Over the next several years we’ll begin to see advanced bio-technologies
hit the retail market. According to Tom Horn, author of On the Path of the Immortals,
this Beast Tech could lead to the eventual extinction of the human race as we
know it today.
Google engineers, for example, are working on life-extending technologies
that will directly modify our DNA to keep us alive longer. Some have
suggested that in the near future it will not be out of the question to live
for 150 years or more.
The advancements are happening at such an incredible pace that it’s
difficult to keep up.
Last month scientists announced that they have successfully brought back the Woolly Mammoth and spliced it with the
genes of an Asian elephant. And just a couple of weeks ago Chinese
researchers edited the genes of a human embryo, opening the door to
the real possibility of not just curing disease before a child is even born,
but enhancing them with faster muscles, a more intelligent brain, or better
eye sight.
Many of the real-world applications for DNA modification technologies are
still some years out but the evolution towards technologies that will change
a human to a cyborg are taking place right now.
Take, for example, a new tattoo that is applied behind the ear. Once
installed and integrated, the tattoo will not only act like an EEG and be
able to identify your moods, but it will also be able to “listen” to your
brain to launch applications, control home devices like your coffee machine
or TV on demand, and they’ll eventually even eliminate your mobile phone
because the speaker and microphone will be built right in.
It promises to let us monitor our brains discreetly 24 hours a day,
and can be worn continuously for two weeks, staying put whether you’re
swimming, running or sleeping.
John Rogers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign led the team
that built the device, which is so light that it sticks to the skin through
van der Waals force – the same mechanism that lets geckos’ feet stick to
surfaces. It only falls off when the build-up of dead skin beneath it makes
it lose its grip.
Comprising just a small patch of gold electrodes on and behind the ear, it
beats the existing tech, described by Rogers as a “rat’s nest of wires
attached to devices that interface to the skin with tape and gels and bulky
metallic objects”.
To test it, the team looked at their system’s performance in tasks that
clinical EEG devices usually handle. For example, volunteers were able to
spell out the word “computer” on a screen in front of them using their
brains’ electrical activity.
Their stick-on EEG was wired up to a computer for the tests, but the
team is working on wireless transmission of data and power,
something they have already achieved in other devices.
…
The focus is on medical applications to begin with – “EEG is important in
detecting seizures – particularly in premature babies,” says Rogers. But the
fact that it can sit discreetly behind an ear means that all kinds of other
applications are feasible. No one wants to wear a headset constantly, but
applying a hidden electronic tattoo once every two weeks is more acceptable.
Although Hidden EEG can’t rival the precision of the keyboard and mouse
from your desktop computer, it is good for controlling systems in a more
passive manner. Instead, it might start a coffee pot brewing in the morning
when your brain activity implies you’re waking up. Or, if the device reads
that you’re in a highly focused state, it could tell your phone to silence any
notifications.

The new technology, as noted by the developers, will also hook directly
into cell phone and Wifi networks automatically.
While this will give adopters of the technology the ability to instantly
access everything from their home air conditioning unit to their daily
schedules, the danger, of course, is that the connection to the internet will
be two-way. This means that those who wear the technology will also open
their brains up to monitoring by research teams and more than likely the
government.
Imagine a scenario where law enforcement obtains a warrant to wiretap your
brain. Or perhaps worse (but not by much), a situation that allows
unscrupulous individuals the capability to brain-hack your emotions and
thoughts.
Need to steal someone’s bank account number or password? Brain-hacking
will be all the rage and we can most certainly envision a world where this
intimate information is eventually sold to the highest bidder on the dark
web.
Just as millions of Americans who protest the surveillance state happily
put cameras, microphones, and GPS trackers in their pockets on a daily basis,
so too will the next generation of global citizens with the advent of
Beast Technologies.

While it may be hard to imagine people voluntarily subjecting themselves
to something that can read their thoughts or modify their genetic
makeup, the fact is that millions will adopt these technologies as a way to
enhance their inter-connectivity and physical abilities. If the last ten
years are any guide, they’ll be lining up in droves.
And those who don’t want the technology will be forced to have it
implanted, according to some researchers:
It’s not possible to interact with society in a meaningful way by
not having a mobile phone. I think human implants are likely to go along a
very similar route. It would be such a disadvantage to not have the implant
that it essentially becomes not optional.

Optional”
Just as there is a push to force health care and vaccinations onto people
through government mandates, you’ll likely be required to be “chipped” or
“tattoo’d” as part of your Patriotic duty. Failure to do so will mean you
don’t want to be a participant in a peaceful, law-abiding society.
This next wave of technological advancement, where we begin to directly
modify and enhance the genome and the physical human body, is unstoppable.
Governments and multi-billion dollar corporations are heavily
invested in it. A large portion of the world population will accept it
without question.
When they do, will we still be able to call them human?
