"entertainment industry", and the cybernetics of the

attained by practical propellantless propulsion systems" out
of their (or somebody's) heads!
Or has that particular three-way merger already occurred?

THE HEDONISTIC IMPERATIVE
A B S T R A C T
This manifesto outlines a biological strategy
to eradicate suffering in all sentient life.
The Post-Darwinian agenda is ambitious,
implausible, but technically feasible. It is
defended here on ethical utilitarian grounds.
Nanotechnology and genetic-engineering allow
us to discard the legacy-wetware of our
evolutionary past. We can rewrite the
vertebrate genome, redesign the global
ecosystem, and abolish suffering throughout
the living world.

which recently passed thru my mindgland, to wit:
On the weekend of April 14-16, 2000, Professor Michio Kaku,
stated in part:
"... Von Neumann Probes are self-replicating machines.
They land on a moon, create a factory that creates thousands of
copies of themselves that shoot out to other moons, land on the moon,
create thousands of copies of them and shoot out again. OK. Each time
they land on a moon they leave an alarm clock waiting for a 'Type Zero'
civilization to attain 'Type One' status, which would be interesting
for a 'Type Three' civilization. ..."

I head the Brain Builder Group at STARLAB, a
research lab in Brussels, Belgium, Europe. The
original aim of our "CAM-Brain Project", as stated
at its beginning in 1993, was to build an artificial
brain with a billion artificial neurons, by the year
2001, using evolved cellular automata (CA) based
neural circuit modules. In reality, 7 years later, this
number will be maximum 75 million neurons and
64,000 modules. These CA based neural network
modules grow and evolve at electronic speeds
inside special FPGA based hardware called a
CAM-Brain Machine (CBM), which can update CA
cells at a rate of 130 Billion a second, and can
evolve a neural net module in about 1 second. This
speed should make brain building practical. Tens of
thousands and more of these evolved modules can
be assembled into humanly defined artificial brain
architecures. The evolved CA based circuit modules
are downloaded into a large RAM space and
updated by the CBM fast enough for real time
control of a kitten robot called "Robokitty".

"The new Pandora's boxes of genetics, nanotechnology, and

Ideas can't be put back in a box; unlike uranium or plutonium,

"Why the future doesn't need us.
Our most powerful 21st-century
technologies - robotics, genetic

threatening to make humans an
endangered species."
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.04/joy.html
"This is the first moment in the history of our planet
when any species, by its own voluntary actions, has become
a danger to itself - as well as to vast numbers of others.
"It might be a familiar progression, transpiring on many
worlds - a planet, newly formed, placidly revolves around
its star; life slowly forms; a kaleidoscopic procession of
creatures evolves; intelligence emerges which, at least up
to a point, confers enormous survival value; and then
technology is invented. It dawns on them that there are such
things as laws of Nature, that these laws can be revealed by
experiment, and that knowledge of these laws can be made both
to save and to take lives, both on unprecedented scales.
Science, they recognize, grants immense powers. In a flash,
they create world-altering contrivances. Some planetary
civilizations see their way through, place limits on what may
and what must not be done, and safely pass through the time
of perils. Others, not so lucky or so prudent, perish."

Someone poses a question: "Do you think neurochips must
be activated by a preceding biological substrate or could
they be activated directly by mind?"
Sounds kind of like a nouveau zen koan; who's minding

substrate or the pecking, cackling mind? If mind is a
gestalt of electrical activity cleverly networked
within a stable yet dynamic medium, then...???
How does a quadrapalegic with a neural-implant move
a cursor across a screen with mind alone?

Do cyborgs live among us?
Scientists blur the boundaries between
'wetware' -- the living brain -- and
computer hardware
by Jay Bookman
Excerpts:
[John Chapin, a neurobiologist at MCP Hahnemann
University in Philadelphia] and his team wired the
brains of lab rats directly to a computer, giving
the animals an ability unknown to human beings...
Steve Mann, a pioneer in wearable computing and a
professor of electrical engineering at the
University of Toronto, has been building and using
his own wearable computers since he was a high school
student in Canada. He calls himself a cyborg...
In pursuit of artificial intelligence, scientists are
building artificial neural networks and teaching them
to operate as real neural networks do in the human brain...
Bill Ditto, a Georgia Tech researcher in neurosilicon
computing, leads a team that has built a simple adding
machine out of the neurons of a leech. In five years,
he predicts, his team will have built a much more
complex machine out of living rat neurons grown on a
sheet of silicon. Such a computer might be taught to
think as living brains do... [www.nationalpost.com/]

We are tools of her probings and if, indeed, we suffer and

Biomolecules and Nanotechnology
Evolution has forced innovative solutions to biomolecular
problems. Some may inform the growing field of nanotechnology
David S. Goodsell
Abstract:
Engineers attempting to build atomic-scale machines often
start with the methods and materials for building full-scale
machines and then miniaturize them. Our author, however,
reminds readers that nature solved the problem of small
machines three billion years ago, with the emergence of
first cells and biomolecules. The innovative solutions
wrought by evolution, says the author, may well serve as
a guide in the construction of artifical nano-machines.

