"Your life is a dream. It’s a dream of reality. When I woke up one morning, I got poetically epiphanized: To us, our dreams at night feel 'oh-so-real' when inside them but they are what they are – dreams against the backdrop of daily reality. Our daily reality is like nightly dreams against the backdrop of the larger reality. This is something we all know deep down to be true. This purposeful computational process is centered around one objective, one guiding principle only, one 'raison d’être' – to produce a meaningful experience in the context of 'embodied' mind." -Excerpt from The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution by Alex Vikoulov, available now on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Syntellect-Hypothesis-Paradigms-Minds-Evolution/dp/1733426140 #SyntellectHypothesis #FiveParadigms #MindsEvolution #CyberneticSingularity #LucidDream #EmbodiedMind #consciousness #evolution #mind https://www.instagram.com/p/B8XvU4WhQvA/?igshid=10zwsryz758ij

From a new science of consciousness to simulation metaphysics, from evolutionary cybernetics to computational physics, from physics of time and information to quantum cosmology, this novel explanatory theory for a deeper understanding of reality is combined into one elegant theory of everything (ToE). Material worlds come and go, but fundamental consciousness is ever-present, as the multiverse ontology is shown to be testable. Phenomenal "local" mind is "cybernetically" emergent from the underlying functional organization, whereas holistic "non-local" consciousness is transcendentally imminent. https://www.alexvikoulov.com/2022/04/cybernetic-theory-interpretive-model-of-everything.html #CyberneticTheory #EvolutionaryCybernetics #PhilosophyofMind #QuantumTheory #PhysicsofTime #Futurism #Transhumanism #Posthumanism #Theosophy #SimulationMetaphysics #Phenomenology #QuantumCosmology #ComputationalPhysics #ScienceofConsciousness #TheoryofEverything #SyntellectHypothesis https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccs2R9iLizg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Cybernetic Theory (of Mind), or the CTM model, is an integral multidisciplinary ontological model aimed to explain to the best of our epistemic foundation the ultimate nature of reality, consciousness, physics of time, computational physics, philosophy of mind, interpretive models of quantum physics, technological singularity, transhumanism/posthumanism, impending phase transition of humanity, simulation metaphysics, economic theory, extended Gaia theory, cybertheosophy, all of which is combined into one elegant Theory of Everything. https://www.ecstadelic.net/e_news/the-cybernetic-theory-novel-toe-for-deeper-understanding-of-reality #CyberneticTheoryofMind #EvolutionaryCybernetics #PhilosophyofMind #QuantumTheory #PhysicsofTime #Futurism #Transhumanism #Posthumanism #Theosophy #SimulationMetaphysics #Phenomenology #QuantumCosmology #ComputationalPhysics #ScienceofConsciousness #TheoryofEverything #SyntellectHypothesis #AlexVikoulov https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbs3Y8pPnjK/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Even when we wage wars or have conflicting opinions, it’s nothing less than the Global Mind having an internal dialogue, testing different ideas and hypotheses... What seems chaos on one level is harmony on another," writes Alex Vikoulov in his magnum opus The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution (2020) with deepest insights on our existential circumstances and invaluable foresights for our accelerating future -- available on Amazon as eBook, paperback, hardcover, and audiobook: https://www.amazon.com/Syntellect-Hypothesis-Paradigms-Minds-Evolution/dp/1733426140 *Author Page on Amazon: www.amazon.com/author/alexvikoulov #SyntellectHypothesis #FiveParadigms #MindsEvolution #AlexVikoulov https://www.instagram.com/p/Caez6FTLFlA/?utm_medium=tumblr

