Thoughts about René Descartes the man, who existed and thought

Thoughts about René Descartes the man, who existed and thought

René Descartes (1) (1596-1650) was one of the most interesting persons, who has ever lived in Europe. He created an idea, that existence means that creature could think independently, and independence of thinking is the same thing, what the independence in life would be. So when creature thinks, that means creature exists. This idea is culminating in modern Artificial intelligence. Are we creating the machine, what exists, or what knows that it existed? This is a very interesting question because stones also exist but they don't know their existence. Or how could I know, does the stone know it's existence? 

I can think that stone is so different creature, that we cannot even notice, it's alive. So for us, it's the creature, what is dead and that's it. The thing is that Descartes was one of the most interesting persons in the history culminates in his work as the teacher of the Queen of Sweden, Christina (1626-1689), who was protestant. Descartes was Catholic and that thing is really interesting because in that time the 30 Years War was just ended, and Catholics had very bad relationships with protestants. 

So how Descartes allowed teaching the had of protestants? The thing is that Descartes died year after he came to Stockholm, is causing many theories about the methods, what this man used in his work. And the thing is that Christina turned to Catholic, and abdicated her crown is remarkable. 

So did Descartes use some kind of suggestion to that 22 years old woman? Those things are really interesting to think, and when we are looking at the work, what Descartes made in the field of research of the anatomy or natural sciences, we must realize that there is something that people are not understood, and that thing is that if Descartes wrote something, that man might mean something else. 

This thing is visible in the image, which is found on the Finnish Wikipedia page about this man. There is an image (3), that demonstrates the cooperation with hand and eye, and there is another explanation for that image. The thing is that the image might also represent the statue, which keeps the book in the hand. And when the time is coming, the sunlight would be conducted to the series of lenses and mirrors to the eyes of the statue, and that thing causes a fire. 

The thing is that the system might use the very big parabolic mirror for conducting the light to a small channel, where is the series of lenses and mirrors. I don't know does this thing work, but if the parabolic mirror, what size is two meters would target to a statue or intaking lens hours in shiny day, that thing might have a very big effect. I don't know did Descartes finalized his ideas, but this kind of thing is very interesting.

Fake news and how they are created

Fake news and how they are created

The fake news is made for supporting something. They are created for supporting ideology or some opinion. Most of the faked news is connected with things like medicine, foreigners and other kinds of things. The reason is that political leaders have affected to those questions. They are making laws about those things, and they are personal to some people.

Many times people are asking about the reason, why there is not much faked news about things like rockets and physics. The thing is that those people who are created fake news cannot affect that kind of things like black holes. So why waste time on making things, what does not affect?

The fake news has some purpose and that means that they are considering things, where people who are in political leadership in the nation can affect. When we are thinking about the normal form of fake news, we are facing things, where something has sone kind if costs, but in those things is not mentioned any positive things.

That means that the positive things or things that are supporting the opinion of the writer are used as sources. This thing is called the selective use of data.

And that thing makes fake news very dangerous because many of those things base real stories. But the story itself is strongly filtered. That means that there are only mentioned things that are supporting the opinions of the writer. Many times the fake news is made for supporting some politicians.

The thing is that there is no politician, who has caught that the fake news is made by the order of the politician itself. But the support can be given without asking permission of that politician. And that means that some nations can support the foreign politicians, who please them without telling that to supported politician self.

Space exploration is not science. It is the way to get scientific data, but the rocket itself in the form of engineering. And that means the members of normal nations parliaments have very little change to affect that kind of question.

When we are thinking about the miniature shuttles, there must have some purpose, why that equipment has been built. And the defense department would not tell the reason, why it orbits that kind of systems years in the orbiter because those things are quite expensive.

So nobody in the defense department is not told me the reason, why the X-37B has been built, but it might be some kind of multipurpose system, what can carry nuclear weapons, and act as the HCM (Hypersonic Cruise Missile). But there might have also other roles to that thing, what is one of the most mysterious space systems in the world. Those systems are the national secrets, and that means the data, that is shared is always limited.

How statistics and numbers are telling lies

How statistics and numbers are telling lies

In the beginning, I must say that words and numbers are telling lies, people are telling lies. Big numbers in statistics are a good and very confessing way to tell people, that most of them are behind some decision. And if most of the people are supporting something, the resistance is unnecessary. Who would resist things, what is benefiting the entire area like some new factories, but I will return to that thing later. The information what is delivered could be lies, but they can also be a little bit twisted, which means that the information would deliver in the form that 30% of people are supporting some decision, even if 70% was against that thing.

