I know longer believe in Techno-utopia or Accelerating Returns

The field of National Intelligence and Defense for a Cyber Espionage Specialist doesn't exist per se, it would have to be acquired from the inside after acquiring your conventional Cyber Security Specialist for the relatively measly CIA.

How much innovative product and $$ am I hacking for them? How much oil and ore am I relocating? Cyber warfare is very real. The Nation can laugh at some petty super board of directors for Harvard and dozens of special universities and tech schools. My last legitimate degree is a Masters in cyber espionage. With what may as well be an IQ of 300+ it would take me literally hours to build fail proof firewalls for routes (that have totally altered the global network's infrastructure on a nightmarish scale) that would take trillions of years worth of algorithmic computation to trace, even with hundreds of petaflops. Who the hell else is going to be capable of doing that for the U.S.? No one.

Can't afford to play fair in this world.

The shadow governments don't care who you are, they care about results. I was born for war more than most, not conventional war.

National interests and intelligence, there's no defense about it. The modern world's infrastructure is run by its cybernated networks, information is paramount and there can be no information on this scale without cybernated network communications. This is modernized plunder, one really potent hacker is worth more than an army of hackers.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

I love how Dolos' "Hey look I'm more reasonable now" thread has become more ridiculous than most...

Than most of his thread, or than most threads ever?

They give you certain tasks depending on your skill-set, your ability, not just your education - because they can give you what you need to know (algorithm and data structure development and design, software engineering, information theory, database theory, computational complexity theory, human-computer interaction, numerical analysis, programming language theory, computer graphics, computer vision, etc.) if you're able to pick it up quickly and pick up more and adapt to new tactics on the cyber battlefield.

A masters in cyber espionage is a good way to get in, especially if one's GPA in that field is flawless. Building a million+ dollars wouldn't take much more than 7 years for the elite cyber warriors, I'd think. Especially since we're outnumbered by China. If events like hacking the Department of Energy perpetuate, that is. There's no reason they won't.

My mind is wired for software. If I were to be a self-fulfilling prophecy in anything---not that anyone anywhere with a normal IQ isn't capable of outsmarting everyone else at anything eventually, just like anyone is as capable at being as angressive, apathetic, or passive or empathetic as they want to be---it would be in networking.

is this before or after you attain 20 other advanced degrees?

Before.

Education is paramount to taking on a larger, more cumbersome responsibility than just the defensive/offensive aspects of network infrastructure. There's the essential accounting for resources when overly printed money proves mostly unreliable without the gold standard, and the minutiae of organizing the masses for global projects, et cetra. It's very very tedious and requires an all-encompassing intellectual plasticity, an ever-evolving knowledge base.

I don't like being left-out, I don't like being sub-par or even on par with others. I'm a competitive Arien, but in this age Aries' simple, "school-boy heroics" are so predictable I'd be better off as a devious Scorpio.

So, do you have any programming experience at all? What about any hacking skills? What do you know about cyber security? What are some simple ways to hack a website? What does one have to consider when running a database on a server with a web component?

untrue, one of the reasons standard-backed currencies were abandoned was because they were only the most stable in theory. In practice, they don't allow enough flexibility in monetary and fiscal policy for a state to deal with natural ebbs and flows of the international market. Were there no such ebbs and flows, a standard backed currency (any of them, gold isn't magic for some reason) would work, real world economics just doesn't work that way.

The fact is that accounting for resources is a very daunting task when there're ever-increasing currencies to back, requiring a supremely conscientious attention to minutiae. Especially when one considers motives and agendas and people cheating and breaking rules, you have to literally see patterns and motives to why things go awry. The corporate world is filled with illegitimate methodologies. Don't try and play dull to that.

Enough of cyber hackers and businessmen who may be cheating the current system.

I'm more interested in AI's ability to create software capable of cracking the human genome, and future nano-electronic strong AI's ability to generate software capable of matching the human brain, and cracking the human cognome.

That in itself, aside from enhancing anyone, could at least remove all setbacks, disorders, diseases sicknesses. At the same time there's post-scarcity, an idea that could slowly become practical, especially when we really get a synergetic system for manufacturing and producing efficiently, because the overabundance of resources to make pricetags superfluous.

But the key to doing that, is still Strong AI, capable of resource management. The stronger the AI, the better, and when weak AI software is culminated with the enhancement applications of the human cognome process, there begins the autocatalytic reaction that makes such a psuedo-cybernated government possible. Even without Moore's Law.

Once we get our own civilization completely in order, we can move onto to colonizing space.
