Also, when watching it in theaters, I thought that each storyline was its own and actually occured. And that the conquistador/doctor/astronaut were all reincarnations of the same person. Although I'm still beyond understanding HOW or WHY the astronaut was in space in a bubble, I accepted it as truth for the year 2500. A friend though, revealed to me that there is really only one storyline, with the astronaut not able to finish the conquistador story for Izzy's ghost. I'm not really sure what to think about any of it. Everyone I know who saw it says something different about what was going on and what was real or just inside his head.

While watching it, many distinct religions of different times were alluded or portrayed. They all seemed to hold some truth within the world of the film, and appeared interconnected. What if all spiritual thoughts hold some greater truth? I cried the first time I saw the film.

Although it's an interesting viewpoint to propose in front of the lawmakers, I don't (personally) believe saying weed is better than X (herione, cocaine, ex, alcohol, etc..) will help anyone discover whether we should have laws against it. We should examine it as its own, and its effects.
Perhaps the early formations of laws prohibiting alot of drugs and narcotics were corrupt in some way, but now we ought to really look at the moral, and even scientific evidence for whether this is a good or bad thing for the rest of the community.
ps. being libertarian, I support all drug legalization.

Everytime I take a sociology or psychology class, it all seems so obvious to me. I find it hard to believe that people had to be geniuses to figure this stuff out and put it into a journal or paper, when I've been making the same observations and predictions about people my entire life. I'm known to be a kind of social engineer at times. Unfortunately, for me, I don't have a heavy interest in this stuff.

As far as I remember about the mouse brain project, they said that in fact, each neuron could send messages to many, many other neurons (somewhere around 16K I think?) so basically each neuron could be in a state of thousands.
sidenote: it's kind of funny, I'm taking this computer theory class and we're doing DFA's/NFA's/language production and the whole semester I thought it was all theory crap, but now it looks like those patterns might also be found inside the brain? (not just computers). Interesting.

Learn to set aside time for homework every night, no matter what. Most university's are looking for 85+ grades. Also, to gain an edge, join the english type of clubs (poetry, creative writing, writing for the school's paper) and try to do some note-worthy things (like write a poem that gets published, or become the chief editor of the school newspaper, etc). Oh, and study hard for the SAT's. The SAT's will let you get into a school if your GPA is a little low.

What happens, happens. Although caring if people lived or died has been around since forever, being able to keep people alive under tremendous circumstance is very recent. If someone is dying and incapable of caring for themselves after a long period of time they might as well be dead. I'd want someone to pull the plug on me if I was disabled like that.

My computer science teacher mentioned that if you really master the "art of computer science" you are really mastering "the art of problem solving", which was very intriguing. I thought about it for a while, and I think if you get a solid basis in computer science you seem to be able to learn things alot quicker. I found I could think in terms of computers and logic to see patterns in new information (such as a foreign language or social science).

I already think of the brain as several thousand tiny men reasoning out situations and offering their input to the boss (flow of consciousness). In programming, atleast in object oriented languages, we group attributes, abilities, and methods into units called "objects" which each do their part for the larger program. You could think of the brain as a variety of object processors, each with their own unique abilities and coding, that place their emphasis onto the conscious mind (I think of it as groups of men coming to agreement then placing their vote to the larger pool).
The predicted use of artificial minds (agents) in computer systems is to place them in big groups called clusters to tackle out a problem or problems. Each agent is coded to generate itself with a different point of view in order to bring variety to the clusters. These clusters may be combined with other clusters to form new, larger clusters, and so on. People working in this field right now say that an "artificial mind" can actually be several minds working together inside a unit, and maybe thousands of minds working inside each of those, and so forth.
And on the subject of developing a mind based on humans. No, too messy. I wouldn't bother with it. haha.

To define politics more exactly:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics
-
Humans are full of wants and needs. If you put one human alone on an earth-like planet he would have no need for politics. But of course that's impossible to do, so we must communicate between those with varying degrees of power/authority in many different sectors (people who have food and no money versus people who have money but are hungry, etc). The very act of talking to someone new can instantly prove who is one which side and what they're status is. In fact, in America atleast, some of the first questions we ask when we meet someone new are: what do you do for a living, where are you from, do you have a family (around here), and other class-revealing snippets we use to place this new person (object) into our ranking system in our head. You can't help it, everybody categories everyone else.
Categorizing and ranking aren't essentially bad things (these words have stigma attached because we try to be so political correct nowadays). It's just a fact of our brains to place things in order and put emphasis on things we deem important. It's a survival tool. You should know who has power over you in some way and who doesn't or you might get messed up within the system (society).
Everybody has their place, and everybody has something to offer (or should). Society dictates what is important and needed and what is not. In order to gain what you do not have you must negotiate and communicate through politics. In America, we have alot of ways to get what we want, and some are becoming outdated. But it is needed for humans to offer what they have in order to get what they want.

Depends on what language you use to decide it, I guess. A single object or a group of objects could have different genders or classifications to people in different cultures. And depending on what shuzak actually is - a community, the hardware beneath it, the thing originally inside the founder's heads, what it is to an individual user.
But I would have to say it's male, because I've never thought of a computer as female. Kinda like sailors might call their ship a she or her.

