Thank you for this brilliant presentation. Clearly mankind has entered a new epoch. Warfare will be “more civilized” with biotechnology, that will enable even specific ethnic groups to be targeted. “Brain control”…… guns and cannons may become obsolete and it’s not science fiction. The world is experiencing a taste of it as we speak with mRNA biotechnology.

To think that we are being distracted with issues like climate change, windmills and solar panels while man is exploring warfare options that alter the very essence of our humanity.

Are we approaching “full circle” in our endeavor to subdue this earth?

This was the subject of a Star Trek episode back in 1967 called "A Taste of Armageddon". The premise is: "Kirk and Spock must save their ship's crew when they are declared all killed in action in a bizarre computer simulated war where the actual deaths must occur to continue." I remember the main advantage being no collateral or property damage.

Also in Star Trek next generation. A woman, the assassin, when she touched a certain member of a tribe/family she could produce a heart attack. Hence killing her family adversary.
