and-and how is that gonna change him?
- 这是我的餐桌 - 好的
- So this is my dining room table. - Okay.
它同时也是一个射频识别操作的保险柜
Which doubles as an RFID-operated safe.
- 啊 - 我所做的是扫描我的RFID芯片
- Ah. - What I do is I scan my RFID chip on top.
滑移铰链…这是我的抽屉
A slip hinge... and there's my drawer.
啊 真棒 漂亮
Ah, very nice. Beautiful.
这里的设备
So these devices in here
- 是可植入的技术部件 - 嗯
- are implantable technology pieces I have. - Mm-hmm.
- 我会告诉你它们是什么 - 太棒了
- And I will show you what they are. - Fantastic.
这是第一个装置 叫做北感
So, this first device, this is called a North Sense.
这个装置通过穿孔安装在身体上
This device is mounted to the body with piercings.
每当它面对磁北极时 这个装置就会震动
This device will vibrate whenever it faces magnetic north,
把你变成人体指南针
essentially turning you into a human compass.
这里我们有一些磁铁植入物
And here we have some magnet implants.
这是一个封装氚气的小芯片
So, this is a small chip that encases tritium gas,
它会通过你的皮肤发光
and it will glow right through your skin.
因为它是放射性物质
And because it is, uh, radioactive material,
它不是 电池供电的
it's not, um, battery powered.
它会一直发光 它有12年的半衰期 - 哇
It will constantly glow, and it has - a 12-year half-life. - Wow.
在什么时候我们会在超人类的过程中变得比人类更强大?
At what point do we become more than human in the transhuman process?
我认为我们总是要在现有的人性基础上持续发展
I think that we're-we're always going to be building on to our existing humanity,
而且欣赏我们现存的人性是很重要的
but it's important to appreciate our existing humanity.
我们不想就此失去联♥系♥
We don't want to lose touch with that.
当我看拉斯的时候 我看到的是一个走在我们技术前沿的人
When I look at Russ, I see someone who's on the cutting edge of our technology,
但这仅仅是一个开端 我们有可能在这方面取得进展
but he's just the beginning of where we potentially can go with this.
我们说的是把人类变成超人
We're talking about transforming humans into super beings.
随着可以植入人体的技术的出现
With the emergence of technology that can be implanted within the flesh,
人类是否已经到了拥有超能力的边缘 就像古代人提到他们的神时所描述的那样?
is humankind on the brink of possessing abilities similar to those described by ancient people in reference to their gods?
身体修饰是否已经为这种进化做好了准备?
Has body modification all been a preparation for this evolution?
也许通过研究纹身与科技融合的计划可以找到更多的线索
Perhaps further clues can be found by examining plans to merge tattoos with technology.
科罗拉多 博尔德
Boulder, Colorado.
2018年
2018.
在科罗拉多大学
At the University of Colorado,
卡森•布伦斯博士和一组科学家开始研究开♥发♥一项新技术
Dr. Carson Bruns and a team of scientists begins work on developing a new technology
那就意味着改变获得墨水的意义……
that promises to transform what it means to get ink...
“智能纹身”
"smart tattoos."
我们正在设计新的纹身墨水
We're trying to engineer new tattoo inks
这会给你的皮肤增加新的功能
that will add new function to your skin.
我们发明的第一种是对紫外线敏感的纹身墨水
The first one that we invented is a UV-sensitive tattoo ink.
在正常的光照条件下基本上是看不见的
It's basically invisible under normal lighting conditions,
但是当你在强烈的阳光下外出时 它会暴露在紫外线下……
but when you go outside in intense sunshine and it gets exposed to the UV lights...
高能量的阳光
that high-energy part of sunshine
会导致皮肤癌和晒伤…
that causes skin cancer and sunburn...
它变成蓝色 就像一个指示器
it turns blue and acts like an indicator
这表明你的皮肤暴露在危险之中
that shows you that your skin is dangerously exposed
暴露在高级别的危险辐射中
to high levels of dangerous radiation.
