Her is a 2013 film that is formally categorized as “science fiction” but perhaps should be considered technologically dystopian. The protagonist Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix) develops an intense emotional, bodiless …
The heart of a pig
At the beginning of the year, the pig heart transplant to a human was presented (and celebrated by ignorants and fools) as another techno-scientific miracle. Two months later, the recipient …
The Pandora Box
At the beginning of March it was revealed that the Ukrainian Ministry of Health had given an order, on the second day of the Russian operations, for the urgent destruction …
Robotic megastructures
So far, three-dimensional printers have been associated with the construction of small-sized objects; although such techniques are also being developed for house construction. Quite “ahead” in the field of robotics, …
Collapse of the relationship
It could be something from “the strange world.” It doesn’t seem to be a social trend with majority prospects yet. Or, at least, Akihido Kondo is a pioneer within a …
Mutated forests
The idea is relatively old: our forests have a problem, natural trees are problematic, so let’s replace them with genetically engineered… What problem did the watchful eye of biotechnologists detect …
They have gone out for hunting!
The ease, the comfort, with which various well-oiled gears of the western “scientific community”, professors, experts, demagogues, running dogs and even stinking rich ones pull “pandemic threats” out of their …
Booster yourself!
The idea of the body (more precisely: of the immune system – at this stage) as a battery is a disgustingly silly and technocratic idea; however, precisely for this reason …
Magnetogenetics
It’s not just the much-publicized genetic cut-and-paste (CRISPR/Cas9) method of cell conquest/colonization. Such is the global productivity of labor and so enormous the extraction of surplus value that the bosses …
Electric starch
Chinese biotechnologists, from the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, announced last fall the first (global) laboratory construction of starch from carbon dioxide. While biotechnologists in the West have focused on …
If it swims like a fish, is it a fish?
Not necessarily. It could be an artificial fish. And because the mind will go to something robotic, there are other kinds too. Like the bio-hybrid fish that biotechnologists from Harvard …
Patents on human DNA
If the (largely failed and lethal) genetic vaccines that are circulating for the prevention of coronavirus have nothing to do with genetic therapies and are unlikely to cause cell modification, …
