Why it's so hard to fight against mass myths?

Mass myths are falsified information that is well-known to the entire society. But mass myths are always falsified or false information that is believed to be true. The common thing about mass myths is that people handle them like absolute truth.  So mass myths are dangerous to society. But the problem is that critical comments against mass myths might cause bad feedback. The bad feedback causes social pressure on people to keep their mouths shut. They don't react to claims and lies. They just see those things. And they don't want to say a word about those things that might be wrong.  Mass myths are driven by arguments "everything was like that in the past". And things like respect for the elder generations make it very hard to speak against those very well-known myths. So people accept the lie as the "official truth" if they don't dare to say something against those things.  Because nobody says anything against mass myths the persons who are delivering

How does the brain decide future brain or future profit? (Life is a game)

We can find the answer to that thing from the game theory. If a person sacrifices something. That sacrifice can bring lots of glory to that person.  The question in the heading is simple. Why some people will climb Mount Everest? And another person sits in an armchair and watches TV at home? Or why some people will go to schools that cause personal financial losses while somebody goes to the pub and works as a cleaner? Why somebody chooses things that are causing pain? Why do some people turn to war heroes serving in voluntary commando teams where training is extremely hard? And another will make only, what superior officers are saying. And why some people are going to evening school? Even if they would have a chance to sit in the pub and talk with their mates?  Those solutions seem very different. But they are involving the same thing. The person makes sacrifices to earn something which seems meaningless. That means the person goes to make voluntarily the solution that seems wrong. Bu

Researchers created quantum entanglement between two quantum systems at a 12,5 km distance.

Researchers created quantum entanglement between two quantum systems at a 12,5 km distance. The ability to exchange information between two memory systems is the base requirement for communication. When two persons are talking to each other they are exchanging information. Or otherwise, we can say that their brains exchange information. And the human brain is one version of the memory system. When we are discussing, we share information. Sharing information requires certain protocols. And one of those protocols is biz talk. Another system that can be human or computer asks permission to use another system's databases.  When an elder person gives pieces of advice the situation is the same as when a server offers a client access to its databases. In both cases, systems offer a path to information, stored in their memories. So when another person offers pieces of advice that means the person offers information to another person.  During that process, we are transferring information th

Chaos is more common in societies than we ever thought.

Chaos and order. They are the presence of the individuals of the groups. When we look at wild animals, and especially herd animals like buffaloes at first we see that all buffaloes are in a form. That seems random. They are grazing and enjoying their life. The fact is that in that herd the direction of the animals is ordered. They are all looking in a certain direction.  And when they see some predator they give a warning sign. Then the herd starts to get the order. When buffalo sees a predator it must decide does it run or fight. If some lone cat is treating the herd the buffalo might want to fight. But a herd of big cats is too much. When those animals are getting a "warning danger" signal. They start to get certain orders.  We are seeing that when something like lions is threatening the herd those animals are starting to run by following a certain order. That order is made to protect those big vegetarian animals. But it's also a sign for other predators and preys that

Genetic engineering and technology are the tools, which give more abilities than ever before.

Genetic engineering and technology are the tools, which give more abilities than ever before. And that means we must have a responsibility to make this work.  There is a small movie clip above this text. Maybe this thing is true sooner than we expect. The background and philosophy of the creation of cyborgs and genetically engineered humans are always the same. That is getting the new abilities. That makes humans better and more effective than ever before. The philosophy behind genetic engineering and cyborgs is taken from Friedrich Nietzsche's over-human or overman model. And the purpose of this research is to make humans more capable.  And that's why some people are interested in things like vampires. The fact is that the tissue of bats and reptilians is healing very fast. And that ability could be possible to transform human cells. That makes it possible to create tissues for accident victims very fast. And maybe those genomes will transfer to the astronauts that are researc

How to send qubit in the long range?

