Can you imagine how Transhumanism is going to change the nature of torture? 

I've seen both GITS and played Dues Ex. (This is Bo)

What sorts of thoughts did they have you think about?

 I really liked the scene with the singing and scenes of the city 

I’ve studied now, to my regret,
Philosophy, Law, Medicine,

and—what is worst—Theology.
from end to end with diligence.
Yet, here I am, a wretched fool
and still no wiser than before.
I’ve become master, and Doctor as well,
and for nearly ten years I have led
my young students a merry chase.
up, down, and every which way—
and find we can’t have certitude.
This is too much for heart to bear!
I well may know more than all those dullards,
those doctors, teachers, officials and priests,
be unbothered by scruples or doubts,
and fear neither hell nor its devils—
but I get no joy from anything either,
know nothing that I think worthwhile,
and don’t imagine that what I teach
could better mankind or make it godly . . .
No dog would want to linger on like this!...
Alas! I’m still confined to prison
Accursed, musty hole of stone
to which the sun’s fair light itself
dimly penetrates through the painted glass.
Restricted by this great mass of books
that worms consume, that dust has covered
and that up to the ceiling-vault
are interspersed with grimy papers...
And still you wonder why your heart
is anxious and your breast constricted,
why a pain you cannot account for
inhibits your vitality completely!
You are surrounded, not by the living world
in which God placed mankind,
but, amid smoke and mustiness,
only by bones of beasts and of the dead...

Sustained by hope, imagination once
soared boldly on her boundless flights;
now that our joys are wrecked in time’s abyss,
she is content to have a narrow scope.
Deep in our heart Care quickly makes her nest,
there she engenders secret sorrows
and, in that cradle restless, destroys all quiet joy;...
You empty skull, why bare your teeth at me,
unless to say that once, like mine, your addled brain
sought buoyant light but, in its eagerness for truth,
went wretchedly astray beneath the weight of darkness.

- Faust, Goethe  

The Forest, Gustave Dore

If you are to achieve this, you'll need someone who's already wealthy to invest in your ideas. When such a time arises you will need prototypes or very thorough designs. And to obtain such things you need to know what you're doing, hence you have a steep learning curve ahead of you. 

As both a benefit and a hindrance, you've been liberated from the clutches of University. You've lost resources and structure, but in actuality such things were merely constraints - minimizing constraints expands the solution space. You're now afforded a more radical approach built on pure will genius, the radical genius. And, I assure you that what you want will require a radical mind. 

You need practical mathematics for modeling your ideas and prototyping quickly. 

Vector calculus will be necessary for any Electrical or Mechanical engineering you might do, specifically you need to understand the Gauss' Divergence Theorem and Stokes'/Kelvin-Stokes/Green's theorems'. These theorems are the foundations of Maxwell's Equations which I'm sure you've heard of but yet to really use. 

Vector Calculus - Very brief 

Vector Calculus - Thorough 

The Theorems of Green, Stokes, and Gauss

Probability Theory will be necessary because it's the foundation of modeling information and also would be needed if you ever wanted to study QM. There is no better teacher than Kolmogorov, his text is short and concise. 

Foundations of the Theory of Probability

Information theory will allow you to model the transfer of information, and conceptually it can be applied broadly. As in, you can model the way information moves through a circuit, wire, space, or a neurological system. You mentioned you are concerned with the transfer of energy and what it fundamentally is, information theory can do just that as you may rewrite a lot of physics in terms of information. Information theory actually comes out of statistical mechanics(thermodynamics) which deals with the study of entropy, hence the deep relationship between information and energy is applied. Below is Claude Shannon's paper that lunched the theory. I will also include a great overview of the history and context of the theory because it will be very useful to you. If you want a textbook I can recommend Arieh Ben-Naim's book - he also has a number of papers that may be of interest. 

The Mathematical Theory of Communication - Shannon

Mathematical Theory of Claude Shannon - Context

You will need a practical understanding of Electromagnetism

For the theory you need not look any further than Oliver Heaviside, you will also like him because he's a genius that defied the all the standards of the time. He came up with Vector Analysis and reformulated Maxwell's original 20 equations into only four, those are the four everyone learns today. His formulation is similar to Newtons, Newton invented Calculus to model the phenomenon he was witnessing and Heaviside formulated Vector Analysis to model the phenomenon he was witnessing. The difference is Heaviside was a high school drop out and did all his work from a spare room as his parents house whom he moved back in with after he quite his job as a telegrapher. Below are the three volumes and also Maxwell's publication that contains the original 20 equations. 

Electromagnetic Theory Volume I - Heaviside

Electromagnetic Theory Volume II - Heaviside 

Electromagnetic Theory Volume III - Heaviside 

A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field - Maxwell 

The contemporary theory of EM is quantized but the above should get you by. If you want to go to the quantum level then Read Dirac(start with him), Heisenberg/Born/Jordan(Quantum Field Theory), and Landau(specifically his 4th volume). 

Dirac: 

1. The Principals of Quantum mechanics
2. The Quantum Theory of Emission and Absorption of Radiation -QFT and Electrodynamic theory begin here

Heisenberg/Born/Jordan:

1. On Quantum Mechanics I - Born and Jordan
2. On Quantum Mechanics II - Born, Jordan, Heisenberg

Landau: 

1. Relativistic Quantum Theory

I know you majored in Electrical Engineering while attending University so I am sure you can navigate those waters, but I do recommend studying the work of Steinmetz. He's a forgotten genius who is essentially responsible for the modern world in so far as the engineering of electricity and magnetism is concerned. He side by side Tesla in developing Alternating current among several really amazing mathematical conceptions and formulations that made EM theory practical and usable in industry - his methods are still very much the standard. 

Elementary Lectures of Electrical Discharges, Waves, & Impulses

Theory and Calculation of Transient Electric Phenomena and Oscillations

Theory and Calculation of Alternating Current and Phenomena

I'd like to use transhumanism to mindwipe criminals and augment them into servitors to be used as manual drone labor for mankind. 


A perfect resource for creating servitors would be subhumans like pedophiles that don't seek help.

 Enslaving labor, how Marxist of you.

 I told you have I two tendencies I see. 

I am fine with the end goal being marxist, or the end goal not being marxist but still utilizing marxist-leninist applications to the state. Just not one where it withers away. 


I got some fantasies in my head alright? Whether or not these things come into fruition is a different topic.

lol yes that's all good and fine. 

It was just a sarcastic whip.
