\n\nIn past issues, we\u2019ve documented increasingly concerned billionaires warning of dangerous economic times. Many have favored gold as an alternative allocation in a world where $13 trillion-worth of debt is negative yielding, interest rates are artificially suppressed and we\u2019re on the brink of major wars.\n\nThe newest addition to this gold-loving billionaire's club, is none other than hedge-fund manager Paul Singer. At CNBC\u2019s Delivering Alpha Investors Conference this week, the founder of the $27-billion Elliott Management Fund, the 17th largest hedge fund in the world, mentioned that at current prices gold is \u201cundervalued\u201d and \u201cunderrepresented in many portfolios as the only ... store of value that has stood the test of time.\u201d\n\nSinger, along with numerous other hedge-fund managers, has been increasingly outspoken in his criticism of the Federal Reserve and other central banks for creating dangers in the market unlike any in what he terms the \u201c5,000 year-ish\u201d history of finance. Singer noted that \u201cit's a very dangerous time in the global economy and global financial markets.\"\n\nThis quote is frighteningly similar to the response given by Donald Trump on Fox Business not long ago when he was asked if he had money in the market. He answered, \u201cI did, but I got out,\u201d and then went on to say that he expected \u201cvery scary scenarios\u201d for investors.\n\nSinger also stated that he thinks owning medium- to long-term first world debt is a \u201creally bad idea\u201d... and then proceeded to tell listeners to sell their 30-year bonds.\n\nEarlier in the conference, prior to Singer, Ray Dalio who is the manager of the largest hedge fund in the world, Bridgewater Capital, was also vocal about the diminishing returns provided by government debt held by central banks. \u201cThere\u2019s only so much you can squeeze out of the debt cycle,\" he said. He went on to say that central banks are at a point now where their ability to stimulate is limited.\n\nSeated next to Dalio was Former Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner who voiced concern about limited \u201ctools in the keynesian arsenal,\u201d that probably wouldn\u2019t be enough to offset the next recession.\n\nGeithner obviously believes that a recession is on the way. Dalio and Singer are trying to convey the same message. A massive crunch is looming.\n\nWe agree with them, although we believe Geithner was sugarcoating what\u2019s to come.\n\nAfter all, we are on the precipice of a crash of biblical proportions according to the former chief economist of the Bank for International Settlements, William White.\n\nWe have mentioned his quote numerous time here at TDV but feel it\u2019s important to reiterate because of its magnitude: \u201cThe only question is whether we are able to look reality in the eye and face what is coming in an orderly fashion, or whether it will be disorderly. Debt jubilees have been going on for 5,000 years, as far back as the Sumerians.\u201d\n\nAs the Fed considers its second rate hike in 10 years, Singer condemned policy-makers for acting with \u201camazing arrogance\u201d when he and others had warned of a mortgage crisis prior to 2008.\n\nWhat he and those who agreed with his stance don\u2019t know, or at least won\u2019t state publicly, is that these shoddy central bank policies are detrimental by design. In other words, their sole purpose is to destabilize the world economy.\n\nThis deliberate market sabotage is necessary for the transference of power from the more developed nations to less developed ones. Ultimately, the idea is to eliminate smaller regional and national central banks. Once things get bad enough, these smaller banks will be blamed for provoking a given crisis. And, secondarily, the end goal is to blow up the entire system in order to bring in the one world government and central bank.\n\nThe elites have used the same tactics time and time again throughout history. First, they create the problem, then there is a reaction, and then finally they come swooping in to \u201cvaliantly save\u201d the day. It's happened numerous times before.\n
\nAnd it will soon happen again.\n\nOf course, the globalists have demonstrated that every intervention only makes situations worse.\n\nWe reported on the blatant thievery going on at Wells Fargo in our last article and noted how the elites were probably laughing hysterically at what they\u2019re able to get away with. They were even able to convince many younger American voters that \u201cdemocratic socialism\u201d would be their savior, as seen by the significant, youthful support for Bernie Slanders. Debt and currency crises have already started to materialize, as we\u2019ve seen in the socialist utopia that is Venezuela. If this is any indication of what\u2019s to come, the future is looking awfully gloomy.\n\nAs Singer and others including Dalio have mentioned before, the most tried and true measure of wealth and value is gold.\n\nAt TDV we provide unique Austrian-economics based analysis from the anarcho-capitalist pespective of the state of the world\u2019s economy, as well as suggestions on how to protect your assets in these tempestuous and unprecedented times.\n\nJacob Rothschild, a member of the family partly responsible for the creation of all this chaos, even said himself that we are in \u201cuncharted waters\u201d and that it\u2019s \u201cimpossible to predict the unintended consequences of very low interest rates.\u201d\n\nWe have a pretty good idea of what the consequences will be and we\u2019re taking action to protect ourselves and even profit from them. Rothschild seems to know the consequences, as well, as he has been buying up gold and selling the stock market and the US dollar.\n\nYou can survive and profit from the orchestrated collapse too. Subscribe to TDV\u2019s newsletter here to receive constantly updated information on how to protect your family and friends.\n\nIn the end, it is getting truly bizarre just how many billionaires, central bankers and others of note are all warning of the coming collapse. We\u2019d almost begun to worry that they were going to pull a switch-a-roo on us, but if you asked the great majority of investors and financial analysts, they\u2019ll tell you that they see nothing but smooth sailing ahead.\n\nSo, while many are warning, many are hearing, but not listening. The bible said something about that, I believe.\n
This will be special update from Project Curie. One month ago, Project Curie began with humble beginnings. It has been an exhilarating experience for the team and we are delighted to share our progress with the Steemit community. To know more about Project Curie, do check out our initial announcement.
\n
Project Curie wishes to thank @pharesim, @val, @silversteem and @clayop along with @nextgencrypto and @berniesanders for helping us reward more deserving posts
\n
When a group of Steemit writers got together to form Project Curie, we thought that if we pooled our own votes on some posts, we could help reward some emerging and undiscovered authors who were posting great original material.
\n
$5 later, it was clear our combined votes wouldn\u2019t make a huge difference.
\n
Fortunately, we were able to form a partnership with @nextgencrypto who was generous enough to donate some voting power to help reward deserving posters who were not yet established. @berniesanders then joined to help. With their support, Project Curie became a reality.
\n
Today, we announce that @val, @pharesim, @silversteem and @clayop also have donated additional voting power to help Project Curie reach a greater number of original content posts from undiscovered and deserving authors. Please join us in thanking them. And please do not send your posts directly to any of these individuals; Project Curie is curating the posts and you are welcome to submit any good ones you find to the #curie channel on Steemit.chat.

Proyecto Cervantes
\n
Project Curie is excited to announce a new branch of curation created to support Spanish authors on Steemit. The branch is called \u201cProyecto Cervantes\u201d and it\u2019s main curators are @gargon and @pgarcgo. The goal is to find and reward Spanish or bilingual (Spanish and English) posts on Steemit in order to foster a more diverse community. @gargon and @pgarcgo will be creating a compilation post for every 10 posts that they curate in order to provide transparency as to which posts are being rewarded. The hope is also to provide the original authors more exposure. You can find their first compilation posts here and here. Two members of Project Curie are Spanish speakers ( @anwenbaumeister and @the-alien), and they provide a second line of curation and review for these posts. So, if you are a Spanish speaker, we encourage you to begin writing bilingual posts in order to create a bridge between the two languages and communities!

\n
The most used tag was \"life\", but that pretty much includes everything!
\n
\n
The most popular topics were \"art\" (549) and \"photography\" (418). \"Story\" and \"writing\" were pretty close, tagged on around 370 posts each, though we suspect these two tags are often repeated. \"Travel\" and \"science\" also make an appearance. Looking forward, we intend to focus more on original science and technology related posts, and other unique / niche topics.

We are working to increase our reach and rewards for authors, courtesy of extended whale support. We are also setting up @curie as a universal voter for all posts we curate. This way, you can choose to mirror our votes to support the authors. Look out for an announcement regarding this in our Daily Curation List posts. From next week, every Monday we'll have a Weekly Roundup with statistics, similar to this post.
\n
We are always open to feedback, and would love to know how you feel we could do better in Month #2!
The museum I work at is unique because we showcase animals that are native to Virginia -- meaning that these are animals people will find close to home, rather than across the ocean in some distant country. This makes my job more crucial in that I am responsible for educating people about the reptiles and amphibians that they will find in their own backyards. And obviously, there\u2019s one group of reptiles that gives people more pause than almost any other animal . . . .
I do public programs featuring snakes quite frequently. I believe people should know how to identify local venomous/non-venomous snakes, their role in the environment and how to deal with them when they are in close proximity to our homes. Usually, I get eager audiences asking great questions. But, every now and then, I get some idiot who tells me, \u201cI saw that same snake in my backyard! I chopped off its head with a shovel!\u201d
\n
Are they an idiot for killing the snake? Not necessarily . . . I don\u2019t know the situation behind the encounter. But, only an idiot would walk into a wildlife facility, approach a zoo keeper and proudly declare that they kill the very same animals that the keeper is charged with the care for. Would you walk into an animal shelter and tell someone working there that you enjoy stomping on puppies? To us, there\u2019s not much difference\u2026
The best we can do in these situations is to try to educate people. This can be difficult because so many people are set in their ways -- plus we have to combat an instinctive fear and prejudice against snakes. So, I\u2019m going to briefly lay it all out for you and tell you \"Why you shouldn\u2019t kill that snake in your yard.\"
1. It\u2019s ILLEGAL in most states to kill a wild snake, unless that snake presents an IMMEDIATE threat. And no, a snake crawling through your yard does not represent a good enough excuse to use force. We\u2019re talking about a situation where a venomous snake is about to strike and you have no escape route but to fight your way out. And guess what, that really doesn\u2019t ever happen (barring instances where someone purposefully provokes an animal). Wildlife and law enforcement agencies are cracking down on people killing snakes, so it\u2019s better to keep yourself out of trouble.
2. You are putting yourself in harm\u2019s way. The vast majority of snake bites occur when people attempt to capture or kill snakes. If left alone, the snake CANNOT hurt you. Call wildlife services or trained professionals to remove the animal.
3. It\u2019s an incredibly beneficial animal, and you\u2019d be foolish to kill it. Small snakes eat a huge variety of pest insects that destroy gardens, while large snakes typically feed on rats and other rodents that infest our homes. If you see a large snake hanging around, you have a rodent problem; snakes will not hang around if there is no food source. To keep snakes from being attracted to your property, do your best to remove any shelter or food sources that would attract rodents. Some snakes even eat other snakes, and species like the harmless king snake will even feed on venomous species!
4. Another snake might show up. Snakes will not typically inhabit the same area in order to avoid competition. If you kill that harmless rat snake, but you still have a food source nearby, another snake may move in to make use of that source. The new snake may be another harmless species or something a bit less desirable. So why not let that harmless snake take care of the infestation for you?
Having a snake around can be hugely beneficial to you. It is a free, environmentally-safe form of pest control. Snakes, including venomous species, are non-aggressive animals (unless you provoke them) that will actively do their best to AVOID people. A resident snake will often go unnoticed by homeowners, and most encounters are fleeting glimpses of the snake making a hasty escape. Remember that snakes have their own unique role in the environment, and regardless of our own fears and feelings towards them, they are a necessary part of life.
\n\n__________________________________\n\n**Chapter ONE**\n\nIt seemed as nothing was different in yet another cold and slightly windy London evening. The smog from the river was rising up as usual and the chilly wind would bring the smell up to the embankment, where Charles was taking a rest, sitting down on his favorite bench. \n\nFrom here he could see the might of the power station from across the river and something was special in the way those chimneys threw out the smoke onto the city. \n\nHe just finished his walk along his usual route, walking amongst the cemetery outside the chapel. It always amused him; that mix of emotion and sorrow amongst the busy city people, especially during the busy afternoon hours.\n\nThat rusty smell kept mixing with up with the light freshness of the leaves from the tree nearby Charles\u2019s bench. As he threw a brief glimpse onto the clock on the parliament building he noticed that the small arrow was on 45 minutes\u2026 \n\nSuddenly he heard a murmur of horses; he turned his head before he could finish realizing what time it was. He saw that just a few yards up the road two horse carriages didn\u2019t manage to share the drive way. \n\n
\n\nOne of the coachmen was shouting something and angrily waving his hands. Charles was able to see from here that the coachmen\u2019s grey clothing was partially covered in dirt, probably from the splash of the puddles from underneath the wheels. \n\nThe coachmen kept shouting something, Charles was unable to see the second carriage from where he was sitting, but was able to see some passersby, that starting to gather around the incident.\n\nIt was obvious that, just like him, those people had nothing better to do on this late afternoon then to watch in amusement the accident in the middle of the avenue.\n\nJust as Charles was starting to lose interest in the whole situation, the door of the cab that Charles could see, opened and a man dressed in a black suit and holding a pipe stepped out. He calmly put his hand in the upper inner pocket of the suit and pulled out some coins. The man made two steps up to driver and handed him the coins. At this moment the driver stopped shouting for a moment and it was clear from the look on his face that he was confused. \n\nThe cab driver counted the coins and said something to the man in the suit, the passenger didn\u2019t answer. He turned around and started to walk in the direction of the chapel. The cab driver clearly wasn\u2019t happy. He started to shout once again, but this time at the passenger. While the cab driver turned his attention to the passenger, Charles noticed how the second carriage that was involved in the accident managed to move a few yards back.\n\nIt was a much smaller carriage, and the driver was clearly seeable to Charles now. He seemed somewhat happy that he was not in the middle of the light anymore; he hurryingly turned the carriage and the horse around and started to move also in the direction of the chapel. \n\nAt this moment the driver of the first carriage started to lose interest in shouting and decided to clean himself up. As he started to calm down, the bemused passersby begun to walk back to where they were heading and Charles also turned his head back towards the power station.\n\nCharles was so busy watching the situation unfold that he didn\u2019t noticed that the passenger of the first carriage crossed the road and was now heading not towards the chapel anymore, but exactly in the other direction, towards the grey bench that Charles was sitting on.\n\nAt first Charles didn\u2019t pay any attention to just another man who was walking by. But then he noticed that calm walk of his and it hit him that this was the same passenger from the carriage.\n\n\u201cExcuse me sir?\u201d said Charles as the man closed up to the bench. \u201cYou are the gentleman from the carriage, aren\u2019t you?\u201d \u201cI saw you a minute ago, what happened?\u201d\n\nThe man stopped to walk and shared a look with Charles; he calmly sat down beside him and carried on smoking his pipe, as he was not hearing the questions Charles asked him. \n\n\u201cI do apologies for the intervention, but you must not be local, I can tell by your calmness, all the folks round here are always in a hurry\u201d Charles carried on talking as if not noticing that the man was ignoring him. \n\nAll of a sudden the weather begun to change, wind started to blow stronger and the few leaves that the tree was holding blew in the direction of the bench. The smell from the river rose up and as if that wasn\u2019t enough Charles felt like a small rain drop hit his head. He could clearly see the green water from where he was sitting through the decorations holes of the embankments fence. It was clear that it will start to rain soon by the appearing circles on the top of the river.\n\nAfter a few minutes of quietly seating by his new neighbor Charles caught himself looking at the clock on the tower, once again he saw the small arrow on 45 minutes\u2026\n\n\u201cAnd what do we pay the government for?\u201d \u201cIt would feel though they are taking our money and spend it on their fancy hats and suits, don\u2019t you find?\u201d Said Charles.\n\nAt this point the man took out the pipe into his left hand and begun to cough. After he finished coughing Charles heard him speak, at this point Charles understood that for some reason he would remember this moment for a long time to come. \n\n\u201cIt is likely to assume that they deserve to spend the money they earn\u201d Said the man, his voice was quite low and he had a certain accent Charles could quite catch.\n\n\u201cI don\u2019t think that money is of importance nowadays\u201d Said the man.\n\nCharles looked at the man with a smile - \u201cWhat is of importance? One might assume that philosophically speaking, importance can be found in nothing but what is good to us\u201d.\n\n\u201cNo body knows what can be important to others if we carry on like this, then\u2026\u201d Charles didn\u2019t finish his sentence as the man turned away from him and looked the other way. He then turned his head back and Charles noticed his eyes. His eyes were nothing like what Charles had seen before, they looked as though they were glass like and the as if they were blank, there was nothing behind them.\n\n\u201cWhat is important is that I am here now and that it is happening today. It is important to live your life because, just like your life Charles, it has an end\u201d, the man looked somewhat happy when he said that and Charles jumped back on the bench a little, he felt a small shiver run down his spine.\n\n\u201cWhat? How do you know my name sir? Have you been following me?\u201d questions were racing through Charles\u2019s mind. \n\n\u201cAs I said, this is now of importance. You life can find its end today when you get back to your gallery in your cold basement on Kinnerton street or you might listen to me and\u2026\u201d Charles didn\u2019t let the man finish his sentence. He jumped up from the bench; his cane flew within millimeters of the stranger leg as he jumped.\n\n\u201cHow dare you sir? Who gives you the right\u2026\u201d Charles raised his voice, he never allowed himself to raise his voice at a stranger beforehand.\n\n\u201cI think this conversation is over!\u201d exclaimed Charles. \u201cThat would be your choice\u201d replied the man, \u201cDo you think the time is right?\u201d \n\nCharles had already turned away in anger and was about to make his first step away. Something in the words of the man about the time made him think for a second, thoughts raced through his mind. The number 45 and the small arrow of the parliament clock were stuck in his head. \n\n\u201cI don\u2019t understand said Charles\u2026\u201d he turned his head back towards the clock; the arrow was still on 45 minutes. \u201cHow is that possible?\u201d Charles turned his head to the man, but there was no one on the bench. \n\nCharles begun to search the street rapidly with his eyes, it didn\u2019t even occur to him that it was heavily raining until that moment. \n\n
\n\n## Introduction\n[Project Curie](https://steemit.com/steemit/@donkeypong/announcing-project-curie-bringing-rewards-and-recognition-to-steemit-s-undiscovered-and-emerging-authors) is a community project run by several Steemit authors. Its mission is to help reward content creators who are posting great original content, yet who have not yet become established. In the short time since Curie began, our writers group has partnered with @nextgencrypto and other whale accounts to bring rewards to these deserving authors. *Writers, artists, chefs, photographers, videographers, and many others have been recognized by these rewards.*\n\nEach day, the members of our Project will publish this list of the posts that Project Curie has chosen to reward recently. We hope that this list will provide more positive exposure to the authors we have selected. Also, it is an effort for us to be more transparent about which posts are being rewarded. We hope that you will consider following not only this @curie account, but also many of the authors whose work is featured here each day. **Please consider adding your comments on these posts also!**\n\nProject Curie's daily curation lists will now be called \"The Daily Curie\". We hope you like the name! Future editions of The Daily Curie will [feature our new logo](https://steemit.com/curie/@kevinwong/logo-contest-for-project-curie-contest-process-and-winners-announcement). For the latest on Project Curie, do check out our [Month #1 update](https://steemit.com/curie/@curie/special-edition-major-updates-and-project-curie-month-1-roundup-12-august-11-september-2016). \n\n----------------------\n\n## Today's Brief Analysis\n\nToday's list polls all posts curated between 17:00 14/09 UTC and 17:00 15/09 UTC.

Finally, the hands found the catches at either side of the helmet and popped it off. A black, shaggy head of hair emerged.* \n\n***If you've missed episodes, [visit my blog](https://steemit.com/@markrmorrisjr) to catch up. Be sure to follow me for updates in your feed!***\n\n\u201cEmil?\u201d Stella said, \u201cMeet Joshua. Are you okay?\u201d\n\nEmil, the Reaper suit\u2019s operator laughed, \u201cYeah, I\u2019m fine, but that was awesome! Can you teach us that?\u201d\n\n\u201cMan! Now I have to rebuild this helmet,\u201d Phil held up a small remote. \u201cAll I had to do was push this button,\u201d he said, pressing it, as the suit powered down. \u201cWhat did you do?\u201d\n\n\u201cThe \u2018nerve\u2019 bundle that controls these things motor skills is on the very top of the skull, under a thin piece of sheet metal, puncture it, it collapses. You didn\u2019t know that?\u201d Joshua said. \n\n\u201cWell, it appears we may need you more than you need us,\u201d Stella said. \u201cSo, just say the word and we\u2019ll get you where you need to be. Meanwhile, my team will be working on your son\u2019s location.\u201d\n\nJoshua dropped the letter opener and walked to the stairs, \u201cFine, whatever you need to collect from my meeting, get it. Now, who\u2019s driving?\u201d With that, he walked up the stairs, he had no more time to waste. \n\n**The Mapleton courthouse sat on a hill in the center of the town, overlooking the area around for miles.** \n\n*Joshua insisted that the team Stella had sent stop 5 miles out and allow him to ride in on the electric trike alone, while they observed the meeting from a distance.* \n\nHe carried the tiny remote in his shirt pocket, a gift from Phil. \u201cThat\u2019s my only prototype, so don\u2019t lose it,\u201d he\u2019d said. \n\n\n\nFrom the end of Main Street, looking up toward the courthouse, Joshua counted at least six reapers. He wondered how far the signal from the remote would travel. \n\nHe thought about pressing it now, disarming his enemy, then walking in, but he\u2019d still have to deal with the six drivers, if they managed to escape the suits. \n\nBesides, Stella seemed to think there was some secret they were going to give away, although Joshua couldn\u2019t imagine it. \n\n*He checked his watch, ten minutes until his scheduled time and while he knew better than to be late, he had no intention of giving the Consensus one more second than he had to.* \n\nThe trike spun it\u2019s tires on a patch of loose gravel as he started back up. He decided a quick approach was best. He charged up the hill, jumping the \u201cMayor\u2019s\u201d parking barrier and rolling up to the foot of the front stairs, he cranked the accelerator and the trike rose up on its back wheel, popping the two front wheels, over the bottom step. \n\nThe machine had more than enough power to climb the steps and Joshua skidded to a stop outside the courthouse door. He stopped and turned back toward the town, the six Reapers swarming toward him up the steps. He powered down, swung his leg up and over the bike and opened the door. \n\n**The Reapers followed him into the hall as he approached the court room.** \n\nThe Magistrate sat behind the judge\u2019s bench and Joshua couldn\u2019t help but smirk at the insult to the very concept of actual justice that this thing represented. \n\n\u201cJoshua Claiborne, appearing as requested,\u201d Joshua said, standing directly in front of the Magistrate. \n\n\n\n> \u201cYes, Mr. Claiborne, have a seat,\u201d A woman\u2019s face, projected on the face shield of the Magistrate said.\n\n\u201cI\u2019d rather stand,\u201d he said. \n\n> \u201cSuit yourself, may we have the room, please?\u201d she said, looking toward the reapers that had entered the back doors of the courtroom.\n\nThey left quietly. \n\n> \u201cMr. Claiborne, you\u2019re charged with violation of the first law, in so\n> much as you have encouraged and joined in the activity of settling\n> outside of Consensus approved areas, acted outside of the legal\n> jurisdiction of the council and on more than one occasion, acted\n> against the best interest of Consensus, including attacking duly\n> authorized Magistrates in the course of their legally binding duties,\n> how do you plead?\u201d\n\n**The woman looked at Joshua, peering over a pair of short, square spectacles, like some sort of outdated stereotype.** \n\n\u201cNot guilty, by reason of illegitimacy of the currently established government and its ensigns. I am not, nor do I choose to become, subject to your law. I stand judged as innocent by natural law, insomuch as I have not caused harm to another human in aggression, damaged or stolen property, nor unnecessarily restricted the liberty of any other person. I recognize no other responsibility to my fellow man,\u201d Joshua said calmly. \n\n> \u201cBe that as it may, Mr. Claiborne, we are not here under the auspices of \u201cnatural law\u201d but rather, under the Council mandated authority of the Consensus and its Magisterial Ministry, of which I am a part and I assure you, you are subject to,\u201d\n\nThe woman intoned, her expression one of almost sheer boredom.\n\n> \u201cCourt finds the defendant guilty and remands the subject for immediate judicial murder.\u201d\n\nThe magistrate raised its arm and brought it down on the bench with a solid thud, that echoed through the court. Joshua felt his heart sink as the Reapers reentered the court and moved up to surround him. \n\n## Look for the upvote button below. If you liked the post, upvote and share!

At the beginning of the WW II German command decided to create a mobile artillery on the basis of existing tanks, which would be able to support the infantry. The priority in new machine were the firepower, a good armor and cheapness. The firm Daimler-Benz successfully embodied these wishes into reality. There were about eight versions of StuG III, however, the main was Ausf. G. The cost of production of one StuG was quite low - 83 000 DM. Total was released 10500 machines. The basis for the creation was German tank PzKpfw III.\nInitially StuG III was equipped with a short-75mm gun, but when good armored Soviet T-34 came to the fronts, it was decided to replace short gun with a new long-barreled 75mm cannon Stuk 40 L / 48, which surely hit the Soviet tanks. StuG armor was quite good \u2013 50 mm in a front took a punch at a distance of 1 km. StuG III was very compact in a size and had good mobility. The main disadvantage was little size which allowed bad conditions for crew working. StuG III took active part in a war from the very beginning to its end. \nhttp://i.piccy.info/i9/5dc09cebc0ddfcd1fac4a8013ee385ad/1473836240/182233/1063747/5u9ghQyvkTc.jpg\n\n>\u041f\u043e\u0447\u043d\u0435\u043c\u043e \u0437 \u043d\u0430\u0439\u043c\u0430\u0441\u043e\u0432\u0456\u0448\u0457 \u041f\u0422-\u0421\u0410\u0423 \u0432 \u0456\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0440\u0456\u0457. \u041d\u0430 \u043f\u043e\u0447\u0430\u0442\u043a\u0443 \u0432\u0456\u0439\u043d\u0438 \u043d\u0456\u043c\u0435\u0446\u044c\u043a\u0435 \u043a\u043e\u043c\u0430\u043d\u0434\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0432\u0438\u0440\u0456\u0448\u0438\u043b\u043e \u0441\u0442\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0438\u0442\u0438 \u043c\u043e\u0431\u0456\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0443 \u0430\u0440\u0442\u0438\u043b\u0435\u0440\u0456\u044e \u043d\u0430 \u0431\u0430\u0437\u0456 \u0432\u0436\u0435 \u043d\u0430\u044f\u0432\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u0442\u0430\u043d\u043a\u0456\u0432, \u0437\u0434\u0430\u0442\u043d\u0443 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u0442\u0440\u0438\u043c\u0430\u0442\u0438 \u043f\u0456\u0445\u043e\u0442\u0443. \u041f\u0440\u0456\u043e\u0440\u0438\u0442\u0435\u0442\u043d\u043e\u044e \u0431\u0443\u043b\u0430 \u0432\u043e\u0433\u043d\u0435\u0432\u0430 \u043c\u0456\u0446\u044c, \u0433\u0430\u0440\u043d\u0435 \u0431\u0440\u043e\u043d\u044e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0456 \u0434\u0435\u0448\u0435\u0432\u0438\u0437\u043d\u0430. \u0424\u0456\u0440\u043c\u0430 Daimler-Benz \u0432\u0434\u0430\u043b\u043e \u0432\u0442\u0456\u043b\u0438\u043b\u0430 \u0446\u0456 \u043f\u043e\u0431\u0430\u0436\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0432 \u0440\u0435\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0456\u0441\u0442\u044c. \u0412\u0441\u044c\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0431\u0443\u043b\u043e \u0431\u043b\u0438\u0437\u044c\u043a\u043e \u0432\u043e\u0441\u044c\u043c\u0438 \u043c\u043e\u0434\u0438\u0444\u0456\u043a\u0430\u0446\u0456\u0439 StuG III, \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0442\u0435 \u043e\u0441\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043d\u043e\u044e \u0431\u0443\u043b\u0430 Ausf.

It was decided to create new Tank Destroyer based on the T-34, driving performance and armor of which were very good. Development of a new machine was conducted at Uralmash factory.\nSu-85 had a new long-barreled 85mm gun, similar to that which will soon be installed at T-34-85. This gun was able to destroy enemy medium tanks at the distance of over a kilometer, and heavy tanks \u2013 at 800 meters to a front plate. The gun was placed in the middle part of the Tanks Destroyer body and had angles of + - 8 degrees. Also the inside size of tanks was nice which allowed good conditions for crew working. Driving characteristics inherited from the T-34-85. Armor (45 mm at the front with big armor slope) provided good protection against German medium tanks. A little later, with the release of the T-34-85, SU-85 was converted under the new 100mm gun. It was a tool for successfully destroying any enemy tanks, including Tiger 2. Also Su-100 had a very low silhouette, which contributed to an excellent disguise. Observation and aiming devices have been improved. SU-100 was easy to maintain. This Tank Destroyer applied to the end of the WW II. Total were released 4976 SU-100 and 2050 SU-85.\nhttp://i.piccy.info/i9/4dc33c464a97ab5b3b8b294778f28103/1473836298/33303/1063747/WVaI_c18Lyw.jpg\n\n>\u0411\u043b\u0438\u0436\u0447\u0435 \u0434\u043e 1943 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0443 \u0440\u0430\u0434\u044f\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u043a\u043e\u043c\u0430\u043d\u0434\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044e \u0441\u0442\u0430\u043b\u043e \u0437\u0440\u043e\u0437\u0443\u043c\u0456\u043b\u043e, \u0449\u043e \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0435\u0444\u0435\u043a\u0442\u0438\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0457 \u0431\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0442\u044c\u0431\u0438 \u0437 \u043d\u043e\u0432\u0438\u043c\u0438 \u043d\u0456\u043c\u0435\u0446\u044c\u043a\u0438\u043c\u0438 \u0442\u0430\u043d\u043a\u0430\u043c\u0438 \u043f\u043e\u0442\u0440\u0456\u0431\u043d\u0456 \u0431\u0456\u043b\u044c\u0448 \u0441\u0443\u0447\u0430\u0441\u043d\u0456 \u043c\u0430\u0448\u0438\u043d\u0438. \u0411\u0443\u043b\u043e \u0432\u0438\u0440\u0456\u0448\u0435\u043d\u043e \u0441\u0442\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0438\u0442\u0438 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0442\u0438\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043a\u043e\u0432\u0443 \u0441\u0430\u043c\u043e\u0445\u0456\u0434\u043d\u0443 \u0443\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043a\u0443 \u043d\u0430 \u0431\u0430\u0437\u0456 \u0442\u0430\u043d\u043a\u0430 \u0422-34, \u0445\u043e\u0434\u043e\u0432\u0456 \u044f\u043a\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0456 \u0456 \u0431\u0440\u043e\u043d\u044f \u044f\u043a\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0431\u0443\u043b\u0438 \u0434\u0443\u0436\u0435 \u0445\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0448\u0456. \u0420\u043e\u0437\u0440\u043e\u0431\u043a\u0430 \u043d\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0457 \u041f\u0422-\u0421\u0410\u0423 \u0432\u0435\u043b\u0430\u0441\u044f \u043d\u0430 \u0423\u0440\u0430\u043b\u043c\u0430\u0448\u0437\u0430\u0432\u043e\u0434\u0456.\n\u0421\u0423-85 \u043c\u0430\u043b\u0430 \u043d\u043e\u0432\u0443 85\u043c\u043c \u043d\u0430\u0440\u0456\u0437\u043d\u0443 \u0433\u0430\u0440\u043c\u0430\u0442\u0443, \u0430\u043d\u0430\u043b\u043e\u0433\u0456\u0447\u043d\u0443 \u0437 \u0442\u043e\u044e, \u044f\u043a\u0430 \u043d\u0435\u0437\u0430\u0431\u0430\u0440\u043e\u043c \u0431\u0443\u0434\u0435 \u0432\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043b\u0435\u043d\u0430 \u043d\u0430 \u0442 34-85. \u0412\u043e\u043d\u0430 \u0434\u043e\u0437\u0432\u043e\u043b\u044f\u043b\u043e \u0431\u0435\u0437 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0431\u043b\u0435\u043c \u0432\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0430\u0442\u0438 \u0441\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0434\u043d\u0456 \u0442\u0430\u043d\u043a\u0438 \u0441\u0443\u043f\u0440\u043e\u0442\u0438\u0432\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0430 \u043d\u0430 \u0434\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d\u0446\u0456\u0457 \u0431\u0456\u043b\u044c\u0448\u0435 \u043a\u0456\u043b\u043e\u043c\u0435\u0442\u0440\u0430, \u0430 \u0432\u0430\u0436\u043a\u0456 -

The development of this Tank Destroyer at first was carried by a Krupp company, then it was given to a Daimler-Benz and at last it was finished by a MIAG company. So, the destiny of Jagdpather was hard. The development has been complicated by the regular air raids allies, constant shortage of necessary parts and confusion in the serial versions of the machine. Jagdpanther took the most actively part in the Ardennes offensive and the Balaton operation.\nhttp://i.piccy.info/i9/d2e68a346dd9f511c77c83d8b77eaf87/1473836361/30639/1063747/XmYA_dzfCU8.jpg\n\nIn general, as a Tank Destroyer Jagdpanthere was great. Maneuverability and speed characteristics were good because of using \u201cPanther\u201d basis. Armor of Jagdpanthere (80 mm in the front with a good armor slope) confidently defended the machine and a crew at the distance of 800 meters from all Soviet tanks. The new 88mm anti-tank gun allowed to destroy the enemy at a distance of 1km. Rate of fire at the same time was very high - 8 rounds per minute. The fighting compartment inside of a car was spacious and was equipped with ventilation, increasing the convenience of the crew working. And don\u2019t forget than Jagdpanther had a low silhouette.

In contrast to the Germans and the Soviets, who had good-armored Tank Destroyers with a powerful anti-tank gun and mediocre mobility, American Tank Destroyers were oriented on a good mobility firstly. M18 was developed for quickly interception of enemy tank formations and the destruction of their flanks. This also caused the weak armor, small caliber of guns and excellent mobility equipment. M18 had been developed by General Motors Buick Division, the cost of one machine was 57,000 dollars. Total it was produced 2507 M18.\nAt first it was planned to put the 37mm gun, but very soon it was decided to replace it by the 57mm British gun. But this was not enough, and in the final version M18 was equipped with a 76mm cannon from Shermans. New Tank Destroyer had a very light weight, had weak armor (20mm in the forehead) and the rotating tower, which was unusual for that time. Suspension provides the convenience of driving on rough terrain; the engine allowed reaching speed up to 45 km per hour. M18 was easy to operate and convenient to use. In general, the machine was ambiguous, absorbing a lot of bold decisions.\nhttp://i.piccy.info/i9/df0129bd789f7923e8f0306e5a8b6520/1473836445/147058/1063747/pxmv2fJDVRs.jpg\n\n>\u041a\u043e\u043d\u0441\u0442\u0440\u0443\u043a\u0446\u0456\u044f

And here are three unexpected benefits I have personally experienced in my own journey living with a degenerating eye condition.\n\n## Improved lateral thinking and innovation\nGrowing up with a vision impairment meant that there were often things that most people took for granted, but which I struggled to do. To do the same things, I needed to come up with creative solutions and alternative ways of doing things. So from a very young age, I learnt to think laterally and developed my problem solving skills. Most people are so use to perceiving the world in a certain way, but when you are stripped of one of your senses, you learn to perceive things in a different way.\n\nhttps://ipfs.pics/ipfs/QmWb5pzYhKKJZ8zmeYqVeV6oNqGi5h7yDEtxBbjwRdTUZ7\n\nWhen I was still living by myself a few years ago, I had the annoying task of having to cook for myself each night. The challenge I faced in the kitchen was not been able to read the labels on various bottles and containers. As a result, I couldn't tell which container was the salt and which one was the sugar, and all the packaging for the herbs looked the same. So how did I manage? Instead of using sight, I used my sense of smell to distinguish between the herbs, and for some ingredients where I couldn't use the sense of smell, I used different containers and labels to help me identify all the different ingredients.\n\nAnd this leads on to the second benefit.\n\n## Improved memory\nPeople who know me well often comment on my ability to remember things. In fact, I've noticed this in many other people I know who also have a vision impairment. I think this is due to the fact that for someone with a vision impairment to thrive in a sighted world, we often need to make extra effort to adapt to our circumstances.\n\nFor example, I remember when I was still in university, I had to do many presentations. For most people, they could refer to speech notes as they are presenting. However, for me, this was not possible, as I couldn't read speech notes no matter how big the font was. Furthermore, as I have some sight, I never needed to learn braille, which meant I couldn't refer to braille notes either. _As a side note, this is why the title of my memoir which I've been posting on Steemit is \"Living in Between Two Worlds\", because I have often found myself being caught between the world of the sighted and the world of the blind, and also between the identity of being Chinese but not fully Chinese, and being Australian but not fully Australian._ As a result, every time I had to do a presentation, I would always remember the entire speech. Over time, this has become second nature to me. I have learnt how to force things into my memory, and be innovative when I need to.\n\n## Resilience\nGrowing up with a vision impairment, I experienced a lot of bullying at school and a lot of hurtful comments and actions from people, sometimes done knowingly and sometimes unknowingly. Sometimes this comes in the form of a patronising comment, and sometimes from a look or stare. The interesting thing with people staring and giving me strange looks is that I can often notice people are doing it to me because I have some peripheral vision, however people generally can't tell I'm looking back at them because it doesn't seem like I'm looking at them. Most of the time however, those hurtful words and actions are done out of ignorance and a lack of understanding, rather then out of malice.\n\n#### But from all these things I've experienced, it has made me a stronger and more resilient person.\nAs a result, whatever unforeseen things I may experience in life, there's not much that can knock me out completely. I have developed the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and stay optimistic, because as they say:\n### What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.\n\nSo I'm thankful to God for the person I have become today. Disability isn't all bad. Without what I have gone through with my vision impairment, I wouldn't be the person I am today, and for these reasons, I am thankful.\n\nTo read more about my story, you can read my short memoir series.

