The Connection Between Intelligence Projects

The newly announced government Project Stargate, a $500 billion AI initiative, evokes historical ties to an earlier remote viewing project from the 1970s to 1990s. Both projects exhibit an interest in connecting with forms of intelligence that transcend typical human capabilities, creating a thread of fascination in mastering these 'transhuman' intelligences to gain power. This relationship is further complicated by cultural representations, such as the Stargate franchise, which illustrates concepts of accessing alternate realities. As these projects emerge amidst a surge of interest in UFOs, psychedelics, and questions of identity, they raise critical questions about how humanity seeks to engage with and potentially control unfamiliar forms of intelligence.
