Bionic Chip and Mind Control - Social and religious implications...

It's the size of a grain of rice. An implantable chip, being developed by the D.A.R.P.A would make it possible to control the feelings of all humans on earth with the click of a button. Emotions, pleasure and pain can be controlled and even caused with this technological wonder, which is scientifically called MMEA (Multiple Micro Electrode Array). Its uses a BMI (Brain Machine Interface) to connect the human brain to a computer. This chip will be inserted into a specific part of a human nerve or the brain. The chip, which has 100 electrodes, has already been proven to be able to detect as well as send electrical signals to the nervous system, using Radio Frequency. Tests are now being carried out to determine the exact electrical frequency of a wide variety of human emotions. By intercepting each emotion's unique frequency, the data is thereafter stored in the BMI's software. At some future point, an RF transmitter may send a signal that would give the person pleasure or pain, with the frequency coming from the BMI.

If we have a device implanted into a specific area of our nervous system which has the ability to detect these electrical patterns and then transmit to a computer, it would be able to analyze what frequency signal makes us say move our hand up and down. Such data could then be even transmitted to another person, reducing humans to remote-controlled robots. Right now, Monkeys in a laboratory can control the movement of a robotic arm using only their thoughts. And last year scientists in New York announced they could control the skittering motions of a rat by implanting electrodes in its brain, steering it around the lab floor as if it were a radio-controlled toy car. It does not take much imagination to see in this the makings of a 'Matrix'-like cyberpunk dystopia: chips that impose false memories, machines that scan for wayward thoughts, cognitively augmented government security forces that impose a ruthless order on a recalcitrant population.

What government wouldn't want the ability to tranquilize an entire city during a Riot, or better yet keep all of its citizens content or happy by continually feeding them prerecorded emotions! And the fact is that this technology is being funded by the Govt. of U.S.A's department of defense, and when its ready, every human being on the planet would have his or her thoughts, emotions and feelings tracked by the government.

An interesting and potentially dangerous by-product of MMEA technology would be the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy which talks about a tyrant, biblically called "the beast', who will come to power in the last days, and attempt to control the world. Revelations 13:16-17 in the Bible states "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

It doesn't require the mind of a Rocket Scientist to link Biblical Prophecy and the MMEA Technology. After all, who knows, this might just be the final straw in the never-ending debate between Religion and Science.
