Letters from the Future - III -Vendors


Letters from the future.   Many of us wonder what can be achieved with big data, which combines multiple data bases and machine learning.  This is the third of a series of letters maybe not sent yet but soon will flood the world.  We are suggesting what can be done right now, like today.  This particular letter is sent to commercial vendors.  The footnotes are for you, the reader, not the letter recipient.
NOTE.  Many databases need to be resourced for this letter.  This is what big data does, and it does it very well today. Online buying reveals, BTW, massive information about yourself – much is indirect.

Dear Vendor,

It is with great pleasure we offer you a database of names for your commercial interests.  This database contains not only names and email addresses, but also includes postal mailing addresses, and DOB (1). For the additional charge, we will also include SSN, primary bank, routing and account numbers as available - about 63% of all names (2) . As well, for this added cost, our lists include a list of buying preferences - about 41% of all names (3).

All transactions are through our agents at the Banco de Trandensi. Contact our agent, Raul Smitherton for price quotes and other available information.

We discourage governments from applying for this offer.

All data, more than 800 million contacts, are current this year. Price plans and lists are available on geographic, economic, political, and religious bases (4).  Additional filters can be created upon request.

Yours sincerely,


Johnston Mikaboy
Quiescence Information Systems

  1. Mostly available from public sources.
  2. Available from banks – for partners only. (But this is an easy arrangement)
  3. Available from online retailers – for partners only.
  4. Available from publicly available contributor lists. Religion is inferred, when possible. Economic data is inferred from credit rating and buying information. 

Remember, much data is inferred, but perfect precision is not necessary.

Human Simulation is Possible - by Humans

  Human Simulation: Agent-Based Modeling and the Computational Case for Our Reality   1.       Introduction In the essay, we introduce the notion that humanity could be a deliberate simulation based on an extremely simple single-celled organism, hardly anything more complex than that. This will allow an (apparently) new interpretation of the notion that humanity is simulated, but that there is no master engineer at a massive number of dials and switches, responsible for every twist and turn of our universe and lives. We begin with the notion that the universe exists and operates under its own laws. So, given the Earth [2] , when and where life first began, it was infused with a living agent, self-actualized, reproductive, and with other basic rules for its operations, interactions, and much of what single-celled organisms do today. The idea from this occurred some years back when writing code in ActionScript (formerly Flash), I was able to create...

The Calculus of Ideas and Patterns

  Introduction. When dealing with ideas, patterns, intuition, and brainstorming, we need operations or rules not unlike those of arithmetic. The goal is not proof, a finished device, or a fait accompli , but rather a foundation for further investigation and study. In some cases, these operations may yield a proposition, that is, something capable of being proved. In this sense, they form a practical logic of intuition. The article concludes with a few select examples from a variety of venues. Setting. We are working with a given idea, problem, or project, or simply just thinking. Our aim is to discover pathways, patterns, or conceptual connections that may be useful. The following operations describe ways in which ideas and patterns can be generated, transformed, or refined. These also work toward understanding the imagination. Yet, this framework is distinguished from formal logic and proof. We are tempted to call them as “soft logic” because while nothing is proved, reasons...

Freedom of Speech

  Think of freedom of speech as a living organism. Then think of what is required for it to survive. Coming to mind are a population agreeable to its constitution (its environment) and the institutions (its nutrients) that keep it healthy. Currently, many institutions, including some political parties, question unfettered freedom of speech and are working to deny it, claiming it is unhealthy for the body politic. Yes? No?
