Giant Machine Cleans up Plastic From Oceans

Cultocracy note :

More inspiring news that illustrates how a single creative individual can make a positive change . In this particular case , young inventor Boyan Slat has almost single handedly designed a large machine that aims to clean up the plastic waste in the world’s oceans . Moreover Boyan Slat’s company is a non-profit enterprise , he is more interested in the challenge and the beneficial results to everyone and everything , refreshing to see that in a modern age this unselfish mindset has not been totally snuffed out . Hopefully Boyan Slat will encourage more younger people to follow his lead .

Change will come from the younger generation , by and large the older generations have been seduced by wealth and power , indoctrinated and corrupted by cultocratic doctrines that should have died out with the dinosaurs . Many of the figures that are cited as being most admired in the world are part and parcel of the system of control , they only care about themselves and their stolen wealth , others have sold out for a seat at the trough .

Ask yourselves a serious question , what exactly have Bill Gates , Barack Obama and Queen Elizabeth II ever achieved ?

In modern times a carefully crafted PR campaign and a supplicant MSM can maintain the illusion and the promote the deception .

Has Boyan Slat not gifted more to the Earth than all of these people combined ?

The Revolutionary Giant Ocean Cleanup Machine Is About To Set Sail

Boyan Slat dropped out of school to work on his design for a device that could collect the trillions of pieces of plastic floating in the ocean. After years of work, it’s ready to take its first voyage.

On a Wednesday afternoon in a sprawling lot on a former naval air station in Alameda, California, across the bay from San Francisco, workers are welding a massive black tube together. The tube–roughly the length of a football field–is one piece of a larger system that will set sail for the Great Pacific Garbage Patch this summer, where it will begin collecting some of the 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic trash brought there by ocean currents.

Six years ago, the technology was only an idea presented at a TEDx talk. Boyan Slat, the 18-year-old presenter, had learned that cleaning up the tiny particles of plastic in the ocean could take nearly 80,000 years. Because of the volume of plastic spread through the water, and because it is constantly moving with currents, trying to chase it with nets would be a losing proposition. Slat instead proposed using that movement as an advantage: With a barrier in the water, he argued, the swirling plastic could be collected much more quickly. Then it could be pulled out of the water and recycled.

Some scientists have been skeptical that the idea is feasible. But Slat, undeterred, dropped out of his first year of university to pursue the concept, and founded a nonprofit to create the technology, The Ocean Cleanup, in 2013. The organization raised $2.2 million in a crowdfunding campaign, and other investors, including Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, brought in millions more to fund research and development. By the end of 2018, the nonprofit says it will bring back its first harvest of ocean plastic back from the North Pacific Gyre, along with concrete proof that the design works. The organization expects to bring 5,000 kilograms of plastic ashore per month with its first system. With a full fleet of systems deployed, it believes that it can collect half of the plastic trash in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch–around 40,000 metric tons–within five years.

There have been multiple engineering challenges along the way. The design originally called for an anchor attached to the seabed, but because of the expense and complication, the team had to abandon the plan; they eventually realized that a floating anchor could work. “There were many times in the last few years that were really rough,” Slat, now 23, told me as we sat on a pallet surrounded by sections of the device. The fact that there was so much at stake helped him keep going.

“I would never be able to work on a photo-sharing app or ‘internet startup XYZ,’” he says. “I think people overestimate the risk of high-risk projects. Personally, I think I would find it much harder to make a photo-sharing app a success–it sounds counterintuitive, because it’s much easier from an engineering perspective, but I think if you work on something that’s truly exciting and bold and complicated, then you will attract the kind of people that are really smart and talented. People that like solving complicated problems.”

IARPA MICrONS Project – Hybrid AI

The video below is from the 2018 Artificial Intelligence Conference held in New York .

In the video Harvard and MIT professor George Church discusses the IARPA MICrONS (Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks) Project . The project aims to reverse engineer the natural algorithms in the human brain and then apply these to AI systems . Artificial neural networks (ANN) are generally considered to be limited by only having the ability to learn from mathematical algorithms , these are considered clumsy , linear and perhaps a little erratic . Adding a human dimension will allow an AI system to learn in a more creative manner , in much the same way a human learns , except at considerably accelerated rate .

The MICrONS Project is part of the broader US based BRAIN Initiative .

The US BRAIN initiative was largely a failure , possibly due to ethical constraints .

