Synthetic Super Intelligence and the Transmutation of Humankind

Chapter 5: The Race for Immortality
nanobots that are controlling our endocrine system and our nervous system.
Eternal life, which was once a gift from the Queen of the Stars, now
becomes the ultimate trap and the ultimate control factor.
Some inventions, such as the drones in elderly care, may seem as a
benevolent and caring initiative, and it’s true that to some degree people can
be helped by these technologies for now, but this is also part of the plan.
They want people to believe that the technology, developed and released
now, is for the good of humanity. The same thing is true for transplants of
body parts to people who really need them and are forever grateful that it
could be done. This is then blown up in the media, and the average person
feels very happy for the injured or sick, who could be helped back to a more
functioning life this way. Also, somewhere in the back of people’s heads
they feel a little safer because on a more selfish note they think that if they
may come in a similar situation, there is hope for them.
As I’ve repeated over and over, virtually all research is tested in the
military first, before it’s released to the general public; the soldiers are the
guinea pigs. Typical examples of this are soldiers coming home from war,
wounded and often with missing limbs. Artificial limbs, at first genuinely
meant for soldiers, are then successfully transplanted, and it’s all over the
media. This is a perfect introduction to AI and the transformation of
mankind into cyborgs.

…while the replacement body seems much closer to science fiction than
science, recent advances in robotics and prosthetics have not only given us
artificial arms that can detect pressure and temperature but limbs that can
be controlled by thoughts using a brain-computer interface. 125
Nell Watson is a futurist at the Silicon Valley based Singularity
University (SU), the institute we discussed earlier, cofounded by Ray
Kurzweil. One of Watson’s jobs is apparently to introduce the idea of a new
virtual-reality-type-of-life. She says,
“I often wonder if, since we could be digitized from the inside out – not in
the next 10 years but sometime in this century – we could create a kind of
digital heaven or playground where our minds will be uploaded and we
could live with our friends and family away from the perils of the physical
