(and they actually think this is something good? Who wants some finite machine inside a brain that is far more creative in its unique design? Control freaks) Super humans that are sexier, stronger and smarter will arrive by 2029 as brains begin to fuse with machines, Google expert claims Ray Kurzweil has made 147 predictions since 1990 and is correct 86% of the time By 2029 our brains fuse with machines - an event known as singularity He says machines will exemplify what we value in humans to a greater degree Machines are already making us smarter and will move inside our brains soon Technological singularity will turn us into super humans some time in the next 12 years, according to a Google expert. This might sound like science fiction, but Google's Director of Engineering, Ray Kurzweil has made 147 predictions since the 1990s and has an 86 per cent success rate. Kurzweil says when we live in a cybernetic society we will have computers in our brains and machines will be smarter than human beings. He claims this is already happening with technology - especially with our addiction to our phones - and says the next step is to wire this technology into our brains.

As technology become creepier, it makes me crave simplicity even more. Sadly, it seems there's no escape as technology is becoming more invasive and over reaching all the time. Lately, I've had the desire to "escape from it all" by moving my family to a self-sustaining farm. It would not be easy, but far more simple. I would be naive to think that technology wouldn't follow us to a farm though.
. My above post was in reply to this article. Go figure, I can even mess up something as simple as "reply" button!
ANOTHER... lets use the stars and planets and our ideas to come up with a reason why this date in history is so important and why the world will change forever on that date. Then for the one zillionth time nothing happened
It may merely be a trumpeting of this technology in order to attract funding. However, for people who harp on so much about intelligence, there seems to be no comprehension of the difference between intelligence and calculation speed. We have all heard of these insensitively-named 'idiot savants', as exemplified by the film Rainman, who can rapidly compute huge calculations but lack any idea of their meaning or applicability. No machine will ever be as smart as even the dimmest human being. The gulf between what machines do and the reasoning ability of humans is so vast that the comparison is really a category error, the assertion of which, in itself, suggests a lack of smartness. It is the height of hubris, surely based on an ignorance of the facts, to contemplate improving upon what God has created. This folly may enable humans to think faster, but this does not mean they will think any better. In most cases, we should expect they will think wrongly or evilly more quickly, with a greater liklihood of leaving insufficient time for judgement and second thought. The subject vaguely reminds one of 'the mark of the Beast' and will less vaguely do so if elements of coercion or excessive hyperbole come into play. The tragic reality of our civilisation is that, despite our technology and indeed as an indirect consequence of it, the intelligence of the human race very strongly appears to be declining. There has been an enormous reduction, despite a radically increased population, of great musicians, painters, writers, philosophers and scientists in the last two centuries. Where have the likes of Shakespeare, Mozart, Gödel, Einstein and Aquinas, to name but a handful been in the last half century and more, in spite of the assistance of computers and their programmes and a vast array of other technology? I have seen it suggested, very plausibly, that the decline in intelligence is a result of reduced childhood mortality, itself a result of improved medicine and nutrition (in many cases functions of technology), which consequently leads to the survival of defective physical traits, most manifestly in those traits which display the highest complexity-generally the neurological ones-which are inevitably transferred to subsequent generations. The phenomenon described is highly cumulative. The good news is that it should be self-limiting. As our civilisation becomes increasingly stupid (and the evidence is all around us), child mortality will rise again, selecting out the deleterious traits once more!

One can see it coming already, with the changes in banking procedure and the moves to abolish cash. Nothing will be made compulsory but it might so happen one will be unable to access one's income without having a dna-dependent chip in one's brain. All for the benefit of personal security, of course.
