Direct electrical stimulation of the brain can change the way you think, say Boston University Researchers as reported on the Futurism website. Using “high-definition transcranial alternating current stimulation” of brain areas responsible for executive function and self control, researchers say they can enhance or decrease a person’s abilities. Along with drugs called nootropics – examples include Ritalin, Adderall and Modafinil – this is the march of procedures that supposedly enhance memory, creativity and motivation. Addicts call Ritalin “kiddie coke,” Adderall is called “beans” or “black beauties,” and the U.S. Army is testing Modafinil as a way to keep soldiers awake for days.
But we’ve been down this road before. Do you trust bigpharma to help you think — or to sell more pills? Do you trust the government – which in the past funded MKULTRA’s drugs and electrical brain stimulation as weapons of war – to have your best interests at heart as new research ramps up on drugs and electrical brain stimulation?
This is just another degraded psychiatric/bigpharma campaign to control minds and futures. Put 20 percent of college students on prescription speed and we’re walking the same path students took back in the 50’s and 60’s with LSD, Harvard and Timothy Leary. Government funding and a psychiatric control agenda, focused on bright kids who like to experiment.