+ "body": ">Today I told my dad the final date of my marriage: October 2nd . Few days ago, as I told him that I was going to get married in a few weeks, he got mad at me. \u201cI was expecting you to get a real job before you got married!\u201d was his main critique. \u201cHow can you get married *now*?\u201d he asked me.\n\nOggi ho detto a mio padre la data definitiva del mio matrimonio: due ottobre. Pochi giorni fa, quando gli ho detto che mi sarei sposato nel giro di poche settimane, si \u00e8 arrabbiato con me. \u201cMi sarei aspettato che ti trovassi un lavoro vero prima di sposarti\u201d \u00e8 stato il suo principale oggetto di critica. \u201cCome puoi sposarti *adesso*?\u201d mi ha chiesto.\n\n>Let me give you some background. I\u2019m 29 years old and I want to do many things in my life. I studied economics, worked for no-profit and academia and I published a book in May on the shifting economic paradigm. I dedicated the last year to this book, spent all the savings I had and by now I have a few weeks of financial autonomy left. Meanwhile I rented a room on Airbnb, learned how to do bracelets and sold them on the Ligurian (North-West Italy) seaside. Simultaneously, I\u2019m working on becoming what I call a cryptofarmer: in fact, my goal is to write and earn cryptocurrencies while living in the countryside in a small house I\u2019m transforming into a farm. I learned how to plant a vegetable garden, how to chop wood and limiting the expenses of food and heating.\nEven if sometimes I\u2019m scared I could not afford a living, I feeI I can make it. We can make it. In fact, few months ago a girl I met last winter in Chile joined me and is providing great help with her skills and work. And I\u2019m going to marry her in a few weeks, as I said.\n\nFacciamo un passo indietro. Ho 29 anni e voglio fare tante cose nella mia vita. Ho studiato economia, lavorato nel no-profit e nel mondo accademico per poi pubblicare, a maggio di quest\u2019anno, un libro sul cambio di paradigma in economia. Ho dedicato l\u2019ultimo anno a questo libro, ho speso tutti i miei risparmi e ho davanti ancora qualche settimana di autonomia finanziaria. Nel frattempo ho affittato una stanza su Airbnb e imparato a fare braccialetti che ho venduto sulla costa ligure. Parallelamente lavoro per diventare quello che chiamo un cryptofarmer; il mio obiettivo \u00e8 infatti quello di scrivere e guadagnare cripto-valute mentre vivo in una piccola casa di campagna che sto trasformando in fattoria. Ho imparato come piantare un orto, spaccare la legna e limitare le spese di cibo e riscaldamento.\nAnche se a volte ho paura di non riuscire a guadagnarmi da vivere, sento che ce la posso fare. Che ce la *possiamo* fare. Qualche mese fa, infatti, una ragazza che ho conosciuto lo scorso inverno in Cile si \u00e8 unita ai miei progetti e mi sta dando un grosso aiuto con le sue capacit\u00e0 e il suo lavoro. E io la sposer\u00f2 in qualche settimana, come dicevo.\n>My father is 69 years old. Oddly enough, he actually left countryside for the city \u2013 a choice diametrically opposite to the one I made \u2013 to become a lawyer and had success by working really hard. As far as I know, he wanted to be a journalist but chose to be a lawyer to get a better salary \u2013 as he got. He wanted me to be a lawyer too, of course, but when I chose to study economics he told me I could become an auditor; those were professions, in his words, that paid good.\n\nMio padre ha 69 anni. E\u2019 curioso come lui lasci\u00f2 la campagna per la citt\u00e0 \u2013 una scelta diametralmente opposta a quella che ho fatto io \u2013 per diventare un avvocato e l\u00ec ha avuto successo lavorando molto. Da quel che so, lui voleva fare il giornalista da giovane, ma poi ha scelto di fare l\u2019avvocato per avere un miglior salario \u2013 come appunto si \u00e8 verificato. Chiaramente voleva che anche io facessi l\u2019avvocato e successivamente, quando io scelsi di studiare economia, mi disse che potevo diventare il revisore contabile; mestieri, questi, che secondo lui erano ben remunerati. \n>Dear dad,\nA couple of years ago, you told that you were eventually glad I didn\u2019t follow your path and became a lawyer. The job had changed too much, you said. Now too many lawyers are fighting one against each other to get the job and clients are not paying for the work you did for them. That\u2019s how you described me your job \u2013 a job that in Italy, for your generation, was a synonym of success. A son who became a lawyer was a dream for the average family.\nWell, I\u2019m going to add a little piece to this picture. In a few decades, the whole profession of lawyer may become obsolete. Do you know that even today you can ask legal question to [Ross](http://www.psfk.com/2015/01/ross-ibm-watson-powered-lawyer-legal-research.html), an IBM powered machine? It will provide you an answer by sifting through thousands of legal documents, statutes and cases - assisting you to get ready for the case by including citations, suggested readings and confidence ratings. \nToday few technologies are ready to disrupt whole sectors of the economy. One of these is Artificial Intelligence that could make your profession obsolete. Another is the blockchain: that one could make the auditor and accountancy profession useless too. Have you ever heard about it? Some say it\u2019s important as the invention of the Internet.\n\nCaro pap\u00e0,\nQualche anno fa mi hai detto che in fin dei conti eri contento che non avessi seguito la tua strada e fossi diventato un avvocato. Il lavoro \u00e8 cambiato troppo, hai detto. Troppi avvocati in conflitto l\u2019uno contro l\u2019altro per accaparrarsi clienti che poi non pagano il lavoro che fai per loro. Cos\u00ec mi hai descritto il tuo lavoro \u2013 un lavoro che in Italia, per la tua generazione, era sinonimo di successo. Un figlio che diventava avvocato era un sogno per la famiglia media.\nBeh, lasciami aggiungere un pezzo a questa storia. In un paio di decadi, la professione stessa dell\u2019avvocato potrebbe diventare obsoleta. Sai che gi\u00e0 oggi puoi chiedere un parere legale a [Ross](http://www.psfk.com/2015/01/ross-ibm-watson-powered-lawyer-legal-research.html), una macchina sviluppata da IBM? Ti restituisce una risposta setacciando migliaia di documenti legali, statuti e casi \u2013 assistendoti a prepararti al caso includendo citazioni, letture consigliate e intervalli di confidenza. Alcune tecnologie sono sul punto di rivoluzionare interi settori dell\u2019economia. Una di queste \u00e8 l\u2019intelligenza artificiale che potrebbe rendere obsoleta la tua professione. Un\u2019altra \u00e8 la blockchain: questa potrebbe rendere inutile la professione del contabile e del revisore. Ne hai mai sentito parlare? Alcuni dicono che \u00e8 importante quanto l\u2019invenzione di Internet.\n>**You should really be glad I didn\u2019t choose your job just because it paid good**. As I was 18 (in 2005) being a lawyer paid good, in a decade it wasn\u2019t the case anymore. **In fact, between 2007 and 2014 the average income reported by Italian lawyers [declined from 51.314 euro to 37.505]( http://www.italiaoggi.it/news/dettaglio_news.asp?id=201603102026358478&chkAgenzie=ITALIAOGGI&titolo=Avvocati,%20redditi%20da%20dimenticare)**. Well, last decade \u2013 it is to be said - was a *century*: while economy collapsed in one of the worst crisis ever, technology produced unparalleled innovations. Before 2005 there was no Youtube. In 2005 there was no smartphone either. No-one can tell what are we going to see in the next decade. Some say there will be some big change in the workplace. In fact, [some researchers at Oxford]( http://www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/downloads/academic/The_Future_of_Employment.pdf) say that by 2035, half of the jobs Americans currently hold will be automatized. **Robots are simply better than men in doing robotic work**. Even the world\u2019s most ancient profession may suffer a strong decline with the development of virtual reality \u2013 this has become the next big thing in adult entertainment.\n\n**Devi essere davvero contento che non abbia scelto il tuo lavoro solo perch\u00e9 era ben remunerato**. Quando ancora io avevo 18 anni (nel 2005) fare l\u2019avvocato era remunerativo, ma nell\u2019arco di un decennio ci\u00f2 non era pi\u00f9 vero. **Tra il 2007 e il 2014 il reddito medio dell\u2019avvocato italiano [\u00e8 sceso da 51.314 euro a 37.505 euro]( http://www.italiaoggi.it/news/dettaglio_news.asp?id=201603102026358478&chkAgenzie=ITALIAOGGI&titolo=Avvocati,%20redditi%20da%20dimenticare)**. L\u2019ultimo decennio \u2013 bisogna riconoscerlo - ha rappresentato un *secolo*: mentre l\u2019economia collassava in una delle peggiori crisi di sempre, la tecnologia produceva innovazioni senza pari. Prima del 2005 non c\u2019era Youtube. Prima del 2005 non c\u2019era nemmeno lo smartphone. Nessuno pu\u00f2 dire cosa vedremo nel prossimo decennio. Molti dicono che ci saranno grossi cambiamenti sul luogo di lavoro. [Alcuni ricercatori di Oxford]( http://www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/downloads/academic/The_Future_of_Employment.pdf) dicono che entro il 2035, il 45% dei lavori attualmente svolti dagli americani verr\u00e0 automatizzato. **I robot svolgono meglio degli uomini i lavori da robot**. Perfino il mestiere pi\u00f9 vecchio del mondo potrebbe risentire di un forte declino a seguito dello sviluppo della realt\u00e0 virtuale \u2013 questa \u00e8 diventata l\u2019ultima novit\u00e0 nel mondo dell\u2019intrattenimento per adulti.\n>Don\u2019t worry, dad, and don\u2019t look at me as someone who is living hand to mouth. Many things are changing in the next years, together with most of the reference points we had. Those jobs who were good, could not be profitable and stable anymore. Most of all, the same idea of stability will change: we\u2019ll have to find stability surfing between waves of change. Choosing a job just because it pays good today, may not be a good strategy. **My generation is challenged to find and develop that personal value, those talents, that no machine could substitute. This is what I\u2019m doing \u2013 soon I\u2019ll write you how**.\n\nPer questo, pap\u00e0, non preoccuparti e non guardarmi come si guarda un figlio che vive di espedienti. Molte cose cambieranno nei prossimi anni, insieme a molti dei punti di riferimento che avevamo. Quei lavori che prima erano buoni, potrebbero non essere pi\u00f9 remunerativi e stabili. Pi\u00f9 di tutto, cambier\u00e0 l\u2019idea di stabilit\u00e0: dovremmo imparare a trovare la stabilit\u00e0 di un surfista a cavallo di ondate di cambiamento. Scegliere un lavoro solo perch\u00e9 paga bene oggi, potrebbe non essere una strategia che paga. **La sfida per la mia generazione \u00e8 di trovare e sviluppare quel valore personale, quei talenti, che nessuna macchina pu\u00f2 sostituire. Questo \u00e8 quello che sto facendo io \u2013 presto ti scriver\u00f2 come**.\n\nhttp://i68.tinypic.com/2hz9lz.jpg \n\n*Me, dad, fianc\u00e9, mum*\n\n***Don't forget to follow @cryptofarmer***\n***a shout out goes to @claudiop63 for assisting the Italian community so don't forget to follow him***",

\n\nHere I am spending the night in the darkness of my bedroom. Dog's snoring right beside me, his head resting on my chest. Feeling like I'm in some prologue of a cyberpunk story. Anyway, surfing on Steemit mobile is actually quite decent, despite the inadequacy of certain types of tables and media not showing up properly on screen.\n\nDecided to write this after going through some dramatic commentaries on Steemit that happened for the past few days. Mostly about ideological disagreements, and especially, overcompensation of posts. While I consider myself pretty critical, I usually opt out of direct, in-your-face type of confrontations. I prefer to plan and pick my own battles, having learned out of experience.\n\nBecause personally, I've never come across any situation that immediately improves itself after insults are thrown around. No one is going to admit wrong right away. Everyone's always right in their own world, and that's particularly true with the presence of an opposing voice. And it doesn't matter how zen one may be. No one's a perfect saint. Everyone has a breaking point. \n\nYup, I've snapped before, more than enough times to know this little fact of life. Nothing good comes out of throwing a fit (well not as much as can be). Sure, our message, our version of truth should be upheld. But there are better ways of fighting the good fight.. maybe like what I'm trying to do with this post right now. So what am I trying to address here?\n\n---------------------------\n# Plan your battles - don't join someone else's!\n
https://s10.postimg.org/ntels66d5/planning.jpg
\nThere was [a post on Steemit](https://steemit.com/anarchy/@kennyskitchen/the-40-anarchists-you-want-to-be-following-on-steemit) a while ago that labelled me an anarchist. Am I? Maybe I am. Sure, I'm against big, centralised governments. I may even detest the inherent thieving practices of big brother. But I'm still running a music event company - there are legal matters that I still need to run by government offices, purely out of safety and security reasons.\n\nYou may argue that it's perverted that I'm using an intrinsically violent agent (namely, The Government and The Police State) to secure the well-being of my business customers. Next I'll ask - can we have a decentralised free market doing music events with all the right securities? That's what my company, [Hybrid Entertainment](https://steemit.com/steemit-marketing/@kevinwong/our-next-dance-music-event-psychedelic-trance-some-steemit-love) partly aims to do. It's a learning process. \n\nFor now, we still need to use the existing structures of Old, Big Government.. while we find ways to transition out of such dependence. Fight too hard and you'll get clamped down, thrown out of the game. You can't do much when you're out of the game, so stay in it! Take the time to plan your battles, dear hot-blooded confrontationists (if that's even a word).\n\nSure, the world needs you to say things as they are. But hearing the painful truth is almost like violence itself. No one likes that, no matter which side of a dispute. Peace also involves peace of mind. It's a much longer game - it comes with the territory. You're already in someone else's fight once you get into war. Only get into war if you're the big guy. The small guy is always the loser - the unwilling pawn. Think about this in scope of what's happening all around the world, even on Steemit.\n\nDon't be a zealot. There are dangers of being too far left, or too far right. Find the middle way. All you need is another perspective. Some people may be asswipes, but goodness is omnipresent if the conditions are right.\n\nAnd that's how you plan your battles - take the time to do it right. \n\nIn perspective of my generally apolitical position on Steemit, I tend to find better ways to contribute instead of lashing out on another user. Sure, I have my dissatisfaction about some author rewards and posting models from time to time. However, I tried putting effort into building better models and figuring out ways to add substantial value into the ecosystem. Eventually, some of us gravitated towards a loose goal of rewarding diversity by combing contents on Steemit on a daily basis.\n\nThere are now epic giant hidden-gem megaposts on Steemit - like this one from [Project Curie](https://steemit.com/@curie) and [Robinhood Whale](https://steemit.com/@robinhoodwhale). Better coverage, better quality, better value - in so many ways. This is the free-market reaction to solo authored hidden-gem posts of early Steemit. No doubt that everything evolves over time. \n\nKnowing that value is subjective, I have always refrained from losing my cool. Even here on Steemit. \n\n**I'm the small fish and I have to plan my battles!**\n\n---------------------------------------\n\n# Don't freaking milk it!\n\n
https://s3.postimg.org/6ne6t272b/milk.jpg
\nThere are big reasons why most of us don't really like governments. Greed and corruption. Needless to say, the crowd easily picks up on this when insubstantial effort is rewarded handsomely. By all means, that's as subjective as can be. What's not (very) subjective, however, is if one continues to milk it, even despite public disapproval. \n\nThis happens all around the world. Don't oversell. You'll lose reputation if you are obviously **milking it**!\n\nSure, you may gain new followers.. newly inspired and freshly impressed. But old eyes grow weary. People are watching, and your social value fluctuates all the time. You can't please everyone, but you can try the **art of not milking the shit out of the system**.\n\nIt's a good business practice. It's a good personal conduct. And it works on Steemit.\n\nThat's a reason why I'm also posting lesser (other than plainly having a huge writer's block, reserving myself from random shitposting). Now I'm only writing when I really think I have something good to add as a post. As I'm partly dependent on Steemit, I've strategized a lil, refraining from appearing to be **milking it**, seeking modes of substantial contribution behind the scenes to compensate for the awesome support that has been given to me on this platform.\n\nIf you are suddenly rewarded thousands for a post - ask yourself. Is that post worth that much? Heck, I don't know if my top philosophical post is worth 4,000 bucks, but I know I've put long hours in it, enough to avoid milking and recycling the same content. Instead, I try to put more effort in other areas of the ecosystem to balance out the lopsided reward.\n\nThe blockchain is transparent. It's easy to find out if you're milking it. To avoid seeming like you're milking it - just be honest and ask yourself the right questions! Then, do the right thing!\n\n**Like life, like Steemit - try to give more than you can take. Don't. Freaking. Milk It.**\n\n----------------------------------\n\n# Take time to build, or take time to exploit?\n
\n\nNaturally, I'd say take time to build. Once you're caught exploiting the system, in life or on Steemit, you're lose reputation whether or not if its digitally measurable. You can create as many accounts as you want and find a million ways to exploit everything, but ask yourself - what are you building?\n\nHere are some tips for maintaining reputation on Steemit:-\n- Steemit's a mutual aid society. While posts can be about anything, note there's a limited amount of funds going around each day. It's obvious that your reputation is at stake if you have somehow managed to acquire good support, but not giving back substantially.\n- Tags are like real estate. Choose appropriately. An example is if you're writing your opinions on something rather meta, I think it's prudent to respect the scientific community. For example in [my article about consciousness](https://steemit.com/consciousness/@kevinwong/let-s-talk-about-consciousness-wtf-is-it), I've deliberately used the ***pseudoscience*** tag, no matter how right I think I could be. I clearly think about such topics often, but I never put myself in research labs knowing about consciousness well enough to indicate that I am the master of that domain.\n- Follow up on your promises. Communicate transparently.\n- Put in more effort, visibly and even behind the scenes when you manage to acquire good payouts.\n- Try to follow others. Curate and also support other members.\n- Plan your battles and don't milk it! And also, celebrity attitudes won't last long here if you're not giving back to the community. @dollarvigilante is doing this right - he's aiding others and even curating frequently on his free time!\n- Again, in general, give more than you can take.\n\n### Reputation is everything - for survival, for change in a social landscape.\n\n*Note: There is some form of censorship of the mind when it comes to chance of interruption from higher powers. It's the same everywhere. You just have to play your cards right, opting for different methods, different approaches. It's not really a systems-problem. It's a people-problem, as always. Never leave an opening for others to destroy your reputation.*\n\n-----------------------------------------------\n

Who Should We Find Responsible For The Subprime Mortgage Lending Crisis?
\n\nI want to preface this article by saying, I\u2019m not 100% sure who we should blame for the Subprime Mortgage Lending Crisis, the lenders or the borrowers which is why I want to attempt to fairly give arguments from both sides. Even today this is a heavily debated topic and I agree with points made by both sides. So I want you to decide as the reader, who you side with, and if you want to post in the comments below. This article is meant to shed light on who we should hold responsible for the Subprime Mortgage Crisis, the lenders or the borrowers, or someone else?\n\nhttp://longislandbankruptcyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/mortgage-bubble-bursting-by-the-sub-prime-mortgage-meltdown.jpg\n\n
The Lender\u2019s Side of The Argument
\n\nThe lender\u2019s side of the argument almost completely revolves around the idea that people need to educate themselves before they go into a bank and take on such a series contract, like a mortgage. Even in many cases where the information was fully available to the borrower, they signed the contract even though they didn\u2019t understand it. If you agree with consumer protection, the lenders should have stopped the transaction from taking place, but many believe that we should be free to make all decisions even bad ones. The truth is that these are companies, however and their only job is to look out for themselves. This lending is an especially weird occurrence because the force which usually stops this kind of behavior from taking place is that it would not be beneficial to the company, but mortgage brokers and the companies lending were making so much money that at the time it seemed like a good idea. \n\nhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/questions-lender.jpg\n\nAnother way the lenders justify their subprime lending practices was that they were getting pressure from higher up in the company to lend as much as possible because there was such a demand for the financial products on the markets. This is the old \u201cI was just following orders\u201d excuse, but there truly was heavy pressure from companies onto the brokers to loan as much as they could, or they would find someone else to do it. At the time most mortgage brokers legitimately didn\u2019t think that they were doing something bad. They didn\u2019t try to tank the system, they truly believed that the booming real estate market would be able to cover any losses if someone foreclosed on a property. We found out that this was a horribly wrong assumption eventually which lead to billions in toxic assets on the bank balance sheet worth nothing. Ultimately if you think that the consumer should have been diligent and did the required research before they took the mortgage contract, you might side with the side of the lenders\n\n
The Borrower\u2019s Side of The Argument
\n\nOn the flip side, the borrower\u2019s side of the argument claims that it is a company\u2019s duty to inform the customer and the government\u2019s duty to provide consumer protection so mortgages that were created with a high chance of failure wouldn\u2019t be possible. Borrowers also claim that many of the brokers specifically targeted low income and uneducated applicants so they could get a larger commission. In addition, the extreme leniency of the various types of mortgage products that were being offered at the time, for example not having to even show any income, should have been against the law. While not all brokers were predatory, there were many that were, which did target the low income and uneducated, but at the same time there were many borrowers who knew they couldn\u2019t afford the payments on the house and figured they would just resell it for profit. Consumer protection is a tricky subject , because at what point does it stop becoming protection and start becoming a barrier to entry. For example up until this year only Americans with an income of 250k + or 1,000,000 in assets (disregarding primary residence) were able to invest in private companies, many hedge funds and other investment vehicles, all because of consumer protection. \n\nhttps://activerain-store.s3.amazonaws.com/image_store/uploads/2/5/4/4/3/ar123584050234452.jpg\n\nMany people say that a fool and his money soon part ways and it\u2019s hard to wonder if people who signed into these mortgages would have lost money elsewhere on credit cards or payday loans. I think that the mortgage prices that were way to complex for anyone to even understand should have never been offered, but is it the government\u2019s place to protect a private entity from not offering them? Theoretically in a free market banks should not have offered the products because they were too risky and would have lost them money, but this force did not prevail. Whether or not you agree with the borrower heavily comes down to what degree you think consumer protection should play on your everyday life and how the government should police products. \n\n
Think of a foggy grey muck that encircles you head to toe. Severe depression strips you from being able to experience any joy in life, even when for all the world it appears you have everything going for you. Watered down commentaries attempt to describe the soul rotting misery of waking up in darkness every day. Who are those who can bolt out of bed ready to face the day with their happy attitudes about life? I don\u2019t know. I\u2019ve never been one. I dread waking up. One of the things really depressed people look forward to is a respite from consciousness. This is why those who suffer tend to sleep so much. It\u2019s escapism. Yet it isn\u2019t, because even in sleep you can be terrorized by your daytime demons. The quality of sleep is not restful \u2013 in fact, rather fitful. This is one reason so many people take mind-numbing tranquilizers to dull their wakeful state just to be able to drift away to somewhere, anywhere else than the dangerous and unchecked arena of the mind.
\n
People experience the tiers of depression's challenges in different ways. It\u2019s not being disappointed or being in a bad mood if something doesn\u2019t pan out in your favor. You chipped you manicure? Bugger. Irritating, yes, but it\u2019s not the end of the world. For a depressed person, something minor (for whatever reason) can hurl you head first into a bottomless void of regret and agony. You associate daily life with walking through a minefield. Danger lurks with every step. That ad for an antidepressant that shows a cartoon figure walking around under her own cloud of rain sums up the feeling quite well (of course it does \u2013 sponsored by The Pharmaceutical Cartel). You NEED this drug to function. That\u2019s another post, and I know far too well how drugs are touted as the magic solution. Not even children are safe from their campaigns.
\n
\n
It\u2019s the ultimate mind-fuck factory, this thought prison that leads you through Dante\u2019s circles of hell as you try to scramble your way out of the snake pit. The thoughts pull you back in by your ankles. Like a horror movie, the entity of depression knows what scares you. It knows what makes you wail in despair. It knows your saddest thoughts and flashes those across the movie screen in your head in incessant reruns. You are a spectator, but unable to avert your eyes.
\n
You have things to do? Most can buck up and get 'er done. A very depressed person knows what must be done yet can\u2019t do it. Cannot. It\u2019s not possible. It has nothing to do with laziness and everything to do with apathy. The effort isn\u2019t worth it. You know you will feel better if such and such gets done. So the obvious solution is to do it. You have errands to run? Get in the car and go. But for a depressed person, the mundane becomes detestable to such an extent that not even the guilt for not doing the things is unable to motivate you enough to accomplish what is impossible in your mind.
\n
\n
Once while touring Alcatraz, I was struck by something the tour guide told us. The island is positioned in just the right way that all the prisoners could smell the Ghirardelli chocolate factory wafting its chocolate scent across the bay, no doubt driving inmates insane. This is much like depression. You are stuck in a jail cell knowing everyone else is living happily while you miss out on what you know (on some level) is a gift \u2013 life itself. You can only observe from afar.
\n
You know those days when you feel like a sloth and nothing gets done? For many depressed people that\u2019s every day. By getting nothing done I don\u2019t mean cleaning out the refrigerator or reading a book your friend needs back. I mean responsibilities you must accept as an adult, as a parent. You can\u2019t function. Your kids are hungry, but you can\u2019t do anything about it because you can\u2019t move. You have an empty stare and wonder if it\u2019s too early for a drink. It\u2019s only one in the afternoon. Can it be justified?
\n
And you can\u2019t stop seeing those stories about the Yulin dog meat festival. This is horrible because an animal suffering is the worst thing in the world to me. Or those commercials by the SPCA. The thoughts hit hard, bating me. \u201cUh oh! She\u2019s making some progress \u2013 what is she sad about? Let\u2019s infect.\u201d Self-sabotage is the name of the game. For a depressed person, thoughts take over and pollute your whole mind.
\n
You hope you will feel better tomorrow, or someday. You keep saying someday. But that wastes away today. You hide from friends and family because the idea of faking a smile is akin to torture. And you think no one cares about your problems. Or they are tired of hearing about them because they are always the same. Your brain is wired differently. Some of the most creative genius comes from a desolate mental state. It can, but only If you can get any mental energy together to be productive.
\n
Your friends email you cures for migraines. You have had to invent numerous excuses that involve having them, because that\u2019s a reasonable excuse to cancel plans. Saying you\u2019re sad or not in the mood will get \u201cI\u2019ll cheer you up\u201d from well-meaning friends and family. But you want to be alone, completely isolated, in bed, with the covers pulled up over your head. And you want to cry. And I don\u2019t mean a few tears. I mean heart-wrenching sobs that no one would want to hear.
\n
You yell at people you love. You cry easily. They can\u2019t help you but they can sure piss you off. And we are pissed at ourselves, because children have needs that must be met -no question about it. And you know are letting them down with your suffering. Another blow. We do not feel sorry for ourselves in the traditional sense. We do feel sorry that we can\u2019t get a grip as we are often told to do. We feel guilty for letting others down who matter as they stand by helpless, completely befuddled about their roles in all of this. They feel responsible You want to convey it\u2019s not them or their fault, but they start to not believe you. It\u2019s no one\u2019s fault. It simply is.
\n
Some days are easier than others. I often do well when the stars align - deceptively so, or maybe not deceptive. Maybe I am getting a handle on this curse. It\u2019s a constant roller coaster of wondering when the happy cart will upturn and everything you manage to put in there (composure, self-esteem, productivity) scatters across the road. And cars are coming, but you have to try to summon up the ability to put them back in and continue on your journey. It\u2019s like you are that one slow car on a hill that everyone zips past because they don\u2019t carry the burden of your load.
\n
Is life a beautiful thing? Yes. It is. Is it filled with sadness? Yes to that too. Can a depressed person overcome depression? I think so. But in order to answer that, you must be willing to look at your origins to discover what might be holding you back.

Drawings and painting \u00a9 Johanna Westerman 2016
I am deeply convinced that the people imprinted on these black-and-white photographs never suspected what will happen to them in the future, whether it is immediate or distant As well as they didn't realized how quickly the years will pass, changing all the world around. So, as you look at their careless faces, you fairly quickly realize that your current situation is not much different.
Everything that happens around us changes the world we are witnessing. We live in an age of technological progress; the advent of the first computers, the Internet, gadgets, social networks, online games, e-commerce, cryptocurrency and, finally, a blockchain social network - the Steemit, which makes our minds work for creation of good content and its curation.
And in 10 years, or maybe much earlier, we will see a completely different picture of reality. Generation Steem is coming. The generation that changed everything around and changed itself as well, in opposite to that generation you run with your eyes, trying to convince its immutability and the impossibility of change. No, this already will be the world of the past.
\n\nIn past issues, we\u2019ve documented increasingly concerned billionaires warning of dangerous economic times. Many have favored gold as an alternative allocation in a world where $13 trillion-worth of debt is negative yielding, interest rates are artificially suppressed and we\u2019re on the brink of major wars.\n\nThe newest addition to this gold-loving billionaire's club, is none other than hedge-fund manager Paul Singer. At CNBC\u2019s Delivering Alpha Investors Conference this week, the founder of the $27-billion Elliott Management Fund, the 17th largest hedge fund in the world, mentioned that at current prices gold is \u201cundervalued\u201d and \u201cunderrepresented in many portfolios as the only ... store of value that has stood the test of time.\u201d\n\nSinger, along with numerous other hedge-fund managers, has been increasingly outspoken in his criticism of the Federal Reserve and other central banks for creating dangers in the market unlike any in what he terms the \u201c5,000 year-ish\u201d history of finance. Singer noted that \u201cit's a very dangerous time in the global economy and global financial markets.\"\n\nThis quote is frighteningly similar to the response given by Donald Trump on Fox Business not long ago when he was asked if he had money in the market. He answered, \u201cI did, but I got out,\u201d and then went on to say that he expected \u201cvery scary scenarios\u201d for investors.\n\nSinger also stated that he thinks owning medium- to long-term first world debt is a \u201creally bad idea\u201d... and then proceeded to tell listeners to sell their 30-year bonds.\n\nEarlier in the conference, prior to Singer, Ray Dalio who is the manager of the largest hedge fund in the world, Bridgewater Capital, was also vocal about the diminishing returns provided by government debt held by central banks. \u201cThere\u2019s only so much you can squeeze out of the debt cycle,\" he said. He went on to say that central banks are at a point now where their ability to stimulate is limited.\n\nSeated next to Dalio was Former Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner who voiced concern about limited \u201ctools in the keynesian arsenal,\u201d that probably wouldn\u2019t be enough to offset the next recession.\n\nGeithner obviously believes that a recession is on the way. Dalio and Singer are trying to convey the same message. A massive crunch is looming.\n\nWe agree with them, although we believe Geithner was sugarcoating what\u2019s to come.\n\nAfter all, we are on the precipice of a crash of biblical proportions according to the former chief economist of the Bank for International Settlements, William White.\n\nWe have mentioned his quote numerous time here at TDV but feel it\u2019s important to reiterate because of its magnitude: \u201cThe only question is whether we are able to look reality in the eye and face what is coming in an orderly fashion, or whether it will be disorderly. Debt jubilees have been going on for 5,000 years, as far back as the Sumerians.\u201d\n\nAs the Fed considers its second rate hike in 10 years, Singer condemned policy-makers for acting with \u201camazing arrogance\u201d when he and others had warned of a mortgage crisis prior to 2008.\n\nWhat he and those who agreed with his stance don\u2019t know, or at least won\u2019t state publicly, is that these shoddy central bank policies are detrimental by design. In other words, their sole purpose is to destabilize the world economy.\n\nThis deliberate market sabotage is necessary for the transference of power from the more developed nations to less developed ones. Ultimately, the idea is to eliminate smaller regional and national central banks. Once things get bad enough, these smaller banks will be blamed for provoking a given crisis. And, secondarily, the end goal is to blow up the entire system in order to bring in the one world government and central bank.\n\nThe elites have used the same tactics time and time again throughout history. First, they create the problem, then there is a reaction, and then finally they come swooping in to \u201cvaliantly save\u201d the day. It's happened numerous times before.\n
\nAnd it will soon happen again.\n\nOf course, the globalists have demonstrated that every intervention only makes situations worse.\n\nWe reported on the blatant thievery going on at Wells Fargo in our last article and noted how the elites were probably laughing hysterically at what they\u2019re able to get away with. They were even able to convince many younger American voters that \u201cdemocratic socialism\u201d would be their savior, as seen by the significant, youthful support for Bernie Slanders. Debt and currency crises have already started to materialize, as we\u2019ve seen in the socialist utopia that is Venezuela. If this is any indication of what\u2019s to come, the future is looking awfully gloomy.\n\nAs Singer and others including Dalio have mentioned before, the most tried and true measure of wealth and value is gold.\n\nAt TDV we provide unique Austrian-economics based analysis from the anarcho-capitalist pespective of the state of the world\u2019s economy, as well as suggestions on how to protect your assets in these tempestuous and unprecedented times.\n\nJacob Rothschild, a member of the family partly responsible for the creation of all this chaos, even said himself that we are in \u201cuncharted waters\u201d and that it\u2019s \u201cimpossible to predict the unintended consequences of very low interest rates.\u201d\n\nWe have a pretty good idea of what the consequences will be and we\u2019re taking action to protect ourselves and even profit from them. Rothschild seems to know the consequences, as well, as he has been buying up gold and selling the stock market and the US dollar.\n\nYou can survive and profit from the orchestrated collapse too. Subscribe to TDV\u2019s newsletter here to receive constantly updated information on how to protect your family and friends.\n\nIn the end, it is getting truly bizarre just how many billionaires, central bankers and others of note are all warning of the coming collapse. We\u2019d almost begun to worry that they were going to pull a switch-a-roo on us, but if you asked the great majority of investors and financial analysts, they\u2019ll tell you that they see nothing but smooth sailing ahead.\n\nSo, while many are warning, many are hearing, but not listening. The bible said something about that, I believe.\n
This will be special update from Project Curie. One month ago, Project Curie began with humble beginnings. It has been an exhilarating experience for the team and we are delighted to share our progress with the Steemit community. To know more about Project Curie, do check out our initial announcement.
\n
Project Curie wishes to thank @pharesim, @val, @silversteem and @clayop along with @nextgencrypto and @berniesanders for helping us reward more deserving posts
\n
When a group of Steemit writers got together to form Project Curie, we thought that if we pooled our own votes on some posts, we could help reward some emerging and undiscovered authors who were posting great original material.
\n
$5 later, it was clear our combined votes wouldn\u2019t make a huge difference.
\n
Fortunately, we were able to form a partnership with @nextgencrypto who was generous enough to donate some voting power to help reward deserving posters who were not yet established. @berniesanders then joined to help. With their support, Project Curie became a reality.
\n
Today, we announce that @val, @pharesim, @silversteem and @clayop also have donated additional voting power to help Project Curie reach a greater number of original content posts from undiscovered and deserving authors. Please join us in thanking them. And please do not send your posts directly to any of these individuals; Project Curie is curating the posts and you are welcome to submit any good ones you find to the #curie channel on Steemit.chat.

Proyecto Cervantes
\n
Project Curie is excited to announce a new branch of curation created to support Spanish authors on Steemit. The branch is called \u201cProyecto Cervantes\u201d and it\u2019s main curators are @gargon and @pgarcgo. The goal is to find and reward Spanish or bilingual (Spanish and English) posts on Steemit in order to foster a more diverse community. @gargon and @pgarcgo will be creating a compilation post for every 10 posts that they curate in order to provide transparency as to which posts are being rewarded. The hope is also to provide the original authors more exposure. You can find their first compilation posts here and here. Two members of Project Curie are Spanish speakers ( @anwenbaumeister and @the-alien), and they provide a second line of curation and review for these posts. So, if you are a Spanish speaker, we encourage you to begin writing bilingual posts in order to create a bridge between the two languages and communities!

We are working to increase our reach and rewards for authors, courtesy of extended whale support. We are also setting up @curie as a universal voter for all posts we curate. This way, you can choose to mirror our votes to support the authors. Look out for an announcement regarding this in our Daily Curation List posts. From next week, every Monday we'll have a Weekly Roundup with statistics, similar to this post.
\n
We are always open to feedback, and would love to know how you feel we could do better in Month #2!
The museum I work at is unique because we showcase animals that are native to Virginia -- meaning that these are animals people will find close to home, rather than across the ocean in some distant country. This makes my job more crucial in that I am responsible for educating people about the reptiles and amphibians that they will find in their own backyards. And obviously, there\u2019s one group of reptiles that gives people more pause than almost any other animal . . . .
I do public programs featuring snakes quite frequently. I believe people should know how to identify local venomous/non-venomous snakes, their role in the environment and how to deal with them when they are in close proximity to our homes. Usually, I get eager audiences asking great questions. But, every now and then, I get some idiot who tells me, \u201cI saw that same snake in my backyard! I chopped off its head with a shovel!\u201d
\n
Are they an idiot for killing the snake? Not necessarily . . . I don\u2019t know the situation behind the encounter. But, only an idiot would walk into a wildlife facility, approach a zoo keeper and proudly declare that they kill the very same animals that the keeper is charged with the care for. Would you walk into an animal shelter and tell someone working there that you enjoy stomping on puppies? To us, there\u2019s not much difference\u2026
The best we can do in these situations is to try to educate people. This can be difficult because so many people are set in their ways -- plus we have to combat an instinctive fear and prejudice against snakes. So, I\u2019m going to briefly lay it all out for you and tell you \"Why you shouldn\u2019t kill that snake in your yard.\"
1. It\u2019s ILLEGAL in most states to kill a wild snake, unless that snake presents an IMMEDIATE threat. And no, a snake crawling through your yard does not represent a good enough excuse to use force. We\u2019re talking about a situation where a venomous snake is about to strike and you have no escape route but to fight your way out. And guess what, that really doesn\u2019t ever happen (barring instances where someone purposefully provokes an animal). Wildlife and law enforcement agencies are cracking down on people killing snakes, so it\u2019s better to keep yourself out of trouble.
2. You are putting yourself in harm\u2019s way. The vast majority of snake bites occur when people attempt to capture or kill snakes. If left alone, the snake CANNOT hurt you. Call wildlife services or trained professionals to remove the animal.
3. It\u2019s an incredibly beneficial animal, and you\u2019d be foolish to kill it. Small snakes eat a huge variety of pest insects that destroy gardens, while large snakes typically feed on rats and other rodents that infest our homes. If you see a large snake hanging around, you have a rodent problem; snakes will not hang around if there is no food source. To keep snakes from being attracted to your property, do your best to remove any shelter or food sources that would attract rodents. Some snakes even eat other snakes, and species like the harmless king snake will even feed on venomous species!
4. Another snake might show up. Snakes will not typically inhabit the same area in order to avoid competition. If you kill that harmless rat snake, but you still have a food source nearby, another snake may move in to make use of that source. The new snake may be another harmless species or something a bit less desirable. So why not let that harmless snake take care of the infestation for you?
Having a snake around can be hugely beneficial to you. It is a free, environmentally-safe form of pest control. Snakes, including venomous species, are non-aggressive animals (unless you provoke them) that will actively do their best to AVOID people. A resident snake will often go unnoticed by homeowners, and most encounters are fleeting glimpses of the snake making a hasty escape. Remember that snakes have their own unique role in the environment, and regardless of our own fears and feelings towards them, they are a necessary part of life.
\n\n__________________________________\n\n**Chapter ONE**\n\nIt seemed as nothing was different in yet another cold and slightly windy London evening. The smog from the river was rising up as usual and the chilly wind would bring the smell up to the embankment, where Charles was taking a rest, sitting down on his favorite bench. \n\nFrom here he could see the might of the power station from across the river and something was special in the way those chimneys threw out the smoke onto the city. \n\nHe just finished his walk along his usual route, walking amongst the cemetery outside the chapel. It always amused him; that mix of emotion and sorrow amongst the busy city people, especially during the busy afternoon hours.\n\nThat rusty smell kept mixing with up with the light freshness of the leaves from the tree nearby Charles\u2019s bench. As he threw a brief glimpse onto the clock on the parliament building he noticed that the small arrow was on 45 minutes\u2026 \n\nSuddenly he heard a murmur of horses; he turned his head before he could finish realizing what time it was. He saw that just a few yards up the road two horse carriages didn\u2019t manage to share the drive way. \n\n
\n\nOne of the coachmen was shouting something and angrily waving his hands. Charles was able to see from here that the coachmen\u2019s grey clothing was partially covered in dirt, probably from the splash of the puddles from underneath the wheels. \n\nThe coachmen kept shouting something, Charles was unable to see the second carriage from where he was sitting, but was able to see some passersby, that starting to gather around the incident.\n\nIt was obvious that, just like him, those people had nothing better to do on this late afternoon then to watch in amusement the accident in the middle of the avenue.\n\nJust as Charles was starting to lose interest in the whole situation, the door of the cab that Charles could see, opened and a man dressed in a black suit and holding a pipe stepped out. He calmly put his hand in the upper inner pocket of the suit and pulled out some coins. The man made two steps up to driver and handed him the coins. At this moment the driver stopped shouting for a moment and it was clear from the look on his face that he was confused. \n\nThe cab driver counted the coins and said something to the man in the suit, the passenger didn\u2019t answer. He turned around and started to walk in the direction of the chapel. The cab driver clearly wasn\u2019t happy. He started to shout once again, but this time at the passenger. While the cab driver turned his attention to the passenger, Charles noticed how the second carriage that was involved in the accident managed to move a few yards back.\n\nIt was a much smaller carriage, and the driver was clearly seeable to Charles now. He seemed somewhat happy that he was not in the middle of the light anymore; he hurryingly turned the carriage and the horse around and started to move also in the direction of the chapel. \n\nAt this moment the driver of the first carriage started to lose interest in shouting and decided to clean himself up. As he started to calm down, the bemused passersby begun to walk back to where they were heading and Charles also turned his head back towards the power station.\n\nCharles was so busy watching the situation unfold that he didn\u2019t noticed that the passenger of the first carriage crossed the road and was now heading not towards the chapel anymore, but exactly in the other direction, towards the grey bench that Charles was sitting on.\n\nAt first Charles didn\u2019t pay any attention to just another man who was walking by. But then he noticed that calm walk of his and it hit him that this was the same passenger from the carriage.\n\n\u201cExcuse me sir?\u201d said Charles as the man closed up to the bench. \u201cYou are the gentleman from the carriage, aren\u2019t you?\u201d \u201cI saw you a minute ago, what happened?\u201d\n\nThe man stopped to walk and shared a look with Charles; he calmly sat down beside him and carried on smoking his pipe, as he was not hearing the questions Charles asked him. \n\n\u201cI do apologies for the intervention, but you must not be local, I can tell by your calmness, all the folks round here are always in a hurry\u201d Charles carried on talking as if not noticing that the man was ignoring him. \n\nAll of a sudden the weather begun to change, wind started to blow stronger and the few leaves that the tree was holding blew in the direction of the bench. The smell from the river rose up and as if that wasn\u2019t enough Charles felt like a small rain drop hit his head. He could clearly see the green water from where he was sitting through the decorations holes of the embankments fence. It was clear that it will start to rain soon by the appearing circles on the top of the river.\n\nAfter a few minutes of quietly seating by his new neighbor Charles caught himself looking at the clock on the tower, once again he saw the small arrow on 45 minutes\u2026\n\n\u201cAnd what do we pay the government for?\u201d \u201cIt would feel though they are taking our money and spend it on their fancy hats and suits, don\u2019t you find?\u201d Said Charles.\n\nAt this point the man took out the pipe into his left hand and begun to cough. After he finished coughing Charles heard him speak, at this point Charles understood that for some reason he would remember this moment for a long time to come. \n\n\u201cIt is likely to assume that they deserve to spend the money they earn\u201d Said the man, his voice was quite low and he had a certain accent Charles could quite catch.\n\n\u201cI don\u2019t think that money is of importance nowadays\u201d Said the man.\n\nCharles looked at the man with a smile - \u201cWhat is of importance? One might assume that philosophically speaking, importance can be found in nothing but what is good to us\u201d.\n\n\u201cNo body knows what can be important to others if we carry on like this, then\u2026\u201d Charles didn\u2019t finish his sentence as the man turned away from him and looked the other way. He then turned his head back and Charles noticed his eyes. His eyes were nothing like what Charles had seen before, they looked as though they were glass like and the as if they were blank, there was nothing behind them.\n\n\u201cWhat is important is that I am here now and that it is happening today. It is important to live your life because, just like your life Charles, it has an end\u201d, the man looked somewhat happy when he said that and Charles jumped back on the bench a little, he felt a small shiver run down his spine.\n\n\u201cWhat? How do you know my name sir? Have you been following me?\u201d questions were racing through Charles\u2019s mind. \n\n\u201cAs I said, this is now of importance. You life can find its end today when you get back to your gallery in your cold basement on Kinnerton street or you might listen to me and\u2026\u201d Charles didn\u2019t let the man finish his sentence. He jumped up from the bench; his cane flew within millimeters of the stranger leg as he jumped.\n\n\u201cHow dare you sir? Who gives you the right\u2026\u201d Charles raised his voice, he never allowed himself to raise his voice at a stranger beforehand.\n\n\u201cI think this conversation is over!\u201d exclaimed Charles. \u201cThat would be your choice\u201d replied the man, \u201cDo you think the time is right?\u201d \n\nCharles had already turned away in anger and was about to make his first step away. Something in the words of the man about the time made him think for a second, thoughts raced through his mind. The number 45 and the small arrow of the parliament clock were stuck in his head. \n\n\u201cI don\u2019t understand said Charles\u2026\u201d he turned his head back towards the clock; the arrow was still on 45 minutes. \u201cHow is that possible?\u201d Charles turned his head to the man, but there was no one on the bench. \n\nCharles begun to search the street rapidly with his eyes, it didn\u2019t even occur to him that it was heavily raining until that moment. \n\n
\n\n## Introduction\n[Project Curie](https://steemit.com/steemit/@donkeypong/announcing-project-curie-bringing-rewards-and-recognition-to-steemit-s-undiscovered-and-emerging-authors) is a community project run by several Steemit authors. Its mission is to help reward content creators who are posting great original content, yet who have not yet become established. In the short time since Curie began, our writers group has partnered with @nextgencrypto and other whale accounts to bring rewards to these deserving authors. *Writers, artists, chefs, photographers, videographers, and many others have been recognized by these rewards.*\n\nEach day, the members of our Project will publish this list of the posts that Project Curie has chosen to reward recently. We hope that this list will provide more positive exposure to the authors we have selected. Also, it is an effort for us to be more transparent about which posts are being rewarded. We hope that you will consider following not only this @curie account, but also many of the authors whose work is featured here each day. **Please consider adding your comments on these posts also!**\n\nProject Curie's daily curation lists will now be called \"The Daily Curie\". We hope you like the name! Future editions of The Daily Curie will [feature our new logo](https://steemit.com/curie/@kevinwong/logo-contest-for-project-curie-contest-process-and-winners-announcement).

