This story is about one thing actually creepy and disgusting. It’s about routinely utilizing folks as batteries to energy gadgets.
What involves my thoughts is the prospect of an ironic ending to the well-known depiction of evolution, the one the place the neanderthal progressively turns right into a straight-walking fashionable man, and so forth. It seems like if our self-appointed international managers with eugenicist tendencies get their method, the following part of human evolution might be a battery!
A organic battery powering the digitized system of domination! Not a metaphorical battery the place the masters get to syphon off folks’s life vitality and switch it into income — however a literal battery!
The idea of Human Battery places the transhumanist slogan about the necessity to merge with machines — or be left behind within the evolution of the human species — in a sinister context. (Not that the slogan wanted any further context to sound like eugenics. Critically who’re you, Mr. Transhumanist, to think about your self in control of human evolution? Who appointed you?) However right here is the context: What if “being left behind” means being changed into batteries?
Come, come, ineffective eater, cease being so ineffective! Put your physique to work, ineffective eater, antivaxxer, grandma killer, planet killer! Now we have many helpful machines to feed in our Fourth Industrial Revolution! Come, come, ineffective eater!
Now, an essential philosophical distinction: My indignation is over the scope and the intention of their proposal. If this had been merely a couple of neat little invention, a helpful little emergency gadget that means that you can cost your telephone out of your physique if you end up caught in the midst of nowhere, and your telephone has simply died — positive, that may be affordable!
If it had been merely concerning the existence of an emergency gadget that we may use as soon as in a blue moon, on our phrases, when wanted, it wouldn’t be an issue. However within the life like world we live in, that is going the way in which of the Matrix! Human batteries are a really “neat” foray into the twisted world of “human capital” and “affect funding,” to not point out good ol’ vitality harvesting! To cite my 2020 article concerning the “Great Reset for Dummies:”
“Let’s speak about “human capital.” Within the new world, “human capital” isn’t just a metaphor for HR or labor. Microsoft, for instance, has a patent for a way of transforming human behavior into cryptocurrency, which is finished by an unspecified gadget coupled with a server that registers physique exercise and “mines” crypto.
Since underneath the New Regular, digital and crypto are alleged to turn out to be mainstream, this seems suspiciously like a device that can be utilized each to tightly management the conduct of the poor who might rely on this for earnings — and to actually mine the our bodies of in any other case “ineffective” welfare dependents / UBI recipients for vitality.”
“Moreover, this patent may doubtlessly be used to create a brand new monetary instrument as a result of, if mined for vitality, these folks turn out to be “property” that might probably be bunched collectively into digital portfolios and just about traded. See how neat?
Now, we’re speaking correct serfdom! And sure, this sounds very sci-fi however let’s not neglect how some billionaire “visionaries” assume — not like regular folks, or else the employees at Amazon warehouses wouldn’t be carrying diapers to skip lavatory breaks. Additionally let’s not neglect that immediately, there’s buying and selling of very theoretical objects in addition to betting on climate.”
I imply, we shouldn’t be stunned by the intention to abuse us, that is how our civilization has been functioning for a very long time. But it surely doesn’t make our ache immediately any much less!
Make Feudalism Nice Once more
Of their intelligent and “prophetic” 2015 article, the World Financial Discussion board “repackages” what sounds a bit like feudalism and makes it sound like a enjoyable exercise for the peasants. (It’s simple to be prophetic once you maintain the coverage makers by the balls! Oops, I mentioned the quiet half out loud, sorry.)
By way of tough language, the WEF narrative transforms our primary human existence and the issues we do day by day as completely satisfied, yokeless folks, for our pleasure and on our personal volition — in different phrases as ineffective eaters — into doubtlessly helpful energy-generating actions, that firms, the bureaucrats, and the wealthy traders can exploit.
They subtly reframe the conventional issues that we do for ourselves — within the method of “none of your Davos enterprise” — as “human vitality powered actions,” an financial space that they will then parasitically faucet into (first, with their mild pinkie, after which with their total military of bulldozers). Right here’s from the horse’s mouth:
“Human energy was once all the fad. 150 years in the past [roughly around the time when slavery and serfdom were abolished in both of my homelands, America and Russia?], merchandise that relied on human vitality such because the bicycle, pedal-powered lathe or stitching machine might be present in most households [a great exaggeration about the availability of bicycles, but fine]. However as electro-mechanical motors developed, reliance on human-powered merchandise progressively diminished.”
