Robots to Get Internet Cloud Brain: “Wikipedia For Robots”
New Internet communication system for robots to share information and learn from each other.

Some of us humans have become concerned about neuroscience research conducted under Obama’s BRAIN project, as well as similar research sponsored by the European Union in even greater amounts of money – it exceeds $1 billion combined. The goal is nothing short of decoding the human brain and discovering new ways to develop both narrative and pharmaceutical mind control.
Running parallel to this initiative is the marriage of robotics with artificial intelligence. The evolution of the humanoid robot is advancing by baby steps, but is coming of age rather quickly; so much so, that many experts see humans completely outsourced to robots by 2045 at the latest.
The most recent development sought by the European Union is even more startling: a cloud network where robots can do their own research, communicate with one another, and collectively increase their intelligence in a full simulation of human interaction.
I really wish I was making this up…
The project name makes it clear where the final frontier lies: RoboEarth. A team of scientists from 6 research institutes including Philips electronics and Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands have developed a prototype for an Internet “Wikipedia For Robots,”
The project seeks to create robots’ very own cloud: a vast network, database and computation engine “where robots can share information and learn from each other about their behavior and their environment.”
RoboEarth, then, is cloud storage and computing for robots: its database is intended to store knowledge created by both humans and robots in a robot-readable open format. To date, that knowledge is basic: maps to help mobile robots navigate; task information like how to pick up a cup; and object-recognition data such as digital models of real-world objects.
Currently the problem, according to robotics engineers, is that robots can perform well in very limited tasks, as directed, but do not perform well where environments require real-time problem solving and the split-second adaptability that humans can perform. This was made painfully clear in the well-funded DARPA Robotics Challenge, where even the winner was nothing more than a lumbering shell of clunking mechanics that could demonstrate brawn but not brains.
And while artificial intelligence has come a long way in raw power to match and even exceed the computational abilities of humans, there is still something severely lacking. The RoboEarth project believes it has identified that lacking component that could give “life” to robots: family learning – essentially the nurture part of the equation where nature can only be mimicked. Once established, some of the autonomous functions that have been implemented will transcend beyond merely self-directed communication, and will enter the sphere of evolutionary intelligence. Also employing the Internet of Things, researchers present the following scenario:
RoboEarth’s proof-of-concept demonstration is simple for humans, but hard for robots: serve fruit juice to a random patient in a hospital bed. In a fake hospital room at Eindhoven Technical University in the Netherlands, one robot mapped out the space, located the “patient’s” bed and a nearby carton of juice, then sent that data to RoboEarth’s cloud.
A second robot, accessing the data supplied by robot number one, unerringly picked up the juice and carried it to the bed.
Luckily – or unfortunately from the researchers’ point of view – the test ultimately failed when the juice was dropped on the way to the patient. Nevertheless, the concept of robotic cloud data transmission and access was seen as a success. This is all being imagined as a way to introduce the concept of robotic family caregivers:
The greying population means there is an urgent future need for robots to take over caring or household tasks. To enable robots to successfully lend a mechanical helping hand, they need to be able to deal flexibly with new situations and conditions. For example you can teach a robot to bring you a cup of coffee in the living room, but if some of the chairs have been moved the robot won’t be able to find you any longer. Or it may get confused if you’ve just bought a different set of coffee cups. (Source)
Learning from others is one of the ways that humans (and other sentient life forms) avoid a very dangerous and often inefficient route to developing their abilities beyond those of an autonomic type.
For those of us who are intrigued by the power of technology and would like to see it manifest in the most beneficial ways possible, this is one more sign that we must become involved in the dialogue of how this will ultimately be applied.
Here are just a few questions to consider; please add your own in the comment section.
- Given all of the revelations about data breaches and blatant violations by corporations and governments, can we be sure that this cloud system is secure?
- If robots can achieve the level of development that scientist have planned for them, are we ready to accept them socially?
- Do we give away part of our humanity when we turn over traditional human work and interaction to robots and artificial intelligence?
- And what happens if this experiment takes on a life of its own?

