	let's talk a little bit about a weird new computer that is running artificial intelligence on a captive human brain cells I saw this, and it immediately made me think of this old science fiction movie, The Brain That Would Not Die.
	You've lost the urge to experiment.
	I wish I'd lost the urge to experiment.
	Unfortunately, they...
	Every time you touch me, I go out of my mind.
	A car accident.
	It must have hit a truck before they put the Mansfield bar on it.
	Let me die.
	Let me die.
	The brain that would not die.
	We live in a science fiction movie.
	...by experimental science, by a man whose abnormal passions inspired him to try the impossible.
	I brought her back.
	She'll live and I'll get her another body.
	What's locked behind that door?
	Horror.
	No normal mind can imagine.
	Something even more terrible than you.
	Horror has its ultimate.
	And I'm that.
	Behind that door is the sum total of Dr. Cortner's mistakes.
	Yes, that's right.
	Unfortunately, they have not gotten, they're not tired of experimentation, and there is a horror behind that door that is something that no normal mind would imagine.
	An Australian startup, Cortical Labs, has launched what it is calling the world's first code-deployable biological computer, human brain cells.
	And presumably, this is not being sourced from Alexandria Occasional Cortex.
	They need these things working all the time.
	A shoebox-sized device, dubbed a CL1. I hate to think what CL2 is going to be.
	A notable departure that uses human brain cells to run fluid neural networks.
	So now they're going to do neural networks using real neurons.
	In 2022, Cortical Labs made a big splash after teaching human brain cells in a Petri dish how to play the video game Pong.
	Which, by the way, was the thing that Musk was doing, wasn't he?
	With BC, I think.
	Didn't he have somebody playing Pong or something?
	You know, thinking Pong.
	The CO1, however, is a fundamentally different approach.
	As New Atlas reports, it makes use of hundreds of thousands of tiny neurons, roughly the size of an ant brain each, which are cultivated inside a nutrient-rich solution and spread out across a silicon chip.
	There you go.
	Okay, a lot of little ant brains in there.
	I guess this is a hive mentality.
	Through a combination of hard silicon and soft tissue is what the company says.
	Hard silicon and soft tissue.
	They claim the owners can, quote, deploy code directly to the real neurons to solve today's most difficult challenges.
	A simple way to describe it would be like a body in a box or, you know, a head on the desk like that movie, you know.
	But it has filtration for waves.
	It has pumps to keep everything circulating.
	Gas, mixing, and of course, temperature control.
	There are so many different options.
	It could be used for disease modeling or drug testing.
	There we go.
	Yeah, if we can get some of that big pharma money, we're in, like Flynn, right?
	So maybe they could redeem this abomination, like Curtis Chang said.
	Yeah, we can redeem abortions by using them in vaccines.
	That's how twisted these people are.
	Just one thing stacked on top of another.
	There's so much nuance when it comes to the brain, they said.
	But you can actually see that nuance when you test it with these tools.
	So he says, I hope we're going to be able to replace significant areas of animal testing with this.
	For now, the company is selling the device as a way to train biological AI. That's what we need.
	Neural networks that rely on actual neurons.
	In other words, the neurons can be taught using a silicon chip.
	The only thing that has generalized intelligence, he said, are biological brains.
	What humans, mice, cats, birds can do that AI can't is to infer from very small amounts of data and then make complex decisions.
	Yeah, you see, the fool has said in his heart there is no God.
	Look at these people constantly trying to copy and imitate and duplicate what God has done.
	It's amazing.
	The approach could have some key advantages.
	For instance, the neurons only use a few watts of power compared to the infamously power-hungry AI chips that require orders of magnitude more than that.
	Yeah, think about that.
	Think about how much we can do with our brains.
	Not requiring the amount of power that could light up a city.
	He says, I know where it's coming from because it's clear that these human neuronal networks learn remarkably fast, said a Queensland biologist.
	At this stage, I would reserve my judgment because learning Pong is one thing.
	But making complex decisions is another.
	The race to apply emerging neurotechnologies such as brain-computer interfaces.
	Who is it that's into that heavily?
	Oh, it's Elon Musk and Neuralink, the BCIs.
	And he's not the only one doing it.
	You know, everybody talks about Elon Musk.
	Microsoft's got a program that all these tech companies are into BCI. Why?
	A big part of it is the money that is coming out of the government.
	In 2013, Obama started the BRAIN program, and it's an acronym, but, you know, massive funding.
	It's a couple hundred million dollars.
	And DARPA's got its own neuroweapons program as well.
	There's a lot of money there.
	This new battlefield in an era of neuroweapons can be broadly defined as technologies and systems that could either enhance or damage a warfighter.
	Or a target's cognitive and or physical abilities or otherwise attack people or critical societal infrastructures.
	And it has begun.
	It's been going on for some years.
	And many countries have these types of programs.
	And so it's a race.
	It's an arms race.
	To hack into your brain and your nervous system.
	Brain-to-brain connections or brain-to-machine.
	While bringing new dimension to both hard and soft power struggles of the future.
	So the military-industrial complex has been doing this for decades, as they point out.
	Neuroscience's very origins lie in war, just as the American neurology science was born out of the Civil War, looking at nerve damage and other things like that, I guess with the amputations.
	The roots of neuroscience are embedded in World War II, like most of these abominations that we have.
	Project Bluebird and artichoke.
	We're 1950s-era projects that worked to determine whether people could be involuntarily made to carry out assassinations through hypnosis.
	The especially infamous MKUltra, where human mind-control experiments were carried out in a variety of institutions in the 50s and 60s.
