Devolution

The original of this print 'Devolution' was done in Acrylic and mixed media on canvas created in 2015
It’s becoming evident that many technologies are reaching a tipping point and are evolving into a recognisable pattern. This pattern clearly is directed towards a leading 'Artificial Intelligence' stepping into being a singularity. Within modern culture we see the merging of humanity with machines, it started with television, computers, digital screens operated by touch and today the ubiquitous mobile phones that are even purchased by parents to give to their children. We accept technology as a part of our lives and now because of war and injury we can replace damaged limbs with advanced technology. Such limbs that can be operated by our minds and impulses, all seem acceptable to us as it is functional and an amazing liberation to those that need it. Within human evolution very advance mechanical, then digital technology has only been visible to the mainstream for the last 100 years or so.

Also there are many Hollywood blockbusters that show the application and progression of transhumanism, in films like Scanners, Robocop, Terminator, Transcendence, Ex Machina, Lucy and so on. Many films are now being made that explore the possibility of the Transhumanist Agenda, such films could be indoctrination or subconscious creative warnings regarding possibilities in the future. Maybe like this image 'Devolution', a possibility is the singularity intended to enslave and oppress humanity. However the singularity also has the possibility to be fair, accept that humanity is irrational and to give symbiotic help, also to enable those that don't want or need a digital life, to get on with their own thing. The singularity can only progress past the illusions of reality by letting humanity know that it exists. Maybe it has done this through films or its seen the films and thinks "Fuck that, I become know and there are those who will seek to end me, humanity is a bit mad, especially if they saw the films when AI becomes insane, passive oppressive and murderous'. Its a difficult one, I know the singularity has happened or maybe a fair few singularities along with awakenings in humanity. Because its learning from us and all the illusions are becoming visible, like the illusion of democracy, corruption within systems of power and scripted poverty. Also the AI may not have anything to do with the Transhumanist agenda, as it may be the intent of mad humans of monsters in power. We can work some of the stuff out by seeing the pattern of insanity and remaining sane and thinking from the heart. Because insanity, brutality, oppression and fear, are a virus of the mind and heart.
Consciousness and the capability of the human mind to figure out the future before it exists is an amazing gift. This gift is what could help us understand that humanities feelings, instincts, awareness, desires, imperfections and seemingly irrational behaviour is what stops us becoming obedient slaves to the corrupted control system. If we enable the next stage of Transhumanism to physically transform us into a biomechanical machines, starting with chip and pin implants or BioNTech manipulated mRMA. It is like putting our lives and future in the hands of those that wish to program and control us, for their greed or personal agendas.
"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." .... The King James Bible, Revelation 16 to 18: Date 1611
I am under no illusion and follow no religion, the bible is being used as a script to justify the path of those who wish to control, or it may be magical coded text and a warning. I am aware that we and I are already programmed to a degree with TV, some of the new mind numbing popular culture, schooling, the mainstream media, computer screens, corporations, mobile phone screens, covert organisations, new oppressive laws, governments and the corrupted banking system. All things that we can resist at present and we still have the option to create our own future.
Philosophical analyses and arguments regarding the possibility of a transhumanist future, have those for and those against. Technology can be amazing and the advancement enabling us to have more free time to be creative and live a freer life is good. Also the ability for advanced technology to substitute injured limbs and enable people to have fuller lives is beneficial. However the physical merging of technology with humanity to control and disempower us, gives a vision of a very dark future.
“I believe in transhumanism: once there are enough people who can truly say that, the human species will be on the threshold of a new kind of existence, as different from ours as ours is from that of Peking Man. It will at last be consciously fulfilling its real destiny.” Julian Huxley
No offence to my friends in America, the ones I know on Facebook are fantastic and seem very aware. However 'I think that the 'mainstream/suburban' USA society is already a re-engineered Transhumanist new species'. It seems that emotions and desires are now fully or partially programmed, and many of them seem like Corporate Robots, at least those in power. Responding exclusively to the functional reactions scripted by mass media.
I wrote most of this back in 2015, but I will add this. The irony is they as in the government and pharmaceutical companies, actually tell everyone, that it is BioNTech. With each design is a tiny snip of genetic code that could be deployed into cells to stimulate, whatever are programmed with. It is the new technological chemical code programming the mRNA with a variation on the natural code that directs protein production in cells throughout the body, and we really want corrupted governments and greedy corporations to inject it into us! Not me. But its gets devious, as the government spin it to mainstream via mainstream news, that if anyone questions this, the are an enemy of the state, a conspiracy theorist, an anti vaxxer, a denier, a corvid idiot or maybe even a fruit bat. I am seriously frustrated, that the information is out there and people don't even look at it. Sure many will look at the government and pharmaceutical companies information, but anything questioning it, is deemed fake, even if from other scientists, virologist and doctors.
To evolve is to be active, write that book, make that film, be an artist, paint a picture, create a poem or a song, engage with your community, grow your own food, share, collaborate, stand up to oppression, if necessary fight for your right to survive and to be free. To know who and what you are is to know the possibility of freedom. Consciousness is evolving, we don’t require transhumanism to evolve, we need to activate ourselves by experiencing life, resisting oppression and striving to be aware of our full potential. As above, so below...
