Kurzweil Predicts The Dawn Of Strong Artificial Intelligence Giving Birth To New Nonbiological 'Shapeshifting' Humans

In the near future, if Ray Kurzweil is right, nanoscopic robots will be zooming throughout our capillaries, transforming us into nonbiological humans. We will be able to absorb and retain the entirety of the universe's knowledge, eat as much as we want without gaining weight, shape-shift into just about any physical form imaginable, live free from disease and die at the time of our choosing. All of this will be thrust on us by something that Kurzweil calls the Singularity, a theorized point in time in the not-so-distant future when machines become vastly superior to humans in every way, aka the emergence of true artificial intelligence. Computers will be able to improve their own source codes and hardware in ways we puny humans could never conceive.

Scientists Grow Micro-Machines From Carbon

Scientists at Brigham Young University led by professor Robert Davis have created a new method of growing micro-machines from carbon molecules, including actuators, switches, humidity-detecting cantilevers, and filtration devices. As a test, they grew a nano-sized version of a BYU logo by patterning the iron seeds of the logo onto an iron plate and sending heated gas flowing across the surface, creating a forest of carbon nanotubes. They also used the process to make devices that quickly and neatly separate the various chemicals contained in a solution. Their approach is more precise than current chemical separation methods because it gives more control over the channels that the fluids flow through.

Transhumanism Also Heralds "The Coming Of The Gods"

Once these things become introduced into society, what's going to happen when they start to intermingle with "normal" people like in the movie Splice? In a very short period of time, man will cease to be man and will become something entirely different. A new creature. A hybrid. A god. If we are already seeing evidence that creatures such as those found in "mythology" are going to return - or in fact may already be here - does that also mean the Nephilim (offspring of the Fallen Angels) will be returning as well? I will address that question more in depth in the upcoming blog appropriately titled, "The Return of the Nephilim." But for now, let's look and see if these beings were ever really here to begin with.

It Begins: Constitutional Attorneys For #1 Policy Think Tank In The World Start Work On The Future Of "Personhood." Creation Of Fully Mature Human-Chimeras Approach


Vanna is a chimera－a creature formed from the genetic material of two different species.  In this case, the two species are homo sapiens sapiens and c. elegans, the roundworm. Vanna's designers have shaped her appearance by using human DNA, while her “consciousness,” such as it is, comes from the roundworm.  Thus, while Vanna looks like an attractive blonde twenty-something human female, she has no brainstem activity, and indeed no brainstem ... My point is a simple one. In the coming century, it is overwhelmingly likely that constitutional law will have to classify artificially created entities that have some but not all of the attributes we associate with human beings.  They may look like human beings, but have a genome that is very different. Conversely, they may look very different, while genomic analysis reveals almost perfect genetic similarity. They may be physically dissimilar to all biological life forms...

Eventually, nanotech could touch every part of our lives. There might be molecular motors and nanorobots that can build other nanomachines. In medicine, nanodevices could go inside the body to deliver drugs exactly where they need to go, monitor vital signs, or perform delicate operations. A nanoscale coating on glass could help turn the sun's energy into electricity. Nanotech could also help
make light bulbs more efficient.

Already, a company called Nano-Tex makes fabrics with different kinds of "molecular hooks" that can repel stains, eliminate wrinkles, or shed water. In the future, nanotech-enhanced clothes could respond to the weather to warm you up or cool you down.

The U.S. Navy is using nanotech coatings on their submarines to keep sea creatures off and reduce corrosion. Other nanomaterials could lead to lightweight airplanes and other types of equipment.

Little Bits of Trouble
April 7, 2004

<snip>
About 20 years ago, chemists discovered that carbon can form into molecules with the same shape. They nicknamed them buckyballs. These strong, hollow particles may someday be used to carry medicine or even block the action of certain viruses.

Scientists have now found that buckyballs can harm living cells. Research by Eva Oberdörster, a biologist at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, and her team shows that these molecules damage brain cells in fish.