All encryption systems have one weakness,  humans created them. And all humans make mistakes. How to send qubit in the long range?  Can quantum cryptography be the next-generation communication tool? The answer is yes. The information that qubit involves may send in over long distances by using regular radios. The system works like this. Every single qubit's state will transmit to the receiver by using a unique radio frequency.  In that system, the information will send to the receiver by using multiple radio frequencies, And the system cuts the message into pieces. That is sent precisely at the same moment. That means the ELINT men must capture messages from all frequencies that the transmitter uses. The use of multiple frequencies at the same time makes the message so short that part of it would not capture anyway.  The receiving system will reassemble or resort to the information bites. The system can use serial numbers in the bites of the message. Those serial numbers allow the

Somebody claims that even Putin himself doesn't trust his generals.

Image: Reddit There is claiming that there are no intelligent generals in Putin's military. Intelligent people are always threat, and Putin doesn't want threats around him. He wants people who are doing what he says when he says. And that denies the use of own brains. There is a tale in Novaya Gazeta that even Russian leaders don't trust their military. Putin's leadership style follows faithfully the same style. That was in use in the tsar and Soviet armies. The top thing in the Russian command system is political trustworthiness. That means the commanders have no right to say anything against their leaders.  That kind of attitude doesn't favor initiative people. It favors people who are not willing to take responsibility for their actions. And that is the problem with the Russian military.  And that lack of initiative actions and thinking gives a great opportunity to "yes men" whoever think themselves. The key element to earning political trustworthiness

Self-continent lion's problem.

People should not compare themselves with animals. Many people say that the lion is the king of animals. But I must say that the top of the evolution is still the species called Homo Sapiens. But let's go to think about the paradox of the self-continent lion.  Lions are cats that live in herds. The herd dynamics where is one strict ruler makes the lions effective hunters. There are only a few animals that dare to attack lions. The herd behavior is the thing that makes the lions self-continent. And the most self-continent in that herd is the king lion. The ruler of those deadly predators.  But then one day the lions faced the thing called Homo Sapiens. The Homo Sapiens didn't play nice games against the lions. It took the rifle and shot the lion that dare to threaten it and its family. The problem with lions is that they didn't develop themselves.  Or actually, the number of lions increased. They would destroy the entire populations of their prey. And sooner or later they wo

The mystery of the DNA.

"Scientists were able to examine tens of millions of three-dimensional locus groupings with the help of the new technology which they named Pore-C". (ScitechDaily.com/A New Technology Could Help Solve a DNA Mystery? DNA involves the code of life. And the question is why life advanced as it advanced. Why did evolution start to favor the quality in the line that formed the humans? What kind of animal was the first piece of the long journey that caused humans to form a long time after the dinosaurs? When that line separated from other species. Maybe the new research gives answers to that question.  Some philosophers say that DNA is a molecule with its own will. That molecule wants to live, and that's why it's created things like cells for covering it. If we are looking at or thinking about things like living organisms,  we can say that the purpose of life is to carry the DNA molecule and keep it safe. The fact is that all living organisms are carrying DNA molecules, and

Why Russian invasion of Ukraine was something else than it should?

Above: Antonov An-22 heavy transport aircraft plays a vital role in the Russian military. Heavy transporters' primary role is that they can carry paratroopers to capture some airfields. Then the same planes can bring tanks, artillery, and men for creating another front behind the enemy back.  The idea of this tactic is this: Russian forces are taking enemy troops between two main groups.  Then Russians would destroy their enemy by using mortars, tanks, and artillery.  Putin planned that the Russian invasion and Ukraine occupation would be a good demonstration of the skills of the modern Russian military. The invasion was planned as a short-term military action against Ukraine. And then something went wrong.  The key element in the Russian military tactics is the cooperation between tank corpses and VDV (Airborne Assault troops). The idea is that when the Russian main force attacks from the front the paratroopers attack to back of the troops and conquer some airfields. Then cargo pl

The Institute of Study of War (ISW) tells that Russia wastes its power in meaningless battles.

