“During those moments of mistaken priorities, too many have become awash in the corruption that can be found in goals that exist around materialism, the kind of hedonism that neglects the responsibility for the consent of others, a desire to wave the mighty hand of power, and mere survival. Perhaps many may have ideas that are even loftier than the typical drivers of a mediocre life, but with meager resources and so many other factors, they are helpless to do anything about it. Nature and humanity can be amazing, but likewise, it can be brutal. Brutality, as far too many know it, is unnecessary if we can consider and implement one thing, innovation with purpose—a good purpose is brutality’s ideal replacement, and it comes minus unnecessary misery. It’s starting to become very clear to me now what it is that we can do and how we can do it. We need to examine my plans when we return home, develop what I call a “biopod,” and this will lead to both physiological and neurological healing. This biopod will have the capacity to heal any and all who desire to be treated, and to the extent that in all senses, any individual has volunteered and has become affected by it, they will become optimized in every desirably conceivable and inconceivable way.
“Now, I am pretty sure that if I asked you if you’d like to be a part of building this, improving upon it, and experimenting with it in every way with these biopods, you’d accept. Having been best friends for more than 26 years, you know I will ask you to help me, and I know you’d be willing to jump into the heart of this, just as you know that I will. I would never ask you to do anything I wouldn’t. So, Yesha, will you join me in the building and testing of these biopods, as well as help me to cultivate a new multi-industrial and a promising way of life?”
Passing Union Square, Eliza paused as they continued onto and down Washington Street; the fragrance of the flowers in the air drifted into their noses from a flower shop nearby. Eliza, followed by Yesha, went into the shop and purchased a small bouquet of stargazer lilies mixed with jasmine and honeysuckle. They continued on as they handed the bouquet back and forth to each other, and it added to the pleasant nature of their shared experience.
“I would. While you wouldn’t need to ask, I appreciate that you did. We’re one team in this shared quest, my friend, and I’m with you for as far as you wish,” said Yesha, who smiled.
Eliza smiled back after breathing in the scent of the bouquet, passed the flowers back to Yesha, and continued, “Thank you, Yesha. Everything seems crystal clear. We know what to do, and we know how to do it. We need to start Pathway Industries, beginning with Pathway LLC, which will be our foundation for research, innovation, development, and proliferation of that which will increase life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Eliza paused, and Yesha noticed as a light breeze picked up and watched as Eliza’s blonde locks blew her hair into a perfect medium-length balayage bob. Yesha smiled, her hair was in an up-do with side-swept bangs that culminated in a braided ponytail that spiraled attractively around and to the back of her head. Eliza always enjoyed Yesha’s smiles, they seemed to light up wherever they were in the world.
“So let’s do it,” responded Yesha, as they walked by a steakhouse.
“I love your dedication, Yesha,” Eliza smiled and laughed, proud of Yesha’s sincerity. “I have no doubt that with amazing and heartfelt discoveries and innovations on our part, some of which we’ve already come upon through working together, investing in the supplies at home, and in part due to the availability of some of the highly advanced tools for research provided by Harvard and MIT, we’ll do well and so will so many others. We’ve certainly found a game-changer.”
Eliza and Yesha continued their walk and their conversations with turns, different views, and several stops along the way. They arrived at the park along the beach and enjoyed the light and breezy ocean air carried in with the sound of the wispy waves from the coast overlooking Broad Sound Bay before them and the Atlantic Ocean not too far off in the distance and to their right. They walked along the sand for a bit. They could almost hear the sounds of a brewing revolution as had played out two centuries and three decades earlier. They would, coming from the same location in this world, have yet another revolution soon. Only, this time, there would be no lives lost, except through choosing to die of old age rather than living for an indeterminate period of time. This revolution would be a peaceful one with nary a drop of blood spilled. They talked for a while longer, before returning and arriving at their home while going over details of their plans for the future and how each thing could be done, step-by-step.
As was their tradition, weary from the activities of the day, they grabbed their sleeping bags and some blankets, played some of their favorite music, which of course included Depeche Mode’s “Suffer Well” and “Precious,” from their 2005 album, “Playing the Angel,” among other favorites from various groups throughout the decades. As their singing tapered off, it graduated to listening. They then looked up toward the stars, laid on their backs, and smiled again as they looked toward each other with a feeling of peace, contentment, and joy until they fell asleep.
Shortly after this conversation and continuing as professors, Eliza and Yesha worked together on different projects throughout the many evenings, and sometimes late through the night, both at home and at the universities to innovate the discovery which had within it a multitude of findings that they knew, in theory, could change the face of humanity for a very long time.
After the walk and conversation on that particular day, the days, the weeks, and the months that followed sped by with their regular walks, talks, shared thought, and songs as they dedicated themselves both as professors and as innovators, collaborating their minds and their resources to bring their ideas to life. By the end of 2007, they perfected something they had called the biopod, which looked like a glowing white tanning booth and could do quite a few things much more interesting than giving someone a good tan. It was also far more comfortable to lie in. Through their innovative efforts, they had developed a technological tool that would provide the mechanisms necessary to change the course of history and make possible so many other advancements that would give humanity so much more hope, resilience, creativity, and innovation, all while augmenting drive, meaning, and clarity to purpose and increasing the enjoyment of life in and throughout the Universe.
