Yesterday I talked about the "gold bug," the little cupriavidus metallidurans bacterium that literally eats toxic metals and poops out 24 karat gold. There, I raised the possibility that such a phenomenon represented an alchemical technology that, with "enough money and manpower" could be turned to more industrial scale "production." As I also noted in yesterday's blog, such a technology would likely have been developed in secret, since to admit it openly would collapse the price of gold, whereas a secret deployment of it would allow the creation of secret reserves as a backing for a whole … [Read more...]
PLAYING DARPA, AGAIN: DRONES AND MILITARIZED TRANSHUMANISM
When Dr. de Hart and I were conversing during the writing of our forthcoming book Transhumanism: A Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas, one of the specific areas we noted occurred in this alchemical transformation of man and human culture was that seemingly most human of activities: war. We quickly encountered a host of bizarre government research projects that could only be qualified as being "transhumanist" in nature, which, for our our purposes, were deliberately designed with an alchemical agenda in mind. Many of these, we discovered, were being sponsored, or perhaps even philosophically … [Read more...]
TRANSHUMANISM: BRAIN CELLS COME ALIVE ON COMPUTER CHIP
Last week I blogged about the achievement of scientists at Harvard growing a kind of cyborg electrical tissue of sensors out of a biological matrix. Well folks, the transhumanist genie is not only out of the bottle, but appears to be growing week by week, as this article sent to me by Mr. D.W. in the United Kingdom, attests: Brain in a Dish Comes Alive Now, as the article notes, all this is being done in the noble pursuit of trying to help stroke victims (with, let it be noted, Stem cells, which brings to immediate mind all sorts of ethical questions, not the least of which is: how were … [Read more...]
ROBOTIC SELF-AWARENESS ONE STEP CLOSER?
This very intriguing, and in its way, disturbing article was brought to my attention by a member of this website (Mr. S.), and it brings to the fore, once again, the deep need for a profound philosophical and cultural discussion on humanity, science, and the future of both: Robot learns to recognise itself in the mirror What intrigues here are not the implicit scientific and philosophical assumptions of the article - is this behavior merely mimickry by dint of a programming wizardry? Or is it a genuine robotic response to input from a mirror, a response in which it "recognizes … [Read more...]
TRANSHUMANISM: CYBORG TISSUES COMING TO A HOSPITAL NEAR YOU
I continue to be astonished - though I know I shouldn't be - by the pace at which scientists are dreaming up the bizarre and potentially humanity-ending technologies of transhumanism. But before I get to that, a word about how I tend to see transhumanism. It will be evident from the title of the book which I co-authored with my friend of many years, Dr. Scott D de Hart, that he and I see it not only as an alchemical process but as an alchemical strategy. The implicit philosophical premise of transhumanism is that mankindis the Philosophers' Stone, an essence - so to speak - to be transformed … [Read more...]
BRAVE NEW (MEDICAL) WORLD
A couple of days ago I awarded the very first Kammler-DARPA prize to the idea of a medical microchip to monitor whether or not we're all being good boys and girls and taking our medicine and eating our peas. There I argued that such an idea has already probably been conceptually expanded by the likes of agencies such as DARPA and big pharmaceutical companies like Muck, possibly in conjunction with the FPA (Food and Poison Administration) and GMO foods conglomerates like Duponzanto. Medical fascism arrived in this country long ago, but the new toy box promises virtually unlimited new vistas for … [Read more...]
GENETICALLY MODIFIED HUMAN BABIES: EARLY REPORTS OF DISORDERS…AND PATENT POSSIBILITIES
Both alchemy and transhumanism aim for the transformation of mankind. There, perhaps, all resemblance ends (though, as my co-author Scott D. de Hart and I point out in the forthcoming Transhumanism book, there is more of alchemy in it than one might at first suspect). The resemblance ends because in its most basic sense, esoteric alchemy (the alchemy that aims at the inward transformation of mankind), is precisely esoteric, it is largely a spiritual discipline, perhaps one might even say an ascetic discipline (though in many ways that stretches the term), whereas transhumanism is concerned … [Read more...]
GOLD, BEARER BONDS, AUDITS, SPECULATIONS, AND REALLY WILD SPECULATIONS PART THREE
Joseph comments in this series of vidblogs about the following articles, various scenarios out there including the "White Dragon" scenario, and offers his own wild speculations: Germany to Review Bundesbank Gold Reserves in Frankfurt, Paris, London and New York Fed Lawsuit in India to get their Gold back from The Bank of England and the Bank for International Settlements Indian central bank challenged in court to repatriate country's gold Switzerland Wants Its Gold Back From The New York Fed … [Read more...]
PHARMACOLOGICAL ALTRUISM
I freely confess that I seldom visit Alex Jones' website, but I just couldn't resist this one! In an article here, Big Pharma Pushes Drug to ‘Cure Racism’ I read something that literally made me laugh, and which also made me profoundly sad. Now for me the almost hilariously ironic contents of this article boils down to these statements: “'Such research raises the tantalising possibility that our unconscious racial attitudes could be modulated using drugs, a possibility that requires careful ethical analysis,' said Co-author Professor Julian Savulescu, from Oxford University’s … [Read more...]