NYU chemist develops molecule with switchable chirality
http://www.eurekalert.org/releases/nyu-ncd052200.html
A New York University team led by chemist James W. Canary
has developed a molecule with switchable chirality*.
[...] Canary said, "We know chirality is tremendously
significant in biology, and there are certain areas of
material science where it has played a role -- liquid
crystal displays and non-linear optics, for example.
Discoveries like this one may provide new applications
for chiral materials applications."
*[FOOTNOTE: Nearly all biomolecules are chiral compounds.
That is, they exist in two forms (enantiomers) which are
non-superimposable mirror images of each other. While
otherwise identical, enantiomers typically have key
differences. For example, they may rotate the plane of
polarized light in opposite directions.]

Astronaut Reveals NASA Mind Control Program Involving Children
http://www.sightings.com/general2/astro.htm
LOS ANGELES -- Astronaut Gordon Cooper, one of the
original seven Mercury astronauts, has confirmed the
existence of a mind control program administered by
NASA in the 1950's and 1960's involving gifted
American schoolchildren...
In the Mid-70s, Dr. Andrijah Puharich ran a complex in Ossining called
the Turkey Farm. In the summer of 1975, Puharich assembled around twenty
children from the ages of nine to late teens, called "Gellerlings", or
"Space Kids". Puharich trained their psychic abilities, and claimed that
they received messages from aliens. One teen claimed that they practiced
remote viewing, and some of their assignments included political targets
like the Kremlin and the White House. [Levy, pg 165-7] Puharich has
claimed that the Space Kids are able to materialize objects like trees,
and that six of them arrived at his ranch via teleportation. [Gardener,
pg 287] It was also during this time that Puharich did experiments on the
effects of ELF radiation on the central nervous system.
Andrijah Puharich died in 1995. See Terry Milner's series "Ratting out
Puharich" for a more complete account, and for details on Puharich's
possible links to biological experiments...

"... About all I can tell you is that we
know -- from both the prophecies and our
remote viewing technology -- a significant
amount of information about this race.
"For example, we know that it hails from a
galaxy that our Hubble telescope has examined
as thoroughly as possible and we've charted it
as extensively as possible. We know that it is
2.6 million light years away and that the
species is a synthetic race -- a mixture of
genetic creation and technology. It possesses a
hive mentality, but individual initiative is
still appreciated as long as it is aligned with
the explicit objectives of its leaders.
"Because it is a synthetic race, it can be
produced in a controlled environment and its
population can be increased or decreased
depending on the whims of its leaders..."

If the density of the universe exceeds a certain threshold known as
the critical density, this gravitational attraction is strong enough
to stop and later reverse the expansion of the universe, causing it
eventually to recollapse in what is known as the "Big Crunch."
/.../
For quite some time it has been known
that the mean density of our universe
agrees with the critical density to
within better than a factor of ten.
Even with such large margin of error
this agreement is remarkable.
Establishing initial conditions so
that the mean density remains close
to the critical density for more than
a fleeting moment is much like trying
to balance a pencil on its point.
A universe initially with slightly
subcritical density rapidly becomes
increasingly subcritical and soon
virtually indistinguishable from
an empty universe. Similarly, an ever
so slightly supercritical universe
rapidly collapses into a Big Crunch,
never reaching the old age of our
universe---somewhere around twelve
billion years. To obtain a universe
like ours seems to require fine
tuning of the initial density to
agree with the critical density to
an accuracy around one part in 10^60!

Verily... A Ten with Sixty Zeros "chance" for
the initial density to "agree" with the critical
density, to inflate a life-nurturing universe
versus an empty universe, seems to suggest a
specific fine-tuning of the original conditions...
(a 1 in 10 to the power of 60 chance): Eternity
has nothing but Time to impliment such myriad
varieties. On the other hand, perhaps an advanced
technology from a previous successful universe
has found a way to perform these precise calculations
for fine tuning many universes for scientific
study and maybe even entertainment or motives
entirely incomprehensible to us clever primates?
Will we do likewise?