	And so, you know, we look at these things, and as I've said, from the very inception...
	DARPA and many of these agencies were always focused on mind control and for, as you see, nefarious acts.
	Let's kill people.
	Let's control people so we can use them to kill other people.
	Always.
	About the violence and stuff.
	And that's why I say that DARPA is so darkly demonic and occultic.
	And so now you've got the Brain Initiative.
	You've got DARPA's next-generation non-surgical neurotechnology, where they don't have to open up your brain and stick in a probe like Musk is doing.
	They call that N-cubed, because of three N's there.
	The military is intensely interested in emerging neurotechnologies, and they have intense funding for it.
	A lot of it rolling through DARPA. A 2023 write-up of DARPA's neurotechnology efforts.
	They've initiated at least 40 neurotechnology-related programs over the past 24 years.
	From the Interface, a publication describes the current state of affairs at DARPA funding as effectively driving the brain-computer interface research agenda.
	That's exactly what Eisenhower said was going to happen with the military-industrial complex.
	They would drive the agenda for research, swamp it, and use it for dark things.
	In more recent years, DARPA-funded scientists have created the world's most dexterous bionic arm with bidirectional controls.
	They have used brain-computer interface to accelerate memory formation and recall.
	That's like total recall, right?
	Have you even transferred a memory from one rat to another where the rat receiving the memory almost instantaneously learned to perform a task that typically took weeks of training to learn?
	Think about that.
	And they've also, so you can transfer memories.
	They said DARPA was bragging about how they were going to do it to help people with PTSD. I said, that's not why they're doing that.
	You know, they're not creating these armed robots to help little ladies walk across the street.
	They're not doing memory altering and putting in different memories that you didn't have.
	They're not doing that to help people with PTSD either.
	Brain program that stood for Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies.
	That was back in 2013. That was...
	Initially, I think about $200 million.
	It built on the Human Genome Project, which is where Francis Collins worked before he did his Frankenstein science at the NIH. But this neuroscience is also being led by the NIH. And I believe that's one of the reasons why they put Francis Collins there.
	And also by DARPA. And so, as they talk about the different things that they have been doing, It can have you feel something that is remote.
	Technologies that are able to extract information from the nervous system quickly enough to control complex machines and to do it wirelessly.
	This is the kind of stuff that they're working on.
	Rice University neuroengineers are leading an ambitious DARPA-funded project to develop a non-surgical device capable of both decoding neural activity in one person's visual cortex.
	And recreating it in another one in less than 1 20th of a second.
	So in the early instantiation of DARPA and NSA and stuff, they were using the occult to try to do remote viewing.
	With this, what they would do is they would use essentially hardware to let you to tap into the visual cortex of what one person is seeing and let the other person see it.
	They've hacked into this, and you look at this, it's like what the Bible says, as in the days of Noah.
	We are modifying humans in really crazy ways.
	So the incubed funds are also developing what they call brainstorms, an injectable Brain-computer interface, which one day could, in tandem with a helmet, be used by someone to direct or to control vehicles, robots, and other instruments with their thoughts.
	And if you go back and look at, you know, some people point out that Elon Musk is all about military-industrial complex, and of course he is.
	You know, you look at the things he's involved in, you know, satellite communications, rockets, and stuff like that.
	But it's also some of the early, you know, brain-computer interface.
	One of the first DARPA projects was self-driving vehicles.
	So you start to put all these different technologies together, and that's what you wind up with is what we have here.
	Something to help warfighters interact with a command military infrastructure using their thoughts without the need for an invasive Neuralink-style implant.
	So his stuff is not necessarily, by far, The most advanced stuff.
	They don't call it Star Wars.
	They call it Small Wars.
	Small Wars.
	Augmented cognition.
	Technology is capable of extending by an order of magnitude the information management capacity of a warfighter.
	And the U.S. is not the only one doing this.
	The EU's got the Human Brain Project, the China Brain Project, Japan's Brain Minds Initiative.
	And Canada has Brain Canada.
	A 2024 RAND report speculates that if BCI technologies, brain-computer interfaces, are hacked or compromised, a malicious adversary could potentially inject fear, confusion, or anger into a BCI commander's brain and cause them to make decisions that result in serious harm.
	Neural implants could control an individual's mental functions, perhaps to manipulate memories, emotions, or even to torture the wearer.
	And stop and think about this, even though they're doing this and saying, we're going to do this with our soldiers who submit to this.
	If they're going to be using nanotechnology, and if they're going to be able to do things wirelessly, then they can use this for the kind of mass mind control that they would like to.
	And of course, they have massive tools of mind control, don't they, already?
	Through social media, through artificial intelligence.
	We can turn those things off.
	It may be more difficult to do this as transhumanism moves forward.
	But this is all about transhumanism.
	And if you understand where the technocrats want to go, it is an essential part of the technocracy, this transhumanist goal.
	Again, the idea that they're going to become like gods and live forever.
	And the fact that they are going to control other people.
	Such efforts towards transhumanism are being pushed from the top with little room for meaningful public debate.
	These efforts are also intertwined with ongoing pushes towards stakeholder capitalism, of course, the World Economic Forum, and efforts to hand decision-making processes and common infrastructure to an unaccountable private sector through public-private partnership.
	That I believe is what the Trump administration is all about.
	Both sovereignty and humanity are under attack, both on and off the battlefield.
	Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
	I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
	You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
	And I could...
	If only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.
	But he told me to get lost.
	Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at thedavidknightshow.com.
	And David is giving a 10% discount to listeners from now until 2025. At that price, you should be able to buy me several hundred.
	Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
	I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.
