5GW And Beyond

Robb calls the super empowered individual the end game.

Here is my blue sky thinking as to why –
Technological Singularity Track –

Because 5GW is the point where the human body becomes the limitation (our technology is designed to interact with our nervous system through the combined affects of the rest of the body’s system- but it could do a lot more if we ignored the those limitations).

To get into 6GW we’re talking about technology replacing everything in the human body except for the core (the brain). 6GW looks like brain leveraging technology directly, without the rest of the human systems in play. And then we progressively get to a point where machines are “better” than the brain. (7GW is when brains are made obsolete by machines.)

OODA Loop Track –

Using Dan’s OODA Loop analysis – When we run out of links to analyze as representative of generations of terrorism the OODA loop becomes irrelevant. Restated: The human decision cycle becomes irrelevant.
