“Human Augmentation – The Dawn of a New Paradigm”

Guest post by Dr. Robert Malone

The report: Human Augmentation – The Dawn of a New Paradigm. A strategic implications projectwas published jointly by the UK Ministry of Defense, and German Federal Ministry of Defense in 2021. Reading this document is frankly chilling as the the idea of using human augmentation for warfare is considered a fait accompli by the authors. That planning for human augmentation must start now.

We can assume that although this report is coming from the UK Ministry of Defense, and German Federal Ministry of Defense, parallel efforts are being made by most large governments around the world.

To begin this report highlights the important and benefits of human augmentation. From the report:

Human augmentation will become increasingly relevant, partly because it can directly enhance human capability and behavior and partly because it is the binding agent between people and machines. Future wars will be won, not by those with the most advanced technology, but by those who can most effectively integrate the unique capabilities of both people and machines. The importance of human-machine teaming is widely acknowledged but it has been viewed from a techno-centric perspective. Human augmentation is the missing part of this puzzle.

Of course, one of the first questions that must be asked when reading this report is what is human augmentation. An image from the report lists the technologies. The back of the report details these technologies in great detail:

The document goes on to write that the role of ethics and public perception in the use of human augmentation are not the deciding factors in developing human augmentation. The general consensus of the report is that human augmentation is critical for national security for the future development of warfare. It will be the military industrial complex (national interests) the ultimately decides what is developed.

Feasibility assessment

We cannot wait for the ethics of human augmentation to be decided for us, we
must be part of the conversation now. The ethical implications are significant but not insurmountable; early and regular engagement will be essential to remain at the forefront of this field. Ethical perspectives on human augmentation will change and this could happen quickly. There may be a moral obligation to augment people, particularly in cases where it promotes well-being or protects us from novel threats. It could be argued that treatments involving novel vaccination processes and gene and cell therapies are examples of human augmentation already in the pipeline.

The need to use human augmentation may ultimately be dictated by national interest.

Countries may need to develop and use human augmentation or risk surrendering influence, prosperity and security to those who will. National regulations dictating the pace and scope of scientific research reflect societal views, particularly in democracies that are more sensitive to public opinion. The future of human augmentation should not, however, be decided by ethicists or public opinion, although both will be important voices; rather, governments will need to develop a clear policy position that maximises the use of human augmentation in support of prosperity, safety and security, without undermining our values.

The report goes on:

Human augmentation is our first insight of what lies beyond today’s Information
Age – the coming of the Biotech age.
The Biotech age will see focus on the human grow. No longer will it be adequate to regard people merely as the means to operate
the machine. The interdisciplinary nature of human augmentation will render our current Industrial Age model of Defense ineffective. Defense must consider how it reorganizes to meet a future that will demand a human-centric approach to warfare where the person is armed with the capabilities to integrate fully into a single platform.

Differences in national, cultural and legal approaches will lead to an uneven uptake
of human augmentation within international alliances. This will further complicate interoperability, integration and deconfliction. Overcoming these challenges will demand closer cooperation between allies. Alliances must therefore start work now to understand how and where to prepare for the use of human augmentation.

In reading this report, it is important to understand how military complexes around the world view the human augmentation model for warfare.

Human augmentation may lead to fundamentally new concepts of warfare. In the next 30 years, increasing use of autonomous and unmanned systems – from the tactical to strategic level – could significantly increase the combat effect that an individual can bring to bear, but to realize this potential the interfaces between people and machines will need to be significantly enhanced. Human augmentation will play an important part in enabling this interface and, if done effectively, it will significantly alter our force structure, equipment program and doctrine. It is important to realize that the more human augmentation is embedded into Defense planning and practice, the more likely it is to become a target itself for an adversary; thus, counter-human augmentation measures need to be considered in parallel with the adoption of human augmentation.

Human augmentation will play a key role in reducing the risk of cognitive overload as warfare becomes faster, more complex and more congested. Bioinformatics are likely to play a key role in identifying commanders and staff with the right cognitive and adaptive potential for command and control roles. Brain interfaces linked to machine learning algorithms have the potential to rapidly accelerate the speed and quality of decision-making.

Today’s rehabilitation tools: tomorrow’s enhancements – physical and mental rehabilitation may, in the near term, prove to be the front line of human augmentation in Defense. Advanced prosthetics to rehabilitate wounded personnel represent the cutting edge of robotics and the latest neurostimulation devices and pharmaceuticals have been used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. Further development of these treatments will not only help to rehabilitate injured personnel, but they could also pave the way for future enhancements.

