I found amusement in the Movie "Inception", there has been a lot of work around enhancing human performance. Singularity, SRI, and many other big think tanks working on Emergent Technologies are looking to enhance and or extend humans for what is next on the future frontier, especially to further invade human fears, secrets, and treasures.
In regards to the Inception Concept vs. our indigenous capabilities from Fight or Flight mechanism in human processing, I'd like to ask the experts out there the following:
With the use of these latest demonstrated disruptive technologies such as fMRIs for mind reading or lie detection, and use of liposomes for possible drug and even information transport/delivery systems that can directly target the brain; I ask can biotech/nano enhance that capability in humans who 'lost' much of the fight or flight cognitive capabilities due to very little need (e.g., easier lifestyles)?
I would imagine that unless some researchers have seriously studied the indigenous humans; and especially other species that use it regularly (i.e, many of us recognized how our pets seem to know when we want to bathe them, etc. and they seem to know to hide before we even make a move) - is this from the full the range of senses (sight, smell, vibration, frequency, etc) igniting this fight or flight cognitive crunching set of capabilities?
Is there scientific consensus on the fact that there are humans with some of this natural heightened cognitive ability (due to survival requirements)? I imagine it is not going to be easy to really get scientific peer consensus of their existence? Hence Puthoff's, Targ's et. al work with Scanate, Stargate, etc.
If humans do have an "Inception" type of capability; I imagine that the natural set of abilities would have to have been maintained as a set of 'instructions for fight or flight and even wonder if this would be in the brain and/or genes' epi-memes?
What triggers, appropriates, these actions (instructions) for that cognitive 'receive', parse, process and read of a predator signals to enable the 'receiver' to determine fight or flight (or today's more sophisticated reactions when using it for spying? Yeah that so called term remote viewing)? Just imagine the ability to pick up the enemy and/or predators intentions within those hidden secret intents, treasures, fears, vulnerabilities that is in the targets 'attention'/attenuation! Wow, what a war front. Haven't these signals been recently demonstrated, shown lately in the advancements of fMRI tech today (where we can now extract some words)? I can imagine that the identification of the intent can be picked up with human chemical signatures as well (to gauge), and along with the visual signs and perceived patterns (of course dependent on the pattern matching ability and the speed of cognitive crunching on the probabilistic reaction patterns for human prediction for flight?).
As we have over the years technologically extended ourselves and become less dependent on the flight or fight needs, most of us have lost this natural ingenious ability (don't use, you loose). I imagine the real art would be to somehow re-entrain a human to re-activate these abilities and somehow "be able to follow or allow the natural set of instructions activate properly" if they are stored in the epi-genes?
Yet, in today's war front, there would be the need to 'have' a way to distract around the signals of thoughts 'our fear/secrets' and have a trigger to have them forgotten so they are not attenuated/active until needed (re-triggered and/or cued in some way) to avoid those with the enhanced heighten cognitive flight/flee functioning or interrogation tools (e.g., tools like these new fMRIs, etc.) in picking them up. Of course if "Inception" capability was real ;-) The latest results of fMRis have shown that our thoughts do radiate... Our secrets and fears may be the first to shine/radiate to the receivers ;-)
Yes, I imagine a good shamanic person (natural or technologically enhanced that had a background in hypnosis) could find ways to insert thoughts/concepts into the minds of others (counter measures) via the same above.. Oh, well... Who knows? We are very creative critters.. Someday, maybe we will have psychic medicine men and warriors.
What do you think? Will we be able to hide our secrets in the future?
