Invisible power of the subconscious

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

Invisible power of the subconsciousAnna LeMind – There is an invisible force that rules the human will. This force is easily controlled and this is dangerous because it may be controlled not only by the man who owns it but by everyone else. It is commonly believed that the human is a being with free will. But is it really like that?

Experiments on people in hypnotic trance have shown that there is a mechanism which accepts all the given commands and then applies them to a person showing its ultimate authority on him. Continue reading →

Wired: Artificial Intelligence’s Faulty Foundations?

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

cyber systemsJoseph P Farrell – There is no doubt the world is moving through a “digital age paradigm shift”, and the next step is the much-vaunted artificial intelligence. The signs are all around us: Mr. Globaloney of finance crapitalism (as we like to call it here) has for decades been executing commodities, securities, and equities trades with computer algorithms, and now wants to role out a cashless world with digital “currencies”, linking them to social credit systems and other draconian measures, like “vaccine passports”.

The result will  of course be a one-way mirror behind which Mr. Globaloney hides his own corruption. Additionally, we’ve seen article after article of a “transhumanist” stripe of how Mr. Globaloney wants to merge man and machine. Just last week I blogged about the US Army’s new “virtual reality” headset to enable soldiers to see better and to make tactical decisions better. Continue reading →

dataAllen Zhong – Georgia election data indicates 17,650 votes were switched from President Donald Trump to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, data scientists testified on Wednesday during a state Senate hearing.

A team led by Lynda McLaughlin, along with data scientists Justin Mealey and Dave Lobue, presented the results before the Georgia Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Elections.

Mealey worked as an electronic warfare technician in the U.S. Navy for nine and a half years and was a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) contractor as a data analyst and programmer for the National Counterterrorism Center. He currently works for one of the “Big Four” accounting firms as a programmer.

Lobue is a data scientist with over a decade of experience in a number of industries. Continue reading →

Of Ancient Epics And Tesla Roadsters: A Secret Payload On That Tesla

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

dataJoseph P Farrell – A few days ago I blogged about Elon Musk’s launch of a Tesla space roadster, and you’ll recall that I wasn’t buying the story that this was just a “stunt” or that there wasn’t the possibility of a “secret payload.” Well, it seems others weren’t buying that story either, and Mr. G.D. spotted this article about what that secret payload may have been:

SpaceX Hid a Second, Secret Payload Aboard Falcon Heavy, And It Sounds Amazing

The essence of this story is that the hidden payload was a vast new data storage technology:

Stashed inside the midnight-cherry Roadster was a mysterious, small object designed to last for millions (perhaps billions) of years – even in extreme environments like space, or on the distant surfaces of far-flung planetary bodies.

Called an Arch (pronounced ‘Ark’), this tiny storage device is built for long-term data archiving, holding libraries of information encoded on a small disc of quartz crystal, not much larger than a coin.
…
The Arch looks like a shrunk-down DVD or Blu-ray, but its potential for data storage goes way beyond any optical discs you have in your home. Continue reading →

Should Facebook, Google and Twitter Be Public Utilities?

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

bitcoinCharles Hugh Smith – My longtime friend GFB recently suggested I revisit my position on RussiaGate, the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 US election.

I have been dismissive of the investigation because the idea that a pinprick of Facebook advertising ($100,000) could influence the sprawling ocean of public opinion struck me as preposterous.

But GFB suggested I look a bit deeper and consider the consequences of the Russian interference, however modest it might have been; and I have taken his sage advice and reconsidered.

I’ve reached the conclusion that Facebook, Google and Twitter should be operated as public utilities, not as for-profit corporations beholden solely to their shareholders and managers.

Here is my thinking: Continue reading →
