Space Settlement

Stemming off of your discussion, I have a question:

Do you (or anybody else) believe that and artificial intelligence
could be created by making a computer model of the brain itself? Do we
fully understand how the neuron works, and evolves, with information?
Maybe the best way of creating AI is to recreate it using the original
biological conditions. (I believe this could occur, because of the
shear speed of quantum operations, and how well they could,
theoretically, model biological systems, in the future)

I liked your analogy with the hologram... spot on.

However, I do not believe that this will be centuries into the future!
Do not underestimate the power of human collective intelligence, which
has been emerging in the past couple hundred years. The technological
aspect of today's society has been growing at a rate thousands or
millions of times faster than the underlying political, and social
systems.