Also worth noting that in the video George Church mentions ethics , stating that it is hard enough to teach his students ethics , never mind a machine . I wonder which ‘students’ he is referring to ?

Hmmm ? Who could we turn to who would help us to overcome those pesky ethical constraints ?

Ethics is not in the vocabulary of organizations like IARPA .

IARPA is considered to be the satanic spawn of the NSA & the CIA .

IARPA (Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity) is the intelligence agencies version of DARPA .

The Wikipedia entry for IARPA states :

IARPA characterizes its mission as follows: “To envision and lead high-risk, high-payoff research that delivers innovative technology for future overwhelming intelligence advantage.”

IARPA funds academic and industry research across a broad range of technical areas, including mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry, biology, neuroscience, linguistics, political science, and cognitive psychology. Most IARPA research is unclassified and openly published. IARPA transfers successful research results and technologies to other government agencies. Notable IARPA investments include quantum computing, superconducting computing, machine learning, and forecasting tournaments.

“By modeling the brain’s computations and extracting their key features, we think we can give computers the ability to do much better.”

“Technologies in both physics and molecular biology have advanced so much that we can now record from many hundreds of neurons at a time, with even more extensive recordings on the horizon,” he said. “This lets us analyze neural circuits in ways that we couldn’t dream of just a few years ago.”

The researchers will focus on a part of the cortex that processes vision, a sensory system that neuroscientists have explored intensively and that computer scientists have long striven to emulate. “Vision seems easy — just open your eyes — but it’s hard to teach computers to do the same thing,”

“Feedback connections are an incredibly important part of cortical networks,”

Neuroscientists don’t yet precisely understand what these feedback loops are doing, though they know they are important for our ability to direct our attention.

“What is lacking in a machine right now is imagination and introspection. I believe the feedback circuitry allows us to imagine and introspect at many different levels,”

• Mapping the Brain to Build Better Machines

The researchers will introduce a modified fluorescent protein, which is sensitive to calcium, into the rodents. When a neuron fires, calcium ions rush into the cell, causing the protein to glow brighter—so using a laser scanning microscope, the researchers will be able to watch the neurons as they’re firing. “That’s a little bit like wire tapping the brain,” Cox says. “The way you might listen in on a phone call to see what’s going on, we can listen in on important internal aspects of the brain while the animal is alive and doing something.”

Partnered with George Church, a geneticist at Harvard Medical School, they plan to use DNA barcoding: they will label every neuron with a unique sequence of nucleotides (barcode) and chemically connect barcodes across synapses to reconstruct circuits.

The scientists next have to find a way to make all this information useful for algorithms in machine learning. They have some ideas about how to do this. For one, many researchers believe the brain is Bayesian—that neurons represent sensory information in the form of probability distributions, calculating the most likely interpretation of an event based on previous experience. This hypothesis is based primarily on the idea of feedback loops in the brain—that information does not only flow forward, but that there are even more connections flowing back.

Conclusion

I think we can safely assume that the BRAIN initiative was devised in the bowels of the deep state , the whole programme is closely related to gene mapping projects .

To create ANN’s that could simulate the learning process of the human brain you will require human test subjects , not mice . Although any research conducted on the unfortunate lab rats could easily be applied to human subjects , I am sure the scientists involved in the project know this . Would you rather follow the path of Einstein , or Josef Mengele ?

The links between the intelligence agencies and academia are all pervasive , the bottomless pit of taxpayer funding is the carrot .

The stick is a life in purgatory , or worse .

The deep state agencies are above the law , both legal and moral .

Volunteers need not apply .

As always the keyword is control .

Havana Style “Sonic Attacks” On Embassy Personnel In China

More strange “sonic attacks” reported, this time in China. And once again, as with the US embassy in Cuba, the state department is warning staff to keep them updated on any abnormal hearing or vision issues. One person complained of “subtle and vague, but abnormal, sensations of sound and pressure.” Less-than-lethal (LTL) sonic weapons are nothing new and using frequencies to alter thoughts, discern emotion or incapacitate a person exists with more certainly under covert development.

thegoldwater.com/news/23596-Seattle-Fusion-Center-FOIA-Included-Files-On-Psychotronic-Weapons

Jinnie Lee, a spokeswoman for the US embassy in China, says an employee experienced a “variety of physical symptoms” from late 2017 until April of 2018 while working at the US consulate in Guangzhou. She was sent back to the US and diagnosed with a mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI).

