Towards a Third Culture

This sixth chapter identifies the main characteristics of the third culture: mirroring the world; revealing the interrelatedness of all things and living beings; self-improving through self-learning; and exceeding human abilities in speed and scale. It considers the ‘garbage in, garbage out’ problem, the ‘black box effect’ and the notion of ‘technological singularity’ and explains the impact of the multiple forms of human IQ.