...infinity factory: dr. mario pazzaglini (realaudio)
by Richard Metzger - February 13, 2001
http://www.disinfo.com/pages/multimedia/id784/pg1/
Richard Metzger interviews the late
Dr. Mario Pazzaglini, the author of
Symbolic Messages: An Introduction
to a Study of Alien Writing.
Dr. Pazzaglini was investigating
the possibility of Alien writing by
studying hundreds of artifacts and
interviewing individuals who claimed
to have been contacted by alien
intelligences. He presents a very
balanced, rational, and informed
view of the escalating reports of
written communication alleged to
have originated from non-human
sources...

Saucer Smear BOOK REVIEWS AND SUCH:
http://www.martiansgohome.com/smear/v45/ss980110.htm
In Erich Aggen's November 1997 issue of his monthly
zine "C-Com", he comments on several alleged
extraterrestrial alphabets. We feel that he errs in
believing in the discredited George Adamski case;
and even the complex UMMO case, which he also
mentions, has recently taken a nosedive, with the
confession of one of the principal particiants...
Nevertheless, "alien alphabets" constitute a
fascinating UFO-related subject, and we were
therefore pleased when, a few days after
receiving Aggen's zine, we received a 90-page
softcover book on the same subject, written by
one Mario Pazzaglini Ph.D. The title is
"Symbolic Messages - An Introduction to a Study
of 'Alien' Writing".
Pazzaglini does not list his qualifications, but
from the highly intellectual tone of this self-
published book (1991), we can only assume that his
scholarship is genuine. What really impressed us is
that this is an objective attempt to make some
sense out of the many, many types of messages that
have come to us through "automatic writing" and
other such sources. Pazzaglini emphasizes the
difficulty and complexity of this study.
Says the author: "Our... assumption is that the
world we perceive is a mentally constructed world
that is clearly not the same world that 'really'
exists out there." Further on, he cautions: "Many
scripts are blatantly mundane in their origin.
Best examples (of this) are perhaps scripts that
contain exactly the same letters and number of
letters as our own alphabet. It would be extremely
unlikely that another race of beings developing
totally separately from us would produce exactly
the same symbol and sound repetoire.. although
nothing is impossible..." At the very end of the
text he states, profoundly: "Are we talking to
ourselves or is someone else trying to tell us
something. Who knows?"
As usual, Space limits our ability to do justice
to this unique contribution to UFO literature.
The book is presumably available from the author,
at: 523 Capitol Trail, Newark, Delaware 19711.
This is great "4-D" stuff, and certainly worth a
few bucks.
We should add that, in addition to the 90 pages
of text, Pazzaglini includes about 80 pages of
various terrestrial alphabets, as well as unknown
writings of various sorts. Our favorite in the
latter category is Jesse Marcel Jr.'s recollection
of the "symbols" he saw on the "I" beam of the
Roswell, N.M. crashed saucer. He notes that all of
these characters were in violet. Looking at this
famed series of symbols, they still look like
stylized flowers to us. Hard-core Roswell fans will
know just what we mean by this! --Saucer Smear

Engineering and Consciousness
http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/
The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR)
program was established at Princeton University in
1979 by Robert G. Jahn, then Dean of the School of
Engineering and Applied Science, to pursue rigorous
scientific study of the interaction of human
consciousness with sensitive physical devices,
systems, and processes common to contemporary
engineering practice. Since that time, an
interdisciplinary staff of engineers, physicists,
psychologists, and humanists has been conducting a
comprehensive agenda of experiments and developing
complementary theoretical models to enable better
understanding of the role of consciousness in the
establishment of physical reality.

Interview with John Mack
Psychiatrist, Harvard University
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/aliens/johnmack.html
NOVA: Let's talk about your own personal evolution
from perhaps skepticism to belief ...
MACK: When I first encountered this phenomenon, or
particularly even before I had actually seen the
people themselves, I had very little place in my mind
to take this seriously. I, like most of us, were
raised to believe that if we were going to discover
other intelligence, we'd do it through radio waves
or through signals or something of that kind.
The idea that we could be reached by some other kind
of being, creature, intelligence that could actually
enter our world and have physical effects as well as
emotional effects, was simply not part of the world
view that I had been raised in. So that I came very
reluctantly to the conclusion that this was a true
mystery...

Ontologically speaking, the Nanomorphic SimUjahedin

"para-intrapolative" optic recourses to conceptualize