Buckyballs belong to a group of materials known as nanomaterials. The prefix "nano" means one-billionth. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter—roughly the width of just five carbon atoms lined up in a row. So, a buckyball is an extremely tiny particle—only a few ten-thousandths of the width of a human hair.

To make a nanomaterial, scientists manipulate individual atoms to build molecules of different shapes. Groups of these molecules form materials with particular characteristics, making them suitable for different jobs. For example, some nanomaterials are already being used in makeup and sunscreens.

Shape Shifting

<snip>
That's the crazy idea behind the claytronics project at Carnegie Mellon University and Intel Research in Pittsburgh. Claytronics is the term that project researchers use for a form of programmable matter.

The idea is to have a huge bunch of microscopic, robotic units that can arrange themselves into different three-dimensional objects.

<snip>

So, when a friend called you, a moving, sensing copy of your friend would take shape in your room, assembled out of a pile of special beads, each one a microscopic robot. You could talk with and touch this look-alike friend, and she could do the same. It would almost be as if you and your friend were in the same room.

<snip>

If and when scientists figure it all out, the possibilities are pretty amazing.

Your toys could change shape day by day. You could play video games with people whose claytronics look-alikes interact with you, even though the players themselves live elsewhere.

If you had a medical emergency, a claytronics version of you could form in your doctor's office, and a version of your doctor could appear in your home. Using a phone or an Internet link, the doctor could examine you.

Transhumanist Hugo De Garis Goes Looking For Those Artificial Gods And Believes He Has Found The Key To Their Deism

Personally, I think if science could come to the conclusion that there is/was a deity that created the universe, then that would be wonderful for science. It would open up a vast new arena for science to play in. Science could then start wondering about the properties of the deity, the hyper intelligence that designed the universe. The question of what designed the deity should not be a reason for dismissing our universe’s deity. We live in a universe that may have a “qualitative infinity” of levels, e.g., in the past century, humanity’s knowledge of the nature of matter has descended from molecules, to atoms, to nuclei, to nucleons, to quarks, to strings. Who knows how many more layers future humans may find? As each new layer is discovered, science reacts with elation, having opened up new vistas for exploration. A similar attitude ought to apply to the idea of a deity. Traditionally, science has been rather hostile to the idea of theism. I share that hostility.I look on traditional religions as superstitions that are incompatible with modern scientific knowledge. But I’m far more open to the idea of deism, the belief in a hyperintelligence that designed and created our universe.




We Are Rounding The Corner And Going For Godhood

The scenario as envisaged by some serious scientists and futurologists is that the human era is about to come to an end shortly. The question we need to ask is what they mean by this and how is "human era" defined? Firstly, there's no denying the fact that human beings have been the most dominant species on Earth for at least the last couple of million years, since they separated from their more apelike ancestral cousins. Because thereafter - for better or for worse - their influence has been unquestioned, absolute and global. Secondly, the reason humanity has been able to attain this position of supremacy is mainly due to an enlarged brain capacity, leading to highly developed cognitive skills which has resulted in inventions...

Modern Watchers Want To Use Human Cloning Technology To Genetically Engineer New Three-Parent Nephilim Babies

In Vitro fertilization using DNA from three parents could be newest way to prevent inherited disease. Britain is considering whether to approve a new fertility treatment that swaps DNA between two fertilized human eggs. British scientists from Newcastle University say they have mastered the technique with cloning technology. The process involves removing malfunctioning mitochondrial DNA that could lead to a range of conditions. The malfunctioning cells are then replaced with healthy ones from a second "mother" who donated an egg. "As doctors we have a duty to treat disease and where possible to prevent disease.

