Doug Lenat: “The bottleneck is software, not hardware…. The limitations of WATSON, Google, SIRI, etc. are ones of breadth of inference, not quantitative performance metrics…. For many years now, dozens of us have been building CYC, a repository for the common sense knowledge and general inferencing strategies…. We are on the verge of a sort of Singularity in the building of CYC: it now knows enough, and can infer enough, to carry on interactive dialogues in English, opening up the possibility of having millions of people helping it to cross that finish line in 2012.”

We certainly live in interesting times. Recognition of a living breathing Earth Mother is beginning to take hold as the reality of our shared and undeniable circumstance becomes increasingly evident. War, poverty and environmental degradation are no longer an option with the approach of 2012.

2012 is the event horizon. That year that pops up again and again as recognised in ancient civilisations and now in pop culture.

With 26 months ahead of us, rapid technological change promises to deliver much change between now & then.

And now - 2012 Time For Change - From Conscious Evolution to Practical Solutions

For Western Australia, a land that is drying up and growing its' population rapidly, only intelligent practical solutions will see us through.
