Ok, enough wishy-washy fluffy talk of the Consciousness Singularity, how do we do this thing? I want details. No crystalline, chakra, or third-eye nonsense. Just suggestions rooted in hard facts. Here are some concrete ideas for bringing about the Consciousness Singularity:

 

FIRST STEP: Establish transpersonal consciousness

 

1) expand cingulate cortex and synchronize with other people's

 

2) synchronize thalamic rhythms between people

 

3) synchronize other brain activities between people

 

4) screw synchrony, let's hardwire two brains together

 

5) let's try augmenting one or two people's brains, either by enlarging, enhancing plasticity, or doing something else

I nominate this thread to be moved to pseudoscience ASAP!!!

you've heard of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) of the temporal lobe inducing spiritual experiences, right? Pseudoscience? No, hardly.

First we need to establish some kind of an electronic "world-wide web," where people all over the planet can access, via "personal computers," any and all information that anyone wants to share and communicate via "electronic mail" with anyone else who has access to it.

another way, genetic engineering:

In the July 19, 2002, Science, Walsh and his colleague Anjen Chenn, now at Northwestern University School of Medicine in Chicago, described genetically engineered mice (targetting the gene beta-catenin) that develop cerebral cortexes with greatly increased surface area, so much so that the mouse brains have a more humanlike, wrinkled appearance. "It looks as if these wrinkles don't require any special genetic tricks. It seems to be a passive response to having a brain that's bigger than your head," says Walsh.
