Sounds entire reasonable, and definitely has zero possibility of going horribly horribly wrong.
This shit is a silly fantasy:
a slide behind her showed off a “soldier of the future” whose body is “flooded with pain-numbing stimulants” and has the “ability to regrow limbs & quickly heal wounds like a lizard.”
Next to this was a quote that referenced Robocop. “Enhanced soldiers would be reduced to bionic men, who run fast, do not need to sleep, eat and drink very little, and can fight all the time. A new species is born: Homo robocopus,”
The whole thing is full of pop culture references:
McKinely, the non-invasive brain stimulation expert, said that The Matrix was starting to become real. Think of the iconic scene where Neo, played by Keanu Reeves, is instantly uploaded with proficiency in kung fu.
It’s like a bunch of teenagers writing a sci-fi fanfic. Too many movies and video games, not enough actual science and technology. They literally have a picture of Master Chief.
A good deal of the conversation revolved around the ethical and legal boundaries of creating super soldiers.
Because that’s all you can talk about when none of this has any practical application.
Can the federal government pay me to make up boyhood fantasies?

The soldier of the future will be “flooded with pain-numbing stimulants,” cybernetically enhanced, and, one official sort-of joked, must be eventually “terminated.”<
these people wake up, think up this shit, then go to sleep at night saying 'yeah this is a good idea"
the automation of war is already insane now toss in disposable super soldiers the fuuuuck?
Your problem is you’re not thinking like a sociopath; devoid of all empathy, morals and ethics. Have you tried injecting capitalism directly into your brain stem?
Someone has been reading too many Warhammer 40k novels.
