“Smartdust is a system of tiny microelectromechanical systems that can detect light, temperature, vibration, magnetism, or chemicals. They are operated wirelessly on a computer network, can be used for medical or military surveillance purposes, and can be dispersed through the air via Chemtrails.”

So we are dealing with ubiquitous sensor dispersal (air, water, soil) to monitor large chaotic systems – first with intention to model their internal dynamics and then to cyber-steer them -, including life as another system layered within those natural systems. And in the center of all the systems of this planet, humans will position themselves as controllers of its axis mundi, commanding over performances of all material things by growing a Global Brain Network.
This ‘cephalization’ was already in the making as far as 1946:
Oliver L. Reiser’s The World Sensorium: The Social Embryology of World Federation 1946.

Below are some excerpts from Alison McDowell’s blog-post – https://wrenchinthegears.com/2022/05/07/scrappy-moms-against-the-world-brain-sometimes-stand-alone/ – in which she quotes from Reiser’s book and then comments on his vision and identifies the parts of his vision that have already been realized or are in the final stages:

“To facilitate the cosmic maturation of the World Brain it therefore rests with us to take the fate of biological evolution into our own hands and refashion human nature to meet the needs of the great society. I shall not here venture suggestions on how we may attain a creation control of conscious evolution, but content myself with the observation that only thus will the New Humanity come to inhabit the New Earth.”

Reiser then goes on to explain on page 188 that the development of this organ of “cephalization” will happen through strategic deployment of “social polarities.” It seems clear that social media was devised to serve as a tool for exactly this purpose, delivering precision content intended to keep people perpetually activated, divided, and in motion.

“What we have urged is this: that society can ‘get ahead’ only if it develops a head. Our appeal for cephalization – that is society must develop a unified action-is based on the general idea of biological dominance and subordination, which in turn is an example of polarity in nature. Many manifestations of the universe are polar in nature: centripetal-centrifugal forces operate universally; attraction and repulsion are twin activities; positive and negative electricity are found everywhere and are equally essential to the development of forms on all levels of evolution. And since society is a natural manifestation, it also must have its basic polarities. Indeed, social evolution itself seems to depend upon our ability to produce a balance, dynamic, spiraling movement in time toward some polarized objective.”

Page 190 features the statement “health must be the foundation of a successful planetary socialism.” On page 192 continues “a program based on health is so practical that any special interest groups would attack it at their peril,” and then on page 203 “health is a public responsibility; no one has a private right to be diseased.” So now the stage has been set for the World Health Organization’s long-anticipated pandemic treaty. A treaty that through the One Health protocol will lock natural life on Earth into a perpetual cybernetic game of behaviorist conditioning and data extraction.

Reiser describes the World Brain as needing a high-level of coordination to assert the social synthesis that will bring, as described on page 200, “loosely organized cell-colonies of the world – races – nations – religions – peoples” up to the standard of a “high-level organism.” He goes on to say that global guidance is required “we must foster the growth of those existing organizations that give promise of nourishing the world foetus; these planetary agencies must supply the morphological forces for the guidance of the embryo which will ultimately mature into a full-grown World Organism.” Against the backdrop of the strategically dropped Roe Vs. Wade polarizing leak, what is being “birthed” here? What intentions are being manifested? I don’t believe most people understand the narrative arc in which they are living.

The five functions of the World Brain as outlined on page 187 include: a world police force available for mobilization within an hour’s notice; a world program of food distribution; a world health service and system to global planning for basic needs to be met; a universal system of education to protect new social concepts; and a method of introducing changes that would permit effective isolation of any proposal deemed “ill advised” or “anti-humanistic.” The goal was a synthesis of capitalism and socialism with “responsible” use of technology, and I suspect blockchain identity was a central feature of their planned neural network system.

My days are very quiet now, though my mind remains busy sifting through clues and finding patterns. I closed the week mapping out RAND’s 2020 white paper on the rise of Noopolitik, where NGOs will deliver storylines around climate and the care of community and the commons that legitimize the Pentagon’s desire for permanent surveillance, the sensor-based neural network that AI needs to box our brains, script our thoughts, and sufficiently narrow our lived experience so that it can finally attempt to embody our humanity. Scattered among the text are references to transcendentalists, the human potential movement, communications theory, consciousness, and alternative economics.

We are approaching the synthesis phase of the Hegelian dialectic in which the devastating harm to the environment is sold to us as an amazing investment opportunity in which we can begin to self-actualize through strategic micro-investments from our meager UBI allowances into evidence-based solutionism where success is fleeting and only exists as data in motion on a dashboard.

Through token-based transacting we can help further “civilize” the world to the point that we shed our physical bodies and exist as substrate independent minds, suitable for space colonization where we can spread extractive systems of domination to such targets as asteroids, the moon, even Mars. At least that is the vision of Trent McConaghy, an engineer with expertise in “creative AI,” who apparently wants to tokenize the world so that it better fits the constraints of his amazing evolutionary algorithms. Not coincidentally, such tokens will also underpin the data economy and fuel his “sustainable” business venture Ocean Protocol.

I understand why most people do not want to step into this story. It’s overwhelming. To navigate it, you must believe in your heart that there is more than the material world conveyed to us by our senses. The last paragraph Reiser’s book reads as follows:

“When its foundations are planted solidly here on earth to tower upward into the heavens, humanism will then no longer be tied to the flat land of planal thinking: the new argonauts of psycho-social traveling will show us the way into a new dimension of reality, enabling mankind-growing through tensions, trials and suffering-to rise from the ancient biosphere into the upper reaches of a cultural ionosphere where the sweet sad music of humanity is transmuted by the alchemy of spherical harmonics into a refrain such as only the angels of heaven could have heard before.”

He paints a pretty picture, as with many a New Age Pied Piper, leading us away from tension and suffering toward an angelic new plane of existence. But I know that the harmonics of THIS “cultural ionosphere” have been engineered by DARPA and authorized for planetary citizenship use by the United Nations. The Noetic future dangled before us by RAND’s lackeys and renegade economists, and bioengineers is an unredeemable counterfeit.

So I take it that the sensors needed to run the ‘World Sensorium’ have already been deployed and are omnipresent.
Question remains opened if the sensors are already globally connected into World Brain network. If not, then I would suggest that they could be networked on web-3 block-chain architecture, supported by Kubernetes (K8s; previously known as Borg) and other solutions (Chainlink comes to mind) which is also proposed by Alison when she says: “[…] I suspect blockchain identity was a central feature of their planned neural network system.”.

If we are too late at stopping sensor deployment then we should focus on rejecting the block-chain infrastructure being deployed under the radar as base-architecture in various “solutions” for humanity’s immediate problems (originating with the same institutions/corporations offering cyber “solutions”).

In other words I suggest a shift in conversation:
less emotion-triggering talk about the sensors and increased focus on the underlying architecture connecting all the sensors which is still in the making (testing phase). I suggest that anyone who is presenting any kind of digital “solution” for any problem is asked the inevitable question: ‘which architecture does your software solution use to connect to other software solutions and which network it is running on’. If there is any web-3 or block chain intermediary present, the solution should be rejected offhand.
