IN Answer to "Finding Jesus' Scrotum in the Shroud of Turin" Buzzfeed 3.26.17
The Question:
“It is not possible to assert with any degree of certainty that Jesus was male as we now define maleness.” - Dr. Susannah Cornwall.
The Author:
Candida R. Moss (born 26 November 1978) is an English academic who is Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity on the theology faculty of the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana in the United States. A graduate of Oxford and Yale universities, Moss specializes in the study of martyrdom in the early Christian church.
This article represents the Cultural Marxist conquest of Roman Catholic Academia. This Notre Dame professor could write about, Dr. Susannah Cornwall, a truly sad theological Christian-deconstructionist, who wrote the book: "Un/Familiar Theology: Reconceiving Sex, Reproduction and Generativity, London, Bloomsbury T&T Clark, 2017". . . .
Moss writes of Cornwall, "Her arguments prompted some fierce pushback, but should not be quickly dismissed." Remember that phrase, "should not be quickly dismissed." It is a Cultural Marxist trope, a LIE to its core, but oft repeated when being challenged to entertain and accept the mythological creations of deconstructionism, that is the assault on the Church and Traditional Western Civilization.
But is this true that such things should not be quickly dismissed? Some things are so ludicrous that SANE people would NATURALLY dismiss them -However, Modern Academia and the Culture of Ignorance and Death it has created is NOT sane.
Moss continues, "Dr. Cornwall is an established scholar and one of the global leaders in the theology of intersex. Her observations reveal a great deal about our own assumptions." Did you know that "intersex" had a theology?
What were her assumptions? to wit:
“It is not possible to assert with any degree of certainty that Jesus was male as we now define maleness.” Correctly observing that it is difficult to speak definitively about the genitalia of an unmarried person with no children, she added, “There is no way of knowing for sure that Jesus did not have one of the intersex conditions which would give him a body which appeared externally to be unremarkably male, but which might nonetheless have had some ‘hidden’ female physical features.”
I have written much about the penchant of modern theologians to create "Jesuses" tailor formed to their own image, sexual proclivities, and pacifist and deconstructionist philosophies. (The Jesus Seminar being the classic example) So why would we be surprised that the sexual nonspecific fantasies of "genderism" would find a need to assault Jesus' maleness?
No surprise here, this is totally predictable. First, they turned Jesus into a non-deity, merely a pacifist and theosophical "wisdom teacher," (this is the Jesus most Protestants know and accept) next they homosexualized him, (this is the Jesus of the old Gay Agenda) next they debauched him into a bi-sexual pederast, (this is the first iteration of the Jesus of the new pagan-hedonism) boffing the young disciple John Beloved while keeping sexual company with Mary Magdeline. The latest, they pictured him in orgy scenes with his "best buds." They have also pictured him as a eunuch and now as a sexually ambiguous transgender. I can't wait for the movie.
I can just hear Handel's Massiah conformed to this dementia, "And unto her was given a sexually ambiguous trans-gender. And IT shall reign forever and ever. Queeng of Queengs, and Lordess of Lordesses." My God these people are insane! Yet they are being supported by BILLIONS of Globalist/Cultural Marxist Dollars. Supposed "CATHOLIC" theologians tell us we should take them seriously and Politicians speak with arrogant moral superiority about the need to "finance our much-vaunted colleges and universities.
How much of Modern Academia has become Cultural Marxist Deconstructionist ROT? Answer . . . TRUTHFUL Answer - MOST of it.
My wife said to me this morning, "Why do you waste your time paying any attention to these people?" Sadly that is typical, the lack of understanding that the Future AGENDA is being written and constructed in Western Academia that has turned purely Luciferian (NOT Satanist) but, "Enlightened" and devoid all of ties to TRUTH. There is not a movement or aspect of the Christian-Deconstruction Agenda, which has created the POST-Christian era, that was not first FORMED in Academia. They are literally writing the agenda. Ask yourself, which came first, Western human beings unable to identify themselves by their biological reality, male sex or female sex? Or the decades of mythological "gender studies" at Luciferian Institutions, purporting to be institutions of "higher learning."
