" The Science and Entertainment Exchange (or SEEX) has consulted on over 1300 films and TV shows in less than 10 years, but outside of Hollywood few people know who they are and what they do. Are they merely concerned with promoting science and encouraging young people to take up scientific careers, or is there a weirder and darker side to their Hollywood operations?"The UK is full of little cameras on poles! What gets me is how many people are paying to be monitored by Amazon Echo etc - have they never watched "Person of Interest!?"
Basically, it connects scientists with film producers and script writers who then get their ideas into our consciousness.
An example of this, is the film, Batman Forever. Not saying the Exchange worked on the film or that it was even in existence at the time but the script sounds a lot like it came from DARPA (Akiva Goldman, who rewrote the script is a questionable man). I thought it was pretty candid about the future and tech. Here’s a scene about Ed. Nygma’s presentation.
Bruce Wayne: “Edward, if you can introduce images into the mind, what stops you from extracting images out of the mind?”
Other quotes not in this particular scene;
Edward : “Yes. TV. Balm to the minds of the masses. The great deadener.”
Batman: “You've devised a way to map the human brain. To read men's minds.”
RIDDLER: “Oh, Bruce, you are clever. How fitting that numbers lead you to me. For numbers will crown me king. My Box will sit on countless TV's around the globe, mapping brains, giving me credit card numbers. Bank codes. Safe combinations. Numbers of infidelities. Of crimes. Of lies told. No secret is safe from my watchful electronic eye. I will rule the planet. For if knowledge is power then tremble world, Edward Nygma has become a God.”
Fast forward, 18yrs later, President Obama announced the Brain (mapping) Initiative cloaked in benevolent “aims to help researchers uncover the mysteries of brain disorders, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, depression, and traumatic brain injury (TBI).”
Ofcourse, the benevolent “Participants in BRAIN and affiliates of the project include DARPA and IARPA as well as numerous private companies, universities, and other organizations in the United States, Australia, Canada, and Denmark.”
