Reply to if We Have Conscience - We Can Be One - We All Have it as One
My thanks for sharing insightful idea was to
Global Booksearch (http://www.google.com/profiles/globalbooksearch#buzz) as it was posted on Google Buzz:
This is a classic example of Winston Churchill's wisdom: "If we do not study history we are doomed to repeat it"
Are we so buried in the overload of finding and managing bits & pieces of today's data, that the picture made up by the individual components - many historic - is so obscured by our fascination with the granularity of today, that we virtually see nothing except our own image in the mirror?
It seems that the unintended consequences of many major actions become more important than the initial action itself! It is as if, many decision makers believe they are in a vacuum, devoid of history. So we repeat the drill. Yes, in slightly different circumstances, w/new characters, in different countries, but, the forward progress should be assessed as unacceptably slow. Please read more at: http://www.google.com/profiles/globalbooksearch#buzz
P.S.: I must express that excessive pressures of speedy changes are drastic for human life and nervous system and thus are spelling and other grammatical mistakes, is not it. Thanks!

If We Have Conscience - We Can Be One
Thanks for sharing such an insightful idea. We seem to have forgotten
the history of human civilization, and have created a virtual world -
a web in which we spend our life without ever knowing who has brought
us up to modern age. We seem as if we have no feelings of reverence
and thus consequently the feelings of shame. So, we justify all that
is wrong, inhuman ... illogical, etc.... by arrangements. "Only a fool
starts an argument to win it" says Plato.

This is well applicable to New World Order in which history of human
civilization starts when Industrial and Technological Revolution
started and all ends when Computer, IT and Nano Technology starts. It
forces our brains to see our image in everything, but if we look at
the mirror of history, we can notice we all have been same and all are
individually independent as well.
Will our age end up with one thought and emotion shared among all
without having any individuality is the question that our present seem
to ask for better future, is not it. Many think and feel that it may
seem odd or even to the developed countries, but how poorly and great
desperate people of these nations are living in makes all poor in the
developed countries feel concern about the future of our world in
which we wish that developed countries make efforts to preserve the
history and all natural resources for future of entire natural world
and including humanity. I think so and I may be wrong. Thanks!

Artificial Intelligence vs the human brain - A True Story
Here is a plea to all people working on Artificial Intelligence.
Please think about what you are doing, and try to avoid loose wiring.
My wife has suffered from Post-Natal depression ever since the birth
of our son 4 and half years ago. Yesterday, I took her into hospital
again to ensure that she is safe (she is plagued by voices at the
moment) whilst the new medication ramps up to a level which is
therapeutic for her.
This, as you may expect, is quite distressing for all of us. We have
support systems in place though, and my work are being frankly
fantastic about it all.
It gets me thinking though. I can program computers to get them to
behave in particular ways, but how do you rewrite the programming in a
brain.
I recently read 'Pragmatic Thinking and Learning - Refactor your
Wetware' by Andy Hunt (www.pragprog.com).
This is great for yourself, or even trying to suggest to others. I
have found some easy to apply tips and some which I need to get round
to trying, but one thing it shows is that we have set ways of doing
things. Our Logic/Linear-mode (L-mode) tends to be dominant, and seems
to have the most influence, unless, as the book suggests, we
deliberately try to get information from our Rich-mode (R-mode).
The key thing with this though is that we control the flow of
information, we determine if we will do it. We seem to have a
controlling Sensible-mode (S-mode).
And this is what I like about Computer Programming. A computer really
only sources from L-mode, and it allows the L-mode to control it. So I
can write a program that is logical, instructs the computer, and it
doesn't get anything else influencing it (well, assuming I have taken
care of external running factors such as OS, file locations...)
My wife though, is not controlling her own thoughts. What is, we don't
know, but not her. Her S-mode seems to lose it's control. Whether the
thoughts are L-mode or R-mode based (traditionally, it would look like
those things are "Right-brain" thought processes, although when she
explains her thoughts, you could argue the Logic-mode is having a
say).
Luckily, this time, my wife's S-mode seems to be working enough to
stop her finishing the act, but she is getting somewhere close to it
(popping enough pills out of a blister pack, but at the last minute,
throwing them in the bin instead of taking them).
So where am I going with this.
My opening request is to think about AI, and not introduce loose
wiring. Truly Artificial Intelligence should be able to think both in
L-mode and have R-mode, but with an overriding S-mode to control all
the thoughts.
I like programming because what I produce only has to act logically. I
am in turmoil because my wife has some 'loose wires' which are not
allowing her to act completely rationally, and I can't fix the bug in
the program to correct it.
If AI is a true goal of the computer technology industry, then lets
hope that the coding which goes into it won't allow for the loose
wires which screw up the controller, or else we might just have a lot
of depressive machines which need careful looking after whilst we feed
them lots of pill programs to try to make them better.
Here's hoping that the pills my wife is now taking soon start to sort
out her programming. I'm glad I never became a psychiatrist.