So as I have written many times before the most effective version for making statistics look like the real thing is to choose the sample that way, that it supports our interests or opinions. This means that we can choose persons for interviewing who are using the products, what we represent. This kind of things are probably some cases done by tobacco industries. The persons, who make interviews are choosing only smokers for the poll, where is "researched" people attitude about smoking. This is the best way to manipulate politics. If 80% of people are smoking, why there should limit that thing?

This is the key element in the manipulation of statistics. Its mission is to confess political leaders that most of the people are supporting some things, and that's why people should keep their mouth shut about things, what are a little bit embarrassing like the smoking disturbs people, who are not smokers. This is one thing, what we can use as an example of the use of statistics in the political field. One of the purposes of those statistics is just rolling the other opinions and researchers.

When we are thinking about the influence of the numbers and ethical marketing, we are normally facing situations, where some merchandise is marketed by using term price is only 4,95€, and that thing is basing the element that 4,95 looks like better than some prize, what is 5 or some other square of numbers. This thing is normally used marketing method. But how the numbers are used in statistics. One version is to say, that 60% of people, who are answering for questions have some kind of opinions, and at the same time is used the big numbers, that there were 261 000 persons, who have interviewed during research.

And there is no other information, like how the selection is done? Who were those 261 000 persons, who were selected for that sample? Big numbers are confessing thing in the public texts, the thing is that big numbers are meant for falling people, who are a different kind of opinions about things. Statistics and Gallup-polls are a fascinating combination when people are trying to influence politics and their decisions.

When we are thinking about one of the best examples when the politics are tried to confess, that some decision is really good are the cases, where the people are confessed, that they should support the building of the new factory. The thing what is told is that the project brings 10 000 new workplaces for the area, and that is a very impressive way to tell things. But one thing is forgotten to tell, and that is the type of jobs.

And actually, one other thing is also forgotten and that is are those workplaces going to hands of local people? That kind of things is forgotten to tell, that what kind of education is needed in those jobs, and also that people can send job applications form everywhere from the country is sometimes forgotten to tell. So this kind of things is normal weapons from marketing things.

Are human-reptilian hybrids true?

Are human-reptilian hybrids true?

1. There are two kinds of hybrids in the stories

1.1  The thing what makes possible to create those aliens are isolated areas, and the method, how to control them is fear. 

When we are thinking about military forces, that would create military operators, whose mission is to operate illegal assassination and mercenary operations. For keeping secrecy the commanders must make sure that those operators would not speak about this thing.

One very good method to control people is making that inmate fear something. And if a person has lived all the life in the closed and isolated military bases, there is only one truth and the truth is what the leaders would tell to be the truth.

1.2 The chief of the operator can claim to some operators, that they are hybrids because it will decrease the value of testimony. And those things make easier to deny the information, what those people are told. 

The commanders would claim, that if the person is telling their secrets to another those people would kill that operator. And this would make easier to control them.

In fact, military intelligence can claim that some operators are hybrids because that will able to make their stories less believable. And if the normal person would come and tell to be hybrid, it would cause sent to the mental hospital and those stories would not ever be believed.

2. Hybrids what are made by humanoids, who could be the scientists, who work in isolated military bases

Those hypothetical hybrids could be produced to operate on the Earth, and the reason, why possible humanoids would create those hybrid creatures is that they want real information, how people live on earth and also find interesting individuals for closer examination. The reason why humanoids would create hybrid organisms could be that those creatures would not have connections with the human race.

And maybe humanoids think that the racism and other kinds of things would keep those hybrids away from the humans, what denies them to tell the items of the humanoids and their technology to the human researchers. Maybe the hybrids mission is to assistant humanoids on Earth, and that's why they want to keep out from the humans.

3. Hybrids what are created by humans

Hybrid species would be excellent military operators. They would not have the same kind of relationship with social life and families. That means that those hybrids would act as the military commander orders and in those cases, things like a military command could use the humanoid-shaped remote-control robots.

Those creatures mission is to play humanoid to those hybrids, what could operate by special forces. Those hybrids would be loyal to their commanders, and they could order them to do everything, what they want because they would afraid to be uncovered.

Algorithms and fake news are a threat to democracy

Algorithms and fake news are a threat to democracy

As I have written before the same algorithms, what are used for marketing, can be used to target the propaganda on the Internet, and this makes them a very effective tool in the wrong hands. At the begin, we have faced cases, where politicians are suspected to send the trolls to their E-mails or social media accounts.

