Toward a Global Monolith
The inevitable progression of the evolution of computing is toward the creation of a Global Monolith.
What is a Global Monolith?
A Global Monolith is a single computing device that spans the entire globe and is used by the entire global population. A Global Monolith means all of the world’s data being stored in a single consistent integrated database and all of the world’s computing being done on a single integrated cloud platform that uses that database.
Why is a Global Monolith Inevitable?
Compared to current computing systems, which are fragmented across endless legal jurisdictions, corporations, cloud platforms, and consumer devices, a Global Monolith will be orders-of-magnitude more efficient and orders-of-magnitude more powerful than anything currently in existence.
We have reached a stage of human history where computing power directly translates into military power. Whoever controls the most powerful computing device in the world will control the world.
The competing powers of the world are now in a race to build a Global Monolith. Whoever gets there first will control the world.
Why Would a Global Monolith Be So Powerful?
Computing starts with data. The completeness, correctness, and speed with which data can be accessed are gating factors on the potential power of the computations that can be performed.
In a Global Monolith ALL of the world’s data will be contained in a single database.
Current systems are highly fragmented and extremely slow. Only a small amount of data can be accessed in real time in one tiny shard of the overall system. To perform higher level global analysis data must be copied from the real time system to an offline system. This is extremely slow and inefficient.
With a Global Monolith ALL data will be available in real time. Data will not need to be copied from one system to another for analysis to be performed.
Current computing systems are highly reliant on human engineering to perform simple tasks like copying data from one system to another, creating integrations between the software platforms of different companies, signing contracts to share data, and formatting and structuring data for storage. Humans are very slow.
With a Global Monolith all of these human engineering tasks will disappear completely and the time to access data will go from weeks and months to milliseconds.
What Could Go Wrong?
A Global Monolith, which is the technological basis for total global hegemony, is without a doubt the most dangerous technology ever invented.
Nuclear Weapons may confer the power to destroy the entire world but a Global Monolith conveys the power to conquer the entire world without firing a single shot and rule it in perpetuity.
In the wrong hands this technology will lead to the most despotic tyranny ever imagined by man. This tyranny will be absolute, inescapable and permanent.
What Could Go Right?
The only way to prevent the creation of a tyrannical Global Monolith under the control of despots is to create a Global Monolith that enforces basic human rights and the rule of law as part of its fundamental design.
Computing systems are logical systems. The law is a logical system. Computing systems can be designed to conform to the logical specifications of any legal system.
If a Global Monolith that conforms to principles of human rights and the rule of law is created, and this Global Monolith succeeds in conquering the world, then this Global Monolith will usher in a new epoch of humanity where the entire world is united under a fair and just rule of law that respects basic human rights.
How Do You Know All This?
I have spent the past 7 years working for a company (outside of the United States) that has been developing the technology to build a Global Monolith.
A few months ago that company provided its entire intellectual property portfolio, which includes all of my original design notebooks, a large library of both proprietary and open source software, and a series of video lectures explaining all of the key algorithms, to the embassies of 11 countries around the world that have both the desire and capacity to develop this technology.
Those countries are: The People’s Republic of China, The Russian Federation, India, Brazil, Japan, The Republic of Korea, The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Iran, and El Salvador.
Why Would They Do That?
The decision to share this technology with a large group of countries that are both competitors with each other and competitors with the United States was made because this technology is too dangerous to be controlled by any one corporation or country.
How Can the United States Build a Global Monolith?
As an American Citizen it is only possible for me to develop this technology for the United States, but I will only do that on my own terms.
China clearly has a significant advantage in developing a Global Monolith but as the creator of this IP I can still build it faster than anyone else.
What Will Happen if Nobody Will Agree to My Terms?
I will continue development of the Global Monolith as an Open Source project. Everything that I Open Source will lose its potential patentability.
Not only will potential investors lose the opportunity to patent the IP that I created but other companies currently developing similar technologies and holding them as trade secrets will also lose the ability to patent those technologies.
Because the competitors of the United States already have the entire existing IP portfolio they will be able to run their own development efforts in parallel and everything I Open Source will contribute to those efforts.
The Clock is Ticking
The 11 countries that already have the complete IP portfolio in their possession already have a month’s head start.
Maybe they think I’m a crank, and maybe they do nothing, but maybe they don’t?
Maybe I am a crank, maybe all of this is complete bullshit, but maybe it isn’t?
Are you willing to take that risk?
