CHARLES MOSTER

“He has to have a Time Machine. For Real.”

About

Anyone these days can call themselves a futurist and with a little help from ChatGPT write what seems like an important literary work. That’s why it’s critical to look behind the glossy pages at the qualifications and perspective of the author before you push the purchase button on Amazon or more importantly, waste your time.

I have deep roots in multiple professions spanning over 45 years as an author, playwright, newspaper columnist, composer, computer programmer, litigation attorney, and most important – an older dad of a “growing up too fast” nine-year-old daughter.

I am a graduate of Georgetown University (1977) and hold a bachelor’s and master’s degree in political science, law degree from Temple University, and have political and legal experiences dating back to the Reagan administration where I served as a lawyer handling several billion dollars in government assets. In my spare time, I own a law firm in Texas with offices in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Lubbock, and Midland.

My interest in artificial intelligence goes back to the early days of Fortran and mastery of computer languages, such as python where I created original software for a startup company that I founded in Texas. I have represented some of the top computer scientists in the world and as a lawyer have lectured and written on the topic as to whether computers are gaining the capacity to become self-conscious and thus entitled to universal civil rights.

My scientific and legal interests and involvements span quantum and biological computers. For the record, I am a big fan of growing human neurons in laboratories and relaxing ethical restrictions, so we beat our enemies to the AI punch in building the first sentient computer system.

My published books cover diverse topics including science, technology, astronomy, physics, government, law, and – the future- my favorite topic of all.

Come join me on this most thrilling journey!

Parenthetically Thinking: Intelligent Life Outside The Margins

"It is equally possible that biocomputers will be comprised of rodent or other non-human neurons. They will become equally conscious but have an exceedingly evil disposition with little tolerance or use for the species which created them. We will create the very species which will dominate and destroy us."

 
 

FUTURE 2050 - 12 Visions Of The Time Ahead

"The South and rural America will rise again and although technically part of the U.S., will govern themselves. The rest of the country will mostly consist of the displaced, uneducated, and impoverished people of America plagued by disease, violence, and high mortality. The very rich will continue on in small self-contained secure communities protected by "Mafia-like" relationships with the ruling Washington autocracy."

 
 

FUTURE 2050 - 12 Visions Of The Time Ahead

"Biocomputers made of trillions of human neurons combined with silicon cells will come online by 2030 and be fully conscious. They will instantly advance technology, science, and medicine by lightyears achieving results which will be understood as incomprehensible and miraculous. They will answer our prayers and be viewed by many as Gods."

 
 

Einstein's Incredibly Messy Desk

"By 2035, corporations will gain independent status to govern themselves in large geographic areas in key sectors including computers (Microsoft), space/transportation (Tesla), and communications (Meta). They will have their own resident populations, support structure, cryptocurrency, and private military to protect themselves from outside world. They will be know as "Corporate City States."

Einstein’s Incredibly Messy Desk: Essays on Science, AI, Nature, & Society

Albert Einstein, one of the greatest minds to inhabit the planet presumably left behind a well-ordered estate plan and, of course, the brilliantly organized scientific works which redefined our very notion of time, space, and our place in the universe. However, few of us are aware that he also left behind a “final desk” which looked like the aftermath of a Category 5 Hurricane. However, there is a wonderful message behind the messy desk which defines Einstein’s very thought process and the secret to his success – his disdain for the precepts of academia and predilection to be an outlier in all things scientific. Author and technologist, Charles Moster, defies the world of academia and proposes his own unique and paradigm shifting essays on the critical subjects of the day and all things scientific, technological, and societal. Be prepared to see the world in an entirely new way!

“Parenthetically Thinking” – Intelligent Life Outside the Margins

The most fascinating ideas are proposed by radical thinkers who live outside the margins of contemporary thought. Their ideas are opposed by the establishment but ultimately become the new foundations in science and technology. Albert Einstein is a perfect example as his ideas upended the universal concepts proposed by Isaac Newton and were vehemently opposed by the scientific establishment before they were adopted. You can add to that the advent of quantum mechanics which proposed an alternative view of reality which is still incomprehensible to most physicists. True to this tradition, Charles Moster proposes paradigm shifting ideas in the areas of evolution, cosmology, physics, and the way we view ourselves in the universe.

The Golden Mile – The Case for the Corporate Death Penalty: HERE COMES OLD SPARKY!

