Making the Consciousness Singularity a Reality, the devil's in the details Options

[lucid_dream]

Ok, enough wishy-washy fluffy talk of the Consciousness Singularity, how do we do this thing? I want details. No crystalline, chakra, or third-eye nonsense. Just suggestions rooted in hard facts. Here are some concrete ideas for bringing about the Consciousness Singularity:

FIRST STEP: Establish transpersonal consciousness

1) expand cingulate cortex and synchronize with other people's

2) synchronize thalamic rhythms between people

3) synchronize other brain activities between people

4) screw synchrony, let's hardwire two brains together

5) let's try augmenting one or two people's brains, either by enlarging, enhancing plasticity, or doing something else

another way, genetic engineering:
In the July 19, 2002, Science, Walsh and his colleague Anjen Chenn, now at Northwestern University School of Medicine in Chicago, described genetically engineered mice (targetting the gene beta-catenin) that develop cerebral cortexes with greatly increased surface area, so much so that the mouse brains have a more humanlike, wrinkled appearance. "It looks as if these wrinkles don't require any special genetic tricks. It seems to be a passive response to having a brain that's bigger than your head," says Walsh.

There are scientific report out there which might contradict your data, there, Lucid. For Example, It's a proven fact that the longer we stay married, the smaller the overall male brain-size will become. And, oddly enough, so does our wallet size, and even our weight, in some of us. But women star shooting the opposite. They stop dieting for one thing, that could be a cause of their winning weight, as we lose it.

Trip, if you want to start your own thread, go ahead but do not hijack mine or post derogatory remarks or they will be deleted.

This may be due to our brains shrinking as we grow older, and not due to marriage per se. Do you remember the study that implicated marriage?

As a said, my concept of god is still open for discussion. Although he seems to have found a pulpit here.

I don't understand, is this a thread you're referring to?

Codebuttons, why do you think Yoga synchronizes brain activities between people?

No, but it refers to the post on this thread that you just deleted.

I didn't delete your post. I moved off-topic posts to a separate thread, which were mostly Trip's posts but also I guess included one of your posts, Codebuttons. Trip deleted that thread, including your post. Apparently he could delete the thread since his post appeared first on the thread, which meant he was considered the thread creator and could thus delete the thread, which he did. So maybe you should be asking Trip why he deleted your post.
