Biohack: Modafinil — What Is It Like?
Author: Dirk Bruere I often get asked about the nootropic drug Modafinil, especially online. This is my very personal view of what it’s like.

Generally very healthy, apart from high cholesterol and a few mechanical injuries from practicing martial arts for nearly 40 years. I have used Modafinil intermittently for the past 7 years or so. Second, and this is important, my mind and…

Transhumanism (abbreviated as H+ or h+): is an international and intellectual movement that aims to transform the human condition by developing and creating widely available sophisticated technologies to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities. Why I am a Transhumanist? The answer is, very simple. Transhumanists around the world mainly want to revolutionize our society, our human experience by eradicating the unnecessary suffering in the world, by eliminating aging related diseases, allowing people to live longer/indefinitely and doing so would actually benefit the world economy. I do believe there are ethical issues regarding this. You may ask, who will benefit from this? Will the poor people eventually die and the rich will…

Citizen Rights Project: One Standard World Wide
A very simple one page list of citizen rights world wide. It is a very simple project of providing one set of rules for the world to follow. The list in and of itself is not perfect but it is a solid starting point for future debates. The Wave Chronicle will have a number of articles going forward throughout the ongoing months looking to push forth this agenda. Not every project that you start is for the here and now. This is a future view in a more peaceful world, who knows maybe by the year 2030, 2050, or 2100 we can find such a world. Links: Citizen Rights Project…

The Case For The Movie Automata
Now that I have a little more time on my hands, I had the opportunity to finally watch the movie Automata. In my mind this was a fantastic Dystopian thriller, with a scaring hint of a probable future. The mentality that the Sun can send solar flares to spread radiation across the earth is a realistic danger that exists for all of us. The dreaded Kill Shot is a realistic fear that has been dodged numerous times. This is why the Wave Chronicle has supported Suspicious Observers who has done daily space weather forecasts for years. The interaction between the robotic force created to stem the tide of the radioactive wasteland…
