As I was reading your very interesting article, I kept wondering about the power source. Everything needs a power source whether it be food, electricity, running water or something else. Then I imagined all these powerful men as immortal whatevers …floating brains, AI computers, etc., and then the cleaning lady coming along and accidentally unplugging them all. A happy if silly thought.

Imagine that, in order to attain the intelligence they are seeking, they will require access to to all of the diversity of thought that currently exists, and then quite a bit more. The longer it takes to get those perspectives as input, the longer it will take for the AI to process the data.

The more perspectives that are erased today, the less likely they are to wake to their dreams come true tomorrow.
