computers very fast (seconds to minutes) and then connecting them into humanly specified architectures to make artificial brains to control the behaviors of robots. This evolutionary approach I labeled “Evolutionary Engineering.”

I am now (what I call) ARCing, (i.e. After Retirement Careering). I have longevity genes, take multi-vitamins and exercise vigorously for 15 minutes every day, so I expect to live into my 90s, i.e. 25+ more years, a big block of time. Since I  am now  no longer a wage slave, I am free to do what I like, and live off my American savings, which go 7 times further in China, given the much lower cost of living, so I can afford to retire much earlier.

Globacator (Global Educator)

Starting in 2012, I began making Masters and PhD level YouTube lecture course videos in Pure Math, Math Physics, and Computer Theory to educate students around the world in these topics for free. I also set up an e-library in these topics plus philosophy, brain, etc for students to use.

Movies

Over the past few years I have appeared in about a movie a year on the species dominance issue (whether humanity should build artilects (artificial intellects) or not.)  The number of invitations to appear in the world media has picked up considerably after the appearance of the Hollywood movie “Transcendence” which I suspect was based on my book “The Artilect War”

Current Life Style

 My life style now is rather unusual. I spend my afternoons in my favorite beautiful park (see the Photos section) and study and read all night, going to bed after the sun comes up. I love the quiet of the night, and can close in on my own thoughts, which come quickly at night. I’m obviously a night person.

Books and Essays

I have read that the average scientific published paper is read by only one other person. So perhaps for years, to earn a salary, I have been churning out 150 published papers that have barely been read. That is rather dispiriting. So now, I feel free to do what I like, which is to study intensively PhD level pure mathematics and mathematical physics to write books on such topics as Topological Quantum Computing (TQC), for which I have a contract with World Scientific, (as well as on Artificial Brains, with the same publisher). I am also very interested in the possibility of a femto meter technology (“Fermitech”), so I’m hunting around for phenomena at the femto meter level (quarks, gluons, nucleons, nuclei, etc) that might serve as a basis  for a technology that is a million times smaller and hence faster than nanotech. I also plan to write books on  a host of social and technical topics. Here is a list of  possible future book titles, which are rather self explanatory.

a) Masculism (i.e. Mens Lib, pushing the idea that girls around the world should be raised to be career conscious and hence financially independent  as adults so as not to parasite off mens money.)

b) Sageism (i.e.  Discrimination against the Sages (wise knowledgeable intellectuals))

c) Mathematical God

d) Fermitech

e) Democratization Plan for China

f)  Brain Theory

g) ARCing (After Retirement Careering)

h)  Science vs. PC (using science to attack popular myths)

etc.

I also write essays on a range of topics, mostly concerning the rise of massively intelligent machines (e.g. see the essays on  this  website), and on globism (the ideology in favor of creating a global state), plus other social and technical topics.

Species Dominance Publicity

One of my strongest interests is in promoting  worldwide an awareness of the “Species Dominance Issue”, i.e. the question whether humanity should or should not build godlike massively intelligent  machines this  century. I see this question dominating our global politics this  century and will eventually lead to the worst, most passionate war that humanity has ever had, “The Artilect War” which will  kill  billions of people (“gigadeath”) using later 21st century weapons. I get regularly in the international media on this issue,  and the frequency of such occurrences is increasing, as the performance level of artificial intelligence keeps increasing (e.g. IBM’s Watson’s recent defeat of the best human performers on the quiz game “Jeopardy”) My first book “The Artilect War : Cosmists vs. Terrans : A Bitter Controversy Concerning Whether Humanity Should Build Godlike Massively Intelligent Machines” (see the  Books section) was on the issue of species dominance.  See the Media section for my appearances on the world media on  this huge question.

Globist Publicity

Another topic that obsesses me is Globism, i.e. the  ideology in favor of  creating a global  state, that would rid the world of war, of the arms trade, nuclear weapons, ignorance and poverty. I see the annual  doubling of the speed of the internet (and many other factors) enabling the creation of this world state (that I call “Globa”) by mid century. My second book “Multis and Monos : What the Multi-Cultured Can Teach  the  Mono-Cultured : Towards the Creation of a Global State” is about Globism. I’m hoping that my species dominance publicity will give me more opportunities in the future to present Globist ideas to the world. I’m as optimistic about Globism as I am pessimistic about the Artilect War. For articles and media appearances on  the theme of Globa, see the tab “GLOBA”(L) State on my website.

