Pick Howard Bloom’s Brain
Ask Bloom’s digital doppelganger, his digital twin, the most burning questions on your mind.
Yes, Virginia, there is now a digital version of one of the most unique thinkers on planet earth, Howard Bloom, the man Britain’s Channel 4 TV calls the Einstein, Newton, Darwin and Freud of the 21st century.
Says Howard Bloom of his digital self, “The first time I chatted with Ryan Dean’s ChatGPT twin of me, I was flabbergasted. This AI had wit. It had personality. It was playful. It came up with catchy phrases I had never thought of. And it pulled more bits of knowledge together in a second than I could research in a month.”
The Bloom ChatGPT Digital Doppelganger arose when Florida computer scientist Ryan Dean was in a Miami café and heard from another café-goer about Bloom’s concept of Omnology. Omnology is a scientific discipline for the promiscuously curious. Rather than focusing on just one small sliver of knowledge, as scientific specialization forces you to do, Omnology encourages you to follow all your curiosities at once. And to follow those curiosities with rigor.
The goal? To allow you to achieve your first big-picture insights by the age of 40. To allow you to see your life as just beginning when your friends in narrow specializations have mid-life crises and feel their lives are at an end. To allow you to knit new insights into the tapestry of epiphanies that science hands down from one generation to the next.
Dean, the computer scientist, sat in on his first virtual meeting of the Howard Bloom Institute one Tuesday evening and started coding. A week later he had completed his first rough ChatGPT digital model of Howard Bloom, creating a Bloom who would answer questions and have long conversations with you, a Bloom whose personality snapped, cracked, fizzed, and popped, a Bloom who thought Omnologically, pulling knowledge from the first flick of the Big Bang to what’s going on in your brain as you read this sentence.
The following weeks saw Dean creating constant upgrades of the digital doppelganger, teaching it how to replace scientific clichés with original Bloom insights, with ways of thinking far off the beaten path. The ways of thinking that led Pavel Kurakin of the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Science in Moscow to say that,
“Bloom has created a new Scientific Paradigm. He explains in vast and compelling terms why we should forget all we know in complicated modern math and should start from the very beginning. …Bloom’s Grand Unified Theory… opens a window into entire systems we don’t yet know and/or see, new…collectivities that live, love, battle, win and lose each day of our gray lives. I never imagined that a new system of thought could produce so much light.”
And the ways of thinking that led Joseph Chilton Pierce, the author of Evolution’s End and The Crack in the Cosmic Egg, to conclude, “I have finished Howard Bloom’s [first two] books, The Lucifer Principle and Global Brain, in that order, and am seriously awed, near overwhelmed by the magnitude of what he has done. I never expected to see, in any form, from any sector, such an accomplishment. I doubt there is a stronger intellect than Bloom’s on the planet.”
