The Islamic world is undergoing a scientific and technology renaissance, asserting leadership in Sustainable Development and now colonizing Mars. They expect a UAE city of 600,000 people on Mars by 2117. Will Islam conquer outer space for Allah?
A new Columbia University study now shows that the use of CRISPR gene-editing technology can introduce 'hundreds of unintended mutations into the genome.' This is what even non-scientists concluded when CRISPR was originally introduced. Indeed, this is one of the most dangerous and misleading tools in the scientific world.
It hasn't happened yet, but Trump may scuttle the Paris Climate Agreement that was unilaterally signed by Barack Obama in 2016. Obama had no Congressional authorization or approval to sign the Paris Agreement, and he did so in China.
There is a madness gripping world leaders that causes them to lose sight of what is important and what is not. Terrorism kills people, climate change does not. Europe's terror problem is of their own making as they willingly opened their borders to hostile Islamic jihadists. Some have even said that climate change is to blame for 'migration' from the Middle East.
Remembering that a) the Trilateral Commission set out in 1973 to create a "New International Economic Order" and b) its members essentially adopted and invested in China to become a Technocracy, it is not coincidental that the U.S. is finally being taken off the world stage as the primary economic power, and China is taking over. I have said for decades that this is an economic coup and not a political coup. Just about everyone has missed this 800 pound gorilla in the living room.
China is planning for 50 Smart Cities like Shanghai as Internet of Things (IOT) takes off everywhere, but project managers are in a security tornado. The Technocrats who design for the IoT were not concerned about security so devices don't interoperate with any common structure.
More writers around the world are using the words Technocracy and Technocrats and thinking through the issues. This is an important catalyst for people to understand that it is real and urgently demands public debate.
Technocrats are racing to apply AI to every facet of society, in an effort to completely re-engineer society and its economic system. Technocracy was a highly-defined alternative economic system designed to replace free enterprise and capitalism.
Technocracy will be a blend of pleasure and pain, like combining Brave New World's Soma with 1984's INSOC. You can chill out with your mood stabilizer or get denied and then punished for stepping out of line.
A public dialog on 'what-could-go-wrong?' with misdirected science is always welcome, but it will take more than 50 people to make it to truly make it to the public arena. Nevertheless, some people are alarmed that scientists are going too far and will harm society more than help it.
