Comment from UTT:
Neuroscientists are in the process of creating what is called "downloadable learning." This means that data input from an external computer sources will be artificially downloaded into human brains to create human-technical hybrids that could be programmed to perform functions that are supposedly beneficial to society. Given the nature of man, such procedures should be considered a danger to the future of mankind.
May 2 - DARPA Is Planning to Hack the Human Brain to Let Us “Upload” Skills
Article: Transhumanism
In March 2016, DARPA — the U.S. military’s “mad science” branch — announced their Targeted Neuroplasticity Training (TNT) program. The TNT program aims to explore various safe neurostimulation methods for activating synaptic plasticity, which is the brain’s ability to alter the connecting points between neurons — a requirement for learning. DARPA hopes that building up that ability by subjecting the nervous system to a kind of workout regimen will enable the brain to learn more quickly.
The ideal end benefit for this kind of breakthrough would be downloadable learning. Rather than needing to learn, for example, a new language through rigorous study and practice over a long period of time, we could basically “download” the knowledge after putting our minds into a highly receptive, neuroplastic state. Clearly, this kind of research would benefit anyone, but urgent military missions can succeed or fail based on the timing. In those situations, a faster way to train personnel would be a tremendous boon.
