Webster's Dictionary Definition of Metamorphosis: In Biology. a profound change in form from one stage to the next in the life history of an organism, as from the caterpillar to the pupa and from the pupa to the adult butterfly. There also comes a time, in the evolution of a species where Metamorphosis of the entire genome of a species due to sudden and radical environmental change must take place in order for the species to survive in the new environment. There have only been a handful of such times in human evolution. This is such a time. In just a few short years, the Human Race will create the AI Cocoon. This is a Quantum Computer that is able to be the first Artificial Intelligence on this planet and it will be capable of storing the Human Consciousness. Many people such as Ray Kurzweil, research scientist at Google, are lining up to be the first to achieve immortality by actually leaving their fleshy brain behind and move their entire being into the realm of the AI Cocoon. I coined this term for what everyone else is calling the Artificially Intelligent Quantum Computer because the reality of the situation is that the human animal will go into this device as a caterpillar inhabits its cocoon. But, as we all know from childhood, the lowly worm emerges from the cocoon a few months later and takes the form of a beautiful Butterfly. When human beings enter our own cocoon, in the next few years, we will bring with us enough knowledge and technology to turn ourselves into anything we want to be, beautiful or horrible, for better or worse, each with earth shaking implications. The choice will be ours to make. We need to start asking the right questions and making the right decisions based on those answers before we we go down the wrong path that may be irreversible. In the billions of years of Evolution on this planet, there has never been such a sudden time of species Divergence as this. Even when humans made the divergence from the apes, the divergence was not as profound or as fateful as the divergence we will undergo when we alter our Consciousness from that which is contained in the human brain to a Consciousness that escapes its limitations within the human skull and moved out into the vastness of infinite space and time. We have only a few years before such an event will surely take place and there are indications that this great technological achievement may be reserved for the top one percent of our world's population, at most. They may be planning to create a new species of human being to rule over those of us who they have intentionally left behind. This can only lead to a dystopian world that will dwarf the worst scenes of the most pessimistic Science Fiction movies. The subtitle of this book - #AICocon - is there for a purpose and as such represents the greatest challenge to our civilization in our history. We have to begin using the hastag AICocoon now to begin the conversation about how to prevent such a disaster for all Mankind and how to use this amazing new Scientific Breakthrough for the benefit of us all. "The needs of the many greatly outweigh the needs of the few." Commander Spock in Star Trek. It's time for the greatest metamorphosis in history to be unleashed. We must ensure that it is used to guarantee our species future and the future of all life on this beautiful and sacred planet Earth because the reverse is unimaginable and unacceptable. The author also realizes that the price he is asking for this book is outside the norm for books on this subject. However, he is asking this price to help defray the costs of the research that has been done on this subject over decades and much more to come. Without any academic or institutional support of any kind, it is highly unlikely that this major Scientific would have come from anything but his completely independent background and training.