The Motive, The Blueprint, The Icons of The New World Order Wednesday, July 25, 2012
New Atlantis and Luciferianism
I recently re-read Francis Bacon's "New Atlantis" his homage to a Scientistic Dictatorship/New World Order, complete with an unelected, despotic-enlightened ruling elite, and high priests that were scientists. I read this first more than forty years ago and had forgotten his description of the grand Icon Hall where were statues of every significant inventor, which were venerated by the people. It was amazing that Bacon created a mythical "christianized" tower of Babel that we are living inside today. The fact that he saw into this age so clearly is not a matter of him being a prophet. It is a matter that the ruling Elite have taken much care to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy. Bacon couched his arrogant Utopia inside a plot of Apostolic "magic" preformed by the Apostle Bartholomew, as a propaganda cover to make his Luciferian scheme look Christian. And a great portion of Christianity has become just that, Luciferian that is: removed from the reality of Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit, and formed in alliance with the spirit, power and ruler of THIS world in this age, who is Lucifer. No lesser lights than Father Alexander Schmemann +++ and his son-in-law Father Thomas Hopko, both at different times dean of Saint Vladimir's Orthodox Seminary observed in different decades, "the church" meaning the Eastern Orthodox Church was now at its lowest period in history. Any 'orthodox' Roman Catholic voice will admit the same thing of the Roman Church; some will say second only to the 15th and 16th centuries. Protestants/Evangelicals do not gloat because things are worse in your quarter. The great apostasy of our day is no small thing, with so-called "lights" of the Church teaching in the dialectic of Political Correctness and bowing to the Malthusian forces, the primacy of the Scientistic Dictatorship Elite and even cooperating with the marxist/socialist/sharia compliant agenda of the New World Order - a Luciferian enterprise. Father Hopko recently admitted that at the highest levels of "the church" again referring specifically to The Eastern Orthodox Church, "We have to admit most of it is just not Christian anymore. When you quote from the New Testament some very well known Orthodox teachers and hierarchs look at you like you are some kind of fundamentalist or something." I can show you tome after tome from Christian writers, even Orthodox writers, extolling the virtues of the goals of "The New World Order" bowing to the so-called deep wisdom of material slavery contained in D.N.A. research, (a propaganda ploy) all aimed at trying to Christianize the destruction of moral sanity, promote the Gay Agenda by the acceptance of slavery to "naturalism" (a new philosophy that could be called"material/gnosticism") as they usher in the new and more powerful anti-christs of our age. Bacon's description of the structure of his utopia, exactly fits the structure of the present New World Order. In his version, the wise men, with the aid of the "experts" rule by fiat, for the good of all. Of course in Bacon's wild fantasy these leaders are pillars of benevolent love and the government is totally without corruption down to the least minor official, who preforms his duties with meticulous courteous seriousness. It is a land totally without want. As you can see even though the structure has been realized in the form of the harmonious actions of the main actors, the United States Federal Government (USA), The British Royal Academy of Science, The International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Trilateral Commission, The World Bank, The Federal Reserve, The United Nations Education, Scientific and Culture Organization, The United Nations Proper, The Council On Foreign Relations, The Bilderberg Group, The Club of Rome, The Muslim Brotherhood, like the great god Hydra - it is one. (Seeing the cooperation between the NWO and the Muslim Brotherhood in the last decade and particularly and glaringly in the last two years we have to conclude that the NWO has sanctioned the MB and taken it under its wings.) However, contrary to Francis Bacon's fantasy, rather than wise men having created paradise, evil, greedy, arrogant, power hungry men are creating greater and greater levels of hell on earth. Rather than the bastions of education and science being about discovery of truth for the benefit of people, they institute technological apartheid. Massive technological advancement of the Scientistic Elite are hidden under secrecy, claimed for the purpose of "national security"; every major discovery is first weaponized, and its peaceful uses NOT shared. Bacon's Christianized Tower of Babel with all its wonderful and good motives was derailed by the prince of this world, co-opted by evil where for centuries now good men having believed a lie have worked tirelessly (and still do) in the employ of evil men who had casted their lot with the primary evil that inhabits this planet, Lucifer, his killing agent, Satan, and every demonic angel and fallen spirit in their Cabal. The tower that they have erected is a grand killing machine, granting physical power to Lucifer, allowing him to project power into the