More information:
- scientism - noun - thought or expression regarded as characteristic of scientists, excessive belief in the power of scientific knowledge and techniques
- transhumanism - noun - the belief or theory that the human race can evolve beyond its current physical and mental limitations, especially by means of science and technology
- artificial intelligence - noun - the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.
- brain chips - noun - aka Brain implants, or neural implants, are technological devices that connect directly to a biological subject's brain, are typically placed on the surface of the brain or attached to the brain's cortex. A primary goal of modern brain implants, a focus of much current research, is to create a biomedical prosthesis that can bypass areas of the brain that have become dysfunctional due to a stroke or other head injuries. Neural implants, such as deep brain stimulation and Vagus nerve stimulation, are becoming more common treatments for patients with Parkinson's disease and clinical depression, respectively.
