Imagine that in ten years China forces all its college students to get genetic tests. Students with intelligence genes in the top 1% of the top 1% of humankind are then forced to donate sperm or eggs. China then uses the sperm and eggs to create a billion embryos each year. The genetic intellectual potential of all these embryos is checked. Those in the top 10,000 are implanted into women. Each of these embryos has the intellectual potential to be in the top one-billionth of humankind.
Now because of environmental factors many of these embryos won’t turn into intellectual titans. But let’s say that one in ten does. This means that each year 1,000 people with the scientific ability of Einstein will be born. By 2035 they will become adults and start doing scientific research. I imagine these Einsteins will be rather helpful to China’s economy and military.”
Eugenics is a very scary prospect, but it is gaining steam again as it did in the roaring 20’s in the pre-Hitler era.

“At Imperial College in London and elsewhere, scientists have built computer systems roughly controlled by the user’s eyes. An infra-red eye-tracking headset tells the computer where on the monitor the user is looking, allowing the user to perform tasks by sight alone, such as moving a cursor or clicking on a function.” - courtesy of web analytics book
In the future what I look at will be monitored and reviewed to better sell me products. This will make us better consumers. Hooray consumerist world! I will keep an EYE on you!

In China alone, some 175 million people are now studying English in the formal education system. And an estimated 2 billion people will be studying it by 2010, according to a British Council report last year.
“The dominance of English as an international language is growing.”

Science Daily —
A new paper by researchers from Oxford University and the University of
Illinois, Urbana-Champaign argues that images in contemporary consumer
culture are an emergent form of writing. Appearing in the October issue
of the Journal of Consumer Research, their premise is that mass
communications technology has created a “cultural classroom” in which
the world’s first democratic pictography has developed.
They support this argument with a series of experiments that
demonstrate contemporary consumers’ ability to read pictures — even
abstract images — as statements of product features.

what is most interesting to me is this little tidbit, which hearkens back to Carl Jung and the collective archetypes:
Even in the case of the study with abstract paintings, in which
participants were asked to read information from lines, shapes, and
colors–but no discernible objects–clear messages were conveyed. The
authors suggest that these findings have significant implications for
studies of cognition, culture, and branding, particularly in a global
environment where indigenous writing systems vary widely and the
“postindustrial pictography” of the worldwide economy is spreading
rapidly.

According to the great site, inventorspot, on Steve Levenstein’s blog, Japan has plans to develop a post internet network that will make spammers and web junk a thing of the past….
so this is beyond web 2.0, this is insanely good…. except that the new internet has a scary side for western net surfers:
The scary part? “Cooperating with other nations, including the United States, will be an option.”

according to an article cited on digg.com:
“The US Comptroller, the government’s top accountant, says the US is risking total bankruptcy if trends continue on 60 minutes segment. The nation incurring a massive debt on the next generation with its present policies. In 30 years time, the US will only have enough money to pay the interest on its debt, with no money for the military.”
The Comptroller is David Walker (bio), and he has been going around the country warning people to ‘wake up’ to the crisis at hand.

“China is practicing a form of low-intensity “Unrestricted Warfare”
against the United States, as shown by its alarming anti-satellite test
of January 11.
Unrestricted Warfare is the English title of an
influential 1999 book on military strategy authored by two Colonels in
the People’s Liberation Army, Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui. The book
argues that countries can defeat technologically superior foes through
deployment of an unlimited array of unconventional means rather than
through direct military confrontation. Methods include terrorism–the
book predicted the use of hijacked airplanes as flying
bombs–propaganda, international law, or “lawfare,” and information
warfare.
“To cripple or destroy the enemy’s information system
would drastically degrade the enemy’s combat capabilities by making it
blind, deaf or paralyzed,” the authors assert.
China’s use of a
missile to destroy one of its own, low orbiting, obsolete,
refrigerator-sized satellites is a stunning information warfare test.
But, in line with the strategy of Unrestricted Warfare, the explosion
that created a huge, dangerous debris cloud that will last a quarter
century or more is also a test of US nerve and will. Beijing is betting
that the proverbial Cooler Heads will prevail–i.e. that the battered
Bush administration’s pro-China-no-matter-what wing, which is led by
billionaire Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, will effectively downplay
the significance of the incident instead of treating it as a wakeup
call to US policymakers and defense planners.
The Chinese reason
that with the US bogged down in Iraq and focused on nuclear arming Iran
(a Chinese ally) and nuclear armed North Korea (a Chinese vassal),
Washington is in no mood to confront the harsh realities of China’s
meteoric military and economic ascent. Exploiting opportunity–such as
the Islamist assault on the US–is a key underlying concept of
Unrestricted Warfare.”
