I listen to some non-violent bioconservative leaders. They are up to date on what’s going on.
Parts of technology may bother you and me. My form of action is simple. I write my representatives when I can.
Some of the advances in technology linked can add benefits and risks to any society; therefore, I respect representatives who use caution and listen to all sides opposing or not. There are numerous articles like these.
A long time ago I listened to a MI professor state one of the Great Lakes requires 80 years without folks dumping toxins into her to become a lake again. I am not bitter towards those who cannot see the big picture and I often feel like a third wheel around folks because I am the only one who discusses how pollution is risky; I just work on me and how I impact the environment.
There is more going on than just pollution. Technology benefits many populations. Brilliant minds the world over focus on those in despair. Other brilliant minds focus more on military advantages. Therefore, I favor technology and expect folks to use technology respectfully.
The first article talks more about insects than animals.
Science-fiction turns real: Genetically engineering animals for war
“Proof-of-existence of small-scale flying machines … is abundant in nature in the form of insects,” Amit Lal, a DARPA program manager and Cornell engineer, wrote in a pamphlet the agency issued to the prospective researchers. So far, nature’s creations far outshine our own. Insects are aerodynamic, engineered for flight and naturally skilled at maneuvering around obstacles. And they can power themselves; a common fly can cruise the skies for hours at a time. So perhaps, DARPA officials realized, the military didn’t need to start from scratch; if they began with live insects, they’d already be halfway to their dream flying machines. All they’d have to do was figure out how to hack into insects’ bodies and control their movements.
‘Neural dust’ brain implants could revolutionize brain-machine interfaces and allow large-scale data recording
Harvard creates brain-to-brain interface, allows humans to control other animals with thoughts alone
In recent years there have been huge advances in the field of brain-computer interfaces, where your thoughts are detected and “understood” by a sensor attached to a computer, but relatively little work has been done in the opposite direction (computer-brain interfaces).
