The year 2050 marks the beginning of a new era of human civilization
New humans coevolved with supercomputers (code-named Github), and worldviews got interesting
On the end of life
The old man
The first stage is a medical declaration of death
The second stage is that after burial there is no trace of the life of the dead
The third stage is when there is no memory of the dead among the living
The new human
The first stage is when personal memories located on Github’s main branch are deleted from the Github database
The second stage is in the other branches, where memories of the individual are deleted
The third stage is to delete all personal content on Github
About memory
For the old people,
Personal memories are stored in the individual’s brain
When the body dies, so does the memory
The new human
Personal memories are stored on Github
Github database exists in a distributed form in each time and space. The human body is just a terminal, and the memory will not disappear with the destruction of the body
Github(with human intelligence and supercomputer power)
The old man
Github is a code repository and the most popular open source hosting service on the planet
The new human
Github is distributed in each space and time, maintaining the normal information exchange and synchronization in each space and time
Github is the brain of humanity, hosting the memories, experiences and wisdom of all humans on the planet
About the communication
The old man
The essence of communication is the exchange of ideas
People connect with each other through social networks
The new human
The essence of communication is commit
People suggest ideas held by each other, and the other can choose to accept and improve their ideas, or reject the other’s commit
About time travel
The old man
Time travel requires the use of a time machine to find loopholes in the space and time system and complete the time travel
Bodies and minds will be greatly affected, and there is a chance that new parallel universes will be created
The new human
Time-travel is based on Github’s record points distributed in each space-time and can be divided into three modes:
Spectator mode (Read only: Level 4): Participants can only view space and time from god’s point of view without having any influence on space and time
Virtual Access mode (Read/write: level 6): Participants can actually exist in the time and space after time travel, and cause influence, but all the influence is in a sandbox, will not create a new parallel time and space, once the traveler exits, the virtual sandbox world will be automatically suspended by Github, if not used for a long time, the virtual sandbox will be automatically destroyed by the system
Real impact mode (Readable, writable and executable: level 7 permission): On the basis of the first two modes, the execution permission is added to create a new parallel space and time. Participants cannot return to the original world, and the memories generated in the new world cannot be directly synchronized to the Github record point in the original space and time
Leadership and Influence
The old man
The more followers, the stronger the leadership
The more people a proposed idea is recognized, the greater its influence;
The new human
The more knowledge within an individual’s Github is referenced by others (similar to today’s Github offshoots), the greater the impact
The more commitments made on other people’s Github are accepted, the stronger the leadership
Universal values
The old man
The pursuit of fame, wealth, sex
More pleasure, longer life
The new human
Pursue cooperation and advocate innovation
Love time travel and exploring the unknown
The memory is eternal, and can be accessed at any time to any custom body in any space and time
About evolution
The old man
In the old human mind, the opposite sex was an important part of life
Older humans have a limited lifespan and continue their genes by co-breeding with members of the opposite sex
The new human
New humans don’t have real bodies
The new human individual is just a mapping of universal ideas and values in a specific plane, which is as simple as a program generating random numbers
Github will conduct periodic tests on random new humans as samples, select good samples for deep learning, and use the learning results to create new human individuals
About the punishment
The old man
The use of law to regulate human behavior
Prison is used to civilize people who break the law
Deprivation of the right to subsistence of individuals seriously damaging human social institutions
The new human
– Reduced execution level of humans who violate the law (memory retrieval from Github is slow)
Reduced probability of “being selected” for deep learning (reduced chance of producing offspring)
– Time travel permissions were reduced for a period of time (evolutionary learning opportunities decreased)