physical world he himself does not have right nor power to project on his own. Ever wondered why if Lucifer hates humanity so, why he just doesn't wipe it out? Were God's mercy and protection removed from humankind, humanity would be extinct in a day or two. Spiritual evil is restrained in this age, unable to produce man's extinction. However, God granted to men free will, and the ability to physically act in this world. Now, delusional men who deny Lucifer's existence, empower him. The shadowy leaders, the real power-core of this material-mechanism of the New World Order are of no delusion, they know Lucifer exists and honor him, having made pact with him. If you doubt "The Culture of Death" that is the goal of these Malthusian mad men, do your own research, don't take my word for it. They have financed 1.6 Billion abortions in the world in the last thirty years, purposely retarded development in the "developing nations" allowing tens of millions and maybe more to die of privation, starvation, wars, genocides, and diseases that have long ago been conquered, for which there are easy and inexpensive cures. This is technological apartheid, compulsory sterilization, abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide, and euthanasia for the old. It is to this Scientistic Dictatorship Elite, a Luciferian Killing Mechanism to which we are now enslaved, via compulsory taxation of Obama Care. Thank you very much, Chief Justice Roberts. While the SDE predicts doomsday, claiming limited resources they purposely stifle agricultural modernization in developing countries. This planet at the moment produces a mere fraction of the possible food it can, and manufacture capacities of every kind operate at a tiny percentage of capacity. The supposed doomsday scenario vis a vis oil is found to be a fraud, since abiotic oil (oil from non-biological sources) is the second most plentiful liquid on the planet. The Malthusian's predictions of doomsday have one motivation and it is the motivation of Satan - (he who destroys mankind) - and that motivation is murder of as many humans as possible in the shortest amount of time while not being discovered for the murdering mad men they are. Charles Darwin himself incorporated the Luciferian, Malthus' killing philosophy into his own theory, and birthed "social darwinism" upon which the motive of the SDE is based and Francis Bacon gave the frame work to create the apparatus for that murdering enterprise. Before it is too late we need to "know our enemy" and our enemy's methods and stop cooperating with it. The great "culling" of humankind has been underway for decades and we deny it and ignore it. Malachi Martin the famous author and exorcist, talked in an interview on Coast to Coast more than a decade ago about the Luciferian Evil that follows families. He described how in many families huge demonic evil is intrinsic, as the younger generation is literally initiated into the reality of the demonic "helper" from an early age. When you trace the Luciferian Darwins, generations before Charles Darwin, and the subsequent generations you will see the murderous influence they have been and they are inbred with the Huxley family following the same story. The first head of UNESCO was a murderous eugenicist a descendant of both Charles Darwin and Thomas Huxley. And of course, both Huxley and Darwin (who were best friends) were disciples of Malthus. Look at the history of the Rothchilds, the Rockefellers; I could name a list of key family lines whose contributions are celebrated by a civilization gone insane. I would like to share with you a visual created by the same blood line as Frances Bacon, a direct descendant of Francis Bacon's half brother, who oddly enough happens to be named also Francis Bacon. He spent his life visually portraying the disdain and utter hatred that family-evil holds for humanity. When you want to think of the hatred for humanity held by Lucifer and his Scientistic Dictatorship Elite's, Murderous Malthusian New World Order (of which Obama Care is a part) remember these very graphic IKONS of that hatred. If you doubt that men have gone mad, remember that this pure demonic shit sells for tens of millions of dollars inside the cabal of the Scientistic Dictatorship Elite.
Hear this Francis Beacon describe the absolute uselessness of human existence.

A realistic assessment of the state of Evolutionary "Science" and the massive advancement of the technological BEAST.
The Scientific argument against Evolutionary Darwinism/Naturalism is complete. Evolution/Naturalism as a theory for the Origins of Life has been thoroughly debunked, not by religious zealots, as the argument goes but by Science asking the simple question, From Whence Comes Information?
Many of us by reason have known this for some time, in fact for the entire period that science/naturalism entered "the party of the insane," making unproved claims from thin air and passing their convoluted myth-making off as "science." Such Mind Control psychological operation is NOT science but is rather "political" and 'theological" and has never been anything more than a baseless "philosophy" with history going back to the ancient Greek Philosophers whose arguments were as simplistic and baseless as 19th and 20th century naturalist's mythology.
