Insurrection For Real
Not to put too fine a point on it: but whenever a lawfare ninja of the Democratic Party utters the phrase “our democracy,” you must know that they are completely full of XXit. For sure, they do not mean anything remotely related to an American commonweal, as understood by people of sound mind and good faith. “The Democrat agenda is to legalize crime and criminalize the middle class.”
The war-cry “our democracy” only signifies how degenerate they have become.

The Transhumanist Push: Should We Update God’s Design?
For instance, several “cognitive enhancement strategies” are on the market. These include drugs that stimulate the brain’s memory and learning. Such drugs do not prolong life, but they can improve its quality. In an even more startling development, experiments have put silicon chips in animal brains, paving the way for human trials of a “memory prosthesis.” Such a brain implant might help restore lost memories and rebuild cognitive abilities. But what if we could use these strategies to enhance “normal” people? It sounds like science fiction. Yet with our cell phones and ever-present computers, we have become increasingly comfortable merging our bodies with devices. D. T. Max, in a recent National Geographic article, put it this way: “Our cars are our feet, our calculators are our minds, and Google is our memory. Our lives are now only partially biological.”