Transhumanists Call For Papers On Expanding Human Boundaries Via Cognitive AI And Mind Machine Mergers

One vector is cognitive enhancement using pharmaceuticals, genetic therapies and tissue engineering. Direct modification of the organic brain will allow human beings to increase our intelligence, expand our memory, sharpen our capacity for concentration, and eliminate cognitive and psychological disabilities. A second vector is through ‘cyborgization’ - the incorporation of devices, nanorobots and computers into the body. This trajectory may permit the augmentation of the senses with artificial hearing and sight superior to organic ears and eyes, the direct augmentation of cognition with brain prostheses, and connecting the brain wirelessly to the Internet.  These technologies will likely converge with the growth of virtual worlds and augmented reality, blurring divisions between the “virtual” and the “real.” The third vector of human enhancement is through the creation of ‘mind-children,’ computers and robots with, at least, human-level cognition, emotions and abilities.

Cloning Humans . . . Inventing New Life Forms . . . And Other Cool Watcher Products On Tomorrow's Horizon

The most famous sheep in the world, Dolly, was a clone. Ever since she was created in the Roslin Institute in Scotland in 1997, the scientific community and public have been somewhat obsessed with the idea of cloning animals, including humans. Since Dolly other animals have been cloned including mice, sheep, cows, goats, pigs, rabbits, monkeys and cats and even the milk and meat from offspring of cloned animals has been approved for human consumption, in the EU and US. But it is the concept of human cloning which really captures our imagination, and several movies have been made with human cloning as the theme, including The Island or TV programmes like Star Wars – The Clone Wars (pictured above). Is it all science fiction? Actually no. The idea that humans could be cloned is not beyond possibility but there are some ethical and scientific issues surrounding it. For instance, the movie The Islandfeatures a cloning farm where human clones are produced for use as spare parts; making the point that human cloning could be abused. Scientists have various ways of cloning including reproductive cloning, therapeutic cloning and DNA cloning...

Today Woolly Mammoths, Tomorrow Nimrod - Gilgamesh - Apollo - Osiris: Scientists Quietly Perfecting The Science Of Bringing Dead Beings Back To Life

Prof Iritani says: ‘Preparations to realize the goal have been made. Now the technical problems have been overcome, all we need is a good sample of soft tissue from the frozen mammoth. ‘The success rate in cloning was poor until recently but it is now around 30 per cent. I think we have a reasonable chance of succeeding and a healthy mammoth could be born in four or five years.’ An expedition to Siberia in search of a fresh carcass is being planned for this summer. Prof Iritani hopes to recover skin or tissue just 3cm square. If unsuccessful, help will be sought from Russian scientists with access to previous finds, such as Lyuba, a one-month-old baby described as ‘the best preserved mammoth mummy in the world’. However, one stumbling block could be that only two to three per cent of the extracted nuclei of eggs will be in good enough condition for potential cloning, meaning the margins of success are tight. Aside from the scientific posers the project brings, other questions need to be answered – such as why bring the mammoth back at all?

DID ANCIENT BIOTECHNOLOGY CREATE "NEPHILIM"?

"The benei Elohim saw the daughters of Adam, that they were fit extensions" (Gen 6:2, Interlinear Hebrew Bible).

May 3, 2007 -- RaidersNewsNetwork.com -- In the study of the Old Testament Book of Genesis, beings of great stature called "giants" appear, which some scholars believe came into existence after powerful angels known as 'Watchers' descended to earth and used women (or their biological matter) to construct bodies of flesh, which they used to "extend" themselves into the material world.

The Apocryphal books of Enoch, 2 Esdras, Genesis Aprocryphon and Jasher support the Genesis story, adding that the sin of the angels grew to include genetic modification of animals as well as humans. The Book of Jasher, mentioned in the Bible in Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18, explains that after the fallen angels went into the daughters of men, "the sons of men taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order to provoke the Lord"(4:18). This clear reference to the Genesis 6 record illustrates that "animals" were included in whatever cross-species experiments were being conducted, and that this activity resulted in judgment from God. The Book of Enoch also supports this record, saying that after the fallen angels merged their DNA with women, they "began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish" (7:5,6). The Old Testament contains associated reference to genetic mutations, which developed among humans following this activity, including unusual size, physical strength, six fingers, six toes, animal appetite for blood and even lion-like features among men (2 Sam 21:20; 23:20).