Finally, the hands found the catches at either side of the helmet and popped it off. A black, shaggy head of hair emerged.* \n\n***If you've missed episodes, [visit my blog](https://steemit.com/@markrmorrisjr) to catch up. Be sure to follow me for updates in your feed!***\n\n\u201cEmil?\u201d Stella said, \u201cMeet Joshua. Are you okay?\u201d\n\nEmil, the Reaper suit\u2019s operator laughed, \u201cYeah, I\u2019m fine, but that was awesome! Can you teach us that?\u201d\n\n\u201cMan! Now I have to rebuild this helmet,\u201d Phil held up a small remote. \u201cAll I had to do was push this button,\u201d he said, pressing it, as the suit powered down. \u201cWhat did you do?\u201d\n\n\u201cThe \u2018nerve\u2019 bundle that controls these things motor skills is on the very top of the skull, under a thin piece of sheet metal, puncture it, it collapses. You didn\u2019t know that?\u201d Joshua said. \n\n\u201cWell, it appears we may need you more than you need us,\u201d Stella said. \u201cSo, just say the word and we\u2019ll get you where you need to be. Meanwhile, my team will be working on your son\u2019s location.\u201d\n\nJoshua dropped the letter opener and walked to the stairs, \u201cFine, whatever you need to collect from my meeting, get it. Now, who\u2019s driving?\u201d With that, he walked up the stairs, he had no more time to waste. \n\n**The Mapleton courthouse sat on a hill in the center of the town, overlooking the area around for miles.** \n\n*Joshua insisted that the team Stella had sent stop 5 miles out and allow him to ride in on the electric trike alone, while they observed the meeting from a distance.* \n\nHe carried the tiny remote in his shirt pocket, a gift from Phil. \u201cThat\u2019s my only prototype, so don\u2019t lose it,\u201d he\u2019d said. \n\n\n\nFrom the end of Main Street, looking up toward the courthouse, Joshua counted at least six reapers. He wondered how far the signal from the remote would travel. \n\nHe thought about pressing it now, disarming his enemy, then walking in, but he\u2019d still have to deal with the six drivers, if they managed to escape the suits. \n\nBesides, Stella seemed to think there was some secret they were going to give away, although Joshua couldn\u2019t imagine it. \n\n*He checked his watch, ten minutes until his scheduled time and while he knew better than to be late, he had no intention of giving the Consensus one more second than he had to.* \n\nThe trike spun it\u2019s tires on a patch of loose gravel as he started back up. He decided a quick approach was best. He charged up the hill, jumping the \u201cMayor\u2019s\u201d parking barrier and rolling up to the foot of the front stairs, he cranked the accelerator and the trike rose up on its back wheel, popping the two front wheels, over the bottom step. \n\nThe machine had more than enough power to climb the steps and Joshua skidded to a stop outside the courthouse door. He stopped and turned back toward the town, the six Reapers swarming toward him up the steps. He powered down, swung his leg up and over the bike and opened the door. \n\n**The Reapers followed him into the hall as he approached the court room.** \n\nThe Magistrate sat behind the judge\u2019s bench and Joshua couldn\u2019t help but smirk at the insult to the very concept of actual justice that this thing represented. \n\n\u201cJoshua Claiborne, appearing as requested,\u201d Joshua said, standing directly in front of the Magistrate. \n\n\n\n> \u201cYes, Mr. Claiborne, have a seat,\u201d A woman\u2019s face, projected on the face shield of the Magistrate said.\n\n\u201cI\u2019d rather stand,\u201d he said. \n\n> \u201cSuit yourself, may we have the room, please?\u201d she said, looking toward the reapers that had entered the back doors of the courtroom.\n\nThey left quietly. \n\n> \u201cMr. Claiborne, you\u2019re charged with violation of the first law, in so\n> much as you have encouraged and joined in the activity of settling\n> outside of Consensus approved areas, acted outside of the legal\n> jurisdiction of the council and on more than one occasion, acted\n> against the best interest of Consensus, including attacking duly\n> authorized Magistrates in the course of their legally binding duties,\n> how do you plead?\u201d\n\n**The woman looked at Joshua, peering over a pair of short, square spectacles, like some sort of outdated stereotype.** \n\n\u201cNot guilty, by reason of illegitimacy of the currently established government and its ensigns. I am not, nor do I choose to become, subject to your law. I stand judged as innocent by natural law, insomuch as I have not caused harm to another human in aggression, damaged or stolen property, nor unnecessarily restricted the liberty of any other person. I recognize no other responsibility to my fellow man,\u201d Joshua said calmly. \n\n> \u201cBe that as it may, Mr. Claiborne, we are not here under the auspices of \u201cnatural law\u201d but rather, under the Council mandated authority of the Consensus and its Magisterial Ministry, of which I am a part and I assure you, you are subject to,\u201d\n\nThe woman intoned, her expression one of almost sheer boredom.\n\n> \u201cCourt finds the defendant guilty and remands the subject for immediate judicial murder.\u201d\n\nThe magistrate raised its arm and brought it down on the bench with a solid thud, that echoed through the court. Joshua felt his heart sink as the Reapers reentered the court and moved up to surround him. \n\n## Look for the upvote button below. If you liked the post, upvote and share!

At the beginning of the WW II German command decided to create a mobile artillery on the basis of existing tanks, which would be able to support the infantry. The priority in new machine were the firepower, a good armor and cheapness. The firm Daimler-Benz successfully embodied these wishes into reality. There were about eight versions of StuG III, however, the main was Ausf. G. The cost of production of one StuG was quite low - 83 000 DM. Total was released 10500 machines. The basis for the creation was German tank PzKpfw III.\nInitially StuG III was equipped with a short-75mm gun, but when good armored Soviet T-34 came to the fronts, it was decided to replace short gun with a new long-barreled 75mm cannon Stuk 40 L / 48, which surely hit the Soviet tanks. StuG armor was quite good \u2013 50 mm in a front took a punch at a distance of 1 km. StuG III was very compact in a size and had good mobility.

It was decided to create new Tank Destroyer based on the T-34, driving performance and armor of which were very good. Development of a new machine was conducted at Uralmash factory.\nSu-85 had a new long-barreled 85mm gun, similar to that which will soon be installed at T-34-85. This gun was able to destroy enemy medium tanks at the distance of over a kilometer, and heavy tanks \u2013 at 800 meters to a front plate. The gun was placed in the middle part of the Tanks Destroyer body and had angles of + - 8 degrees. Also the inside size of tanks was nice which allowed good conditions for crew working. Driving characteristics inherited from the T-34-85. Armor (45 mm at the front with big armor slope) provided good protection against German medium tanks. A little later, with the release of the T-34-85, SU-85 was converted under the new 100mm gun. It was a tool for successfully destroying any enemy tanks, including Tiger 2. Also Su-100 had a very low silhouette, which contributed to an excellent disguise. Observation and aiming devices have been improved. SU-100 was easy to maintain.

The development of this Tank Destroyer at first was carried by a Krupp company, then it was given to a Daimler-Benz and at last it was finished by a MIAG company. So, the destiny of Jagdpather was hard. The development has been complicated by the regular air raids allies, constant shortage of necessary parts and confusion in the serial versions of the machine. Jagdpanther took the most actively part in the Ardennes offensive and the Balaton operation.\nhttp://i.piccy.info/i9/d2e68a346dd9f511c77c83d8b77eaf87/1473836361/30639/1063747/XmYA_dzfCU8.jpg\n\nIn general, as a Tank Destroyer Jagdpanthere was great. Maneuverability and speed characteristics were good because of using \u201cPanther\u201d basis. Armor of Jagdpanthere (80 mm in the front with a good armor slope) confidently defended the machine and a crew at the distance of 800 meters from all Soviet tanks. The new 88mm anti-tank gun allowed to destroy the enemy at a distance of 1km. Rate of fire at the same time was very high - 8 rounds per minute. The fighting compartment inside of a car was spacious and was equipped with ventilation, increasing the convenience of the crew working. And don\u2019t forget than Jagdpanther had a low silhouette. The disadvantages were the relatively high cost of the machine (due to the use of scarce materials), unreliability and complexity of the transmission service.

In contrast to the Germans and the Soviets, who had good-armored Tank Destroyers with a powerful anti-tank gun and mediocre mobility, American Tank Destroyers were oriented on a good mobility firstly. M18 was developed for quickly interception of enemy tank formations and the destruction of their flanks. This also caused the weak armor, small caliber of guns and excellent mobility equipment. M18 had been developed by General Motors Buick Division, the cost of one machine was 57,000 dollars. Total it was produced 2507 M18.\nAt first it was planned to put the 37mm gun, but very soon it was decided to replace it by the 57mm British gun. But this was not enough, and in the final version M18 was equipped with a 76mm cannon from Shermans. New Tank Destroyer had a very light weight, had weak armor (20mm in the forehead) and the rotating tower, which was unusual for that time. Suspension provides the convenience of driving on rough terrain; the engine allowed reaching speed up to 45 km per hour. M18 was easy to operate and convenient to use. In general, the machine was ambiguous, absorbing a lot of bold decisions.\nhttp://i.piccy.info/i9/df0129bd789f7923e8f0306e5a8b6520/1473836445/147058/1063747/pxmv2fJDVRs.jpg\n\n>\u041a\u043e\u043d\u0441\u0442\u0440\u0443\u043a\u0446\u0456\u044f

And here are three unexpected benefits I have personally experienced in my own journey living with a degenerating eye condition.\n\n## Improved lateral thinking and innovation\nGrowing up with a vision impairment meant that there were often things that most people took for granted, but which I struggled to do. To do the same things, I needed to come up with creative solutions and alternative ways of doing things. So from a very young age, I learnt to think laterally and developed my problem solving skills. Most people are so use to perceiving the world in a certain way, but when you are stripped of one of your senses, you learn to perceive things in a different way.\n\nhttps://ipfs.pics/ipfs/QmWb5pzYhKKJZ8zmeYqVeV6oNqGi5h7yDEtxBbjwRdTUZ7\n\nWhen I was still living by myself a few years ago, I had the annoying task of having to cook for myself each night. The challenge I faced in the kitchen was not been able to read the labels on various bottles and containers. As a result, I couldn't tell which container was the salt and which one was the sugar, and all the packaging for the herbs looked the same. So how did I manage? Instead of using sight, I used my sense of smell to distinguish between the herbs, and for some ingredients where I couldn't use the sense of smell, I used different containers and labels to help me identify all the different ingredients.\n\nAnd this leads on to the second benefit.\n\n## Improved memory\nPeople who know me well often comment on my ability to remember things. In fact, I've noticed this in many other people I know who also have a vision impairment. I think this is due to the fact that for someone with a vision impairment to thrive in a sighted world, we often need to make extra effort to adapt to our circumstances.\n\nFor example, I remember when I was still in university, I had to do many presentations. For most people, they could refer to speech notes as they are presenting. However, for me, this was not possible, as I couldn't read speech notes no matter how big the font was. Furthermore, as I have some sight, I never needed to learn braille, which meant I couldn't refer to braille notes either. _As a side note, this is why the title of my memoir which I've been posting on Steemit is \"Living in Between Two Worlds\", because I have often found myself being caught between the world of the sighted and the world of the blind, and also between the identity of being Chinese but not fully Chinese, and being Australian but not fully Australian._ As a result, every time I had to do a presentation, I would always remember the entire speech. Over time, this has become second nature to me. I have learnt how to force things into my memory, and be innovative when I need to.\n\n## Resilience\nGrowing up with a vision impairment, I experienced a lot of bullying at school and a lot of hurtful comments and actions from people, sometimes done knowingly and sometimes unknowingly. Sometimes this comes in the form of a patronising comment, and sometimes from a look or stare. The interesting thing with people staring and giving me strange looks is that I can often notice people are doing it to me because I have some peripheral vision, however people generally can't tell I'm looking back at them because it doesn't seem like I'm looking at them. Most of the time however, those hurtful words and actions are done out of ignorance and a lack of understanding, rather then out of malice.\n\n#### But from all these things I've experienced, it has made me a stronger and more resilient person.\nAs a result, whatever unforeseen things I may experience in life, there's not much that can knock me out completely. I have developed the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and stay optimistic, because as they say:\n### What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.\n\nSo I'm thankful to God for the person I have become today. Disability isn't all bad. Without what I have gone through with my vision impairment, I wouldn't be the person I am today, and for these reasons, I am thankful.\n\nTo read more about my story, you can read my short memoir series.

+ "body": ">Today I told my dad the final date of my marriage: October 2nd . Few days ago, as I told him that I was going to get married in a few weeks, he got mad at me. \u201cI was expecting you to get a real job before you got married!\u201d was his main critique. \u201cHow can you get married *now*?\u201d he asked me.\n\nOggi ho detto a mio padre la data definitiva del mio matrimonio: due ottobre. Pochi giorni fa, quando gli ho detto che mi sarei sposato nel giro di poche settimane, si \u00e8 arrabbiato con me. \u201cMi sarei aspettato che ti trovassi un lavoro vero prima di sposarti\u201d \u00e8 stato il suo principale oggetto di critica. \u201cCome puoi sposarti *adesso*?\u201d mi ha chiesto.\n\n>Let me give you some background. I\u2019m 29 years old and I want to do many things in my life. I studied economics, worked for no-profit and academia and I published a book in May on the shifting economic paradigm. I dedicated the last year to this book, spent all the savings I had and by now I have a few weeks of financial autonomy left. Meanwhile I rented a room on Airbnb, learned how to do bracelets and sold them on the Ligurian (North-West Italy) seaside. Simultaneously, I\u2019m working on becoming what I call a cryptofarmer: in fact, my goal is to write and earn cryptocurrencies while living in the countryside in a small house I\u2019m transforming into a farm. I learned how to plant a vegetable garden, how to chop wood and limiting the expenses of food and heating.\nEven if sometimes I\u2019m scared I could not afford a living, I feeI I can make it. We can make it. In fact, few months ago a girl I met last winter in Chile joined me and is providing great help with her skills and work. And I\u2019m going to marry her in a few weeks, as I said.\n\nFacciamo un passo indietro. Ho 29 anni e voglio fare tante cose nella mia vita. Ho studiato economia, lavorato nel no-profit e nel mondo accademico per poi pubblicare, a maggio di quest\u2019anno, un libro sul cambio di paradigma in economia. Ho dedicato l\u2019ultimo anno a questo libro, ho speso tutti i miei risparmi e ho davanti ancora qualche settimana di autonomia finanziaria. Nel frattempo ho affittato una stanza su Airbnb e imparato a fare braccialetti che ho venduto sulla costa ligure. Parallelamente lavoro per diventare quello che chiamo un cryptofarmer; il mio obiettivo \u00e8 infatti quello di scrivere e guadagnare cripto-valute mentre vivo in una piccola casa di campagna che sto trasformando in fattoria. Ho imparato come piantare un orto, spaccare la legna e limitare le spese di cibo e riscaldamento.\nAnche se a volte ho paura di non riuscire a guadagnarmi da vivere, sento che ce la posso fare. Che ce la *possiamo* fare. Qualche mese fa, infatti, una ragazza che ho conosciuto lo scorso inverno in Cile si \u00e8 unita ai miei progetti e mi sta dando un grosso aiuto con le sue capacit\u00e0 e il suo lavoro. E io la sposer\u00f2 in qualche settimana, come dicevo.\n>My father is 69 years old. Oddly enough, he actually left countryside for the city \u2013 a choice diametrically opposite to the one I made \u2013 to become a lawyer and had success by working really hard. As far as I know, he wanted to be a journalist but chose to be a lawyer to get a better salary \u2013 as he got. He wanted me to be a lawyer too, of course, but when I chose to study economics he told me I could become an auditor; those were professions, in his words, that paid good.\n\nMio padre ha 69 anni. E\u2019 curioso come lui lasci\u00f2 la campagna per la citt\u00e0 \u2013 una scelta diametralmente opposta a quella che ho fatto io \u2013 per diventare un avvocato e l\u00ec ha avuto successo lavorando molto. Da quel che so, lui voleva fare il giornalista da giovane, ma poi ha scelto di fare l\u2019avvocato per avere un miglior salario \u2013 come appunto si \u00e8 verificato. Chiaramente voleva che anche io facessi l\u2019avvocato e successivamente, quando io scelsi di studiare economia, mi disse che potevo diventare il revisore contabile; mestieri, questi, che secondo lui erano ben remunerati. \n>Dear dad,\nA couple of years ago, you told that you were eventually glad I didn\u2019t follow your path and became a lawyer. The job had changed too much, you said. Now too many lawyers are fighting one against each other to get the job and clients are not paying for the work you did for them. That\u2019s how you described me your job \u2013 a job that in Italy, for your generation, was a synonym of success. A son who became a lawyer was a dream for the average family.\nWell, I\u2019m going to add a little piece to this picture. In a few decades, the whole profession of lawyer may become obsolete. Do you know that even today you can ask legal question to [Ross](http://www.psfk.com/2015/01/ross-ibm-watson-powered-lawyer-legal-research.html), an IBM powered machine? It will provide you an answer by sifting through thousands of legal documents, statutes and cases - assisting you to get ready for the case by including citations, suggested readings and confidence ratings. \nToday few technologies are ready to disrupt whole sectors of the economy. One of these is Artificial Intelligence that could make your profession obsolete. Another is the blockchain: that one could make the auditor and accountancy profession useless too. Have you ever heard about it? Some say it\u2019s important as the invention of the Internet.\n\nCaro pap\u00e0,\nQualche anno fa mi hai detto che in fin dei conti eri contento che non avessi seguito la tua strada e fossi diventato un avvocato. Il lavoro \u00e8 cambiato troppo, hai detto. Troppi avvocati in conflitto l\u2019uno contro l\u2019altro per accaparrarsi clienti che poi non pagano il lavoro che fai per loro. Cos\u00ec mi hai descritto il tuo lavoro \u2013 un lavoro che in Italia, per la tua generazione, era sinonimo di successo. Un figlio che diventava avvocato era un sogno per la famiglia media.\nBeh, lasciami aggiungere un pezzo a questa storia. In un paio di decadi, la professione stessa dell\u2019avvocato potrebbe diventare obsoleta. Sai che gi\u00e0 oggi puoi chiedere un parere legale a [Ross](http://www.psfk.com/2015/01/ross-ibm-watson-powered-lawyer-legal-research.html), una macchina sviluppata da IBM? Ti restituisce una risposta setacciando migliaia di documenti legali, statuti e casi \u2013 assistendoti a prepararti al caso includendo citazioni, letture consigliate e intervalli di confidenza. Alcune tecnologie sono sul punto di rivoluzionare interi settori dell\u2019economia. Una di queste \u00e8 l\u2019intelligenza artificiale che potrebbe rendere obsoleta la tua professione. Un\u2019altra \u00e8 la blockchain: questa potrebbe rendere inutile la professione del contabile e del revisore. Ne hai mai sentito parlare? Alcuni dicono che \u00e8 importante quanto l\u2019invenzione di Internet.\n>**You should really be glad I didn\u2019t choose your job just because it paid good**. As I was 18 (in 2005) being a lawyer paid good, in a decade it wasn\u2019t the case anymore. **In fact, between 2007 and 2014 the average income reported by Italian lawyers [declined from 51.314 euro to 37.505]( http://www.italiaoggi.it/news/dettaglio_news.asp?id=201603102026358478&chkAgenzie=ITALIAOGGI&titolo=Avvocati,%20redditi%20da%20dimenticare)**. Well, last decade \u2013 it is to be said - was a *century*: while economy collapsed in one of the worst crisis ever, technology produced unparalleled innovations. Before 2005 there was no Youtube. In 2005 there was no smartphone either. No-one can tell what are we going to see in the next decade. Some say there will be some big change in the workplace. In fact, [some researchers at Oxford]( http://www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/downloads/academic/The_Future_of_Employment.pdf) say that by 2035, half of the jobs Americans currently hold will be automatized. **Robots are simply better than men in doing robotic work**. Even the world\u2019s most ancient profession may suffer a strong decline with the development of virtual reality \u2013 this has become the next big thing in adult entertainment.\n\n**Devi essere davvero contento che non abbia scelto il tuo lavoro solo perch\u00e9 era ben remunerato**. Quando ancora io avevo 18 anni (nel 2005) fare l\u2019avvocato era remunerativo, ma nell\u2019arco di un decennio ci\u00f2 non era pi\u00f9 vero. **Tra il 2007 e il 2014 il reddito medio dell\u2019avvocato italiano [\u00e8 sceso da 51.314 euro a 37.505 euro]( http://www.italiaoggi.it/news/dettaglio_news.asp?id=201603102026358478&chkAgenzie=ITALIAOGGI&titolo=Avvocati,%20redditi%20da%20dimenticare)**. L\u2019ultimo decennio \u2013 bisogna riconoscerlo - ha rappresentato un *secolo*: mentre l\u2019economia collassava in una delle peggiori crisi di sempre, la tecnologia produceva innovazioni senza pari. Prima del 2005 non c\u2019era Youtube. Prima del 2005 non c\u2019era nemmeno lo smartphone. Nessuno pu\u00f2 dire cosa vedremo nel prossimo decennio. Molti dicono che ci saranno grossi cambiamenti sul luogo di lavoro. [Alcuni ricercatori di Oxford]( http://www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/downloads/academic/The_Future_of_Employment.pdf) dicono che entro il 2035, il 45% dei lavori attualmente svolti dagli americani verr\u00e0 automatizzato. **I robot svolgono meglio degli uomini i lavori da robot**. Perfino il mestiere pi\u00f9 vecchio del mondo potrebbe risentire di un forte declino a seguito dello sviluppo della realt\u00e0 virtuale \u2013 questa \u00e8 diventata l\u2019ultima novit\u00e0 nel mondo dell\u2019intrattenimento per adulti.\n>Don\u2019t worry, dad, and don\u2019t look at me as someone who is living hand to mouth. Many things are changing in the next years, together with most of the reference points we had. Those jobs who were good, could not be profitable and stable anymore. Most of all, the same idea of stability will change: we\u2019ll have to find stability surfing between waves of change. Choosing a job just because it pays good today, may not be a good strategy. **My generation is challenged to find and develop that personal value, those talents, that no machine could substitute. This is what I\u2019m doing \u2013 soon I\u2019ll write you how**.\n\nPer questo, pap\u00e0, non preoccuparti e non guardarmi come si guarda un figlio che vive di espedienti. Molte cose cambieranno nei prossimi anni, insieme a molti dei punti di riferimento che avevamo. Quei lavori che prima erano buoni, potrebbero non essere pi\u00f9 remunerativi e stabili. Pi\u00f9 di tutto, cambier\u00e0 l\u2019idea di stabilit\u00e0: dovremmo imparare a trovare la stabilit\u00e0 di un surfista a cavallo di ondate di cambiamento. Scegliere un lavoro solo perch\u00e9 paga bene oggi, potrebbe non essere una strategia che paga. **La sfida per la mia generazione \u00e8 di trovare e sviluppare quel valore personale, quei talenti, che nessuna macchina pu\u00f2 sostituire. Questo \u00e8 quello che sto facendo io \u2013 presto ti scriver\u00f2 come**.\n\nhttp://i68.tinypic.com/2hz9lz.jpg \n\n*Me, dad, fianc\u00e9, mum*\n\n***Don't forget to follow @cryptofarmer***\n***a shout out goes to @claudiop63 for assisting the Italian community so don't forget to follow him***",

\n\nHere I am spending the night in the darkness of my bedroom. Dog's snoring right beside me, his head resting on my chest. Feeling like I'm in some prologue of a cyberpunk story. Anyway, surfing on Steemit mobile is actually quite decent, despite the inadequacy of certain types of tables and media not showing up properly on screen.\n\nDecided to write this after going through some dramatic commentaries on Steemit that happened for the past few days. Mostly about ideological disagreements, and especially, overcompensation of posts. While I consider myself pretty critical, I usually opt out of direct, in-your-face type of confrontations. I prefer to plan and pick my own battles, having learned out of experience.\n\nBecause personally, I've never come across any situation that immediately improves itself after insults are thrown around. No one is going to admit wrong right away. Everyone's always right in their own world, and that's particularly true with the presence of an opposing voice. And it doesn't matter how zen one may be. No one's a perfect saint. Everyone has a breaking point. \n\nYup, I've snapped before, more than enough times to know this little fact of life. Nothing good comes out of throwing a fit (well not as much as can be). Sure, our message, our version of truth should be upheld. But there are better ways of fighting the good fight.. maybe like what I'm trying to do with this post right now. So what am I trying to address here?\n\n---------------------------\n# Plan your battles - don't join someone else's!\n
https://s10.postimg.org/ntels66d5/planning.jpg
\nThere was [a post on Steemit](https://steemit.com/anarchy/@kennyskitchen/the-40-anarchists-you-want-to-be-following-on-steemit) a while ago that labelled me an anarchist. Am I? Maybe I am. Sure, I'm against big, centralised governments. I may even detest the inherent thieving practices of big brother. But I'm still running a music event company - there are legal matters that I still need to run by government offices, purely out of safety and security reasons.\n\nYou may argue that it's perverted that I'm using an intrinsically violent agent (namely, The Government and The Police State) to secure the well-being of my business customers. Next I'll ask - can we have a decentralised free market doing music events with all the right securities? That's what my company, [Hybrid Entertainment](https://steemit.com/steemit-marketing/@kevinwong/our-next-dance-music-event-psychedelic-trance-some-steemit-love) partly aims to do. It's a learning process. \n\nFor now, we still need to use the existing structures of Old, Big Government.. while we find ways to transition out of such dependence. Fight too hard and you'll get clamped down, thrown out of the game. You can't do much when you're out of the game, so stay in it! Take the time to plan your battles, dear hot-blooded confrontationists (if that's even a word).\n\nSure, the world needs you to say things as they are. But hearing the painful truth is almost like violence itself. No one likes that, no matter which side of a dispute. Peace also involves peace of mind. It's a much longer game - it comes with the territory. You're already in someone else's fight once you get into war. Only get into war if you're the big guy. The small guy is always the loser - the unwilling pawn. Think about this in scope of what's happening all around the world, even on Steemit.\n\nDon't be a zealot. There are dangers of being too far left, or too far right. Find the middle way. All you need is another perspective. Some people may be asswipes, but goodness is omnipresent if the conditions are right.\n\nAnd that's how you plan your battles - take the time to do it right. \n\nIn perspective of my generally apolitical position on Steemit, I tend to find better ways to contribute instead of lashing out on another user. Sure, I have my dissatisfaction about some author rewards and posting models from time to time. However, I tried putting effort into building better models and figuring out ways to add substantial value into the ecosystem. Eventually, some of us gravitated towards a loose goal of rewarding diversity by combing contents on Steemit on a daily basis.\n\nThere are now epic giant hidden-gem megaposts on Steemit - like this one from [Project Curie](https://steemit.com/@curie) and [Robinhood Whale](https://steemit.com/@robinhoodwhale). Better coverage, better quality, better value - in so many ways. This is the free-market reaction to solo authored hidden-gem posts of early Steemit. No doubt that everything evolves over time. \n\nKnowing that value is subjective, I have always refrained from losing my cool. Even here on Steemit. \n\n**I'm the small fish and I have to plan my battles!**\n\n---------------------------------------\n\n# Don't freaking milk it!\n\n
https://s3.postimg.org/6ne6t272b/milk.jpg
\nThere are big reasons why most of us don't really like governments. Greed and corruption. Needless to say, the crowd easily picks up on this when insubstantial effort is rewarded handsomely. By all means, that's as subjective as can be. What's not (very) subjective, however, is if one continues to milk it, even despite public disapproval. \n\nThis happens all around the world. Don't oversell. You'll lose reputation if you are obviously **milking it**!\n\nSure, you may gain new followers.. newly inspired and freshly impressed. But old eyes grow weary. People are watching, and your social value fluctuates all the time. You can't please everyone, but you can try the **art of not milking the shit out of the system**.\n\nIt's a good business practice. It's a good personal conduct. And it works on Steemit.\n\nThat's a reason why I'm also posting lesser (other than plainly having a huge writer's block, reserving myself from random shitposting). Now I'm only writing when I really think I have something good to add as a post. As I'm partly dependent on Steemit, I've strategized a lil, refraining from appearing to be **milking it**, seeking modes of substantial contribution behind the scenes to compensate for the awesome support that has been given to me on this platform.\n\nIf you are suddenly rewarded thousands for a post - ask yourself. Is that post worth that much? Heck, I don't know if my top philosophical post is worth 4,000 bucks, but I know I've put long hours in it, enough to avoid milking and recycling the same content. Instead, I try to put more effort in other areas of the ecosystem to balance out the lopsided reward.\n\nThe blockchain is transparent. It's easy to find out if you're milking it. To avoid seeming like you're milking it - just be honest and ask yourself the right questions! Then, do the right thing!\n\n**Like life, like Steemit - try to give more than you can take. Don't. Freaking. Milk It.**\n\n----------------------------------\n\n# Take time to build, or take time to exploit?\n
\n\nNaturally, I'd say take time to build. Once you're caught exploiting the system, in life or on Steemit, you're lose reputation whether or not if its digitally measurable. You can create as many accounts as you want and find a million ways to exploit everything, but ask yourself - what are you building?\n\nHere are some tips for maintaining reputation on Steemit:-\n- Steemit's a mutual aid society. While posts can be about anything, note there's a limited amount of funds going around each day. It's obvious that your reputation is at stake if you have somehow managed to acquire good support, but not giving back substantially.\n- Tags are like real estate. Choose appropriately. An example is if you're writing your opinions on something rather meta, I think it's prudent to respect the scientific community. For example in [my article about consciousness](https://steemit.com/consciousness/@kevinwong/let-s-talk-about-consciousness-wtf-is-it), I've deliberately used the ***pseudoscience*** tag, no matter how right I think I could be. I clearly think about such topics often, but I never put myself in research labs knowing about consciousness well enough to indicate that I am the master of that domain.\n- Follow up on your promises. Communicate transparently.\n- Put in more effort, visibly and even behind the scenes when you manage to acquire good payouts.\n- Try to follow others. Curate and also support other members.\n- Plan your battles and don't milk it! And also, celebrity attitudes won't last long here if you're not giving back to the community. @dollarvigilante is doing this right - he's aiding others and even curating frequently on his free time!\n- Again, in general, give more than you can take.\n\n### Reputation is everything - for survival, for change in a social landscape.\n\n*Note: There is some form of censorship of the mind when it comes to chance of interruption from higher powers. It's the same everywhere. You just have to play your cards right, opting for different methods, different approaches. It's not really a systems-problem. It's a people-problem, as always. Never leave an opening for others to destroy your reputation.*\n\n-----------------------------------------------\n

Who Should We Find Responsible For The Subprime Mortgage Lending Crisis?
\n\nI want to preface this article by saying, I\u2019m not 100% sure who we should blame for the Subprime Mortgage Lending Crisis, the lenders or the borrowers which is why I want to attempt to fairly give arguments from both sides. Even today this is a heavily debated topic and I agree with points made by both sides. So I want you to decide as the reader, who you side with, and if you want to post in the comments below. This article is meant to shed light on who we should hold responsible for the Subprime Mortgage Crisis, the lenders or the borrowers, or someone else?\n\nhttp://longislandbankruptcyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/mortgage-bubble-bursting-by-the-sub-prime-mortgage-meltdown.jpg\n\n
The Lender\u2019s Side of The Argument
\n\nThe lender\u2019s side of the argument almost completely revolves around the idea that people need to educate themselves before they go into a bank and take on such a series contract, like a mortgage. Even in many cases where the information was fully available to the borrower, they signed the contract even though they didn\u2019t understand it. If you agree with consumer protection, the lenders should have stopped the transaction from taking place, but many believe that we should be free to make all decisions even bad ones. The truth is that these are companies, however and their only job is to look out for themselves. This lending is an especially weird occurrence because the force which usually stops this kind of behavior from taking place is that it would not be beneficial to the company, but mortgage brokers and the companies lending were making so much money that at the time it seemed like a good idea. \n\nhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/questions-lender.jpg\n\nAnother way the lenders justify their subprime lending practices was that they were getting pressure from higher up in the company to lend as much as possible because there was such a demand for the financial products on the markets. This is the old \u201cI was just following orders\u201d excuse, but there truly was heavy pressure from companies onto the brokers to loan as much as they could, or they would find someone else to do it. At the time most mortgage brokers legitimately didn\u2019t think that they were doing something bad. They didn\u2019t try to tank the system, they truly believed that the booming real estate market would be able to cover any losses if someone foreclosed on a property. We found out that this was a horribly wrong assumption eventually which lead to billions in toxic assets on the bank balance sheet worth nothing. Ultimately if you think that the consumer should have been diligent and did the required research before they took the mortgage contract, you might side with the side of the lenders\n\n
The Borrower\u2019s Side of The Argument
\n\nOn the flip side, the borrower\u2019s side of the argument claims that it is a company\u2019s duty to inform the customer and the government\u2019s duty to provide consumer protection so mortgages that were created with a high chance of failure wouldn\u2019t be possible. Borrowers also claim that many of the brokers specifically targeted low income and uneducated applicants so they could get a larger commission. In addition, the extreme leniency of the various types of mortgage products that were being offered at the time, for example not having to even show any income, should have been against the law. While not all brokers were predatory, there were many that were, which did target the low income and uneducated, but at the same time there were many borrowers who knew they couldn\u2019t afford the payments on the house and figured they would just resell it for profit. Consumer protection is a tricky subject , because at what point does it stop becoming protection and start becoming a barrier to entry. For example up until this year only Americans with an income of 250k + or 1,000,000 in assets (disregarding primary residence) were able to invest in private companies, many hedge funds and other investment vehicles, all because of consumer protection. \n\nhttps://activerain-store.s3.amazonaws.com/image_store/uploads/2/5/4/4/3/ar123584050234452.jpg\n\nMany people say that a fool and his money soon part ways and it\u2019s hard to wonder if people who signed into these mortgages would have lost money elsewhere on credit cards or payday loans. I think that the mortgage prices that were way to complex for anyone to even understand should have never been offered, but is it the government\u2019s place to protect a private entity from not offering them? Theoretically in a free market banks should not have offered the products because they were too risky and would have lost them money, but this force did not prevail. Whether or not you agree with the borrower heavily comes down to what degree you think consumer protection should play on your everyday life and how the government should police products. \n\n
Think of a foggy grey muck that encircles you head to toe. Severe depression strips you from being able to experience any joy in life, even when for all the world it appears you have everything going for you. Watered down commentaries attempt to describe the soul rotting misery of waking up in darkness every day. Who are those who can bolt out of bed ready to face the day with their happy attitudes about life? I don\u2019t know. I\u2019ve never been one. I dread waking up. One of the things really depressed people look forward to is a respite from consciousness. This is why those who suffer tend to sleep so much. It\u2019s escapism. Yet it isn\u2019t, because even in sleep you can be terrorized by your daytime demons. The quality of sleep is not restful \u2013 in fact, rather fitful. This is one reason so many people take mind-numbing tranquilizers to dull their wakeful state just to be able to drift away to somewhere, anywhere else than the dangerous and unchecked arena of the mind.
\n
People experience the tiers of depression's challenges in different ways. It\u2019s not being disappointed or being in a bad mood if something doesn\u2019t pan out in your favor. You chipped you manicure? Bugger. Irritating, yes, but it\u2019s not the end of the world. For a depressed person, something minor (for whatever reason) can hurl you head first into a bottomless void of regret and agony. You associate daily life with walking through a minefield. Danger lurks with every step. That ad for an antidepressant that shows a cartoon figure walking around under her own cloud of rain sums up the feeling quite well (of course it does \u2013 sponsored by The Pharmaceutical Cartel). You NEED this drug to function. That\u2019s another post, and I know far too well how drugs are touted as the magic solution. Not even children are safe from their campaigns.
\n
\n
It\u2019s the ultimate mind-fuck factory, this thought prison that leads you through Dante\u2019s circles of hell as you try to scramble your way out of the snake pit. The thoughts pull you back in by your ankles. Like a horror movie, the entity of depression knows what scares you. It knows what makes you wail in despair. It knows your saddest thoughts and flashes those across the movie screen in your head in incessant reruns. You are a spectator, but unable to avert your eyes.
\n
You have things to do? Most can buck up and get 'er done. A very depressed person knows what must be done yet can\u2019t do it. Cannot. It\u2019s not possible. It has nothing to do with laziness and everything to do with apathy. The effort isn\u2019t worth it. You know you will feel better if such and such gets done. So the obvious solution is to do it. You have errands to run? Get in the car and go. But for a depressed person, the mundane becomes detestable to such an extent that not even the guilt for not doing the things is unable to motivate you enough to accomplish what is impossible in your mind.
\n
\n
Once while touring Alcatraz, I was struck by something the tour guide told us. The island is positioned in just the right way that all the prisoners could smell the Ghirardelli chocolate factory wafting its chocolate scent across the bay, no doubt driving inmates insane. This is much like depression. You are stuck in a jail cell knowing everyone else is living happily while you miss out on what you know (on some level) is a gift \u2013 life itself. You can only observe from afar.
\n
You know those days when you feel like a sloth and nothing gets done? For many depressed people that\u2019s every day. By getting nothing done I don\u2019t mean cleaning out the refrigerator or reading a book your friend needs back. I mean responsibilities you must accept as an adult, as a parent. You can\u2019t function. Your kids are hungry, but you can\u2019t do anything about it because you can\u2019t move. You have an empty stare and wonder if it\u2019s too early for a drink. It\u2019s only one in the afternoon. Can it be justified?
\n
And you can\u2019t stop seeing those stories about the Yulin dog meat festival. This is horrible because an animal suffering is the worst thing in the world to me. Or those commercials by the SPCA. The thoughts hit hard, bating me. \u201cUh oh! She\u2019s making some progress \u2013 what is she sad about? Let\u2019s infect.\u201d Self-sabotage is the name of the game. For a depressed person, thoughts take over and pollute your whole mind.
\n
You hope you will feel better tomorrow, or someday. You keep saying someday. But that wastes away today. You hide from friends and family because the idea of faking a smile is akin to torture. And you think no one cares about your problems. Or they are tired of hearing about them because they are always the same. Your brain is wired differently. Some of the most creative genius comes from a desolate mental state. It can, but only If you can get any mental energy together to be productive.
\n
Your friends email you cures for migraines. You have had to invent numerous excuses that involve having them, because that\u2019s a reasonable excuse to cancel plans. Saying you\u2019re sad or not in the mood will get \u201cI\u2019ll cheer you up\u201d from well-meaning friends and family. But you want to be alone, completely isolated, in bed, with the covers pulled up over your head. And you want to cry. And I don\u2019t mean a few tears. I mean heart-wrenching sobs that no one would want to hear.
\n
You yell at people you love. You cry easily. They can\u2019t help you but they can sure piss you off. And we are pissed at ourselves, because children have needs that must be met -no question about it. And you know are letting them down with your suffering. Another blow. We do not feel sorry for ourselves in the traditional sense. We do feel sorry that we can\u2019t get a grip as we are often told to do. We feel guilty for letting others down who matter as they stand by helpless, completely befuddled about their roles in all of this. They feel responsible You want to convey it\u2019s not them or their fault, but they start to not believe you. It\u2019s no one\u2019s fault. It simply is.
\n
Some days are easier than others. I often do well when the stars align - deceptively so, or maybe not deceptive. Maybe I am getting a handle on this curse. It\u2019s a constant roller coaster of wondering when the happy cart will upturn and everything you manage to put in there (composure, self-esteem, productivity) scatters across the road. And cars are coming, but you have to try to summon up the ability to put them back in and continue on your journey. It\u2019s like you are that one slow car on a hill that everyone zips past because they don\u2019t carry the burden of your load.
\n
Is life a beautiful thing? Yes. It is. Is it filled with sadness? Yes to that too. Can a depressed person overcome depression? I think so. But in order to answer that, you must be willing to look at your origins to discover what might be holding you back.

Drawings and painting \u00a9 Johanna Westerman 2016
I am deeply convinced that the people imprinted on these black-and-white photographs never suspected what will happen to them in the future, whether it is immediate or distant As well as they didn't realized how quickly the years will pass, changing all the world around. So, as you look at their careless faces, you fairly quickly realize that your current situation is not much different.
Everything that happens around us changes the world we are witnessing. We live in an age of technological progress; the advent of the first computers, the Internet, gadgets, social networks, online games, e-commerce, cryptocurrency and, finally, a blockchain social network - the Steemit, which makes our minds work for creation of good content and its curation.
And in 10 years, or maybe much earlier, we will see a completely different picture of reality. Generation Steem is coming. The generation that changed everything around and changed itself as well, in opposite to that generation you run with your eyes, trying to convince its immutability and the impossibility of change. No, this already will be the world of the past.
\n\nBut if we dig deep into the archives of baseball history, we learn that this is actually the best record since the 1890 Brooklyn Bridegrooms, who were 14-4 (.778) in one-run games en route to an overall 86-43 (.667) record and the National League pennant.\n\n**Source / Read More...** sportingnews.com \n\n\n\n

Model of Skeleton hands,without scissors and glue.
In the morning, at 5 am when the moon completes his round, the alarm rings, my deepest sleep I wake up painfully. K\u00e9ops my cat starts singing tour and stops only when he filled his mess tin. Sweety then, the cat of my son jumps on the furniture in the kitchen and also claimed his bowl. Kashmir him not to come after me, until I make him hugs.
\n
\n
\n
\n
A small cup of coffee and I'm up for the day. After my shower, I have to feed the fish pond and two hens, they are waiting for me impatiently for me to release them from their cages.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
6:15, I start my bag on her arm, my water bottle and my biscuit for lunch. On the road I am alone, few vehicles I meet. Great to run your car on a deserted road. In the winter when it snowed, I am the first to make tracks in the whiteness of the snow grows like cotton wool, sometimes, crazy beyond me and skids, it is an adrenaline rush. In summer the sun rises gives the sky a color of red sweetness, yellow, orange. In autumn, the trees begin to change color, it is a season because I love the beauty of trees is unique.
\n
\n
\n
Here I come down the street or is my workplace, hospital, regional hospital, the CHR. Vehicles coming after one another because we start at 7am. The staff is found, speak, tells their evening then everyone goes to the same place: the time clock, control object of our hours worked.
\n
\n
\n
In the ladies locker room, it gets held: white jacket with blue and green patterns representing the logo of the institution, blue pants with various pockets which we do not serve!
\n
\n
\n
We arrive in our service, mine is the neurological rehabilitation service: we give up (or so) of people who have a stroke, an accident with neurological trauma, people who have multiple sclerosis or Guillain barred and other chronic diseases whose name is almost unknown.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
We start our day with a report on each patient last night, we have 20 in service. After beginning the nursing: we make the toilet of the patient who is totally dependent. We get up in the chair. For others, we must educate, continue the actions he has learned with the therapist in the individual care, the patient should regain maximum independence so they can go home and take care only . It's a job that can last from 3 months to 6 months beyond, we can not do anything for them.
\n
\n
\n
Headline in this service is: you come to bed but you leave again walking.
\n
\n
Sometimes, we fail either because the patient does not want a return to autonomy, or because the patient is too ill. We give the same chance to everyone, rich, poor, alcoholic, drug addict, young or old.
\n
\n
The management of a patient goes from shaving the beard of a man to the presentation on the toilet, the room arrangement the carefully tended beds.
\n
\n
Lunch arrived around 8:30 am, few patient is in the dining hall for breakfast, other unfinished eat in bed Logistical assistance serves meals that are different if the patient is diabetic, diet, dieters, old, or in solid supply resumption. You should know that when the patient has had a stroke, a stroke, swallowing is absent, which means that if the patient eats a sandwich, but he swallows the bread goes in the bronchial tubes and not in the stomach, giving a false swallowing, bronchi become infected and it's a disaster. So this patient who made false swallowing should eat while cream consistency and drink thickened liquid. Which is not very good but I admit it must go through these stages in order to re-eat a day normally.
\n
\n
Physiotherapists arrive at 9am and leave a 17h, occupational therapists also. There is also a neuropsychologist, a speech therapist and all do work that allows the patient to regain maximum independence, which means that the patient all day is busy. Visitors can come between 14:30 and 19:30.
\n
\n
After lunch, we continue our work, when all is well, we finish around 10:30 or 11am but sometimes it is noon we are still in the rooms.
\n
\n
In terms of handling, the entry of the patient, it is usually in bed or in a wheelchair with a right hemiplegia or left, some have forgotten that they had half a disabled body, so it must withstand and no wear and show him how to do with one leg to go from wheelchair to bed and vice versa. Others are completely invalid, they know not move neither arms nor legs, and for those, or we wear them either we lift them with a forklift.
\n
\n
During dinner, we feed the disabled and we encode our care in the computer.
\n
\n
Around 13h, we are a few naps after going on the toilet. Sometimes we have a problem in the pants, oops! When everyone is changed to bed, we have a service change ratio and the time, the hour of the end of our service is lagging. At 14h is the start of the morning shift. For my part, I take a good shower and I take the way home or waiting for my cats and my dog makes me a big party.
\n
\n
We must not believe that the nursing profession is simple, each service is different and you can not compare the care of each other.
\n
\n
I hope I have not bothered you with this long text, I wish you a good day to you all.
I haven't stopped and taken a picture of the beauty around me in a long time. It's funny how we can get so caught up in work and the business of a crazy life and miss the simply beauty along the way. Sometime you've just got to stop and smell the roses; and while you're there, take a picture!
\n
\n
These aren't roses, I know: they're wild flowers. They don't get the nurture and care that roses do, and yet they are provided for and they bloom into beautiful blossoms in their own time. They have a harder life than others, and that's how we humans are as well. Some of us were well taken care of growing up and were treated like roses, while others were left in the field to grow up alone and without the love and care we should have had. But we are all beautiful in our own ways and if we survive long enough, we will blossom into something spectacular.
\n
\n
Colorado mountain rivers
\n
When the snow on the tops of the mountains melt, it feed the rushing rivers that carve their way down the mountainside. The climbing is excellent, the whether and the views are truly gorgeous, but something about the rivers rushing through the mountains draws you in. There is a memorization about the brave rivers unafraid of the mountains and simply rushing on by recklessly.
\n
\n
Mississippi at sunset
\n
Sometimes the world just slows down and magic happens. This was one of those times. On the night before my sister's wedding in Tupelo, Mississippi the sky exploded in color. What a calm reassurance before a monumental event: the approval stamp of God upon the sanction of their marriage.

