At the latest annual World Economic Forum gathering in Davos, Switzerland, attendees saw a presentation of brain-wave monitoring technology which is said to allow employers to observe how hard employees are working. It can also be used to determine if workers are distracted, and even if they have feelings of attraction to one another.
“You can not only tell whether a person is paying attention or their mind is wandering, but you can discriminate between the kinds of things they are paying attention to,” the presenter said, as reported by Breitbart. “Whether they’re doing something like central tasks, like programming, peripheral tasks like writing documentation, or unrelated tasks like surfing social media or online browsing.”
He added that, “When you combine brain-wave activity together with other forms of software and surveillance technology, the power becomes quite precise.”
A brief video that was part of the presentation displayed a concept for the workplace of the future. In the future, an employee worries that her boss will detect “amorous feelings” she has for a co-worker, but is then relieved when she instead gets a bonus after “brain metrics” display her productivity.
Next, the video showed the government issuing a subpoena for employees’ brain-wave data in order to unearth co-conspirators in a wire-fraud plot taking place within the office.
“You discover they are looking for synchronized brain activity between your coworker and the people he has been working with. While you know you’re innocent of any crime, you’ve been secretly working with him on a new start-up venture. Shaking, you remove your earbuds,” the video narrated.
In addition, the presentation displayed various other uses of the technology, such as waking people up if they begin to fall asleep at work by means of an MIT-made haptic scarf that gives employees “a little buzz.”
According to the presenter, the point of the display was to demonstrate the “positive use cases” of brain-monitoring technology.
“What I don’t want the reaction to be is, let’s ban this,” he said.
Tools allowing interaction between the human brain and technology are becoming more advanced.
For example, a company that specializes in implanting neural computer interfaces into the human brain has claimed that a patient who suffers from a nervous system disease that prevents his movement successfully used their technology to publish on social media just by thinking it.
The patient, Philip O’Keefe, a 62-year-old man from Australia, has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which causes paralysis. But technology firm Synchron says he can now communicate without the need of any muscle activity.
The company asserts the tweets are created wirelessly from the man’s brain. He had a brain computer interface (BCI) called “Stentrode” installed, which was “designed to enable patients to wirelessly control digital devices through thought,” and was inserted via the jugular vein to avoid drilling into the skull.
TNA contributor Alex Newman has extensively covered the transhumanist movement. From Elon Musk’s “neuralink” that directly connects the brain to computers (and is already working on animals), to Mark Zuckerberg’s so-called Metaverse, to the installation of electrodes in the brain, to genetically engineered viruses to activate certain areas of the brain — the research on merging humans with machines has been going on for decades and raises major questions for the future of humanity.
As Newman reported in his article “‘Great Reset’ Transhumanism: Merging Man & Machine,” transhumanism is being promoted by the globalist establishment:
The push for the “Great Reset” is hardly the first time the elites have peddled the trans-humanist agenda. At the 2018 “World Government Summit” in the United Arab Emirates, top globalists and “world leaders” gathered to push, among other key themes, the normalization and glorification of “cyborgs.” Indeed, the confab, which brings together top leaders of government and business, offered a prominent role to a self-proclaimed “cyborg” named Neil Harbisson, who argued that governments must facilitate the transition to at least some people becoming “part-technology, part-human.”
“I have an antenna that is implanted inside my head, which allows me to extend my perception of reality beyond the visual spectrum,” said Harbisson, co-founder of the Cyborg Society and the Transpecies Society which fight for people who “identify” as non-human. “I can sense infrared and ultraviolet, and I also have an internet connection in my head that allows me to receive colors from other parts of the world, or connect to satellites so I can send colors from space.”
Tying into the transhumanist movement and the globalists’ quest for control over the human body and mind is the push to make the “metaverse” mainstream.
The metaverse refers to the entirety of digital worlds that serve as alternatives to the real world. It encompasses everything from online role-playing games to social media. Proponents of the metaverse envision the day when all of these, and the internet as a whole, will be joined together into a single metaverse supplemented by tools like digital currencies and made immersive through virtual reality (VR).
The metaverse is crucial in the globalists’ plan. What better way to keep the people docile while the globalist overlords reduce them to a state of serfdom than with an enticing virtual world of bright, shiny images? Remember, the World Economic Forum has said that, in their vision, you will “own nothing and you’ll be happy.” The metaverse is how they keep us happy while owning nothing, because we will have the illusion of owning amazing things in the simulation.
Being wary of these new technologies does not make one a Luddite. Rather, one can appreciate the importance of technological progress while understanding that emerging technologies should work for — not against — mankind.