What if, by corrupting the species barrier in which each creature was to recreate after its "own kind," Watchers had successfully mingled human-animal DNA and combined the hereditary traits of different species into a single new mutation? An entirely new being—Nephilim—might have suddenly possessed the combined intelligence and instincts (seeing, hearing, smelling, reacting to the environment) of several life forms and in ways unfamiliar to creation.

Will modern biotechnology resurrect Nephilim?

Today, molecular biologists classify the functions of genes within native species but are unsure in many cases how a gene's coding might react from one species to another. In recombinant DNA technology, a "transgenic" organism is created when the genetic structure of one specie is altered by the transfer of a gene or genes from another. This could change not only the genetic structure of the modified animal and its offspring, but its evolutionary development, sensory modalities, disease propensity, personality and behavior traits among other things.

Such transgenic tinkering already exists in many parts of the world including the United States, Britain and Australia where animal eggs are being used to create hybrid human embryos from which stem cell lines can be produced for medical research. A team at Newcastle and Durham universities in the UK recently announced plans to "create hybrid rabbit and human embryos, as well as other ‘chimera’ embryos mixing human and cow genes." More alarmingly, the same researchers have already managed to reanimate tissue "from dead human cells in another breakthrough which was heralded as a way of overcoming ethical dilemmas over using living embryos for medical research."[1] In the United States, similar studies led Irv Weissman, director of Stanford University’s Institute of Cancer/Stem Cell Biology and Medicine in California to create mice with partly human brains, causing some ethicists to raise the issue of "humanized animals" in the future that could become "self aware" as a result of genetic modification. Even the President of the United States, George W. Bush in his January 31st, 2006 State of the Union Address called for legislation to "prohibit…. creating human-animal hybrids, and buying, selling, or patenting human embryos."

Not everybody shares these concerns. A radical, international, intellectual, and cultural movement known as "Transhumanism" supports the use of new sciences including genetic modification to enhance human mental and physical abilities and aptitudes so that "human beings will eventually be transformed into beings with such greatly expanded abilities as to merit the label 'posthuman.'"[2]

I have personally debated leading transhumanist, Dr. James Hughes on his weekly syndicated talk show, Changesurfer Radio. Hughes is Executive Director of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies and teaches at Trinity College in Hartford Connecticut. He is also the author of "Citizen Cyborg: Why Democratic Societies Must Respond to the Redesigned Human of the Future", a sort of Bible for transhumanist values. Dr. Hughes joins a growing body of academics, bioethicists and sociologists who support "large-scale genetic and neurological engineering of ourselves….[a] new chapter in evolution [as] the result of accelerating developments in the fields of genomics, stem-cell research, genetic enhancement, germ-line engineering, neuro-pharmacology, artificial intelligence, robotics, pattern recognition technologies, and nanotechnology…. at the intersection of science and religion [which has begun to question] what it means to be human…."[3]

In related development, Case Law School in Cleveland was awarded a $773,000 grant in April 2006 from the National Institutes of Health to develop guidelines "for the use of human subjects in what could be the next frontier in medical technology – genetic enhancement." Maxwell Mehlman, Arthur E. Petersilge Professor of Law, director of the Law-Medicine Center at the Case Western Reserve University School of Law, and professor of bioethics in the Case School of Medicine is leading the team of "law professors, physicians, and bioethicists in the two-year project to develop standards for tests on human subjects in research that involves the use of genetic technologies to enhance ‘normal’ individuals – to make them smarter, stronger, or better-looking."[4]

Other law schools including Stanford and Oxford have recently hosted "Human Enhancement and Technology" conferences where transhumanists, futurists, bioethicists and legal scholars merged to discuss the ethical and legal ramifications of posthumans.

