The U.S. Navy has held meetings with American presidential hopeful and Transhumanist Zoltan Istvan to discuss the possibility of implanting humans with microchips fitted with global positioning (GPS) technology, reports The Sun.
According to Vice Admiral Wisecup, who has retired from full-time service to work in a Navy department called the Chief of Naval Operations Strategic Studies Group, the meeting broadened “our understanding of the merger of humans and machines.”
“A bunch of navy officers came to my house and one of the main topics was this chip implant strategy,” Transhumanist and Futurist Istvan said.
Zoltan Istvan is currently running for president of the United States as a part of the Transhumanist Party.
The Transhumanist Party aims to “uphold the energy and political might of millions of transhumanist advocates out there who desire to use science and technology to significantly improve their lives.”
Istvan told The Sun that the Navy is worried that soldiers could enter service with chips already implanted into them and is “struggling to create policy” around this issue.
“You can imagine how challenging that would be if someone had a non-authorized chip implant on a nuclear base, so policy has to be created and created soon,” says Istvan.
I helped the US Navy do some policy work on this issue.
The presidential candidate believes that within 10 to 15 years, artificial intelligence will advance to the point of solving all of civilization’s most vexing problems, including death, and he has even traveled around America in an “immortality bus” mocked up like a coffin to promote his ideas.
According to Istvan, the military has already experimented with chipping soldiers “so they can be tracked.”
“It’s crazy to me that we don’t develop it and use it in ourselves (humans) more, and especially in our children,” says the Transhumanist.
Istvan believes that GPS microchipping could be beneficial to parents who want to be able to keep track of their children and could have allowed investigators to find the body of Lane Graves, who was killed in an alligator attack, in just a matter of minutes.
“As a father of a two and five-year-old, I’m a big believer in the future that all children will get chipped, perhaps like all children get vaccines in the US,” Istvan told The Sun.
