Suture up the future with lofty new tropes.
Utopian promises to distract the hopes,
of those who pray for humanities' techno-salvation--
instead of military full spectrum domination.
-Josh Deaver

Take a step outside your planet and turnaround...take a look at where you are--it's pretty scary.

SONG: Kraftwerk- Man Machine

Conituation of last week's discussion, focusing on how the military and other developers of 'converging technologies' steer technological development, manifest the deployment and justify the use of these technologies in every sector of life, using future assessments, think-tanks and unflappable panels of experts. Additionally discussed is how this 'need' for the militaristic use of NBIC technolgoies is backed up by 'total war' scenarios contained in within the same reports authored by government, military agencies, think-tanks and private contractors which (conveniently) feeds into the DOD's stated doctrine of "full spectrum dominance"

Discussion of the inherent inequalities having to do with what would be the coercive/voluntary implementation of biometric implants and augmentations, as well as the distorted view of normalcy coming from 'transhumanist' proponents, caused by adherence to doctrine and the insular nature of their highly spedcialized sceintific community.