VIDEO — Terrence McKenna ADMITTED He Was A GOVERNMENT AGENT – Esalen Institute 1994
YouTube — 777RealHistory777
Sept 14, 2013
Though his followers will deny this forever, it is actually undeniable what has recently surfaced about Terrence McKenna in my opinion, and in the opinions of many others as well. McKenna was ALWAYS a liar about conspiracies and would belittle anyone who mentioned them, though he knew many of those subject matters were absolutely REAL according to his close friends. He seems to have been another Timothy Leery type of figure who has been handled since as far back as his CIA created 1960’s “counter culture” movement. There is much mystery surrounding his death also, but that is another story all together. **** Note that I am a MAJOR supporter of both marijuana and natural entheogens such as mushrooms…… BUT any famous guru figure in these so called “peace and love change the world” movements are usually some sort of agenda based agents / culture creation programs being carried out.*****
****** McKenna was also a major figure in some of the very early HYPE and PROPAGANDA LIES surrounding the so called Mayan prophecy of 2012, as his mid 1990’s appearance on the classic paranormal Sightings t.v. show was all based around his HYPE and SALES PITCH of a software program called Timewave Zero for 2012.******

MUST SEE — Mind Control – Remote Neural Monitoring: Daniel Estulin and Magnus Olsson on Russia Today
Magnus Olsson
July 13, 2013
Russia Today have broadcasted this, the best documentary of mind control,
produced by Daniel Estulin, Deste La Sombra (From the Shadows)…
[mirror of the video above]
[another mirror with a few minutes cut off]
With the original title “Control mental. El sueño dorado de los dueños del mundo” (Mind control. The golden dream of the world’s masters) — broadcasted to some 10 million people — was one of the biggest victories for victims of implant technologies so far. Thanks to Magnus Olsson, who, despite being victimized himself, worked hard for several years to expose one the biggest human rights abuses of our times – connecting people against their will and knowledge to computers via implants of the size of a few nanometers – leading to a complete destruction of not only their lives and health, but also personalities and identities.
Very few people are aware of the actual link between neuroscience, cybernetics, artificial intelligence, neuro-chips, transhumanism, the science fiction’s cyborg, robotics, somatic surveillance, behavior control, the thought police and human enhancement.
They all go hand in hand, and never in our history before, has this issue been as important as it is now.
One reason is that this technology, that begun to develop in the early 1950s is by now very advanced but the public is unaware of it and it goes completely unregulated. There is also a complete amnesia about its early development. The CIA funded experiments on people without consent through leading universities and by hiring prominent neuroscientists of that time. These experiments have since the 50s been brutal, destroying every aspect of a person’s life, while hiding behind curtains of National Security and secrecy but also behind psychiatry diagnosis.
The second is that its backside –mind reading, thought police, surveillance, pre-crime, behavior modification, control of citizen’s behavior; tastes, dreams, feelings and wishes; identities; personalities and not to mention the ability to torture and kill anyone from a distance — is completely ignored. All the important ethical issues dealing with the most special aspects of being a free human being living a full human life are completely dismissed. The praise of the machine in these discourses dealing with not only transhumanism ideals but also neuroscience today has a cost and that is complete disrespect, despise and underestimation of human beings, at least when it comes to their bodies, abilities and biological functions. The brain is though seen as the only valuable thing; not just because of its complexity and mysteries, but also because it can create consciousness and awareness. We’re prone to diseases, we die, we make irrational decisions, we’re inconsistent, and we need someone to look up to. In a radio interview on Swedish “Filosofiska rummet” entitled “Me and my new brain” (Jag och min nya hjärna), neuroscientist Martin Ingvar referred to the human body as a “bad frame for the brain”. Questions about individual free will and personal identity were discussed and the point of view of Martin Ingvar was very much in line with José Delgado’s some 60 years ago, and its buried history of mind control: we don’t really have any choice, we’re not really having a free will or for that matter any consistent personality. This would be enough reason to change humans to whatever someone else wishes. For example, an elite.
Another reason for why this issue dealing with brain implants is important of course is the fact that both the US and the EU pour billions of dollars and euros in brain research every single year, a brain research very focused on not only understanding the brain, but also highly focused on merging human beings with machines; using neuro-implants to correct behavior and enhance intelligence; creating robots and other machines that think and make autonomous intelligent decisions — just like humans do.
Ray Kurzweil, who’s predictions about future technological developments have been correct at least until now, claims that in 20 years, implant-technology has advanced that far that humanity has been completely transformed by it. We cannot know right now whether he’s prediction is right or wrong, but we have the right to decide on the kind of future we want. I do not know if eradicating humanity as we know it is the best future or the only alternative. Today, we might still have a choice.
Something to think about: Can you research the depths of the human brain on mice?

Brazilian Scientist: Ayahuasca/DMT Can Effectively Treat Cancer

Eduardo Schenberg, of the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, recently published a piece in Sage Journals, detailing his belief that Ayahuasca has cancer-fighting abilities, essentially encouraging the legalization of research in the field.