布伦斯博士还发明了纹身墨水
Dr. Bruns has also created tattoo inks
颜色会随着体温的变化而改变
that change color as the body's temperature changes,
本质上创造了一个随时都可以使用的人体体温计
essentially creating a human onboard thermometer accessible at any time.
我们可以利用纳米技术来制♥造♥纹身粒子
We can use nanotechnology to engineer tattoo particles
所以它们有特殊的性质
so that they have special properties,
就像一个热电池或者一个热储存装置
like a thermal battery or a thermal storage type of mechanism.
所以你可以想象下 一种会覆盖你的整个身体的纹身 使用的是一种储热材料
And so one thing that you can imagine doing with a tattoo would be covering your entire body with a sort of thermal storage material
当你外出到极端高温或极端寒冷时 这将使你的身体保持在一个舒适的温度
that would keep your body at a comfortable temperature when you went out into the extreme heat or the extreme cold.
智能纹身甚至可以用来监测健康状况和治疗疾病
Smart tattoos are even being engineered to monitor and treat health conditions.
如果我们有慢性疾病
If we have a chronic condition
我们需要药物 但是我们可以想象纹身墨水
that needs drugs, we can envision a tattoo ink
它会缓慢释放一种药物或激素到你的身体里
that slowly releases a drug or a hormone into your body
帮助调节你的血液化学成分 以此影响你的情绪
that helps regulate either your blood chemistry or your mood.
我还设想了能真正强化我们皮肤的纹身
I also envision tattoos that can really strengthen our skin,
使我们的皮肤更强壮 以抵抗外力和伤害
make our skin stronger to forces and-and damage.
全身纹身对军队会有很多的用处
The military may have a lot of use for full-body tattoos
例如 它可以帮助保护士兵
that can help protect soldiers, for example,
修复某些类型的皮肤损伤
from certain types of skin damage.
卡森•布伦斯在人类皮肤上做了一项有趣的研究
Carson Bruns is doing fascinating work on the human skin.
他相信我们可以完全改变皮肤的性质
He believes that we can change the nature of skin altogether,
以皮肤作为技术发展的新平台
using skin as a new platform for technological development.
人类总是试图模仿神
Humans have always tried to imitate the gods,
也许纹身就是一个反映
and perhaps tattoos are a reflection of this.
在古代
In ancient times,
他们可能看到过神灵身上有类似纹身的东西
they might have seen the gods wearing something like tattoos,
他们开始在身上纹身 模仿众神的穿着
and they started tattooing their own bodies in imitation of what the gods were wearing.
但是今天 我们现在拥有的科技 相当于我们在古代故事中看到的神的道具
But today, we now have technology that is equal to what we see the gods using in these ancient stories.
也许现在我们能够把自己变成一个物种 就像神一样
Maybe now we're going to be able to turn ourselves into a species just like the gods.
是否可能是古人接触到更先进的 具有智能纹身的人吗
Is it possible that ancient people came into contact with more advanced beings that had smart tattoos
很像今天正在开♥发♥的那些?
much like those that are being developed today?
这些来自另一个世界的游客会不会把科技藏在他们的皮肤里
Could these otherworldly visitors have had technology hidden within their skin,
以艺术品的形式表现出来?
appearing as artwork?
我们正在进行的纹身是黑色的
Conducting tattoos that we're working on are black right now,
所以它看起来像一个普通的黑色纹身颜料
so it looks like an ordinary black tattoo pigment.
但你甚至可以将技术与艺术相结合 这样你就可以拥有一个看起来像大众艺术的纹身
But you could even merge the technology with the art so that you could have a tattoo that looks like a normal artistic tattoo
但这种纹身拥有某种电子设备或检测设备的隐藏的功能
but has this hidden function as some kind of electronic or detecting device.
就古代宇航员理论家而言
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,
拥有这样的技术
with such technology,
对于远古人类来说 外星人可能真的成了神
extraterrestrials could truly have appeared to be gods to ancient people.