Su-25 "Frogfoot" Why Russians are wasting their power? The fact is that two things can explain why Russians are fighting in meaningless areas, wasting their power and causing casualties. The first thing is that the Russian military is following the original battle plan without caring about casualties. And Russians might think that some area is important to them. But Ukrainians or Western observers think that the areas have no meaning in the war.  There is the possibility that the Russian military makes its casualties on purpose. The Russian government promised over 8000 euros price for recruiting to the war. And if those soldiers die, they must not pay that money. But another reason why Russian waste its power in meaningless areas like small towns can be in defense tactics of the Ukrainian army. There is a possibility that the Ukrainian army makes "unnecessary-looking" hard resistance in the small towns and countryside. That kind of tactic when the defender wants to

Is data handling the purpose of existence?

    The eagle could be very dangerous to cavemen, who had no weapons to resist the bird. In the time of cavemen, eagles could take their children. The technical advancement of the human race turns eagles less dangerous.  But it's still a respectable bird that can make serious injuries to its victims. Technical advancings are not turning things like lions harmless. our houses and all equipment are giving protection against those predators. But sometimes they still kill humans.  The race between a predator and its prey requires advancing. Or otherways saying, ability to create new skills and tactics. And top of that game is the species name Homo Sapiens. And we are that species.  Our brains are the ultimate tool, that allows us to create new tricks to hunt prey and protect ourselves. Human brains are made to solve problems and develop new solutions. Without our tools and weapons, we would be in trouble.  But our brain's flexibility allows us to create tools and survive in a rough

There are two remarkable things in the Ukrainian war. The war crimes and destructive firepower.

The major question is why Russia doesn't use harder language against the western weapon aid for Ukraine? The fact is that this military aid is not enough for driving Russians away from East Ukraine. But those weapon systems causes losses for Russian troops. Maybe one purpose of that operation is simply to kill some fighters who know something that Putin doesn't want people to know.  Things like the murders of Anna Politkovskaya and some oligarchs might be made by some people, which fighting in Ukraine today. Maybe those people have some kind of evidence about things that can harm even Putin himself. Or they might know something about Putin's financing systems especially before he became president.  And the comfortable solution would be for the Ukrainian army kills those people, who made dirty work for Vladimir Putin. Could the man who poisoned Boris Yeltsin be on the blacklist or kill list of Vladimir Putin?  Things like Wagner Group are meant as a tool in the hands of Puti

What kind of companies gets the benefit of the rise in the price of oil globally?

When people are talking about the rise of the price of oil. They are talking about the rise in the price of fuel. That means the rise of the price of oil rises with the price of traveling. The companies that get benefit from that situation are the companies that are selling especially services that can replace physical traveling.  So things like data security companies might get lots of benefits from the rise of the price of oil which is the primary component in fuel that is used in cars and other vehicles. If people would get orders to use remote meetings as the primary meeting type.  That means the company must secure its communication. The thing is that the rise of the oil price will make the use of own car expensive if it burns fossil fuel. So electric trains and electric cars are getting benefit from the situation that the price of oil is high.  The rise of oil's price affects especially the price of the fuel. And if the price of natural gas that is commonly used in power plan

The embarrassing things and the Tor network are problematic to handle.

Many things, including Tor-network, are not purely good or bad. The Tor network offers the platform for telling things, prohibited in many countries. And that thing makes this network difficult to handle. When people are making things like legislation for the internet. They are balancing privacy and individual rights and control. The thing is that if something is prohibited. That just slips into the Tor network.  The Tor network is the place that might feel safe. But there is the possibility that organizations like NSA or some other intelligence agencies are made trap pages or "honey pots" in that network. Those homepages include a so-called tracking cookie, that is sent to the receiving computer and that cookie tells the location and IP address of the computer by sending the data over the Tor connection.  The same network that offers privacy is offering a platform for child abusers and drug dealers. And the fact is that the things like network pornography are embarrassing th

What is the difference between drones and missiles?

