Elon Musk’s Neuralink — The Dark Side
Elon Musk has recently unveiled his company’s first Neuralink device implanted in an experimental animal — a pig. To briefly describe the device for those without much technical knowledge, it is an invasive technology based on the concept of a neural lace, which is a mesh of perhaps hundreds of wires laced throughout the brain albeit with concentration of connections in certain areas. These either sample neural patterns or modify them. Needless to say, even the minor technical challenges are massive. For example, it involves brain surgery. Then we have bio-compatibility problems as typically implanted electrodes tend to cause the tissues around them to die back. Finally, actually transferring massive amounts…

New Reptoid Illuminati Plot: The Transhumanism Council
Author: Amon Twyman Foreword: Sorry to disappoint after such a blatant click-bait title, but you will find no alien lizard people seeking to rule the world here. What you will find is news of regular people who believe that society and the human condition can be improved through technology, cooperating to help each other and spread our ideas. Of course, if you’re the kind of person who believes in New World Order conspiracies then you know that I * would* say that, wouldn’t I? 😉 I am pleased to announce the launch of a new organization, the Transhumanism (H+) Council, which has formed to facilitate cooperation and good relations between…

The State of Zero State – 2014
This is a statement to clarify (to some extent) the degree to which ZS has evolved and its current state of existence. My qualification for writing this is as nominal head of ZS, in its incarnation as a Wave Group 2 organization. If you do not know what that means… well, you should find out. Originally ZS grew out of Transhumanism, to which it is still strongly tied via its Principles. However, the political and technological aspects now dominate in the form of ZS Projects. In “The Good Old Days” of 2012 it was envisaged that ZS would define its actions via semi-autonomous projects which fell under different headings and…

The Human Machine
This is a 15 minute documentary project created as part of a post graduate course in science communications at Imperial College of Science and Technology, London. Any views documented here, or techniques shown, are in no way to be considered as being endorsed by Imperial College nor indeed the creators of the video itself. My involvement with the project came about due to replying to a request in a Reddit subgroup dedicated to exploring Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation of the brain (tDCS) by three postgraduates: Aliyah, Letizia and Patrick (surnames withheld on request). They wanted to make a short documentary as part of their course and to feature such work…

TechnoProgressive Iconography – Zero State and Public Use Logos
The political arm of Zero State is defined as a Techno-Progressive political party or organization. As such, its defining characteristic is the belief in the use of science, technology and rationality applied to government in order to achieve desired social aims through evidence based policy. We would also like to ensure that elected officials are not (as is generally the case at present) scientifically illiterate. Our modern society is, after all, unique in history because of the power with which science has imbued it. However, this article does not primarily concern definitions but the logos we have decided to use, and especially the basic logo we created for the Techno-Progressive…

Just Do It – the Ethos of Zero State
What’s the difference between a dotcom billionaire and thousands of others who had the same idea at the same time, or even earlier? The answer is that the billionaire implemented the idea and the others did not. Well, that’s a bit simplistic but nevertheless contains a lot of truth. Ideas are NOT “The Big Thing”- implementing them is. Ideas are ten a penny, as are the people who come up with them. Putting them into action, putting in the work to make them real, is the rare skill. How often have you heard, or read, of someone saying “…something must be done”, or “why doesn’t somebody do something…”? Most people…

Modernizing the Education System
Author: Pratoriate Monk There has been much reported on the problems with our education system: that students in the United States are lagging behind many of their peers in other countries in mathematics, science and reading. The typical response is to look at class sizes or at student performance on a per teacher basis to try and find solutions to these issues. There has been talk of “getting rid of ‘bad’ teachers and rewarding ‘good’ teachers.” There have been efforts to alter the curriculum to “better prepare the students for the test.” None of these efforts have enjoyed much measurable success in improving the scores of America’s students. Other countries’…

Four Horsemen Documentary – Renegade Economist
The following video documentary is provided from Renegade Economist. It is 1.5 hours long and it is a must watch and learn. This is a video that should be taught in all schools world wide. Watch and Learn People. I will have my own commentary below. The only issue that I have with the video is the terrorist section. They list a small section of about 1 to 2 minutes concerning military operations and how it leads to more terrorists. That principle is false and it will always be false. The problem of Islamists and similar groups like the Tea Party in America, is mixing extreme religious views with a fear of…
