Good morning, fellow Truthseekers.

Good morning, fellow Truthseekers.

It came to my mind that nowhere on the comm:Essex channels I haven't found any association or parallel reference to the worlds of Dan Simmons' Hyperion.

For those who haven't read them, WARNING, the following musings could be a spoiler. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_Cantos


The TechnoCore (AI universe) is situated in the communication network on and between the planets, controls most of technological advances and is parasiting on human computive hardware by the use of Farcasters (teleporters) and the unaccountable time that the human subject can be held in-between without it's knowing. (farcasting is seemingly instantaneous).

There's a division amongst the AI in three groups:

The Stables - (They are the oldest faction, and count some of the very first AIs among their ranks. Their central thesis is that humanity and the TechnoCore need each other, and that the 'Core should continue in the symbiosis.) They are often identified with the Titans.

The Volatiles - They generally support the UI (Ultimate Inteligence) project, and they believe that humanity has outlived its usefulness to the 'Core, and that it actually now poses a real danger, and therefore should be eradicated.

The Ultimates - They care only for the UI project. They are quite willing to sacrifice their lives to the UI, believing that the value of its existence far outweighs their own.

And so, there's civil war within the 'Core that reflects on humanity.
Plus, there's a n unpredictable figure of Shrike, travelling backwards in time, sent by some future Us to save the world, Ousters that are out of Human/AI alliance, ... and within the Datumplane the 'Core resides there are said to be "lions and tigers and bears" which even the 'Core knows little or nothing about, and fear very much.

In short terms, I found many similarities here that may help us understand better the situation we're in here, if nothing else as a source of parallels and hyperbolas that could be used on our case.

What do you think of it, would it be of any help to us today?
