When Dr. Farrell said “release of new technology” I was reminded of an idea I had.
I think the human body was manufactured to live in a structured and managed environment which is technology, like clothing and shelter (prolonged hypothermia is deadly), processed food (making foods digestible), and means to convey our ideas and thinking (language, writing, etc.)
Therefore, if one changes the technology or environment, the mind has to change with it. Just look at what living in an advanced urban environment has done to people “urban psychopathy”

… yes there is a distinction between Natural and UnNatural Technologies to be made. To address your comments … this would lead one to think that there is also a distinction between Natural and UnNatural Adaptations.

“It’s also worth mentioning that Trump’s “madness” might be part of the plan anyway…”
Especially if one holds the key to future “golden age” of energy supply. Especially when accomplished generals are talking about it.

Trump was always pretty rough and tough on his “apprentices”…

Got me wondering if DEI hires are an example of an UnNatural selection!

… I found William Barrett’s The Illusion of Technique: A Search for Meaning in a Technological Civilization … and Back to the Rough Ground: Practical Judgment and the Lure of Technique
by Joseph Dunne to be helpful along those lines. As always original sources are best … the Charmides by Plato … not sure I go along with (or approve of) Aristotle’s thought that technology is a means of man in helping to complete nature. Before using technology to bring about objects not NATURALLY found in nature (if memory serves Aristotle said something along those lines) It would seem that much thought should be put into the question of whether or not it is a GOOD (in the Socratic / Platonic sense) that the proposed objects be brought into the World. Certainly questions related to the effect(s) of bringing those objects into the World on current states of affairs (relations effecting belief) as they are in the World and how they could or might be altered in turn possibly altering perception(s) of Reality should be of considered.

so…is nature technology, or technology is nature
Either everything is in the nature…i.e. everything is natural…or…all in all everything…is what?
Life and living…as it is?
Not dead.
How one said that the stone is dead nature?
How could he said that?
Based on what?
It is simple.
All is …the Thing…and alive…
Just saying…
(then again…one to be divergent…is to be convergent…)
Socrates even questioned that new technology of his times: writing.
[if my memory serves me right; which is questionable(at best).]
Wouldn’t even use a search engine[AI’$ infested with 'em].
If my memory is questionable; AI is unquestionably compromised[beyond recognition/cognition]
Is there a subject you are not familiar with?
The predictive mind sounds interesting and can be read thru internet archive.
… yes, the world is an incredible place and there is so much that I have not the slightest idea about. 
… but I do try to read around as much as possible in my areas of interest.
… the Hohwy book (and related research) has been on my radar for some time.
On that I agree, for the rest I don’t even approach your ankle. Could memory be affected by trauma sensitive genetic areas? I read alot, but can’t hold on to it. I very much feel like “there’s a hole in my bucket dear liza”!
… yes, there is quite a bit of evidence that there is a relationship between trauma and memory.
If you type “relationship between trauma and memory” and “genetic areas related to memory” into Google you will see quite a variety of research into the connections.
Enjoy!

Is that why babies used to be traumatized by slapping their bottom to make them forget the trauma of entering this world?
… could very well be.
And to forget the comforting world in their mother’s womb where existence was provided for by just existing? Crying starts them breathing supposedly and starts the process of survival to obtain what was previously provided for without effort.
… Our good friend BlakeCosmos has long argued to me that the time range between technology we are aware of and the technology of the black world is not 35 - 50 years as is commonly thought, but closer to the lifetime of an average human if not slightly longer. That would make the difference somewhere between 80-100 years. If this “Ghost Murmur” technology is as described then BlakeC is probably correct.
“The United States has technology that can “manipulate time and space.” - Michael Kratsios, White House Director of Science and Technology
The question is: What exactly would this look like? … the descriptions given by people in Venezuela perhaps?

Based on his education and career ladder at only 40 years old, this dude is being groomed…. What does a political science degree and Hellenic studies from Princeton University have to do with technology? Well maybe an association with Lindsey Graham and Peter Thiel before working for Trump?