  Russian Iskander missile (Wikipedia) Missiles are easier to use in war crimes. The missiles need only two coordinates the launching point. And the point where the target is. The missile crew will give the target coordinates to the missile. And then the GPS/GLONASS system tells the missile its location and the distance to the target. When the target is in range, the system simply tells, that it's time to shoot.  The problem with that kinds of missiles is. They need to update their target's position all the time if the missile wants to hit the moving targets. The CEP (Circular Error Probability) depends on the accuracy of the positioning system. Things like radar and image (or imaging infrared) homing missiles require the position of the target and then the GPS or inertial navigation system will drive the missile to the point, where its trajectory starts to turn to the ground.  Then the seeker must see the target. If the seeker doesn't see the target the AI must decide does

When the empire falls, there is a short-period successor.

History is repeating itself. Always when empires are fallen. There is a successor that wants to rebuild the empire. Those successors are always short-period empires. The best known of those successors of the fallen empire is Justinian I. That man was the Byzantine emperor. Who wanted to unite Rome. That dream died with that man. And western Rome fell into anarchy.  I can almost ask one question: Did Isaac Asimov predict the destruction of the Soviet Union and even Russia? Have you read the novel series "The Foundation"?  In that fictional novel, Asimov describes the destruction of the Galactic Empire and then after the decline, the empire will get its last death spasm. The last emperor wants to restore the empire, and equip the galactic fleet, which seemed very nice.  The fleet treated the independent states around the capital. And then those states that ripped themselves away from the empire swore alliance because they were afraid of the empire. But the fleet was unable to o

The new digital drugs are here.

Some things that are connected to the term binaural beat are a hoax. A binaural beat is an auditory illusion. It is perceived when two different pure-tone sine waves are presented to a listener, one tone to each ear. (Wikipedia, Binaural beat).  There are audio files that stimulate the brain areas that are controlling good feel.  Those things are called digital drugs and they can be harmful to people. The idea of those audio waves is that they are causing a binaural beat that is causing a similar effect to psychedelic drugs.  The binaural beat is one of the most interesting things in the world of information warfare. Because it means that the sound or acoustic rhythm can use as a drug. In some scenarios, the binaural beat can use with propaganda. Or the propaganda pictures can equip with acoustic systems that are creating a good feel near those images. That thing boosts the propaganda because it affects people for a long time.  The idea of that kind of system is that when the person lo

Why do Russians have problems destroying Turkish-built drones?

Image) Baykar Bayraktar TB2 (Wikipedia/Baykar Bayraktar TB2) The Russian-Ukrainian war predicted that Russia will win Ukraine in 96 hours. The reality might be different. The war carries on, and many other predictions are not matched with reality. This war has been a pain and nightmare for Russians.  The drones are invisible and very frightening killers. That can use alone or with manned aircraft. The manned aircraft can drop drones to the operational areas. And then those drones can mark targets. Or they can attack against the targets. Long-range drones like Loyal wingmen can be equipped with warheads and they can hit against missiles. And especially the long-range anti-aircraft and tactical battlefield missile launchers.  Many things are problematic in the Ukrainian war. The predictions are not matched with reality. But one of the questions is simple. Why Ukrainian drones are not as easy to destroy as they predicted? Those Baykar Bayraktar TB2 drones are predicted to be easy targets.

Are we living in a simulation?

    The origin of the "simulated reality hypothesis" is in "Plato's cave" When we think about physical simulations we forget one thing. If the person is living the entire life in that kind of simulation that person believes that the simulation is reality. The idea of this type of simulation is taken from Plato's cave. If some people are living their entire life in the cave. They think that the cave is an entire world. Those people who live in their cave think. The bizarre shadows that they see on the wall are real creatures. So why those cave people would live in their caves? And don't come out to see are those creatures real?  The cave offers a safe and protective place. Of course, there can come the army of men. And they will destroy that place easily. But those cave people think that the cave is in the middle of the world. There is nothing that can harm them if they stare at the wall.  They forget that the armies still exist even if they stare at the
