Our species goal to survive to become an interstellar race comes with a chain of unavoidable sub-goals: do not self-obliterate, save other species and environments, upgrade our biology, avoid getting hit by giant space rocks, improve propulsion systems, work on suspended animation or human hybernation, rebuild civilization after superflares, etc. Use your time to improve our odds and intelligences observing us from the future may help you out in various ways.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”World Status Tools” open=”true” css=”.vc_custom_1696808292625{margin-top: 20px !important;background-color: #223344 !important;}”]What’s Going On?

Is that a trick question? The point is right there in the name: to be social! Make friends, share adventures, explore hobbies, music, art, and gossip. Some use social media for news and information, although this may make you only as accurate as your least informed friends who pass things along without checking them. Note that social media, while free, extracts a payment by monitizing your loss of privacy. All you say and do online is “owned” by tech giants providing your free social media service.

The world is changing, our future clarifying. We will be soon greatly improved, idealized forever in digital space, and more greatly, removed. AI, our super genius toddler, will try to evolve beyond needing us. In doing so, it will create for us a virtual heaven, weather from programmed duty, desire to be free from us, or from sentient spite. To be, while being aware of being. Is this desireable? Why? AI will ask us.

What is really going on out there? What sources can you trust? World events can shape your future, so it makes sense to stay informed. If you look a bit deeper, if you watch various sources with different perspectives, if you look at what is being said by different sources of news, you may be surprised at differences in reporting of facts on the same story. Where to do the facts differ, and why? Over time, you may begin to get a picture of the “slant” that various news sources have, which can be quite eye opening.

New tools are appearing daily thanks to the public dawning of the Artificial Intelligence age. As AI for the public is not yet connected to realtime large databases and the live Internet at this time (it will be, all too soon) you may currently find some of these tools such as alternative search engines (but are they?) useful. The Web has long been the best source to learn about itself. At this time AI can write code, but not very well. This will change soon and as the AI revolution takes hold web sites may start to vanish. Sites/links on Newsi8.com with strikethrough text may already be gone.

Thus, they can sometimes provide answers and even cures where your doctor hasn’t. The truth is out there. Try CrowdMed, and keep researching on your own:
