This is from 2002:

>The phrase “convergent technologies” refers to the synergistic combination of

four major “NBIC” (nano-bio-info-cogno) provinces of science and technology,

each of which is currently progressing at a rapid rate: (a) nanoscience and

nanotechnology; (b) biotechnology and biomedicine, including genetic engineering;

(c) information technology, including advanced computing and communications; (d)

cognitive science, including cognitive neuroscience.

Among the "twenty

ways the workshop determined that convergent technologies could benefit humanity

in a time frame of 10 to 20 years" [i.e., 2022] is this one:

>The ability to control the genetics of humans, animals, and agricultural plants

will greatly benefit human welfare; widespread consensus about ethical, legal,

and moral issues will be built in the process.

Later:

>If we make the correct decisions and investments today, any of these visions

could be achieved within 20 years’ time. Moving forward simultaneously along

many of these paths could achieve a golden age that would be a turning point for

human productivity and quality of life. Technological convergence could become

the framework for human convergence (Ostrum et al. 2002). The twenty-first

century could end in world peace, universal prosperity, and evolution to a higher

level of compassion and accomplishment. It is hard to find the right metaphor to see

a century into the future, but it may be that humanity would become like a single,

distributed and interconnected “brain” based in new core pathways of society.

...and they want total control of that "brain", using educational institutions to shape our views "from the nanosphere to the cosmos." They want it all; and they want it now. It's the gnostic/pagan dream: "All is One, One is All," all brought about by a "One World" agenda.