Hundreds of years old Indian hieroglyphs in Arizona
\n
This was an incredible hike in the Arizona mountain ranges to discover a place where the Apache Indians, or perhaps some other tribe had lived hundreds of years ago!
\n
\n
Uganda, Africa at twilight, from a moving bus
\n
Africa is always an adventure, but in 2015 we took a safari on the northern rim and caught this shot on the way back to the lodge. I love how the beauty of the world is unique in its diversity from place to place, even across the Atlantic.
\n
\n
This is one of my favorite shots. I don't remember where I took it or when, but the colors, the bliss, the peacefulness of this field of flowers was stunning. I'm glad I was able to capture an image of its beauty to remember it by. And to think, all of this beauty was made by God in a second! His power to create a world is amazing and perfect in every way. We get to see His marvelous creation every day!

Russian Roulette - A Memoir of my Two Years in Moscow - Part 2 - Under the Table Tactics
\n
In this part of my memoir I am going to attempt to describe the dark side of Moscow. All stories depicted here either happened directly to people I knew, or were described to me as a it's-russia-get-used-to-it anecdote. \nYes, I will be talking about corruption and paying people under the table for things but bear in mind that even though it seems like a common practice definitely not all people do that and not all people experience the phenomenon.
\n
A ROUTINE POLICE CHECK
\n
It is said that it is extremely wise to keep 2k-5k Rubles (about 28-68 Euro, 30-77 Dollars, 23-58 Pounds) in your registration papers at all times. They tend to disappear when you get your documents back from the officer... If one does not have such loose change, the guy tends to make one's life difficult. \"You were speeding\", \"You didn't stop at the STOP sign\", \"You're light is out\" etc. Driving is another interesting phenomenon in Moscow. You might think that since the metro is so packed, the streets will be empty. On the contrary, but I will not get into that right now as that makes a completely different post... However, what I will tell you is how one of my students passed her driving exam, which leads us to...
\n
PAYING TO PASS AN EXAM
\n
After her first failed attempt, my student looked at her instructor/examiner and asked: \"Could you please tell me what I did wrong, so I can work on it in the future?\" He stared back at her surprised and announced: \"Well, you didn't pay me extra, what do you expect?!\" At that point even I was shocked - \"So people openly tell you they want money?!\" \"Get used to it Kasia, It's Russia....\" \nNeedless to say, she was forced to pay the second time around and surprise, surprise, she passed.... \n \nI taught English in a company. I came one week, and saw that everyone was kind of in a rush and slightly agitated. I asked what the problem was and they said they were waiting for an audit. I remember wishing them good luck... One lady looked at me and smiled \"We paid the guys to look the other way, it will be fine!\" I didn't even bother to comment as I had aleady known there was no point...
\n
GETTING INTO A PRIVATE EVENT
\n
It was the three of us - my BF, his friend and I. We wanted to do some clubbing and the friend decided we should go to a very trendy bar in the heart of Moscow. He had a loyalty card there and was well known among the bouncers. We didn't really look the part, but a hefty fee paid for each of us (by the friend) was enough to let us in...
\n
That was a minor party. Let's talk about the big stuff, involving bigger money! \nIf you know someone, who knows someone, who knows someone you might be able to (legally) attend the dress rehearsal of the famous Victory Parade in May (the 9th to be exact). It costs about 10k (137 Euro, 116 Pounds , 153 Dollars) Watch fragments of the video below to see the magnitude of what I am talking about.
\n
The whole thing is long, play with it a little bit. The good stuff starts at about 40 minutes. Source
\n
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EI3FYynz-Q
\n
To enter the actual parade however, you need to be a prominent member of the society (e.g. ex-military) or someone famous or filthy rich :)
\n
The event itself is quite impressive and for soldiers taking part in the march it is an honor among honors. \nWe had the privilege of living 15 minutes on foot from the Red Square so we saw all the preparations and marches right outside our windows (till 11pm at night...)
\n
\n
PS. I am aware that my portrayal of Moscow might seem bleak and depressing. Believe me, it was not. I;m simply trying to describe the juicy bits, the interesting stuff :) My next post will be more optimistic as I will be talking about sports, parks an recreations :)

+ "body": "## In this episode, a hot Aedapt girl helps Jack escape Killer giant Cockroaches! ##\n\n**Jake was peering through cracks between the plaster laths back into the room where they guard stood.** \n\n\n***Missed an episode? Great more great reading for you [on my blog](https://steemit.com/@markrmorrisjr)! Be sure to follow me for awesome daily updates in your feed and leave me comments. I love comments!***\n\n\u201cNo, we\u2019re not that smart when we\u2019re under. We can really only do what we hear them telling us to do.\u201d Jake whispered, calmly as the big guard moved within inches of the wall, snorting. The guard turned, blasted a hole in the ceiling with his gun and charged back into the hall. \n\n*They heard him blasting the door of the next room open.*\n\n\u201cWe can\u2019t stay here. I\u2019m guessing you\u2019ve got this one on a signal blocker and there\u2019s not much time.\u201d \n\nThe girl turned and ran to a corner, where an iron hand rail rose up out of the floor in a curve. She disappeared through the floor and as Jack followed, he found a narrow, spiraling stair that led below. \n\nHe lost his footing and slid down the stairs, narrowly missing the girl. She stood in the room below, with ear to the door that led into the hall.\n\n\n\n*Jake followed close behind. The girl with the violet eyes opened the door and stepped out into the hall with the awakened Nosher right behind her and Jack bringing up the rear. Jack had no idea what to do next, but the girl seemed to be in her element, and willing to help.*\n\n**Hopefully, she was not leading them into more danger.** \n\nHe followed her past one door, and into the darkened room where they had first started. It was empty, which could only mean one thing. The Noshers who had recently occupied it were upstairs right now with the ugly guard. They were looking for Jack and the others and would soon head back down.\n\n\u201cShouldn\u2019t we just get out of here?\u201d Jack said. He stood with his back to the wall and the door opened a crack so that one eye could see down the hall toward the upper stairs.\n\n\u201cNot without these,\u201d the girl walked to where the guard had been and pointed up at the weapons, suspended above. She ran a hand along the doorframe, \u201cIt ought to be along here somewhere.\u201d She said.\n\n**\u201cWhat is?\u201d Jack hissed, shifting as her body pressed against his.** \n\nShe ran her hand along the top of the doorframe. He froze; she smelled good. It had been a long time since a girl had gotten this close to him, junior prom, in fact. He did not have a lot of time for dating with his work schedule. \n\n*To top it off, the smell of burnt fries that clung to him even after an hour in the shower was hardly an aphrodisiac.*\n\nThe girl put one hand on his chest and stood on tiptoe, pressing tight against him. \u201cOh, don\u2019t kid yourself; you just happened to be in my way.\u201d She laughed, scornfully, and pressed a hidden button at the top right corner of the door. Weapons rained down with a crash, and she quickly chose two handguns, handing one to Jack. \n\nShe pressed the button again, and the remaining weapons zipped back up into position. Jack had to grip the gun in his hand firmly to keep it from joining them.\n\n\n\n**\u201cElectro magnet,\u201d she said and opened the door, moving out, weapon first.**\n\n\u201cI knew that,\u201d Jack said. He flattened himself against the hallway wall, like a TV detective. The magnet had occurred to him, but in his addled state, he had not really grasped the concept. Mostly he just did not like the idea of her being smarter than he was. \n\n\u201cKeep up\u201d he hissed to Jake, who had managed to grab a revolver.\nThe three moved quickly down the hall and turned toward the front door. The two roaches Jack had seen earlier, peered out from either side. \n\n**They had weapons leveled in his direction.**\n\n*The girl crouched and moved forward as if she were still a Nosher. It worked. Jack followed suit, and Jake did his best. His human consciousness was getting stronger by the minute.* \n\nHe had even started getting color back in his cheeks, and Jack was beginning to notice that the man seemed oddly familiar, the more human he became. \u201cCould be a side effect of this Nosher thinking,\" he guessed.\n\n\u201cThey're right behind us,\u201d the girl hissed to one of the roaches. \u201cBlast the next thing that comes down those stairs, you got me?\u201d \n\n**The bug clicked and hissed.** \n\n*Jack assumed it was a yes, because the two giant insects moved in and took up positions on either side of the hall.*\n\nJack bolted out the door and was relieved to see the Rabbit zip up just in time. Phineas sat behind the wheel, and the Things were nowhere in sight. Behind them, they heard the roaches open fire, and then a huge blast echoed down the hall. \n\n\n\nA gust of wind barreled out the door, raining cockroach guts over the three escaping figures. Jake stumbled, and Jack picked him up and shoved him into the back seat of the Rabbit.\n\nHe turned back to let the girl in, but she was gone. Phineas stood up on the running board, slapping the roof of the vehicle furiously. \u201cGet in the car! Let\u2019s go man!\u201d\n\n*By the time Jack had slid into the passenger seat, Phineas had the Rabbit patching out. They were up to top speed in a matter of seconds.*\n\n**\u201cFind a me a safe dime!\u201d Phineas yelled, standing as he worked the pedals and tried to see over the steering wheel at the same time.**\n\n\u201cWhat?\u201d Jack yelled over the whine of the engine.\n\n\u201cDime, a dimension, get us out of here.\u201d Phineas pleaded.\n\nJack opened the glove compartment and fiddled with the controls, but nothing happened.\n\n**\u201cDamn, guess I have to do everything, Phineas grumbled, \u201chere, take the wheel.\u201d** \n\n*The Leprechaun ducked under Jack\u2019s arms as he grabbed the steering wheel from his position in the passenger\u2019s seat.* \n\nPhineas leaned across the stick shift, his feet working the pedals as he started manipulating the glovebox controls. Jack\u2019s view through the windshield changed every few seconds. It was making steering from the passenger\u2019s seat even more of a challenge.\n\n*Meanwhile, Jake hunkered down in the back seat. From where Jack sat, he was not looking so good. He wondered how much time they had left.*\n\nJack swerved to miss a slow-moving vehicle that had just appeared as they shifted dimensions. Finally, Phineas settled for one that put them on a narrow two-lane country road. \n\nThe town disappeared, replaced by rows of fences. Phineas braked and turned off onto the shoulder of the road, rolling to a stop.\n\nJack\u2019s heartbeat slowly returned to normal. Meanwhile, Jake sounded like he was winding up in the back seat, his voice rolling into a high-pitched whine, perforated with short puffs of breath, like a woman in labor on a late-night sitcom.\n\n**\u201cYou okay, back there?\u201d Jack asked, climbing out onto the shoulder.** \n\nJake launched himself out of the back seat, landed face down in a shallow ditch, and promptly lost the entire contents of his stomach in a single \n\n\u201cralph\u201d.\n--------\n\nJack turned away, pulling his elbow up over his nose to avoid the horrendous smell of vomit. Meanwhile, Phineas dove around the hood of the car and into the ditch, pawing through the puke as if he was panning for gold. \n\n*A few seconds later, he came up for air, triumphantly holding the thumb drive.*\n\nHe stood, wiping his hands on Jake\u2019s jacket, and then looked at his watch. \u201cIt\u2019s past time,\u201d He said, pulling the transmitter from the man\u2019s neck. Jake lolled into the ditch; his eyes fluttered, and Phineas shoved Jack toward the driver\u2019s seat.\n\n**\u201cLet\u2019s go. We don\u2019t want to be here when they come to collect him.\u201d He said, climbing into the passenger\u2019s seat.**\n\n***Will Jake see the girl again? What about his Nosher friend, what becomes of him? Will they ever get the smell out of the ALICE? Stay tuned!***\n\n## Look for the upvote button below. If you liked the post, upvote and share!

I\u2019m as surprised as anyone to be saying this but holy shit, these vape trick are really impressive.Yes, vaping still makes most people look like an extra who just stepped off the set of Blade Runner. But god dammit, King Titus is doing some stuff with smoke in this video that doesn\u2019t seem physically possible.How is he moving smoke rings through the air without breaking them? Let\u2019s just soak that in for a hot second.
\n\nBefore we go into strategies, I have to explain more thoroughly what relationship I was talking about in the past article.\n\nSo we know that the Oil is denominated by the US Dollar, and we know that a cheap Oil is good for the US Economy, but I wasn't very precise here, this is not entirely true, there is something more here.\n\nFirst of all the commodity market is the only thing that keeps the US Dollar stable, since the Nixon lifting of the Gold standard. The USD is printed at will and the commodities are the only thing that give it some residual value.\n\nSo the commodity market has to be as liquid as possible in order to keep the USD stable, because every ounce of Gold, gram of grain or drop of Oil bought gives value to the USD, because it goes through the USD market.\n\nBut also the commodity market cannot be high in price, because that is bad for the USD. So you have to have a very liquid commodity market, but one that has low price. It sounds very contradictory (the velocity of money theory forbids this), so how you do you achieve this?\n\nWith a Paper Ponzi Scheme: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_certificate\n\nBy issuing commodities on paper, that are not backed by real commodities, or in other words extremely leveraged instruments. You can read more about this popular scam here:\n\n
\n\nNow I am not sure if the same phenomena is happening to Oil as well, but it could be possible. The entire commodity market is undervalued while derivatives and over-leveraged scams are the popular choice of investment for investors.\n\nSo if this is true, then Oil, and the whole commodity market would be into a bullish run possibly. But what about the USD? Yes, the USD itself is in trouble too. The US national debt and outstanding liabilities are too big, and I think the FED will just do QE any minute now, printing up Dollars and perhaps pumping up the commodity market too.\n\nAlright so now it is very confusing, in the past article I established a bearish trend, and now I am saying a bullish scenario could happen? So which one is it. Well let's take them 1 by 1:\n\n* Venezuela economic collapse and Middle East wars = **Bullish**\n* Big Oil price not good for US so they will suppress it with any tool available = `Bearish`\n* OPEC increased Oil production together with [Iran's lifted embargo](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/08/world/middleeast/embargo-lifted-iranian-Oil-reaches-europe.html) = `Bearish` \n* Russia building Oil pipeline in South Europe = `Bearish`\n* China investing in Africa and importing Oil = **Bullish** (since the growing Chinese economy is a big Oil demand)\n* Rising Green Energy markets = `Bearish`\n* Paper ponzi scheme could collapse anytime = **Bullish**\n* New rounds of quantitative easing to erode global debts = **Bullish**\n\nSo it looks to me like a whipsaw, again it could be quantified to have more accurate numbers, but it looks like the risk is big in the market. I would certainly not go long or short on it, since it's pretty unpredictable based on these macroeconomic trends. Whatever monopoly controls the price of Oil has made sure to make the price unpredictable, so that people will be wiped out on both sides.\n\nSo then how to trade this, if long and short positions are too risky, what to do?\n\n----------------------\n \n
\n\nIf long and short positions are too risky, then hedging is the only strategy left in my opinion. I would not trade Oil naked, but if we hedge it with the right instrument, it could be profitable.\n\n
\n\nBut what to hedge, what pairs to hedge and how? Well there are many combinations, and you have to find the pairs that will make you money nontheless.\n\nBut let's cut the crap, I have found a setup that is ultra profitable, and I will share it with you, in exchange you can donate me some SBD and upvote my post and follow me, that is the least you can do for showing you this ultra profitable trading strategy.\n\nSo here are the pairs:\n* Oil / USD\n* XAU / USD\n* USD / JPY\n* DJI / USD\n\nWe will construct our `artificial index` from these, I will call it `ProfitGenerator`:\n\n
\n\nThis is how `ProfitGenerator` looks like, it is really a @profitgenerator, going up and up since 2009. The formula is the following:\n`BUY Oil / USD`\n`SELL XAU / USD`\n`SELL USD / JPY`\n`BUY DJI / USD`\n\nSo basically by buying the DOW 30 and Oil, and selling Gold and the USD/JPY, we get this artificial index that always makes our profits go up since 2009. Of course it has dips and volatility, but the trend line looks to go up:\n\n
\n\nI have extrapolated it linearly in the future, and it could be a profitable investment.Looks like easy money to me, I might check it out as well, and look for even better hedging strategies.\n\n---------------------------\n\nBasically this is how I would trade Oil at the moment, not naked, but put inside this nice hedging strategy. So if you decide to try it out, you should reward me after you made some profits!\n\n\n---------------------------\n\n*Data sources: http://www.investing.com*\n\n***Disclaimer: The information provided on this page might be incorrect.

+ "body": "[](https://postimg.org/image/5bg38xjjr/)\n\nThe day I went to prison I published an article Bitcoin for Prison. While I didn't get to read or see the article until someone mailed me a physical copy, I found out that my article had started a number of discussions and follow-on commentary.\n\nDuring my stay at Lewisburg Federal Prison Camp I observed many economic theories put into effect by inmates and the prison administration, including Gresham's law, hyperinflation, currency exchange, and others.\n\nThere are two markets in prison, the \"Administration Run Market\" (ARM) and the \"Inmate Run Market\" (IRM). \n\nFor the ARM, family and friends can add money to your account through Western Union, MoneyGram, or mailing a check. These funds get added to your account fairly quickly and can be used almost immediately, however with a strict spending limit. You get 300 minutes of phone use per month for about $70, and email costs about $0.05 a minute and is only available at specific times to specific people. Once a week you can shop in the commissary with a $360 a month spending limit. Further, certain products have limits of how much you can buy, for example the Mackerel (described below). Alternatively, the IRM is where you can buy sandwiches, wraps, pizzas, Italian ices, hire a personal trainer, get a haircut, pay someone to clean your cube, repair a watch, even inmate run caterers for your birthday or going home party. Additionally there were inmate run 'stores' which sold commissary items at a markup since you could only commissary shop once a week.\n\n[](https://postimg.org/image/iu6qq6eb9/)\n\nThe Mackerel (meaning literal packets of fish) is one of the competing currencies in the IRM. It has utility by being one of the best sources of protein on the compound. You can save it for a long time, the shelf life is a few years. The price is relatively the same across all prisons in the country, so even if you transfer prisons your property comes with you, including your Mackerel which is worth the same somewhere else. Unlike tunafish, chicken packets and protein bars, more people eat Mackerel. Those other food items can be used as currency as well, for example the guy who fixes your watch may only accept protein bars because he hates fish. There was even a form of digital currency being used, which I will discuss in another post.\n\n[](https://postimg.org/image/nfj3tkh87/)\n\nUtility and medium of exchange give it some value but what about scarcity ? If there is a virtually unlimited amount of Mackerel in the IRM, just like the Federal Reserve printing money, there is no scarcity and hyperinflation can occure if it is debased. \n\nUsing a simple equation, 467 (Number of Inmates) * 14 (Maximum Quantity Allowed to Purchase Per Inmate) * 52 (weeks, assuming every inmate buys the maximum mount of Mackerel every week)\n\nSo if in 2015 we assume that the Supply and Velocity grows at the exact same rate with the Price Level and Transactions unchanging, the amount of Mackerel would essentially double on an even inflation rate. This does not factor in the 3 year shelf life, where expired Mackerel becomes a secondary currency. I will discuss in my next post. \n\nI like to believe that the value of money is determined also psychological factors, like a commodity and not only by mechanical or mathematical factors. In prison many of these psychological factors come into play.\n\n[](https://postimg.org/image/ceiwrfinr/)\n\nMost people use Mackerel as a day-to-day currency for normal transactions, but for reasons I will explain in my next post, they are not the best long term store of value which is important for a currency. For longer term store of value, many inmates use stamps. Stamps have a set rate by the United States Postal Service and have similar characteristics as Mackerel aside for being edible. However, with the introduction of email on the compound many people stopped writing letters as email is cheaper and faster therefore reducing stamps ability to be a transactional currency as a majority of the inmates have no use for them. As a store of value they still hold weight because they are small and easy to store large amounts, while Mackerel is not.\n\nThe biggest value stamps have is that they can be mailed home and your family can redeem them for dollars as the local post office, but that feature can be stopped by better mail screening and overnight the stamp could lose its store of value utility. \n\nIn my next post I will discuss how currency exchangers work, what happens when the prison administration purposely floods the market, and how a secondary currency was created out of expired Mackerel called \u201cMoney Maks\u201d",

I don't know about you, but one of my favorite parts of eating sushi is the pickled ginger. Today, I stopped by the store to pick up some pickled ginger to go with the sushi I was making for lunch, but I was totally bummed that they didn't have any.
\n
So I went home and did what I do a lot...I improvised. Remembering the bag of whole, unpeeled ginger I had thrown in the freezer a while back, I got it out. Turns out, you can make great pickled ginger at home, and it's super easy!
\n
Recipe:
\n
1/4 cup peeled, thinly sliced ginger
\n
1/4 cup seasoned sushi vinegar
\n
1 tablespoon ginger
\n
Put all the ingredients in a small seal-able container and let set in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
\n
I love to eat this with a simple tempura shrimp roll using 1 sheet of nori, 1/2 cup sushi rice, and tempura shrimp.
\n
YUM!

It\u2019s no secret anymore that many of these concoctions are \nloaded with carcinogens that damage the neurological, reproductive, and hormonal systems.\n\n For example fluoride is a substance found in most drinking water that to me and many doctors alike would say is unethical.\n \nFluoride is not an essential nutrient. No disease, not even tooth decay, is caused by a \u201cfluoride deficiency.\u201d Not a single biological process has been shown to require fluoride. On the contrary there is extensive evidence that fluoride can interfere with many important biological processes. Fluoride interferes with numerous enzymes. In combination with aluminum, fluoride interferes with G-proteins. Such interactions give aluminum-fluoride complexes the potential to interfere with signals from growth factors, hormones and neurotransmitters. More and more studies indicate that fluoride can interfere with biochemistry in fundamental ways.\n\nFluoride may damage the brain. According to the National Research Council, \u201cit is apparent that fluorides have the ability to interfere with the functions of the brain.\u201d In a review of the literature commissioned by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), fluoride has been listed among about 100 chemicals for which there is \u201csubstantial evidence of developmental neurotoxicity.\u201d Animal experiments show that fluoride accumulates in the brain and alters mental behavior in a manner consistent with a neurotoxic agent. In total, there have now been over 100 animal experiments showing that fluoride can damage the brain and impact learning and behavior. According to fluoridation proponents, these animal studies can be ignored because high doses were used. However, it is important to note that rats generally require five times more fluoride to reach the same plasma levels in humans. Further, one animal experiment found effects at remarkably low doses. In this study, rats fed for one year with 1 ppm fluoride in their water (the same level used in fluoridation programs), using either sodium fluoride or aluminum fluoride, had morphological changes to their kidneys and brains, an increased uptake of aluminum in the brain, and the formation of beta-amyloid deposits which are associated with Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Other animal studies have found effects on the brain at water fluoride levels as low as 5 ppm.\n\nWhile fluoridation may not be the greatest environmental health threat, it is one of the easiest to end. \nMany People are aware of these issues and today there are more alternative options than ever before.\n\nwaterliberty.com is one site I've came across with products and tips for a healthier lifestyle. \n\nTo find more info on fluoride this is a good site: fluoridealert.org/articles/50-reasons/",

+ "body": "I did a few of these a while back, I was experimenting with the technique. It was fun and I might well do some more, especially if there's an audience for them\n\nThe basic technique is to first to take a video clip and split it into a number of frames. I expect you can do this easily in Photoshop or something, but I'm a command line kind of guy so I used ffmpeg and ImageMagick - I learned a lot from reading [this post about it](\"https://room208.org/blog/posts/48793543478.html\"). I go for things that break down into about 12-24 frames because at 24 fps you're going to need 12 to get a half second loop.\n\nThen you load up each frame in your favourite graphics editor - I use GIMP because I'm cheap. For each frame, you create a new transparent layer and trace over the bits of the frame that you want to replicate. There's a bit of artistic choice in here about how much detail you want to include and how much colour filling you'll do. But the most basic thing is to create a simplified line drawing by running the brush over the key elements.\n\nSo for this one of Johnny Rotten, I only took twelve frames from the beginning and only traced his face and the mic and filled in his hair with an approximation of it's actual colour!\n\n\n\nIf you give your transparent layer a white background you've then got a finished frame for your clip. So export it and give it a number so that you know which order it goes in. Again, Photoshop and GIMP probably have this built in, but I'm awkward that way and like to make things as close to \"by hand\" as I can. This is also much slower, but it does feel like you've made something rather than just knowing which buttons to press.\n\nYou then sew the frames back up into a GIF file using ImageMagick's convert command - check out that [blog post again](\"https://room208.org/blog/posts/48793543478.html\") for the deep dive details.\n\nAlternatively you can take a still image and just trace it several times. That's what I did with this one of Louis Armstrong. Four frames, each slightly different from the others, when animated give it this jiggly quality as if he is playing.\n\n\n\nI'd love to see what other people make of this technique. Show me your work too!",

It has been the battle ground for many groups of people. One group of people though have had a rather large voice in it, those being the deeply religious and gullible. \n\nhttps://pixabay.com/static/uploads/photo/2016/08/20/09/46/magnifying-glass-1607160_960_720.jpg\n\nConservapedia is a encyclopedia type website tasked with presenting the other side of the story. They have been on the forefront of the age of the Earth dispute for some time. Their motto is, \"The trustworthy encyclopedia\" but is this really true to any extent? Lets look at their page on the age of the Earth, http://www.conservapedia.com/Age_of_the_Earth\n\n### They claim is that the earth is about 6,000 years old.\n\nThe first thing that they claim is that the earth is about 6,000 years old. They say that historical and much scientific evidence point to that age strongly. One example being that dating substances through radioactive decay is not a valid because the assumption that radioactive decay is constant is wrong. This is just blatantly incorrect. The claim that it is an assumption is really facts backed with testing at least to a limited degree of accuracy. Even with rigorous testing to alter the decay rates of elements no substantial change has ever been detected. Even in the Oklo reactor which was a natural nuclear fission reactor that was active for a few hundred thousand years has had no change on the Sommerfeld's constant and neutron capture for almost 2 billion years.\n\n\n### Conclusion\n\nConservapedia makes frequent references archaic texts that have no solid facts backing any of their claims. Their delusional claims take into account little if not any real world facts. They present biased and fudged data as reliable information for profound question and answered. I conclusion they are so detached reality that I am surprised that anybody would take them seriously, and the fact that they are even able to upkeep a website.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n### Sources:\nwww.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CF/CF210.html\npixabay.com/static/uploads/photo/2016/08/20/09/46/magnifying-glass-1607160_960_720.jpg\neoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/57000/57723/globe_west_2048.jpg",

Hello, my friends! If you are tired of plain pancakes I advise you to get some work done and you'll get a very delicious pie and a nice dessert for tea time.
Put a row of cherries on one edge of a pancake and roll. Put those rolls on a plate and cream them with the cream we've made before. Then make one more layer of pancake rolls and so on, making a pyramid.

I will give you some graph and explanation. Solutions like ICONOMI are very popular in old economy people want be rich and wanted get more profit so they tried give money to people who know more about trading. Found management platforms preforms much better than average investors. Big guys just want invest not day trading. In crypto ICOMI will be 1st such project - such needed project.\n\nNow true facts and everything that I show you, is now publicly available on web. Graphs taken from coinmarketcap.com are showing us, what is going on cryptocurrency markets right now:\n \n \n \n\nYou see on won eyes that: Bitcoin is loosing over time market share to other alt coins. There is many multiple reasons for that. Without ICONOMI getting on cryptocurrency board for new investors will be VERY hard. \nThat is:\n \n- choose right one coin. \n- skip scams \n- buy valuable coins \n- crypto markets are getting bigger and bigger all time, there is about over 700coins tradable now\n\n\nICONOMI will be platform that for **every investor looking for big profits**. \nICONOMI will give us 2 founds:\n\n- **The ICONOMI.INDEX FUND** - a \"Passive\" - Coin Traded Fund (CTF). This fund operates on special rules, variables that manage the fund through automation.

This fund will be invitation only available. If you invest in ICO you will get you invitation for free. I bet is worth its price. Those found will be carefully managed by ICONOMI experts and will provide best profits available.\n\nGraphs shows that volume of alt coins is rising heavily and will move up. Without ICONOMI founds many investors will probably lose cash on market, while rypto currency market will rise as whole. **If buy some ICO shares you will get dividends forever as share holder.**\n Soon real professional traders will come to cryptocurrency and you as investor in order to get big profits will have to use service of ICONOMI. \n\nPersonally I have invested in ICO and believe that **ICONOMI is future of crypto trading**.

Model of Skeleton hands,without scissors and glue.
In the morning, at 5 am when the moon completes his round, the alarm rings, my deepest sleep I wake up painfully. K\u00e9ops my cat starts singing tour and stops only when he filled his mess tin. Sweety then, the cat of my son jumps on the furniture in the kitchen and also claimed his bowl. Kashmir him not to come after me, until I make him hugs.
\n
\n
\n
\n
A small cup of coffee and I'm up for the day. After my shower, I have to feed the fish pond and two hens, they are waiting for me impatiently for me to release them from their cages.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
6:15, I start my bag on her arm, my water bottle and my biscuit for lunch. On the road I am alone, few vehicles I meet. Great to run your car on a deserted road. In the winter when it snowed, I am the first to make tracks in the whiteness of the snow grows like cotton wool, sometimes, crazy beyond me and skids, it is an adrenaline rush. In summer the sun rises gives the sky a color of red sweetness, yellow, orange. In autumn, the trees begin to change color, it is a season because I love the beauty of trees is unique.
\n
\n
\n
Here I come down the street or is my workplace, hospital, regional hospital, the CHR. Vehicles coming after one another because we start at 7am. The staff is found, speak, tells their evening then everyone goes to the same place: the time clock, control object of our hours worked.
\n
\n
\n
In the ladies locker room, it gets held: white jacket with blue and green patterns representing the logo of the institution, blue pants with various pockets which we do not serve!
\n
\n
\n
We arrive in our service, mine is the neurological rehabilitation service: we give up (or so) of people who have a stroke, an accident with neurological trauma, people who have multiple sclerosis or Guillain barred and other chronic diseases whose name is almost unknown.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
We start our day with a report on each patient last night, we have 20 in service. After beginning the nursing: we make the toilet of the patient who is totally dependent. We get up in the chair. For others, we must educate, continue the actions he has learned with the therapist in the individual care, the patient should regain maximum independence so they can go home and take care only . It's a job that can last from 3 months to 6 months beyond, we can not do anything for them.
\n
\n
\n
Headline in this service is: you come to bed but you leave again walking.
\n
\n
Sometimes, we fail either because the patient does not want a return to autonomy, or because the patient is too ill. We give the same chance to everyone, rich, poor, alcoholic, drug addict, young or old.
\n
\n
The management of a patient goes from shaving the beard of a man to the presentation on the toilet, the room arrangement the carefully tended beds.
\n
\n
Lunch arrived around 8:30 am, few patient is in the dining hall for breakfast, other unfinished eat in bed Logistical assistance serves meals that are different if the patient is diabetic, diet, dieters, old, or in solid supply resumption. You should know that when the patient has had a stroke, a stroke, swallowing is absent, which means that if the patient eats a sandwich, but he swallows the bread goes in the bronchial tubes and not in the stomach, giving a false swallowing, bronchi become infected and it's a disaster. So this patient who made false swallowing should eat while cream consistency and drink thickened liquid. Which is not very good but I admit it must go through these stages in order to re-eat a day normally.
\n
\n
Physiotherapists arrive at 9am and leave a 17h, occupational therapists also. There is also a neuropsychologist, a speech therapist and all do work that allows the patient to regain maximum independence, which means that the patient all day is busy. Visitors can come between 14:30 and 19:30.
\n
\n
After lunch, we continue our work, when all is well, we finish around 10:30 or 11am but sometimes it is noon we are still in the rooms.
\n
\n
In terms of handling, the entry of the patient, it is usually in bed or in a wheelchair with a right hemiplegia or left, some have forgotten that they had half a disabled body, so it must withstand and no wear and show him how to do with one leg to go from wheelchair to bed and vice versa. Others are completely invalid, they know not move neither arms nor legs, and for those, or we wear them either we lift them with a forklift.
\n
\n
During dinner, we feed the disabled and we encode our care in the computer.
\n
\n
Around 13h, we are a few naps after going on the toilet. Sometimes we have a problem in the pants, oops! When everyone is changed to bed, we have a service change ratio and the time, the hour of the end of our service is lagging. At 14h is the start of the morning shift. For my part, I take a good shower and I take the way home or waiting for my cats and my dog makes me a big party.
\n
\n
We must not believe that the nursing profession is simple, each service is different and you can not compare the care of each other.
\n
\n
I hope I have not bothered you with this long text, I wish you a good day to you all.
I haven't stopped and taken a picture of the beauty around me in a long time. It's funny how we can get so caught up in work and the business of a crazy life and miss the simply beauty along the way. Sometime you've just got to stop and smell the roses; and while you're there, take a picture!
\n
\n
These aren't roses, I know: they're wild flowers. They don't get the nurture and care that roses do, and yet they are provided for and they bloom into beautiful blossoms in their own time. They have a harder life than others, and that's how we humans are as well. Some of us were well taken care of growing up and were treated like roses, while others were left in the field to grow up alone and without the love and care we should have had. But we are all beautiful in our own ways and if we survive long enough, we will blossom into something spectacular.
\n
\n
Colorado mountain rivers
\n
When the snow on the tops of the mountains melt, it feed the rushing rivers that carve their way down the mountainside. The climbing is excellent, the whether and the views are truly gorgeous, but something about the rivers rushing through the mountains draws you in. There is a memorization about the brave rivers unafraid of the mountains and simply rushing on by recklessly.
\n
\n
Mississippi at sunset
\n
Sometimes the world just slows down and magic happens. This was one of those times. On the night before my sister's wedding in Tupelo, Mississippi the sky exploded in color. What a calm reassurance before a monumental event: the approval stamp of God upon the sanction of their marriage.

Hundreds of years old Indian hieroglyphs in Arizona
\n
This was an incredible hike in the Arizona mountain ranges to discover a place where the Apache Indians, or perhaps some other tribe had lived hundreds of years ago!
\n
\n
Uganda, Africa at twilight, from a moving bus
\n
Africa is always an adventure, but in 2015 we took a safari on the northern rim and caught this shot on the way back to the lodge. I love how the beauty of the world is unique in its diversity from place to place, even across the Atlantic.
\n
\n
This is one of my favorite shots. I don't remember where I took it or when, but the colors, the bliss, the peacefulness of this field of flowers was stunning. I'm glad I was able to capture an image of its beauty to remember it by. And to think, all of this beauty was made by God in a second! His power to create a world is amazing and perfect in every way. We get to see His marvelous creation every day!

Russian Roulette - A Memoir of my Two Years in Moscow - Part 2 - Under the Table Tactics
\n
In this part of my memoir I am going to attempt to describe the dark side of Moscow. All stories depicted here either happened directly to people I knew, or were described to me as a it's-russia-get-used-to-it anecdote. \nYes, I will be talking about corruption and paying people under the table for things but bear in mind that even though it seems like a common practice definitely not all people do that and not all people experience the phenomenon.
\n
A ROUTINE POLICE CHECK
\n
It is said that it is extremely wise to keep 2k-5k Rubles (about 28-68 Euro, 30-77 Dollars, 23-58 Pounds) in your registration papers at all times. They tend to disappear when you get your documents back from the officer... If one does not have such loose change, the guy tends to make one's life difficult. \"You were speeding\", \"You didn't stop at the STOP sign\", \"You're light is out\" etc. Driving is another interesting phenomenon in Moscow. You might think that since the metro is so packed, the streets will be empty. On the contrary, but I will not get into that right now as that makes a completely different post... However, what I will tell you is how one of my students passed her driving exam, which leads us to...
\n
PAYING TO PASS AN EXAM
\n
After her first failed attempt, my student looked at her instructor/examiner and asked: \"Could you please tell me what I did wrong, so I can work on it in the future?\" He stared back at her surprised and announced: \"Well, you didn't pay me extra, what do you expect?!\" At that point even I was shocked - \"So people openly tell you they want money?!\" \"Get used to it Kasia, It's Russia....\" \nNeedless to say, she was forced to pay the second time around and surprise, surprise, she passed.... \n \nI taught English in a company. I came one week, and saw that everyone was kind of in a rush and slightly agitated. I asked what the problem was and they said they were waiting for an audit. I remember wishing them good luck... One lady looked at me and smiled \"We paid the guys to look the other way, it will be fine!\" I didn't even bother to comment as I had aleady known there was no point...
\n
GETTING INTO A PRIVATE EVENT
\n
It was the three of us - my BF, his friend and I. We wanted to do some clubbing and the friend decided we should go to a very trendy bar in the heart of Moscow. He had a loyalty card there and was well known among the bouncers. We didn't really look the part, but a hefty fee paid for each of us (by the friend) was enough to let us in...
\n
That was a minor party. Let's talk about the big stuff, involving bigger money! \nIf you know someone, who knows someone, who knows someone you might be able to (legally) attend the dress rehearsal of the famous Victory Parade in May (the 9th to be exact). It costs about 10k (137 Euro, 116 Pounds , 153 Dollars) Watch fragments of the video below to see the magnitude of what I am talking about.
\n
The whole thing is long, play with it a little bit. The good stuff starts at about 40 minutes. Source
\n
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EI3FYynz-Q
\n
To enter the actual parade however, you need to be a prominent member of the society (e.g. ex-military) or someone famous or filthy rich :)
\n
The event itself is quite impressive and for soldiers taking part in the march it is an honor among honors. \nWe had the privilege of living 15 minutes on foot from the Red Square so we saw all the preparations and marches right outside our windows (till 11pm at night...)
\n
\n
PS. I am aware that my portrayal of Moscow might seem bleak and depressing. Believe me, it was not. I;m simply trying to describe the juicy bits, the interesting stuff :) My next post will be more optimistic as I will be talking about sports, parks an recreations :)

+ "body": "## In this episode, a hot Aedapt girl helps Jack escape Killer giant Cockroaches! ##\n\n**Jake was peering through cracks between the plaster laths back into the room where they guard stood.** \n\n\n***Missed an episode? Great more great reading for you [on my blog](https://steemit.com/@markrmorrisjr)! Be sure to follow me for awesome daily updates in your feed and leave me comments. I love comments!***\n\n\u201cNo, we\u2019re not that smart when we\u2019re under. We can really only do what we hear them telling us to do.\u201d Jake whispered, calmly as the big guard moved within inches of the wall, snorting. The guard turned, blasted a hole in the ceiling with his gun and charged back into the hall. \n\n*They heard him blasting the door of the next room open.*\n\n\u201cWe can\u2019t stay here. I\u2019m guessing you\u2019ve got this one on a signal blocker and there\u2019s not much time.\u201d \n\nThe girl turned and ran to a corner, where an iron hand rail rose up out of the floor in a curve. She disappeared through the floor and as Jack followed, he found a narrow, spiraling stair that led below. \n\nHe lost his footing and slid down the stairs, narrowly missing the girl. She stood in the room below, with ear to the door that led into the hall.\n\n\n\n*Jake followed close behind. The girl with the violet eyes opened the door and stepped out into the hall with the awakened Nosher right behind her and Jack bringing up the rear. Jack had no idea what to do next, but the girl seemed to be in her element, and willing to help.*\n\n**Hopefully, she was not leading them into more danger.** \n\nHe followed her past one door, and into the darkened room where they had first started. It was empty, which could only mean one thing. The Noshers who had recently occupied it were upstairs right now with the ugly guard. They were looking for Jack and the others and would soon head back down.\n\n\u201cShouldn\u2019t we just get out of here?\u201d Jack said. He stood with his back to the wall and the door opened a crack so that one eye could see down the hall toward the upper stairs.\n\n\u201cNot without these,\u201d the girl walked to where the guard had been and pointed up at the weapons, suspended above. She ran a hand along the doorframe, \u201cIt ought to be along here somewhere.\u201d She said.\n\n**\u201cWhat is?\u201d Jack hissed, shifting as her body pressed against his.** \n\nShe ran her hand along the top of the doorframe. He froze; she smelled good. It had been a long time since a girl had gotten this close to him, junior prom, in fact. He did not have a lot of time for dating with his work schedule. \n\n*To top it off, the smell of burnt fries that clung to him even after an hour in the shower was hardly an aphrodisiac.*\n\nThe girl put one hand on his chest and stood on tiptoe, pressing tight against him. \u201cOh, don\u2019t kid yourself; you just happened to be in my way.\u201d She laughed, scornfully, and pressed a hidden button at the top right corner of the door. Weapons rained down with a crash, and she quickly chose two handguns, handing one to Jack. \n\nShe pressed the button again, and the remaining weapons zipped back up into position. Jack had to grip the gun in his hand firmly to keep it from joining them.\n\n\n\n**\u201cElectro magnet,\u201d she said and opened the door, moving out, weapon first.**\n\n\u201cI knew that,\u201d Jack said. He flattened himself against the hallway wall, like a TV detective. The magnet had occurred to him, but in his addled state, he had not really grasped the concept. Mostly he just did not like the idea of her being smarter than he was. \n\n\u201cKeep up\u201d he hissed to Jake, who had managed to grab a revolver.\nThe three moved quickly down the hall and turned toward the front door. The two roaches Jack had seen earlier, peered out from either side. \n\n**They had weapons leveled in his direction.**\n\n*The girl crouched and moved forward as if she were still a Nosher. It worked. Jack followed suit, and Jake did his best. His human consciousness was getting stronger by the minute.* \n\nHe had even started getting color back in his cheeks, and Jack was beginning to notice that the man seemed oddly familiar, the more human he became. \u201cCould be a side effect of this Nosher thinking,\" he guessed.\n\n\u201cThey're right behind us,\u201d the girl hissed to one of the roaches. \u201cBlast the next thing that comes down those stairs, you got me?\u201d \n\n**The bug clicked and hissed.** \n\n*Jack assumed it was a yes, because the two giant insects moved in and took up positions on either side of the hall.*\n\nJack bolted out the door and was relieved to see the Rabbit zip up just in time. Phineas sat behind the wheel, and the Things were nowhere in sight. Behind them, they heard the roaches open fire, and then a huge blast echoed down the hall. \n\n\n\nA gust of wind barreled out the door, raining cockroach guts over the three escaping figures. Jake stumbled, and Jack picked him up and shoved him into the back seat of the Rabbit.\n\nHe turned back to let the girl in, but she was gone. Phineas stood up on the running board, slapping the roof of the vehicle furiously. \u201cGet in the car! Let\u2019s go man!\u201d\n\n*By the time Jack had slid into the passenger seat, Phineas had the Rabbit patching out. They were up to top speed in a matter of seconds.*\n\n**\u201cFind a me a safe dime!\u201d Phineas yelled, standing as he worked the pedals and tried to see over the steering wheel at the same time.**\n\n\u201cWhat?\u201d Jack yelled over the whine of the engine.\n\n\u201cDime, a dimension, get us out of here.\u201d Phineas pleaded.\n\nJack opened the glove compartment and fiddled with the controls, but nothing happened.\n\n**\u201cDamn, guess I have to do everything, Phineas grumbled, \u201chere, take the wheel.\u201d** \n\n*The Leprechaun ducked under Jack\u2019s arms as he grabbed the steering wheel from his position in the passenger\u2019s seat.* \n\nPhineas leaned across the stick shift, his feet working the pedals as he started manipulating the glovebox controls. Jack\u2019s view through the windshield changed every few seconds. It was making steering from the passenger\u2019s seat even more of a challenge.\n\n*Meanwhile, Jake hunkered down in the back seat. From where Jack sat, he was not looking so good. He wondered how much time they had left.*\n\nJack swerved to miss a slow-moving vehicle that had just appeared as they shifted dimensions. Finally, Phineas settled for one that put them on a narrow two-lane country road. \n\nThe town disappeared, replaced by rows of fences. Phineas braked and turned off onto the shoulder of the road, rolling to a stop.\n\nJack\u2019s heartbeat slowly returned to normal. Meanwhile, Jake sounded like he was winding up in the back seat, his voice rolling into a high-pitched whine, perforated with short puffs of breath, like a woman in labor on a late-night sitcom.\n\n**\u201cYou okay, back there?\u201d Jack asked, climbing out onto the shoulder.** \n\nJake launched himself out of the back seat, landed face down in a shallow ditch, and promptly lost the entire contents of his stomach in a single \n\n\u201cralph\u201d.\n--------\n\nJack turned away, pulling his elbow up over his nose to avoid the horrendous smell of vomit. Meanwhile, Phineas dove around the hood of the car and into the ditch, pawing through the puke as if he was panning for gold. \n\n*A few seconds later, he came up for air, triumphantly holding the thumb drive.*\n\nHe stood, wiping his hands on Jake\u2019s jacket, and then looked at his watch. \u201cIt\u2019s past time,\u201d He said, pulling the transmitter from the man\u2019s neck. Jake lolled into the ditch; his eyes fluttered, and Phineas shoved Jack toward the driver\u2019s seat.\n\n**\u201cLet\u2019s go. We don\u2019t want to be here when they come to collect him.\u201d He said, climbing into the passenger\u2019s seat.**\n\n***Will Jake see the girl again? What about his Nosher friend, what becomes of him? Will they ever get the smell out of the ALICE? Stay tuned!***\n\n## Look for the upvote button below. If you liked the post, upvote and share!