Yeah, I'm sure it wouldn't happen overnight. Atleast enough time before the technology can give such extremely potent benefits that people in power would forsee the great divide that would occur between the superhumans and the rest of us.
Not every brain is equal (whether this is due to nature or upbringing is beside the point) and if you could put a little electronic device in your head that'll give you enhanced memory, the ability to do complex equations in your head, or other abilities, I'm sure you'd go for it. You'd even want it for your kids. Especially if alot of other people you knew were having it done (kinda like plastic surgery nowadays). I used to wish, as a kid in grade school, that all this crap they wanted me to know could just be plugged into my head so I didn't have to sit in class so much.
It's amazing to think we even could reverse-engineer the mind, but I definitely think it's possible. The more and more we study it, make experiments, isolate and categorize portions of the brain, the more we find it's really just a system. It follows a set design, from the time it's just a single cell inside the mother's womb, to right before it dies. It performs functions, does calculations, monitors activity, etc. I know we can replicate it, it's just a matter of time. Once we do, though, it'll be a glorious thing.
And I wonder about your idea of inserting the entire brain into a computer, Ati. It makes me think about whether anyone's got a soul or not? And what is a soul? But I guess that's a topic in philosophy. Perhaps one day we'll all just be held within a simulation? Where ours thoughts, our presence, is actually inside a big computer. Maybe we think it's the real world, but for some reason we can't live in a 'real world', and so our ancestors decided we be born and raised within a simulated one. (Maybe the earth became too polluted, or something. Or some alien race took over and said this is the only way we can live. I don't know. Think bad sci-fi movies.)
Cognitive Science - Posted By Tom - Karma received: 2 |

This is great news. I haven't really studied much on how the brain stores information yet. I would imagine it has something to do with the brains ability to sort out the myriad pieces of info it gets per second and probably how well it is at tagging or categorizing those pieces before they're 'let go' (erased from short-term memory). Maybe you could even optimize knowledge once you figured out the brains sort/store algorithms and be able to trickle in all the information of the world over just a few weeks. People wouldn't even need to go to school anymore. Maybe everybody in the world would start at the same level intellectually, and each would be able to serve some remarkable purpose (alot more Einsteins).
But also, if this technology advances to that degree, I wonder how early you could put it in a human? Probably not until their teens or 20's, I think. Because the brain is still actively learning all it can until about age 30-35, then it slows down. And I'm sure if you were to put these things in very young children (10 or younger) there would be a gigantic change in their social skills. But maybe, also, we could write code that would give them social skills, if we cracked the brain's actual source? Maybe even further, we could place in artificial memories into these little kids (ala' Matrix)? Would it all be right? Would we still be human? Probably. Human 2.0. We evolve ourselves.

My playwriting teacher recently made us spend the entire class writing paragraphs about subjects and situations he said outloud, for about 3-5 minutes per subject. He yelled at the person if they didn't keep writing and said just keep jotting down "blahblahblah" or make little ring-marks on the paper if you have to think. The point was to break the idea that you have to know what's actually going to happen next in your writing. He said writer's block comes to alot of people because they think too far ahead, and it's true. I remember back when I used to write daily if I pushed my thoughts too far ahead in the story I'd always end up having to stop for the day cuz I'd get scattered and unable to think clearly about what I should be writing for that moment.

We're all within the same system (the universe) and all of these actions matter performs can be called computations. Everything follows the rules (we do not know all of the rules yet, obviously). Humans and other beings also abide by these rules, though they have means to interpret and understand them (consciousness). Beings are just complex objects within the universe's system. When I think about it, I wonder if maybe the entire universe is conscious, manipulating its insides to perfection. The system, of course, is (so far) flawless in its calculations (flawless to what we know of, which could go into a philosophical debate about simulations, and stuff) and we being within the system, a part of it, and conscious, I think the whole entire universe COULD be conscious. Self-aware of itself and able to sustain its being.

The geeks think for themselves and decide they don't need a god or that there isn't one logically (as alot of geeks are proone to math, logic, statistics, etc.) Also, being anti-social or seperated from the group can cause a distorted ego, where YOU are god (i.e. - I feel like god when I'm writing programs), or because you possess secret knowledge (things most other people wouldn't bother with, but you're obcessed about, making you superior in some way).

I don't think I've ever argued with myself, because that would probably require time. You make decisions by pitting the predicted outcomes of a situation out inside your mind, it just happens very quickly so you don't notice you actually thought about a bunch of wrong things before you got it right. Atleast that's what I believe happens anyway. When I get that sensation while I'm thinking really hard about a math problem or making a tough, critical decision, I imagine that's what's really going on behind the scenes.

A marriage or legal union is really just paperwork from the government issueing them. It's a credited source used to solidify statements and agreements between two people. Like needing a notary to sign certain papers - it's just a voucher for people to say they are legally bound to one another in this way or that. Putting aside the tax, insurance, bank, etc benefits it seems like all homosexuals are really just fighting for a chance to be recognized by a legal source (such as the US government) to be shown as equal to other people who are not homosexual.
It's a pursuit of happiness thing. We've created this idea of marriage over whatever amount of thousands of years. It represents love, commitment, maybe the ultimate gift you can offer someone - yourself, forever. The homosexual people want to be able to offer and show this gift off to the community. Right now, it's as though the government and the majority of people don't think homosexuality is even real -- or that it's even love. I think in America this is based on alot of religious background in our history. Which isn't bad, it just doesn't allow alot of progressiveness for these changes in society.

You definitely learn to appreciate stimuli when you fast or obstain from anything. I fast from certain foods or from food altogether for set time periods, and at the end, I feel like I can really enjoy them afterwards. That's not really why I do it, there's religious/spiritual motivation behind it, but you will notice you won't take food (or whatever you fast from) for granted for a while, till you fast again.
On the subject of fasting from food, try eating very light the day before, with foods that aren't very flavorful (dry bread, rice, etc). Drink alot of water while you're doing it, too, that helps get past the actual empty feelings in your stomach. Good luck.
