NSA employee: do you get that you won’t be needed in the system you are creating, within ten to fifteen years? Has this occurred to you? That at some point your present position on the inside might become a position on the outside? AI will be able to do what you do, without any risk of “Snowden”-ing, which might become more and more likely as the planned tyranny gets closer and tighter. Right now, perhaps you see yourself preventing a nuclear attack, or chemical attack, or biological attack. Fair enough. But what else are you enabling? Who is watching you, and the people you work for? What could be done with the NSA if one person using AI could run the whole thing? What if, in fact, it were fully automated?
Here is the thing: we can’t stop technology, absent a global “event” of some sort. It will keep creeping along, no matter who is in the White House, and no matter what rules we create and try to enforce. Too many people want to be sorcerers.
BUT, what we can do–and this is the only way to “flank” the future and overcome the bad that is otherwise our destiny–is embed God and the afterlife within formal science as practiced in universities the world over.
The NSA employs a lot of geniuses. Why not join Edison, but from a VASTLY more advanced place, and create better EVP devices than we have today? Why not employ this brilliance to something other than a robotic and automated, pointless existence?
If the machines win, that IS the apocalypse, is it not? No more human life on Earth? All dead?
It is an interesting fact that our government, purely for pragmatic reasons, has in fact played with what I might term aspects or signs of God. We have funded, and found success in, Remote Viewing and, in my understanding, precognition. If one such thing is possible, why not all of them? If the mind’s eye can travel the Earth’s surface at will, why not an underlying spirit without a body?
Here is the core question you need to answer in depth, if you are not already a psychopath (in which case, I CAN’T talk to you): what are you protecting?