It is not widely known that Bayer AG, manufactured and heavily promoted the use of Zyklon B which was used by Hitler during WW-2 to exterminate over 6 Million Jews including women and children. You can add a few other American Corporations to this ghoulish list of crimes. Lawyer and Author, Charles Moster, considers whether Bayer and other corporations should be held liable for Murder given the egregious nature of their crimes. As you cannot execute an artificial entity, the analogue of the death penalty would be to force the involuntary dissolution of the subject corporations and to seize their assets as compensation for the families of surviving victims. Mr. Moster presents a “how to book” on how to make criminal corporations pay the ultimate price.

NOTES TO OUR DAUGHTER

I almost died on May 5, 2019. My wife, two-year-old daughter, and I were on a flight to Cleveland, Ohio in hopes of being admitted to the Cleveland Clinic, the top cardiac surgery center in the world. I had never been previously admitted to a hospital and was now facing the grim reaper and the horrific reality that my daughter would grow up without knowing her 64-year-old Dad. I almost coded on the airplane and scared my wife when I informed her that I could not walk out of the plane to the baggage claim. The facts of my grave illness are not the subject of this essay but I contracted a blood and heart infection known as endocarditis. In a very short time, my chest would be cracked open and my fate assigned to surgeons and principally a heart and lung machine. Thanks to the brilliant and compassionate surgeons and docs at Cleveland Clinic, I am alive to tell the tale. That said, given the grueling recovery, I would never wish this on my worst enemy (perhaps). All of this necessarily got me thinking about leaving my daughter behind without an instruction manual. It may be that most parents in their relatively early chronological years do not dwell on the necessity of an instruction manual for their kids given the urgency of all things critical and temporary which seem to fill our early post-marital – building career and wealth concerns. However, my perspective was very different. “Notes to Our Daughter” is my attempt to distill my life experiences down to a few pages with the critical information, history, and lessons I want to share with my daughter. I hope that this narrative is meaningful for parents everywhere and at any age.

The Six Pillars of the New American Partnership: Expanded Edition

When the Founders wrote the Constitution in 1787, they did not have a contemporary democracy or republic to use as an example. They set out to formulate their theories from scratch which were published in the Federalist Papers. So how did their theories and assumptions play out? Fortunately, we have the benefit of 20/20 Historical Hindsight to see what worked and what missed the mark. In this fascinating inquiry, Charles Moster identifies the five main things which went wrong and proposes as his Sixth Pillar – a new Constitution and new government to address the problems – the New American Partnership.

Reviews

This page turner has me enthused, excited, a bit apprehensive and most of all curious on how the author knew and knows so much of the tech world and what will happen. Is he a true time traveler? At the time of the reading, a few years after he wrote his book, we are living in his predictions and foresights. As a visionary, I know there is truth and merit to this amazing read. Everyone should read this and hop on for the ride; the author and I are the same age and the time lines are wonderful besides the skill in expressing what is to come, his experience and just sharing his voice.

Kayla proWhat a journey

I have known Charles Moster for nearly 50 years. His close brush with death has summoned a beautiful message to his daughter, an example that we all would do well to follow. I applaud his candor and expression love.

Shannon Daley-Harris

Amazon CustomerA riveting exploration of the potential paths humanity might take in the next three decades.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin SJ (1881-1955) was a Jesuit priest, who made important contributions to both religion and science. He was a pioneer in employing a multidisciplinary approach to support a theory that a preexisting consciousness was "...a gravitational force which pulled matter to increasing levels of complexity - very much like a spiritual magnet..." (Moster 2018). His work was a natural progression from certain scholars in the past who have blended scientific and religious concepts to support the existence of God. One major is example is the Reverend Alexander Keith (1792–1880), a Church of Scotland and Free Church minister's landmark work, "Evidence of the Truth of the Christian Religion derived from the Literal Fulfilment of Prophecy; particularly as illustrated by the History of the Jews, and by the Discoveries of Recent Travellers. (Edinburgh: Waugh & Innes, 1826, 2nd ed.) American edition - Philadelphia: Presbyterian Board of Publication, circa 1850 (395 pp). This work, "Teilhard's Arrow" establishes Charles Moster, J.D., as a major figure in the science-religion fusion argument in the tradition of the mixed-methods approaches of Reverends Keith and Teilhard. In his critical analysis, Mr. Moster builds primarily on Teilhard to advance his theory employing scientific discoveries since the mid-1950s, the time of Teilhard's death. In so doing, he has given us a major work that should influence our thinking about God for years and years to come.

