No, this is historical possibility. Might as well throw in a copy of Wikipedia too. Just like the seed and genome banks out there for if/when we fuck it up. Even the cryopreservation wonks. The whole of human knowledge and existance thing. Humanity goes in these long cycles of destroy and rebuild, some more severe and complete than others. And odds of higher completion increase with inventing more non natural processes over short time like bioengineering and nukes that have not yet reached long time evolutionary integration/protection toward natural defence/backoff.
Yeah.
And that is all, and the EFF can huff and puff but at the end of the day there will be no large scale uprising because the level of apathy
It's not just the US. There are world protests, but lasting real success anywhere in the world against the pro-surveillors and anti-cryptos and nothing-to-hiders and thought-crimers, seems yet to be determined.
People are kind of excited about CISPA fight (and maybe the mailing lists that are used to fight CISPA could also be used for fighting
That's because they apparently love using the internet for piracy so they can watch the fucking Simpsons and football and movies and porn and Beyonce. Portray the issues last above into them not being able to do that anymore and you might see some riseup activity there. Probably more than you'd see if you told them their corps/govts/friends were reading their sexy text messages because they kindof already know that and don't give a fuck because it's just being watched, not being *taken away from them*. You have to take away the beer and candy and gasoline and water and vaporize their cash flow to get a reaction.
As stated in the github on ImmortalCode, I'm totally down for contributors, https://github.com/abisprotocol/ImmortalCode And, I haven't set up a mechanism to fund this, but I know from memory, an OpenROV to ensconce it in costs not much ~ though the polymerase chain reaction stuff, DNA work, crypto, seed and genome bank you want to pack in, would certainly cost more than jut the OpenROV machinery, but actually the overall project is low cost by the time you are done with the thing. Greater difficulty would be to determine how to ensure it would reproduce itself at depth, tougher than just producing a wandering rover sort of thing, for sure (partly due to that we don't know what happens in most parts of the deep), and also due to the complexity of merging Turritopsis dohrnii DNA with Open Worm DNA (in biological form, a Caenorhabditis Elegans, which has 302 neurons and 959 cells), as well as inserting a "human signal" in the form of a tiny segment of human DNA into the modified T. dohrnii as well before protecting the creature within a modified OpenROV to help protect it and ensure its safe return to land. A significant amount of initial design would be necessary to determine what equipment and sensors it would have so that it would run with in tandem with knowledge nodes that would enable it to share knowledge between species across vast areas of the ocean without human intervention. That's the general idea, anyway. I'm open to it. I'll set up a donation address soon and put it on the readme page. - -O
One of the things I suggest doing is just saying screw humanity for a while. Put some of our best, most hardcore code, like Gnupg (gpg) and ... (BTC) and BCN. And put all this stuff in as examples of like, an undersea Voyager 1. And then send it to the bottom of the ocean. And tell it to come back in like 10 years, or 50 years, but to, you know, check back from a distance first, to make sure that we are not dead first, to make sure we haven't killed ourselves off or that we haven't screwed up even more than we have already. ... https://twitter.com/AnonyOdinn/status/556952326347317248 https://github.com/abisprotocol/ImmortalCode The idea is there is code and DNA kind of mixed together in an Autonomous Knowledge Node, protected in a robotic hard shell as an OpenROV, sort of like a little submarine, but it can reproduce in certain conditions. And it can then communicate with other species. It will try to learn things to bring back from the depths to help us survive, assuming we are still alive when we return. (And of course it will bring back the crypto it carried along as well sort of like the Golden Platter of Voyager 1 or something)
This is kind of along ramble, so I'll just be quiet now.
