I think LW as a whole (but not some individuals) ignored practical issues of cognitive enhancement.
From outside-in:
Efficient learning paths. Sequences are great, but there is a lot of stuff to learn from books, and would be great to have dependencies mapped out with the best materials for things like physics, decision theory, logic, CS stuff.
Efficient learning techniques: there are many interesting ideas out there, but I do not have time to experiment with them all, such as Supermemo, speed reading.
Hardware tools. I feel like I am closer integrated with information with iphone/ipad, if reasonable eyewear comes to market this will be much enhanced.
N-back and similar.
Direct input via braiwaves/subvocalisation.
Pharmacological enhancement.
Real BCIs, which are starting to come to market servicing disabled people.
Even if these tools do not lead to Singularity (my guess) they might give edge to FAI researchers.
Do you know of a good online resource that I could use to get a fuller picture of the different approaches of cognitive enhancement? I've used Anders Sandberg's page before but I imagine it's rather out of date.
Unfortunately no. I suspect Michael Vassar might have some ideas, if you can get him to write something up. Otherwise hoping someone else chips in.
I believe he did send me a hugeeeee folder of IA-related papers and such at some point (or Justin Shovelain forwarded it to me). I'll try to find it.
Yes, please share what you can. Or forward to znkxurfva@tznvy.pbz if possible.
Alright, I can't find what I was looking for, but after the Singularity Summit I'll see what kinds of resources I can get from Vassar and Justin.
This would be worth a top level post by itself, wouldn't it?
I'd appreciate being cut in too! My e-mail is ispollock [at] gmail.com
Could you email it to nojustnoperson [at] gmail.com, too?
BTW, some of the Englebart-related posts seem relevant here.