In his book "Life, Liberty and the Defense of Dignity: The Challenges of Bioethics," the former chairman of the President's Council on Bioethics, Leon Kass provided a status report on where we stand today regarding transhumanism. He warned in the introduction that "Human nature itself lies on the operating table, ready for alteration, for eugenic and psychic 'enhancement,' for wholesale redesign. In leading laboratories, academic and industrial, new creators are confidently amassing their powers and quietly honing their skills, while on the street their evangelists are zealously prophesying a posthuman future. For anyone who cares about preserving our humanity, the time has come for paying attention."[5]

Not to be outdone in this regard by the National Institute of Health, DARPA and other agencies of the U.S. military have taken inspiration from the likes of Tolkein's Lord of the Rings. In a scene reminiscent of Saruman the wizard creating monstrous Uruk-Hai to wage unending, merciless war, we find billions of American tax dollars have flowed into the Pentagon's Frankensteinian dream of "super-soldiers" and the "Extended Performance War Fighter" program. Not only does the EPWFP envision "injecting young men and women with hormonal, neurological and genetic concoctions; implanting microchips and electrodes in their bodies to control their internal organs and brain functions; and plying them with drugs that deaden some of their normal human tendencies: the need for sleep, the fear of death, [and] the reluctance to kill their fellow human beings," but Chris Floyd in an article for CounterPunch a while back quoted the Daily Telegraph and Christian Science Monitor, saying "some of the research now underway involves actually altering the genetic code of soldiers, modifying bits of DNA to fashion a new type of human specimen, one that functions like a machine, killing tirelessly for days and nights on end.... mutations [that] will 'revolutionize the contemporary order of battle' and guarantee 'operational dominance across the whole range of potential U.S. military employments."[6]

In keeping with our editorial, imagine the staggering implications of such science if dead Nephilim tissue was discovered with intact DNA and a government somewhere that was willing to clone or mingle the extracted organisms to make Homo-nephilim. If one accepts the biblical story of giants as real, such discovery could actually be made someday, or perhaps already has been and was covered up. The technology to resurrect the extinct species already exists, and cloning methods are being studied now for use with bringing back Tasmanian Tigers, Wooly Mammoths and other extinguished creatures.

"Let not the dead live, let not the giants rise again…" (Isaiah 26.14, Douay-Rheims Version).

The reference above from the Book of Isaiah 26:14 could be troubling, as it may reflect a prayer from the prophet, a petition to God not to allow the giants to incarnate again. Did Isaiah pray this way because he knew something about the future, something related to a future return of Nephilim?

The relationship between creatures called "Rephaim" and the Nephilim of ancient texts is enlightening, as Rephaim are viewed as the spirits of dead Nephilim in the grave. The word "Rephaim" carries with it the meaning 'to heal' or to be 'healed' as in a 'resurrection'. In the Ras Shamra texts, the Rephaim are described as both human and divine beings who worshipped the Amorite god Ba'al, the ruler of the underworld, where the Rephaim served as his acolyte assembly of lesser gods, kings, heroes, and rulers. These beings were believed to have power to return from the dead through incarnation in bodily form as 'Nephilim'. The ability of Rephaim to be reincarnated in this way as living Nephilim is viewed by some as the explanation for Nephilim existing before, and after, the Great Flood.

The book of Job may elucidate this idea when it says, "Dead things are formed from under the waters. . . ." (Job 26.5). The dead in this text are Rephaim and the phrase "are formed" is from "Chuwl", meaning to twist or whirl as in a double helix coil or genetic manufacturing. When combined with something my good friend Steve Quayle once wrote, the word "Chuwl" takes on added meaning:

"When the Greek Septuagint was created, the Hebrew word Nephilim was translated into Greek as 'gegenes.' This is the same word used in Greek mythology for the 'Titans', creatures created through the interbreeding of the Greek gods and human beings. The English words 'genes' and 'genetics' are built around the same root word as gegenes; genea meaning 'breed' or 'kind'. Thus, the choice of this word again suggests a genetic component to the creation of these giants."[7]

And what about this prophecy from Isaiah:

"The vision which Esaias son of Amos saw against Babylon. Lift up a standard on the mountain of the plain, exalt the voice to them, beckon with the hand, OPEN THE GATES, YE RULER. I GIVE COMMAND AND I BRING THEM: GIANTS ARE COMING TO FULFILL MY WRATH [emphasis added]. . . . For behold! the day of the Lord is coming which cannot be escaped, a day of wrath and anger, to make the world desolate. . . . And Babylon . . . shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. . . . It shall never be inhabited . . . and monsters shall rest there, and devils shall dance there and satyrs shall dwell there . . ." (Isaiah 13:1-3, 9, 19-22, [Septuagint Version]).[8]

Given what is happening in Babylon (Iraq) and biotechnology today, we may be witnessing the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.

