DARPA Is Planning to Hack the Human Brain to Let Us “Upload” Skills
Futurism ^ | May 2, 2017 | Karla Lant

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.

Remember that scene in THX1138? Where THX tells the kid “Combined primary economics was a bottle about THIS big.”

This sounds pretty close.

The thing I wonder about is if they can download skills, can they also download data, say an alternative history? It may start out “The Matrix,” but could end up like “Total Recall.”

The brain is not computer memory. Information is stored in the brain in a way that is completely different from that of a computer. For starters, the brain is holistic. The brain “records” things imperfectly.

You can’t upload a mind, or download the internet into a brain. This won’t stop them from trying. What the f*ck. Will people in the 22nd century each have an IP address for their brain? Hi, I’m 323.339.101.453, what’s yours?

This would be fun for engaged couples... you have to TRUST that the 5 skills your fiance chose to be planted in you are ones you’ll enjoy.

You could wake up a plumber, or a porn star.

It is their transhumanism.

The endgame is to have the elites control the total brain of every single person outside their coven (bloodline)—They will program all our desires, thoughts, “wisdom”, etc......totally controlled by the psychopathic sodomite elites who worship the He/She Goat gods, and want orgies with your little boys and girls and baby blood sacrifices for eternal youth, and for their Hollywood Rites/parties with the little boy orgies-—like Milo witnesses.

(After all, that desire to sodomize others is a Natural Right from God (and a “virtue”—isn’t it?)

The evil sodomites have had control over programming your children for 60 years so they could actually make your children totally removed from Reality, Truth (God) and Natural Law-—so irrational, they now “think” that males can actually become female. It is for emasculation of all males so that servitude will be “natural” and normal—as being sodomized now.

They appear to be testing on cnn and msnbc. It is also clear Fox is now a test subject.

It’s like a cross between “The Matrix” and “Total Recall”.

Are they more interested in "learning", or in a technique for totally reprogramming a person's personality, so that he will love Big Brother?

I didn’t see anything in the article about being able to involuntarily encode information directly into the subject’s brain. It sounds more to me like they want to find a way to make the brain super-plastic, so they can run the person through a highly-accelerated learning course in some skill and have them retain it, such as learning a language at a conversational/colloquial level in a couple of months instead of several years.