That would seem a very nice method to grow own popularity in the eyes of normal people. So politics is a dirty game, and that means that there are many people, who would use trolls to support their candidate. The messages that are full of hate and treats are a good way to bring publicity and also give a reason to be saying nothing. If that kind of candidate would not come to political discussions the reason could be afraid that something would happen.

When we are thinking about propagandists and their way to work, we are facing really uncertain methodology, where some Internet users are collecting a really big audience by sharing some kind of entertainment stuff on the net. And then they are turning their accounts to the tool of propaganda.

The big audience is a necessary thing for propagandists

The idea of this is that when the propagandist or PSY-OP-operator would start the mission, the information what is shared will get the largest audience, what those people can get. When we are thinking about psychological operations and fake news, there are many ways to accomplish the operation.

One of the things is to use manipulated images, where are connected details, like white powder on the table, by using photo manipulation programs, like Photoshop. Another way is to capture the accounts, which are used by respected journalists. In those cases, the propagandist would try to use the information is always very simple.

Propagandists believe in strong leadership

The data, what is shared is almost every time propped up by using the position as the manager. That means that the propagandists almost every time support the strong leadership, which would give them the chance to influence only one person, and strong leaders are good targets for flatterers. In those cases pleasing the leader is easier than please many people. The thing, what we ever thought or what we ever mentioned in the courses is that also journalists have political opinions. The world is full of people, who believe things like authoritarianism and totalitarianism. Some of those people are journalists. Have you ever visited in the non-democratic country?

There is a so-called official press, and there are people, who are writing stories in those official newspapers. Those people are really problematic because they are writing a very good language, and nobody actually realizes that the information, what those people share is shared without criticism and using one-side sources. The best weapon in the hands of propagandists is the subjective truth. Also in the propaganda weapons and violence are in the big role.

Those people are using many times the images, where the people, who they support are posing with guns, and they would many times tell people that if the comments are involving too much criticism those guns would be used against people, who are criticizing the data.  Violence is a very good way to order other people to keep their mouth shut, and one of the best argument is the neighbor what has 20 million nuclear weapons, and brainwashed military force. If you will irritate the leaders of that country they will attack immediately.

When they are telling about the rapes, they are telling only rapes, what are made by foreigners. And those people are really good to use pity as the weapon. If we would go to some dictatorial country, what goes on war, we would see the bodies of children. And of course, the government tells us that they would be killed by the enemy, but what is the truth? When people are telling something, or they are ordered to do something, we must ask one question, and that is "who is given orders to that thing, and what that person has actually ordered"?

Truth is a complicated thing

The truth is a very complicated thing, and maybe some airstrikes to villages have killed civilians but were there the radio-transmitter in that village. Or was the bombed shelter used the command center? This is a very good point to think about what we see, might be different, what we want to believe. And we always want to believe, that journalists are good people. Sometimes journalists have connections even to organized crime, and that kind of things are really embarrassing.

In the world is many dictators, whose secret police controls the press, and those people are playing reporters. They always have the explanations for everything and in that kind of cases, where the journalists are working as propagandists or troll-makers, they have always a very good way to keep people silent. The thing is that they have their own personal experience with that kind of crimes, and that would be a good way to make people silent.

Writing about truth and lies

Writing about truth and lies

If we want to find the absolute truth, we must find the evidence, and that kind of things are really difficult things. When somebody comes to the courtroom, that person would tell, that the fault was that inmate, who is sitting on the chair of prosecuted. This is the fictional example of how human brains work, and I have read it from some magazine.  But then that person starts to tell that other person made something unexpected during the situation, like accelerated speed, while the charged person came to the main road from behind the triangle.

That thing means that the person who is charged got hit to the right side of the vehicle, but another person accelerated the speed and the distance was safe when the turning was done. Without evidence that case would be difficult to the solute. The thing is that we cannot know who is telling lies if there are no marks for the burning rubber what is the mark of the fast accelerating or something like that. In that case, would the person confess about being guilty, but then the mind would change.

In fact, in the mind of the person, who came in the front to another vehicle behind the triangle, would create in the mind the model, where another person is guilty anyway, and this kind of things are really dangerous. That inmate would start to tell the stories about the acceleration of another vehicle and cause very bad problems to the opposite side.

This is one thing, the law doesn't mean a thing when the person would feel to be on the right side. And the behavior would be pumped full of energy when that person stands in the bar with the whiskey glass and surrounded by friends, who are supporting that story, without even seen what has been happened. Or they haven't even seen that accident car. But this thing, what might feel really nice could cause problems for the opponent.

