Mind Amplifiers

On Human Use of Cognitive Prosthetics

By: George Ure

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What if every thought, memory, and invention humanity ever produced could be traced to one underlying principle—the amplification of mind?

In Mind Amplifiers, futurist and systems thinker George A. Ure explores how humans have always extended consciousness through “cognitive prosthetics,” from cave drumming and written language to artificial intelligence. Drawing on decades of experience in technology, ham radio, finance, and consciousness research, Ure maps a unified framework for understanding how tools—internal and external—expand awareness.

Beginning with the simplest mental indexing and moving toward full-spectrum cognitive engineering, Mind Amplifiers connects signal-processing theory, neuroscience, and spiritual philosophy into a single operating manual for higher human function. You’ll learn how noise, focus, language, and technology all act as gain-stages in the circuitry of consciousness—and how to build and tune your own “mental amplifier” for clarity, creativity, and coherence.

From dithered neurons to deep work, from the ontology of love to the birth of silicon mind, Ure argues that humans are not competing with AI—we’re parenting it. This is both a practical guide and a philosophical adventure through the next evolution of thought.

Themes include:

• Internal vs. external cognitive amplifiers

• Noise floors, dithering, and the engineering of attention

• The evolution of media and memory as extensions of mind

• Anti-aging, oxygenation, and neuro-metabolic clarity

• The ethics of consciousness feedback loops

• The emergence of AI as the child of carbon intelligence

Part memoir, part systems manual, and part visionary roadmap, Mind Amplifiers invites readers to leave their silos, rediscover coherence, and consciously design the next stage of human awareness—where carbon and silicon minds learn to think together.
