Hurry up sundown

    

   I believe the sun is about to set on the human experience.  This is not Chicken Little telling you that “The sky is falling.”  It is information gained from London’s CNN Business and the MIT Technology Review.  Both are talking about brain-computer interfaces.  The two large corporations involved are Neuralink, founded and backed by Elon Musk with an investment of $100 million.  The other, Synchron, backed by funding from Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos.  Synchron has already implanted its chip in 10 people’s brains and launched a patient registry to gear up for a larger clinical trial.  The justification of these cell phone based systems is to benefit those seeking a memory boost or those with congenital defects. I suspect that euphoric joy and a feeling of well-being will be added to bolster sales and influence.

   The systems currently work most effectively when a chip is implanted in the brain itself.  Not all people will be anxious to have this procedure, although the current chips are being installed by a surgeon guided robot and should make the surgery more acceptable.  Those who have had the procedure done will no longer need to carry a cell phone.  They will once again have the use of their left hand.  I believe that the chip in brain in-plant is early days technology.  “The pioneers take the arrows.”  Just as an early telephone was hard wired to a phone wire system, the early cell chip in brain will be required to turn your brain into a cell phone receiver.  In my opinion, once the language is perfected between cell and brain, only a wireless update will be required to give your brain the sending and receiving ability.  No permission required.  You will only be required to be in cell tower range or with the more expensive and effective program it will be satellite communication.  It will work at sea or in a remote forest.

   When you have Elon Musk competing with Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos for power and wealth you are looking at a world class competition.  It will not progress slowly.  All of that power and greed in one little game to have absolute control over all humankind.  We will no longer need a government to guide us along our way.  There will be no fear of a nuclear war.  All minds around the world will work well with the system.  No worries about Artificial Intelligence taking over humanity.  We won’t even notice it.  No more ethnic or religious prejudice.  No more party politics.  No more MSNBC or FOX.  What could be better?

What's In The World?

    To some the world includes the Atomic Level.  That is a level that exists below our sensory capacity.  Does it exist?  Looking at existing nuclear energy generating facilities or two missing cities in Japan, one would reasonably conclude that it does.  Would this acceptance allow for a level of existence below the atomic level, commonly referred to as the Nano level or quantum physics?  I think it does.  Would this line of reason allow for a level of existence below the Nano level?  Possibly it would.  Then why not a level of existence larger than the one we experience?  I often refer to our universe as possibly part of a living thing.  Could there be intelligent life residing in the atomic level of our bodies?  If there were, would your body not be the universe to them?  Our current science community spends a great deal of time looking at the smaller levels of existence, but very little time searching for a larger level.  I suspect ego is guiding the research.

   Einstein once said “I believe two things are infinite.  The universe and human stupidity and I’m not sure about the universe.”  I think he was bitterly saying, I gave the human race a window into a different level of existence and they used it to blow each other up more efficiently. Humans may yet use this knowledge to end humankind.  There is something to be said in favor of his observation.  I will say it.  “Perhaps we humans are better off if we operate only in our limited natural perceived level of our world.”  I can see that this is an ignorant point of view, but nuclear plants produce nuclear waste and perhaps “ignorance is bliss.”  Ignorance obviously has never failed Donald Trump or thousands of religious leaders.  The teachings of a God that created the universe as we know it in six days, six thousand years ago and rested on the seventh, or that the creator of the universe fathered a child with a human mother goes to prove Einstein’s theory of human intelligence.  If you are a True Believer or a MAGA (Morons Against Government, Association) person, I apologize and hope that I haven’t offended you.

   So you are reading it in this blog.  Perhaps there are infinite levels of existence both above and below our level and that we should stick to our own level.  That is what we are here for.