The world of social media and algorithms

The world of social media and algorithms

https://controllingsociety.blogspot.com/

We are living in a world with social media, do we want that or not

When I'm writing about Facebook in this text, I mean about social media. The problems with Facebook and data security is that when artificial intelligence is profiling the user for marketing it can also be used to create another kind of profiles. Data solutions that are used today are created for slower networks and in the begin of Facebook and other social media, the bandwidth of the networks have been less than 500 kilobytes, what made almost impossible to share images. The thing is that nobody even thought that someday almost every person has got the device, which allows sending the photographs and even movies to the Internet and what goes on the pocket.

That means this kind of things have not predicted when Facebook and another kind of social media solutions have been made. And another thing is that the algorithms, what are used for sorting data in the social media have been created for slower computers.

Modern supercomputers can sort billions of bytes more per second than some supercomputer in early 21 century. And the thing, what is new is that the data is transferring in the network. We are making more things on the Internet than before. When we are creating all our papers and memos on the net, we are in danger of hacking. But otherwise, we cannot lose those documents, while we are dropping our USB sticks. And we can continue to make those documents in every place, where we want.

The ability to filter data makes NSA so effective

The thing, what makes NSA so effective is that it has the capacity to filter information. That thing means that the computer can choose the data, what would send to operators by using multiple algorithms. One of the algorithms is the simultaneous calls to the telephone, which is owned by the known criminal. That means that the system can collect telephone calls and E-mails, which are interested in law enforcement. One of them is the E-mails between well known criminal and police chief.

Or the lawyer, whose spouses cleaning company would get millions of euros by cleaning offices, what are owned by Mafia. In the modern time, those officials must not listen to every tape and the computer would also use the "speech to text" solution for creating documents of those records. And the thing is that this kind of solutions is working as some kind of karaoke, which means that the judge can follow the tape like in some kind of karaoke happening.

In a couple of years ago, there were massive campaigns against social media. The attitude was that "companies have their own official channels, and the normal workers should concentrate on their work". But there is one thing, what made that campaign ineffective, and that is that it was made by the media, what has own cow in the ditch. The print media has problems with modern electronic media, and there was always one very big problem, and that is "what if the journalist writes racist or provocative writings?".

The second thing was that why people should be silent if they are harassed at the workplace? When we are thinking about social media, we can see things, what might feel very interesting. Almost every person, who is written in the social media are faced things, what is called "troll". Usually, that thing is like "fucking gay" type phrases, what are telling something about the way, how the harassed will think about things. Sometimes we are facing cases, that somebody has been used trolls for closing the social media.

There are millions of people, who have something to hide with their own backgrounds. And one of them is the unemployed person, who lives in Europe, but spends the winters in Hawaii. Those people would not want their friends to know about this kind of things. But there is another kind of cases, what might be very embarrassing, if they are uncovered. One of them is the priest or head of some charity campaign, who has been the head of the harassing in the school period.

Sometimes there have been suicides in that kind of cases and after that, the person has been changed the name and lived in the foreign land that everybody would forget that kind of things. But social media is a powerful tool for politicians, who are marketing their own ideas on how to improve society. But social media needs an active attitude, and that means that if a person would not have own thoughts, that kind of things is also uncovering in social media.

The social media account might be kept by somebody else

There are services, what are selling the social media writings, which means that the account is handled by professionals. And sometimes is claimed that some ice-hockey players have been burned about this kind of things. In those cases, the player has been written texts for social media, while that man has been on ice. I don't know if this true or false, but if this happens to the politician, that thing would be a little bit more embarrassing than in the case of the ice-hockey player.

In the social media have been uncovered things like that the person, who seems very emphatic and have been marketed very nice guy is something else. And there is also uncovered that some very nice looking kind person is total racists, who believe to be over everybody else. This is the problem with psychopaths and narcissist. They are looking like nice guys, but those persons have no social conscience. Those people are normally nicely dressed and polite, but they think always their own benefit.

One good mark to uncover that kind of person is that the psychopath wants to maximize own benefit. This means that this inmate always chooses the stronger side, and those persons are changing their opinion always to the side of the majority. Or actually, psychopaths are choosing the side, what gives that person the best benefit. And if some person offers the ice-hockey tickets for the psychopath, that person can be the side of the minorities, if that allows getting in the circles of the rich people, whose pictures they can show in the Facebook, what is suddenly filled with the selfies, what the psychopath portrays with the well known ice-hockey players . So this is the sermon for this morning.
