=== Current Synthesis on Human and Environmental Prosperity ===

''' Proposed: A Think Tank in Every Administrative Region Performing Research and Development to Advance Their Local Community Interests and Needs'''
<br>
Humans are innovators. We are explorers and discoverers, constantly learning and growing as we feed off of our existential reality; we are imagination machines who are born curious and hungry for awe. We explore, we discover, and we create, in perpetuity.
<br><br>
Diverse community pockets can work within their Administrative Regions to advance research and development based on their needs.<br>
All findings are shared amongst all regions so that collaboration is made on a global scale without any hinderance in information sharing.
<br><br>
'''This matter eventually requires attention from incubators, angel investors, engineers/scientists/mathematicians, philosophers and everyone else interested in advancing our human evolution.'''<br>
<br><br>

Suggested (and by no means exhaustive):<br>
<br>
'''Maker Space''' - Design and Incubation facilities throughout all regions of the world, built with the sole purpose of advancing human knowledge and quality of life. An integrated polymath approach to resolving any challenges put forth by the global community.<br>
<br>
'''Weather and Safety watch''' - an intuitive dashboard that allows humanity to keep a bird's eye view on weather systems, air quality, water quality and seismic activity all throughout the world; administered regionally directly by the scientists involved and made available globally to all other scientists that may be interested.<br>
<br>
'''Nature watch''' - a dashboard to keep a bird's eye view on animal health and populations throughout the world, administered regionally and made available globally.<br>
<br>
'''Space watch''' - a topology of satellites and space stations to identify current node/device/location status, all their discoveries or services, their current usability, and their ongoing maintenance requirements.<br>
<br>
'''Tech watch''' - a collective database of technological advancements achieved by all scientists everywhere.<br>
<br>
'''Chem watch''' - a collective database of chemical discoveries made by scientists from all around the globe.<br>
<br>
'''Phys watch''' - a mathematical consensus and synthesis of the latest understandings put forward by physicists from around the globe<br>
<br>
'''Med watch''' - a HowTo knowledge base of the latest medical practices that have shown successful, positive or promising results; must also incorporate a lessons learned section to identify all the attempted or tested methodologies and practices that have failed or shown negative or debilitating results.<br>
<br>


=== What is the role of technology? How can humanity leverage technology? ===
Endless discussions have been revolving around the advancements of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Superintelligence and the Singularity (Nick Bostrom, 2014, Superintelligence; Max Tegmark, 2017, Life 3.0). It seems that the COVID pandemic amplified an area of human needs and dependencies on technology which had mainly remained in tech-savvy circles. Since then, the 2020s have been fueled by talks about educational technology, network states and personal assistants leveraging GPT (Generative pre-trained Transformer), an AI built predominantly by machines through Deep Learning processes. Geoffrey Hinton, considered one of the fathers of GPT prior to Google publishing its construction in 2017, is among many of the authoritative voices raising alarms about how the evolution of this autonomous machine development can be catastrophic if it isn’t done openly and collaboratively as only a select few will otherwise either benefit and/or cause mass human suffering. Though Google had prudently avoided releasing its GPT engines publicly for fear of disastrous results, OpenAI, initially a not-for-profit that was turned for-profit by Microsoft, continued to push its development and public availability forward, forcing others to do the same. This is a prime example of what Marxism intended to avoid, arguing that companies are often doing as much guesswork as regulators – often with general disregard to public safety.
