The study of consciousness and what makes us individuals is a topic filled with complexities. From a neuroscience perspective, consciousness is derived from a self-model as a unitary structure that shapes our perceptions, decisions and feelings. There is a tendency to jump to the conclusion with this model that mankind is being defined as self-absorbed and only being in it for ourselves in this life. Although that may be partially true, this definition of consciousness doesn’t necessarily address the role of morals and how that is shaped into our being. In the latest addition to The Galactic Public Archives, Dr. Ken Hayworth tackles the philosophical impact that technologies have on our lives.

Our previous two films feature Dr. Hayworth extrapolating about what radical new technologies in neuroscience could eventually produce. In a hypothetical world where mind upload is possible and we could create a perfect replica of ourselves, how would one personally identify? If this copy has the same memories and biological components, our method of understanding consciousness would inevitably shift. But when it comes down it, if we were put in a situation where it would be either you or the replica – it’s natural evolutionary instinct to want to save ourselves even if the other is an exact copy. This notion challenges the idea that our essence is defined by our life experiences because many different people can have identical experiences yet react differently.

Hayworth explains, that although there is an instinct for self-survival, humanity for the most part, has a basic understanding not to cause harm upon others. This is because morals are not being developed in the “hard drive” of your life experiences; instead our morals are tied to the very idea of someone just being a conscious and connected member of this world. Hayworth rationalizes that once we accept our flawed intuition of self, humanity will come to a spiritual understanding that the respect we give to others for simply possessing a reflection of the same kind of consciousness will be the key to us identifying our ultimate interconnectedness.

Christiane Amanpour’s Misunderstanding “…Crisis …”

THIS IS A TRUE INTERVIEW EXCHANGE, AIRED BY CNN ON THE WEEK BETWEEN DEC/29/2014 AND JAN/02/2015.

CNN Journalist Christiane Amanpour: “…How does the Chinese government consider the Ebola Crisis in Africa and the world, Mr. Ambassador? …”

Chinese Ambassador: “…Things are no so bad as you and the so-called ‘West’ suggest.… You see, in English crisis is a one word expression, but in Traditional Chinese, Crisis is a two-word term, meaning: Danger and Opportunity …”

Quoted: “Tony Williams, the founder of the British-based legal consulting firm, said that law firms will see nearly all their process work handled by artificial intelligence robots. The robotic undertaking will revolutionize the industry, “completely upending the traditional associate leverage model.” And: “The report predicts that the artificial intelligence technology will replace all the work involving processing information, along with a wide variety of overturned policies.”

QUESTION: Reality Is A Consensual, Consensual, Conditionalized, And Assimilated Hallucination?

THIS IS NO DOGMA, BUT AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT P.O.V.

As I have mentioned elsewhere, beyond everything else, I am also an evidence-based researcher and to that end I must study tons and tons of literature.

In the United States, there is a nice thing. When someone is remarkable, his or her I.Q. is measured and made public.

Quoted: “If you understand the core innovations around the blockchain idea, you’ll realize that the technology concept behind it is similar to that of a database, except that the way you interact with that database is very different.

The blockchain concept represents a paradigm shift in how software engineers will write software applications in the future, and it is one of the key concepts behind the Bitcoin revolution that need to be well understood. In this post, I’d like to explain 5 of these concepts, and how they interrelate to one another in the context of this new computing paradigm that is unravelling in front of us. They are: the blockchain, decentralized consensus, trusted computing, smart contracts and proof of work / stake. This computing paradigm is important, because it is a catalyst for the creation of decentralized applications, a next-step evolution from distributed computing architectural constructs.

A whole nation found it fitting that a university professor with a lifetime call for endocrinology (hormonal diseases) was turned into a university professor of gastroenterology (diseases of the digestive tract) for which she had never specialized: by state decree. Her conscientious “no” stripped her of her honor, her title, her pension and her inherited house. The book she wrote while hoping for the courts to help, on the biological foundations of ageing with a prestigious publisher, did not prevent the raiding of her house in the presence of watchful police. State TV defamed her as “Germany’s laziest professor.”

The same resilience shown here by a human being I can attribute for once to a mere brainchild – Einstein’s most famous natural constant c. She, too, got degraded, stripped of her global validity to retain only her local validity. A bit like the non-removed M.D. of a degraded professor. Here, too, the whole profession decided to play it low and not come to the rescue of the honor of the unjustly defamed one.

There is a difference, of course. The honor of a person ranks much higher than the dignity of a constant. The scandal nonetheless is even bigger here: The physical survival of every person and the planet itself is tied to the rehabilitation of the poor constant.

The hatred displayed by a nation towards a person, paralleled by the hatred displayed by a globe-wide profession towards a constant? The poor Einsteinian constant c-global has been shown to make black holes unsafe. Therefore, the prestigious attempt to produce black holes down on earth, (#1) has become undetectable at first if successful and (#2) makes the planet with a probability in the percentage-range get shrunk to 2 cm after a few years’ delay.

Quoted: “Ethereum will also be a decentralised exchange system, but with one big distinction. While Bitcoin allows transactions, Ethereum aims to offer a system by which arbitrary messages can be passed to the blockchain. More to the point, these messages can contain code, written in a Turing-complete scripting language native to Ethereum. In simple terms, Ethereum claims to allow users to write entire programs and have the blockchain execute them on the creator’s behalf. Crucially, Turing-completeness means that in theory any program that could be made to run on a computer should run in Ethereum.” And, quoted: “As a more concrete use-case, Ethereum could be utilised to create smart contracts, pieces of code that once deployed become autonomous agents in their own right, executing pre-programmed instructions. An example could be escrow services, which automatically release funds to a seller once a buyer verifies that they have received the agreed products.”