I\u2019m as surprised as anyone to be saying this but holy shit, these vape trick are really impressive.Yes, vaping still makes most people look like an extra who just stepped off the set of Blade Runner. But god dammit, King Titus is doing some stuff with smoke in this video that doesn\u2019t seem physically possible.How is he moving smoke rings through the air without breaking them? Let\u2019s just soak that in for a hot second.
\n\nBefore we go into strategies, I have to explain more thoroughly what relationship I was talking about in the past article.\n\nSo we know that the Oil is denominated by the US Dollar, and we know that a cheap Oil is good for the US Economy, but I wasn't very precise here, this is not entirely true, there is something more here.\n\nFirst of all the commodity market is the only thing that keeps the US Dollar stable, since the Nixon lifting of the Gold standard. The USD is printed at will and the commodities are the only thing that give it some residual value.\n\nSo the commodity market has to be as liquid as possible in order to keep the USD stable, because every ounce of Gold, gram of grain or drop of Oil bought gives value to the USD, because it goes through the USD market.\n\nBut also the commodity market cannot be high in price, because that is bad for the USD. So you have to have a very liquid commodity market, but one that has low price. It sounds very contradictory (the velocity of money theory forbids this), so how you do you achieve this?\n\nWith a Paper Ponzi Scheme: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_certificate\n\nBy issuing commodities on paper, that are not backed by real commodities, or in other words extremely leveraged instruments. You can read more about this popular scam here:\n\n
\n\nNow I am not sure if the same phenomena is happening to Oil as well, but it could be possible. The entire commodity market is undervalued while derivatives and over-leveraged scams are the popular choice of investment for investors.\n\nSo if this is true, then Oil, and the whole commodity market would be into a bullish run possibly. But what about the USD? Yes, the USD itself is in trouble too. The US national debt and outstanding liabilities are too big, and I think the FED will just do QE any minute now, printing up Dollars and perhaps pumping up the commodity market too.\n\nAlright so now it is very confusing, in the past article I established a bearish trend, and now I am saying a bullish scenario could happen? So which one is it. Well let's take them 1 by 1:\n\n* Venezuela economic collapse and Middle East wars = **Bullish**\n* Big Oil price not good for US so they will suppress it with any tool available = `Bearish`\n* OPEC increased Oil production together with [Iran's lifted embargo](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/08/world/middleeast/embargo-lifted-iranian-Oil-reaches-europe.html) = `Bearish` \n* Russia building Oil pipeline in South Europe = `Bearish`\n* China investing in Africa and importing Oil = **Bullish** (since the growing Chinese economy is a big Oil demand)\n* Rising Green Energy markets = `Bearish`\n* Paper ponzi scheme could collapse anytime = **Bullish**\n* New rounds of quantitative easing to erode global debts = **Bullish**\n\nSo it looks to me like a whipsaw, again it could be quantified to have more accurate numbers, but it looks like the risk is big in the market. I would certainly not go long or short on it, since it's pretty unpredictable based on these macroeconomic trends. Whatever monopoly controls the price of Oil has made sure to make the price unpredictable, so that people will be wiped out on both sides.\n\nSo then how to trade this, if long and short positions are too risky, what to do?\n\n----------------------\n \n
\n\nIf long and short positions are too risky, then hedging is the only strategy left in my opinion. I would not trade Oil naked, but if we hedge it with the right instrument, it could be profitable.\n\n
\n\nBut what to hedge, what pairs to hedge and how? Well there are many combinations, and you have to find the pairs that will make you money nontheless.\n\nBut let's cut the crap, I have found a setup that is ultra profitable, and I will share it with you, in exchange you can donate me some SBD and upvote my post and follow me, that is the least you can do for showing you this ultra profitable trading strategy.\n\nSo here are the pairs:\n* Oil / USD\n* XAU / USD\n* USD / JPY\n* DJI / USD\n\nWe will construct our `artificial index` from these, I will call it `ProfitGenerator`:\n\n
\n\nThis is how `ProfitGenerator` looks like, it is really a @profitgenerator, going up and up since 2009. The formula is the following:\n`BUY Oil / USD`\n`SELL XAU / USD`\n`SELL USD / JPY`\n`BUY DJI / USD`\n\nSo basically by buying the DOW 30 and Oil, and selling Gold and the USD/JPY, we get this artificial index that always makes our profits go up since 2009. Of course it has dips and volatility, but the trend line looks to go up:\n\n
\n\nI have extrapolated it linearly in the future, and it could be a profitable investment.Looks like easy money to me, I might check it out as well, and look for even better hedging strategies.\n\n---------------------------\n\nBasically this is how I would trade Oil at the moment, not naked, but put inside this nice hedging strategy. So if you decide to try it out, you should reward me after you made some profits!\n\n\n---------------------------\n\n*Data sources: http://www.investing.com*\n\n***Disclaimer: The information provided on this page might be incorrect.

While I didn't get to read or see the article until someone mailed me a physical copy, I found out that my article had started a number of discussions and follow-on commentary.\n\nDuring my stay at Lewisburg Federal Prison Camp I observed many economic theories put into effect by inmates and the prison administration, including Gresham's law, hyperinflation, currency exchange, and others.\n\nThere are two markets in prison, the \"Administration Run Market\" (ARM) and the \"Inmate Run Market\" (IRM). \n\nFor the ARM, family and friends can add money to your account through Western Union, MoneyGram, or mailing a check. These funds get added to your account fairly quickly and can be used almost immediately, however with a strict spending limit. You get 300 minutes of phone use per month for about $70, and email costs about $0.05 a minute and is only available at specific times to specific people. Once a week you can shop in the commissary with a $360 a month spending limit. Further, certain products have limits of how much you can buy, for example the Mackerel (described below). Alternatively, the IRM is where you can buy sandwiches, wraps, pizzas, Italian ices, hire a personal trainer, get a haircut, pay someone to clean your cube, repair a watch, even inmate run caterers for your birthday or going home party. Additionally there were inmate run 'stores' which sold commissary items at a markup since you could only commissary shop once a week.\n\n[](https://postimg.org/image/iu6qq6eb9/)\n\nThe Mackerel (meaning literal packets of fish) is one of the competing currencies in the IRM. It has utility by being one of the best sources of protein on the compound. You can save it for a long time, the shelf life is a few years. The price is relatively the same across all prisons in the country, so even if you transfer prisons your property comes with you, including your Mackerel which is worth the same somewhere else. Unlike tunafish, chicken packets and protein bars, more people eat Mackerel. Those other food items can be used as currency as well, for example the guy who fixes your watch may only accept protein bars because he hates fish. There was even a form of digital currency being used, which I will discuss in another post.\n\n[](https://postimg.org/image/nfj3tkh87/)\n\nUtility and medium of exchange give it some value but what about scarcity ? If there is a virtually unlimited amount of Mackerel in the IRM, just like the Federal Reserve printing money, there is no scarcity and hyperinflation can occure if it is debased. \n\nUsing a simple equation, 467 (Number of Inmates) * 14 (Maximum Quantity Allowed to Purchase Per Inmate) * 52 (weeks, assuming every inmate buys the maximum mount of Mackerel every week)\n\nSo if in 2015 we assume that the Supply and Velocity grows at the exact same rate with the Price Level and Transactions unchanging, the amount of Mackerel would essentially double on an even inflation rate. This does not factor in the 3 year shelf life, where expired Mackerel becomes a secondary currency. I will discuss in my next post. \n\nI like to believe that the value of money is determined also psychological factors, like a commodity and not only by mechanical or mathematical factors. In prison many of these psychological factors come into play.\n\n[](https://postimg.org/image/ceiwrfinr/)\n\nMost people use Mackerel as a day-to-day currency for normal transactions, but for reasons I will explain in my next post, they are not the best long term store of value which is important for a currency. For longer term store of value, many inmates use stamps. Stamps have a set rate by the United States Postal Service and have similar characteristics as Mackerel aside for being edible. However, with the introduction of email on the compound many people stopped writing letters as email is cheaper and faster therefore reducing stamps ability to be a transactional currency as a majority of the inmates have no use for them. As a store of value they still hold weight because they are small and easy to store large amounts, while Mackerel is not.\n\nThe biggest value stamps have is that they can be mailed home and your family can redeem them for dollars as the local post office, but that feature can be stopped by better mail screening and overnight the stamp could lose its store of value utility. \n\nIn my next post I will discuss how currency exchangers work, what happens when the prison administration purposely floods the market, and how a secondary currency was created out of expired Mackerel called \u201cMoney Maks\u201d",

I don't know about you, but one of my favorite parts of eating sushi is the pickled ginger. Today, I stopped by the store to pick up some pickled ginger to go with the sushi I was making for lunch, but I was totally bummed that they didn't have any.
\n
So I went home and did what I do a lot...I improvised. Remembering the bag of whole, unpeeled ginger I had thrown in the freezer a while back, I got it out. Turns out, you can make great pickled ginger at home, and it's super easy!
\n
Recipe:
\n
1/4 cup peeled, thinly sliced ginger
\n
1/4 cup seasoned sushi vinegar
\n
1 tablespoon ginger
\n
Put all the ingredients in a small seal-able container and let set in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
\n
I love to eat this with a simple tempura shrimp roll using 1 sheet of nori, 1/2 cup sushi rice, and tempura shrimp.
\n
YUM!

It\u2019s no secret anymore that many of these concoctions are \nloaded with carcinogens that damage the neurological, reproductive, and hormonal systems.\n\n For example fluoride is a substance found in most drinking water that to me and many doctors alike would say is unethical.\n \nFluoride is not an essential nutrient. No disease, not even tooth decay, is caused by a \u201cfluoride deficiency.\u201d Not a single biological process has been shown to require fluoride. On the contrary there is extensive evidence that fluoride can interfere with many important biological processes. Fluoride interferes with numerous enzymes. In combination with aluminum, fluoride interferes with G-proteins. Such interactions give aluminum-fluoride complexes the potential to interfere with signals from growth factors, hormones and neurotransmitters. More and more studies indicate that fluoride can interfere with biochemistry in fundamental ways.\n\nFluoride may damage the brain. According to the National Research Council, \u201cit is apparent that fluorides have the ability to interfere with the functions of the brain.\u201d In a review of the literature commissioned by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), fluoride has been listed among about 100 chemicals for which there is \u201csubstantial evidence of developmental neurotoxicity.\u201d Animal experiments show that fluoride accumulates in the brain and alters mental behavior in a manner consistent with a neurotoxic agent. In total, there have now been over 100 animal experiments showing that fluoride can damage the brain and impact learning and behavior. According to fluoridation proponents, these animal studies can be ignored because high doses were used. However, it is important to note that rats generally require five times more fluoride to reach the same plasma levels in humans. Further, one animal experiment found effects at remarkably low doses. In this study, rats fed for one year with 1 ppm fluoride in their water (the same level used in fluoridation programs), using either sodium fluoride or aluminum fluoride, had morphological changes to their kidneys and brains, an increased uptake of aluminum in the brain, and the formation of beta-amyloid deposits which are associated with Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Other animal studies have found effects on the brain at water fluoride levels as low as 5 ppm.\n\nWhile fluoridation may not be the greatest environmental health threat, it is one of the easiest to end. \nMany People are aware of these issues and today there are more alternative options than ever before.\n\nwaterliberty.com is one site I've came across with products and tips for a healthier lifestyle. \n\nTo find more info on fluoride this is a good site: fluoridealert.org/articles/50-reasons/",

+ "body": "I did a few of these a while back, I was experimenting with the technique. It was fun and I might well do some more, especially if there's an audience for them\n\nThe basic technique is to first to take a video clip and split it into a number of frames. I expect you can do this easily in Photoshop or something, but I'm a command line kind of guy so I used ffmpeg and ImageMagick - I learned a lot from reading [this post about it](\"https://room208.org/blog/posts/48793543478.html\"). I go for things that break down into about 12-24 frames because at 24 fps you're going to need 12 to get a half second loop.\n\nThen you load up each frame in your favourite graphics editor - I use GIMP because I'm cheap. For each frame, you create a new transparent layer and trace over the bits of the frame that you want to replicate. There's a bit of artistic choice in here about how much detail you want to include and how much colour filling you'll do. But the most basic thing is to create a simplified line drawing by running the brush over the key elements.\n\nSo for this one of Johnny Rotten, I only took twelve frames from the beginning and only traced his face and the mic and filled in his hair with an approximation of it's actual colour!\n\n\n\nIf you give your transparent layer a white background you've then got a finished frame for your clip. So export it and give it a number so that you know which order it goes in. Again, Photoshop and GIMP probably have this built in, but I'm awkward that way and like to make things as close to \"by hand\" as I can. This is also much slower, but it does feel like you've made something rather than just knowing which buttons to press.\n\nYou then sew the frames back up into a GIF file using ImageMagick's convert command - check out that [blog post again](\"https://room208.org/blog/posts/48793543478.html\") for the deep dive details.\n\nAlternatively you can take a still image and just trace it several times. That's what I did with this one of Louis Armstrong. Four frames, each slightly different from the others, when animated give it this jiggly quality as if he is playing.\n\n\n\nI'd love to see what other people make of this technique. Show me your work too!",

It has been the battle ground for many groups of people. One group of people though have had a rather large voice in it, those being the deeply religious and gullible. \n\nhttps://pixabay.com/static/uploads/photo/2016/08/20/09/46/magnifying-glass-1607160_960_720.jpg\n\nConservapedia is a encyclopedia type website tasked with presenting the other side of the story. They have been on the forefront of the age of the Earth dispute for some time. Their motto is, \"The trustworthy encyclopedia\" but is this really true to any extent? Lets look at their page on the age of the Earth, http://www.conservapedia.com/Age_of_the_Earth\n\n### They claim is that the earth is about 6,000 years old.\n\nThe first thing that they claim is that the earth is about 6,000 years old. They say that historical and much scientific evidence point to that age strongly. One example being that dating substances through radioactive decay is not a valid because the assumption that radioactive decay is constant is wrong. This is just blatantly incorrect. The claim that it is an assumption is really facts backed with testing at least to a limited degree of accuracy. Even with rigorous testing to alter the decay rates of elements no substantial change has ever been detected. Even in the Oklo reactor which was a natural nuclear fission reactor that was active for a few hundred thousand years has had no change on the Sommerfeld's constant and neutron capture for almost 2 billion years.\n\n\n### Conclusion\n\nConservapedia makes frequent references archaic texts that have no solid facts backing any of their claims. Their delusional claims take into account little if not any real world facts. They present biased and fudged data as reliable information for profound question and answered. I conclusion they are so detached reality that I am surprised that anybody would take them seriously, and the fact that they are even able to upkeep a website.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n### Sources:\nwww.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CF/CF210.html\npixabay.com/static/uploads/photo/2016/08/20/09/46/magnifying-glass-1607160_960_720.jpg\neoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/57000/57723/globe_west_2048.jpg",

Hello, my friends! If you are tired of plain pancakes I advise you to get some work done and you'll get a very delicious pie and a nice dessert for tea time.
Put a row of cherries on one edge of a pancake and roll. Put those rolls on a plate and cream them with the cream we've made before. Then make one more layer of pancake rolls and so on, making a pyramid.
\n\nIn past issues, we\u2019ve documented increasingly concerned billionaires warning of dangerous economic times. Many have favored gold as an alternative allocation in a world where $13 trillion-worth of debt is negative yielding, interest rates are artificially suppressed and we\u2019re on the brink of major wars.\n\nThe newest addition to this gold-loving billionaire's club, is none other than hedge-fund manager Paul Singer. At CNBC\u2019s Delivering Alpha Investors Conference this week, the founder of the $27-billion Elliott Management Fund, the 17th largest hedge fund in the world, mentioned that at current prices gold is \u201cundervalued\u201d and \u201cunderrepresented in many portfolios as the only ... store of value that has stood the test of time.\u201d\n\nSinger, along with numerous other hedge-fund managers, has been increasingly outspoken in his criticism of the Federal Reserve and other central banks for creating dangers in the market unlike any in what he terms the \u201c5,000 year-ish\u201d history of finance. Singer noted that \u201cit's a very dangerous time in the global economy and global financial markets.\"\n\nThis quote is frighteningly similar to the response given by Donald Trump on Fox Business not long ago when he was asked if he had money in the market. He answered, \u201cI did, but I got out,\u201d and then went on to say that he expected \u201cvery scary scenarios\u201d for investors.\n\nSinger also stated that he thinks owning medium- to long-term first world debt is a \u201creally bad idea\u201d... and then proceeded to tell listeners to sell their 30-year bonds.\n\nEarlier in the conference, prior to Singer, Ray Dalio who is the manager of the largest hedge fund in the world, Bridgewater Capital, was also vocal about the diminishing returns provided by government debt held by central banks. \u201cThere\u2019s only so much you can squeeze out of the debt cycle,\" he said. He went on to say that central banks are at a point now where their ability to stimulate is limited.\n\nSeated next to Dalio was Former Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner who voiced concern about limited \u201ctools in the keynesian arsenal,\u201d that probably wouldn\u2019t be enough to offset the next recession.\n\nGeithner obviously believes that a recession is on the way. Dalio and Singer are trying to convey the same message. A massive crunch is looming.\n\nWe agree with them, although we believe Geithner was sugarcoating what\u2019s to come.\n\nAfter all, we are on the precipice of a crash of biblical proportions according to the former chief economist of the Bank for International Settlements, William White.\n\nWe have mentioned his quote numerous time here at TDV but feel it\u2019s important to reiterate because of its magnitude: \u201cThe only question is whether we are able to look reality in the eye and face what is coming in an orderly fashion, or whether it will be disorderly. Debt jubilees have been going on for 5,000 years, as far back as the Sumerians.\u201d\n\nAs the Fed considers its second rate hike in 10 years, Singer condemned policy-makers for acting with \u201camazing arrogance\u201d when he and others had warned of a mortgage crisis prior to 2008.\n\nWhat he and those who agreed with his stance don\u2019t know, or at least won\u2019t state publicly, is that these shoddy central bank policies are detrimental by design. In other words, their sole purpose is to destabilize the world economy.\n\nThis deliberate market sabotage is necessary for the transference of power from the more developed nations to less developed ones. Ultimately, the idea is to eliminate smaller regional and national central banks. Once things get bad enough, these smaller banks will be blamed for provoking a given crisis. And, secondarily, the end goal is to blow up the entire system in order to bring in the one world government and central bank.\n\nThe elites have used the same tactics time and time again throughout history. First, they create the problem, then there is a reaction, and then finally they come swooping in to \u201cvaliantly save\u201d the day. It's happened numerous times before.\n
\nAnd it will soon happen again.\n\nOf course, the globalists have demonstrated that every intervention only makes situations worse.\n\nWe reported on the blatant thievery going on at Wells Fargo in our last article and noted how the elites were probably laughing hysterically at what they\u2019re able to get away with. They were even able to convince many younger American voters that \u201cdemocratic socialism\u201d would be their savior, as seen by the significant, youthful support for Bernie Slanders. Debt and currency crises have already started to materialize, as we\u2019ve seen in the socialist utopia that is Venezuela. If this is any indication of what\u2019s to come, the future is looking awfully gloomy.\n\nAs Singer and others including Dalio have mentioned before, the most tried and true measure of wealth and value is gold.\n\nAt TDV we provide unique Austrian-economics based analysis from the anarcho-capitalist pespective of the state of the world\u2019s economy, as well as suggestions on how to protect your assets in these tempestuous and unprecedented times.\n\nJacob Rothschild, a member of the family partly responsible for the creation of all this chaos, even said himself that we are in \u201cuncharted waters\u201d and that it\u2019s \u201cimpossible to predict the unintended consequences of very low interest rates.\u201d\n\nWe have a pretty good idea of what the consequences will be and we\u2019re taking action to protect ourselves and even profit from them. Rothschild seems to know the consequences, as well, as he has been buying up gold and selling the stock market and the US dollar.\n\nYou can survive and profit from the orchestrated collapse too. Subscribe to TDV\u2019s newsletter here to receive constantly updated information on how to protect your family and friends.\n\nIn the end, it is getting truly bizarre just how many billionaires, central bankers and others of note are all warning of the coming collapse. We\u2019d almost begun to worry that they were going to pull a switch-a-roo on us, but if you asked the great majority of investors and financial analysts, they\u2019ll tell you that they see nothing but smooth sailing ahead.\n\nSo, while many are warning, many are hearing, but not listening. The bible said something about that, I believe.\n
The museum I work at is unique because we showcase animals that are native to Virginia -- meaning that these are animals people will find close to home, rather than across the ocean in some distant country. This makes my job more crucial in that I am responsible for educating people about the reptiles and amphibians that they will find in their own backyards. And obviously, there\u2019s one group of reptiles that gives people more pause than almost any other animal . . . .
I do public programs featuring snakes quite frequently. I believe people should know how to identify local venomous/non-venomous snakes, their role in the environment and how to deal with them when they are in close proximity to our homes. Usually, I get eager audiences asking great questions. But, every now and then, I get some idiot who tells me, \u201cI saw that same snake in my backyard! I chopped off its head with a shovel!\u201d
\n
Are they an idiot for killing the snake? Not necessarily . . . I don\u2019t know the situation behind the encounter. But, only an idiot would walk into a wildlife facility, approach a zoo keeper and proudly declare that they kill the very same animals that the keeper is charged with the care for. Would you walk into an animal shelter and tell someone working there that you enjoy stomping on puppies? To us, there\u2019s not much difference\u2026
The best we can do in these situations is to try to educate people. This can be difficult because so many people are set in their ways -- plus we have to combat an instinctive fear and prejudice against snakes. So, I\u2019m going to briefly lay it all out for you and tell you \"Why you shouldn\u2019t kill that snake in your yard.\"
1. It\u2019s ILLEGAL in most states to kill a wild snake, unless that snake presents an IMMEDIATE threat. And no, a snake crawling through your yard does not represent a good enough excuse to use force. We\u2019re talking about a situation where a venomous snake is about to strike and you have no escape route but to fight your way out. And guess what, that really doesn\u2019t ever happen (barring instances where someone purposefully provokes an animal). Wildlife and law enforcement agencies are cracking down on people killing snakes, so it\u2019s better to keep yourself out of trouble.
2. You are putting yourself in harm\u2019s way. The vast majority of snake bites occur when people attempt to capture or kill snakes. If left alone, the snake CANNOT hurt you. Call wildlife services or trained professionals to remove the animal.
3. It\u2019s an incredibly beneficial animal, and you\u2019d be foolish to kill it. Small snakes eat a huge variety of pest insects that destroy gardens, while large snakes typically feed on rats and other rodents that infest our homes. If you see a large snake hanging around, you have a rodent problem; snakes will not hang around if there is no food source. To keep snakes from being attracted to your property, do your best to remove any shelter or food sources that would attract rodents. Some snakes even eat other snakes, and species like the harmless king snake will even feed on venomous species!
4. Another snake might show up. Snakes will not typically inhabit the same area in order to avoid competition. If you kill that harmless rat snake, but you still have a food source nearby, another snake may move in to make use of that source. The new snake may be another harmless species or something a bit less desirable. So why not let that harmless snake take care of the infestation for you?
Having a snake around can be hugely beneficial to you. It is a free, environmentally-safe form of pest control. Snakes, including venomous species, are non-aggressive animals (unless you provoke them) that will actively do their best to AVOID people. A resident snake will often go unnoticed by homeowners, and most encounters are fleeting glimpses of the snake making a hasty escape. Remember that snakes have their own unique role in the environment, and regardless of our own fears and feelings towards them, they are a necessary part of life.

+ "body": "[](https://postimg.org/image/5bg38xjjr/)\n\nThe day I went to prison I published an article Bitcoin for Prison. While I didn't get to read or see the article until someone mailed me a physical copy, I found out that my article had started a number of discussions and follow-on commentary.\n\nDuring my stay at Lewisburg Federal Prison Camp I observed many economic theories put into effect by inmates and the prison administration, including Gresham's law, hyperinflation, currency exchange, and others.\n\nThere are two markets in prison, the \"Administration Run Market\" (ARM) and the \"Inmate Run Market\" (IRM). \n\nFor the ARM, family and friends can add money to your account through Western Union, MoneyGram, or mailing a check. These funds get added to your account fairly quickly and can be used almost immediately, however with a strict spending limit. You get 300 minutes of phone use per month for about $70, and email costs about $0.05 a minute and is only available at specific times to specific people. Once a week you can shop in the commissary with a $360 a month spending limit. Further, certain products have limits of how much you can buy, for example the Mackerel (described below). Alternatively, the IRM is where you can buy sandwiches, wraps, pizzas, Italian ices, hire a personal trainer, get a haircut, pay someone to clean your cube, repair a watch, even inmate run caterers for your birthday or going home party. Additionally there were inmate run 'stores' which sold commissary items at a markup since you could only commissary shop once a week.\n\n[](https://postimg.org/image/iu6qq6eb9/)\n\nThe Mackerel (meaning literal packets of fish) is one of the competing currencies in the IRM. It has utility by being one of the best sources of protein on the compound. You can save it for a long time, the shelf life is a few years. The price is relatively the same across all prisons in the country, so even if you transfer prisons your property comes with you, including your Mackerel which is worth the same somewhere else. Unlike tunafish, chicken packets and protein bars, more people eat Mackerel. Those other food items can be used as currency as well, for example the guy who fixes your watch may only accept protein bars because he hates fish. There was even a form of digital currency being used, which I will discuss in another post.\n\n[](https://postimg.org/image/nfj3tkh87/)\n\nUtility and medium of exchange give it some value but what about scarcity ? If there is a virtually unlimited amount of Mackerel in the IRM, just like the Federal Reserve printing money, there is no scarcity and hyperinflation can occure if it is debased. \n\nUsing a simple equation, 467 (Number of Inmates) * 14 (Maximum Quantity Allowed to Purchase Per Inmate) * 52 (weeks, assuming every inmate buys the maximum mount of Mackerel every week)\n\nSo if in 2015 we assume that the Supply and Velocity grows at the exact same rate with the Price Level and Transactions unchanging, the amount of Mackerel would essentially double on an even inflation rate. This does not factor in the 3 year shelf life, where expired Mackerel becomes a secondary currency. I will discuss in my next post. \n\nI like to believe that the value of money is determined also psychological factors, like a commodity and not only by mechanical or mathematical factors. In prison many of these psychological factors come into play.\n\n[](https://postimg.org/image/ceiwrfinr/)\n\nMost people use Mackerel as a day-to-day currency for normal transactions, but for reasons I will explain in my next post, they are not the best long term store of value which is important for a currency. For longer term store of value, many inmates use stamps. Stamps have a set rate by the United States Postal Service and have similar characteristics as Mackerel aside for being edible. However, with the introduction of email on the compound many people stopped writing letters as email is cheaper and faster therefore reducing stamps ability to be a transactional currency as a majority of the inmates have no use for them. As a store of value they still hold weight because they are small and easy to store large amounts, while Mackerel is not.\n\nThe biggest value stamps have is that they can be mailed home and your family can redeem them for dollars as the local post office, but that feature can be stopped by better mail screening and overnight the stamp could lose its store of value utility. \n\nIn my next post I will discuss how currency exchangers work, what happens when the prison administration purposely floods the market, and how a secondary currency was created out of expired Mackerel called \u201cMoney Maks\u201d",

Good afternoon Steemit, I am officially done breast feeding and am ready to get rid of the last few pounds that are still hanging on from my pregnancy so I have been trying out different ways to cut calories from my diet without loosing flavor. Spaghetti squash is a great substitute for pasta or in this case rice. Spaghetti squash has about 40 calories per cup while rice has upwards of 200. It also has fiber, potassium and vitamins A and C.
\n
For chicken:
\n
\n
1lb chicken breast
\n
1 tsp ancho chili
\n
1 tbs olive oil
\n
1 lime (juice and zest)
\n
1 tsp minced garlic
\n
\n
For squash:
\n
\n
1 spaghetti squash (cut in half length wise and seeds removed)
\n
1 tsp olive oil
\n
salt and pepper to taste
\n
\n
Preheat oven to 425F. In a baking dish, sprinkle chicken with ancho chili. Mix together oil, lime zest and juice and garlic. Pour mixture over chicken. Drizzle olive oil over squash and season with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on baking sheet. Bake a together for 30 min. Shred squash with a fork and put in the bottom of bowls. Shred chicken with forks and put on top of squash. I added cheese, salsa and guacamole to ours but you can top with anything you like. Enjoy!
\n\n## Introduction\n[Project Curie](https://steemit.com/steemit/@donkeypong/announcing-project-curie-bringing-rewards-and-recognition-to-steemit-s-undiscovered-and-emerging-authors) is a community project run by several Steemit authors. Its mission is to help reward content creators who are posting great original content, yet who have not yet become established. In the short time since Curie began, our writers group has partnered with @nextgencrypto and other whale accounts to bring rewards to these deserving authors. *Writers, artists, chefs, photographers, videographers, and many others have been recognized by these rewards.*\n\nEach day, the members of our Project will publish this list of the posts that Project Curie has chosen to reward recently. We hope that this list will provide more positive exposure to the authors we have selected. Also, it is an effort for us to be more transparent about which posts are being rewarded. We hope that you will consider following not only this @curie account, but also many of the authors whose work is featured here each day. **Please consider adding your comments on these posts also!**\n\nProject Curie's daily curation lists will now be called \"The Daily Curie\". We hope you like the name! Future editions of The Daily Curie will [feature our new logo](https://steemit.com/curie/@kevinwong/logo-contest-for-project-curie-contest-process-and-winners-announcement). For the latest on Project Curie, do check out our [Month #1 update](https://steemit.com/curie/@curie/special-edition-major-updates-and-project-curie-month-1-roundup-12-august-11-september-2016). \n\n----------------------\n\n## Today's Brief Analysis\n\nToday's list polls all posts curated between 17:00 14/09 UTC and 17:00 15/09 UTC. Project Curie voted on a total of **103 posts** by 99 unique authors. **SBD 3,832** has been generated for authors thus far, at an average of SBD 37 per post. \n\n----------------------\n| Author | Post | Payout |\n| --------- | ---------- | --------- |\n| [@faddat](https://steemit.com/@faddat) | [[SYSTEMS GEEK SERIES] Roll your own Docker Platform: Faster and cheaper than the cloud, more rebellious than legal weed!](https://steemit.com/beyondbitcoin/@faddat/roll-your-own-docker-platform-faster-and-cheaper-than-the-cloud-more-rebellious-than-legal-weed) | 616.681 SBD |\n| [@rampant](https://steemit.com/@rampant) | [Steemit Daily Drawing Tutorial - Gesture drawings (plus tool)](https://steemit.com/art/@rampant/steemit-daily-drawing-tutorial-gesture-drawings-plus-tool) | 215.310 SBD |\n| [@shenanigator](https://steemit.com/@shenanigator) | [Doing the Right Thing Will Get You Fired.

\n\n__________________________________\n\n**Chapter ONE**\n\nIt seemed as nothing was different in yet another cold and slightly windy London evening. The smog from the river was rising up as usual and the chilly wind would bring the smell up to the embankment, where Charles was taking a rest, sitting down on his favorite bench. \n\nFrom here he could see the might of the power station from across the river and something was special in the way those chimneys threw out the smoke onto the city. \n\nHe just finished his walk along his usual route, walking amongst the cemetery outside the chapel. It always amused him; that mix of emotion and sorrow amongst the busy city people, especially during the busy afternoon hours.\n\nThat rusty smell kept mixing with up with the light freshness of the leaves from the tree nearby Charles\u2019s bench. As he threw a brief glimpse onto the clock on the parliament building he noticed that the small arrow was on 45 minutes\u2026 \n\nSuddenly he heard a murmur of horses; he turned his head before he could finish realizing what time it was. He saw that just a few yards up the road two horse carriages didn\u2019t manage to share the drive way. \n\n
\n\nOne of the coachmen was shouting something and angrily waving his hands. Charles was able to see from here that the coachmen\u2019s grey clothing was partially covered in dirt, probably from the splash of the puddles from underneath the wheels. \n\nThe coachmen kept shouting something, Charles was unable to see the second carriage from where he was sitting, but was able to see some passersby, that starting to gather around the incident.\n\nIt was obvious that, just like him, those people had nothing better to do on this late afternoon then to watch in amusement the accident in the middle of the avenue.\n\nJust as Charles was starting to lose interest in the whole situation, the door of the cab that Charles could see, opened and a man dressed in a black suit and holding a pipe stepped out. He calmly put his hand in the upper inner pocket of the suit and pulled out some coins. The man made two steps up to driver and handed him the coins. At this moment the driver stopped shouting for a moment and it was clear from the look on his face that he was confused. \n\nThe cab driver counted the coins and said something to the man in the suit, the passenger didn\u2019t answer. He turned around and started to walk in the direction of the chapel. The cab driver clearly wasn\u2019t happy. He started to shout once again, but this time at the passenger. While the cab driver turned his attention to the passenger, Charles noticed how the second carriage that was involved in the accident managed to move a few yards back.\n\nIt was a much smaller carriage, and the driver was clearly seeable to Charles now. He seemed somewhat happy that he was not in the middle of the light anymore; he hurryingly turned the carriage and the horse around and started to move also in the direction of the chapel. \n\nAt this moment the driver of the first carriage started to lose interest in shouting and decided to clean himself up. As he started to calm down, the bemused passersby begun to walk back to where they were heading and Charles also turned his head back towards the power station.\n\nCharles was so busy watching the situation unfold that he didn\u2019t noticed that the passenger of the first carriage crossed the road and was now heading not towards the chapel anymore, but exactly in the other direction, towards the grey bench that Charles was sitting on.\n\nAt first Charles didn\u2019t pay any attention to just another man who was walking by. But then he noticed that calm walk of his and it hit him that this was the same passenger from the carriage.\n\n\u201cExcuse me sir?\u201d said Charles as the man closed up to the bench. \u201cYou are the gentleman from the carriage, aren\u2019t you?\u201d \u201cI saw you a minute ago, what happened?\u201d\n\nThe man stopped to walk and shared a look with Charles; he calmly sat down beside him and carried on smoking his pipe, as he was not hearing the questions Charles asked him. \n\n\u201cI do apologies for the intervention, but you must not be local, I can tell by your calmness, all the folks round here are always in a hurry\u201d Charles carried on talking as if not noticing that the man was ignoring him. \n\nAll of a sudden the weather begun to change, wind started to blow stronger and the few leaves that the tree was holding blew in the direction of the bench. The smell from the river rose up and as if that wasn\u2019t enough Charles felt like a small rain drop hit his head. He could clearly see the green water from where he was sitting through the decorations holes of the embankments fence. It was clear that it will start to rain soon by the appearing circles on the top of the river.\n\nAfter a few minutes of quietly seating by his new neighbor Charles caught himself looking at the clock on the tower, once again he saw the small arrow on 45 minutes\u2026\n\n\u201cAnd what do we pay the government for?\u201d \u201cIt would feel though they are taking our money and spend it on their fancy hats and suits, don\u2019t you find?\u201d Said Charles.\n\nAt this point the man took out the pipe into his left hand and begun to cough. After he finished coughing Charles heard him speak, at this point Charles understood that for some reason he would remember this moment for a long time to come. \n\n\u201cIt is likely to assume that they deserve to spend the money they earn\u201d Said the man, his voice was quite low and he had a certain accent Charles could quite catch.\n\n\u201cI don\u2019t think that money is of importance nowadays\u201d Said the man.\n\nCharles looked at the man with a smile - \u201cWhat is of importance? One might assume that philosophically speaking, importance can be found in nothing but what is good to us\u201d.\n\n\u201cNo body knows what can be important to others if we carry on like this, then\u2026\u201d Charles didn\u2019t finish his sentence as the man turned away from him and looked the other way. He then turned his head back and Charles noticed his eyes. His eyes were nothing like what Charles had seen before, they looked as though they were glass like and the as if they were blank, there was nothing behind them.\n\n\u201cWhat is important is that I am here now and that it is happening today. It is important to live your life because, just like your life Charles, it has an end\u201d, the man looked somewhat happy when he said that and Charles jumped back on the bench a little, he felt a small shiver run down his spine.\n\n\u201cWhat? How do you know my name sir? Have you been following me?\u201d questions were racing through Charles\u2019s mind. \n\n\u201cAs I said, this is now of importance. You life can find its end today when you get back to your gallery in your cold basement on Kinnerton street or you might listen to me and\u2026\u201d Charles didn\u2019t let the man finish his sentence. He jumped up from the bench; his cane flew within millimeters of the stranger leg as he jumped.\n\n\u201cHow dare you sir? Who gives you the right\u2026\u201d Charles raised his voice, he never allowed himself to raise his voice at a stranger beforehand.\n\n\u201cI think this conversation is over!\u201d exclaimed Charles. \u201cThat would be your choice\u201d replied the man, \u201cDo you think the time is right?\u201d \n\nCharles had already turned away in anger and was about to make his first step away. Something in the words of the man about the time made him think for a second, thoughts raced through his mind. The number 45 and the small arrow of the parliament clock were stuck in his head. \n\n\u201cI don\u2019t understand said Charles\u2026\u201d he turned his head back towards the clock; the arrow was still on 45 minutes. \u201cHow is that possible?\u201d Charles turned his head to the man, but there was no one on the bench. \n\nCharles begun to search the street rapidly with his eyes, it didn\u2019t even occur to him that it was heavily raining until that moment. \n\n
\n \n\nNow it is time to sketch the clothes, the accessories and the weapons. Notice how this si done OVER the original drawing so her leg is still flexed, inside the boot for example. That's how you get the natural look.\n\n
\n \n\nWith all this in place, it's easy but still very important part to add the finishing touches and bring her out of the page. Look alive and fierce!\n\n

+ "body": "# Is The Takeover of Crypto-Currencies About to Begin by the Central Banks?\n\nhttp://i.imgur.com/NxCYMpy.png\n([Image Source](http://www.e-corp-usa.com/ecoin/))\n\nThe show **Mr. Robot** has fictionalized the **\"Powers that Shouldn't Be\"** into a singular Corporation called **E Corp**. This E Corp is supposed to basically represent the powers behind the Global Central Bankers, the true World Rulers. The head of E Corp even states in a recent Episode \"Politicians are Puppets\", which reminds me of the quotation by Nathan Rothschild regarding the head on which the crown of England is placed. Clearly one could see that E Corp in the show is the fictionalization of the **\"Illuminati\"** if you will. The show is heavily laden with [esoteric symbolism](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2lZn-ZcJMs) but to the public it comes across as \"counter-culture\" as the main character is the founding member of **\"F Society\"** a hacking group based directly on **\"Anonymous\"**. This hacking group causes a financial crash, which leads to E Corp releasing a new digital Currency called **\"ECoin\"**, the above image is from a promotional website for the TV show. \n\n## Is Mr. Robot demonizing Crypto-Currencies? \n\nhttp://i.imgur.com/f6gXhrn.jpg\n([Image Source](http://www.serialminds.com/2015/06/05/mr-robot-la-serie-che-sta-piacendo-tutti-forse-troppo/))\n\nNow the interesting part for those fans of crypto-currencies like everyone on **Steemit** and for everyone who uses **Bitcoin**. I think the reason for they added an \"Ecoin\" in this show is to demonize crypto-currencies. The powers that shouldn't be have no way to take over these crypto-currencies so they have decided to wage information war against them. With the countless videos warning about the rise of *\"digital only currency\"* being the *\"mark of the beast\"*, one could easily see lots of propaganda has already been employed. However this new form is quite intelligent, by associating \"ECoins\" with \"E Corp\" they make the average mind (who doesn't know what Bitcoin or Steemit really is), subconsciously associate all crypto-currencies with the Federal Reserve banskters, with \"E Corp\". This is classic subconscious guilt by association created entirely by fiction that is often employed in fictional movies. This is why I think the \"E Coin\" was added to the show, but I could be wrong, so why else might it be in this show? \n\n## Do the Elite Plan to Replace the Dollar with a Digital Only Currency? \nhttp://i.imgur.com/IJJxcBR.jpg\n([Image Source](https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/why-bitcoin-value-doesnt-matter/))\n\nWe all know the financial system is basically teetering on the verge of collapse. It is the biggest ponzy scheme ever devised and like all ponzy schemes if the Federal Reserve doesn't increase demand for the use of it's currency the system will collapse. It was designed to collapse. I believe like many others for one reason, so they can start the whole process that made them so rich, all over again on a global scale. The new world order if you will, being run by financial despotism and technical autocracy. So, is their plan to create a financial collapse being shown in plain sight in this show? One idea I heard from my friend who maintains the [\"What is Real\" YouTube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/user/szymborski11) is they may \n>\"allow a false flag attack that they can blame on some shadowy hacking group, possibly even **Anonymous** itself as anyone can claim to be Anonymous\" \n\nPersonally I do not buy this theory as Anonymous is completely decentralized and would be almost impossible to blame for a false flag. However, to fully analyze a situation one must always look at every angle. \n\nSo if the system collapsed, especially overnight due to a hack, would they replace the Federal Reserve Notes with a new digital only \"E Coin\" backed by the IMF World Bank and their massive Gold Holdings, and Special Drawing Rights Holdings? The Group of Thirty, also known as the G30 reported in the [latest working papers on their website](http://group30.org/publications) that they want a return to a **GOLD Standard** just like how the Federal Reserve started out but in a new **Global Currency**. See my Documentary on the [\"Group of Thirty\"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOB9QfxsgdQ) for more on this group of 30 Central Bankers that meet in secret. So is it out of the realm of possibilities that the new Global Currency that the World Bank has planned for post the collapse of the Federal Reserve System is a new digital only currency based on Gold and SDR holdings? No this would make a lot of sense to me but what do you the readers think? \n\n## Decentralization the Key to Defeating Takeover of Crypto-Currencies by Central Banks\nhttp://i.imgur.com/KVNo7nE.jpg\n([Image Source](https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/why-bitcoin-value-doesnt-matter/))\n\nThe decentralized concept at the basis of the crypto-currencies could be the key to their survival if the Central Banks decide to try and take over the market. Right now their is a few crypto-currencies that are from the perspective of a non trader even worth mentioning. **Bitcoin**, **Ethereum**, and **STEEM**, however if the Central Banks created a new \"ECoin\" it would easily make replace Bitcoin as the number 1 crypto-currency. However, there will always be a demand for crypto-currencies that are not \"Ecoins\", because thankfully we have a whole planet full of awesome people who will never conform to the system. The useless governments will always make things illegal that people want and can't buy with their new \"Ecoins\". So we will always have a demand for a currency like Bitcoin that is not a part of the centralized system, but is outside of that system's control. So try as they might, the powers that be can only wage information war against crypto-currencies because there will always be new entrepreneurs that create new currencies just like steemit, that are outside their systems of control. The harder the hidden hand squeezes the more of us will fall through their fingertips. \n\n#### Thanks for Reading! \nhttp://i.imgur.com/k10p6Pf.jpg\nIf you liked my article please join **steemit** and let me know by leaving a comment or upvoting!