In Reply to Brain Mapping and Control by Computer - The Worst Kind of Terrorism and Extremism Humanity has Ever Faced Creating the Silence of Free Will and Conscience Inhumanly
Dear Friend, I would like to share the following research references:

http://conspiracyrealitytv.com/artificial-intelligence-and-human-brain-enhancement-human-v20/

Another works that are going against human consciousness are:
http://defensetech.org/2007/01/21/200-years-of-mind-control/
http://www.nanorobotdesign.com/
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090615102036.htm
I hope it can give better insight, the Google keywords for it are:
artificial intelligence, Nano Technology, brain mapping, brain
tapping, false creation of God or Messiah, harms to human
consciousness and conscience
http://lucianarchy.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=philosophical&action=print&thread=7789
Can you believe that this can make think, feel and act as if you are
God or Prophet?
So, there does not seem an end to natural world, including human
suffering as it seems that the artificial intelligence is trying to
control the entire human race one way or the other. Thanks!

Brain Mapping and Control by Computer - The Worst Kind of Terrorism and Extremism Humanity has Ever Faced Creating the Silence of Free Will and Conscience Inhumanly

"Although still largely experimental, devices that decipher brain
signals are advancing quickly and allowing some fully paralyzed people
to interact with the world Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can
trap the mind inside an immobile body. It destroys the nerves that
control muscles, eventually leaving patients without the ability to
speak or even flick their eyes to one side. In the past few years,
however, researchers have started to equip a few such "locked-in"
patients, including those paralyzed by stroke or other diseases, with
communication devices that unlock their minds.
For decades, science-fiction writers have envisioned computers that
communicate directly with the brain. Now a rapidly expanding clique of
researchers is making it a reality. A few laboratories started
developing these so-called brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) in the
1980s and have been refining them since then (Science, 29 October
1999, p. 888). Now several dozen teams have entered the field.
Together they're improving upon early BCI models and coming up with
new ways to read brain signals. According to BCI pioneer Jonathan
Wolpaw of the Wadsworth Center, part of the New York State Department
of Health in Albany, "it's a very exciting time; a lot of people are
getting involved."
Most BCIs read brain waves, the electrical impulses created by neural
activity that can be detected--albeit fuzzily--through the scalp. By
diligently controlling their mental activity, patients can choose
letters to spell words, guide a cursor, or direct crude robots. But a
rival circle of scientists is rapidly advancing a type of BCI that is
implanted inside the brain. Such devices tap into the more detailed
neural signals relayed by individual neurons. The most sophisticated
of these implanted BCIs have recently enabled monkeys to play video
games and even manipulate robotic arms. Whether the implanted devices
will actually lead to more versatile and workable BCIs than the
external type is a matter of fierce debate.
In the past few years, brain-wave BCI technologies have been advancing
rapidly, providing faster spelling, better cursor control, and headway
into prosthetics, environmental-control devices, and smart
wheelchairs. The advances are fueled in part by cheaper and more
sophisticated computer hardware and software, which has given BCI
researchers access to portable machines that perform complex
mathematical manipulations on the fly. Good old-fashioned funding
helps, too: The National Institutes of Health awarded $3.3 million in
late 2002 to a partnership headed by the Wadsworth group to further
develop software that can test several BCI systems to see which is
best for a patient. Researchers can also use the software to build and
test their own brain-tapping technologies."