He says, “There is enough available evidence that Ayahuasca’s active principles, especially DMT and harmine, have positive effects in some cell cultures used to study cancer, and in biochemical processes important in cancer treatment, both in vitro and in vivo,” and “Therefore, the few available reports of people benefiting from Ayahuasca in their cancer treatment experiences should be taken seriously, and the hypothesis presented here, fully testable by rigorous scientific experimentation, helps to understand the available cases and pave the way for new experiments.”
“In summary, it is hypothesized that the combined actions of β-carbolines and DMT present in Ayahuasca may diminish tumor blood supply, activate apoptotic pathways, diminish cell proliferation, and change the energetic metabolic imbalance of cancer cells, which is known as the Warburg effect,” Schenberg wrote. “Therefore, Ayahuasca may act on cancer hallmarks such as angiogenesis, apoptosis, and cell metabolism.”
“If Ayahuasca is scientifically proven to have the healing potentials long recorded by anthropologists, explorers, and ethnobotanists, outlawing Ayahuasca or its medical use and denying people adequate access to its curative effects could be perceived as an infringement on human rights, a serious issue that demands careful and thorough discussion.”
Similar to the way cancer has been successfully treated with cannabis oil, or vitamin B-17 from the apricot pit, it is emerging as a viable possibility that Ayahuasca is another herbal, ancient cure to disease found in abundance in the new world of synthetic consumption.
Ayahuasca, as many viewers of this article likely know, is a psychoactive, ancient, sacred ancient brew, with deep roots in South American shamanic practice. Since at least 500 BC, South American shamans have used Ayahuasca for ceremonial purposes, and as a medicine of many functions.
Many people believe that DMT is created in the pineal gland of human beings when we dream, when we are born, and when we die. Critics of this theory say there is no evidence to back up these claims, but as of 2013, studies from the University of Michigan have shown that indeed dimethyltryptamine is created in the pineal glands of rats, and with the biological similarities us mammals share, it is very likely that DMT is synthesized in our pineal glands as well. According to Dr. Rick Strassman, author of the critically acclaimed book DMT- The Spirit Molecule, the human body metabolizes DMT rapidly, almost eager to consume the substance. Seretonin, the primary source of pleasure for us human beings, created in our brains and bodies daily of course, is 5-hydroxytryptamine, almost chemically identical to dimethyltryptamine. Yet, the US government classifies this molecule that may be part of our very being, as a schedule I, highly illegal drug.
DMT is a very complex substance, with complex experiences had by those who consume it, complex origins, and many, many functions. One must do their own hard research on Ayahuasca and DMT, as explaining a good depth of it would be too much for this article. Many of you who have read this far, probably already know what you need to know about Ayahuasca/DMT, as the popularity of it is skyrocketing.
Adam Winstock, founder of the Global Drugs Survey, claims the drug has ‘a larger proportion of new users’ compared to these other powerful drugs.
He says this suggests ‘its popularity may increase’.
It should be noted that Ayahuasca/DMT has characteristics similar to almost no ‘drugs’ except perhaps psilocybin mushrooms. Psilocin (what psilocybin metabolizes into), is also almost identical to chemicals already in our brains, similarly metabolized quickly by the body, more characteristic of a vitamin than an intoxicant.

MUST SEE — MARK DICE BEHAVING VERY STRANGELY/POSSESSED
CourageousNerd z
Jan 31, 2014
[Potent News editor’s note: This video comes as a shock to me, especially because I’ve been posting many Mark Dice videos the past year or two. I had to re-watch this video 3 or 4 times. If this is some kind of joke then it’s not funny. When this “Mark Dice” wants to be funny he can be quite funny. This doesn’t seem to be his “style” of comedy as far as I’m concerned.
But then again, what is his style of comedy? If he’s constantly under control in some way like this then does it not follow that his regular style is also synthetic and part of the act. Has anyone seen Mark Dice respond to this video being out there? I’m surprised I’m only finding out about this now. He supposedly posted this video himself to his own youtube, and it’s clear from watching the video that Mark Dice knows he’s being videotaped, so this is not some kind of hacking job which has found him just hanging around spaced-out at his desk doing goofy stuff. He doesn’t even look like he’s reading anything while he is staring blankly and I must say the sudden smile at one point seems extremely out of place/character and noteworthy, as does the occasional sticking his tongue out like a snake, the abnormally zen-like extreme fluidity with which he performs the actions that he appears to be getting somehow cued to perform, and other odd gestures seem out of place.
