PLAYING DARPA: “THE EMERGENT CONNECTOME”

October 4, 2012 By Joseph P. Farrell

This one was brought to my attention by a friend, Ms. P.H., who sent it to me in an email, and it suggests all sorts of things, some good, some bad: The Emergent Connectome The Blue Brain Project accurately predicts connections between neurons. Now, before we get to the one specific statement in this article that still leaves me breathless, let me lay some of my philosophical cards on the table, and make a few comments about the general Gestalt of this article and its implications. First, the philosophical cards: I am not a materialist, nor, for that matter, am I a 'non-materialist', in … [Read more...]

DARPA: PROSTHETICS, AND HUMAN-BRAIN INTERFACES

June 26, 2012 By Joseph P. Farrell

While researching our forthcoming book, Dr. Scott D. de Hart and I spent some time looking at various projects that the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, have been conducting, projects that might be called "transhumanist." Readers here also know of my fascination with the agency and some of the projects it is known to be engaged in. Indeed, I often like to visit its website, for it is a window into the type of future that its scientists and researchers not only envision, but in some respects, are attempting to anticipate, develop, or in some cases, counter. The website has as … [Read more...]

NEUROWEAPONRY AND RELIGION

February 6, 2012 By Joseph P. Farrell

Remember yesterday's blog about the mapping of areas of the brain where "sacred" or "core" beliefs were stored? In it, I raised the speculative possibilities that this presents for a technology of psychological and social engineering. Well, as a follow-up, we have this interesting piece, submitted to me by Mr. V.T., from The Winnepeg Free Press: Ethics of 'neuro-weaponry' hard to wrap your brain around Now consider the implications and meanings of some of those statements in the article: "'We are approaching a time when brain science will be critical to our national security," confirmed … [Read more...]

DARTMOUTH… AND DARPA?

October 25, 2011 By Joseph P. Farrell

Yesterday I blogged about DARPA's (The Defense Advance Research Project Agency's) latest mind control neuro-linguistic programming project. Now it may seem that DARPA is one thing, and what I am going to talk about here is quite another, but we need to know something about DARPA first, before the article that I am going to link here makes sense. First, you need to know that DARPA is kind of the American version of the Kammlerstab of SS General Hans Kammler. In short, it's a think tank and "coordinating" body, that is to say, it seeks out and recruits top scientists in various fields, for the … [Read more...]