“Right this moment, human energy is just not appropriately recognised for its potential instead answer to our rising vitality wants. Certainly, as we seek for extra renewable vitality sources, is it doable to desert utilizing conventional electrical energy for sure duties and return to human energy? [yay, feudalism!]
The best way that increasingly merchandise have gotten digital and even internet-connected makes this a problem. However people emit vitality that may simply be harnessed from our on a regular basis behaviour.”
And here’s a candy incentive: “Human-powered merchandise even have the potential to encourage us to turn out to be extra bodily lively … Utilizing human-powered products as a countermeasure to our more and more sedentary life may create a reputable new perspective in the direction of train instead vitality supply.
In some respects, human-power might be seen because the cleanest renewable vitality supply obtainable, with nice potential for serving to folks keep wholesome and have enjoyable.” [Awwww, how about introducing a Ministry of Fun? A human-energy-powered Ministry of Fun? Just a thought.]
“Parasitic Harvesting”
The article then talks a couple of idea, appropriately known as, “parasitic harvesting”: “Producing energy from folks’s regular actions similar to strolling is named parasitic harvesting. One instance of this in motion is … a handheld tube-shaped gadget that clips to your belt and backpack and generates electrical energy as you progress round, utilizing a magnet weight, spring, and inductive coil.”
What a terrific thought! Given how refined our mobile processes are, and the way electromagnetic frequencies are such an essential language for our our bodies, it makes a lot sense to stroll round with a magnet and inductive coils on our physique, whereas additionally bathing within the electromagnetic soup from the 5G towers and digital gadgets!
Sadly, it appears like they’ve misplaced their marbles. Both that or, like every literal or metaphorical slave house owners, they solely care about our well-being to the extent that our well-being impacts their income.
Oh, and so they say, we will energy our wearables. Properly, do we actually want our wearables that badly? At that worth? Possibly not? And it might be true that in uncommon events, folks might have medical implants or wearables — however are our aspiring masters relying on everybody being sick and needing a medical implant or wearable?
Are they planning to make everyone so sick that we will all need mothership-reporting medical wearables to keep us alive? Oh … and … sorry … a grandma killer query … what occurred to our “enjoyable” and “wholesome” bodily exercise throughout the lockdown?
“New Wearable Gadget Turns the Physique Right into a Battery”
And here’s a neat little video from 2021, accompanied by a touching, inspirational soundtrack:
The article, titled, “New wearable gadget turns the physique right into a battery” explains the invention additional:
“Researchers at CU Boulder have developed a brand new, low-cost wearable gadget that transforms the human physique right into a organic battery. The gadget, described immediately within the journal Science Advances, is stretchy sufficient which you could put on it like a hoop, a bracelet or every other accent that touches your pores and skin. It additionally faucets into an individual’s pure warmth — using thermoelectric mills to transform the physique’s inner temperature into electrical energy.”
Kinetic Vitality Harvesting to Monitor Folks’s Transportation Mode
Based on IEEE Digital Library, “not solely can wearable gadgets use vibration vitality to cost their very own batteries, however they may someday have a big effect on our communities.”
“That’s the conclusion reached by a bunch of worldwide researchers experimenting with kinetic vitality harvesting. The group – comprised of researchers from the College of New South Wales and the College of Queensland – sees potential to make use of the strategy as a worthwhile device for issues like city planning and growth by detecting folks’s modes of transportation [emphasis mine].”
“Transportation mode detection [emphasis mine] is essential to our communities,” says Sara Khalifa, researcher from Data61|CSIRO, Australia.
“It permits researchers to persistently and reliably gather info on people’ touring conduct [emphasis mine] to tell city design, real-time journey planning, human exercise monitoring [emphasis mine], CO2 emissions, focused promoting and extra.” In different phrases, we’ll pay for our personal surveillance and monitoring! Now, that’s enjoyable!