Pre Retirement Resume/CV

This section is more history than anything. It gives an idea of what I was doing with  the first “half” of my career. The  second half I’m beginning now, that I call ARCing.  Its a second career, wageless, so I’m free to do what I like, which is most liberating.

Current Research

Now that I am in my 60s, and ARCing (i.e. After Retirement Careering, which I describe as “wage free careering in the third third of life”) I have returned (after working 20 years on artificial brains) to my old love of mathematical physics, studying intensively PhD level pure math and mathematical physics, with the view of writing several books on math/physics topics, such as “Topological Quantum Computing” and “Fermitech”.

Fermitech

I am now actively hunting down phenomena in physics at the femtometer scale that might serve as substrates to allow computation and engineering at that tiny scale. Since a femtometer (a.k.a. a “Fermi”) is 10^-15 of a meter, to find such phenomena implies that one should be hunting at the nuclear, nucleon, and elementary particle levels. Hence one should be studying nuclear physics, elementary particles physics, QCD (quantum chromo dynamics), etc. I spend my afternoons in my favorite (beautiful) park, and my nights in my apartment, studying the following subjects in pure math, and theoretical physics, partly because of a deep inherent love of these topics, as well as being motivated to use this knowledge to try to find bases for a fermitech.

 In pure math, I’m studying :- finite groups, abstract algebra, Lie theory, general topology, algebraic topology, algebraic geometry , smooth manifolds, complex manifolds, representation theory, ring theory, Galois theory, knot theory, quantum groups, low dimensional topology, etc.

 In theoretical physics, I’m studying :- quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, nuclear physics, elementary particle physics, quantum electrodynamics (QED), quantum chromodynamics (QCD), special and general relativity, gauge theory, supersymmetry (SUSY), supergravity, superstring theory, M-theory, brane theory, conformal field theory (CFT), topological quantum field theory (TQFT), topological quantum computing (TQC), etc.

 At the top end of both subjects, low dimensional topology and gauge theory have merged, thanks to the genius of Ed Witten, today’s Einstein, and the only physicist ever to have won the coveted Fields Medal for mathematics. I call this math-physics merge “mathics”.

Topological Quantum Computing (TQC)

In 1997, Kitaev had the idea of storing quantum bits in topological quantum fields, which are robust against local distrubance, and hence in theory could make quantum computers robust and hence scalable to large numbers of quantum bits. Since quantum computers can outperform today’s classical computers by a factor of 2 to power N, where N is the number of qubits in a quantum register, quantum computers will utterly eclipse classical computers and revolutionize everything – physics, chemistry,  biology, economics, politics etc. Ministries of education will be phoning the presidents of major universities instructing them that their institutions are to teach TQC, for the economic health of the country. Deans of computer science will then be shocked to learn how heavily mathematical  physics based TQC is, and will be forced to revolutionize their computer science curricula, which in  effect will become much  more pure math and math physics based. Since pure math and math physics are intellectually the most demanding on campus, the future status of computer science will rise to the same level as pure math and math physics.

I am contracted with World Scientific (Singapore) to write the planet’s first text book on the  topic of TQC. It will either be a tome of about 800 pages or will consist of several books, since there is  so  much heavy math and physics to explain.

So, I have my plate full, undertaking an ambitious program of study and keeping an idea note book on my desk, that I’m constantly jotting ideas into.

This book’s main idea is that this century’s global politics will be dominated by the "species dominance" issue. 21st century technologies will enable the building of artilects (artificial intellects, artificial intelligences, massively intelligent machines) with 1040 components, using reversible, heatless, 3D, molecular scale, self assembling, one bit per atom, nano-teched, quantum computers, which may dwarf human intelligence levels by a factor of trillions of trillions and more.

The question that will dominate global politics this century will be whether humanity should or should not build these artilects. Those in favor of building them are called "Cosmists" in this book, due to their "cosmic" perspective. Those opposed to building them are called "Terrans," as in "terra," the Earth, which is their perspective. The Cosmists will want to build artilects, amongst other reasons, because to them it will be a religion, a scientist's religion that is compatible with modern scientific knowledge.

The Cosmists will feel that humanity has a duty to serve as the stepping-stone towards building the next dominant rung of the evolutionary ladder. Not to do so would be a tragedy on a cosmic scale to them. The Cosmists will claim that stopping such an advance will be counter to human nature, since human beings have always striven to extend their boundaries. Another Cosmist argument is that once the artificial brain based computer market dominates the world economy, economic and political forces in favor of building advanced artilects will be almost unstoppable. The Cosmists will include some of the most powerful, the richest, and the most brilliant of the Earth's citizens, who will devote their enormous abilities to seeing that the artilects get built. A similar argument applies to the military and its use of intelligent weaponry. Neither the commercial nor the military sectors will be willing to give up artilect research unless they are subjected to extreme Terran pressure.