In real life they are definitely not the most pleasant thing to touch and being surrounded with.\n\nIt wasn't a surprise for me but jellyfish don't have brains. Instead, they have nerve nets which sense changes in the environment and coordinate the animal's responses.\n\nHowever if you eliminate all of the fluff that people are talking about them, you can come up with something interesting and even fun.\n\nThis drawing is created using my favorite style, I hope you'll love it.\n\nhttp://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q393/dmbaim/Art/jellyfish2_zpswbrk9ied.jpg\n\nhttp://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q393/dmbaim/Art/jellyfish3_zpsx0rcjvko.jpg\n\nhttp://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q393/dmbaim/Art/jellyfish1_zpsge408hgu.jpg\n\nhttp://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q393/dmbaim/Art/jellyfish4_zpsmctahaql.jpg\n\n***\n\n###

+ "body": "## In this episode, Joshua Claiborne stands trial for violation of the First Law ##\n\n**\u201cWhoa, whoa, whoa!\u201d Phil screamed, \u201cWhat the hell dude?\u201d**\n\n*The Reaper crumpled to the floor, arms flailing as Joshua rode it to the ground. Finally, the hands found the catches at either side of the helmet and popped it off. A black, shaggy head of hair emerged.* \n\n***If you've missed episodes, [visit my blog](https://steemit.com/@markrmorrisjr) to catch up. Be sure to follow me for updates in your feed!***\n\n\u201cEmil?\u201d Stella said, \u201cMeet Joshua. Are you okay?\u201d\n\nEmil, the Reaper suit\u2019s operator laughed, \u201cYeah, I\u2019m fine, but that was awesome! Can you teach us that?\u201d\n\n\u201cMan! Now I have to rebuild this helmet,\u201d Phil held up a small remote. \u201cAll I had to do was push this button,\u201d he said, pressing it, as the suit powered down. \u201cWhat did you do?\u201d\n\n\u201cThe \u2018nerve\u2019 bundle that controls these things motor skills is on the very top of the skull, under a thin piece of sheet metal, puncture it, it collapses. You didn\u2019t know that?\u201d Joshua said. \n\n\u201cWell, it appears we may need you more than you need us,\u201d Stella said. \u201cSo, just say the word and we\u2019ll get you where you need to be. Meanwhile, my team will be working on your son\u2019s location.\u201d\n\nJoshua dropped the letter opener and walked to the stairs, \u201cFine, whatever you need to collect from my meeting, get it. Now, who\u2019s driving?\u201d With that, he walked up the stairs, he had no more time to waste. \n\n**The Mapleton courthouse sat on a hill in the center of the town, overlooking the area around for miles.** \n\n*Joshua insisted that the team Stella had sent stop 5 miles out and allow him to ride in on the electric trike alone, while they observed the meeting from a distance.* \n\nHe carried the tiny remote in his shirt pocket, a gift from Phil. \u201cThat\u2019s my only prototype, so don\u2019t lose it,\u201d he\u2019d said. \n\n\n\nFrom the end of Main Street, looking up toward the courthouse, Joshua counted at least six reapers. He wondered how far the signal from the remote would travel. \n\nHe thought about pressing it now, disarming his enemy, then walking in, but he\u2019d still have to deal with the six drivers, if they managed to escape the suits. \n\nBesides, Stella seemed to think there was some secret they were going to give away, although Joshua couldn\u2019t imagine it. \n\n*He checked his watch, ten minutes until his scheduled time and while he knew better than to be late, he had no intention of giving the Consensus one more second than he had to.* \n\nThe trike spun it\u2019s tires on a patch of loose gravel as he started back up. He decided a quick approach was best. He charged up the hill, jumping the \u201cMayor\u2019s\u201d parking barrier and rolling up to the foot of the front stairs, he cranked the accelerator and the trike rose up on its back wheel, popping the two front wheels, over the bottom step. \n\nThe machine had more than enough power to climb the steps and Joshua skidded to a stop outside the courthouse door. He stopped and turned back toward the town, the six Reapers swarming toward him up the steps. He powered down, swung his leg up and over the bike and opened the door. \n\n**The Reapers followed him into the hall as he approached the court room.** \n\nThe Magistrate sat behind the judge\u2019s bench and Joshua couldn\u2019t help but smirk at the insult to the very concept of actual justice that this thing represented. \n\n\u201cJoshua Claiborne, appearing as requested,\u201d Joshua said, standing directly in front of the Magistrate. \n\n\n\n> \u201cYes, Mr. Claiborne, have a seat,\u201d A woman\u2019s face, projected on the face shield of the Magistrate said.\n\n\u201cI\u2019d rather stand,\u201d he said. \n\n> \u201cSuit yourself, may we have the room, please?\u201d she said, looking toward the reapers that had entered the back doors of the courtroom.\n\nThey left quietly. \n\n> \u201cMr. Claiborne, you\u2019re charged with violation of the first law, in so\n> much as you have encouraged and joined in the activity of settling\n> outside of Consensus approved areas, acted outside of the legal\n> jurisdiction of the council and on more than one occasion, acted\n> against the best interest of Consensus, including attacking duly\n> authorized Magistrates in the course of their legally binding duties,\n> how do you plead?\u201d\n\n**The woman looked at Joshua, peering over a pair of short, square spectacles, like some sort of outdated stereotype.** \n\n\u201cNot guilty, by reason of illegitimacy of the currently established government and its ensigns. I am not, nor do I choose to become, subject to your law. I stand judged as innocent by natural law, insomuch as I have not caused harm to another human in aggression, damaged or stolen property, nor unnecessarily restricted the liberty of any other person. I recognize no other responsibility to my fellow man,\u201d Joshua said calmly. \n\n> \u201cBe that as it may, Mr. Claiborne, we are not here under the auspices of \u201cnatural law\u201d but rather, under the Council mandated authority of the Consensus and its Magisterial Ministry, of which I am a part and I assure you, you are subject to,\u201d\n\nThe woman intoned, her expression one of almost sheer boredom.\n\n> \u201cCourt finds the defendant guilty and remands the subject for immediate judicial murder.\u201d\n\nThe magistrate raised its arm and brought it down on the bench with a solid thud, that echoed through the court. Joshua felt his heart sink as the Reapers reentered the court and moved up to surround him. \n\n## Look for the upvote button below. If you liked the post, upvote and share!

Often we are so focused on the goal, that we completely forget to enjoy the path.\n\nhttps://puu.sh/rbX2i/70e07ec186.png\n\nWhen we achieve the goal, we forget to enjoy it and immediately create a new goal. That is not life, this is racing with life. I am certain that you will not be happy, bur rather tired. Soul searches for the experience, while the mind and ego give signs if something is good or bad for us. Soul is completely indifferent. For the soul, every experience means celebration, while you are maybe crying because of the mind, to whom literally a lot of things does not make sense. \n\nThe same applies to the transformation called *death*. We celebrate resurrection as the greatest symbol of life, and then we are crying in the moment of someone's death. The mind is strange, isn't it?\n\nhttps://puu.sh/rbX1U/3cc83557c6.png\n\nRelax. It doesn't matter where you are in your level of expansion, you can't miss the road to home. While you are breathing, you are on the right track. Try to accept this moment as a moment in which there is no goal, and there is no end. The game never ends. This is excellent news. We came here to play, not to win. The game ends with victory, and God's Child in us still wants to play.\n\nOne beautiful wisdom reminds us: *\"Everything will be fine. If it isn't fine, then it isn't the end.\"* You always have the chance for new choices. This is very important to understand. You shouldn't hate the process just because you are not on your imaginary goal. You trust the process. You are exactly where your soul wants you to be. Don't let your mind tell you any different. \n\nhttps://puu.sh/rbXjG/ea493b7d14.png\n\nEverything is always a matter of the focus on things you have instead of the things you are missing. Today, again you are taking for granted the things that once were a goal. You forget to enjoy. Time is only an illusion of the mind. What if that is the point that you current process wants to teach you? If time is illusion, and it is, what's the hurry?\n\nhttps://puu.sh/rbWSn/313549d802.png\n\nTake a deep breath in and out. Experience life in the breath. The only goal is hiding in the breath of life. Everything is good, just the way it is. Don't forget that nothing ever happens without the God's blessing. Don't forget that you are guided. And, the most important, don't forget that we would most certainly go wrong if we'd try to determine what is the best time for us. The one who sees the big picture knows where you're headed and where you want to arrive.\n\nhttps://puu.sh/rbWLA/86e34b50b7.png\n\nTrust the process. It is the true test of our faith and wisdom. And enjoy. Without it nothing makes sense, right?\nThe sentence that many repeat in the end of the road: *\"I should've enjoyed more!\"*\n\nAll our life is a mere blink of an eye in the eternity. It is too small for such amount of worry. The life is not a serious thing, just the opposite. Life is the experience game. The point is not in the destination. The journey is our only destination. Isn't it then wiser to enjoy right away?\n\nhttps://puu.sh/rbX8F/2ea42f6dc9.png\n\n*\"Success isn't measured by money or material things.*\n*Success is measured by the amount of joy you feel.\"*\n\nFor more awesome images check this guy: [Psychedelic Maniac](thepsychedelicmaniac.tumblr.com)",

My entire life, I knew however things shook out, I\u2019d eventually be making comic books as a career. At 36, I\u2019m later to the party than I originally anticipated, but I\u2019ve had three decades to prepare for this! I remember as a kid, just being enamored with comic book art [\u2026and still am]. For years, I\u2019d draw these snake characters during class with my friend Neal. Just page after endless page of snakes killing each other. The kind of gratuitous fantasy violence that defines weirdos in high school.
\n
Eventually, photography took over my life, but I still read comics, thought about comics and drew comics when I managed to make time. A couple years ago I began stringing together a story for a comic called THEIA. A sci-fi conspiracy story rooted in the real world, based on actual science. I learned how to format full script for comics and graphic novels [\u2026you can read the finished THEIA script in my previous blog, \u201cFull script of THEIA sci-fi comic book! Exclusively on Steemit!\u201d]. This was a big divergence than my hack and slash snake comics with Neal [\u2026who\u2019s stories progressed with each turn of the page, like a Miyazaki film, but really horrible].
\n
\n
It was during the process of writing the first draft for THEIA that I realized all these years I\u2019ve been so drawn to comics, the real allure for me was story telling and character creation, even more than great art. I\u2019ve been creating comics my entire life, and thus, creating characters along the way. Once I began disciplining myself with taking writing more seriously, I discovered other helpful tools to aide in the creation process. I began taking inventories, outlining in depth documentation of each characters lives, affiliations and personalities.
\n
Character profiles are something I\u2019ve done for 20 years. I mimicked my favorite fantasy artists like Gerald Brom, Boris Vallejo and the one and only, Frank Frazetta. I\u2019d seen pencil sketches of their concept designs with monsters, heroes and heroines, and just did my best to emulate them. I used to draw the typical front, side, three-quarter and head sketches as a reference bible [\u2026granted, much easier when it was just snakes].
\n
\n
I\u2019ve been enjoying a renaissance of creativity since committing to doing comics full time, and character creation is where I spend most of my time. THEIA is still my priority as I have an active Patreon campaign and those pledging support are doing so for that particular title. I do, however, have two other stories I\u2019m developing which are currently knee deep in the character creation process. A Bukowski-esk pulp crime genre during the late 80\u2019s following a private investigator throughout his struggle with sobriety in Queens, NY.
\n
\n
The other is a dark ghost story taking place in the mid-1800\u2019s, surrounding a recently deceased, troubled soul that finds himself caught between the realm of the living, and the afterlife; unable to pass for fear of judgement after a life of heinous acts. The characters in this story were inspired by my most interesting friends, and obscure tales of macabre lore during the industrial revolution and the Southwestern US history.
\n
I wish I was further along in my pursuit of story telling, world building and character creation. I wish I had decades of experience to share here on Steemit. I don\u2019t want to come across like I\u2019m the authority on these complex, disciplined skills; I\u2019ve only been seriously absorbing the art for a couple of years. I imagine, however, there are quite a few new writers, artists and creators here, navigating their own discoveries and process. With that in mind, [and in the spirit of all the things that makes Steemit great for me personally] here a few techniques I use to further my writing and a few resources I\u2019ve found helpful in house, right here on Steemit.
\n
\u2022 Real-life Inspiration: As mentioned, take inspiration from people in life. Friends, or even family. Accentuate the personalities. Exaggerate the quirks or circumstances. For me personally, it\u2019s a big help to to have someone in mind when drawing, and developing a character.
\n
\u2022 Character Inventories: Write up an involved character inventory [\u2026sometimes called a character bible]. A reference of everything you can imagine that defines that character. Their ethnicity, background, where they were born, how old they are, where they went to college, their diet, etc. It\u2019s tedious if you\u2019re working on a character heavy story with a big \u201ccast\u201d, but it pays dividends. Once you have those inventories, you can stick characters in situations and the story literally writes itself. If you have a character that\u2019s a passionate vegan, you can immediately come up with dozens of possibilities if they were accidentally locked in a butcher\u2019s freezer. Same with politics, religious, social issues. It really unloads much of the burden of dreaming up a brilliant scene.

\u2022 Name Generators: Name generators are something I rely on quite a bit. There are many available online. They\u2019re usually free, and they\u2019re a great place to launch in to naming a character. Often times, once you have a name, more of the personality and background unfolds organically. www.seventhsanctum.com has an excellent list of name generators tailored specifically for several genres and character types.
\n
\u2022 Research: This is one of those things that seems obvious, but I challenge you to go deeper. For my ghost story, I started researching life in the mid-1800\u2019s in the Southwest and Dust Bowl of the United States. As I dug through historical sites, I found some of the events of that time. A few hours in, I read about droughts and plagues, which would have been rich content for a story, but going even deeper, I read about these crazy grasshopper plagues! Even deeper, I found accounts of specific families and individuals that described enormous clouds of locusts that swept through their homes and ate everything, including the clothes off their bodies! I encourage you to obsessively push through references, way past where most people would get their first idea and start writing. Beyond that is where you\u2019re going to unearth something truly unique and memorable. I\u2019ve already written a treatment for this epic locust plague in my ghost story [\u2026sort of nervous about what that\u2019s going to be like to draw, though].

\u2022 Don\u2019t Lose The Magic: For me, the magic happens in the moments before I fall asleep. Without fail, that\u2019s where I get my best, originally ideas. Sometimes it\u2019s just a small line a dialog. Other times it\u2019s as vague as a plot point. It\u2019s a tough discipline to wake yourself up and write it down, but that [\u2026for me] is where the magic happens. It\u2019s invaluable, and worth the trouble of having to fall back asleep. I jot things down in the Notes app of my phone. I have some friends that just wake up and make audio recordings. You might get your best ideas during different times. Sometimes I have brilliant moments on long drives. Either way, document it! You\u2019ll be glad you did.
\n
Honestly, Steemit has been a revolution for me as well. Since the platform is incentivized, there is a tremendous wealth of references on writing, drawing, how-to\u2019s. Beyond that, I spent much of my time reading and curating novels and short stories posted by the authors bringing their work to the site. Just this morning, I found a comprehensive article by @jamielefay titled \u201cSteemit and the future of book publishing\u201d. Everything here, totally relevant if you\u2019re creating comics or graphic novels.
\n
\n
Keep writing, creating and sharing! More work from my comic, THIEA, and other stories to come. I\u2019d love feedback and constructive criticism.

\n\nIn past issues, we\u2019ve documented increasingly concerned billionaires warning of dangerous economic times. Many have favored gold as an alternative allocation in a world where $13 trillion-worth of debt is negative yielding, interest rates are artificially suppressed and we\u2019re on the brink of major wars.\n\nThe newest addition to this gold-loving billionaire's club, is none other than hedge-fund manager Paul Singer. At CNBC\u2019s Delivering Alpha Investors Conference this week, the founder of the $27-billion Elliott Management Fund, the 17th largest hedge fund in the world, mentioned that at current prices gold is \u201cundervalued\u201d and \u201cunderrepresented in many portfolios as the only ... store of value that has stood the test of time.\u201d\n\nSinger, along with numerous other hedge-fund managers, has been increasingly outspoken in his criticism of the Federal Reserve and other central banks for creating dangers in the market unlike any in what he terms the \u201c5,000 year-ish\u201d history of finance. Singer noted that \u201cit's a very dangerous time in the global economy and global financial markets.\"\n\nThis quote is frighteningly similar to the response given by Donald Trump on Fox Business not long ago when he was asked if he had money in the market. He answered, \u201cI did, but I got out,\u201d and then went on to say that he expected \u201cvery scary scenarios\u201d for investors.\n\nSinger also stated that he thinks owning medium- to long-term first world debt is a \u201creally bad idea\u201d... and then proceeded to tell listeners to sell their 30-year bonds.\n\nEarlier in the conference, prior to Singer, Ray Dalio who is the manager of the largest hedge fund in the world, Bridgewater Capital, was also vocal about the diminishing returns provided by government debt held by central banks. \u201cThere\u2019s only so much you can squeeze out of the debt cycle,\" he said. He went on to say that central banks are at a point now where their ability to stimulate is limited.\n\nSeated next to Dalio was Former Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner who voiced concern about limited \u201ctools in the keynesian arsenal,\u201d that probably wouldn\u2019t be enough to offset the next recession.\n\nGeithner obviously believes that a recession is on the way. Dalio and Singer are trying to convey the same message. A massive crunch is looming.\n\nWe agree with them, although we believe Geithner was sugarcoating what\u2019s to come.\n\nAfter all, we are on the precipice of a crash of biblical proportions according to the former chief economist of the Bank for International Settlements, William White.\n\nWe have mentioned his quote numerous time here at TDV but feel it\u2019s important to reiterate because of its magnitude: \u201cThe only question is whether we are able to look reality in the eye and face what is coming in an orderly fashion, or whether it will be disorderly. Debt jubilees have been going on for 5,000 years, as far back as the Sumerians.\u201d\n\nAs the Fed considers its second rate hike in 10 years, Singer condemned policy-makers for acting with \u201camazing arrogance\u201d when he and others had warned of a mortgage crisis prior to 2008.\n\nWhat he and those who agreed with his stance don\u2019t know, or at least won\u2019t state publicly, is that these shoddy central bank policies are detrimental by design. In other words, their sole purpose is to destabilize the world economy.\n\nThis deliberate market sabotage is necessary for the transference of power from the more developed nations to less developed ones. Ultimately, the idea is to eliminate smaller regional and national central banks. Once things get bad enough, these smaller banks will be blamed for provoking a given crisis. And, secondarily, the end goal is to blow up the entire system in order to bring in the one world government and central bank.\n\nThe elites have used the same tactics time and time again throughout history. First, they create the problem, then there is a reaction, and then finally they come swooping in to \u201cvaliantly save\u201d the day. It's happened numerous times before.\n
\nAnd it will soon happen again.\n\nOf course, the globalists have demonstrated that every intervention only makes situations worse.\n\nWe reported on the blatant thievery going on at Wells Fargo in our last article and noted how the elites were probably laughing hysterically at what they\u2019re able to get away with. They were even able to convince many younger American voters that \u201cdemocratic socialism\u201d would be their savior, as seen by the significant, youthful support for Bernie Slanders. Debt and currency crises have already started to materialize, as we\u2019ve seen in the socialist utopia that is Venezuela. If this is any indication of what\u2019s to come, the future is looking awfully gloomy.\n\nAs Singer and others including Dalio have mentioned before, the most tried and true measure of wealth and value is gold.\n\nAt TDV we provide unique Austrian-economics based analysis from the anarcho-capitalist pespective of the state of the world\u2019s economy, as well as suggestions on how to protect your assets in these tempestuous and unprecedented times.\n\nJacob Rothschild, a member of the family partly responsible for the creation of all this chaos, even said himself that we are in \u201cuncharted waters\u201d and that it\u2019s \u201cimpossible to predict the unintended consequences of very low interest rates.\u201d\n\nWe have a pretty good idea of what the consequences will be and we\u2019re taking action to protect ourselves and even profit from them. Rothschild seems to know the consequences, as well, as he has been buying up gold and selling the stock market and the US dollar.\n\nYou can survive and profit from the orchestrated collapse too. Subscribe to TDV\u2019s newsletter here to receive constantly updated information on how to protect your family and friends.\n\nIn the end, it is getting truly bizarre just how many billionaires, central bankers and others of note are all warning of the coming collapse. We\u2019d almost begun to worry that they were going to pull a switch-a-roo on us, but if you asked the great majority of investors and financial analysts, they\u2019ll tell you that they see nothing but smooth sailing ahead.\n\nSo, while many are warning, many are hearing, but not listening. The bible said something about that, I believe.\n
The museum I work at is unique because we showcase animals that are native to Virginia -- meaning that these are animals people will find close to home, rather than across the ocean in some distant country. This makes my job more crucial in that I am responsible for educating people about the reptiles and amphibians that they will find in their own backyards. And obviously, there\u2019s one group of reptiles that gives people more pause than almost any other animal . . . .
I do public programs featuring snakes quite frequently. I believe people should know how to identify local venomous/non-venomous snakes, their role in the environment and how to deal with them when they are in close proximity to our homes. Usually, I get eager audiences asking great questions. But, every now and then, I get some idiot who tells me, \u201cI saw that same snake in my backyard! I chopped off its head with a shovel!\u201d
\n
Are they an idiot for killing the snake? Not necessarily . . . I don\u2019t know the situation behind the encounter. But, only an idiot would walk into a wildlife facility, approach a zoo keeper and proudly declare that they kill the very same animals that the keeper is charged with the care for. Would you walk into an animal shelter and tell someone working there that you enjoy stomping on puppies? To us, there\u2019s not much difference\u2026
The best we can do in these situations is to try to educate people. This can be difficult because so many people are set in their ways -- plus we have to combat an instinctive fear and prejudice against snakes. So, I\u2019m going to briefly lay it all out for you and tell you \"Why you shouldn\u2019t kill that snake in your yard.\"
1. It\u2019s ILLEGAL in most states to kill a wild snake, unless that snake presents an IMMEDIATE threat. And no, a snake crawling through your yard does not represent a good enough excuse to use force. We\u2019re talking about a situation where a venomous snake is about to strike and you have no escape route but to fight your way out. And guess what, that really doesn\u2019t ever happen (barring instances where someone purposefully provokes an animal). Wildlife and law enforcement agencies are cracking down on people killing snakes, so it\u2019s better to keep yourself out of trouble.
2. You are putting yourself in harm\u2019s way. The vast majority of snake bites occur when people attempt to capture or kill snakes. If left alone, the snake CANNOT hurt you. Call wildlife services or trained professionals to remove the animal.
3. It\u2019s an incredibly beneficial animal, and you\u2019d be foolish to kill it. Small snakes eat a huge variety of pest insects that destroy gardens, while large snakes typically feed on rats and other rodents that infest our homes. If you see a large snake hanging around, you have a rodent problem; snakes will not hang around if there is no food source. To keep snakes from being attracted to your property, do your best to remove any shelter or food sources that would attract rodents. Some snakes even eat other snakes, and species like the harmless king snake will even feed on venomous species!
4. Another snake might show up. Snakes will not typically inhabit the same area in order to avoid competition. If you kill that harmless rat snake, but you still have a food source nearby, another snake may move in to make use of that source. The new snake may be another harmless species or something a bit less desirable. So why not let that harmless snake take care of the infestation for you?
Having a snake around can be hugely beneficial to you. It is a free, environmentally-safe form of pest control. Snakes, including venomous species, are non-aggressive animals (unless you provoke them) that will actively do their best to AVOID people. A resident snake will often go unnoticed by homeowners, and most encounters are fleeting glimpses of the snake making a hasty escape. Remember that snakes have their own unique role in the environment, and regardless of our own fears and feelings towards them, they are a necessary part of life.

+ "body": "[](https://postimg.org/image/5bg38xjjr/)\n\nThe day I went to prison I published an article Bitcoin for Prison. While I didn't get to read or see the article until someone mailed me a physical copy, I found out that my article had started a number of discussions and follow-on commentary.\n\nDuring my stay at Lewisburg Federal Prison Camp I observed many economic theories put into effect by inmates and the prison administration, including Gresham's law, hyperinflation, currency exchange, and others.\n\nThere are two markets in prison, the \"Administration Run Market\" (ARM) and the \"Inmate Run Market\" (IRM). \n\nFor the ARM, family and friends can add money to your account through Western Union, MoneyGram, or mailing a check. These funds get added to your account fairly quickly and can be used almost immediately, however with a strict spending limit. You get 300 minutes of phone use per month for about $70, and email costs about $0.05 a minute and is only available at specific times to specific people. Once a week you can shop in the commissary with a $360 a month spending limit. Further, certain products have limits of how much you can buy, for example the Mackerel (described below). Alternatively, the IRM is where you can buy sandwiches, wraps, pizzas, Italian ices, hire a personal trainer, get a haircut, pay someone to clean your cube, repair a watch, even inmate run caterers for your birthday or going home party. Additionally there were inmate run 'stores' which sold commissary items at a markup since you could only commissary shop once a week.\n\n[](https://postimg.org/image/iu6qq6eb9/)\n\nThe Mackerel (meaning literal packets of fish) is one of the competing currencies in the IRM. It has utility by being one of the best sources of protein on the compound. You can save it for a long time, the shelf life is a few years. The price is relatively the same across all prisons in the country, so even if you transfer prisons your property comes with you, including your Mackerel which is worth the same somewhere else. Unlike tunafish, chicken packets and protein bars, more people eat Mackerel. Those other food items can be used as currency as well, for example the guy who fixes your watch may only accept protein bars because he hates fish. There was even a form of digital currency being used, which I will discuss in another post.\n\n[](https://postimg.org/image/nfj3tkh87/)\n\nUtility and medium of exchange give it some value but what about scarcity ? If there is a virtually unlimited amount of Mackerel in the IRM, just like the Federal Reserve printing money, there is no scarcity and hyperinflation can occure if it is debased. \n\nUsing a simple equation, 467 (Number of Inmates) * 14 (Maximum Quantity Allowed to Purchase Per Inmate) * 52 (weeks, assuming every inmate buys the maximum mount of Mackerel every week)\n\nSo if in 2015 we assume that the Supply and Velocity grows at the exact same rate with the Price Level and Transactions unchanging, the amount of Mackerel would essentially double on an even inflation rate. This does not factor in the 3 year shelf life, where expired Mackerel becomes a secondary currency. I will discuss in my next post. \n\nI like to believe that the value of money is determined also psychological factors, like a commodity and not only by mechanical or mathematical factors. In prison many of these psychological factors come into play.\n\n[](https://postimg.org/image/ceiwrfinr/)\n\nMost people use Mackerel as a day-to-day currency for normal transactions, but for reasons I will explain in my next post, they are not the best long term store of value which is important for a currency. For longer term store of value, many inmates use stamps. Stamps have a set rate by the United States Postal Service and have similar characteristics as Mackerel aside for being edible. However, with the introduction of email on the compound many people stopped writing letters as email is cheaper and faster therefore reducing stamps ability to be a transactional currency as a majority of the inmates have no use for them. As a store of value they still hold weight because they are small and easy to store large amounts, while Mackerel is not.\n\nThe biggest value stamps have is that they can be mailed home and your family can redeem them for dollars as the local post office, but that feature can be stopped by better mail screening and overnight the stamp could lose its store of value utility. \n\nIn my next post I will discuss how currency exchangers work, what happens when the prison administration purposely floods the market, and how a secondary currency was created out of expired Mackerel called \u201cMoney Maks\u201d",

Good afternoon Steemit, I am officially done breast feeding and am ready to get rid of the last few pounds that are still hanging on from my pregnancy so I have been trying out different ways to cut calories from my diet without loosing flavor. Spaghetti squash is a great substitute for pasta or in this case rice. Spaghetti squash has about 40 calories per cup while rice has upwards of 200. It also has fiber, potassium and vitamins A and C.
\n
For chicken:
\n
\n
1lb chicken breast
\n
1 tsp ancho chili
\n
1 tbs olive oil
\n
1 lime (juice and zest)
\n
1 tsp minced garlic
\n
\n
For squash:
\n
\n
1 spaghetti squash (cut in half length wise and seeds removed)
\n
1 tsp olive oil
\n
salt and pepper to taste
\n
\n
Preheat oven to 425F. In a baking dish, sprinkle chicken with ancho chili. Mix together oil, lime zest and juice and garlic. Pour mixture over chicken. Drizzle olive oil over squash and season with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on baking sheet. Bake a together for 30 min. Shred squash with a fork and put in the bottom of bowls. Shred chicken with forks and put on top of squash. I added cheese, salsa and guacamole to ours but you can top with anything you like. Enjoy!
\n\n## Introduction\n[Project Curie](https://steemit.com/steemit/@donkeypong/announcing-project-curie-bringing-rewards-and-recognition-to-steemit-s-undiscovered-and-emerging-authors) is a community project run by several Steemit authors. Its mission is to help reward content creators who are posting great original content, yet who have not yet become established. In the short time since Curie began, our writers group has partnered with @nextgencrypto and other whale accounts to bring rewards to these deserving authors. *Writers, artists, chefs, photographers, videographers, and many others have been recognized by these rewards.*\n\nEach day, the members of our Project will publish this list of the posts that Project Curie has chosen to reward recently. We hope that this list will provide more positive exposure to the authors we have selected. Also, it is an effort for us to be more transparent about which posts are being rewarded. We hope that you will consider following not only this @curie account, but also many of the authors whose work is featured here each day. **Please consider adding your comments on these posts also!**\n\nProject Curie's daily curation lists will now be called \"The Daily Curie\". We hope you like the name! Future editions of The Daily Curie will [feature our new logo](https://steemit.com/curie/@kevinwong/logo-contest-for-project-curie-contest-process-and-winners-announcement). For the latest on Project Curie, do check out our [Month #1 update](https://steemit.com/curie/@curie/special-edition-major-updates-and-project-curie-month-1-roundup-12-august-11-september-2016). \n\n----------------------\n\n## Today's Brief Analysis\n\nToday's list polls all posts curated between 17:00 14/09 UTC and 17:00 15/09 UTC. Project Curie voted on a total of **103 posts** by 99 unique authors. **SBD 3,832** has been generated for authors thus far, at an average of SBD 37 per post. \n\n----------------------\n| Author | Post | Payout |\n| --------- | ---------- | --------- |\n| [@faddat](https://steemit.com/@faddat) | [[SYSTEMS GEEK SERIES] Roll your own Docker Platform: Faster and cheaper than the cloud, more rebellious than legal weed!](https://steemit.com/beyondbitcoin/@faddat/roll-your-own-docker-platform-faster-and-cheaper-than-the-cloud-more-rebellious-than-legal-weed) | 616.681 SBD |\n| [@rampant](https://steemit.com/@rampant) | [Steemit Daily Drawing Tutorial - Gesture drawings (plus tool)](https://steemit.com/art/@rampant/steemit-daily-drawing-tutorial-gesture-drawings-plus-tool) | 215.310 SBD |\n| [@shenanigator](https://steemit.com/@shenanigator) | [Doing the Right Thing Will Get You Fired.

\n\n__________________________________\n\n**Chapter ONE**\n\nIt seemed as nothing was different in yet another cold and slightly windy London evening. The smog from the river was rising up as usual and the chilly wind would bring the smell up to the embankment, where Charles was taking a rest, sitting down on his favorite bench. \n\nFrom here he could see the might of the power station from across the river and something was special in the way those chimneys threw out the smoke onto the city. \n\nHe just finished his walk along his usual route, walking amongst the cemetery outside the chapel. It always amused him; that mix of emotion and sorrow amongst the busy city people, especially during the busy afternoon hours.\n\nThat rusty smell kept mixing with up with the light freshness of the leaves from the tree nearby Charles\u2019s bench. As he threw a brief glimpse onto the clock on the parliament building he noticed that the small arrow was on 45 minutes\u2026 \n\nSuddenly he heard a murmur of horses; he turned his head before he could finish realizing what time it was. He saw that just a few yards up the road two horse carriages didn\u2019t manage to share the drive way. \n\n
\n\nOne of the coachmen was shouting something and angrily waving his hands. Charles was able to see from here that the coachmen\u2019s grey clothing was partially covered in dirt, probably from the splash of the puddles from underneath the wheels. \n\nThe coachmen kept shouting something, Charles was unable to see the second carriage from where he was sitting, but was able to see some passersby, that starting to gather around the incident.\n\nIt was obvious that, just like him, those people had nothing better to do on this late afternoon then to watch in amusement the accident in the middle of the avenue.\n\nJust as Charles was starting to lose interest in the whole situation, the door of the cab that Charles could see, opened and a man dressed in a black suit and holding a pipe stepped out. He calmly put his hand in the upper inner pocket of the suit and pulled out some coins. The man made two steps up to driver and handed him the coins. At this moment the driver stopped shouting for a moment and it was clear from the look on his face that he was confused. \n\nThe cab driver counted the coins and said something to the man in the suit, the passenger didn\u2019t answer. He turned around and started to walk in the direction of the chapel. The cab driver clearly wasn\u2019t happy. He started to shout once again, but this time at the passenger. While the cab driver turned his attention to the passenger, Charles noticed how the second carriage that was involved in the accident managed to move a few yards back.\n\nIt was a much smaller carriage, and the driver was clearly seeable to Charles now. He seemed somewhat happy that he was not in the middle of the light anymore; he hurryingly turned the carriage and the horse around and started to move also in the direction of the chapel. \n\nAt this moment the driver of the first carriage started to lose interest in shouting and decided to clean himself up. As he started to calm down, the bemused passersby begun to walk back to where they were heading and Charles also turned his head back towards the power station.\n\nCharles was so busy watching the situation unfold that he didn\u2019t noticed that the passenger of the first carriage crossed the road and was now heading not towards the chapel anymore, but exactly in the other direction, towards the grey bench that Charles was sitting on.\n\nAt first Charles didn\u2019t pay any attention to just another man who was walking by. But then he noticed that calm walk of his and it hit him that this was the same passenger from the carriage.\n\n\u201cExcuse me sir?\u201d said Charles as the man closed up to the bench. \u201cYou are the gentleman from the carriage, aren\u2019t you?\u201d \u201cI saw you a minute ago, what happened?\u201d\n\nThe man stopped to walk and shared a look with Charles; he calmly sat down beside him and carried on smoking his pipe, as he was not hearing the questions Charles asked him. \n\n\u201cI do apologies for the intervention, but you must not be local, I can tell by your calmness, all the folks round here are always in a hurry\u201d Charles carried on talking as if not noticing that the man was ignoring him. \n\nAll of a sudden the weather begun to change, wind started to blow stronger and the few leaves that the tree was holding blew in the direction of the bench. The smell from the river rose up and as if that wasn\u2019t enough Charles felt like a small rain drop hit his head. He could clearly see the green water from where he was sitting through the decorations holes of the embankments fence. It was clear that it will start to rain soon by the appearing circles on the top of the river.\n\nAfter a few minutes of quietly seating by his new neighbor Charles caught himself looking at the clock on the tower, once again he saw the small arrow on 45 minutes\u2026\n\n\u201cAnd what do we pay the government for?\u201d \u201cIt would feel though they are taking our money and spend it on their fancy hats and suits, don\u2019t you find?\u201d Said Charles.\n\nAt this point the man took out the pipe into his left hand and begun to cough. After he finished coughing Charles heard him speak, at this point Charles understood that for some reason he would remember this moment for a long time to come. \n\n\u201cIt is likely to assume that they deserve to spend the money they earn\u201d Said the man, his voice was quite low and he had a certain accent Charles could quite catch.\n\n\u201cI don\u2019t think that money is of importance nowadays\u201d Said the man.\n\nCharles looked at the man with a smile - \u201cWhat is of importance? One might assume that philosophically speaking, importance can be found in nothing but what is good to us\u201d.\n\n\u201cNo body knows what can be important to others if we carry on like this, then\u2026\u201d Charles didn\u2019t finish his sentence as the man turned away from him and looked the other way. He then turned his head back and Charles noticed his eyes. His eyes were nothing like what Charles had seen before, they looked as though they were glass like and the as if they were blank, there was nothing behind them.\n\n\u201cWhat is important is that I am here now and that it is happening today. It is important to live your life because, just like your life Charles, it has an end\u201d, the man looked somewhat happy when he said that and Charles jumped back on the bench a little, he felt a small shiver run down his spine.\n\n\u201cWhat? How do you know my name sir? Have you been following me?\u201d questions were racing through Charles\u2019s mind. \n\n\u201cAs I said, this is now of importance. You life can find its end today when you get back to your gallery in your cold basement on Kinnerton street or you might listen to me and\u2026\u201d Charles didn\u2019t let the man finish his sentence. He jumped up from the bench; his cane flew within millimeters of the stranger leg as he jumped.\n\n\u201cHow dare you sir? Who gives you the right\u2026\u201d Charles raised his voice, he never allowed himself to raise his voice at a stranger beforehand.\n\n\u201cI think this conversation is over!\u201d exclaimed Charles. \u201cThat would be your choice\u201d replied the man, \u201cDo you think the time is right?\u201d \n\nCharles had already turned away in anger and was about to make his first step away. Something in the words of the man about the time made him think for a second, thoughts raced through his mind. The number 45 and the small arrow of the parliament clock were stuck in his head. \n\n\u201cI don\u2019t understand said Charles\u2026\u201d he turned his head back towards the clock; the arrow was still on 45 minutes. \u201cHow is that possible?\u201d Charles turned his head to the man, but there was no one on the bench. \n\nCharles begun to search the street rapidly with his eyes, it didn\u2019t even occur to him that it was heavily raining until that moment. \n\n
\n \n\nNow it is time to sketch the clothes, the accessories and the weapons. Notice how this si done OVER the original drawing so her leg is still flexed, inside the boot for example. That's how you get the natural look.\n\n
\n \n\nWith all this in place, it's easy but still very important part to add the finishing touches and bring her out of the page. Look alive and fierce!\n\n

+ "body": "# Is The Takeover of Crypto-Currencies About to Begin by the Central Banks?\n\nhttp://i.imgur.com/NxCYMpy.png\n([Image Source](http://www.e-corp-usa.com/ecoin/))\n\nThe show **Mr. Robot** has fictionalized the **\"Powers that Shouldn't Be\"** into a singular Corporation called **E Corp**. This E Corp is supposed to basically represent the powers behind the Global Central Bankers, the true World Rulers. The head of E Corp even states in a recent Episode \"Politicians are Puppets\", which reminds me of the quotation by Nathan Rothschild regarding the head on which the crown of England is placed. Clearly one could see that E Corp in the show is the fictionalization of the **\"Illuminati\"** if you will. The show is heavily laden with [esoteric symbolism](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2lZn-ZcJMs) but to the public it comes across as \"counter-culture\" as the main character is the founding member of **\"F Society\"** a hacking group based directly on **\"Anonymous\"**. This hacking group causes a financial crash, which leads to E Corp releasing a new digital Currency called **\"ECoin\"**, the above image is from a promotional website for the TV show. \n\n## Is Mr. Robot demonizing Crypto-Currencies? \n\nhttp://i.imgur.com/f6gXhrn.jpg\n([Image Source](http://www.serialminds.com/2015/06/05/mr-robot-la-serie-che-sta-piacendo-tutti-forse-troppo/))\n\nNow the interesting part for those fans of crypto-currencies like everyone on **Steemit** and for everyone who uses **Bitcoin**. I think the reason for they added an \"Ecoin\" in this show is to demonize crypto-currencies. The powers that shouldn't be have no way to take over these crypto-currencies so they have decided to wage information war against them. With the countless videos warning about the rise of *\"digital only currency\"* being the *\"mark of the beast\"*, one could easily see lots of propaganda has already been employed. However this new form is quite intelligent, by associating \"ECoins\" with \"E Corp\" they make the average mind (who doesn't know what Bitcoin or Steemit really is), subconsciously associate all crypto-currencies with the Federal Reserve banskters, with \"E Corp\". This is classic subconscious guilt by association created entirely by fiction that is often employed in fictional movies. This is why I think the \"E Coin\" was added to the show, but I could be wrong, so why else might it be in this show? \n\n## Do the Elite Plan to Replace the Dollar with a Digital Only Currency? \nhttp://i.imgur.com/IJJxcBR.jpg\n([Image Source](https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/why-bitcoin-value-doesnt-matter/))\n\nWe all know the financial system is basically teetering on the verge of collapse. It is the biggest ponzy scheme ever devised and like all ponzy schemes if the Federal Reserve doesn't increase demand for the use of it's currency the system will collapse. It was designed to collapse. I believe like many others for one reason, so they can start the whole process that made them so rich, all over again on a global scale. The new world order if you will, being run by financial despotism and technical autocracy. So, is their plan to create a financial collapse being shown in plain sight in this show? One idea I heard from my friend who maintains the [\"What is Real\" YouTube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/user/szymborski11) is they may \n>\"allow a false flag attack that they can blame on some shadowy hacking group, possibly even **Anonymous** itself as anyone can claim to be Anonymous\" \n\nPersonally I do not buy this theory as Anonymous is completely decentralized and would be almost impossible to blame for a false flag. However, to fully analyze a situation one must always look at every angle. \n\nSo if the system collapsed, especially overnight due to a hack, would they replace the Federal Reserve Notes with a new digital only \"E Coin\" backed by the IMF World Bank and their massive Gold Holdings, and Special Drawing Rights Holdings? The Group of Thirty, also known as the G30 reported in the [latest working papers on their website](http://group30.org/publications) that they want a return to a **GOLD Standard** just like how the Federal Reserve started out but in a new **Global Currency**. See my Documentary on the [\"Group of Thirty\"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOB9QfxsgdQ) for more on this group of 30 Central Bankers that meet in secret. So is it out of the realm of possibilities that the new Global Currency that the World Bank has planned for post the collapse of the Federal Reserve System is a new digital only currency based on Gold and SDR holdings? No this would make a lot of sense to me but what do you the readers think? \n\n## Decentralization the Key to Defeating Takeover of Crypto-Currencies by Central Banks\nhttp://i.imgur.com/KVNo7nE.jpg\n([Image Source](https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/why-bitcoin-value-doesnt-matter/))\n\nThe decentralized concept at the basis of the crypto-currencies could be the key to their survival if the Central Banks decide to try and take over the market. Right now their is a few crypto-currencies that are from the perspective of a non trader even worth mentioning. **Bitcoin**, **Ethereum**, and **STEEM**, however if the Central Banks created a new \"ECoin\" it would easily make replace Bitcoin as the number 1 crypto-currency. However, there will always be a demand for crypto-currencies that are not \"Ecoins\", because thankfully we have a whole planet full of awesome people who will never conform to the system. The useless governments will always make things illegal that people want and can't buy with their new \"Ecoins\". So we will always have a demand for a currency like Bitcoin that is not a part of the centralized system, but is outside of that system's control. So try as they might, the powers that be can only wage information war against crypto-currencies because there will always be new entrepreneurs that create new currencies just like steemit, that are outside their systems of control. The harder the hidden hand squeezes the more of us will fall through their fingertips. \n\n#### Thanks for Reading! \nhttp://i.imgur.com/k10p6Pf.jpg\nIf you liked my article please join **steemit** and let me know by leaving a comment or upvoting!

