The Mystery of Consciousness – Interview with Dr. Michael Clarage
Perhaps the greatest mystery of human experience is consciousness itself. Today, the fields of neuroscience and neurotechnology provide astounding insights into the electrical and chemical processes of the brain. Consequently, institutional science proposes with confidence that the brain alone creates conscious experience. Yet despite all that science has learned, the very source and essence of consciousness remains a puzzle. Thunderbolts colleague Dr. Michael Clarage shares with us his thoughts on the enduring mysteries of consciousness.

Discourses on an Alien Sky – To Hear the Ancient Witnesses – Thunderbolts Project
The subject of this video series is the ancient experience of towering celestial forms that are no longer present. From a single snapshot of the configuration, we can work backwards to the first appearance of these bodies out of an undifferentiated cloud or sea of dusty plasma. We can then follow the configuration’s evolution through phases that range from quasi-stability to earth shaking catastrophe. This is 4th in the series.

Biological Machines – Singularity Utopia
National Review published an article stating artificially intelligent computers would merely be machines. The author of the article doesn’t realise how biotech-synbio shows us DNA is a machine. Humans and all other biological life-forms are machines, which is why bio-engineers conduct bio-engineering. The focus is on engineering, a reconfiguration of natural mechanisms, mechanics. It is not merely poetic metaphor when Stanford University or many other reputable establishments focus on the term engineering: “The mission of Stanford’s Department of Bioengineering is to create a fusion of engineering and the life sciences that promotes scientific discovery and the development of new biomedical technologies and therapies through research and education.” Note how University…

Do Not Fear The AI
As of late, I have seen a number of articles listing some fear of AI (Artificial Intelligence). The fear is based on some concept that the AI will magically become some kind of demon or devil and go all wrong. The worst part of this, is that some key scientists and futurists are signing onto this madness. The two latest and greatest “talking heads” is Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking. Both of them basically speak from the same mindset, that AI can get beyond the control of mere humans who created them. The one consistent mentality tied to the fear is how humans will fail from some unknown and not…

Multifunctional Fibers That Communicate With The Brain – MIT News
By producing complex multifunctional fibers that could be less than the width of a hair, MIT researchers have created a system that could deliver optical signals and drugs directly into the brain, along with a simultaneous electrical readout to continuously monitor the effects of the various inputs.

Reading Robots’ Minds – MIT News
A new visualization system developed by MIT researchers, combines ceiling-mounted projectors with motion-capture technology and animation software to project a robot’s intentions in real time. (Learn more about the system:Â http://bit.ly/1thQBSQ) The researchers say the system may help speed up the development of self-driving cars, package-delivering drones, and other autonomous, route-planning vehicles.
