TAFFD’s GENERATION 4IR SUMMIT
Posted in futurism, singularity
Our current 21st-century world and humankind; through a new set of modern, radical tools characterized as emerging/exponential technologies, stands at the verge of another technological, industrial and human ®evolution; a Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), and just as with the story of our origins, the future of this technological revolution lies again in the promise of Africa.
With its status as having the youngest population on Earth, Africa is strategically positioned at the forefront of the global race to be the 4IR powerhouse thanks to this vast resource of its digital and boundlessly creative youth whose limitless and undeniable technological drive, innovativeness and potential make Africa increasingly attractive to major tech companies and investors around the globe as they yearn to draw closer and tap into a force rapidly diminishing in the relatively more advanced societies of the world. Generation4IR-the deserving label for this emergent young, audacious, problem-solving, technopreneurs and cosmopolitan African breed-hence appears on the scene with a promise of igniting a whole new century of 4IR economies both on the Continent and across the globe.
Consequently, this minefield of human resources represents a critical base for whom the empowerment to ideate, create, solve for technological convergence, and establish lasting change and impact for the present and future of our species has become an imperative, and especially so as we transition to a Metaverse and Singularity world.
In the run-up to TAFFD’S Generation4IR Summit, South Africa 2022 themed Accelerating Our Singularity Future for Development in Africa, we at this moment invite ABSTRACT submissions for well-researched papers to be presented at panel sessions during this Strategically Inclusive Working Conference to provide scholars, industry players, decision and policymakers, and thought leaders with African youth-oriented intellectual analysis and contextualization, trusted strategies, ahead-of-curve insights, and emerging techniques to put exponential technologies to work for business, industrialization, and development.
Topics include the prospects of technological acceleration, Metaverse development and immersive computing, transcendence and cybernetic immortality, neurotechnologies and mind uploading, outer and inner space exploration, Global Mind and phase transition of humanity, physics of time and information, consciousness, evolutionary cybernetics, Chrysalis conjecture and Transcension hypothesis, Artificial General Intelligence and cyberhumanity, transhumanism and singularity, Fermi Paradox, Omega Point cosmology, Cybernetic Theory of Mind, and more. https://www.ecstadelic.net/e_news/metaverse-news-network-liv…x-vikoulov #Metaverse #Singularity #Transhumanism #Transcension #Futurism #Cybernetics #SyntellectHypothesis #AlexVikoulov

The Lifeboat Foundation is a nonprofit nongovernmental organization dedicated to encouraging scientific advancements while helping humanity survive existential risks and possible misuse of increasingly powerful technologies, including genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and robotics/AI, as we move towards the Singularity.
Lifeboat Foundation is pursuing a variety of options, including helping to accelerate the development of technologies to defend humanity, such as new methods to combat viruses, effective nanotechnological defensive strategies, and even self-sustaining space colonies in case the other defensive strategies fail.
We believe that, in some situations, it might be feasible to relinquish technological capacity in the public interest (for example, we are against the U.S. government posting the recipe for the 1918 flu virus on the internet). We have some of the best minds on the planet working on programs to enable our survival. We invite you to join our cause!

About Singularity University:
Google has been developing what is perhaps the company’s most ambitious project to date: a science startup that will pursue ‘solutions for aging’ with the intended goal of “solving death”.
Calico, a company directed by futurists to explore the concept of “singularity”, has partnered with pharmaceutical giants to research and trial new market drugs that target aging and development.
What is this new audacious project? Who is behind it? In the following feature, Ethan Nash explores.
JWST operating temperature is less than 50 degrees above absolute zero (−223° C or-370° F) and will be the largest telescope ever placed at that cold temperature (50 Kelvin).
Webb will be able to see what the universe looked like around a quarter of a billion years (possibly back to 100 million years) after the #BigBang, when the first stars and galaxies started to form. JWST will change our view of the cosmos by taking Baby Pictures of #Universe, looking back to big bang.
#JWST is going to be like “Magic spectacles” that allow you to see things that you can’t normally see.
which is the pictures of the infant universe.
#Absolute nature of reality is like an elephant in parable which blind men are not able to understand from their partial experience as current technology and study says that laws of physics are forbidden at extreme limits of absolutes. As at #absoluteZero temperature halts any motion even photon hence zero #SpeedOfLight, on the other hand absolute high temperature at the dawn of the time near big bang twists the space. The answers to the absolute truth lie at these limits of #absolutes.
Going into #fundamental has its immense significance of getting benefits of #absolutism to unravel the mysteries of the universe.
