Needless to say that this approach requires a healthy dose of maturity, individual hygiene, and trust between the team members.

Hiring is important!

As important as choosing where to work.

What do you think the last 10 years of “culture fitness” has been about?

Before the Singularity (before any mind can emerge, really) you need reliable neural protocols.

I really think it will happen eventually - religion and science merge under this idea that we are all participants in the mind of god who, until that realization and subsequent calibration, could not awaken.

Like the WoW storyline, basically. So the Earth as of today is like a sleeping god that hasn’t woken up yet, and our society is its dream.
