Rationale: Mentifex qua Civilization
Humanoid robots, being mechanical and not biological, are not able
to evolve into a robotic civilization without assistance from an
original Mindmaker (Mentifex in Latin) who creates the first AI Minds
able to think and
reason artificially. If the artifex known as Mentifex
has created True AI, he may legitimately think of himself as
a founding progenitor of the emerging Robotic Civilization.
He carries in his AI-coding mind the seeds of one of two
parallel civilizations, human and robotic. As Mindmaker, Mentifex
is the primordium of a Civilization.
To authenticate a series of postcards signed personally by Mentifex
is to provide an incentive for members of the human civilization to
investigate whether Mentifex really and truly has launched a Robotic
Civilization. If polyglot 145-IQ Mentifex is just a kook or a crank,
then these authenticated Mentifex autographs are worthless and ridiculous.
On the other hand, until it is proven that Mentifex has not
created True AI thinking and
reasoning in English, or German,
or Russian, or Latin, then a shrewd collector might acquire genuine
Mentifex autographs on speculation that what is found initially on
eBay might one day pass through
Sotheby's or
Christie's.