As a "religious zealot," as I am labelled by those who argue dead and defamed theories of evolution because I have met and serve Jesus Christ and none other and accept as self-evident the words of Saint Paul saying"
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Romans 1:16-20 (King James Version)" As a "zealot" I never bought into the idea of evolution except where it is proved and that is the ability of living beings to adapt over time, and sometimes over extremely short periods, when life becomes very easy for them, as the Russian Gray Fox experiments prove. But this adaptation is within certain parameters of "kinds" to the mandates of survival in changing environments, or ease. Removed from the necessity of survival, domesticated, cared for and feed in comfort the Gray Fox in a few generations flowered into multi-colored and even some flop eared, cute little creature full of life and curiosity. Sadly, money restraints at end of the Soviet era caused the necessity to "eliminate" hundreds of these animals because of lack of funds to feed them.

But to the overarching thesis of "naturalism," I am very pleased to have lived long enough to see "Naturalism" disproved by positive facts of science beyond all reasonable doubt. If you doubt my word, read:
Human Devolution: A Vedic Alternative to Darwin's Theory, by Michael A. Cremo The Devil's Delusion: ATHEISM and its SCIENTIFIC PRETENSIONS, by David Berlinski
I offer these two books first because they are from a decidedly non-Christian perspective yet both contain the wisdom of Saint Paul's quote above, to great and greater degrees and are written by a Hindu and a Secular vocally-non-religious Jew.
For the full story read: Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution by Michael J Behe And,
SIGNATURE IN THE CELL: DNA AND THE EVIDENCE FOR INTELLIGENT DESIGN, by Stephen C. Meyer. I have just finished these last two and I can say without doubt that ANYONE who takes an honest read of these four books will know in their gut "Naturalism" is finished, and Darwinism/Naturalism are . . . or should be relegated to the dust bin of history.
The constant argument of the Atheistic Evolutionary Movement has been that Christians are anti-intellectual and anti-science.
NOTHING is further from the truth since Modern Science is primarily a product inside the history of Christianity, and took a decidedly anti-Church turn around the period of the so-called "Enlightenment." The majority of pioneer scientists of history WERE Christian and a great many clergy to boot.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Roman_Catholic_cleric-scientists As history and science has now confirmed, most of what was gained by the Protestant/Enlightenment anti-church revolution was merely anti-God, anti-Science, anti-Reason, in fact a sojourn into the realm of fantasy and delusion of which the Roman Church has not been immune. Modern Science has unleashed upon the world a massive new paradigm of technology that like all tools, firearms, dynamite, nuclear power, microwave radiation, sound and light frequency weapons, is a two edge sword, able to kill and heal, and such power is now increasingly placed in the hands of those whose foundation for morality and ethics, whose appreciation for the wonder of the human person has been destroyed by their atheistic/naturalist philosophy.
One of the really major surprises in this whole five century saga (and I reference Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Darwin etc) has been that just as the actual empirical observation of REAL science has disproved them, in the vital aspects that matter to Christianity, that is as it effects the idea of mankind created in God's image, the Roman Church in the late 20th and early 21st century and even some famous Orthodox Christian voices have embraced the errors. (Most Main Line Protestants capitulated to Darwinism decades ago.) One has to wonder why? The answer is of course as already stated, these brain dead errors are "political" and "theological" to bolster a world without God, to free man from obvious moral constraints, to make man his own creator, holding in his hands his evolutionary future, without moral constraints or reference to God or God's image in mankind. Many of these same deniers of TRUE SCIENCE have as their motive the relegation of Christianity to something other than Ultimate Truth, the reduction of Christian Truth to just one competing religious mythology in a world-supermarket of religious thought. Why?
For that answer, read the books of Dr Ray Kurzweil: "How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed"
"Transcend: Nine Steps to Living Well Forever" "The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology" "The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence" Ray is Google's Chief engineer with unlimited funds to "create the singularity" where humankind will morph into the Borg of Star Trek fame, become a single interconnected mind, cybernetically connected to "all consciousness." The bastardization of the IKON of God-the human person, into something other than human. He has written honestly about how difficult it will be to tell where humanity ends, and the technological beast begins.
In case you think I am exaggerating or an "alarmist" this from Time Magazine February 10th 2011: "But Kurzweil would spend much of the rest of his career working out what his demonstration meant. Creating a work of art is one of those activities we reserve for humans and humans only. It's an act of self-expression; you're not supposed to be able to do it if you don't have a self. To see creativity, the exclusive domain of humans, usurped by a computer built by a 17-year-old is to watch a line blur that cannot be unblurred, the line between organic intelligence and artificial intelligence.