"This is a brilliant and complex book with a vast scope, and consequently a challenge to review in a few paragraphs. It’s an entire graduate University course in 525 dense pages! I found myself taking copious notes and copying many paragraphs I may wish to quote in my own books on these topics," writes Oberon Zell in his review of The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution by Alex M. Vikoulov. https://www.ecstadelic.net/top-stories/theogenesis-awakening-review-of-the-syntellect-hypothesis #SyntellectHypothesis https://www.instagram.com/p/CaKuS_1pb8_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Filmed in San Francisco, The Matrix Resurrections is so "close to my shirt" and my philosophy. If you want to dive deeper beyond the allegory of The Matrix, then you should read The Syntellect Hypothesis, my take on the ultimate truth of our existence. If you wonder whether life is a game, what kind of virtual game is that, then my magnum opus is for you, my dear friend! https://www.amazon.com/Syntellect-Hypothesis-Paradigms-Minds-Evolution/dp/1733426140 #SyntellectHypothesis #MatrixResurrections https://www.instagram.com/p/CX0TtpbLZp8/?utm_medium=tumblr

The lives of infomorphs (or ‘cyberhumans’) who have no permanent bodies but possess near-perfect information-handling abilities, will be dramatically different from ours. Infomorphs will achieve the ultimate morphological freedom. Any infomorph will be able to have multiple cybernetic bodies which can be assembled and dissembled at will by nanobots in the physical world if deemed necessary, otherwise most time will be spent in the multitude of virtual bodies in virtual environments. An advanced multividual info-being could “shape-shift,” “multi-body-task” and “ghost” anywhere, anytime, and across virtual dimensions. The difference between physical and artificially created realities will not matter much anymore. https://alexvikoulov.medium.com/first-look-over-the-event-horizon-of-singularity-your-future-life-as-a-cyberhuman-c7b716c50ca0 #EvolutionaryCybernetics #cyberhuman #infomorph #SyntellectHypothesis #GlobalBrain #GlobalMind https://www.instagram.com/p/CMsRmXWACRy/?igshid=1c5pg0ws8pdzu

"By contemplating the full spectrum of scenarios of the coming technological singularities, many can place their bets in favor of the Cybernetic Singularity which is the surest path to cybernetic immortality and engineered godhood as opposed to the AI Singularity when Homo sapiens is hastily retired as a senescent parent. This meta-system transition from the networked Global Brain to the Gaian Mind is all about evolution of our own individual minds; it’s all about our own Self-Transcendence." -Alex M.

“You are the ultimate reality, change the perspective and your life becomes a mirage. Examine a DNA molecule through an electron microscope, or observe Earth from orbit, or drop LSD for innerspace psychedelica, and you’ll ascertain equally valid layers of hyperreality accessible to us modern humans. These 'layers of truth' would seem very weird to a prehistoric caveman, and levels of hyperreality are going to turn out far stranger than our wildest imaginings.” -Alex M.

In the sixties of the previous century, the science of Cybernetics emerged, which its founder Norbert Wiener defined as “the scientific study of control and communication in the animal and the machine.” Whereas the cyberneticists perhaps saw everything in the organic world too much as a machine type of regulatory network, the paradigm swapped to its mirror image, wherein everything in the natural world became seen as an organic neural network. Indeed, self-regulating networks appear to be ubiquitous: From the sub-atomic organization of atoms to the atomic organization of molecules, macromolecules, cells and organisms, everywhere the equivalent of neural networks appears to be present. https://www.ecstadelic.net/top-stories/foreword-to-the-syntellect-hypothesis-five-paradigms-of-the-minds-evolution #EvolutionaryCybernetics #CyberneticTheoryofMind #UniversalNetwork #SyntellectHypothesis #PhilosophyofMind #QuantumTheory #cybernetics #evolution #consciousness https://www.instagram.com/p/CFGh1JxgoJR/?igshid=1bd4qnkdqof6d

In this prologue, I just wanted to give you, my dear reader (or listener), a taste of things to come – right from the start – a glimpse into a long, happy day quite possibly sometime in your own fantastic future. The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution, by the way, is not a fictional work, except few parts like this short sci-fi story. Although this is a philosophy book, where I share my most profound insights on the nature of reality, the perspectives drawn here are in large part scientific. https://www.alexvikoulov.com/2020/08/prelude-to-our-cybernetic-transcendence.html *Newly-released audiobook on Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Syntellect-Hypothesis-Audiobook/B08FMWDDFW #SyntellectHypothesis #CyberneticTranscendence #CyberneticSingularity https://www.instagram.com/p/CEbJrkzAjzM/?igshid=v4hvxdbcui89