“We do not currently know what caused the reported symptoms and we are not aware of any similar situations in China, either inside or outside of the diplomatic community. The US government is taking these reports seriously and has informed its official staff in China of this event,” the official statement read.

thegoldwater.com/news/12687-DARPA-AI-Controlled-Brain-Implants-Raise-Ethical-Concerns

The statement also warned employees in the area: “While in China, if you experience any unusual acute auditory or sensory phenomena accompanied by unusual sounds or piercing noises, do not attempt to locate their source. Instead, move to a location where the sounds are not present.”

The US is not laying blame on the Chinese who say they are also investigating the situation. So far there is nothing that specifically links the Havana events with what is going on in China apart from “strange sounds” being involved.

Global Brain Initiative

Cultocracy note :

The variety of state sponsored ‘Brain Initiatives’ are not designed to improve the well being of the human race and treat brain disorders . They are closely aligned with the research and development of artificial intelligence (AI) and brain computer interfaces (BCI) , the pioneers will reap massive profits . Other organizations hiding in the shadows have more grandiose and sinister schemes in mind . There are certain governmental policy initiatives that always seem to transcend domestic politics .

Does the global race for advanced AI suggest a cat and mouse type scenario , or does is hint at a deeper form of global cooperation ? Probably the former , or if the latter who is pulling the strings ? Of course there is always the outside possibility that neuroscientists have knowledge of how the research could be perverted and are attempting to form an alliance to thwart any lurch to the dark side .

The mode of thinking behind the new gold rush is ‘if they have it , we must have it’ , advanced AI that is . If you found a large golden nugget would you share it with your fellow prospectors ? History tells us that this just does not happen .

If the goals are reached , where will that leave humanity itself ?

Human guinea pigs and research subjects will be required , there will be no need to volunteer .

Here’s how China is challenging the U.S. and European brain initiatives

SHANGHAI, CHINA—The nascent China Brain Project took another step toward reality last week with the launch of the Shanghai Research Center for Brain Science and Brain-Inspired Intelligence. The new center and its Beijing counterpart, launched 2 months ago, are expected to become part of an ambitious national effort to bring China to the forefront of neuroscience. But details of that 15-year project—expected to rival similar U.S. and EU efforts in scale and ambition—are still being worked out, 2 years after the government made it a priority.

Preparation for the national effort “was taking quite a long time,” says Zhang Xu, a neuroscientist and executive director of the new center here. So Beijing and Shanghai got started on their own plans, he says. China’s growing research prowess and an increasing societal interest in neuroscience—triggered in part by an aging population—as well as commercial opportunities and government support are all coming together to make this “a good time for China’s brain science efforts,” Zhang says.

Government planners called for brain research to be a key science and technology project in the nation’s 13th Five-Year Plan, adopted in spring 2016. The effort would have three main pillars, according to a November 2016 Neuron paper from a group that included Poo Mu-ming, director of Shanghai’s Institute of Neuroscience (ION), part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). It would focus on basic research on neural mechanisms underlying cognition, translational studies of neurological diseases with an emphasis on early diagnosis and intervention, and brain simulations to advance artificial intelligence and robotics. Support under the 5-year plan was just the start of a 15-year program, the group wrote.

Group affected by CIA brainwashing experiments wants public apology, compensation from government

Cultocracy note :

In their insane quest for power and profit , deep state organizations and their paymasters have committed some of the worst atrocities against human beings you can ever imagine . Much of the ‘work’ was experimental and all of the victims were non-consenting . The ‘research’ was a continuation of similar programs carried out by the Nazi’s in the concentration camps of WWII .

Similar programmes have been conducted in the UK .

Current research is centered around brain computer interfaces (BCI) and artificial intelligence (AI) . Other research is focused on nano technology , genetic manipulation and augmentation .

Most programmes are ongoing .

Survivors Allied Against Government Abuse includes victims in brainwashing experiments in Montreal

A group of Canadians affected by CIA brainwashing experiments conducted at McGill University’s Allan Memorial Institute met for the first time on Sunday to start organizing for a public apology and compensation from the federal government through a possible class-action.

Around 40 people gathered at a Montreal condo to share their stories, cry and support each other. The pain, many said, was palpable in the room.