This is downright strange behavior by almost anyone’s account and it’s harder to appreciate it if you don’t pay attention to the entire video. If anyone has any updates on this or has seen Mark Dice respond to criticism of this video, please don’t hesitate to post that here as a comment for our open-sourced investigations or email me (via this contact form) with a link. I sincerely can’t see Mark Dice doing this as a joke, and I’ve seen many Mark Dice videos.
This is definitely creepy and certainly reminds me of similar videos I’ve seen of other celebrities like Al Roker, Eminem, and Bill Clinton.
I’m done subscribing to Mark Dice’s youtube until I see some explanation for this absurd behavior that describes this bizarre content more accurately than the current model of demonic possession or something similar. My email is flooded enough as it is and I can keep tabs on the guy without “voting” for him with my subscription. As far as I’m concerned, this is a wake-up call, until someone can convince me otherwise, I’m going to practice more discernment and listen to my gut more.
I mean, for a deeper analysis of this situation I’ll say I enjoy calling individuals out for their stupidity as much as the next person (when it’s called for) and I don’t always have the energy to cover events or grand ideas, but it seems like almost all Mark Dice ever did was ridicule individuals and the masses for having fallen so low. While I do not see that as horrible in and of itself, it is beginning to become apparent to me that it is unbalanced to strictly focus on that type of coverage/thinking all the time. The attitude that Mark Dice displays and the spirit with which he spreads awareness is almost the opposite of JoyCamp‘s apparent philosophy/stance, for instance, which is that that the unfortunate reality at the end of the day is that we need and depend on these “zombies” that we constantly laugh at, despite how difficult living with them can be. In my view, it is how we perform in light of challenges in our lives which often earns us respect among our peers, not strictly how we perform when everything is going great for us. We are not meant to have everything going great for us all the time.
It is easy to hate on the ignorant masses that much. It is more difficult to see the lesson inherent in the experience and to see that we are not that different from those who choose to ignore valuable information that is available. Humanity didn’t get this way overnight.
It is far more productive to focus on that valuable information than it is to focus on how many people failed to absorb that valuable information. Let them fail, as long as justice is served. Let them waste their energy. I’m not saying be heartless, but if a person doesn’t want to change, it’s not right for you to force the change especially if they are not harming you. In addition, they’ll feel more proud of themselves and confident in their abilities if they took the opportunities available to them with their own volition. Also, one appreciates the light more when one has had time to allow their eyes to adjust to the darkness. Many of these people need to truly appreciate quite how dark and dis empowered they’ve allowed their so-called lives to become. This is a necessary step for many of them to make the change to improve. You can lay the opportunities down for people and if they don’t take them you are wasting your time if you don’t either upgrade your approach or move on to the opportunities that await you.
I haven’t advanced that much more than Mark Dice with respect to this realization. I admittedly sometimes put people on the spotlight a little too much as well, and sometimes I put events on the spotlight when I feel they deserve to be and that’s fine as far as that goes, but ideas/knowledge are governing our behavior (more than individuals or events are) and it is most productive to illustrate this or at least make that our highest priority, especially when the very concept of an objective truth and an objective morality are constantly ridiculed and attacked from many different angles via many different groups who are using many different tools/methods to occult this valuable information. It is the work of people like Jan Irvin and Mark Passio which has helped me arrive at these conclusion and I can’t give them enough credit for this. Sometimes it is called-for to expose an individual and sometimes karma/justice entails that a person’s ego gets beaten down by scrutiny and that people held accountable for their wrong-doing, but what I’m trying to say is that focusing on individuals almost 100% of the time would be unbalanced and we would miss an opportunities to examine the root causes of problems and to hence address what is causing those individuals to behave in such unnatural and ignorant/immoral ways.
So, while I agree with “Mark Dice” about the extent of the damage done to the mass psyche and how absurd it is that the average American has let his/her mind deteriorate to the point that many might, for example, sign a petition calling for repealing the Bill of Rights (which Mark Dice has actually convinced the “sheep” to do at times), I ultimately resonate with JoyCamp’s views much more and I see their conclusions & approach as more sound because I agree that we really do have an obligation to give these “sheep” the benefit of the doubt before writing them off. You see, while Mark Dice did use comedy, Mark Dice never mentioned the crucial Trivium Method and never tried to teach it to any of us, as far as I know, nor did he appear to have an understanding of it for himself… He didn’t try to help the masses (to use this tool to) categorize information and identify tricks/lies. Instead, he simply laughed at them for falling for the tricks/lies and exploited their weaknesses.
Divide and conquer is an old strategy.]