Under Design: Human Blood Circuitry For Coming Cyborgs

Could electronic components made from human blood be the key to creating cyborg interfaces? Circuitry that links human tissues and nerve cells directly to an electronic device, such as a robotic limb or artificial eye might one day be possible thanks to the development of biological components. Writing in the International Journal of Medical Engineering and Informatics, a team in India describes how a "memristor" can be made using human blood. Memristors were a theoretical electronic component first suggested in 1971 by Berkeley electrical engineer Leon Chua and finally developed in the laboratory by scientists at Hewlett Packard using titanium dioxide in 2008. A memristor is a passive device, like a resistor, with two terminals but rather than having a fixed electrical resistance, its ability to carry a current changes depending on the voltage applied previously; it retains a memory of the current, in other words. There are countless patents linking the development of memristors to applications in programmable logic circuits, as components of future transistors, in signal processing and in neural networks. S.P. Kosta of the Education Campus Changa in Gujarat and colleagues have now explored the possibility of creating a liquid memristor from human blood. In parallel work they are investigating diodes and capacitors composed of liquid human tissues.

Kurzweil Predicts The Dawn Of Strong Artificial Intelligence Giving Birth To New Nonbiological 'Shapeshifting' Humans

In the near future, if Ray Kurzweil is right, nanoscopic robots will be zooming throughout our capillaries, transforming us into nonbiological humans. We will be able to absorb and retain the entirety of the universe's knowledge, eat as much as we want without gaining weight, shape-shift into just about any physical form imaginable, live free from disease and die at the time of our choosing. All of this will be thrust on us by something that Kurzweil calls the Singularity, a theorized point in time in the not-so-distant future when machines become vastly superior to humans in every way, aka the emergence of true artificial intelligence. Computers will be able to improve their own source codes and hardware in ways we puny humans could never conceive.

Get Them While They're Young: Transhumanists To Target Children On Their Ideas About God And Religion

Are children capable of contemplating transhumanism?

It is often pointed out that transhumanism shares many features with religion. It answers questions regarding the nature of the world and humanity’s place in it, offers guidance on how to live, and inspires hope. However, there are a number of important things distinguishing it from a religion, such as the lack of belief in a Deity and its emphasis on the empirical method and reason. Another distinguishing feature relates to the obstacles associated with teaching transhumanism to children.

Although being religious as an adult entails contemplation of many of life’s more difficult questions, following a religion can and does occur at very young ages. Children are able to contemplate God to some extent, usually via the anthropomorphized metaphor of ‘the father’, they are able to associate simple moral behaviors with ideas of reward and punishment, and they become enthralled in the magic-like elements of religious miracles.

But are children capable of contemplating transhumanism?

DNA In New Vaccines To Help Alter The Genetic Makeup Of Parents And Children

Ratajczak also looks at a factor that hasn't been widely discussed: human DNA contained in vaccines. That's right, human DNA. Ratajczak reports that about the same time vaccine makers took most thimerosal out of most vaccines (with the exception of flu shots which still widely contain thimerosal), they began making some vaccines using human tissue. Ratajczak says human tissue is currently used in 23 vaccines. She discusses the increase in autism incidences corresponding with the introduction of human DNA to MMR vaccine, and suggests the two could be linked. Ratajczak also says an additional increased spike in autism occurred in 1995 when chicken pox vaccine was grown in human fetal tissue. Why could human DNA potentially cause brain damage? The way Ratajczak explained it to me: "Because it's human DNA and recipients are humans, there's homologous recombinaltion tiniker.

