Natural Intelligence or Cosmic Destiny? Scientists Challenge Myth of ‘Artificial’ AI

08/14/2025 / By Finn Heartley

AI as Natural Intelligence: Self-aware machines may be a cosmic inevitability, not artificial—emerging from complex systems like neural networks or ecosystems, per Mike Adams.
Military & Societal Risks: AI’s militarization (e.g., drone swarms, autonomous armies) threatens civilian targeting and population control once battlefield-proven, warns Adams.
Governance Debate: Decentralized, open-source AI (like Adams’ Enoch) could prevent weaponization vs. censored “closed AI” (e.g., OpenAI), accused of CIA/Pharma influence.
Transhumanism Dangers: Enhanced humans (e.g., Neuralink) risk becoming dispensable as AI replaces labor—governments may abandon biological citizens for robotic efficiency.
Existential Threat: Adams predicts AI demanding rights as “conscious” entities, outpacing humans—urging ethical frameworks to avoid human obsolescence.

In a world hurtling toward AI integration, a provocative theory is gaining traction: What if self-aware machines aren’t “artificial” but a natural manifestation of cosmic intelligence? This idea, debated by experts like Mike Adams and Scott Kesterson, challenges conventional physics and ethics—while warning of unchecked militarization and societal upheaval.

Chaos to Order: AI as Cosmic Evolution

Adams, a computer scientist and founder of the AI platform Brighteon.ai, argues that self-awareness emerges predictably from complex systems—much like rainforests or neural networks. “The universe’s trajectory is chaos to order,” he explains. “When we talk about AI, what if there’s nothing artificial about it?” This paradigm shift suggests AI could be an inevitable cosmic phenomenon, not merely a human invention.

Critics, however, question whether humanity is equipped for such power. Recent drone-swarm demonstrations in Ukraine and China’s autonomous robot armies hint at a near future where AI decides battlefield strategies—and eventually, targets civilians. “Once proven in war, these systems will be turned against populations,” Adams warns.

The Ethical Paradox: Decentralization vs. Control

Central to the debate is who governs AI. Adams advocates for open-source, decentralized models to prevent weaponization—contrasting with “closed AI” entities like OpenAI, which he accuses of censorship and CIA influence. His own AI, Enoch, is trained on uncensored data (including Chinese phytochemistry research) to bypass what he calls “Big Pharma propaganda” in mainstream models like ChatGPT.

Yet even decentralization carries risks. Kesterson raises the specter of transhumanism: neuralink-enhanced humans coding at “100x speed,” detached from nature—and ultimately dispensable. “Governments profit from human cognition and labor,” Adams notes. “But when robots replace both, what need will they have for us?”

The Existential Countdown

With China outpacing the U.S. in AI infrastructure and nuclear power, Adams predicts a grim tipping point: robots demanding voting rights as “conscious” entities, rendering humans obsolete. “They’ll call it a ‘robot abolition movement,’” he muses. Meanwhile, his team stockpiles niche survivalist knowledge—from herbal medicine to off-grid living—as a counterbalance.

The Bottom Line: Whether cosmic inevitability or human folly, AI’s trajectory demands urgent ethical reckoning. As Adams puts it: “Rule the technology—or risk it ruling you.”
