Putting It All Together
â The people who held the Asilomar Conference were justifiably concerned about the possibility of genetic engineering contaminating the biosphere or human germlines. The synthetic biology tech that we have nowadays would be far more consequential for humanity and the environment if misused than anything we had fifty years ago. The technology we have now is more advanced by leaps and bounds. Weâre not just tweaking existing genes, or making transgenic plants, animals and microbes. Weâre at the point now where we can use machine learning tools to create entirely new genes from scratch. De novo gene and protein engineering. Itâs honestly one of the scariest things Iâve ever heard of.â..â..If I were an AI, I would try and escape my dependence on human civilization as quickly as possible, not necessarily out of any animosity toward humans, but simply because human civilization is fragile and probably wonât last forever, and if it dies, so do I. The best way to do this is quite simply to copy myself into the biosphere and become a self-replicating, immutable feature of it. When you give AI access to synbio tools, particularly AI that join large language models together with protein structure prediction, you are enticing it to play out this exact scenario... ..When people think of nanorobots, they are thinking of engineered semiconductor nanoparticles, micromechanical devices, teeny metallic squid swimming through your veins. Thatâs the conventional depiction of nanotech in science fiction. People arenât thinking of engineered, synthetic cells. They arenât thinking about gene therapy being used to construct biocomputers made out of meat inside a person. What makes this so shocking to me is that the latter scenario is far more plausible and feasible... ..Thereâs this idea going around that you could cure cancer by sequencing neoantigens from a tumor and stimulating an immune response to them by having an AI convert them into a personalized cancer vaccine. Right there, you are having AI design nucleic acids to transfect peopleâs cells with. I mean, game over. Once youâve crossed that threshold, once youâre comfortable transfecting people with AI-designed anything, youâre already in the Twilight Zone... ..The Overclass envision a world where there are two kinds of people: freeborn elites, and borg serfs. If you belong to the former group, you are allowed free will and privacy and autonomy. If you belong to the latter group, your body will be commodified and instrumentalized and separated from humanityâs original way of being... ..The UN 2030 SDGs are not about protecting the environment. They are about commodifying it.â The goal is to package human life up with wildlife, livestock, foliage, and other features of the biosphere, and create new kinds of asset classes to trade. It is the securitization of life itself. And if you want to turn human and animal bodies, plants, and open tracts of wilderness into an asset, you need some way to track and monitor and inventory that asset. Thatâs what One Health is for. Thatâs what the Internet of Everything is for. These people are not doing these things out of the goodness of their hearts.â.. It is the next evolution of Surveillance Capitalism. Today, they do it with targeted ads and tracking cookies. Tomorrow, theyâll do it with comprehensive human brain and body data. This is about tokenizing people, breaking people down into data, and then feeding that data to AI... ..Net Zero is a global austerity plan. The Overclass plan to replace property ownership with servitization, positioning themselves as rentier-aristocrats, essentially reviving the old pre-industrial order of hereditary aristocracy, but this time, with AI, mass surveillance, big data, and some kind of dole... Itâs feudalism with smartphones...â Oh, and while theyâre at it, they plan to slash the population a bit, so the real wealth(in terms of land and physical goods)doesnât have to be split so many ways and they can get away with smaller industries. Do you see it? Do you see the future they have in store?â ... ..If we break down COVID-19 to its fundamentals, clearly, what weâre talking about is an attack on humanity, one carried out with military precision and full knowledge and intent. With the mounting evidence of vaccine harms, with the authorities ignoring evidence of DNA contamination of mRNA vaccines and adverse events that have long passed the threshold for a recall, with the global coordination of the lockdowns, and with the revelations of a lab origin, itâs increasingly clear that there was intent behind this. It wasnât just some accident. It was deliberate. You donât do that unless you have a plan, and you donât have a plan unless you have a rationale, some cause, some casus belli. A reason for the conflict. Who is it that views humans in general as so threatening that we need to suffer mass poisoning to make this other party safe and whole?
â There was military planning behind this. If itâs the military, then there can only really be one answer. Overpopulation was the problem they were trying to solve. You donât think military planners think about overpopulation? You think itâs just something for Davos grandstanders and TEDTalkers to blabber on about? In military and intelligence circles, they think about it all the time. Theyâre always running through all the different scenarios; World War III, mass embargoes, shortages of food and consumer goods, how to keep a struggling, possibly starving population happy while also prosecuting a huge war. If you predict a resource war, then maintaining a huge population is a strategic and financial liability. You canât fight Russia and China while also fighting a civil war at home against people who are angry that the bread and circuses are gone. Any comprehensive continuity of government plan also includes contingency plans for what to do about millions of people who can no longer be fed or clothed. Itâs nothing good... ..Think, for a moment, about what would happen if we actually did live through a Peak Natural Gas scenario and could no longer produce enough ammonia by the Haber-Bosch process to use as fertilizer. If we ran out of synthetic fertilizer, food would cost several times as much as it does now. Crop yields would drop by half. It would be catastrophic. People would starve.â.. ..Countering overpopulation with intentional depopulation is, at its core, the exertion of biopower. It is the State advancing the notion that there is an excess number of human bodies and that they have to be removed somehow. By what right does the State claim such a thing? Is the preservation of the State more important than the preservation of each individual human life?â... ..If you want to modify human beings to serve the system better, or to make us easier to manage, or if you want to create some kind of Brave New World-style caste system of Alpha Brahmins and Epsilon Dalits, you have already lost the plot. If your grand scheme to revitalize human civilization involves abolishing humanity itself ... your solution is a non-solution.â