"That was Kurzweil's real secret, and back in 1965 nobody guessed it. Maybe not even him, not yet. But now, 46 years later, Kurzweil believes that we're approaching a moment when computers will become intelligent, and not just intelligent but more intelligent than humans. When that happens, humanity — our bodies, our minds, our civilization — will be completely and irreversibly transformed. He believes that this moment is not only inevitable but imminent. According to his calculations, the end of human civilization as we know it is about 35 years away." http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2048299,00.html
What can be the motivation of those using Modern Science/Technology for the ultimate goal to "eliminate human civilization"? What can it mean, but the ushering in of a period of Technological Feudalism beyond what any human could imagine or cope - a Techno-Utilitarian-Civilization supposedly with "machines in control" rendering most of humanity needless. I say "supposedly with machines in control" because this will be the lie that "machines are in control." Rather the owners of the technology will be in total control . . . in control of an enslaving technology that has been massively hidden from us, classified, militarized and removed from the normal human's experience or control . . . a technology where we are its subjects, if indeed we are allowed life at all.
You read puff-pieces in the academic and popular science press and you believe that you have a handle on the exponential increase of the power held by the elite, and truly you DO NOT. This exchange will give you a hint at how technology has been purposely removed from the average human, developed in secret, and held by the same people who presently control all of Western Civilization, the people who literally own the governments and have enslaved normal people through generational debt.
+++ Piano Butch Robinson The level of A.I. development is Top Secret, militarized and light years ahead of what they are telling us.
Bernard Vallandingham Is there any way to verify that the military is light years ahead, other than that it is probable?
Piano Butch Robinson I just wrote you an answer that caused my browser to crash - no joke. So let me try it another way. History is the key and understanding of the knowledge curve, the fact that all knowledge is doubling in shorter and shorter periods of time and that 99% of that knowledge is withheld from us. We live in a 1940s world, (1940s where technological advances were already massively suppressed) here in the 21st century we are given trinkets of technology to play with, phones, computers etc, when the Corporate/Government entity has withheld nearly all advances.
If you think carefully about it, the home and life of my grandfather 1890s and the home and life of my father 1950s were light years different. But my home and the common home today is really not very different at all, from that 1940s home, except that we have these trinkets - but have to work much harder, for much longer, for less. Yet in the period of 1900 to 1950 human knowledge doubled three times. It doubled again in the 60s, was doubling then about every decade, then doubling every five years, now every 13 months. The futurists say that it will be doubling every TWELVE HOURS shortly.
NONE of this vast expansion of knowledge has been shared with us. The chart below doesn't touch the reality.
Use this Mental Picture: If you made all of human technological advancement from fire to steam engine technology of the 1840s a graph line three blocks long, by 1840 the line would have raised one quarter inch from the base line. However, in that decade the line took a turn upward, almost at a 90 degree angle and is now some five miles in the sky. We were and are allowed to view and use about the first two inches of that technological advancement. My God man we are still driving internal combustion automobiles, and paying enormously for energy, when the technology for free energy has been known since the 1920s - but they will kill you if you try to develop methods of using it. The KGB files briefly opened in the 1990s told the story of Viktor Schauberger's “Implosion Machine” producing light and heat, and mechanical motion, with only air and water. It was developed and used in the "flying saucers" developed by the NAZI PRIOR to WWII. Yet we are still enslaved to energy prices and driving internal combustion machines.
If you have slogged through what I have written here, you may be wondering why the excursion across the defamed "science" of Darwinism coupled with the foray into an absurd and beastly future. I hope you quickly see that the latter is based upon the former, making the only hope for mankind, a return to the Judeo/Christian Truth that man is created in God's image, not to be enslaved, bastardized, mutated, or "evoluted" into the demonic imagery of The Borg. This awareness of man's unique place in the universe of things offered by the Reality of the Creator God, who created man in his own image, is the ONLY possibility of saving mankind from HIMSELF, from his own demonic creativity, from inventing himself into obsolescence and suffering extermination or abject slavery for the benefit of the Luciferian owners and controllers of a hybrid tecno-human beast the likes of Kurzweil are creating.