The report make the point that warfare models must conceptualize human beings as a platform “technology,” one that comprises physical, psychological and social performance. This is summarized in the following image:

Now read the caption from the report written below image at the top of the page, it states,

six million years of evolution to where we are today and now we have the tools in our hands to decide how our continued evolution should be shaped.”

It is important to understand that the development of human augmentation being presented goes beyond warfare, it suggests that humans will now control our own evolution via genetic engineering.

The arrogance and hubris in this point of view is enormous. That in one or two generations, the military industrial complex will pivot to controlling human evolution via genetic engineering and human augmentation is not only naive, ethically corrupt but fundamentally dangerous.

Another image from the report:

The report goes on to discusses the advantages of genetic engineering:

Another aspect of the report delves into personal information and the need to supersede such issues:

The key to developing effective human augmentation is an improved understanding of how both the body and technology work and how they work together. This will require access to, and analysis of, personal data: whether it is psychophysiological variables, collection of personal reference data, analysis of medical markers, or supervision of training routines. Only if these building blocks are put in place, will there be enough understanding to ensure that human augmentations can be made precisely and with certainty that the desired effect will be achieved. Only when (or if) this happens will the science of human augmentation arrive.

To end, this 110 page report is detailed and complex. It documents the ways humans can be augmented in great detail. I ask all of you to please read this report. Absorb this information and get ready for the coming battle.

We need to work to control and regulate the development of human augmentation now, before it truly is a fait accompli.

Wow! These people have jumped the shark.
The hubris and arrogance is stunning.
Yeah, just take Crispr to my genes. Kinda like a machete through dense underbrush and while you’re at it stick a microprocessor up my bum, wind me up and I’ll be ready to kill, Kill, KILL.
What could go wrong?
Hilarity ensues……

Can you imagine what would happen if people would go into their local recruiter and just hum a few bars? We’d have a movement.

Genesis 3:5 KJB… “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”

Yeah, we ate. These are just some of the consequences. The concept of evolution itself is this disastrous.

Uh, … apparently they’ve already beat you to the punch on that:

ethics and public perception in the use of human augmentation are not the deciding factors in developing human augmentation.

^This is a problem right here.

When I was kid the TV show “The Six Million Dollar Man” was popular. I thought being a human cyborg was great – as long as medical science and technology rebuilt people who couldn’t walk or lost their ability to see and hear.
Now I’m older and the tranhumanist idea of hooking yourself up to some interconnected Singularity is down right creepy because it has absolutely nothing to do with solving physical impairments or disabilities.

There’s really three kinds of people behind this
1. those who want to take part because they think that being human is, itself, an impairment or disability (i.e. they hate themselves and want to achieve power over others through “enhancement”), or
2. those who want others to take part (as in this military example) because they think humans are too fragile and need to be better able to kill in their wars, or
3. those who want others to be less independent and more controllable by a hivemind.

We cannot wait for the ethics of human augmentation to be decided for us

Translation – we need to rush along before some pesky Rand Paul gets in our way and messes things up.

Then come the naysayers… nah, computer/human hybridization is all science fiction. Its all wanker sales pitch and is nowhere near or ever will be realized. Transhumanism… scoff

Just like the ability to talk to someone with voice across the ocean… scoff, or sending pictures into peoples homes… scoff, riding in a horseless buggy – scoff, talking on your Dick Tracy wrist phone – scoff. Just like the hundreds of other things people with little vision scoffed at or couldn’t imagine would happen.

Transhumanism, marrying machine and man. Why would billionaires and governments be pouring huge amounts of money into something thats pointless or no real future. I know why… to eventually get a guard that will never turn on them and to one day upload the consciousness into a machine, to live forever and becomes like gods. In the meantime, the’ll settle for guards to protect them from the serfs. They work overtime with no coffee breaks and never complain.

As usual, the killing machines drive technological progress. With our fallen natures humans cannot be trusted with any technology. We’ve perverted it all starting with sticks, stones, and fire. I wonder how Cain killed Abel?

I have already referenced this HMG document and pointed to the involvement of our ex-Health Secretary, Matt Hancock, on the right hand at “Related Content”. This criminal is in the cabal of WEF:

We are up against the most evil of all possible imaginations. This is a battle to the death and I have a very good idea whose death it’s going to be. If I wasn’t so old and wiser I would be taking my sniper team (ex Nam) to take him out!
