Brain Drain

Researchers at the University of Southern California have come up with an implant for the brain that can transfer the thoughts, memories and emotions of one person to another. Although is is promoted as being new, the same idea was proposed a few years ago but researchers who claimed that an entire lifetime can be downloaded from a brain, saved and then used by family and friends of a deceased person in order to keep them close and remembered.

Perhaps they can eventually implant this chip into a cyborg manufactured body and then the person will be “alive” indefinitely. Imagine having robot-grandma around for centuries. Maybe they can even have cloned pets with the personalities of your favorite dog with you as long as you live and beyond. In effect, you become immortal….or do you?

Human DNA is designed to live indefinitely anyway. Therefore, we are already potentially immortal. However, when memory and emotions are saved and transferred to another brain or to a cyborg, does that mean that the actual person is part of that? The answer is, no. The soul-personality moves along elsewhere. All you would have is a closed, limited rendition of the former person. It would not develop new ideas and emotions. It would not grow and progress as a human should.

Of course, scientists are stating that they can develop robots that can “feel” and think as a person. If human DNA is added to these creations, then do they have rights and individual status? Would we have a society of cloned, implanted and computer-linked beings that follow the rules and ask no questions? We sort of have that now. However, imagine a world where the population was not “natural”, but manufactured as needed.

The news that has been released about the brain info transfers is just the first revealing imprinting of a programmed public that foretells the future of mankind….at least the version of the future that is planned for us.

Would you get the chip? Would you clone your parents and have their mental chips placed in the clone? What about yourself—would you have the chip in your brain record everything you think for future reference by others?

The future of humanity is at stake. We need to use the brain and mind as they were meant to be used organically and naturally, not artificially enhanced and used. We are at a crossroads. The plans have been revealed in a sinister way. What do you think? Remember, it may be recorded!

    I wouldn’t want somebody else’s memories, issues, thoughts etc…transferred into my brain. Even if it’s from another family member. Surely, that’s not a good idea. If one already has enough rubbish going on in their lives and to add someone else’s issues seems barking mad to me. The less thoughts I have, the better I feel.

    This is so sinister. This goes right along with the holographic pop star recently unveiled in Japan. It would appear the the survival of organic life as we know it is under attack,from organic healthy food, to human life. I for one, would not want an Artificial Intelligence Unit that looks like my parents hanging around after organic life has ceased and consciousness has moved on. I agree. Let’s use our minds how they were ment to be used, & not have our memories highjacked by some mad scientists.

    There is a movie with Robin Williams, called The Final Cut, made in 2004 – “Set in a world with memory implants, Robin Williams plays a cutter, someone with the power of final edit over people’s recorded histories. His latest assignment is one that puts him in danger.” It’s all about this topic.

    Thanks for the update Stewart.

    As a concept this has been kicking around for some time. Ray Kurzweil published ‘The Age of Spiritual Machines’ in 1999–and, sadly, yes that is many technologists’ view of an afterlife is (not that Christian myth is much better)–that “immortality” amounts to downloading the brain bits into 0′s and 1′s into a digital computer, and that’s that. All this is sort under the definition of Transhumanism, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumanism, which isn’t new.

    Having spent some time in Bay Area with many transhumanists (I was interested in Futurism and the two groups tend to coalesce together), I dropped out from their scene when I realized they really bought into belief that the human being is basically the brain with some decaying meat attached to it.

    I realized some time ago that I and the whole cosmos are much vaster than my database, and your Healers Handbook and Decoding Your Life (and this site) have been instrumental to tuning into the Oversoul and God-Mind, rather than limit myself to being a brain. Thank you again.

    So does this mean that they’ve already been using this technology with the clones/cyborgs in Australia, say?

    There’s a book by Lynn Grabhorn called ‘Dear God, What’s Happening to Us’ that talks about this issue. She claimed that the dark forces in this universe have never been able to make their own beings, so they have been diligently trying to make copies of us. Of course they fail because they cannot make a soul. This book resonated with me, and continues to when I read things like this.
