How Are We Not The Most Magnificent Artificial Inventions Already?

Innovative strive for perfection, or imperfect striving for innovation?

The endless search for improvement,

Evolution, Innovation, technologies, psychology, physiology, autonomy,…

But what separates you from the artificial pack?

What is human-like?

AI “decides” with “human-like” perception and cognition, without social and emotional behavior, which is essential for humans.

“Your subconscious mind is timeless.”

Let this sink in for just a minute.

Your subconscious mind doesn’t age…

Gives you a different perspective of who you are, doesn’t it?

Going from this principle, suddenly you become limitless, ageless, timeless… Tell me that’s not an artificial characteristic, and I’ll let you off the hook straight away. If “yes,” Follow me through this post to discover how “else” we are the most magnificent inventions.

Knowing that AI mimics human behaviors such as “problem-solving” and “learning” can be very impressive. Still, AI cannot interpret the facts Without reasonable decisions because of the absence of human thinking. Sometimes, it could be just a result of a sequence of actions. A routed code AI follows without any other creative components attached.

We, as humans, program computers and robotic appliances. Think about that.

You can program yourself, and you can be programmed. You can outlive the life expectations of your natural constructed components. We learn in the most unexplainable ways to make new neural connections; as humans, we are incredibly good at adapting to our environment and the architecture of our future surroundings.

How? Well, your brain has certain principles, memories, lessons, and boundaries installed. Not only that, but numerous small programs are running unconsciously constantly.

“Your entire life runs on the software in your head, why wouldn’t you obsess over-optimizing it? …And yet, not only do most of us not obsess over their own software — most don’t even understand their own software, how it works, or why it works that way.”

We are wirelessly influenced by light & electricity

Or should we call this frequencial magnetism?

We are highly influenced by light. Even at night, the sun has a great way of influencing organisms on Earth. The sun uses the moon to reflect its light. Even electrons were measured, penetrating through the earth’s core.

The moon has the power to balance out the weather over the world and increase the tidal height. There’s also some evidence that a full moon can lead to less deep sleep and a delay in entering REM sleep. (Rebecca Joy Stanborough, 2020)

It’s difficult to tell how a bright full moon has affected you, one thing is for sure it has a serious effect on salty water, and guess what you are made from? Exactly, we are composed of at least 70% of water; Water makes up 99% of all molecules in your body! Approximately 1% of your entire body exits salt. And salt strengthens water’s ability to conduct electricity. Furthermore, electricity means vibrations, and liquid water is possibly the most influential of all.

But there is a lot more going on on a quantum level

We are wirelessly interconnected with each other. We can feel, sense, hear and create optical images of those surrounding us. As humans, we can even teleport thoughts and emotions to one another. It’s a form of wireless data transfer.

Telepathy

This works best with people who you have a strong connection with. People with who you live or work regularly. A lot of communication and social interaction increases your synchronization rate among each individual.

After a while, both of your brains are so similarly wired together that you can think about what the other person will say or predict. (At least your think it’s a prediction, but most probably, it’s the frequency you send out)

If you want a clear example of this “entanglement”, you’ll need to ask women who work together in the same work schedule. In many cases, their menstrual cycles will be synchronized with each other.

I don’t know if that is what Albert meant with spooky action at a distance? Quantum entanglement: The ability of separated objects to share a condition or state.

However, over the past few decades, physicists have demonstrated the reality of spooky action over ever-greater distances, even from Earth to a satellite in space.

“Your brain is electrically charged.”

Hans Berger recorded the first human electroencephalograms (EEGs) in 1924. Berger turned to investigate the electrical activity of the brain. He characterized the wave patterns, including α and β waves, and coined the term “electroencephalogram.”

Programming actually refers to patterns or sequences of coded instructions. All of it renders within your mind. Those programs and strategies help you to achieve specific and desired outcomes. Certain baselines could be:

• What to do next?
• What if?
• If not?
• Else what?

Certain questions guide you toward other pathways which require new questions and other solutions. All of this though rendering, exposes the actions you take in the physical world.

We improve ourselves by exposure to difficulties, so our minds learn to deal with them effectively. We optimize our software by identifying and reprogramming the emotional algorithms likely to be triggered by the events in our lives.

