We are Cyborgs already-part machine part human, Elon Musk at World Government Summit in Dubai

LISTEN NOW! (Or WATCH FULL PROGRAM!) With the present level of technological advancements in our culture, we are entering a new realm of what is real and what is not. We are now beginning to realize that we will soon be confronted with the shocking question: what is robot, and what is human? When Elon Musk recently spoke at the World Government Summit, he shared about how these two are merging closer and closer together.

As Musk more specifically describes, “…merger with biological intelligence and machine intelligence”. According to Musk, “to some degree, we are already a cyborg”. He points to the amount of technology that we are dependent upon each day that we live. We carry our cell phones, laptops, and tablets with us everywhere we go. When we have a question, we do a quick search on our computer for the answers that we need. Musk calls this the ‘digital tertiary layer’.

With the continual advancements of technology, he highlights how output is steadily increasing. But, for us humans, the curve has been in the opposite direction. With the implementation of smart phones in most of the world, we have transitioned from keyboards to now using only our thumbs. “A computer can communicate at a billion bits per second. But, your thumb can maybe do 10 bits/second, or 100 if you’re being generous.” Considering this dynamic difference between computer and human, Musk reveals what he really sees coming in the days ahead. “So, some high bandwidth interface to the brain, I think, will be something that helps achieve a symbiosis between human and machine intelligence, and maybe solves the control problem and the usefulness problem.” Reportedly, Ray Kurzweil is already working on a brain cortex that connects to the internet. Instead of having to type our search queries into Google, we will simply be able to think what we are searching for.

Considering the application of all of these technologies, Greg Lancaster received a prophetic dream. In this night vision, he was in a large office that were full of cubicles. No one was allowed to talk, but each person had a whiteboard to use for communications. Everyone was entering massive amounts of information into their computers. As Greg looked around at all that was happening, he stood up and began to write these words on his whiteboard, “This is the number of the beast and his number is 666.” This is the very reality of what is written in Revelation 13:16-18, “It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.” We must seek wisdom from the Lord in order to navigate the days that we are living in. See the full discussion about the observations from Elon Musk, and so much more.