Scientists join Elon Musk & Stephen Hawking, warn of dangerous AI
RT
4-5 minutes
Hundreds
of leading scientists and technologists have joined Stephen Hawking and
Elon Musk in warning of the potential dangers of sophisticated
artificial intelligence, signing an open letter calling for research on
how to avoid harming humanity.
The open letter, drafted by the Future of Life Institute and
signed by hundreds of academics and technologists, calls on the
artificial intelligence science community to not only invest in
research into making good decisions and plans for the future, but
to also thoroughly check how those advances might affect society.
The letter’s authors recognize the remarkable successes in
“speech recognition, image classification, autonomous
vehicles, machine translation, legged location and
question-answering systems,” and argue that it is not
unfathomable that the research may lead to the eradication of
disease and poverty. But they insisted that “our AI systems
must do what we want them to do” and laid out research
objectives that will “help maximize the societal benefit of
AI.”
The document of research priorities says that future AI could
potentially impact society in areas such as computer security,
economics, law, and philosophy, and highlight many concerns for
communities. For instance, scientists suggested that AI should be
developed to analyze how workers – and their wages – would be
affected if parts of the economy become automated.
They also suggested looking into various issues involving AI that
need to be considered before breakthroughs are made that are
considered beneficial to society: Can lethal autonomous weapons
be made to comply with humanitarian law? How will AI systems be
constrained over privacy rights when it comes to obtaining data
from surveillance cameras, phone lines, and emails?
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has repeatedly voiced
concerns about artificial intelligence, saying it could be more
dangerous than nuclear weapons.
“I’m increasingly inclined to think there should be some
regulatory oversight maybe at the national and international
level, just to make sure that we don’t do something very
foolish,” he said.
Musk has invested in companies developing AI, and he advises
“to keep an eye on them.”
Additionally, a group of scholars from Oxford University wrote in
a blog post last year that “when a machine is ‘wrong,' it can
be wrong in a far more dramatic way, with more unpredictable
outcomes, than a human could. Simple algorithms should be
extremely predictable, but can make bizarre decisions in
'unusual' circumstances."
World famous physicist Stephen Hawking, who relies on a form of
artificial intelligence to communicate, told the BBC that if
technology could match human capabilities, “it would take off
on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing
rate.”
He also said that due to biological limitations, there would be
no way that humans could match the speed of the development of
technology.
“Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution,
couldn't compete and would be superseded,” he said. “The
development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end
of the human race.”
The document is signed by many representatives from Facebook,
Google, Skype, and artificial intelligence companies DeepMind and
Vicarious. Academics from many of the world’s most prestigious
universities have also signed it, including those from Cambridge,
Oxford, Harvard, Stanford, and MIT.

Top Google executive predicts end of the internet
Published time: January 23, 2015 07:35 Edited time: January 23, 2015 16:21
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Google guru Eric Schmidt gave an answer regarding the evolution of the web. “I will answer very simply that the internet will disappear,” Schmidt said on Thursday.
“There will be so many IP addresses, … so many devices, sensors, things that you are wearing, things that you are interacting with that you won’t even sense it, it will be part of your presence all the time,” heexplained. “Imagine you walk into a room, and the room is dynamic. And with your permission and all of that, you are interacting with the things going on in the room.”
“A highly personalized, highly interactive and very, very interesting world emerges,” Schmidt concluded.
At the panel, dubbed “The Future of the Digital Economy”, he was speaking with Vodafone CEO Vittorio Colao, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.
Vodafone’s Chief Executive Officer Vittorio Colao agreed with Schmidt, comparing the internet with“water, oxygen” in an “ultra-dense connectivity situation.”
However, a group of Harvard professors depicted a much more grim Orwellian world, AFP reported on Thursday.
“Privacy as we knew it in the past is no longer feasible... How we conventionally think of privacy is dead,”said Margo Seltzer, a professor in computer science at Harvard University.
Sophia Roosth, a Harvard’s genetics researcher, said: “It's not whether this is going to happen, it's already happening... We live in a surveillance state today.”
Depicting a terrifying world, where mosquito-sized robots fly around stealing samples of people’s DNA, she said, “We are at the dawn of the age of genetic McCarthyism,” referring to “witch-hunts” during Second Red Scare in the 1950s in America.
+++ No insanity exposed here. Let me ask you, is this the sort of "creator" you trust to create the next generation of humanoids?
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