We are equipped with the most advanced sensors; you often find yourself using your mind’s language to change internal sensory-based representations to achieve specific and desired outcomes.

Your absorption mechanism gathers all of the data by means of advanced sensors except:

• Sunlight by your vision
• Taste gustatory
• Smell using your olfactory system
• Touch Kinesthetic
• Hearing using an auditory system

This makes you represent the world to yourself. It basically filters out the real raw reality of everything surrounding us.

Non-verbal systems are the auxiliary systems that enable us to add detailed work to our virtual reality. One could say it is both the creation and existence of your personal library. A library that doesn’t just exist out of words on pages, but rather out of items, words, concepts, creatures, persons, …

The tools which help and create them are:

• The sounds that you hear
• Those magnificent feelings which pair with everything
• The pictures of what you see through your organic lens
• Smell and tastes all different things
• Your own conscious words

Humans have functioning “online” and “offline” modes.

Humans have two operating systems; one of them is always “on.”

Your conscious mind, your online interaction system. When you restore or recover, this becomes offline.

The other is your hybrid system, or better yet, your subconscious mind. The Latter one is always working day and night. It’s always ON.

For instance, Hypnose can re-program or update the program running in your subconscious mind. Still, we are in search of reinventing ourselves.

A magnetized piece of steel will lift about twelve times its own weight, and if you demagnetize this same piece of steel, it will not even lift a feather.

Similarly, there are two types of men. There is the magnetized man who is full of confidence and faith. He knows that he is born to win and to succeed. Then, there is the type of man who is demagnetized. He is full of fears and doubts.

When opportunities present themselves, he says:

“I might fail; I might lose my money; people will laugh at me.”

This type of man will not get very far in life because if he is afraid to go forward, he will simply stay where he is because he is programmed that way. I believe Carol Dweck referred to this as a fixed mindset. A mindset that doesn’t get updated.

Organic Mechanics

Already for a long time, we are hybrids. When humans encounter physical damage, components often require to be replaced.

Bone structure combined with other components.

In 1893 the first human shoulder replacement was allegedly performed by the french surgeon Jules Emile Pean. The patient was a 37-year-old man who suffered from bony tuberculosis. The prosthesis was made in two parts; The shaft was made of platinum, and the head was made of hardened rubber. The initial results were encouraging, but unfortunately, due to infection, Dr. Pean had to remove the prosthesis two years later. (Source: medical doctors)

Nowadays, titanium is the preferred material to apply in human surgery.

The Comparable Firewall

In a way, this relates again back to solar light,

A computer needs to protect itself from the world of intruders. Your body does the same constantly. In both cases, the invaders are hard to detect, but many different kinds of dangers are still out there.

Your body gets protected by your immune system; this involves a biological interplay of numerous elements. All of it will keep you up and running in the optimal state possible. How do you optimize this? By many rules which you can follow to build resilience naturally. Vit D, Sleep, optimal nutrition, sufficient movement, cold exposure, or birth control. They are only a few elements to work with. See it as certain code lines you need to implement to get your biological program protected.

“UV-sunlight exposure gets absorbed in the fat cells beneath your skin. It gets converted into steroid hormones, Hormones which, especially in men, are crucial to protect them from lung diseases.”

Computers have the ability to get those codes pre-set and updated faster, although this often requires assistance. Your body, on the other hand, is a sublime bio-adaptation machine!

Still, both are full of bugs, and neither your body or any kind of computer is entirely bulletproof.

“Even a firewall isn’t entirely bulletproof.”

The Few Things To Stay Alive And kicking

Recharging happens by means of:

• Sleep
• Light
• Social interaction

Functioning happens by:

• Electric currents
• Nutrition
• Oxygen

The most advanced organic solar-energy system.

Plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food. During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the sun’s energy to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Plants use glucose for energy and make other substances like cellulose and starch. Animals have to hunt or gather food to get the energy they need, but plants can make their food using light energy from the sun. …

Like plants, you also absorb most of your energy requirements utilizing solar light penetrating your skin. This powers up your body to operate well.

