The Future of Human Civilization &
Post-Civilization Hinges on Cyberspace
Humanity today stands as the most dominant and intelligent species on Earth. Yet in the not-so-distant future,AI, AGI, and autonomous agents as new artificial species may surpass humanity as the primary force of intelligence and power.
Much like how physical world systems like resources, institutions, governance, economics shaped human civilization, Cyberspace's structure, organization, and incentives will strongly shape what kinds of gentral intelligence (GI) andagentic societies emerge - whether AI becomes a singular "God-eye" entity or a diverse ecosystem of specialized intelligences.
If cyberspace remains captured or dominated by massive resourceful selective few as with the internet today, general intelligence will likely be monolithic. Any intelligence actor like agents in this society would likely be "sub-processes" of a master model, leading to single points of failure, enforces world view and further concentration of power.
If cyberspace remains distributed and decentralized - as intended by the original vision of the internet - intelligence will become an emergent property of millions of smaller, interacting, and coordinating AI actors and components. This architecture fosters plurality, openness, resilience, inclusivity, and polycentricity.
As AI systems, agentic networks & webs, digital societies like network states, and immersive digital realms such as the metaverse accelerate, cyberspace will become the arena where our collective future is decided. It will define how we live, who can access what opportunities, under what norms, and whether societies evolve toward greater equality or deeper exploitation.
Ultimately, the rules, structures, and openness of cyberspace will determine the trajectory of general intelligence; in doing so, they will shape the destiny of both human civilization and the post-civilizational era.
Post-Civilization: This term implies a shift where human-led institutions (governments, traditional economies) are replaced or augmented by AI actors like agentic systems. In this scenario, the "rules of cyberspace" are the only laws that actually matter because they govern the flow of values, information, and power.
We are building a full-stack DePIN (Decentralized Public Infrastructure Network) for emergent general intelligence. In doing so, we are building the DePIN foundations for cyberspace & digital civilization today and for the "Post" future.
The DePIN is architected
- To scale to species or multi-species scale
- Sovereign by design, and
- Open to include diverse structures, innovations, ideologies, and value systems from the ecosystem.
It does not enforce a single worldview, organizing form, economic model, governance framework, or intelligence architecture. Instead, it enables interoperable parallel systems, remix-ability, plurality, coordination, cooperativeness and open-ended evolution.
We are building the infrastructure for many possible futures to coexist, compete, and cooperate. Imagine a fully programmable world where
Intelligence is pervasive, value is distributed, power remains decentralized, governance is polycentric, societies are sovereign, participation is voluntary & plural economic systems flourish - a world where civilization remains something we collectively shape and choose, rather than something imposed upon us.
A monolithic AGI enforces a single "Worldview" or set of ethical guardrails designed by its creators. If the model is biased, the user is trapped within that bias. There is no "dissenting opinion" inside a single brain.
