I'm developing a theory about brain's network called: Ghosts in the Shell.
I'm trying to decentralizing my brain to a network of brains.
Ghost in the Shell (Japanese: 攻殻機動隊 シェルのゴースト) is a 1989 Japanese media franchise originally published as a seinen manga series of the same name written and illustrated by Masamune Shirow.
In that post-cyberpunk iteration of a possible future, computer technology has advanced to the point that many members of the public possess cyberbrains, technology that allows them to interface their biological brain with various networks. The level of cyberization varies from simple minimal interfaces to almost complete replacement of the brain with cybernetic parts, in cases of severe trauma. This can also be combined with various levels of prostheses, with a fully prosthetic body enabling a person to become a cyborg.
We are still way far from that kind of individual advanced tech in 2018, though we are slowly becoming the cyborg with a supercomputer in our pocket. With the sheer amount of information available in the world today, we have become overwhelmed.
Our mind is in a constant racing state.
Inspired by Ghost in the Shell, I believe the future of human thinking is to decentralize ourselves to a thinking network like "GHOSTS in the Shell". I think we should try to turn our brain into composable and functional brains network by starting to view everything as a function and iterate it like a machine, together.
We need to elevate our mind in this digital age. Not only as human, but also as human + machine.

- legionof7 8y agoThis is extremely interesting and it really ties in with my work on decentralized networks. I'm sure there are lots of intersections with AI and biotech also.
- allenleein 8y agoThanks! Yes, my ultimate goal is to build a network of brains with this kind of gadget from MIT Media Lab: (https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/alterego/overview/ https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/alterego/overview/) AlterEgo is a non-invasive, wearable, peripheral neural interface that allows humans to converse in natural language with machines, artificial intelligence assistants, services, and other people without any voice—without opening their mouth, and without externally observable movements. --- Love to connect!

- otakucode 8y agoPerhaps investigate the historical response of human societies to the integration of technological advancement into arenas of life they see as "fundamentally human". It's not a pretty history.
- allenleein 8y ago> It's not a pretty history. So we are here to change it to pretty one.
- cpitVoxRec 8y agotrying to decentralizing Pointing out a grammatical error, which appears in both your comment and the github page you linked to. The github page actually has a number of typos, and needs a little bit more proofreading and perhaps some proper English in some places. As a call-to-action, the readme should present with polished grammar and a respectable tone for the author's voice.</grammarnazi> An easily accessible starting point, to get a feel for what "tone" means, check out the Economist's style guide, which gives authors and columnists a set of editorial guidelines for how articles should sound, when a reader picks up their weekly copy of the magazine: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/303640.The_Economist_Style_Guide https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/303640.The_Economist_Sty... You'll notice the Economist tries to establish a homogenized voice, so that many writers may contribute, but all material feels like it's written by the same person, such that, without bylines, The Economist itself becomes a collectivized authorship, as a sort of writer's uniform. Seems like such an idea might be relevant to your general concept.