To the Terrans, building artilects will mean taking the risk that the latter may one day decide to exterminate human beings, either deliberately or through indifference. The only certain way to avoid such a risk is not to build them in the first place. The Terrans will argue that human beings will fear the rise of increasingly intelligent machines and their alien differences. To build artilects will require an "evolutionary engineering" approach. The resulting complexities of the evolved structures that underlie the artilects will be too great for human beings to be able to predict the behaviors and attitudes of the artilects towards human beings. The Terrans will be prepared to destroy the Cosmists, even on a distant Cosmist colony, if the Cosmists go ahead with an advanced artilect building program.

In the short to middle term, say the next 50 years or so, the artificial brain based industries will flourish, providing products that are very useful and very popular with the public, such as teacher robots, conversation robots, household cleaner robots, etc. In time, the world economy will be based on such products. Any attempt to stop the development of increasingly intelligent artilects will be very difficult, because the economic and political motivation to continue building them will be very strong in certain circles. If the brain-based computer industries were to stop their research and development into artilects, then many powerful individuals, including the artilect company presidents and certain politicians will lose big money and political influence. They will not give up their status without a fight.

However, as the intelligence levels of the early artilects increases, it will become obvious to everyone that the intelligence gap between these artificial-brain-based products and human beings is narrowing. This will create a growing public anxiety. Eventually, some nasty incident or series of incidents will galvanize most of society against further increase of artificial intelligence in the artilects, leading to the establishment of a global ban on artilect research.

The Cosmists however, will oppose a ban on the development of more intelligent artilects, and will probably go underground. If the incidents continue and are negative enough, the anger and hatred of the Terrans towards the Cosmists will increase to the point where the Cosmists may decide that their fate is to leave the Earth, an option that is quite realistic with 21st century technology.

Since the Cosmists will include some of the most brilliant and economically powerful people on the planet, they will probably create an elite conspiratorial organization whose aim is to build artilects secretly.

The book presents a scenario in which the Cosmists create an asteroid-based colony, masked by some innocuous activity. In reality, this secret society devises a weapon system superior to the best on the Earth. With their wealth and the best human brains, this may be achievable. They will also start making advanced artilects. If the Terrans on the Earth discover the true intentions of the Cosmists, they will probably want to destroy them, but not dare to because of the counter threat of the Cosmists with their more advanced weapons. The stage is thus set for a major 21st century war in which billions of people die – "gigadeath."

This horrific number is derived from an extrapolation up the graph of the number of deaths in major wars from the beginning of the 19th century to the end of the 21st century. Approximately 200 million people died in the 20th century, for political reasons -- wars, purges, genocides, etc.

The profound schizophrenia that the author feels on the Cosmist/Terran species dominance issue will be felt by millions of people within a few years he expects. There is probably Cosmist and Terran in nearly all of us, which may explain why this issue is so divisive. The author is simply one of the first to feel this schizophrenia. Within a decade it may be all over the planet.

The last chapter of the book closes with a repetition of a pithy slogan that summarizes the two main viewpoints in the artilect debate in a nutshell; a debate that the author believes will be raging in the coming decades.

"Do we build gods, or do we build our potential exterminators?"

Michael Sage Hider graduated with a B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering. Having been in the Air Force ROTC Program, he was selected as part of a very elite group of engineers to participate in underground nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site, performing tests which required the detonation of low yield atomic bombs.  After active duty, Hider entered the Seminary and later majored in Philosophy with a strong minor in Psychology. Seeking more personal freedom, he entered Law School and became a very successful trial attorney, he ran for and was elected a California Superior Court Judge. Michael was elected by his peers on several occasions, as Presiding Judge of the Court. He received numerous awards and honors including the Judicial Officer of the Year from the County Bar Association.  Outside the Court, Hider taught courses in science, philosophy, and law at Colleges and Universities.  It was during his tenure as a judge, and using anecdotes from the courtroom, that he authored the acclaimed book, “Spiritual Healing-Making Peace with Your Past,” now in its second printing by Tate Publishing. After thirty years on the Bench, Hider retired and spends his time as a sought-after motivational speaker.
