Transhumanism: Man/Machine Fusion = End of Humanity?

[Scepcop]

Will man and machine eventually be fused together or blended together, to evolve the human race into a race of cybernetic organisms to fit into a new technocratic world? Technology requires us to constantly upgrade to fit large scale industrial society. Will it eventually lead to all of us becoming cybernetic organisms? Will human beings and their brains be obsolete in the future, like the telegraph is obsolete now, and replaced by super cybernetic brains many times more intelligent?

Scary huh? Sounds like a science fiction dystopia. But some people say it's a probable reality in the future. See this Time Magazine article about it.

Holy cow, check out this documentary called "The Age of Transitions". In the future, we will all be cyborgs with immortality, no free will, no sexual desires, and a total hive mind, while the elite no longer have to worry about rebellions. That's awful and chilling.

I remember Y2K. I lost one program on my computer. Bummer man!

Being a child of the 50's and growing up during those 'exciting' 60s with the 'don't trust the establishment' mindset this particular video is mild. They talk about computer chips in our brains? There's an app for that. Think about how this generation is dependent on computers and those fancy cell phones. They don't have to insert a chip directly into your brain, it's already in the palm of your hand. We are already making decisions based on what information we get from a cell phone. Your every move can be tracked via your cellphone, your associations can be tracked via your cell phone, your daily routine and schedule can be monitored, your conversations can be monitored, etc. Your productivity has already been improved without some lab rat brain implant because you can work no matter where you are or what you're doing. The term "Big Brother" used to give people a chill just thinking about it. Now it's a TV show and an American past time. People actually audition to have their every move watched by camera.

About 30 minutes into this video, Eugenics is discussed and they evolve the term into "Transhumanism" which is what this video is about. I found it strange that the images they use to explain the "Hive Mind" show these robotic bee people wearing a bluetooth. At least that is what they look like to me. Hmmmmmm. Yup, that says it all in a nutshell. They discuss sexual urges putting a crimp into the whole eugenics plan. Well now, let's think for a moment here. It seems that autism is on the rise. Some have tried to blame it on vaccinations (just one example) with absolutely no scientific proof. Regardless, the meds that are now prescribed for many of these medical maladies has got the side effect of lack of libido. Hmmmmmmm. It seems to me that many prescription drugs carry that warning in the fine print.

To sum it all up... I'm glad that I'm old. I've seen the wonders of technology evolve in my lifetime but hopefully I won't be around when that technology gets used against us. IMO, this video certainly does present what the future will hold if things keep going the way they are going.

Check out these videos about how transhumanism and future technology may lead to the end of the human race. Pretty scary stuff.

Check out this discussion about Transhumanism and how the Illuminati wants to merge man and machine to eliminate love, emotion and sexuality - to become like the Grey Aliens are. Very disturbing!

Check out these humanoid robots created in Japan! They look chillingly real! Wow. Scary stuff. I guess sci fi is becoming real! The Japanese female robot looks attractive too! Dang.



There's also an interview with Ray Kurzweil in it, where he talks about nanotechnology, and how the power of your Blackberry phone will eventually become the size of a blood cell, so that they can program "robot cells" and inject them into your body to cure disease, cancer, reverse aging, extend life, etc. That's amazing but chilling, because that means that the government could "program" anything into those cells and inject them into you, or put them in your food, and you'd never even know it! This means they'd have full 100 percent control of your mind and body without you even knowing it! And what a perfect excuse they'll have to get you to agree to it too!

Real scary stuff! I can't believe it's becoming a reality now! You'd think this was only science fiction!

Check out this trailer for "The Transcendental Man". It even shows William Shatner saying that he would accept Kurzweil's nanotechnology if it would extend his life.

Check out this documentary description. The premises, assumptions and predictions make sense don't they?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1117394/

TRANSCENDENT MAN chronicles the life and ideas of Ray Kurzweil, an inventor and futurist that presents his bold vision of the Singularity, a point in the near future when technology will be changing so rapidly, that we will have to enhance ourselves with artificial intelligence to keep up. Ray predicts this will be the dawning of a new civilization in which we will no longer be dependent on our physical bodies, we will be trillions of times more intelligent and there will be no clear distinction between human and machine, real reality and virtual reality. Human aging and illness will be reversed; world hunger and poverty will be solved and we will ultimately cure death. Critics accuse Ray of being too optimistic and argue that the dangers of the Singularity far outweigh the benefits, pointing out the apocalyptic implications that once machines achieve consciousness, we may not be able to control them...

I guess Michio Kaku is excited and optimistic about transhumanism and the merging of our brains with technology. lol

THE INTELLIGENCE REVOLUTION - Visions Of The Future - BBC

In the opening instalment, Kaku explains how artificial intelligence will revolutionise homes, workplaces and lifestyles, and how virtual worlds will become so realistic that they will rival the physical world. Robots with human-level intelligence may finally become a reality, and in the ultimate stage of mastery, we'll even be able to merge our minds with machine intelligence.

Very disturbing interview with Daniel Estulin about Transhumanism and how in this century, cybernetic beings and nanotechnology will be developed so that the next generation will no longer be human.

Daniel Estulin is an investigative journalist, researcher, author and the host of a show on RT-TV Latin America. He has given two speeches at the European Parliament on the Bilderberg Group and the international monetary crisis. He returns to discuss themes from his new book, TransEvolution: The Coming Age of Human Deconstruction. He'll describe his vision of the future. TransEvolution asserts that the depth of progress and technological development is such that people, in the very near future, will no longer be human but something else. We'll talk about synthetic biology, XNA molecules, genetic engineering, augmentation of reality, the transhumanist movement philosophy and more. What will become of us in the next generation? Daniel explains how "TransEvolution" and the rise of a new kind of human being fits in with the plans of the super elite. In the second hour, we'll get into nanobots and modern warfare. Daniel says the nanotechnological revolution is about to take humans to a new dimension. He'll also talk about food as a weapon, infertility, cradle to grave health care and the depopulation agenda. We'll philosophize on why humankind is turning their backs on their natural selves and the natural world. What does it mean to be human?

that's just silly. we can't cure cancer, we still don't have any good broad spectrum antivirals let alone with low side effect profiles, vaccines do as much harm as the wild diseases they claim to prevent, we can't clone anything that lasts for long, tissue rejection issues are still a problem, even metal hip replacements were found to flake apart and cause metallosis, so how are we going to create this amazing world in that space of time? The body is an amazing self-repairing organism already, we have never made a machine that can self-repair to anywhere near that extent -- in fact, not at all. Nanotechnology and biotechnology is just nowhere near that advanced.

Damn pay walls! I'd really like to read the Aluminum paper direct.
