Wow, this guy is proposing the use of neurotoxins and biological weapons in warfare. Not to affect populations but to alter the thinking of specific individuals (for enhancing soldiers or degrading enemy soldiers, diplomats, and politicians). A lot of what he talks about is vague and no where near realization (nanorobots to alter biology as a weapon, an FMRI helmet worn by soldiers). This seems like an incredible provocation to Russia and China to develop new chemical and biologic weapons. He also seems to think that crypto millionaires are financing this kind of biohacking and chemhacking for terrorism purposes. He suggests that some of these things should not be used, but that some should be assessed for use as weapons. He names a few DARPA programs along these lines that might be considered "dual use".
- anothernewdude 4y agoSeems like we need more checks and balances. I mean, we do anyway, but it would be a good counter.
- aliqot 4y agoWe had a good one called the geneva protocol that covers stuff like chemical and biological toxins [0]. I vaguely remember Saddam Hussein being accused of using a nerve agent called VX years back and it being a big deal.

- lioeters 4y agoReminds me of: > Blitzed: Drugs in Nazi Germany - Norman Ohler > [The book shows] how the entire Nazi regime was permeated with drugs - cocaine, heroin, morphine and methamphetamines, the last of these crucial to troops' resilience and partly explaining German victory in 1940. > [The author] is explicit that drugs cannot explain Third Reich ideology, but their promiscuous use impaired and confused decision-making, with drastic effects on Hitler and his entourage, who, as the war turned against Germany, took refuge in ever more poorly understood cocktails of stimulants.