+ "body": "Jellyfish is a perfect example of one of the weirdest creatures out there. In real life they are definitely not the most pleasant thing to touch and being surrounded with.\n\nIt wasn't a surprise for me but jellyfish don't have brains. Instead, they have nerve nets which sense changes in the environment and coordinate the animal's responses.\n\nHowever if you eliminate all of the fluff that people are talking about them, you can come up with something interesting and even fun.\n\nThis drawing is created using my favorite style, I hope you'll love it.\n\nhttp://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q393/dmbaim/Art/jellyfish2_zpswbrk9ied.jpg\n\nhttp://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q393/dmbaim/Art/jellyfish3_zpsx0rcjvko.jpg\n\nhttp://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q393/dmbaim/Art/jellyfish1_zpsge408hgu.jpg\n\nhttp://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q393/dmbaim/Art/jellyfish4_zpsmctahaql.jpg\n\n***\n\n###

+ "body": "## In this episode, Joshua Claiborne stands trial for violation of the First Law ##\n\n**\u201cWhoa, whoa, whoa!\u201d Phil screamed, \u201cWhat the hell dude?\u201d**\n\n*The Reaper crumpled to the floor, arms flailing as Joshua rode it to the ground. Finally, the hands found the catches at either side of the helmet and popped it off. A black, shaggy head of hair emerged.* \n\n***If you've missed episodes, [visit my blog](https://steemit.com/@markrmorrisjr) to catch up. Be sure to follow me for updates in your feed!***\n\n\u201cEmil?\u201d Stella said, \u201cMeet Joshua. Are you okay?\u201d\n\nEmil, the Reaper suit\u2019s operator laughed, \u201cYeah, I\u2019m fine, but that was awesome! Can you teach us that?\u201d\n\n\u201cMan! Now I have to rebuild this helmet,\u201d Phil held up a small remote. \u201cAll I had to do was push this button,\u201d he said, pressing it, as the suit powered down. \u201cWhat did you do?\u201d\n\n\u201cThe \u2018nerve\u2019 bundle that controls these things motor skills is on the very top of the skull, under a thin piece of sheet metal, puncture it, it collapses. You didn\u2019t know that?\u201d Joshua said. \n\n\u201cWell, it appears we may need you more than you need us,\u201d Stella said. \u201cSo, just say the word and we\u2019ll get you where you need to be. Meanwhile, my team will be working on your son\u2019s location.\u201d\n\nJoshua dropped the letter opener and walked to the stairs, \u201cFine, whatever you need to collect from my meeting, get it. Now, who\u2019s driving?\u201d With that, he walked up the stairs, he had no more time to waste. \n\n**The Mapleton courthouse sat on a hill in the center of the town, overlooking the area around for miles.** \n\n*Joshua insisted that the team Stella had sent stop 5 miles out and allow him to ride in on the electric trike alone, while they observed the meeting from a distance.* \n\nHe carried the tiny remote in his shirt pocket, a gift from Phil. \u201cThat\u2019s my only prototype, so don\u2019t lose it,\u201d he\u2019d said. \n\n\n\nFrom the end of Main Street, looking up toward the courthouse, Joshua counted at least six reapers. He wondered how far the signal from the remote would travel. \n\nHe thought about pressing it now, disarming his enemy, then walking in, but he\u2019d still have to deal with the six drivers, if they managed to escape the suits. \n\nBesides, Stella seemed to think there was some secret they were going to give away, although Joshua couldn\u2019t imagine it. \n\n*He checked his watch, ten minutes until his scheduled time and while he knew better than to be late, he had no intention of giving the Consensus one more second than he had to.* \n\nThe trike spun it\u2019s tires on a patch of loose gravel as he started back up. He decided a quick approach was best. He charged up the hill, jumping the \u201cMayor\u2019s\u201d parking barrier and rolling up to the foot of the front stairs, he cranked the accelerator and the trike rose up on its back wheel, popping the two front wheels, over the bottom step. \n\nThe machine had more than enough power to climb the steps and Joshua skidded to a stop outside the courthouse door. He stopped and turned back toward the town, the six Reapers swarming toward him up the steps. He powered down, swung his leg up and over the bike and opened the door. \n\n**The Reapers followed him into the hall as he approached the court room.** \n\nThe Magistrate sat behind the judge\u2019s bench and Joshua couldn\u2019t help but smirk at the insult to the very concept of actual justice that this thing represented. \n\n\u201cJoshua Claiborne, appearing as requested,\u201d Joshua said, standing directly in front of the Magistrate. \n\n\n\n> \u201cYes, Mr. Claiborne, have a seat,\u201d A woman\u2019s face, projected on the face shield of the Magistrate said.\n\n\u201cI\u2019d rather stand,\u201d he said. \n\n> \u201cSuit yourself, may we have the room, please?\u201d she said, looking toward the reapers that had entered the back doors of the courtroom.\n\nThey left quietly. \n\n> \u201cMr. Claiborne, you\u2019re charged with violation of the first law, in so\n> much as you have encouraged and joined in the activity of settling\n> outside of Consensus approved areas, acted outside of the legal\n> jurisdiction of the council and on more than one occasion, acted\n> against the best interest of Consensus, including attacking duly\n> authorized Magistrates in the course of their legally binding duties,\n> how do you plead?\u201d\n\n**The woman looked at Joshua, peering over a pair of short, square spectacles, like some sort of outdated stereotype.** \n\n\u201cNot guilty, by reason of illegitimacy of the currently established government and its ensigns. I am not, nor do I choose to become, subject to your law. I stand judged as innocent by natural law, insomuch as I have not caused harm to another human in aggression, damaged or stolen property, nor unnecessarily restricted the liberty of any other person. I recognize no other responsibility to my fellow man,\u201d Joshua said calmly. \n\n> \u201cBe that as it may, Mr. Claiborne, we are not here under the auspices of \u201cnatural law\u201d but rather, under the Council mandated authority of the Consensus and its Magisterial Ministry, of which I am a part and I assure you, you are subject to,\u201d\n\nThe woman intoned, her expression one of almost sheer boredom.\n\n> \u201cCourt finds the defendant guilty and remands the subject for immediate judicial murder.\u201d\n\nThe magistrate raised its arm and brought it down on the bench with a solid thud, that echoed through the court. Joshua felt his heart sink as the Reapers reentered the court and moved up to surround him. \n\n## Look for the upvote button below. If you liked the post, upvote and share!

Often we are so focused on the goal, that we completely forget to enjoy the path.\n\nhttps://puu.sh/rbX2i/70e07ec186.png\n\nWhen we achieve the goal, we forget to enjoy it and immediately create a new goal. That is not life, this is racing with life. I am certain that you will not be happy, bur rather tired. Soul searches for the experience, while the mind and ego give signs if something is good or bad for us. Soul is completely indifferent. For the soul, every experience means celebration, while you are maybe crying because of the mind, to whom literally a lot of things does not make sense. \n\nThe same applies to the transformation called *death*. We celebrate resurrection as the greatest symbol of life, and then we are crying in the moment of someone's death. The mind is strange, isn't it?\n\nhttps://puu.sh/rbX1U/3cc83557c6.png\n\nRelax. It doesn't matter where you are in your level of expansion, you can't miss the road to home. While you are breathing, you are on the right track. Try to accept this moment as a moment in which there is no goal, and there is no end. The game never ends. This is excellent news. We came here to play, not to win. The game ends with victory, and God's Child in us still wants to play.\n\nOne beautiful wisdom reminds us: *\"Everything will be fine. If it isn't fine, then it isn't the end.\"* You always have the chance for new choices. This is very important to understand. You shouldn't hate the process just because you are not on your imaginary goal. You trust the process. You are exactly where your soul wants you to be. Don't let your mind tell you any different. \n\nhttps://puu.sh/rbXjG/ea493b7d14.png\n\nEverything is always a matter of the focus on things you have instead of the things you are missing. Today, again you are taking for granted the things that once were a goal. You forget to enjoy. Time is only an illusion of the mind. What if that is the point that you current process wants to teach you? If time is illusion, and it is, what's the hurry?\n\nhttps://puu.sh/rbWSn/313549d802.png\n\nTake a deep breath in and out. Experience life in the breath. The only goal is hiding in the breath of life. Everything is good, just the way it is. Don't forget that nothing ever happens without the God's blessing. Don't forget that you are guided. And, the most important, don't forget that we would most certainly go wrong if we'd try to determine what is the best time for us. The one who sees the big picture knows where you're headed and where you want to arrive.\n\nhttps://puu.sh/rbWLA/86e34b50b7.png\n\nTrust the process. It is the true test of our faith and wisdom. And enjoy. Without it nothing makes sense, right?\nThe sentence that many repeat in the end of the road: *\"I should've enjoyed more!\"*\n\nAll our life is a mere blink of an eye in the eternity. It is too small for such amount of worry. The life is not a serious thing, just the opposite. Life is the experience game. The point is not in the destination. The journey is our only destination. Isn't it then wiser to enjoy right away?\n\nhttps://puu.sh/rbX8F/2ea42f6dc9.png\n\n*\"Success isn't measured by money or material things.*\n*Success is measured by the amount of joy you feel.\"*\n\nFor more awesome images check this guy: [Psychedelic Maniac](thepsychedelicmaniac.tumblr.com)",

My entire life, I knew however things shook out, I\u2019d eventually be making comic books as a career. At 36, I\u2019m later to the party than I originally anticipated, but I\u2019ve had three decades to prepare for this! I remember as a kid, just being enamored with comic book art [\u2026and still am]. For years, I\u2019d draw these snake characters during class with my friend Neal. Just page after endless page of snakes killing each other. The kind of gratuitous fantasy violence that defines weirdos in high school.
\n
Eventually, photography took over my life, but I still read comics, thought about comics and drew comics when I managed to make time. A couple years ago I began stringing together a story for a comic called THEIA. A sci-fi conspiracy story rooted in the real world, based on actual science. I learned how to format full script for comics and graphic novels [\u2026you can read the finished THEIA script in my previous blog, \u201cFull script of THEIA sci-fi comic book! Exclusively on Steemit!\u201d]. This was a big divergence than my hack and slash snake comics with Neal [\u2026who\u2019s stories progressed with each turn of the page, like a Miyazaki film, but really horrible].
\n
\n
It was during the process of writing the first draft for THEIA that I realized all these years I\u2019ve been so drawn to comics, the real allure for me was story telling and character creation, even more than great art. I\u2019ve been creating comics my entire life, and thus, creating characters along the way. Once I began disciplining myself with taking writing more seriously, I discovered other helpful tools to aide in the creation process. I began taking inventories, outlining in depth documentation of each characters lives, affiliations and personalities.
\n
Character profiles are something I\u2019ve done for 20 years. I mimicked my favorite fantasy artists like Gerald Brom, Boris Vallejo and the one and only, Frank Frazetta. I\u2019d seen pencil sketches of their concept designs with monsters, heroes and heroines, and just did my best to emulate them. I used to draw the typical front, side, three-quarter and head sketches as a reference bible [\u2026granted, much easier when it was just snakes].
\n
\n
I\u2019ve been enjoying a renaissance of creativity since committing to doing comics full time, and character creation is where I spend most of my time. THEIA is still my priority as I have an active Patreon campaign and those pledging support are doing so for that particular title. I do, however, have two other stories I\u2019m developing which are currently knee deep in the character creation process. A Bukowski-esk pulp crime genre during the late 80\u2019s following a private investigator throughout his struggle with sobriety in Queens, NY.
\n
\n
The other is a dark ghost story taking place in the mid-1800\u2019s, surrounding a recently deceased, troubled soul that finds himself caught between the realm of the living, and the afterlife; unable to pass for fear of judgement after a life of heinous acts. The characters in this story were inspired by my most interesting friends, and obscure tales of macabre lore during the industrial revolution and the Southwestern US history.
\n
I wish I was further along in my pursuit of story telling, world building and character creation. I wish I had decades of experience to share here on Steemit. I don\u2019t want to come across like I\u2019m the authority on these complex, disciplined skills; I\u2019ve only been seriously absorbing the art for a couple of years. I imagine, however, there are quite a few new writers, artists and creators here, navigating their own discoveries and process. With that in mind, [and in the spirit of all the things that makes Steemit great for me personally] here a few techniques I use to further my writing and a few resources I\u2019ve found helpful in house, right here on Steemit.
\n
\u2022 Real-life Inspiration: As mentioned, take inspiration from people in life. Friends, or even family. Accentuate the personalities. Exaggerate the quirks or circumstances. For me personally, it\u2019s a big help to to have someone in mind when drawing, and developing a character.
\n
\u2022 Character Inventories: Write up an involved character inventory [\u2026sometimes called a character bible]. A reference of everything you can imagine that defines that character. Their ethnicity, background, where they were born, how old they are, where they went to college, their diet, etc. It\u2019s tedious if you\u2019re working on a character heavy story with a big \u201ccast\u201d, but it pays dividends. Once you have those inventories, you can stick characters in situations and the story literally writes itself. If you have a character that\u2019s a passionate vegan, you can immediately come up with dozens of possibilities if they were accidentally locked in a butcher\u2019s freezer. Same with politics, religious, social issues. It really unloads much of the burden of dreaming up a brilliant scene.
\n
\n
\u2022 Name Generators: Name generators are something I rely on quite a bit. There are many available online. They\u2019re usually free, and they\u2019re a great place to launch in to naming a character. Often times, once you have a name, more of the personality and background unfolds organically. www.seventhsanctum.com has an excellent list of name generators tailored specifically for several genres and character types.
\n
\u2022 Research: This is one of those things that seems obvious, but I challenge you to go deeper. For my ghost story, I started researching life in the mid-1800\u2019s in the Southwest and Dust Bowl of the United States. As I dug through historical sites, I found some of the events of that time. A few hours in, I read about droughts and plagues, which would have been rich content for a story, but going even deeper, I read about these crazy grasshopper plagues! Even deeper, I found accounts of specific families and individuals that described enormous clouds of locusts that swept through their homes and ate everything, including the clothes off their bodies! I encourage you to obsessively push through references, way past where most people would get their first idea and start writing. Beyond that is where you\u2019re going to unearth something truly unique and memorable. I\u2019ve already written a treatment for this epic locust plague in my ghost story [\u2026sort of nervous about what that\u2019s going to be like to draw, though].
\n
\u2022 Don\u2019t Lose The Magic: For me, the magic happens in the moments before I fall asleep. Without fail, that\u2019s where I get my best, originally ideas. Sometimes it\u2019s just a small line a dialog. Other times it\u2019s as vague as a plot point. It\u2019s a tough discipline to wake yourself up and write it down, but that [\u2026for me] is where the magic happens. It\u2019s invaluable, and worth the trouble of having to fall back asleep. I jot things down in the Notes app of my phone. I have some friends that just wake up and make audio recordings. You might get your best ideas during different times. Sometimes I have brilliant moments on long drives. Either way, document it! You\u2019ll be glad you did.
\n
Honestly, Steemit has been a revolution for me as well. Since the platform is incentivized, there is a tremendous wealth of references on writing, drawing, how-to\u2019s. Beyond that, I spent much of my time reading and curating novels and short stories posted by the authors bringing their work to the site. Just this morning, I found a comprehensive article by @jamielefay titled \u201cSteemit and the future of book publishing\u201d.

They are really cool people.\n\nWe have four children, Alex, Ashley, Abby and Austin. My wife's idea to name them all \"A\" names. They are referred to as the \"A Team\".\n\nWe have a close family. We argue very little and maintain open communication. We have treated them like people from early on and they have behaved as such.\n\n\n\n\n\nAn Eye Opening Experience\n-\nA few weeks ago I was in Dallas visiting a friend whom I had not seen in many years. There were other people there as well that I had also not seen in a very long time. I struck up a conversation with one of them and the discussion of family ensued. He told me about his children and what it had been like for him to become a father. He has a wonderful family with children that are still very young. When the time came for me to share about my children, I began listing off what each one was doing from the oldest to the youngest. Before I could get to the youngest one, his mouth was gaped open and he burst out, \"What are you feeding them!\" We had a big laugh as I told him about the youngest and expanded on our philosophy of family.\n\nWe have had many compliments on our children throughout their life. Even today, the people with whom they interact; family, friends and the people who work with them in stage productions, make a point of complimenting them. I am around them all the time, and many of their friends are homeschooled as well so sometimes I forget how special they are and the impact they have on others.\n\n\n\nWhy Am I Sharing\n-\nI hope to convey a few things here. First, if you are considering homeschooling and have reservations, may these stories encourage you. If you already homeschool and wonder if it is all worth it, maybe our stories will give you hope and encouragement as well.\n\nAnd lastly, I am proud of them and want to share their success with you.\n\n\n\nWhy We Homeschool\n-\nMy personal experience in public schools was a nightmare. I moved a lot when I was young and changed schools every three to six months. During one stretch of five years, I switched schools nineteen times. I did not build long term relationships and being the new kid all the time often created struggles with teachers.\n\nThere is a very long story to my history so I will not get into that here. It is however, the main reason I became excited about homeschooling when my wife suggested it.\n\nOur Oldest Child Alex\n-\n\n\nAlex has always been intelligent as I believe all children are. He had memorized many of the family members phone numbers and home addresses by the time he was six. We started him off in Montessori school at age four where he attended three years. We would have kept him in Montessori but they did not offer classes above six years old. \n\nAt that time my wife was still concerned about her ability to homeschool so we enrolled him in a Christian private school for one year. After that, she had researched enough to build her confidence. She was ready to go. (As the years went by, she found out that she was more than capable. We are guides.)\n\nPre-Teen\n-\n\n\nAlex took two years of Latin and one year of Japanese. He acted in plays and did what most children do, play a lot.\n\nTeen Years\n-\n\n\nMany people will tell you that you will have to deal with the teenage years. \"Brace yourself,\" they will say. \"You will become their enemy!\" We did not experience this with Alex or our other children. Alex would come to me for advice about issues him and his friends were discussing. When he would share how I reacted to some of our serious conversations, his friends were astonished and would respond with descriptions of their parents exploding if they attempted to have the same discussions with their parents.\n\nKeeping your cool when one of your children comes to you with a confession is a sure way to have them trust you with other issues of concern.\n\nDuring his teen years, Alex took CLEP tests and earned twelve college hours.\n\nAt sixteen, he began to gain interest in programming. I had introduced it to him when he was nine but he wasn't interested. Then again around eleven but still no interest. At sixteen, the interest was all his. Had I forced him to do it earlier, he may have never liked it.\n\n\n\nBecoming an Adult\n-\n\n\nOne his eighteenth birthday, he begin working his first job as a software developer. He was hired as an apprentice and was promoted to junior developer after only three months. At that time, he began mentoring two of his friends. Within a few months he had taken on a third person to mentor. Within a year or so, each of them have now changed their path and work as software developers. It has significantly changed their lives. Alex just recently began mentoring another friend. Pretty cool to pass forward. He had received help from some of my co-workers early on which made all the difference in his progression.\n\nHe now speaks French and Mandarin and has aspirations to learn many more. He has traveled to seven countries and has an arrangement with his employer to work from anywhere in the world as long as he is at the office for part of the year.\n\n\n\nHe gives technical talks at local meet ups, plays both acoustic and electric guitar, has never met a stranger and has made no enemies.\n\nHe is an inspiration to others, his family and siblings. The bar has been set high but the other children have many interests and accomplishments of their own. I'll share those in subsequent posts.\n\n\n\nWhat was our part?\n-\nMy wife has worked hard to keep them supplied with good school material, staying compliant with state requirements and providing some structure for learning. We never set up a school room like environment. There are never set hours of study. Homeschooling hours vary depending on the age of the child and what they are working on at that phase of their education. I would say that most of the time they spend less time doing actual school work and the rest of the time exploring, using their imagination and focusing their energy on things they are interested in.\n\nFor Alex, that was a foreign language. Other times it was memorizing all the Pokemon cards and building decks and playing in tournaments. Alex said one of the things that has helped him so much in learning new things was the fact that he had memorized so much Pokemon data. He developed the ability to store and retrieve things in his mind.\n\nThe simple fact is\u2026 we didn't do it. Alex did. He deserves all the credit. He did all the work. We provided the canvas, the paint and the paintbrushes. \n\nConclusion\n-\nI feel we have a pretty cool family. There are many ways to raise your children. The most important thing is to love them unconditionally, give them room to grow and treat them as you would your very best friend. They are people and are smarter than most give them credit.\n\nI hope I have been able to convey how proud we are of Alex. These are but a few highlights of his life as he is only twenty-one. There is so much in store for him.\n\nI am so grateful that as much as possible we have given Alex the opportunity to live life on his own terms and he has flourished.",

One of the few precious truths I learned is life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance in...
\n
The Rain
\n
A ray of sunshine does not always mean happiness nor does a drop of rain mean total loneliness. Through time writers of all kinds being the sensitive, emotional and deep people that they are, have always associated the rain with loneliness. Today, whenever a cold wind blows through an open window or an empty space on a street, we are swept with its glum, warning us of a heavy feeling, reminding us of what we have lost, memories that are only too sad we almost wish could bury everything in a shroud of oblivion. Regrets come again, as well as faces of people from the past as a teardrop suddenly threatens to fall anytime from already lost and almost hollow eyes. The cold brought by the rain along with the dark clouds lurking outside makes us want to wrap our arms protectively around ourselves to keep us warm or to shut out any sad thoughts that dare to overstep the arms engulfing our curled bodies.
\n
\n
\n
But its not always like that. Not if we can help it, no. The Rain is perceived negatively most of the time but we can care enough to see beyond what is often seen. GO, outside on an early September morning and you will see that the rain leaves a magnificent dew drenched flower or a grass all the more alive as the sunlight hits the few drops left from last night's rain. All for you to behold. See that under umbrellas are faces of people smiling and radiant as you meet them on the street. Really, the rain cant be that bad. Not at all. It is natures gift, a gift from the Almighty. And after a rain, what do the heavens hold for you? An array of colors painting the sky and we know it as rainbow. Just as we know that after the tears, laughter comes, making us very much worthy of the joy because of what we have gone through.
\n
\n
\n
All our days cannot simply be filled with sunshine and it cannot be simply all laughter and smiles. We have to grow as a person just as the rain lets the flowers in the meadow bloom and grow. The flowers need the rain just as much as they need sunshine. Same is true with people. We need to be happy just as we need to be lonely so that we can grow as a person. Then can we only bring ourselves to realize that the bad is not so bad afer all as long as we allow the growth it brings to us as individuals.
\n
\n
\n
You cannot escape the rain, nor chase it away. Dare to hear its pitter patter rhythm as something which can never be a hindrance for you to see things in a different and brighter way no matter how dark the clouds and heavy the downpour. It is as inevitable as the troubles we come across. Learn from the rain because it is the law of nature. Learn from loneliness or troubles because... It is the law of life.

Don't they know what harm soda is and all the things that are wrong with pacifiers!\" Then I had children. We have four. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. When children are very young, you cannot reason with them. You cannot get through to them with logic.\n\nI hope you continue on Steemit and share your experiences with your children. You do have children, right?\n\nI love the concepts being presented by this an other posts to raise our children and never discipline them but what I am not seeing are examples of how to do that. Not once they are old enough to reason, between 4 and 6, but before that.\n\nI am a strong opponent to child abuse. I grew up in a **very** unstable home. That was something I did not want and did not do in my own family but each of my children did receive a few spankings when they were very young. Once they were old enough to reason with, we discussed matters and consequences came into play.\n\nI have a post on my oldest son, he is 21 now and I talk about homeschooling and letting children play a large role in their life. It is __their__ life after all.\n\nhttps://steemit.com/life/@craigwilliamz/how-to-raise-fantastic-children-part-1",

There is nothing wrong about that, but whale @smooth decided to flag me, destroying my reputation and so my ability to greet new steemians. Just look at the messages on my introductory post and you will see how much I was apreciated for this initiative: no one complained.\n\nThis is unfair! Flagging me as if I were a \"bot\" is an insult to the time I took to salute each new steemian I could.\n\nNo one complained about me and only positive reactions from new steemians is what you could read (if my reputation wasn't destroyed by @smooth). So what kind of \"spam\" is the one that makes people happy when they are personaly greeted when they join (and how could this be compared with an \"spambot\", it's my time that was there dedicated for this task). What is the problem if I found time to do this \"repetitive\" task?\n\n@steemwelcome",

A boy went to war in 1914 and left his bike chained to a tree. He never came home & the family left the bike there as a memorial to the fallen soldier.

+ "body": "\n\nMy Family is Pretty Cool\n-\n\n\nMy favorite people in the world are my children. They are kind, generous, full of life, fun to be around and crazy creative. They are really cool people.\n\nWe have four children, Alex, Ashley, Abby and Austin. My wife's idea to name them all \"A\" names. They are referred to as the \"A Team\".\n\nWe have a close family. We argue very little and maintain open communication. We have treated them like people from early on and they have behaved as such.\n\n\n\n\n\nAn Eye Opening Experience\n-\nA few weeks ago I was in Dallas visiting a friend whom I had not seen in many years. There were other people there as well that I had also not seen in a very long time. I struck up a conversation with one of them and the discussion of family ensued. He told me about his children and what it had been like for him to become a father. He has a wonderful family with children that are still very young. When the time came for me to share about my children, I began listing off what each one was doing from the oldest to the youngest. Before I could get to the youngest one, his mouth was gaped open and he burst out, \"What are you feeding them!\" We had a big laugh as I told him about the youngest and expanded on our philosophy of family.\n\nWe have had many compliments on our children throughout their life. Even today, the people with whom they interact; family, friends and the people who work with them in stage productions, make a point of complimenting them. I am around them all the time, and many of their friends are homeschooled as well so sometimes I forget how special they are and the impact they have on others.\n\n\n\nWhy Am I Sharing\n-\nI hope to convey a few things here. First, if you are considering homeschooling and have reservations, may these stories encourage you. If you already homeschool and wonder if it is all worth it, maybe our stories will give you hope and encouragement as well.\n\nAnd lastly, I am proud of them and want to share their success with you.\n\n\n\nWhy We Homeschool\n-\nMy personal experience in public schools was a nightmare. I moved a lot when I was young and changed schools every three to six months. During one stretch of five years, I switched schools nineteen times. I did not build long term relationships and being the new kid all the time often created struggles with teachers.\n\nThere is a very long story to my history so I will not get into that here. It is however, the main reason I became excited about homeschooling when my wife suggested it.\n\nOur Oldest Child Alex\n-\n\n\nAlex has always been intelligent as I believe all children are. He had memorized many of the family members phone numbers and home addresses by the time he was six. We started him off in Montessori school at age four where he attended three years. We would have kept him in Montessori but they did not offer classes above six years old. \n\nAt that time my wife was still concerned about her ability to homeschool so we enrolled him in a Christian private school for one year. After that, she had researched enough to build her confidence. She was ready to go. (As the years went by, she found out that she was more than capable. We are guides.)\n\nPre-Teen\n-\n\n\nAlex took two years of Latin and one year of Japanese. He acted in plays and did what most children do, play a lot.\n\nTeen Years\n-\n\n\nMany people will tell you that you will have to deal with the teenage years. \"Brace yourself,\" they will say. \"You will become their enemy!\" We did not experience this with Alex or our other children. Alex would come to me for advice about issues him and his friends were discussing. When he would share how I reacted to some of our serious conversations, his friends were astonished and would respond with descriptions of their parents exploding if they attempted to have the same discussions with their parents.\n\nKeeping your cool when one of your children comes to you with a confession is a sure way to have them trust you with other issues of concern.\n\nDuring his teen years, Alex took CLEP tests and earned twelve college hours.\n\nAt sixteen, he began to gain interest in programming. I had introduced it to him when he was nine but he wasn't interested. Then again around eleven but still no interest. At sixteen, the interest was all his. Had I forced him to do it earlier, he may have never liked it.\n\n\n\nBecoming an Adult\n-\n\n\nOne his eighteenth birthday, he begin working his first job as a software developer. He was hired as an apprentice and was promoted to junior developer after only three months. At that time, he began mentoring two of his friends. Within a few months he had taken on a third person to mentor. Within a year or so, each of them have now changed their path and work as software developers. It has significantly changed their lives. Alex just recently began mentoring another friend. Pretty cool to pass forward. He had received help from some of my co-workers early on which made all the difference in his progression.\n\nHe now speaks French and Mandarin and has aspirations to learn many more. He has traveled to seven countries and has an arrangement with his employer to work from anywhere in the world as long as he is at the office for part of the year.\n\n\n\nHe gives technical talks at local meet ups, plays both acoustic and electric guitar, has never met a stranger and has made no enemies.\n\nHe is an inspiration to others, his family and siblings. The bar has been set high but the other children have many interests and accomplishments of their own. I'll share those in subsequent posts.\n\n\n\nWhat was our part?\n-\nMy wife has worked hard to keep them supplied with good school material, staying compliant with state requirements and providing some structure for learning. We never set up a school room like environment. There are never set hours of study. Homeschooling hours vary depending on the age of the child and what they are working on at that phase of their education. I would say that most of the time they spend less time doing actual school work and the rest of the time exploring, using their imagination and focusing their energy on things they are interested in.\n\nFor Alex, that was a foreign language. Other times it was memorizing all the Pokemon cards and building decks and playing in tournaments. Alex said one of the things that has helped him so much in learning new things was the fact that he had memorized so much Pokemon data. He developed the ability to store and retrieve things in his mind.\n\nThe simple fact is\u2026 we didn't do it. Alex did. He deserves all the credit. He did all the work. We provided the canvas, the paint and the paintbrushes. \n\nConclusion\n-\nI feel we have a pretty cool family. There are many ways to raise your children. The most important thing is to love them unconditionally, give them room to grow and treat them as you would your very best friend. They are people and are smarter than most give them credit.\n\nI hope I have been able to convey how proud we are of Alex. These are but a few highlights of his life as he is only twenty-one. There is so much in store for him.\n\nI am so grateful that as much as possible we have given Alex the opportunity to live life on his own terms and he has flourished.",

One of the few precious truths I learned is life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance in...
\n
The Rain
\n
A ray of sunshine does not always mean happiness nor does a drop of rain mean total loneliness. Through time writers of all kinds being the sensitive, emotional and deep people that they are, have always associated the rain with loneliness. Today, whenever a cold wind blows through an open window or an empty space on a street, we are swept with its glum, warning us of a heavy feeling, reminding us of what we have lost, memories that are only too sad we almost wish could bury everything in a shroud of oblivion. Regrets come again, as well as faces of people from the past as a teardrop suddenly threatens to fall anytime from already lost and almost hollow eyes. The cold brought by the rain along with the dark clouds lurking outside makes us want to wrap our arms protectively around ourselves to keep us warm or to shut out any sad thoughts that dare to overstep the arms engulfing our curled bodies.
\n
\n
\n
But its not always like that. Not if we can help it, no. The Rain is perceived negatively most of the time but we can care enough to see beyond what is often seen. GO, outside on an early September morning and you will see that the rain leaves a magnificent dew drenched flower or a grass all the more alive as the sunlight hits the few drops left from last night's rain. All for you to behold. See that under umbrellas are faces of people smiling and radiant as you meet them on the street. Really, the rain cant be that bad. Not at all. It is natures gift, a gift from the Almighty. And after a rain, what do the heavens hold for you? An array of colors painting the sky and we know it as rainbow. Just as we know that after the tears, laughter comes, making us very much worthy of the joy because of what we have gone through.
\n
\n
\n
All our days cannot simply be filled with sunshine and it cannot be simply all laughter and smiles. We have to grow as a person just as the rain lets the flowers in the meadow bloom and grow. The flowers need the rain just as much as they need sunshine. Same is true with people. We need to be happy just as we need to be lonely so that we can grow as a person. Then can we only bring ourselves to realize that the bad is not so bad afer all as long as we allow the growth it brings to us as individuals.
\n
\n
\n
You cannot escape the rain, nor chase it away. Dare to hear its pitter patter rhythm as something which can never be a hindrance for you to see things in a different and brighter way no matter how dark the clouds and heavy the downpour. It is as inevitable as the troubles we come across. Learn from the rain because it is the law of nature. Learn from loneliness or troubles because... It is the law of life.

