There is a commonality in many sci-fi films, where these futurist visions all have humanity building and progressing further upwards in order to deal with expanding populations, which resulted in the construction of super-mega cities compared to our current large cities. The 5th Element Traffic is everywhere, not just at ground level. Cars are at all levels of living in […]

Putting an artificial intelligence agent in charge of complex facets of human life involves specific goals to be worked towards. What happens when there are multiple artificial intelligence agents within a larger system that are managing the economy, traffic and other environmental challenges and trying to meet each of their own specific goals? If I have the goal to do […]

Are we as humans taking more from planet Earth than it can sustain and replenish? When the quantity of materials required to produce something is reduced over time, this is called dematerialization. The above question is the main objective behind understanding dematerialization. sourceAs there is an increase in technical performance, there is a reduction in the need for material. Technology […]

There is currently a lot of desire and attraction towards transhumanism and immortality. It’s being portrayed as some wonderful thing. I don’t view it as such. They want to incorporate technological augmentation into their body, “justified” by their desires, wants, wishes and predilections to “improve” and “overcome” certain aspects of being human they view as “limitations”. They want to extend […]

Erroneous automated information is favored even when accurate contradictory non-automated information is presented. A person becomes complacent of their own ability to discern reality because they rely too much on an automated system. Instead of being aware and vigilant to seek and process information, […]

Taking in something with the 5 senses induces aspects of reality. If you can’t trust your 5 senses then you can’t trust anything. The 5 senses must be trusted and used more exhaustively to provide more data points of input to discern more accurately, not abandoned as unreliable. We need more data points to create more correspondences, more knowledge about […]

How were weapons created? Were they created for defense? If so, defense against who? If you are defending yourself, someone is attacking. Who was attacking? Other humans were attacking (or other animals). If other humans were attacking, and you are defending, that means defense was not first. First was the attacking by others. Weapons are the tool for an advantage […]

The scientific efficiency of production was able to provide more time for others things. Division of labor, compartmentalization, hierarchy, and co-dependence was further ingrained in our way of living. This conditioning was further deepened with the progression of the scientific efficiency in social sciences, i.e. social engineering through a scientific dictatorship. We were promised more time with this efficiency, and […]

The ease of living is creating more enslavement rather than freeing us. We should be using our extra time, from the comfort and ease of living, to pursue Truth and justice, but we are too comfortable in our conveniences that we seek more selfish pleasure pursuits to increase the comfort and convenience even more. We also justify the self-imposed chains […]
