Short Review of 'The Syntellect Hypothesis' by Alex M.Vikoulov
Everything is information. Information equals reality. We
are bound to develop a Syntellect i.e. a super-evolutionary experiential
intelligence by an expanding awareness of the interconnection and
interdependence of a shared consciousness of which we were not all yet aware.
Perhaps this is what Alex M.Vikoulov tell us? I like his visionary ideas on the
past, present and future of human kind inside of a conscious universe. It makes
sense that reality is created by human subjective observation and that in fact
our subjective and objective reality does not yet exist before we observe it. Reality is
therefore based on a shared, universal conscience which can’t be held by observation
alone and comes in the form of qubits that are intrinsic parts of elementary
particles. Our brain functioning is supplied by a collective, inexhaustible
source of information and a subpart of universal consciousness. Information
gives energy and matter its functionalities. Information is therefore
fundamental to our perceived and experienced reality. I really liked this book
although at times the author shows his passionate connection in a somewhat
repetitive manner, but only, in my view, to emphasize the importance of his
vision about the future, the history and the ride of life for all living systems.
My own research on information theory gave me, with the help of physicists and
cyberneticians also mentioned in this book, the insight that information can’t
be divorced from our real world. An information deficit means that a living
system destabilizes into entropy or disorder and that re-stabilization can be
achieved by adding information, so information is a form of energy that works
and thus can be measured. This is confirmed by cybernetics that teaches us that
a goal in only achievable by using all information in the form of feedback, so
the system can keep learning by constantly adding information about its journey
towards that goal. This is an incredible powerful tool or method to stabilize
all life, all organisations, all anthropogenic creations. If they are causing
entropy, all we have to do is to seek and supply that information that stops
this disorder from occurring. I claim that the motivated suppression of
information by those who believe to profit from that disturbance, causes all crises
on earth and stand in the way of happiness.
That is why I really enjoyed this book because Alex and my
own mind are connected beyond physicality and thus sharing access to the same
sources through this universal consciousness. We both tapped into this perpetual
source of wisdom that was, is and always will be there for us to explore. The
book is an in depth journey through time and the epistemology of reality and
offers us an elegant solution to solve all societal problems by the use of
information. If we want to create a sustainable sustenance for every living
system, i.e. flora and fauna, all we have to do is use negative, corrective
feedback in the right balance with positive feedback. Perhaps we will reach a
Syntellect society by blending human consciousness with artificial intelligence
helped by an interconnected and interdependent Noosphere towards a Theogenesis
of man, a rebirth of the internal God in man, which was by the way what the
Gnostics predicted thousands of years ago, because they knew it is always about
‘Gnosis’ translated in ‘Knowledge’. Knowing yourself is knowing God. The book
spells the end of materialism, reductionism, physicalism, empiricism and takes
you on a ride through and towards endless anthropogenic potentiality of
creativity and evolution. A gem indeed. For this short review I could only
choose one line from the book of the many significant ones on understanding how
consciousness and our brain work: ‘Neural networks. Quantum computation inside
our brain is beyond classical physics, it’s in the realm of quantum mechanics
and information theory. Our brain is not a stand-alone information processing organ;
it functions as a central unit of our integral nervous system with recurrent
feedback with the entire organism and the cosmos at large.' Thank you Alex!!
