I plan on winning the New Jersey high school science fair this year with my parallel neural vagrant cooperative computer project. Research began on this project over 35 minutes ago when I read this thing on enhancing cognitive powers by transitioning to an interconnected mind which will lead to a new race of humans:

This is only possible by interconnecting the human mind with human mind, in a sort of collective consciousness. The processing power of many will solve many important problems (such as space travel). Problems that plague the fabric of humanity, such as leaving the solar system, can only be solved by such collective thought. There are many attempts to make machines that behave like the human mind, but that is the wrong direction. Only by clustering the grey matter of the brain will we be able to solve the problem of extinction or self destruction.

So I plan on creating a local network of vagrants (volunteers, of course…I’m not crazy!) and slightly unscrewing their skulls so I can wire their brains together. Then when I get all the synapses and neurons firing together in a parallel circuit, I will control the world’s first human computer.

From there, I haven’t decided where I want to go with the project. World domination sounds funny and is the obvious route, but that feels like it would entail a lot of work. I’m leaning towards opening an H&R Block office. Taxes are really hard to figure out, and if I have a powerful manputer doing all the work I’ll be able to handle hundreds of customers at a time with virtually no overhead. My only costs will be the manputer’s salaries and office rental.
