AI Revolution and Universal Consciousness

[Victor Vahidi Motti]

Dear Futurist Colleagues,

I am writing to share some reflections regarding the recently released AI prompt-engineered presentation on the application of Macro History to the futureS of AI revolution, accessible here:

While I was not directly involved in its production, I can confirm that the creator, Mr. Luis Ragno, used AI responsibly. Through reliable resources and close supervision, he successfully avoided the hallucinations and common errors often found in similar AI-generated outputs.

The representation is accurate and aligns with the content of my books listed on Amazon and the articles found on the Commentary page of the Alternative Planetary Futures Institute website.

Regarding the time horizons mentioned, the rapid pace of social and technological innovation has made me less convinced that we should remain conservative with our timelines. For example, developments I previously anticipated for 2080 might now occur around 2050.

I appreciate that Luis has released notes on this framework in Spanish (https://cepcuyo.com/a-transformation-journey-to-planetary-futures/). 

The presentation resonates deeply with earlier related work by pioneer futurists such as in Future Mind: Artificial Intelligence, where Jerome Glenn explored both mystical and techno attitudes toward the Mind, as well as Beyond Identities: Human Becomings in Weirding Worlds, where Jim Dator specifically suggests Earth as the Unit of Analysis (page 74).

On a personal note, I usually prefer a philosophical focus on consciousness over a technical or business-centered focus on intelligence. 

Intelligence in all life is a cornerstone of the Persian-Indian worldview, which developed independently from modern science. 

My 2025 science fiction book, The Loom, explores this as an alternative to dominant Middle Eastern and Western beliefs based on the distinction between Creator and creation (https://.blogspot.com/2026/03/every-path-is-sweet-metaphysics-of-unity.html).

To delve deeper into these mystical attitudes toward universal consciousness, I highly recommend The Conference of the Birds by Farid ud-Din Attar. These themes also align closely with the experiential spirituality found in the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads regarding non-duality and ego-transcendence.

Best Regards,
