MEANS, APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR HUMANISTIC INTELLIGENCE, UNDIGITAL CYBORG CRAFT, AND SOUSVEILLANT SYSTEMS FOR MACHINE INTEGRITY

Advances in sensing technology, combined with AI (Artificial Intelligence) have created devices and systems that sense our every movement in intricate detail. Society is evolving toward a world of surveillant systems - - machines that sense us more intimately, yet reveal less about their internal states and functions. The modern "user-friendly" trend is to hide functionality and machine state variables to "simplify" operation for end-users. While this "dumbed down" (and "dumbing down") technology trend is supported by most of society, there is a risk that it undermines the natural scientific curiosity and comprehensibility of some end-users, leading them away from trying to understand our technological world. Surveillant systems work against users of intellect, excluding them from particpating fully in technological progress, and possibly driving some users away from logical thinking and toward technopaganist "witchcraft" and insanity. To reverse this harmful trend, Minsky, Kurzweil, and ...
