The Brain is the Battlefield of the Future:
Dr. James Giordano: how advancements in neuroscience and neurotechnology will impact the future of war.
First we’d like to thank Modern War Institute at West Point for this very informative presenatation and for making it public:
Dr. James Giordano, Chief of the Neuroethics Studies Program and Scholar-in-Residence in the Pellegrino Center for Clinical Bioethics at Georgetown University, speaks to cadets and faculty about how advancements in neuroscience and neurotechnology will impact the future of war. This event was hosted by the Modern War Institute at West Point. https://youtu.be/N02SK9yd60s
The topics he will cover:
– Weaponized neuro-cognitive science / Weapons of Mass Destruction and Disruption (and Influence)
– Agenda to affect free will
– “- if in fact I understand how it is that your brain does what your brain does, I may be able to access your brain and affect your brain, indirectly and directly.”
– Assess, Access, Affect the Brain
– Brain science for warfare intelligence❗️ already in operational play
– Interventional technologies, including: Directed Energy Devices, Novel Pharmaceuticals, Nanoneurotechnologicals
– How to influence the attitudes, beliefs, thoughts, emotions, activities, and vulnerabilities of individuals
– Genetics, biomarkers and information database for tracking/surveillance
– Psychological operations (psyops) to influence behavior and emotions of individuals, groups, and populations
– Dr. Giordano mentions Havana (Havana Syndrome) as a possible Directed Energy Weapon Neural attack
– DARPA program to implant brain machine networks
– DARPA’s program, Neural Narratives, to influence individuals/groups through psyops and propaganda
– Manipulating bio-data as a potential weapon
– Efforts to use drugs and nano/neurotechnology to “enhance” military warfighters/personnel
– Dual-use: “Medical purposes that are then repurposed in medicine and used for other agenda”
– Initiatives against potential dissidents/opposition
– Gene-editing a virus to make it more deadly and/or to cause worldwide panic to disrupt a nation(s)/population
– Controllable nanomaterials that can be aerosolized to infiltrate the biological system up to the neural membrane
– Drugs, bugs(viruses) and toxins can be developed “under the radar” if classified as Weapons of Mass Disruption
– Ethical posturing…
– “- advancements in medicine very often arise as a consequence of the possible utility of various forms of science and tech to be weaponized and the damage that they incur”
– Brave New World
– MKUltra (*mind control) to alter the cognition, emotions and behavior of individuals (using psychedelic drugs)
– Using transcranial devices (magnetic/electric stimulation) / and engaging brain substrates, nodes, networks through the use of pharmaceuticals