Students Believe GM Humans Will Take Over. Smart Kids

Those who fear their children will have the father’s eyes or the mother’s dyslexia can breathe a sigh of relief. Soon, they’ll be able to genetically modify their embryonic child’s appearance, intelligence and even sex. Parents-to-be can already use Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) in order to screen specially grown embryos and avoid passing on genetic diseases. Geneticists can remove specific genes from the embryos that are linked to diseases such as asthma or dyslexia. This technology along with its moral and medical implications are hotly debated, however, cloning has thrown a new element into the mix. Geneticists can use cloning in order to alter the DNA of an embryo, which is much different than simply removing genes. They actually replace the nucleus of the woman’s egg in order to create a child with certain physical traits. Some see the use of cloning as another means to overcome infertility, however, some also see it as an opportunity to clone not only their own traits but also those of anyone around them...




H+ Leaders Coaching Vulnerable Student Bodies On How To Start Transhumanist Clubs For Building And Growing Nephilim Communities

To be officially incorporated as a club on most campuses, a group needs to have one or two documents specifying (1) how the group defines itself, and (2) how it will conduct its business (elections, officer responsibilities, etc.). When these are separated documents, they are sometimes called “defining documents” (e.g. a constitution) and “working documents” (e.g. bylaws). Think of them as your group’s tickets to reserve rooms for the campus events you want to host. As a club founder, you probably will need to adapt or create such documents to serve your group, and keep the campus bureaucracy happy (either the student activities department or the student government). Our advice: first, ask your student activities department or student government for an electronic template for the defining and working documents that they accept.




When The 'Old Gods' Are Replaced By New Technological Ones, The Transhumanist Dream Will Come True

American Gods, the 2002 book that won both the Stoker and Hugo Award among other prizes, lays out a battle between two sets of gods. One consists of the traditional gods and mythological creatures who got their power because people throughout history believed in them. They are losing steam as people's beliefs wane and are in danger of being supplanted by a new set of gods who  reflect America's preoccupation with technological advancements and obsessions with media, celebrity, technology and drugs. The protagonist is an ex-con who becomes the traveling partner of a conman who turns out to be one of the older gods trying to recruit troops to battle the upstart deities.

Futurist: We Have Entered 'The Hybrid Age'

Ayesha Khanna is the director of the Hybrid Reality Institute, a think tank that explores the practical implications of what she refers to as “human-technology co-evolution in the Hybrid Age.” The following is an edited transcript of an interview with Ms. Khanna. Joshua Brustein: What is the hybrid age? Ayesha Khanna: Humanity has had four technological revolutions. We had the Stone Age, the Agrarian Age the, Industrial Age and the Information Age. I believe we have entered a new era, the Hybrid Age. Just like we had stone tools and the wheel, or the personal computer in the Information Age, the Hybrid Age has biotechnology and nanotechnology. There will be a proliferation of technology of all sizes and shapes, the increasing intelligence of technology, and the emergence of technologies as a social actor. Joshua Brustein: When you say technology is a social actor, you’re talking about how we may interact with artificial intelligence in situations where we once interacted with other human beings? Khanna: Exactly. As human-machine interaction becomes...

150 human animal hybrids grown in UK labs: Embryos have been produced secretively for the past three years

Scientists have created more than 150 human-animal hybrid embryos in British laboratories.

The hybrids have been produced secretively over the past three years by researchers looking into possible cures for a wide range of diseases.

The revelation comes just a day after a committee of scientists warned of a nightmare ‘Planet of the Apes’ scenario in which work on human-animal creations goes too far.

Last night a campaigner against the excesses of medical research said he was disgusted that scientists were ‘dabbling in the grotesque’.

Figures seen by the Daily Mail show that 155 ‘admixed’ embryos, containing both human and animal genetic material, have been created since the introduction of the 2008 Human Fertilisation Embryology Act.

This legalised the creation of a variety of hybrids, including an animal egg fertilised by a human sperm; ‘cybrids’, in which a human nucleus is implanted into an animal cell; and ‘chimeras’, in which human cells are mixed with animal embryos.

