Tomorrow the World

Five people mark the tipping point between a hobby and a nascent hyperintelligence.

Five people is not a very big ask. Anything that people are passionate about should be able to gather together that many dedicated altruists. Since we are now constrained neither by location nor synchronous activity, the barrier to entry has become nearly non-existent. Just five people can easily enter into a pact to change the world. As their work catches on and catches fire, as they capture their collective intelligence, and as the social network forms, hyperintelligence will emerge. Everyone involved in the social network benefits from it, and every member of the network increases their own selection fitness by pursuing an altruistic end. They will be more effective in pursuit of their ends (insofar as those ends are those of the network), because of their participation within the network.

Get that? "nascent hyperintelligence". Jeebus! I feel the corpuscles of my selection fitness pumping as I type. Good thing that the location of Game Night remains undisclosed to this day. There is a spectre that haunts a major midwestern railroad hub. Will we use our powers for good or be seduced by the dark side?