“The government should offer an apology and there should be recognition of the injustice that was done,” says Gina Blasbalg, who became a patient at the Allan in her teens in 1959, and drove with her husband from Richmond, B.C., to attend the weekend meeting.

Survivors Allied Against Government Abuse (SAAGA), as the group calls itself, includes both victims and family members of people who were unwitting participants in brainwashing experiments conducted under the supervision of Dr. Ewen Cameron, director of the psychiatric hospital between 1943 and 1964.

Cameron, co-founder of the World Psychiatric Association and president of various other psychiatric associations over his career, ran “depatterning” and “psychic driving” experiments that attempted to erase a patient’s memories and reprogram them with new thoughts.

He tested experimental drugs like LSD and PCP, medically induced sleep for extended periods, and oversaw extreme forms of electroshock therapy and sensory deprivation. Many of his patient’s brains were then left damaged.

The federal government provided Cameron with more than $500,000 between 1950 and 1965 — $4 million in today’s dollars — along with a smaller amount of funding from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, using a front organization called the Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology.

Today, many people argue that Cameron’s experiments are part of the foundation for contemporary psychological torture techniques.

Electromagnetic Radiation Poses Threat to Wildlife

Most informed and educated people now accept the fact that non ionizing radiation poses serious health risks , to both ourselves and the wider natural environment , imagine sticking your head in a microwave oven . The thermal effects are well publicized , less well publicized are the effects on DNA and RNA , profits always come first .

A new report from EU funded Eklipse confirms this fact , especially in regard to the the disruption of natural magnetic fields used by birds for migration and also bees for navigation .

To quote from the report :

“By far the most advanced theoretical foundation concerns the effects of RF fields on magnetic orientation migratory birds. Currently, there is strong evidence that the sensor is based on radical pair intermediates (perhaps in a protein called Cryptochrome) which are naturally sensitive to magnetic fields in the radio frequency range. It is established that the magnetic compass of migratory birds can be disrupted by the weak RF background in larger cities (nT-intensities) but it is currently unclear which exact frequencies are most effective.

Furthermore, some studies have suggested that fields emanating from power lines also affect the magnetic sense of vertebrates but again it is unclear whether this is effect is specific to 50Hz -MF or to harmonics or even electric fields. More and more evidence is accumulating that mammals (e.g. bats and mice) have a magnetic sense which might be based on radical- pairs and as such will likewise be affected by RF. It remains to be tested whether disruption of a magnetic compass has real ecological consequences as animals make use of a variety of mechanisms for orientation.”

Insect life is also affected :

“Effects on insects tend to be often complex, typically variable in direction or effect size, and only sometimes adverse. Of the few scientifically rigorous laboratory experiments on model species (i.e. Drosophila) there is some evidence of exposure leading to cell damage or effects on individual development, locomotion, or reproduction.”

Plant life is also affected :

“Mainly Angiosperms. Significant changes have been demonstrated at cellular and molecular levels. Changes in oxidative metabolism are quite often reported~: increase in peroxidase activity, membrane state. Exposure to low level of 900 MHz (10 min, 5V/m) caused a rapid increase in stress-related transcript accumulation in tomato.”

“Terpene emission was reported to be enhanced by EMR and could also be considered as a marker of stress perception.”

The Eklipse research was also reported in a few MSM rags , maybe this marks a turn towards the general public and away from their establishment benefactors ? Probably not .

• Electromagnetic radiation from power lines (Telegraph)and phone masts poses ‘credible’ threat to wildlife, report finds
• Is our addiction to technology putting wildlife at risk? Experts warn electromagnetic radiation from WiFi and power lines poses a ‘credible threat’ to Earth’s species (Daily Mail)

The reports in the MSM could simply be a diversion from the multitude of military RADAR and LIDAR applications , ubiquitous in remote sensing systems . The carcinogenic effects of UV light for example are well documented , particularly skin cancer . That is even before we get to ‘ionospheric heating systems’ such as HAARP and terahertz systems .

Targeted non-ionizing radiation is currently used by deep state organizations and their affiliated crime gangs in a global campaign of experimentation , eugenics , oppression , neural manipulation , torture and assassination .

Quantum Superposition

The diagram below illustrates an interference pattern which is produced when a stream of particles , such as photons or electrons , are fired through two slits .

Physicists ask photons ‘Where have you been?’

