The US military discloses Project Super Soldiers, which says it has received $ 65 million in funding for a program to develop a "brain-computer interface" that will allow participants to connect to a computer like the Matrix movie. No, this is not science fiction, this is the future that MIC wants to create for its soldiers.

Earlier in January last year, DARPA launched Neural Engineering System Design to research technologies that could turn soldiers into cyborgs.

The military wants to use these programs to "give soldiers hypersensitivity and mental strength." Four teams will be responsible for improving vision, and two for hearing and speech. The military adds that this will help develop "new treatments for patients with sensory impairments."

The program is supported by Brown University, Columbia University, Observation and Hearing Foundation, John B. Pearce Laboratory, Paradromics Inc, and the University of California.

According to DARPA representatives, the goal of the project is "to develop an implantable system capable of providing accurate communication between the brain and the digital world."

“The best brain-computer interface systems today are like two supercomputers trying to communicate with each other using an old 300 baud modem. Imagine what will be possible when we modernize our tools to truly open up the channel between the human brain and modern electronics,”Philip Alvelda, DESPA's NESD manager told The Guardian.

They argue that this new study of technology and the human mind "will help treat people with blindness, paralysis and speech impairments."

The advancement of neuroscience is not the only experiment DARPA has been working on; they are also actively trying to integrate humans with machines … essentially transhumanism.

For many years, the military-industrial complex has tried to develop robotic exoskeletons to increase the soldier's strength, as evidenced by the Raytheon Sarcos XOS 2 exoskeleton. This makes the wearer stronger, with increased agility and endurance like a superhero.

Around the same time as 2015 when the XOS 2 exoskeleton was released, the military also released the "Revision Kinetic Operation Suit". The suit has a built-in night vision system, computers, a communications system, and a suspended metal exoskeleton that covers 60%. a soldier's body in armor. It is so heavy that a metal frame is needed to move the soldier to carry the weight.

It's also worth noting that technocrats in Silicon Valley are interested in the transhuman AI society. Tesla's Elon Musk and former Google [X] executive Mary Lou Jepsen plan to develop mind-reading technologies and share the same interest in the private military-industrial complex to make the human race more machine-like.