Scientists say the techniques can be used to develop embryonic stem cells which can be used to treat a range of incurable illnesses.

This is total and absolute bullsh*t.  Stem cells can be harvested from any one individual nose and there would not be any rejection because they came from the persons own body.  They just want an excuse to play Dr. Moreau.

Embryonic is the keyword here, and the root of this whole debate. Embryonic stem cells are found nowhere on adults.

Creepy Parahumans: Are We Closing In On Actual Human-Animal Research Disclosure?

Broadly speaking, human-animal hybrid experiments are aimed to better understand the function of human body by eliminating the restraints currently experienced by scientists. For instance, if mice could be created with human immune system, it could go a long way in the study of AIDS and in creating effective treatment.  Human-animal hybrid also serves as an alternative for cloning and stem cell research, both with several legal restrictions. Transhumanism, a movement which advocates the need to develop better humans (or posthumans) by means of eliminating aging and enhancing human's intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities, strongly support the ongoing researches to create human-animal hybrids. Researchers admits the possibility of "human appearance or behavioral traits" in ACHMs and express their concern about "blurring of these (physical looks and behavior) boundaries" and calls for national expert advice in proceeding with any ACHM research involving creation of what is being popularly called as "human-animal hybrid monsters."

Transhumanists Believe We Also Have A Moral Responsibility To Genetically Upgrade Animals In Order To Redefine Personhood

Enhancement biotechnologies will profoundly impact on the nature of this co-existence. Today, efforts are placed on simply protecting animals. Tomorrow, humanity will likely strive to take this further – to endow nonhuman animals with the requisite faculties that will enable individual and group self-determination, and more broadly, to give them the cognitive and social skills that will allow them to participate in the larger social politic that includes all sentient life. As many transhumanists and technoprogressives are inclined to point out, human enhancement offers an unprecedented opportunity for the human species to transcend biological limitations. These include not just the benefits of what may be gained, but also the benefits of what may be discarded. In terms of what humanity may hope to gain, there are potential enhancements such as greater...

Mice With Human-Language DNA? Goats With Human Organs? They Already Exist, But Imagine What We Don't Know About Creations In Top Secret Laboratories!

Rapid advances in research are allowing more cases of animals being given human characteristics. Mice have been injected with the human DNA for language, for example – and they squeak differently. Goats implanted with human stem cells have blood and organs similar in DNA to humans. Several scientists have proposed implanting apes with human brain cells – one of the more troubling frontiers. Mixing up species through cell, gene, or embryo transfers has long been the stuff of science fiction – think of the novel “The Island of Dr. Moreau” by H.G. Wells. In real life, today’s research is aimed at creating animals with enough humanlike parts to test new drugs or medical therapies – so humans don’t need to be test subjects. While that purpose is laudable, transhumanism raises ethical and religious dilemmas that go far beyond those for cloning, gene therapy, genetically altered food, and other recent bioscience advances. Imagine, for example, if a human uterus is transplanted into an animal, allowing the birth of a child...

So... Is The NWO "Overman" The Eupraxsophy Of Transhumanism?

Before your mind hits overload, take the time to listen to the interview with Tom Horn on  Future Quake Radio. If you are ambitious and have the time to delve into the extended insights of Mr. Horn,  TransHumanism & Genetic Manipulation is an earth shattering experience. So what does this Transhumanism mean for mankind? Well, Joe Kovacs in World Net Daily quotes the aforementioned Mr. Horn again. “DARPA calls its project “ BioDesign,” and in its 2011 budget, the agency explains it “eliminates the randomness of natural evolutionary advancement primarily by advanced genetic engineering and molecular biology technologies to produce the intended biological effect.” Horn says the real purpose has to do with immortalism. “DARPA has an interest in figuring out how to get around the decaying process of cellular life, and they use the term creating an immortal organism,” he explains. “But it’s more than just an organism. They consider it to be potentially a lethal force that can be used in military application.”