Your skin. Skin is the largest organ of your entire body. It absorbs light, regulates heat, it breathes.

Daylight has been indicated as the most important factor in regulating the human circadian rhythm. Having an unbalanced rhythm affects you in strange ways. Often we are so busy that it gets neglected, or you are even unaware of its effects.

Health and light go hand in hand; sometimes, I think we’re working our way into a paradox. Industries that are trying to develop a way to achieve innovative state-of-the-art machines. While we are already electrically charged, functioning on light, oxygen, water, and nutrition. All these elements are free and make us possibly the most advanced organisms out there.

“Recharging yourself through sunlight, meditation, Social interaction, exposure to the elements of nature, rest, or sleep.”

Photovoltaic panels have only now recently reached exponential growth. They are set to overgrow most other power sources and will become even cheaper than wind power. Besides that, the sun is more reliable than the wind anyway. They will become integrated into smaller devices because of their efficiency and affordability. Most technology will or already imitates what your physiology is capable of. Still, one might need to assist that technology to benefit from its capability.

Professor Paul Dastoor has been working on technology to print produced solar panels that can generate electricity at low light levels. These can be printed with an ordinary printer, they are not as efficient as silicon-based solar panels, and their durability is also less.

Still, costs are low, and they could be very effective in generating electricity from moonlight.

When more of these and other panels are being integrated into materials, devices, and robots, we transform everything step-by-step into skin-like absorbing and transmitting energy generators.

But that’s merely to turn the “On” switch.

Your learning engine

AI can help improve and automate decision-making. Still, it’s emotionless and doesn’t know how to socially interact or make that kind of connection spontaneously.

Experience alike learning

We test to succeed and to fail. It’s basically irrelevant whether you succeed the first time after a trial or not. The only reward to reap is the fact when you succeed the first time, often you’ve won time. Succeeding at something after the first attempt fast forwards time and increases confidence for your next task.

Let’s take the example of a story I recently read about the Belgium watchmaker Bernard van Ormelingen.

Van Ormelingen is a very young Guillocheur who makes unique watches. The art of watchmaking isn’t preserved for anyone, but the method might!

At the age of eleven, Van ormelingen started to dismount pocket watches; he was very curious about how the tiny mechanism worked. After dissecting the watches, he resembled them; often, he found them unable to function after the overhaul.

This was a very important process in learning how exactly they were functioning. Fortunately, in this modern age, unlike his guillocheur ancestors, Van Ormelingen could call the assistance of youtube vids about the how and the what to help him acquire deeper insight. Combining this trial and error. With his education of Horlogerie.

At the age of twenty-three, he became by far the youngest guillocheur of the modern age, who still practices the art with the authentic and rare early 20st-century machinery.

All this being said, succeeding immediately isn’t always the best thing in the long run. When you succeed too soon, you still have a certain margin where you have more chance to fail in a future task. Simply because of the fact that you didn’t learn from not failing.

Failing at something is a great way to explore other possibilities, and it wires your neural network in a different, more complex way. It makes you more resilient against future mistakes.

Test and trial are something that resonates with a human, and with AI or a robot. Failure and learning from it is another ball game. Learning from failures is something that, until today, still separates us human beings from the pack of not being humanoids.

Or not?

These days newer types of robots have certain systems set up to learn by themselves as well, don’t get me wrong, but still, the speed at which we are adapting is something incomparable.

The latest technology requires “off” time to recharge. Your restorative function is your sleep. When you consider it, most technology gets only its power recharged. As humans, we recharge power, and simultaneously, we update thoughts, store memories, and compensate for emotions. Emotions are things that technology doesn’t yet comprehend.

Robots or sophisticated technology aren’t self-aware. However, they’ve created a sense that’s nearby already.

In general society, both “on” and “offline,” the brain often gets referred to as a computer, logically since they show similarities because of its massive storage capabilities and processing functions. It was only when starting to pay more attention to the brain, like a muscle, that these effects became a muscle that these effects become more obvious. Your brain has hybrid functions.

Presumably, there will be a time that technology will take heft into its’ own hands and get the overhand, design something even more sophisticated, something unbugged, something…
