Six Day Earth?
Some
scientists continue to insist that it’s impossible to fashion an Earth in six literal days.
Obviously, they are technologically-challenged on the exponential output of
terraforming via
robot self-replication (
nanobots, megabots, etc.).
For example, if we assume a simple spawn rate of one robot replicant per month, for each parent robot, the numbers are as follows:

With this many helpers, an entire galaxy could be easily terraformed in a week.
(Keep in mind that the number of atoms in the entire observable universe is roughly 1082.)
I could add more rows to this table, but why beat a dead horse.
Understanding the motive is a far more intriguing subject, which I detail in the Futurist Series.

I feel compelled to comment on a recent 60 Minutes story titled, Athos: A visit to the Holy Mountain.

Is it authentic Christianity when the word Love is mentioned only once in the entire 28 minute segment?
That’s right—Once.
"The first thing a monk does is embrace and love death," Father Serapion told Bob Simon.
But Jesus said in John 13:35;
"By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." |
| Since they deem this all-important verse as a non-issue, why would the angels entrust their freedom to these men in a Free Crown environment? Don’t be misled;
the main purpose for Christianity within an Anonymity Biosphere is to filter on the basis of Love—Period. You can read a more detailed explanation in my
Futurist Series.

Recently, I watched an interesting CBC documentary titled
"Masters of Space," which is an episode from the award-winning series
"The Nature of Things with David Suzuki."
By and large, I found the program informative and commendable. It highlights the dominance of the United States in space and the various implications associated with advanced weaponry systems, such as sophisticated missile interceptors and ultra high-powered lasers.
Unfortunately, the show adopted a distractive political undertow, while stopping short of addressing the more pressing philosophical issues that it offhandedly raised.
We should all know by now that technology is completely and utterly indifferent. It couldn’t care less if it’s being used for benevolent or malevolent purposes. For example, any computer finds no less satisfaction executing malware than languishing in the hot sun. This "dual intent susceptibility" (DIS), provides a catalyst to facilitate a potential escalation in abusiveness, in the future.
For instance, one day we hope to colonize Mars and other planets in our solar system. This move will undoubtedly require the assistance of numerous smart robots, mass drivers, lasers, masers and other massive and technical resources. However, all these gadgets are vulnerable to being heinously misused—whether by Neocons, left-wing
wannabe dictators, closet megalomaniacs, stealth terrorists, garden-variety narcissistic hackers, etc. Eventually, enslavement-ready technologies (ERT) will make
conspicuous promises that are too great for some to casually forego, such as endless concubines, private continents, wholesale history redactions, boundless Kafkaesque eccentricities, global obedience and deification, etc.
So, what can we realistically do about this predicament? I offer a comprehensive philosophical solution in my Futurist Series. If you have better ideas on this important matter, please
e-mail them to me for publication. Thank you.
