Globism and Cosmism
GLOBISM and COSMISM
I believe that the 21st century will be dominated by two major ideologies –
a) Globism
b) Cosmism
Globism is the ideology in favor of the creation of a fully democratic world state, with a global media, a world language, a global culture and culturally homogenized. Achieving this goal is the aim of the Globists, of which I am one.
Cosmism is the ideology in favor of humanity building artilects (artificial intellects, i.e. god like massively intelligent machines). Building artilects implies the acceptance of the idea of creating a new dominant species, which leads to the “Species Dominance Debate”. Many people will not tolerate becoming the number 2 species and will, in the limit, go to war to preserve human dominance, leading to the “Artilect War” between the Cosmists (those people who want to build artilects) and the Terrans (those opposed), killing billions in the most passionate war humanity has ever had, because the stake has never been so high, not the survival of nations, but the survival of the human species.
I have written 2 books, one on each of these two dominating ideologies. The first book, “The Artilect War, Cosmists vs. Terrans, A Bitter Dispute Concerning Whether Humanity Should Build Godlike Massively Intelligent Machines” is selling steadily and has nearly completed its first printing, but the second “Multis and Monos, What the Multicultured Can Teach the Monocultured, Towards the Creation of a Global State” has fallen, as happened to Hume, “stillborn from the press.” This is frustrating for me, since I feel its ideas in time will become one of the two dominating ideologies of our century, as I said above.
In an effort, to get more people to buy the book and be stimulated by its ideas, I place below, its table of contents, and the first chapter. The book is available on amazon.com (author: Hugo de Garis, title: Multis and Monos).

(Written somewhat later) Ive decided to release the full copy of this e-book for free, as part of my recent conversion to being a FIMmer (Free Information Movement member). You can download the whole book for free (here).
While I’m at it, I do the same for the book “The Artilect War”, i.e. its table of contents and the first chapter.
