CYBORG RISE. "We are going to see a merging of human and machines ... We will have direct brain connections to the virtual world and internet. Similarly more and more of our bodies will become machines (already people have implants and artificial limbs and this will only increase). Soon we will not be able to easily draw the line between human and machine / robot." http://mixedrealitylab.org/ View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues with the fascinating vitamin D story. Not only is vitamin D actually behaving more like a hormone than a vitamin, it has been used in the treatment of many diseases. Few other natural molecules are so pivotal in health as this remarkable substance. View in LinkedIn

THE BRILLIANT AND TRAGIC TURING. "Turing's pivotal role in cracking intercepted coded messages enabled the Allies to defeat the Nazis in many crucial engagements, including the Battle of the Atlantic ... Turing was prosecuted in 1952 for homosexual acts, when such behaviour was still criminalised in the UK. He accepted treatment with oestrogen injections (chemical castration) as an alternative to prison." https://lnkd.in/eT3AD4p View in LinkedIn

TURING TEST. "Turing put forward the idea of an 'imitation game', in which a human being and a computer would be interrogated under conditions where the interrogator would not know which was which ... if the interrogator could not distinguish them by questioning, then it would be unreasonable not to call the computer intelligent." http://www.turing.org.uk/scrapbook/test.html View in LinkedIn

SUPER-INTELLIGENCE. "It was in the 1950 paper that Turing held, most fully and confidently, that computers would, in time, be programmed to acquire abilities rivalling human intelligence." http://www.turing.org.uk/scrapbook/test.html View in LinkedIn

TURING'S OPTIMISM. "The prospect of Artificial Intelligence was raised as an issue for the general public from the very start, stimulated by the success of wartime science technology. In 1949 the brain surgeon Geoffrey Jefferson spoke out against it in a lecture 'The Mind of Mechanical Man'. In response, Turing told the London Times that 'their research would be directed to finding out... to what extent [the machine] could think for itself.'

DEAR READER, now we return back to the topic of programmable matter, after the titilating, but unsettling distractions of future sexuality. Almost as riveting. View in LinkedIn

SOMEWHERE in the world these cybernetic projects are under development. When you review the history of military and government experiments (earlier blogs) that have been undertaken, it becomes quaintly obvious that these experiments are being conducted. Right now. View in LinkedIn

TELEPATHY AND SMART DUST. Remember that extraordinary series of experiments between rats and humans (past blogs) where a human thought could twitch a rat tail, and two rats could jointly problem solve? Or a mind could drive a far distant machine by thought alone. Now lace in these Smart Dust and cybernetics. Brave New World. View in LinkedIn

FUTURE CYBERNETIC REPRODUCTION. Now we have come full circle to the parallel research going on with the artificial womb (earlier blogs). Combine this with our telepario companions of the future, and you step into a fully-fledged sci-fi movie, except, tomorrow (relatively speaking). With inducable electronic Smart Dust as the ubiquitous Orwellian Soma, lodged in your dopamine pleasure cells. View in LinkedIn
