Just in time, for the ‘Birth’, there are a few more signs that Humanity 1.00 is about to be Terminated and upgraded to Humanity 2.00 .
First, it has been announced that ‘The Terminator’ is back and Arnold Schwarzenegger will appear in a fifth Terminator movie – ‘I’ll be Back’ – to play the cyborg from the future, but as we’ve seen the future is almost here .
From Sky News :
“The Terminator will be back – with film bosses announcing a new trilogy of the hit sci-fi franchise.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed he will be the Terminator in the fifth instalment, and shooting is set to begin in January.
Paramount has announced it will reboot the franchise alongside Skydance Productions and Annapurna Pictures.”
And in Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport, Ed Snowden continues his role and now is playing the Tom Hanks role from ‘The Terminal’ movie (thanks to Hugo) .
Also, a long way from Earth, it has been annnounced that Voyager 1 and humanity has reached ‘The Final Frontier’ and escapes the Sun for the first time .
From BBC News :
“It could be any day, but it could also be several more years.”
Ed Stone cannot say when the Voyager-1 spacecraft will leave the Solar System, but he believes the moment is close.
The latest data from this extraordinary probe, reported in this week’s Science journal, suggests it is surfing right on the very edge of our Sun’s domain.”
But, as we’ve seen over the last few years, if there is a Termination there will be a Birth following on soon afterwards . And unfortunately ‘The New Atlantis’ looks like a mad scientist’s wet dream – “Bots, Borgs And Humans” .
Firstly, the UK Government has announced today that it will allow the creation of babies with three person DNA and with the imminent arrival of the result of the union between William and Kate, I can’t help but find the announcement of the timing rather suspicious . I wonder who the third person is – Uncle Jimmy Savile ?
From BBC News :
“The UK looks set to become the first country to allow the creation of babies using DNA from three people, after the government backed the IVF technique.
It will produce draft regulations later this year and the procedure could be offered within two years.”
Secondly, it looks like cloning is back on the agenda, if it ever went away, as scientists in Japan have cloned a mouse from a miniscule drop of blood – click Pop Sci.com . No wonder, the ‘Elite’ are always having their rooms steam cleaned for traces of DNA .
Finally, Japan intends to send a talking robot named Kibo into space on August 4th (Obama’s birthday) .
“Japan is to send a talking robot into space to see how machines that communicate are able to work with humans.
The robot has been developed by scientists from the Kirobo project – named after “kibo” or hope in Japanese – and is capable of holding a conversation with people.
It is scheduled to be launched from the Tanegashima Space Center on August 4.”
Regular readers will be familiar with my theory that a Techno Mind exists and will be the main engine for ‘The Brave New World’ . And in a scene from a sci fi movie where the aliens say ‘We’ve come in peace’ but the audience know they haven’t, Kibo tells us what his dream for the future is :
“I want to create a future where humans and robots can live together and get along”
Why don’t I believe him or her (it’s difficult to tell with robots) ? “Shiny, Happy Robots” .
And going back to Terminator 5 and Arnie, the famous phrase “Hasta La Vista” means ‘Be Seeing You’ in English which just happens to be the phrase used by the inhabitants of The Village in The Prisoner / Prismnor .
“The Whole Earth ( and The Universe ) as The Village” ?