Using a single particle accelerator we would expect that the single particle would do one of three things :

i) Hit the barrier
ii) Pass through the upper slit
iii) Pass through the lower slit

Either way you would not expect to see the interference pattern , which should only appear when a series of different particles interact with each other as they exit the barrier .

Not true .

Let’s assume that a single particle passes through one of the slits , the interference pattern still appears , why is this ? It is as if the single particle has split into two and passed through both barriers , or even spookier , it is as if the single particle is in two places at once . This is quantum superposition . In quantum mechanics a particle can be in one , two , or maybe even several places at the same time , or maybe even none at all . Further , it is theorized that a particle may even exist in every variation of it’s state and position , until it is actually observed .

An interesting aspect of quantum mechanics is that when you try to measure whether the particle has split , or whether it is in one place or the other , the whole system collapses and the interference pattern does not appear . The act of attempting to measure where the particle is , or how it behaves , directly affects the whole system . Even looking at a quantum system can affect it , so how do you measure something if you do not even know where it is ? This disruptive effect is known as Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle , if anything it illustrates that we are more connected than we care to imagine .

Heads I win , Tails you lose

To simplify this idea , imagine tossing a coin , looking away and letting it land , the coin can land on heads , tails , or even on it’s edge (unlikely , but possible) . Quantum superposition says that the coin now actually exists in all three states simultaneously , only when you look at the coin does the state of superposition collapse and the coin is revealed in a single position , i.e. heads , tails or on it’s edge .

Back to the Future

Recent research takes a different approach in that it measures a quantum system from both a forward perspective (preselection) and also take a retrospective approach (postselection) . The quantum system is presented with a specified outcome which can hopefully ‘measure’ where the particle superposition occurs . This is known as ‘Two-State Vector Formalism’ .

The image shows that the particle , in this case a photon , is in ‘some of the places some of the time’ , as opposed to all of the places all of the time . Which on the face of it does deflect from the theory that a particle does exist in all of it’s states at any given time .

What does this experiment and other similar experiments prove ? Not a lot really .

What it does show is that the act of choosing an outcome for the quantum system seems to affect the end result .

In real world terms it can be compared to selecting a result for a particular sports match ahead of the event , when the match ends , the result is exactly what you have previously predicted .

It may also hint at the possibility that what we imagine time to be in the real world , i.e. a linear concept unfolding in front of us , is something completely different in the quantum world .

The full article can be found at the link below :

• Quantum Physics May Be Even Spookier Than You Think

A few related experiments can be found at the links below :

• Experimental demonstration of a quantum shutter closing two slits simultaneously
• The Case of the Disappearing (and Re-Appearing) Particle

The video below may help to further explain this .

The Future

Quantum mechanics promises to revolutionize communications and computing , it also promises to connect the two together via artificial intelligence .

It appears that God does play dice .

It also appears that there are organizations that want to play God at dice .

Solar Powered Trashpresso Turns Plastic Waste into Tiles

Cultocracy note :

Arthur Huang and his company Miniwiz have developed a machine that can recycle plastics and create tiles that can be used in construction and for furniture , the system works using solar power .

I think the man deserves a medal or three . In modern times it seems that most technological developments are used to destroy the planet , wage war and consolidate the wealth and standing of the multitude of corrupt global power structures . It would seem that the poioning of the planet is part of their Résumé .

Individuals can lead where governments have (continuously) failed , it simply takes a bit of imagination .

Trashpresso

TRASHPRESSO

The TRASHPRESSO machines are housed on a 40-foot container platform that is movable anywhere by trailer truck. It is powered by a solar-charged energy storage unit housed on a separate 20-foot container platform.

The TRASHPRESSO compacts the recycling process into five simple steps: Shredding, washing, air drying, dehumidifying, and baking. In addition, an air and water filter minimizes the environmental impact of the operations.

From trash to tiles

The TRASHPRESSO can upcycle up to 50KG of waste per hour. Waste is converted into architectural tiles that have both a utilitarian and raw material value.

The tiles are very versatile and resistant, allowing for a wide variety of applications. They can be used decoratively as interior or exterior decoration finishes or serve as flooring.

When waste are compressed into the tile format, recyclable material is less bulky and therefore less costly to transport, facilitating transport to an industrial facility. At a recycling plant, the tiles can be once up-cycled through cycles such as yarning, injection, or extrusion.

The TRASHPRESSO can upcycle any thermoplastic that has a melting point lower than its burning point.
