Where do you Draw the Line?

I believe transhumanism -is- the plan for eternal life.

This is already happening.

Human brains could be connected to the internet in 'next few decades,' scientists predict
A new research study suggests that human brains could be merged with technology significantly sooner than many expect, perhaps "within decades."

Known as the "Human Brain/Cloud Interface" (B/CI), researchers at the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing in California have suggested that nanorobots could be implanted into the human body and connect to a network in real-time.


"These devices would navigate the human vasculature, cross the blood-brain barrier, and precisely autoposition themselves among, or even within brain cells," the study's senior author, Robert Freitas, Jr., said in a statement. "They would then wirelessly transmit encoded information to and from a cloud-based supercomputer network for real-time brain-state monitoring and data extraction."

MANKIND COULD HAVE ELECTRIC IMMORTALITY BY 2050

The research was published in the scientific journal, Frontiers in Neuroscience.

First proposed by futurist Ray Kurzweil – who has also suggested that computers will be as smart as humans within a decade – the concept of B/CI would potentially allow people to simply think of a question and be answered instantly, as opposed to looking for it in a search engine, similar to how information is received in the popular sci-fi "The Matrix" movie series.

"A human B/CI system mediated by neuralnanorobotics could empower individuals with instantaneous access to all cumulative human knowledge available in the cloud, while significantly improving human learning capacities and intelligence," the study's lead author, Dr. Nuno Martins, added in the statement.

Aside from obtaining "direct, instantaneous access to virtually any facet of cumulative human knowledge," there are other potential applications, the researchers wrote in the study. These include the ability to improve education, intelligence, entertainment, traveling, as well as "other interactive experiences."

Though it is not close to being ready for widespread human trial, the nascent technology already exists and has been successful on a small scale.

"While not yet particularly sophisticated, an experimental human 'BrainNet' system has already been tested, enabling thought-driven information exchange via the cloud between individual brains," Dr. Martins explained. "It used electrical signals recorded through the skull of 'senders' and magnetic stimulation through the skull of 'receivers,' allowing for performing cooperative tasks.

Last year, scientists invented the aforementioned technology known as BrainNet, which allowed three people to share thoughts and play games only using their minds, according to The Sun.

Martins added that thanks to the advancement of neuralnanorobotics, there could be a 'superbrain' created that could revolutionize democracy, enhance empathy, and ultimately unite culturally diverse groups into a truly global society."

I had a cell phone. Now, I have something you don't, freedom.

The system will allow persons with neural links to use them on tests. Regular people won't be able to compete.

Drawing lines... I suspect this has been done since the planet was seeded. - how you behave, what you eat, etc, and not always a change because of drawing a line, but, eg, to be more healthy, be more clear of thought. Simply because of need, I use my custom pie ROMed phone basically only for finding a bus or subway; yeah an occasional crossword but getting bored of those. Moment to moment you draw lines with tech - like deciding what not to waste time with on your phone, no matter how advanced it is. TVs incl Roku and the like are, to me, perfect for exercising my channel hopping fingers. I find little to "watch". Sometimes some pretty scenery but it's oft coupled with a narrative belief system that doesn't fit for me. I have built numerous computers but now reduced to a 5y old laptop that more than does what I need (Ubuntu,win7). Though electronics savvy, the last thing I bothered to build was a Hulda zapper and that was decades ago. (I don't recall Herxing from it so I must not have needed it much!) I do use a TENS for various things, as needed, to purify the package.(body-spirit). I find RIFE frequencies occasionally useful, as well as other audio modes. Again, only to purify. I noticed with amusement that this week I inadvertently converted to vegan (or whatever it is), simply as a result of modifying diet to produce a body result - not because of setting any line. There has always been the desire of some to manipulate/control others for their own devices. Tech is cute, but you gotta be smart. Don't leave that RJ45 plugged into your smart TV... Assume that anything you do on the internet - web, email, etc - is viewable by all. It's not being paranoid, though a little of that may be useful, it's being smart. And on and on - yada yada. :D

With the AI revolution at least we'll be able to see what we are really made of. We ourselves are literally being copied (666, our number). Satan told his followers that they would rule, and with bodies (a precious comodity). I'm sure he'll try and deliver on that.

Yes. A crafty way to sell the mark of the beast as state of the art technology.
