Using GMO viruses to kill bacteria? This is a Pandora's box that may never shut. Scientists have already warned of the sloppy and unintended consequences of using CRISPR to modify DNA, but now genetically engineering viruses to cause death-switches completely ignores such warnings.
This is a must-read article on the real impact of automation and AI on employment, which is reportedly being vastly underestimated. As Technocracy draws closer to critical mass, this mega-trend will lead to a siren call for Universal Basic Income (UBI). UBI is tantamount to outright slavery because it will lock in the new class of humanity called 'unemployables'.
As a maturing Technocracy, China is following the prescribed course of action to control carbon and hence, energy. The carbon trading market has thus far failed in every instance, but that does not deter scientists who are certain that the 'science is settled'.
Removing carbon from the atmosphere would certainly reduce food production to famine levels. The same job can be done by planting trees., which consume CO2 the way nature intended it.
Elon Musk is running one of the biggest alternative energy scams ever. The Technocrat mind does not worry about conflicting facts that disprove their case. If all government subsidies were withdrawn, Musk's entire empire would collapse into bankruptcy within months, if not weeks.
TN has repeatedly stated that the intelligence community in America has gone rogue, taken over by Technocrats who have their own agenda to re-engineer society after their own vision. The problem is that their vision is a crackpot view of Utopia that promises everything but delivers nothing.
Robots that are self-aware and able to learn about themselves and develop their abilities are just a few years away, and it will change the fabric of society virtually overnight. When real people are unable to determine if they are interacting with a robotic AI program, everything will change.
'Slow start' means anything but stillborn; The 2030 Agenda is like a huge cruise ship that take a very long time to change direction. The weight of global commerce is slowly, but surely, getting behind the SDGs in order to secure their own fortunes in future global trade.
Transhumans believe that science has advanced to the point where evolution can accelerated in order to re-create humanity in their own image. This makes for interesting science fiction but in reality is full of risks and unintended consequences.
Notably, oriental cultures are not the only ones who elevate lying as a necessary and acceptable tactic for gaining an advantage over an adversary. In this case, lying to promote global warming hysteria has been raised to an art form. This is the Technocrat mind, that the end justifies the means.