Eliza’s biopod, with cellular, genetic, DNA, particle, and neural nano delivery systems, based on all of their studies, research, ingenuity, and dedication could optimize anyone. Optimization in this sense suggested that an individual would be infused with nanos that could cure them of any conceivable or even inconceivable disease or illness, and then configure cells, genes, DNA, and neurons to do likewise. These benefits would render them capable of withstanding some of the worst and most treacherous of environments known to mankind, and all while enjoying their ambiance no matter how grueling it seemed, keeping a clear mind about innovations that could further increase the quality of life and preserve it substantially, and enable the abilities necessary to allow life itself to traverse throughout the solar system and Universe speedily without submitting to the ill effects of space or space travel.
The biopod that Eliza had designed initially, and the same biopod that Yesha had helped her to build and improve, could combine to maximize every conceivable capacity. For example, the abilities of the human eye, with this upgrade, could now allow for microscopic, telescopic, heat, infrared, Gama ray, X-ray, and so many other different types of vision as needed. It could also increase pain tolerance, allow the mind to communicate with nearby objects, allowing them to bend without harm to the mind’s will, it could enable the body to absorb unlimited quantities of radiation, all while maximizing safety, security, and normality. The biopod, with its nano-delivery system, could do so much more, to include enabling the body to immediately heal and receive so many more upgrades with phenomenally robust optimizations.
Eliza and Yesha designed every aspect of this biopod and its nanotechnology delivery systems to include the ability to truly maximize e
ach region of the brain while increasing specific aspects of the various processing centers and augment clarity of perception, maximize virtues and traits such as kindness, compassion, gentleness, humor, creativity, respect for personal consent, and even eloquence. These were a few of the many characteristics that they were keen to germinate and expand upon, and all in an effort to eliminate the potential for destructive, violent, and abusive intentions, behavior, or the improper use of science and technology, while also safeguarding the need to factor in mechanisms to protect and empower anyone who had been optimized, and not impinge upon their free will and sense of self. They wanted to preserve humanity, not destroy it, and they would pull no stops to make sure their technologies were safeguarded.
Once they were sure this biopod technology met their expectations, and after scrutinizing it in every conceivable way, which in turn resulted in many more capabilities to enhance the human experience without losing humanity altogether, they created two more biopods, and with good reason. They found out that at least two people going through the biopod experience together, while linked through a physiological and neurological experiential interface, would result in the provision of a higher level of physiological and neurological capacities with more enriching outcomes of optimizing the mind, than would a single biopod by way of a singular experience. While a single biopod, if needed, could optimize a single mind, together, as robustly designed, they would tie-in with their data-linked and powerful ultra-tech computers and allow for multiple neurological centers from one or more people to link and thus share thoughts.
This would exponentially increase their understanding, their mental fluidity, and even in the most helpful way, compartmentalize the various regions of their brains or marry them up as necessary and as consented, so that a person could in fact simultaneously think of a multitude of items at once. The breadth of the advancements could be listed in several libraries worth of books, but they all-in-all included social, artistic, and scientific genius level growth and capacities. All of this would boost mental and physical capacity by several orders of magnitude, allowing the recipients to live indeterminately while resolving more hyper-complexed issues.
By design, they perfected their biopods and nanotechnology delivery integration systems allowing them to enable anyone who used them to not only neurologically link with others who had also been treated with one and optimized them in so many surprising ways, but their designs also led to the provision of what they called an individual neurological identification or neural identification. This would allow anyone who was “optimized,” or had used the biopod, to bring mental clarity and thought differentiation to each individual, allowing all who used the machine to have the ability to tell the difference between personal and shared-thought. This also served to prevent violation of a person’s intended and individual rights to their own private thoughts, while allowing them to securely compartmentalize that which they were not yet comfortable with sharing.
They had imagined a scenario, in which they viewed a tragic misuse of their tech, where someone with malicious intentions could imbue evidence of a crime into someone else’s mind by using malevolently manipulated technology, undoing the measures Eliza and Yesha had taken, leading to a reality that could mean that law enforcement and the judicial system might find the wrong person guilty. This they figured out quickly, and just as fast they created impenetrable defenses thru the neural identification against malicious use of collaborative, experiential understanding, and learning. This would in-turn positively help law enforcement, if ever needed, and allow people to differentiate their thoughts from the thoughts of others, through thought source identifications.
The purpose of neurological connection and identification was to allow a more robust form of communication between friends, family members, lovers, politicians, diplomats, or anyone desiring to connect with another individual who was willing, and not to hurt others, but to reach a greater understanding, one between the other. So, they protected this in a very healthy manner. Linking mind-to-mind with neural identifications, nations would be able to resolve many more issues than they had ever done before, worldwide and beyond, and have much more effective and fair results when it came to the well-being of themselves as well as others.