I tried to write some words for this post, but I cannot find them... Instead of words, a prayer below.... https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/f...y-pretends-to-abort-jesus-in-front-of-cathedr View attachment 6218 Most glorious Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, turn thine eyes in pity upon us, miserable sinners; we are sore afflicted by the many evils that surround us in this life, but especially do we feel our hearts break within us upon hearing the dreadful insults and blasphemies uttered against thee, O Virgin Immaculate. O how these impious sayings offend the infinite Majesty of God and of His only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ! How they provoke His indignation and give us cause to fear the terrible effects of His vengeance! Would that the sacrifice of our lives might avail to put an end to such outrages and blasphemies; were it so, how gladly we should make it, for we desire, O most holy Mother, to love thee and to honor thee with all our hearts, since this is the will of God. And just because we love thee, we will do all that is in our power to make thee honored and loved by all men. In the meantime do thou, our merciful Mother, the supreme comforter of the afflicted, accept this our act of reparation which we offer thee for ourselves and for all our families, as well as for all who impiously blaspheme thee, not knowing what they say. Do thou obtain for them from Almighty God the grace of conversion, and thus render more manifest and more glorious thy kindness, thy power and thy great mercy. May they join with us in proclaiming thee blessed among women, the Immaculate Virgin and most compassionate Mother of God. Amen
Jeff Bezos looks a little too happy piloting a giant mechanical robot Add this to the growing pile of evidence the world is slowly transitioning into a sci-fi dystopia: a billionaire entrepreneur with a sideline in building space rockets has been showing off by piloting a 13-foot-tall robot. Amazon CEO and fifth richest person in the world Jeff Bezos got behind the wheel (well, dual joysticks) of the bot at the retailing giant’s annual robotics conference. He tweeted out the picture above earlier this morning saying, “I just got to pilot an awesome (and huge) robot thanks to Hankook Mirae Technology.” Other attendees videoed the event, and Bezos can be seen waving around the robot’s arms and asking: “Why do I feel so much like Sigourney Weaver?” Reports that he then told the crowd to “bow down before your new king and master, Metal Jeff” are unsubstantiated. .......This fact and a few others have led some to suggest that the Method-2 is actually an elaborate hoax. (This article from Live Science last December lays out the case.) Certainly we’ve only seen the bot move its arms and take a few shaky steps, but as this footage shows, the thing itself is very real. What’s likely is that the Method-2’s mobility is limited. You can see support chains attached to the bot’s shoulders in the video above (presumably in case it topples over), and although its arms are whizzing around incredibly quickly for their size, there’s no indication they have any strength. From what we’ve seen of the Method-2 so far, it’s basically a very impressive puppet. ......... Just think: in 50 years’ time we could be hiding in underground bunkers, sucking down our daily Soylent rations, and watching in 4K VR as a cybernetic Jeff Bezos battles Elon Musk’s evil clone in robo-suits equipped with tactical nukes. It’s quite possibly the future we deserve. http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/20/14979620/jeff-bezos-robot-method-2-mars2017-conference
With all of the worry about greater and greater collection and control of general public's personal information with a general helplessness against it....and more secretive use of developing technology.....there is now the obvious elephant in the room of the increasing number of just unethical, immoral individuals in power these days who simply can (and do) make up information and plant it wherever and with the help of the discredited means of communication. They don't even have to collect information when they are willing to make it up and lie and plant lies against their targeted individuals. And what recourse do victims have when their own top court/s are on the side of evil? IOW, just as in past totalitarian regimes lies abound today but within what is considered to be daily "normalcy" and acceptance of what is "fed" to the unsuspecting. Greater high tech development means of control would go nowhere if the extent of immorality and perversity had not grown to the degree that exists today. With the now familiar term of "fake news" comes also "warnings" in recent messages from our Lady to be alert in order to differentiate between the dragon's spewing forth of such poison and the reality that never changes. And the only means to do such is by staying close to her and her Son. Those now godless cultures who have willfully separated from that foundation are the ones, on the whole, in greatest danger to be duped and poisoned.
I watched Comey's testimony today. It was kind of scary to hear his answer to the guy who asked whether simply meeting with a foreign diplomat and having a photo taken with him could trigger an investigation. I know they have to be vigilant to keep their country safe, but you have to wonder whether all this surveillance will lead to people being investigated for visiting the wrong websites or watching the wrong videos on youtube. And if it can happen in a country like the US where there is so much protection of citizen's rights, it doesn't augur well for the rest of the world.
I'm guessing that in the near future there will be some phenomenal archaeological finds that reinforce our Faith and will give us Hope to weather dark days. "How did Jesus’ early followers live? This Israeli excavation could provide clues." https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...4bd0d4-0d6a-11e7-b2bb-417e331877d9_story.html GOD SAVE ALL HERE!!
Inside the 'billionaire bunkers' where the world's super rich will ride out the apocalypse - as sales surge 300 PER CENT since Donald Trump was elected An increasing number of people are spending millions on 'doomsday bunkers' to survive a catastrophic event Sales of underground bunkers have increased in some instances by 300 per cent since Trump's election win Some of the biggest US-based facilities are located in: South Dakota, Texas, Kansas, and New York Many of the bunkers are built to house thousands of people and to potentially withstand nuclear explosions A growing number of the world's super rich are preparing for the apocalypse by purchasing 'doomsday bunkers'. But don't expect the one per cent to slum it out in drab, concrete dwellings as they survive the end of the world - these bunkers feature some of the most lavish layouts imaginable that are designed for the more modern survivalist. 'Your father or grandfather's bunker was not very comfortable,' Robert Vicino, CEO of Vivos, told CNN. 'They were gray. They were metal, like a ship or something military. And the truth is mankind cannot survive long-term in such a Spartan, bleak environment.' (pics follow) Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-bunkers-bought-super-rich.html#ixzz4byMn1BFw