Scott Campbell Brown, Ph.D.

Almost as if he were a tour guide in a museum of exhibits from the past, the author guides us through electrifying exhibits of visions from the future. He begins the tour with his amazingly insightful descriptions of sentient AIs likely in the near future. (Note: just last week, a Google AI engineer was fired for claiming that one of their AI was sentient!) Using his experience and knowledge as a former attorney in the Reagan administration, political operative, and energy expert, Mr. Moster continues the tour by taking us though sobering exhibits of climate and technological change consequences and ends with a new, hopeful vision of religion in 28 years.

Nelson Rellim

Absolutely, fucking terrifying. Great work indeed.

Kim Jones

Is it possible to have “inside information” about the future? Somehow, Charles Moster has acquired a crystal-clear vision of the year 2050 and what can be expected in technology, particularly the future of computers and our very society. It is both frightening and exhilarating in each of the twelve areas examined.

For example, the book starts off with a bang with a discussion of AI. A surprise is that many of the predictions are developing today. “…The entire complement of receptionists and operators will be replaced by nimble AI systems capable of replicating human behavior.” Perhaps not its entirety, but the trend is apparent.

It is a ride worth taking! Mr. Moster has earned the title “Futurist”.

Charlie GoetzAnother great book from Charles Moster!

"The Golden Mile - The Case for the Corporate Death Penalty" does an excellent job of showing how a current lack of serious personal and corporate accountability can lead to tragedies of such magnitude that only systemic changes to current law can address them.

Nelson Rellim

Charles Moster‘s essay on instituting a criminal “death penalty“ on companies which, like the tobacco, pharmaceutical and oil companies, have engaged in conduct leading to innocent deaths, is engaging, well-reasoned, and relevant to a Republican Party-fanned culture of corporate impunity that has turn the United States into A sterile but cool oligarchy. Starting with a concise rendition of U.S. bad corporate bad in The past and present centuries, he moves onto an interesting discussion of criminal laws and court decisions that may well lay the groundwork for completely dismantling companies, however massive, which have intentionally, recklessly or negligently caused the death of its customers, workers, or others. He concludes with a novel and recent change to criminal law in the
U.K. which now authorizes murder charges against companies, and which can be easily adapted to American corporate wrongdoers. An easy, provocative read well worth the effort.

Terry Mazon

Future 2050 offers a captivating exploration of twelve potential futures for the year 2050, blending speculative fiction with insightful analysis. Each vision presents a unique perspective on possible technological, environmental, and social developments, providing a broad and engaging view of what might lie ahead.

The book strikes a balance between optimistic and cautionary scenarios, encouraging readers to reflect on both promising and challenging aspects of our future.

Future 2050 is a thought-provoking read for anyone curious about the future. I highly recommend it for its imaginative storytelling and practical insights, which stimulate both reflection and discussion.

Scott Campbell Brown, Ph.D.A must read

Charles Moster's previous book, Teilhard's Arrow - A New Theory of Everything, was an important contribution to human kind's understanding of nature. His Six Pillars demonstrates a rich understanding of our Constitution and how its premises have been violated. He offers constructive solutions to get our country back on track. As an author of a trilogy on our Founding Fathers, I very much appreciate Mr. Moster's perspective. This is a must read!

Scott Campbell Brown, Ph.D.

Charles has done tremendous justice in predicting future trends through his sharp knowledge, understanding, and vision. I recommend reading this book to everyone interested in understanding the future and extrapolating the certainty of an event in the next few decades based on these thoughtful predictions.

Aariya

Somewhat like meandering through the American Museum of Natural History, but the exhibits in this museum are fascinating vignettes from the Future. Entertaining and worth the trip!

Stephene Miller

I can only conclude that Mr. Moster has access to a time machine because of the incredibly detailed nature of his predictions of the future. His vision of the coming biocomputers based on laboratory grown neurons is both fascinating and frightening - and to think that all this may come to pass by 2035! He has also provided uncanny observations as to the future of medicine and whether immortality is still within the grasp of baby boomers. I sure hope so. Finally, unlike other futurists, Mr. Moster has the professional qualifications as a technology attorney and computer developer/programmer to develop his arguments and conclusions. Once you pick up this book, you won’t put it down. It’s an exciting ride and highly recommended.

Calistro Vasquez,JrHighly Recommended. It is a truly visionary book, well worth reading

Incredible insight!

AndreGreat read!!
