"An odd word that recurs obsessively in the Bible, where it appears in forty passages: "Burn their Asherah in the fire and cut down the idols of their god", "Cut down their Asherah and burn their idols in the fire." How many times and with what stubborn vehemence, does Yahweh enjoin his people. Asherah designates a goddess, the partner of Baal. And at the same time certain sacred poles, which were worshiped. Asherah is a name that condenses within itself the abomination of idolatry. Yet for a long time, until the reign of Manasseh, it happened that "the objects that had been made for Baal, for the Asherah, and for all the heavenly host" were housed inside the temple for Yahweh. For Israel, the perennial risk was that the house of Yahweh still contained the altars of other divine beings.

Hence Manasseh "made his son pass through fire and practiced astrology, and magic and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger. "

Many people assume that technology is in some way artificial. It is as natural as a bird’s nest or a beaver’s dam, and every individual, each species and all nations have a unique developmental course. As with a seed, the full life of individuals, species and nations is inherent, contained in their beginnings. There is no such thing as ‘’artificial’’ intelligence; there is only intelligence. It is found everywhere, in plants and animals and in myriad life forms which flourish outside the range of material sense perceptions.

 

A billion networked autonomous biological computational devices form an evolutionary inflection point: when the quality and speed of the connection between the nodes is optimized, it is no longer a network – it is an ‘’’evolved, parallel computational organism’’’ of unimaginable power.

 

If the data circulating in that evolved organism, circulated by and among autonomous biological processors, chiefly news and entertainment, is error corrected at successive stages, as is done with other biological networks like our blood stream, and in silicon-based networks and distributed computation; the performance of networked individuals and of the civilization in which they participate must be enhanced by orders of magnitude.

 

Human beings have two identities, the smaller, individual identity is personal, comprised of our life history, our thoughts and our sensory perceptual experience. The second, much greater identity, is collective. We all participate in this greater common identity because we participate in civilization. No single individual ever creates anything of value. Every work of imagination, every invention, scientific discovery or artistic innovation is the work of many human beings, among the living and dead.

 

The words, numbers and images we share are common property; they make of us what we are; they are living things with immutable properties.

 

Everyone contributes to civilization, and all are free to withdraw from the transgenerational repository of mankind’s treasury of accumulated knowledge. The achievement of each benefit all without any Marxist management at all.