The Virtual Universe, with physiological and neurological optimizations, and the neural identification, was built to enable the receipt of rudimentary to high-level education, the training necessary for highly technical careers and integration of sciences and arts, optimized training for physically demanding activities and much more. This also created, quite phenomenally, the ability to actually and in a virtually realistic way manipulate single electrons, muons, fermions, and many other baryonic and non-baryonic particles related to gravity, mass, speed, and so much more, all while creating a real world and Virtual Universe interface to influence what was necessary on either side. Using the Virtual Universe would allow for humanity and its friends to innovate even more profound technological advances all the more quickly. Now that the science was there, and the efforts had been made in droves, the machines created, and the miracles put together in every aspect, what was left to do now, was to test these biopods and then the Virtual Universe.
Before doing so, they checked every detail, every bit of information, and ran scenarios on every conceivable outcome, and all while running multiple miniature programs, and programs within programs, and so much more, to study and improve upon each encoded algorithm, matrix, macro, loop, and course to successful completion. As time flew by, Eliza and Yesha also made sure they were adequately fed, rested, and got their exercise so they could go all-in even further.
As they did their research and perfected their innovations, they were mindful to program, encode, encrypt, and set up these biopods to mutually protect that which was private and to only share that which would be of unbreakable benefit to humanity, when the time was right.
They wished they could keep all of their ideas, no matter what they were, transparent, but they also realized that their ideas could be vulnerable to malicious manipulation, and as such, they ought to be kept only in trustworthy locations. In this sense, only one such location seemed best for this. This particular location was within their highly encrypted, quantum-encoded, and impenetrable mainframe, all safeguarded within Eliza’s quaint estate home. She had plans for something or several somethings much greater and phenomenal, later.
Eliza and Yesha agreed that they would not make their biopod advancements public for the time being. Much to their chagrin, they would only share these advancements with people who had been properly vetted, were trustworthy, were loyal to the plight of humanity, and thus agreed to become fully read-in. Until ironclad safety mechanisms were in place, when it came to the vulnerability of theft or sabotage, or even gross manipulation, this would be covert. Eventually, they would share each aspect of each detail with anyone and everyone throughout the World, but they would begin with those who would choose to be read-in and then involved with their research, and within the various technology teams they would soon form.
The culmination of their efforts was the result of Eliza and Yesha having broken the limitations set by so many facets of society, of political organizations, of medical bylaws, and everything up to and including the codes of every one of the most basic through to the most complexed components of every gene, what they could do, and how they could or would interacted with each other on a poly-genomic and mono-genomic level. Furthermore, they had discovered how to optimize the physiological and neurological aspects of any living being.
By using a series of gene editing tools based on the mechanisms of stem cells, neurons, RNA and DNA, and using processes even more powerful, precise, rapid, and effective than CRISPR, they could digitize, store, replicate, and reproduce an entire genome in moments. The biopod was a fully functional high throughput sequencing device with a series of scanning and tunneling microscopes equipped with precision laser delivery systems that ultimately optimized both body and
mind in every sector at one time. It was integrated into Eliza’s powerful computer mainframe with algorithms, codes, sequences, and much more that could be updated for further optimization and mind-expansion with the purpose of connecting any biopod user to the robustly capable set of matrices they had developed and called the Virtual Universe.
Eliza and Yesha had developed a system that would be accessible by initially entering a biopod and becoming optimized, from where they could end the sequence, or continue on to the Virtual Universe. The biopod could deliver this optimized state by running their highly detailed and technical sets of macros, robust and intricate programs, data analytics, and highly specialized encryptions. When powered with a biopod and paired with a living being, this system could understand in a quick manner how each aspect of its physiology communicated their commands from the central nervous system to neurons attached to each micro hub of each tissue and organ on the most basic of levels to every other cell, depending on the region, organism, type of cell, neuron, nerve, or synapse. It could then recreate existing as well as create new and detailed codes using the appropriate quantities of electrons, neutrons, and protons, as well as other baryonic and non-baryonic particles, to form perfected proteins that would optimize every function of every organ and organism within the living body and even improve upon it. All of this delivered optimizations to the body using a series of light electrical pulses in a matter of nano-seconds.
Their new biopods and the nanos paired to an individual’s DNA and neural identification could enable an individual’s cells to immediately communicate and adjust form as requested by that individual, and as needed. An individual’s nanos could optimize helpful organisms or adjust the body to adapt to any environment they might be in. These nanos could create tactile reference while in the Virtual Universe or while receiving any updates. Once a batch of nanos was infused with DNA and a neural identification via the biopod’s delivery system they would serve to optimize both the body and mind at every moment, as well as create a link to other benefactors who had been optimized. Anyone optimized could have access to the computer mainframe at any time and in any location, to allow for updates, upgrades, and neural links for telepathic communication.