我们相信 人类很可能会变得像这些外星祖先一样
And they believe humanity is very close to becoming like these alien ancestors.

2018年
2018.
未来学家埃隆•马斯克推出了一项新技术 旨在实现所谓的“自我导向进化”
Futurist Elon Musk introduces a new technology venture aimed at what is known as "self-directed evolution."
他称之为“神经链接”
He calls it "Neuralink."
通过一种特殊的皮下注射针
By means of a special hypodermic needle,
该公♥司♥打算注入一种超薄滤网
the company intends to inject an ultra thin mesh,
在大脑皮层内被称为“神经花边”
called a "neuro lace," within the neocortex,
形成能够监测大脑功能的电极体
forming a body of electrodes that are able to monitor brain function.
神经蕾丝使用微电极植入大脑
A neural lace uses microelectrodes they place inside of the brain
它可以读写神经元
that can actually read and write onto neurons.
这是一种双向的信息交流
It's a bidirectional informational exchange.
它最终将允许你从互联网上接收信息
And it eventually will allow you to receive information from the Internet.
通过使用神经链接
Through the use of Neuralinking,
我们可以通过互联网技术来连接大脑
we can connect brains through the Internet or through technology.
在这种情况下 我们可以互相发送想法
When this is the case, we can send thoughts to one another.
你还可以做一件事
Another thing you could do,
如果你能读懂大脑活动
if you were able to read brain activity,
就可以用你的大脑远程控制设备
would be to control devices remotely with your mind.
所以 原则上它也会给我们心灵遥感
So, it would give us telekinesis in principle, as well.
埃隆•马斯克正在开♥发♥的技术也有可能以纹身的形式应用于人体
The technology that Elon Musk is developing could potentially also be applied to the human body in the form of tattoos.
纳米技术使我们能够把电子器件做得足够小
Nanotechnology is allowing us to make electronics small enough
所以当有纹身电子产品上线时
so when tattooable electronics come online,
你可以做成头皮纹身
you can do things like a scalp tattoo.
如果我们能从皮肤的这种无缝和永久界面中读取大脑活动
If we're able to read brain activity from this sort of seamless and permanent interface in our skin,
你可以想象一种新的交流方式
you could imagine a new form of communication,
这几乎是一种技术性的心灵感应
almost sort of a technological telepathy.
人类正在接近一个不再是货物崇拜的时代
Is humanity nearing a time when we will no longer be a cargo cult...
不知不觉中模仿了一个更先进的文明
unknowingly mimicking a far more advanced civilization
那个曾经访问过地球的文明
that once visited Earth...
…但实际上
but will, in fact,
我们会变得像这些外星访客一样?
become just like these extraterrestrial visitors?
我们从模仿文明进化到复♥制♥文明了吗?
Have we evolved from imitation to replication?
也许 通过研究旨在促进太空旅行的人体改造的新进展 可以找到更多的线索
Perhaps further clues can be found by examining new developments in body modification designed to facilitate space travel.
在21世纪
In the 21st century,
纹身和身体修饰不再是边缘科学 也不再仅仅是装饰
tattoos and body modifications are no longer fringe and no longer merely decorative.
植入肉体的技术可以促进超人的能力
Technology implanted within the flesh can facilitate superhuman abilities.
但古代宇航员理论家们最感兴趣的 是智能纹身可能在太空旅行中扮演的角色
But of greatest interest to ancient astronaut theorists is the role that smart tattoos could potentially play in space travel.
下一代的宇航服将会嵌入更多的技术
The next generation of space suits are gonna be embedded with a lot more technologies,
而且可以做成纹身样式
and it's possible to make tattoos
可以和太空服相互作用
that can interact with the space suit.
你甚至可以想象这样一套纹身太空服
You can imagine even a space suit
可以读出信息
that would be able to read out information
这些纹身会把他们的信息传输回任务控制中心
that those tattoos are providing and send them back to mission control.
科学家甚至开始开♥发♥新技术
Scientists are even beginning to develop technology
这可能会使太空服过时