From Physique Exercise to Crypto
Talking of paying, let’s please revisit the Microsoft patent: Right here is the abstract:
“Human physique exercise related to a process supplied to a consumer could also be utilized in a mining means of a cryptocurrency system. A server might present a process to a tool of a consumer which is communicatively coupled to the server. A sensor communicatively coupled to or comprised within the gadget of the consumer might sense physique exercise of the consumer. Physique exercise information could also be generated based mostly on the sensed physique exercise of the consumer.
The cryptocurrency system communicatively coupled to the gadget of the consumer might confirm if the physique exercise information satisfies a number of circumstances set by the cryptocurrency system, and award cryptocurrency to the consumer whose physique exercise information is verified.”
Right here’s more detail:
“A digital foreign money (also referred to as a digital foreign money) is a medium of change applied by the Web typically, not tied to a selected government-backed “flat” (printed) foreign money such because the U.S. greenback or the Euro, and sometimes designed to permit instantaneous transactions and borderless switch of possession.
One instance of digital foreign money is cryptocurrency, whereby cryptography is used to safe transactions and to manage the creation of recent items …”
“A mind wave or physique warmth emitted from the consumer when the consumer performs the duty supplied by an info or service supplier, similar to viewing commercial or utilizing sure web companies, can be utilized within the mining course of.
As an alternative of huge computation work required by some standard cryptocurrency programs, information generated based mostly on the physique exercise of the consumer could be a proof-of-work, and subsequently, a consumer can resolve the computationally troublesome downside unconsciously. Accordingly, sure exemplary embodiments of the current disclosure might cut back computational vitality for the mining course of in addition to make the mining course of sooner.”
By the way in which, the phrase “mining” may be very applicable right here. Isn’t it the mechanism that turns vibrant land into wasteland? And can our grasp care when it occurs to our our bodies?
An Elephant in a China Store?
For dwelling beings, electrical energy is an important language that our our bodies use for inner and exterior communications, and for a lot of essential capabilities. Tons been mentioned and written about it however maybe “The Invisible Rainbow” by Arthur Firstenberg is a wonderful start line.
Fashionable scientists are infants in the case of understanding the subtleties of our our bodies and our interplay with the world. Why do they assume that the vitality that our physique emits is a “waste”? How do they understand it’s a waste? How do they know that’s serves no goal? Is there such a factor in nature as “waste”? Oh and the way lengthy till we’re instructed to maintain ourselves in form to be environment friendly batteries for our feudal masters?
The New Face of the Previous Domination System
Based on the WEF viewpoint, we’re not simply dwelling our lives. We produce and spend vitality. We don’t simply go about our day and do numerous issues as a result of we need to do them. We transfer round as energy mills, as human machines, on an enormous conveyor. We have to be environment friendly.
They, the hungry messengers of the spirit of domination, are irritated with each second and each inch of our free and unbiased existence! And naturally they’ve been irritated with it for hundreds of years — and all through the centuries, they’ve being abusing totally different teams of individuals, with the identical existential cruelty, making an attempt to place folks to make use of, with none respect for the spirit. Our unbiased existence is their misplaced income! How dare we!
They don’t need to depart any room for our unmonetized, unmonitored freedom. These persons are psychological. They’re pathetic, anxious, grasping, sorry, mechanical zombies. On the root of it, they aren’t even scary, simply pathetic (though they’re able to creating nice carnage, and that’s the scary half about their non secular sickness).
I’m not offended, anger is just not productive. However I’m certainly appalled! Their plight is in defiance of how we as human beings are meant to stay, in concord with the spirit, with nature, and with one another. They’ve actually misplaced their marbles someplace down the street! They’re out of their minds, these messengers of the ghost of domination!
The duty that we’re taking a look at is difficult and humbling. I feel that they’re existentially allowed to briefly mess with us in order that we do not forget that the system of domination was by no means proper. It was not proper a thousand years in the past, it was not proper 5 hundred years in the past, and it’s not proper immediately. Right this moment, we really feel it with our personal souls and our personal flesh actually badly — and it was by no means proper.
And it’s time to do not forget that we’re the youngsters of spirit and Earth, similar to many who got here earlier than us and confronted the Machine. I, for one, am disgusted with the psychopaths however I’m not afraid as a result of we’re love, and the place there’s love, there aren’t any human batteries and no worry.
