It is increasingly evident that the World-wide crisis in Education, which is exacerbated by an ever-growing scarcity in the required human resources for teaching, demands a technological solution. This technology, however, must dramatically Augment Human Intelligence while moving toward an Autonomous Artificial Intelligence.
This presentation previews an approach in retrospect from a vision of a Transhumanist Future Culture/Society imported into the current strategic thinking regarding educational reform. This work, now in commercial deployment, is intended to foster a revolution which is expected to ultimately (as we approach the Human-Posthuman Singularity) completely reinvent education throughout the entire knowledge/age-spectrum.
- Definition: Teaching/Learning, taken as a semiotic act, is most simplistically a sign communication between a Teacher-Mind and a Learner-Mind intended to increase (evolve) the potential of the Learner-Mind to act and to increase (evolve) the concomitant potential value of said act to that Learner-Mind, and, as an imperative corollary, to the Collective (Common) Other-Mind.
The mission --MINDing Humanity-- involves a Teacher-Mind semiotically interacting with a Learner-Mind, each informed via an enabling, mentoring partnership with their own individually adapted Synthetic MIND/an AutoGnome (tm), a patented approach to both Synthetic Mind/Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality. The immediate technology is the Intellisite (tm), an Intelligent Website, branded as TrueThinker (tm) (www.truethinker.com). Functioning as a MINDClone (tm) (Virtual Self) for the Human user in Virtual Reality, this is in essence a personal Virtual Learning/Teaching Symbiosis.
TrueThinker (tm) is presently being adapted via TrueThinkerClassroom as a platform for teaching by incorporating the form of the Intelligized components of www.nylearns.org.]
