The "Fire" of Prometheus?
Ergot poisoning symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain; gangrenous symptoms like cold, pale, and painful extremities that may lead to tissue death; and convulsive symptoms such as muscle spasms, twitching, hallucinations, and confusion. Symptoms can manifest within an hour and worsen with continued exposure.Gangrenous symptoms (due to blood vessel constriction)
- Early and gastrointestinal symptoms
- Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
- Abdominal pain and cramping
- Headache
- Weakness and exhaustion
- Excessive thirst or salivation
Convulsive symptoms (central nervous system effects)
- Numbness, tingling, and itching in the extremities
- Cold and pale skin, particularly in the hands and feet
- Weak or absent peripheral pulses
- Intense burning pain
- Loss of sensation
- Pustules or swelling of the limbs
- Dry gangrene, which can lead to the loss of fingers, toes, or limbs
- Muscle spasms, twitching, or painful contractions
- Confusion, delirium, or psychosis
- Hallucinations
- Convulsions or seizures
- Drowsiness
- Vision problems
The Unanticipated Impacts of Introducing New Technologies

Evolution can make use of anything...
I would have said something else. Some Civilizational grain storage technologies (ie- centralized) proved fragile and lead to vertical hierarchies. they "broke the rhisome" (horizontal). Much as with any and every Cyclopean circumvallation (cram all the ingredients into a cell and surround it with a membrane).
"No man did this to me!" - Polyphemus' Complaint to Poseidon. (Homer, The Odyssey)
The name Polyphemus comes from the Greek name Polýphēmos (Πολύφημος), combining πολύ (polý) meaning "much" or "many" and φήμη (phḗmē) meaning "voice" or "fame". The name literally translates to "many-voiced" or "abundant in songs and legends," or "much-spoken-of".
Greek Origin: The name originates from the Ancient Greek name Πολύφημος (Polúphēmos).
Root words: It is a compound of:
πολύ (polú): "much" or "many".
φήμη (phḗmē): "voice," "report," "rumor," or "fame".
Literal Meaning: The combination results in literal translations like "many-voiced," "abundant in songs and legends," or "much-spoken-of".
Latin and English: The name entered English via Latin as Polyphemus and has been used as the name for the Cyclops in Greek mythology since at least the 14th century, according to Merriam-Webster
"Wecome to my cave called Babel," Polyphemus stated. "My name is Polyphemuus", he continued, "what is yours"?
"No Man" replied Odysseus.
Maybe you should sell Polyphemus some biometrics.
Humanity makes use of "No thing" (language). It then encodes that "no thing" (information) into microtubules on axons and dendrites, and then myelinates (insulates) them (for bio-electric efficiency) if they become frequently used/ activated.
genetic language has four letters (GATC). human language 26 letters (ABCs). genetic language have 23 pairs of chromosomes (22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes XX/or XY) Human language has syllables.

Well. You understand it.
But what you propose? Stop all R&D????%-))))
Well, even if it could happen with West. What about China? Africa? South America? Russia?
Do you think THEY could stop? Decide to NOT even scores with you???)))
Nope. Stop sharing info and tech. Go full "Wakanda". That includes Europe. America on her own.

Yawn. Whatever.
As mapper I inclined to care more about what WILL BE with us humans. And what we was...
The Undiscovered Country of the Future...

Yep.
You are packer.
Right away you trying to place us in boxes. "Cyborgs". "Gray Goo". "Whatever".
Mappers don't map?
/Anonymous
Whatever.
You cannot create a tech on that base (but, technology can enforce it).
Yawn.
There already is one. It's called Internet Advertising placement. You watch what a customer is looking at, and create a "desire" in that customer to identify with a related "product". Once he purchases it, you monitor and create a new "desire" in the customer to identify with another (likely completely unrelated) product. The process is "schizoid". It does not attempt at "unifying" the two desires and/ or products (unless the customer's identity can be associated with specific "systems of objects"). An artist purchasing paint... suggest paint brishes or art paper/ canvases. The important part is to keep identifying objects that the customer is identifying with and provide suitable adverts... especially after the customer has stopped identifying with that system (as is now interested in something else). Monitoring... timing. Schizoid Identification.

And technology/evolution precedes tradition. ;-)
That's the problem. It precedes Law itself. Is it an advert for an "Escort Service"... or a home delivery "brothel"?

The act of programming is the act of recognizing an environmental issue, analysis of that issue, and then automating the solution to that problem through the application of a computer. Without the analysis step, that is, rote work (data entry), is the division between programming and mere computer use. In this process there is a desire and and insight. The desire to resolve the issue and the insight in how to resolve the issue. The progammer is a black box that accepts input and delivers solutions. What happens inbetween is not mindless.
Programming is a literary exercise. Excellence in composition goes a long way.
Programming is a process of breaking a task down into an atomic level. Further division beyond that level merely reverts to the original state. Yet from the atomic level tasks can be derrived to achieve the larger goal.
Programming involves improving the solution until it reaches a natural plateau of which further solving is mere bike shedding.
Yes, it's a shame that all the programmers will soon be replaced by AI Agents.
1) Hierarchy
2) Shame
3) Scarcity
All lacking? in Evolutionary processes, but very present in Human Power/Control structures. Or are humans merely mimicking cell biologies with a different Step 2...?
1) Collect Underpants
2)?
3) Profit
I think I need a technologist to explain step 2... ;)
