Bioscience Company Seeking to Resurrect the Woolly Mammoth Creates a 'Woolly Mouse'

 https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/company-seeking-to-resurrect-the-woolly-mammoth-creates-a-woolly-mouse/

From little mice to the new and improved Woolly Mammoth, some day, perhaps not that far away.

Splice is an interesting horror movie about creating composite or hybrid life-forms.

"In the near future there’s a RePet store in every mall that will clone your dead pet for you, but human cloning, although technically possible, has been outlawed." https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-6th-day-2000

Video for Alice Cooper Clones from the 1980 album 'Flush the Fashion' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1h38gC23bw


Of course nothing can go wrong, because that would potentially become a Cloning+Horror situation.

Why Are These STATES So Empty?

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8aYRMtlZKg 

Are These AMERICAN States are DYING? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBg1BFFyUjo 

Why NOBODY Lives in these 9 EMPTY States https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTRSclDfJMQ 

Why 50% of Americans Live in these 9 OVERCROWDED States https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vrAKD8ZPPI

California has more people than Canada & Texas has more people than Australia. Yet, California still has plenty of wilderness. Texas still has plenty of wide open natural spaces.

There is a gradual push to get more people accustomed to the Smart_City lifestyle of urban conformity. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_city#Characteristics

https://www.twi-global.com/technical-knowledge/faqs/what-is-a-smart-city#

Ultimately, every move could be tracked & scored with various forms of technology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_city#Technologies Contact tracing could easily be adapted & used as an excuse for just about anything. A world based AI run Carbon Credit Quota (CCQ) could easily be used to control people like mice in a maze. What a horrible world, if people had to constantly ask their AI Access Device (AIAD) permission to do just about anything. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_city#Chinese_enterprises

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_city#Criticism An imposed world Social Obedience Conformity score (world SOC score) would be an ideal human herd management tactic from the various governmental Sock_Puppets.    

Of course there should be safeguards to ensure that all this tech doesn't become a human herd, global totalitarian management system. Otherwise, the world might become like a series of interconnected Black_Mirror episodes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan's_Run (1967)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_Room!_Make_Room! (1966)

High Technology shouldn't mean that humanity be eventually transformed into a Borg like management and control system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg#Depiction

All it would take is for one James_Bond movie villain type to devise a way for everyone to submit to a worldwide SOC management system.

Unfortunately, in a worldwide Carbon Credit Quota system, humans could easily become managed and extremely controlled.

"And then: a ladder. THX clasps the rebar rungs and begins the long ascent. The androids are not far behind, THX more aware than most of his pursuers’ irradiated hearts, powering their conviction and inexhaustible drive. And then, suddenly, they stop. At 3,410 units, Central Command has ruled that the expense of THX’s capture now exceeds the allocated budget." https://filmschoolrejects.com/thx-1138-ending-explained

Artificial Intelligence in Cars...

 https://builtin.com/artificial-intelligence/artificial-intelligence-automotive-industry

The dream of having Self-driving vehicles has been around for decades.

https://www.techtarget.com/searchenterpriseai/definition/driverless-car

The ever advancing tech has made this dream become a reality, sort of.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesbusinesscouncil/2022/04/19/three-ways-ai-is-impacting-the-automobile-industry/?sh=2eb9297d4a73

How AI is driving the autonomous vehicle revolution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkAh2QiBn_w , https://www.youtube.com/c/IBMTechnology/videos

https://medium.datadriveninvestor.com/artificial-intelligence-and-autonomous-vehicles-ae877feb6cd2

Then eventually if AI has determined that you have used up too many carbon credits for the week, you might have to stay home for the next few days.

https://greenerideal.com/news/environment/track-your-carbon-footprint-pros-and-cons Several people already like the idea of being constantly tracked and monitored. They seem to want a world where one has to constantly get permission to almost do anything.

If people aren't careful, they could just become like mice in a laboratory maze where you might even have to seek permission just to spin on the hamster wheel.

AI and environmental management for the human herd should never be allowed to take over the world. That is unless most people want to have a BORG like planet.

Digital Hamsters in HK?

Unfortunately, having your hamster or other pets killed and replaced with digital versions, doesn't really bring them back.

The OLD, Cabin in the Woods...

https://www.polygon.com/what-to-watch/22605672/old-m-night-shyamalan-movies-to-watch-amazon-hbo-criterion

OLD is another bizarre movie where people are trapped at a location for nefarious reasons.

"With only the now-adult Maddox and Trent remaining by the next morning, Trent revisits a secret message given to him by the manager's nephew, which he deduces is connected to an underwater coral passage. Suspecting that the passage will allow him and Maddox to not lose consciousness while leaving the beach, he and his sister start swimming through the coral. After they fail to emerge from the water, a resort employee monitoring them reports that the entire group has died.

It is revealed that the resort is a front for a research team conducting clinical trials of new medical drugs, with guests suffering from conditions being used as unwitting test subjects. Since the beach naturally accelerates the lives of the guests, the researchers have been able to complete the drugs' lifetime trials within a day. The researchers move forward with luring a new group to the beach but are interrupted by the arrival of Trent and Maddox, who survived their underwater swim. Using the notebook as evidence of several guests going missing, the siblings are able to bring the police to the resort. Once the researchers are arrested, Trent and Maddox head home to live with their aunt, uncertain of their future." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_(film)#Plot


The people on that beach have essentially become like lab animals.

Like OLD, The_Cabin_in_the_Woods has a bunch of people running around like lab mice trapped in a maze.

"The lab workers learn that the rite in Japan has also failed, meaning that the American rite is "humanity's last hope". Curt, Holden, and Dana attempt to escape in their RV, but Sitterson triggers a tunnel collapse to block them. Curt attempts to jump a ravine on his motorcycle to seek help on the other side, but crashes into a force field and falls to his death. Holden and Dana realize that their experience is staged and controlled. As they try to escape in the RV, Holden is killed by a zombie, and Dana is attacked once the RV crashes into the lake.

The lab employees, seeing that Dana is the only survivor, celebrate the success of the rite, but are interrupted by a phone call from "The Director," revealing that Marty is still alive. Marty saves Dana and takes her to a hidden elevator he discovered. They descend into the lab and discover a large collection of different monsters locked in cages. Dana correlates them with the objects in the cabin's cellar and realizes that the objects determine which monsters are released. Cornered by security personnel, the pair trigger a "Purge" button and release all the monsters, which wreak havoc and slaughter the staff; Hadley is killed by a merman while Dana accidentally stabs Sitterson to death.

Dana and Marty flee and discover an ancient temple, where they are confronted by The Director. She explains that worldwide annual rituals of human sacrifice are held to appease the Ancient Ones, a group of cruel subterranean deities. Each region has its own ritual, and the American ritual involves the sacrifice of five slasher film archetypes.." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cabin_in_the_Woods#Plot