...
The basic framework for BCI2000 is now complete, and Wolpaw expects
details to be published soon. It has four easily adaptable modules
that handle the four essential functions of a BCI. One takes the raw
brain signal, amplifies it, and encodes it digitally. Another extracts
the desired features of the brain signal, such as a mu rhythm or P300
signal, and translates that signal into a command, such as movement of
a cursor in a certain direction. The third controls a device, say, one
that navigates the Internet or operates a prosthetic arm. And the
fourth allows a user to start and stop the BCI and to specify details,
such as the speed, of its operation.
The software has already had an impact on the field. In spring 2002,
South Florida's Donchin needed to upgrade his BCI, which was
incompatible with state-of-the-art PCs, so he could start testing
disabled patients. Donchin met with Wolpaw and Schalk at a BCI
conference in Rensselaerville, New York, in June 2002 and described
his predicament. Schalk volunteered to do the necessary programming on
BCI2000. Within 2 weeks, Schalk managed to get Donchin's BCI up and
running, enabling Donchin to bring it to New York City to test it on
his first patient (this author's father) in September.
Georgia State's Moore and her colleagues are using BCI2000 to develop
an environmental-control system that allows a user to turn on and off
lights, a television set, and a radio with brain waves. They've also
built a communication system in which a person can select words from a
list of nouns, verbs, and objects, and that will predict words and
even conversations, potentially providing faster communication than
traditional spellers allow. Their Web browser causes a cursor to hop
from one Web link to the next in response to altered brain signals.
So far these prototype applications have been largely tested on
simulated brain signals, but Moore has just started testing them on
healthy volunteers and will soon include patients with spinal cord
injuries or early-stage ALS. Eventually, Moore plans to run all of
these applications on a laptop mounted to a smart wheelchair under
development that will also be controlled by brain waves.

The other point is that it can create opinions, change them, make one
hate or love.
For example, one may start loving China or Hate it based on this
experiment. The same is true for Musical and any other religion,
community, civilizations and far more that words do not allow.
It has brought all human values, ethics and philosophical thinking to
collapse in the laboratories. The terrorism in the world, wars, and
all that we see, hear or view in media is just hiding this grave
experimentation leading to extinction of human wisdom.
We need to pay attention to it lest it is too late. Please pray or
seek that this global and thus universal suffering must come to an end
as soon as possible. Thanks!

The richest people are now running the world in science, trade and technology. Do they make all scientists and technologists to work only for them?
It seems that the group of richest people are now running the world in
science, trade and technology. They make all scientists and
technologists to work for them. They are not many, but if anyone
opposes them they work as if a mafia.
science, trade and technology. They make all scientists and
technologists to work for them. They are not many, but if anyone

The politicians and global market is set by them all possible ways to
benefit them in the best possible.
Most of the global movements that seem philanthropic, religious,
education and thus all that make more earning is just their tools. It
simply keeps public silent.
Thus, no one knows, who is the boss. However, our systems are thus has
gone corrupt. The only solution seems easy and helpful is to trust our
conscience. Thanks!

3. Neutral
This poll is for awareness that we need to coexist whether we are rich
or poor. It can help in creating healthier environment if we know that
for greater good, we have to support what favors all equally not some
people, who simply want to be rich or always keep getting richer this
way or that. It is thus about social health and health of nature from
which we use all resources. We may agree, disagree or give no opinion.
It depends.
This article can be helpful to keep aware that world now need some
attention to social problems present globally. which are of the common
people: <a href="http://www.britannica.com/bps/additionalcontent/18/34369611/Billions-The-Politics-of-Influence-in-the-United-States-China-and-Israel">Billions:

<b>Summary:</b>
"The article reports on the influence of rich people on politics. It
is noted that in most cases, billionaires have used their control of
media to solidify their influence in politics. Some of these people
who allegedly use their influence to control politics are Thaksin
Shinawatra of Thailand, Sheldon Adelson of the U.S. and oligarchs
Carols Hank Gonz√°lez and Carlos Slim Hel√π. It is asserted that
Adelson was prepared to lose $180 million to elect Netanyahu in
Israel. Adelson is one of the many influential American Jew to have
re-positioned themselves to the right of American Israel Public
Affairs Committee (AIPAC)."
Thanks for your concern for natural world and us, the humans.