Don't they know what harm soda is and all the things that are wrong with pacifiers!\" Then I had children. We have four. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. When children are very young, you cannot reason with them. You cannot get through to them with logic.\n\nI hope you continue on Steemit and share your experiences with your children. You do have children, right?\n\nI love the concepts being presented by this an other posts to raise our children and never discipline them but what I am not seeing are examples of how to do that. Not once they are old enough to reason, between 4 and 6, but before that.\n\nI am a strong opponent to child abuse. I grew up in a **very** unstable home. That was something I did not want and did not do in my own family but each of my children did receive a few spankings when they were very young. Once they were old enough to reason with, we discussed matters and consequences came into play.\n\nI have a post on my oldest son, he is 21 now and I talk about homeschooling and letting children play a large role in their life. It is __their__ life after all.\n\nhttps://steemit.com/life/@craigwilliamz/how-to-raise-fantastic-children-part-1",

There is nothing wrong about that, but whale @smooth decided to flag me, destroying my reputation and so my ability to greet new steemians. Just look at the messages on my introductory post and you will see how much I was apreciated for this initiative: no one complained.\n\nThis is unfair! Flagging me as if I were a \"bot\" is an insult to the time I took to salute each new steemian I could.\n\nNo one complained about me and only positive reactions from new steemians is what you could read (if my reputation wasn't destroyed by @smooth). So what kind of \"spam\" is the one that makes people happy when they are personaly greeted when they join (and how could this be compared with an \"spambot\", it's my time that was there dedicated for this task). What is the problem if I found time to do this \"repetitive\" task?\n\n@steemwelcome",

A boy went to war in 1914 and left his bike chained to a tree. He never came home & the family left the bike there as a memorial to the fallen soldier.
\n\t\nThe French economist penned those words before he was able to witness another \u201cgreat fiction,\u201d which currently works to undermine ALL the labor and ALL the accumulated wealth of EVERY American and, by extension, virtually EVERY laboring individual on this planet.\n\nThis article is a little lengthy, so I created a video that's about 24 minutes long that used this article as the script. If you're a busy person (and what thinking person isn't, these days?) you can download the video and play it in your car or at down time at work or whatever. Enjoy the video, share the knowledge and leave your comments. And, of course, your upvotes are always appreciated!\n
\n\t\nWe all work for this fiction every day. People beg for this fiction. Many borrow from others to obtain this fiction. Some even kill so that they can unlawfully accumulate more of this fiction. Without this fiction you could have no clothing for your back, no roof over your head and no food for your stomach. That great fiction is the American Dollar.\n\t\nYou can pull a NOTE out of your pocket and examine it. But you would be searching in vain for any intrinsic value. The value is not found in the ink, nor the material in which the ink is impregnated, nor in the wording. In fact, the wording provides the hint you\u2019ll need to begin to realize that there is NOTHING in and of itself that imputes any value into this piece of paper \u2013 nothing, that is, but a construct of belief \u2013 oh, and one other thing. Brute force, but we\u2019ll get to that later\n
\n\t\nOur Dollar\u2019s history begins with Article 1 sec. 8 of the Constitution. It states that, \u201cCongress shall have the power to coin money, regulate the value thereof and fix the standards of weights and measures.\u201d\n\t\nIn 1792 the Coinage Act was passed \u201cestablishing a mint and regulating the COINS of the U.S.\u201d This law created and defined America\u2019s money.\n\tIt called for a coin called the DOLLAR to contain about \u00be of an ounce of silver.\n\tIt also called for a Half Dollar, Quarter, Dime and Half dime \u2013 all made of silver\n\tIt called for a coin called an EAGLE, each worth 10 DOLLARS and containing a half an ounce of gold.\n\tIt also called for a Half Eagle and a Quarter Eagle. All made of Gold\n\tEach coin, according to this act, would bear an impression of Liberty, the Word Liberty and the year of coinage. \n\nThe reverse side shall have an impression of an Eagle with the inscription, \u201cUnited States of America.\u201d\n\tSo, the definition of money was \u2013 \u201cA silver coin of the United States of the value of 1/10 of an Eagle\u201d or 1 DOLLAR.\n\tAn Eagle was defined as \u201cA GOLD coin of the United States of the value of 10 DOLLARS\u201d\n\tFor the first 80 years of our history these coins were known as \u201cLawful Money.\u201d\n
\n\t\nIn 1794 the US mint in Philadelphia began minting coins. The illustration above is what they looked like. They were strictly composed of either GOLD or SILVER, painstakingly fashioned to the proper weight. So strict was the standard on weights and measures and so serious was the language of the U.S. Coinage Act, that Section 19 invoked the death penalty for anyone caught debasing the nation\u2019s money\n\t\nArticle 1 Section 10 of the Constitution states, \u201cNo state shall coin money, emit bills of credit, make anything but GOLD and SILVER COIN a tender of payment of debts.\u201d\n\t\u201cEmit bills of credit\u201d equates to the issuance of un-backed paper promissory notes as money. \n\tAmerica\u2019s entire economy was anchored to GOLD and SILVER by requiring the states to tender all payments in these coins. Some leaders today, however, claim that Gold is NOT money [Bernake Video]. This claim, according to the law of the land and good ole common sense, is a LIE!\n
\t\nThis Gold and Silver standard stood as a PROTECTION for the people from the corrupt Banksters who love to loan out money they don\u2019t have and profit from the interest. Such a debasing practice, known as Fractional Reserve Banking, is outright Counterfeiting and, therefore, THEFT!\n\t\nThe Gold system ensured that the nation\u2019s wealth was distributed to all the people, rather than being centralized in the hands of a few. It CONSTRAINED governments from issuing un-backed notes of debt, which is what a Federal Reserve Note is today.\t\n\t\nThe fact is, many, including Benjamin Franklin, held that a dishonest money system was a main reason for the Revolutionary War. He wrote, \u201cThe refusal of King George III to allow the colonies to operate an honest money system, which freed the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, was probably the prime cause of the Revolution.\u201d\n
\t\nTwo central banks materialized in early America in order to manipulate the nation\u2019s money supply. The 1st Bank of the United States was established in 1791, in spite of opposition from people like Thomas Jefferson, who argued against its Constitutionality and wrote, \u201cI believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up\u2026 will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.\u201d 1st Bank\u2019s charter was revoked by James Madison.\n\t\nIn 1816 the 2nd Bank of the U.S. was formed. Andrew Jackson, sworn enemy of the Central Bank, despised the thought of private Bankers controlling America\u2019s money. Its charter was revoked in 1833.\n\t\nGold\u2019s discovery in California in 1849, caused the mint to add a 1 Dollar 10th Gold Eagle and a 20 Dollar Double Gold Eagle in order to distribute the gold across the population, honoring the founder\u2019s principle of decentralizing power by spreading the wealth.\n
\t\nThe presence and universal acceptance of gold shackled private bankers and severely limited inflation. It is interesting to note that in the 57 years from 1833 to 1890, GOLD, priced at $20.67/oz fluctuated only 1 PENNY. From 1891 to 1930 gold fluctuated .74 CENTS from a low of $20.58 to a high of $21.32.\n\t\nIn 1861, Individual rights-Trampling President, Abraham Lincoln, financed the \u201cWar of Northern Aggression,\u201d by printing un-backed paper money, an act that debased America\u2019s money and, according to the Coinage Act of 1792, placed him under penalty of death.\n
\t\nDuring this criminal act, the treasury, reeled in coins and replaced them with Lincoln\u2019s Greenback. These notes were denominated in both dollars and cents. Virtually all of America\u2019s money was converted to paper.\n\t\nIn just 4 years nearly 100% of the gains in the standard of living and the purchasing power of the dollar had been wiped out along with over 600,000 lives!\n\t\nAfter the war, the mint resumed coining money. The dollar gained value, even going through periods of increasing buying power. In 1866, contrary to the Constitution, they replaced the SILVER dime with a 5 CENT NICKLE, allowing them to quickly replenish their silver reserves. \n\t\nUnfortunately, the U.S. Government was still issuing paper dollars in the form of notes.\n\t\nHere, an 1878 $20 note reads, \u201cThis note is legal tender at its face value for all debts public and private, EXCEPT duties on imports and interest on the public debt.\u201d In other words, neither foreign nations, nor the international bankers who financed them, would accept this as money \u2013 because it wasn\u2019t money. It was a NOTE, a LOAN, an I.O.U. It was DEBT. The creators of this debt are saying, \u201cyou can use it as money among yourselves, but don\u2019t try to pay US with it!\u201d\n
\t\nAll money, created out of thin air, is DEBT. They expect YOU to accept that debt as a fair trade for your labor, while THEY reject that debt for themselves.\n\t\nIn the 1880\u2019s the treasury began issuing a NEW kind of paper money called silver and gold certificates.\n\t\nThe legalese on these certificates reads, \u201cThis CERTIFIES that there has been deposited in the treasury of the United States, ONE silver dollar, payable to the bearer on demand.\u201d\n
\nEach silver certificate represented one PHYSICAL SILVER or GOLD coin in the Treasury.\n\t\nThis bill says nothing about a \u201cnote\u201d because this isn\u2019t an I.O.U. There is NO restriction on imports or interest on the public debt. Foreign nations and international bankers would accept this as money because it WAS MONEY. However, if the government decreed that they will no longer honor that certificate, you are left with a fancy-looking piece paper.\n\t\nThe early 1900s brought men like J.P. Morgan to the forefront. Morgan, publically considered a financial luminary at the time, exploited his mass influence by publishing rumors that a prominent bank in N.Y. was insolvent. Morgan knew this would cause mass hysteria which would affect other banks as well. And it did. The public, in fear of losing their deposits, immediately began mass withdrawals. Consequently, the banks were forced to call in their loans, causing the recipients to sell their property. Thus, a spiral of bankruptcies, repossessions and turmoil emerged. Frederick Allen of LIFE Magazine later wrote, \u201cThe Morgan interests took advantage to precipitate the panic of 1907, guiding it shrewdly as it progressed.\u201d [LIFE Mag cover]\t\t\n
\t\t\nThe 1907 financial crisis, that caused the New York Stock Exchange to lose 50% from the previous year, prompted people to beg the Government to \u201cbreak the grip of the money trust.\u201d This paved the way for Morgan and his allies to step in with the solution to the problem they created\u2026 and on December 23rd 1913, the Federal Reserve was born.\n
\t\t\nThe Federal Reserve, a cartel of international banking counterfeiters and money manipulators, began printing Federal Reserve Notes, a Government sanctioned bank note. This note, like the Greenback, which preceded it, was a demand note. It was redeemable for Gold, but only in Washington or at a member bank. If you lived far away, it was HIGHLY unlikely that you would redeem this paper for the precious metal.\t\n
\t\t\nThe note itself admits that it is NOT Lawful money. Something that can be exchanged for lawful money is NOT lawful money itself.\n\t\n19 Years after the FEDs creation, in 1932, FDR, another counterfeit enabling President, also subject to the criminal penalty of death, according to the Coinage Act of 1792, demonetized gold, ending the production of gold coins, certificates and silver dollars in order to \u201cstimulate the economy.\u201d He allowed the FED to print notes that were NOT redeemable for lawful money.\n\t\nOne year later, in April of 1933, FDR issued executive order 6102 requiring all persons (under threat of $10,000 fine, up to 10 years in prison, or both) to deliver on or before May 1, 1933 their gold coins, bullion and gold certificates to the Federal Reserve in exchange for $20.67 in Federal Reserve Paper. [$10,000 = $180.000 today]\n
\t\t\nAfter the confiscation of gold and the criminalization of those holding it, gold was raised 60% to $35/oz. resulting in an immediate loss for those who had surrendered the precious metal.\n\t\nAmerica\u2019s leaders had stolen the Labor and TRUE wealth of her citizens and replaced it with worthless paper.\n\t\n11 Years later, in 1944, while WW2 continued to rage, 730 delegates from all 44 Allied nations gathered at Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, NH to establish rules for commercial and financial relations among the world\u2019s industrial states. Because of the economic and physical devastation inflicted on virtually every country involved in the war and because the U.S. emerged from that conflict as an economic and military powerhouse in possession of an estimated 50% of the world\u2019s known gold, the Bretton Woods agreement replaced the British Pound and established the U.S. Dollar as the world\u2019s reserve currency. This meant that international commodities were priced in DOLLARS.\n
\nThe agreement, which gave the U.S. an incredible financial advantage, was made under the condition that those dollars would remain redeemable for gold at a consistent rate of $35/oz. But with the unrestricted, unregulated 30-year-old Federal Reserve Fox watching over the Gold-filled hen house, and its greedy fingers itching to print more notes, those nations would soon discover that entrusting your nation\u2019s wealth to a nation that had already ripped off its own citizens was a financially destructive act.\n\t\n1945 brought an end to the War, revealing two of the planets undisputed super-powers; the United States and Russia. Thus began 4 decades of sustained political and military tensions, including the ever-looming threat of mutual nuclear destruction. The Cold War had begun!\n\t\nAmerica, after Bretton Woods, entered a time of great economic recovery and prosperity. Such that, in the 18 years between 1946 and 1964 Americans were busy adding 78 million baby-booming children to the population.\n
\t\nHowever, as prosperous and financially beneficial as Bretton Woods was to Americans, it had a major flaw. There was nothing in the agreement to prevent the FED from expanding the supply of Federal Reserve Notes. Soon there wouldn\u2019t be enough gold to back all the notes in circulation.\n\t\n1964 brought the last year America\u2019s coins were struck with silver, finally physically detaching our national coinage from any link to precious metals.\n\t\nDuring the 60s and early 70s, as the Vietnam War intensified, it became clear to the countries that had entrusted the U.S. with their gold, that the FED was running budget deficits and flooding the world with paper dollars. The French, under Charles De Gaulle, became suspicious that the U.S. would be unable to honor its Bretton Woods obligations to redeem their excess dollars into gold and, as the French exchanged surplus dollars for Gold, the U.S. Treasury\u2019s gold stock declined alarmingly!\n\t\nRather than use his presidential powers to eliminate the counterfeiting bankers, return the U.S. to a sound money system and honor their Bretton Woods agreement, Nixon chose a different course on Aug. 15th 1971, [Nixon\u2019s address]\n
\n\u201cDefend the dollar against the speculators,\u201d sounds similar to the 1907 \u201cbreak the grip of the money trust,\u201d mantra that lead to the creation and scourge of the Federal Reserve. Nixon\u2019s decree closed the gold window, unilaterally ending the Bretton Woods agreement, and robbing EVERY nation that trusted us!\n\t\nAs a seemingly unrelated side note, the details of which rest beyond the scope of this video, Nixon, 59 days prior to this announcement of Global Theft, officially initiated the War on Drugs. This effectively gave rise to national crime, empowered drug cartels and, as the Iran/Contra scandal would later reveal, created a government monopoly and financial windfall through covert, governmentally controlled, drug trafficking and sales.\n
\t\nIn 1973 Nixon struck a deal with King Faisal of Saudi Arabia to ONLY accept U.S. Dollars as payment for oil and to invest any excess profits in U.S. Treasury bonds, notes and bills. Military protection of Saudi Oil fields would, in return, be supplied by the U.S. By 1975 the same offer was extended to EVERY member of OPEC, who also agreed to ONLY sell their oil in U.S. Dollars.\n\tThis detachment of the U.S. Dollar from Gold and its connection to foreign oil FORCED EVERY importing nation in the world to start maintaining a constant supply of Federal Reserve Paper. In order to obtain that paper, they would have to send real physical goods to America.\nEvery nation NEEDS a robust economy in order to survive, and since you can\u2019t get oil unless you purchase dollars, the powers-that-be, who run the U.S. have ensured that there is a constant demand for those dollars. While the demand remains for dollars, the dollar will hold its value \u2013 even while the FED continues to print and type them into existence.\n\t\nThis is the origin of the PetroDollar System. Worthless paper went out, everything America wanted came in and the U.S. got very, very rich as a result. So the members of OPEC were kept in power by the U.S., while the exporter nations amassed great wealth and banked their dollars at the Federal Reserve in the United States. This is the PetroDollar cycle.\n
\t\nAfter the PetroDollar recycling system was implemented, 70% of Saudi Arabia\u2019s wealth landed in one account\u2026the Federal Reserve of N.Y. So, the U.S. kept the Saudis in power, they got rich and America had an unlimited credit card.\n\t\nHere\u2019s how it works:\nJapan needs to by oil to keep their economy moving. They make a Honda and sell it to America for dollars. They take some of those dollars and give them to OPEC. OPEC gives Japan oil for dollars because they don\u2019t accept the Yen or any other currency. OPEC, then, takes those dollars and gives them back to the U.S. at the Federal Reserve. So the Fed prints the currency and exchanges it for REAL goods from our trading partners; those countries use it to pay their oil bill and OPEC invests it back into the U.S. \u2013 PetroDollar recycling.\n\t\nAs long as oil can ONLY be purchased with dollars, and we can print them for nothing \u2013 America has its very own money tree.\n\nIn the 16 years between 1975 and 1991, the U.S. used their oil-backed currency to outspend all other nations in order to amass the most powerful weaponry and military in world history. The Soviet Union Never had a chance. With the collapse of the communist BLOC and the end of the Cold War in 1991 as well as America\u2019s emergence as the undisputed world Super Power, many believed a new era of peace and stability had begun.\n\t\nBut the powers-that-be had other ideas. Within that same year, the U.S. invaded Iraq in the 1st Gulf War, crushing the Iraqi military, destroying its infrastructure and imposing crippling sanctions which continued for the next decade (throughout H.W. Bush and Clinton\u2019s administration) resulting in the deaths of more than half a million children. Clinton\u2019s administration was fully aware of these deaths.\nThe two pillars that underpin American Supremacy are: The dollar as the World Reserve currency which is backed by the second pillar -- the awesome Might of the U.S. Military.\n\t\nIf the dollar loses its status as the world\u2019s reserve currency, there will be no more funding for the empire we\u2019ve build around the globe. And an unfunded military becomes an impotent military.\n\t\nIf that supremacy relies on other nations holding dollars for oil, then any nation which challenges that arrangement becomes the target of American discipline, through acts of war like sanctions or direct military engagement.\n\t\nIn November of 2000, Saddam Hussein, became the challenger of that arrangement by announcing that he would begin trading oil for Euros. From 2001 to the beginning of the war, Iraq exported about 3.3 billion barrels of oil. The U.S. bought 2.5 billion of those barrels\u2026but had to pay in Euros. The PetroDollar System was under threat.\n\n\t\nIt was at this time that the Bush Administration, with the help of MSM, fabricated the story of Iraq\u2019s possession of WMD\u2019s. Iraq was quickly placed on the list of \u201caxis of evil\u201d nations. [Bush video]\n\n\t\nIs it a mere coincidence that less than 10 months after a direct assault on the PetroDollar Arrangement that this happened [911 compilation video]\n
\t\nThe horrible tragedy of that day was used as a catalyst to strip American of their freedoms, further expand the military budget and invade Iraq. Once the U.S. had control in Iraq, oil sales were immediately switched back to the dollar, costing the Iraqis 17% of their profits due to the Euro\u2019s higher value. \n\t\nThis pattern of PetroDollar protection was replayed when, in Libya, Gahdafi was in the process of organizing a block of African countries to create a gold-based currency called the Dinar, with the intent of replacing the dollar in that region. In 2011, U.S. and NATO forces destabilized and toppled the Libyan government, executing Gaddafi in the process and immediately set up the Libyan Central Bank.\n\t\nThose who control the U.S. understand that even if a few countries begin to sell their oil in another currency, it will set up a chain reaction and the dollar will collapse. They understand that there is nothing else holding up the value of the dollar at this point, and so does the rest of the world. And it is the brute force of the U.S. military that is deployed to crush each and every resistant state in the Middle East and Africa.\n\t\nChina and Russia have made it clear that they will not tolerate an attack on Iran or Syria. If Iran, their key oil-producing ally, falls \u2013 they will be unable to escape the dollar without setting off a global conflict. And since it is America who has chosen to rob other nations with their PetroDollar scheme, at whom do you think other nations will be angry for burdening them with so much forced debt?\n
\t\nThe dollars in your pocket, represent the labor at which you worked in order to obtain them. But those dollars are debt, generated by a war-mongering cabal of elite international banking criminals who have managed to pull off the greatest heist in human history.\n\t\nWe are all in this together. We have been enslaved and it is up to us to work on creating solutions to free ourselves from the taskmasters who have fashioned our chains.\n\n-----\nI'm Brian, the owner and creator of the YouTube Channel [HighImpactFlix](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7KZFVVnKjiCzkxWD-Qrakg) and the HighImpactFlix [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/HighImpactFlix/?fref=ts).

\n\nAs Bastiat wrote, \"The state is that great fiction, by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else.\" And what a GREAT FICTION it is!! Enjoy the video!\n
\n\n\n____\nI'm Brian Young, owner of the HighImpactFlix YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7KZFVVnKjiCzkxWD-Qrakg \n
\n\t\nThe French economist penned those words before he was able to witness another \u201cgreat fiction,\u201d which currently works to undermine ALL the labor and ALL the accumulated wealth of EVERY American and, by extension, virtually EVERY laboring individual on this planet.\n\nThis article is a little lengthy, so I created a video that's about 24 minutes long that used this article as the script. If you're a busy person (and what thinking person isn't, these days?) you can download the video and play it in your car or at down time at work or whatever. Enjoy the video, share the knowledge and leave your comments. And, of course, your upvotes are always appreciated!\n
\n\t\nWe all work for this fiction every day. People beg for this fiction. Many borrow from others to obtain this fiction. Some even kill so that they can unlawfully accumulate more of this fiction. Without this fiction you could have no clothing for your back, no roof over your head and no food for your stomach. That great fiction is the American Dollar.\n\t\nYou can pull a NOTE out of your pocket and examine it. But you would be searching in vain for any intrinsic value. The value is not found in the ink, nor the material in which the ink is impregnated, nor in the wording. In fact, the wording provides the hint you\u2019ll need to begin to realize that there is NOTHING in and of itself that imputes any value into this piece of paper \u2013 nothing, that is, but a construct of belief \u2013 oh, and one other thing. Brute force, but we\u2019ll get to that later\n
\n\t\nOur Dollar\u2019s history begins with Article 1 sec. 8 of the Constitution. It states that, \u201cCongress shall have the power to coin money, regulate the value thereof and fix the standards of weights and measures.\u201d\n\t\nIn 1792 the Coinage Act was passed \u201cestablishing a mint and regulating the COINS of the U.S.\u201d This law created and defined America\u2019s money.\n\tIt called for a coin called the DOLLAR to contain about \u00be of an ounce of silver.\n\tIt also called for a Half Dollar, Quarter, Dime and Half dime \u2013 all made of silver\n\tIt called for a coin called an EAGLE, each worth 10 DOLLARS and containing a half an ounce of gold.\n\tIt also called for a Half Eagle and a Quarter Eagle. All made of Gold\n\tEach coin, according to this act, would bear an impression of Liberty, the Word Liberty and the year of coinage. \n\nThe reverse side shall have an impression of an Eagle with the inscription, \u201cUnited States of America.\u201d\n\tSo, the definition of money was \u2013 \u201cA silver coin of the United States of the value of 1/10 of an Eagle\u201d or 1 DOLLAR.\n\tAn Eagle was defined as \u201cA GOLD coin of the United States of the value of 10 DOLLARS\u201d\n\tFor the first 80 years of our history these coins were known as \u201cLawful Money.\u201d\n
\n\t\nIn 1794 the US mint in Philadelphia began minting coins. The illustration above is what they looked like. They were strictly composed of either GOLD or SILVER, painstakingly fashioned to the proper weight. So strict was the standard on weights and measures and so serious was the language of the U.S. Coinage Act, that Section 19 invoked the death penalty for anyone caught debasing the nation\u2019s money\n\t\nArticle 1 Section 10 of the Constitution states, \u201cNo state shall coin money, emit bills of credit, make anything but GOLD and SILVER COIN a tender of payment of debts.\u201d\n\t\u201cEmit bills of credit\u201d equates to the issuance of un-backed paper promissory notes as money. \n\tAmerica\u2019s entire economy was anchored to GOLD and SILVER by requiring the states to tender all payments in these coins. Some leaders today, however, claim that Gold is NOT money [Bernake Video]. This claim, according to the law of the land and good ole common sense, is a LIE!\n
\t\nThis Gold and Silver standard stood as a PROTECTION for the people from the corrupt Banksters who love to loan out money they don\u2019t have and profit from the interest. Such a debasing practice, known as Fractional Reserve Banking, is outright Counterfeiting and, therefore, THEFT!\n\t\nThe Gold system ensured that the nation\u2019s wealth was distributed to all the people, rather than being centralized in the hands of a few. It CONSTRAINED governments from issuing un-backed notes of debt, which is what a Federal Reserve Note is today.\t\n\t\nThe fact is, many, including Benjamin Franklin, held that a dishonest money system was a main reason for the Revolutionary War. He wrote, \u201cThe refusal of King George III to allow the colonies to operate an honest money system, which freed the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, was probably the prime cause of the Revolution.\u201d\n
\t\nTwo central banks materialized in early America in order to manipulate the nation\u2019s money supply. The 1st Bank of the United States was established in 1791, in spite of opposition from people like Thomas Jefferson, who argued against its Constitutionality and wrote, \u201cI believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up\u2026 will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.\u201d 1st Bank\u2019s charter was revoked by James Madison.\n\t\nIn 1816 the 2nd Bank of the U.S. was formed. Andrew Jackson, sworn enemy of the Central Bank, despised the thought of private Bankers controlling America\u2019s money. Its charter was revoked in 1833.\n\t\nGold\u2019s discovery in California in 1849, caused the mint to add a 1 Dollar 10th Gold Eagle and a 20 Dollar Double Gold Eagle in order to distribute the gold across the population, honoring the founder\u2019s principle of decentralizing power by spreading the wealth.\n
\t\nThe presence and universal acceptance of gold shackled private bankers and severely limited inflation. It is interesting to note that in the 57 years from 1833 to 1890, GOLD, priced at $20.67/oz fluctuated only 1 PENNY. From 1891 to 1930 gold fluctuated .74 CENTS from a low of $20.58 to a high of $21.32.\n\t\nIn 1861, Individual rights-Trampling President, Abraham Lincoln, financed the \u201cWar of Northern Aggression,\u201d by printing un-backed paper money, an act that debased America\u2019s money and, according to the Coinage Act of 1792, placed him under penalty of death.\n
\t\nDuring this criminal act, the treasury, reeled in coins and replaced them with Lincoln\u2019s Greenback. These notes were denominated in both dollars and cents. Virtually all of America\u2019s money was converted to paper.\n\t\nIn just 4 years nearly 100% of the gains in the standard of living and the purchasing power of the dollar had been wiped out along with over 600,000 lives!\n\t\nAfter the war, the mint resumed coining money. The dollar gained value, even going through periods of increasing buying power. In 1866, contrary to the Constitution, they replaced the SILVER dime with a 5 CENT NICKLE, allowing them to quickly replenish their silver reserves. \n\t\nUnfortunately, the U.S. Government was still issuing paper dollars in the form of notes.\n\t\nHere, an 1878 $20 note reads, \u201cThis note is legal tender at its face value for all debts public and private, EXCEPT duties on imports and interest on the public debt.\u201d In other words, neither foreign nations, nor the international bankers who financed them, would accept this as money \u2013 because it wasn\u2019t money. It was a NOTE, a LOAN, an I.O.U. It was DEBT. The creators of this debt are saying, \u201cyou can use it as money among yourselves, but don\u2019t try to pay US with it!\u201d\n
\t\nAll money, created out of thin air, is DEBT. They expect YOU to accept that debt as a fair trade for your labor, while THEY reject that debt for themselves.\n\t\nIn the 1880\u2019s the treasury began issuing a NEW kind of paper money called silver and gold certificates.\n\t\nThe legalese on these certificates reads, \u201cThis CERTIFIES that there has been deposited in the treasury of the United States, ONE silver dollar, payable to the bearer on demand.\u201d\n
\nEach silver certificate represented one PHYSICAL SILVER or GOLD coin in the Treasury.\n\t\nThis bill says nothing about a \u201cnote\u201d because this isn\u2019t an I.O.U. There is NO restriction on imports or interest on the public debt. Foreign nations and international bankers would accept this as money because it WAS MONEY. However, if the government decreed that they will no longer honor that certificate, you are left with a fancy-looking piece paper.\n\t\nThe early 1900s brought men like J.P. Morgan to the forefront. Morgan, publically considered a financial luminary at the time, exploited his mass influence by publishing rumors that a prominent bank in N.Y. was insolvent. Morgan knew this would cause mass hysteria which would affect other banks as well. And it did. The public, in fear of losing their deposits, immediately began mass withdrawals. Consequently, the banks were forced to call in their loans, causing the recipients to sell their property. Thus, a spiral of bankruptcies, repossessions and turmoil emerged. Frederick Allen of LIFE Magazine later wrote, \u201cThe Morgan interests took advantage to precipitate the panic of 1907, guiding it shrewdly as it progressed.\u201d [LIFE Mag cover]\t\t\n
\t\t\nThe 1907 financial crisis, that caused the New York Stock Exchange to lose 50% from the previous year, prompted people to beg the Government to \u201cbreak the grip of the money trust.\u201d This paved the way for Morgan and his allies to step in with the solution to the problem they created\u2026 and on December 23rd 1913, the Federal Reserve was born.\n
\t\t\nThe Federal Reserve, a cartel of international banking counterfeiters and money manipulators, began printing Federal Reserve Notes, a Government sanctioned bank note. This note, like the Greenback, which preceded it, was a demand note. It was redeemable for Gold, but only in Washington or at a member bank. If you lived far away, it was HIGHLY unlikely that you would redeem this paper for the precious metal.\t\n
\t\t\nThe note itself admits that it is NOT Lawful money. Something that can be exchanged for lawful money is NOT lawful money itself.\n\t\n19 Years after the FEDs creation, in 1932, FDR, another counterfeit enabling President, also subject to the criminal penalty of death, according to the Coinage Act of 1792, demonetized gold, ending the production of gold coins, certificates and silver dollars in order to \u201cstimulate the economy.\u201d He allowed the FED to print notes that were NOT redeemable for lawful money.\n\t\nOne year later, in April of 1933, FDR issued executive order 6102 requiring all persons (under threat of $10,000 fine, up to 10 years in prison, or both) to deliver on or before May 1, 1933 their gold coins, bullion and gold certificates to the Federal Reserve in exchange for $20.67 in Federal Reserve Paper. [$10,000 = $180.000 today]\n
\t\t\nAfter the confiscation of gold and the criminalization of those holding it, gold was raised 60% to $35/oz. resulting in an immediate loss for those who had surrendered the precious metal.\n\t\nAmerica\u2019s leaders had stolen the Labor and TRUE wealth of her citizens and replaced it with worthless paper.\n\t\n11 Years later, in 1944, while WW2 continued to rage, 730 delegates from all 44 Allied nations gathered at Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, NH to establish rules for commercial and financial relations among the world\u2019s industrial states. Because of the economic and physical devastation inflicted on virtually every country involved in the war and because the U.S. emerged from that conflict as an economic and military powerhouse in possession of an estimated 50% of the world\u2019s known gold, the Bretton Woods agreement replaced the British Pound and established the U.S. Dollar as the world\u2019s reserve currency. This meant that international commodities were priced in DOLLARS.\n
\nThe agreement, which gave the U.S. an incredible financial advantage, was made under the condition that those dollars would remain redeemable for gold at a consistent rate of $35/oz. But with the unrestricted, unregulated 30-year-old Federal Reserve Fox watching over the Gold-filled hen house, and its greedy fingers itching to print more notes, those nations would soon discover that entrusting your nation\u2019s wealth to a nation that had already ripped off its own citizens was a financially destructive act.\n\t\n1945 brought an end to the War, revealing two of the planets undisputed super-powers; the United States and Russia. Thus began 4 decades of sustained political and military tensions, including the ever-looming threat of mutual nuclear destruction. The Cold War had begun!\n\t\nAmerica, after Bretton Woods, entered a time of great economic recovery and prosperity. Such that, in the 18 years between 1946 and 1964 Americans were busy adding 78 million baby-booming children to the population.\n
\t\nHowever, as prosperous and financially beneficial as Bretton Woods was to Americans, it had a major flaw. There was nothing in the agreement to prevent the FED from expanding the supply of Federal Reserve Notes. Soon there wouldn\u2019t be enough gold to back all the notes in circulation.\n\t\n1964 brought the last year America\u2019s coins were struck with silver, finally physically detaching our national coinage from any link to precious metals.\n\t\nDuring the 60s and early 70s, as the Vietnam War intensified, it became clear to the countries that had entrusted the U.S. with their gold, that the FED was running budget deficits and flooding the world with paper dollars. The French, under Charles De Gaulle, became suspicious that the U.S. would be unable to honor its Bretton Woods obligations to redeem their excess dollars into gold and, as the French exchanged surplus dollars for Gold, the U.S. Treasury\u2019s gold stock declined alarmingly!\n\t\nRather than use his presidential powers to eliminate the counterfeiting bankers, return the U.S. to a sound money system and honor their Bretton Woods agreement, Nixon chose a different course on Aug. 15th 1971, [Nixon\u2019s address]\n
\n\u201cDefend the dollar against the speculators,\u201d sounds similar to the 1907 \u201cbreak the grip of the money trust,\u201d mantra that lead to the creation and scourge of the Federal Reserve. Nixon\u2019s decree closed the gold window, unilaterally ending the Bretton Woods agreement, and robbing EVERY nation that trusted us!\n\t\nAs a seemingly unrelated side note, the details of which rest beyond the scope of this video, Nixon, 59 days prior to this announcement of Global Theft, officially initiated the War on Drugs. This effectively gave rise to national crime, empowered drug cartels and, as the Iran/Contra scandal would later reveal, created a government monopoly and financial windfall through covert, governmentally controlled, drug trafficking and sales.\n
\t\nIn 1973 Nixon struck a deal with King Faisal of Saudi Arabia to ONLY accept U.S. Dollars as payment for oil and to invest any excess profits in U.S. Treasury bonds, notes and bills. Military protection of Saudi Oil fields would, in return, be supplied by the U.S. By 1975 the same offer was extended to EVERY member of OPEC, who also agreed to ONLY sell their oil in U.S. Dollars.\n\tThis detachment of the U.S. Dollar from Gold and its connection to foreign oil FORCED EVERY importing nation in the world to start maintaining a constant supply of Federal Reserve Paper. In order to obtain that paper, they would have to send real physical goods to America.\nEvery nation NEEDS a robust economy in order to survive, and since you can\u2019t get oil unless you purchase dollars, the powers-that-be, who run the U.S. have ensured that there is a constant demand for those dollars. While the demand remains for dollars, the dollar will hold its value \u2013 even while the FED continues to print and type them into existence.\n\t\nThis is the origin of the PetroDollar System. Worthless paper went out, everything America wanted came in and the U.S. got very, very rich as a result. So the members of OPEC were kept in power by the U.S., while the exporter nations amassed great wealth and banked their dollars at the Federal Reserve in the United States. This is the PetroDollar cycle.\n
\t\nAfter the PetroDollar recycling system was implemented, 70% of Saudi Arabia\u2019s wealth landed in one account\u2026the Federal Reserve of N.Y. So, the U.S. kept the Saudis in power, they got rich and America had an unlimited credit card.\n\t\nHere\u2019s how it works:\nJapan needs to by oil to keep their economy moving. They make a Honda and sell it to America for dollars. They take some of those dollars and give them to OPEC. OPEC gives Japan oil for dollars because they don\u2019t accept the Yen or any other currency. OPEC, then, takes those dollars and gives them back to the U.S. at the Federal Reserve. So the Fed prints the currency and exchanges it for REAL goods from our trading partners; those countries use it to pay their oil bill and OPEC invests it back into the U.S. \u2013 PetroDollar recycling.\n\t\nAs long as oil can ONLY be purchased with dollars, and we can print them for nothing \u2013 America has its very own money tree.\n\nIn the 16 years between 1975 and 1991, the U.S. used their oil-backed currency to outspend all other nations in order to amass the most powerful weaponry and military in world history. The Soviet Union Never had a chance. With the collapse of the communist BLOC and the end of the Cold War in 1991 as well as America\u2019s emergence as the undisputed world Super Power, many believed a new era of peace and stability had begun.\n\t\nBut the powers-that-be had other ideas. Within that same year, the U.S. invaded Iraq in the 1st Gulf War, crushing the Iraqi military, destroying its infrastructure and imposing crippling sanctions which continued for the next decade (throughout H.W. Bush and Clinton\u2019s administration) resulting in the deaths of more than half a million children. Clinton\u2019s administration was fully aware of these deaths.\nThe two pillars that underpin American Supremacy are: The dollar as the World Reserve currency which is backed by the second pillar -- the awesome Might of the U.S. Military.\n\t\nIf the dollar loses its status as the world\u2019s reserve currency, there will be no more funding for the empire we\u2019ve build around the globe. And an unfunded military becomes an impotent military.\n\t\nIf that supremacy relies on other nations holding dollars for oil, then any nation which challenges that arrangement becomes the target of American discipline, through acts of war like sanctions or direct military engagement.\n\t\nIn November of 2000, Saddam Hussein, became the challenger of that arrangement by announcing that he would begin trading oil for Euros. From 2001 to the beginning of the war, Iraq exported about 3.3 billion barrels of oil. The U.S. bought 2.5 billion of those barrels\u2026but had to pay in Euros. The PetroDollar System was under threat.\n\n\t\nIt was at this time that the Bush Administration, with the help of MSM, fabricated the story of Iraq\u2019s possession of WMD\u2019s. Iraq was quickly placed on the list of \u201caxis of evil\u201d nations. [Bush video]\n\n\t\nIs it a mere coincidence that less than 10 months after a direct assault on the PetroDollar Arrangement that this happened [911 compilation video]\n
\t\nThe horrible tragedy of that day was used as a catalyst to strip American of their freedoms, further expand the military budget and invade Iraq. Once the U.S. had control in Iraq, oil sales were immediately switched back to the dollar, costing the Iraqis 17% of their profits due to the Euro\u2019s higher value. \n\t\nThis pattern of PetroDollar protection was replayed when, in Libya, Gahdafi was in the process of organizing a block of African countries to create a gold-based currency called the Dinar, with the intent of replacing the dollar in that region. In 2011, U.S. and NATO forces destabilized and toppled the Libyan government, executing Gaddafi in the process and immediately set up the Libyan Central Bank.\n\t\nThose who control the U.S. understand that even if a few countries begin to sell their oil in another currency, it will set up a chain reaction and the dollar will collapse. They understand that there is nothing else holding up the value of the dollar at this point, and so does the rest of the world. And it is the brute force of the U.S. military that is deployed to crush each and every resistant state in the Middle East and Africa.\n\t\nChina and Russia have made it clear that they will not tolerate an attack on Iran or Syria. If Iran, their key oil-producing ally, falls \u2013 they will be unable to escape the dollar without setting off a global conflict. And since it is America who has chosen to rob other nations with their PetroDollar scheme, at whom do you think other nations will be angry for burdening them with so much forced debt?\n
\t\nThe dollars in your pocket, represent the labor at which you worked in order to obtain them. But those dollars are debt, generated by a war-mongering cabal of elite international banking criminals who have managed to pull off the greatest heist in human history.\n\t\nWe are all in this together. We have been enslaved and it is up to us to work on creating solutions to free ourselves from the taskmasters who have fashioned our chains.\n\n-----\nI'm Brian, the owner and creator of the YouTube Channel [HighImpactFlix](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7KZFVVnKjiCzkxWD-Qrakg) and the HighImpactFlix [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/HighImpactFlix/?fref=ts).

Then, without warning and without explanation, YT demonetized it and finally REMOVED it. To this day, no reason was given. By every indication it was headed for the viral stratosphere!\n
http://i68.tinypic.com/2emzr4y.jpg
\nCensorship, by the way, is one of the main reasons I'm here on Steemit. \n\nI HATE this YouTube message!\n
http://i65.tinypic.com/2wme4xj.jpg
\n\nI have since repackaged and renamed the video series. Additionally, I've combined both videos into one action-packed, information-infused short film on the birth of our monetary system; tracing it's roots from the sound money of Gold and Silver \n
http://i63.tinypic.com/o91tao.gif
\n to the inception of the non-federal, treasonous Federal Reserve, \n
http://i66.tinypic.com/d4lnd.jpg
\nto the Bretton Woods accord, \n

\nNixon's closing of the gold window (\"happy\" anniversary on that one BTW),\n
http://i65.tinypic.com/2u7m7x3.jpg
\nall the way through to the birth of the Petrodollar and the reason we're even in the Middle east. \n

I think that this can be a good statistic to track as it gives you a feel for how many users actually opened your article. This can help guide authors to work on topics that attract the most views. Upvotes are nice, but I feel that they don't tell the whole story as far as the level of interest your articles generate.
\n
There are also lurkers who don't have accounts but occasionally check out what's going on here. This could help to track them as well.
\n
I found some others that require the webpage address, so I will add those in the comments after I post.

Da Steem beliebige Daten welche an einem Account gekn\u00fcpft sind unterst\u00fctzt, liegt es nahe f\u00fcr Erfahrene Entwickler die von Namecoin und \u00e4hnlichen Projekten genutzt werden auf Steem zu portieren.
\n
Sind diese Tools erst vorhanden, kann der Steem-Account Name als Domain f\u00fcr die eigene Webseite genutzt werden.
\n
Ich bin mir sicher, dass derjenige, welcher zuerst benutzerfreundliche und qualitative Tools ver\u00f6ffentlicht um DNS-Abfragen mittels der Metadaten des Steem-Accounts zu erm\u00f6glichen, eine Flut von Upvotes erh\u00e4lt.

Great cooking everyone, we have seen a lot of inspiration for fast dinners!\n\n## The delay\n*Just to explain without get into to much details. I've been sick for a week and have not even managed to get out of bed or barely eat, therefore the announcement of this weeks winners got delayed. I should have told you in the steemit.chat earlier, but even that have seemed like a too big obstacle. I think the ones of you that also struggles with mental illness (as I told you a bit about in my [introduction post](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@givemeyoursteem/hi-steemians-i-m-moa-and-i-fled-the-rat-race-to-live-on-an-island)) can recognize it. When I opened up my computer I got angry messages, no questions **why** the challenge was delayed, but just people telling me that I'm a scam, that I destroy all challenges on Steemit and so on. We started this competition because we wanted to do something **good** for the community. Right now I just feel sad and don't know what to do, therefore there will not be a Steemit Food Challenge next week.*\n\n## Thanks for the understanding and support, you are the best!\n\n## But now to the better part, let us present the winners...\n\n---\n\n# THE WINNERS of Steemit Food Challenge #4 - Congratulations!\n\n---\n\n# 4th prize (25 SBD) goes to...\nhttps://img1.steemit.com/0x0/http://i66.tinypic.com/1izp86.jpg\n... @englishtchrivy with her quick [vegetarian dinner!](https://steemit.com/foodchallenge/@englishtchrivy/reposted-for-steemit-food-challenge-4-quick-fix-vegetarian-dinner-entry-1)\n\n### Sponsored by @knozaki2015\n\n---\n\n# 3rd prize (35 SBD) goes to...\nhttps://img1.steemit.com/0x0/http://s018.radikal.ru/i502/1609/ce/21c74cc4fbe6.jpg\n... @celebr1ty with this nice [pita stuffed with chicken!](https://steemit.com/food/@celebr1ty/the-most-delicious-dinner-in-15-minutes-steemit-food-challenge-the-theme-15-minute-meal)\n\n### Sponsored by @btotherest\n---\n\n# 2nd prize (50 SBD) goes to...\nhttps://img1.steemit.com/0x0/https://s21.postimg.org/bzb4n6ppz/enjoy.jpg\n... @oumar and his [fresh tuna and cranberry cashew salad!](https://steemit.com/food/@oumar/citric-tuna-steak-with-cranberry-cashew-salad-in-just-15-minutes-steemit-food-challenge-4)\n\n### Sponsored by @instructor2121 & @menta\n---\n\n# The WINNER of Steemit Food Challenge (100 Steem dollars) is...\nhttps://img1.steemit.com/0x0/http://i.imgur.com/LmluuCA.jpg\nhttps://img1.steemit.com/0x0/http://i.imgur.com/qrRoyxp.jpg\n... @meesterboom and the [Pork Bang Bang curry!](https://steemit.com/recipes/@meesterboom/pork-bang-bang-curry-in-15-minutes-steemit-food-challenge-4)\n\n### Sponsored by @smooth\n---\n\n# Razvanelul's Wild Pick (15 SBD) goes to...\nhttps://img1.steemit.com/0x0/https://s19.postimg.org/5dj2fwrjn/DSC_0712.jpg\n... @gringalicious and the [Steemit Pepperoni Pizzadillas!](https://steemit.com/foodchallenge/@gringalicious/15-minute-garden-veggie-pepperoni-pizzadillas-pizza-quesadillas-steemit-food-challenge-4)\n\n### Sponsored by @razvanelulmarin\n---\n\n# Thank you so much everyone!\n// @givemeyoursteem & @healthyfood",

+ "body": "Discussed below are two new articles that shed light on the grand economic chessboard controlled by governments while paving the way for more lies and manipulation by the media...\n\nGlobal central bankers, stuck at zero, unite in plea for help from governments: https://ca.news.yahoo.com/global-central-bankers-stuck-zero-unite-plea-help-123135496--business.html\n\nAs Fed nears rate hikes, policymakers plan for 'brave new world': https://ca.news.yahoo.com/fed-nears-rate-hikes-policymakers-plan-brave-world-005117150--business.html\n\nWhile simultaneously espousing Obama's great economic achievements in the press for years after saving the nation from peril in 2008, central bankers now openly admit there's a very weak economy and a recovery that never was. You know, facts.\n\nWhile talk of \"new tools\" needed to fight the next recession unofficially dominated the annual meeting of our monetary overlords in Wyoming, it is quite clear that the main weapon in their arsenal is the same as it was then; to maintain control over human beings by selling a never ending stream of fiction to the public.\n\n\"it may take a massive program, large enough even to shock taxpayers\"\n\"hard to convince markets and households that things will get better\"\n\"encourage the shift in mood\"\n\"prevent public expectations\"\n\"do not respond in expected ways\"\n\nAnd this gem\u2026 \"In modern monetary theory, households and business expectations are felt to play a defining role.\"\n\nSounds really modern!\n\nThe article ends with this\u2026 \"It was not clear whether such ideas will catch on.

Of mass manipulation for the benefit of those who rule us while easily selling the public what they are doing is in their best interests.",

+ "body": "Empathy is an interesting aspect of human nature that many people do not possess. Empathy in short is the ability to view an scenario from a different perspective than your own, normally to better understand someone's perspective on certain topics or ideas. This handy skill is a learned skill and when used effectively can be used to better understand humanity.\nBut as with every neat skill, they tend to have as many pros as they do cons. So i will attempt to explain the pros and cons that i have found apparent with empathy.\n There are quite a few pros to empathy, one of which being in your reputation. A person who uses empathy often is normally seen as a loving compassionate person. Another pro that is quite noticeable is the ability to understand unexplained problems. On occasion if a problem really troubles someone or is very personal, most people will not tell anyone about it. But with empathy you can figure out what is troubling them sometimes with something as simple as \"How have you been?\". A more prominent pro of using empathy is better understanding how a person truly is. Most people wear a \"Facade\" in public or a metaphorical mask, these tend to hide their true personality from the public eye and conceal most things about them. Using empathy, you can work around the \"Facade\" and figure out how they truly are as a person, and most of the time appreciate them a bit more.\n Empathy has allot of pros but also has its fair share of cons to go with it, a good example of one of its cons is a changed perspective. under most circumstances, use of empathy becomes a habit and changes your outlook on everyone around you. This is not really very terrible, but it can lead to you disliking a person more than would have normally. Another apparent con is over-assessing someone. This can happen when you use empathy on someone and spot something that would make you feel awful, but in truth does not faze them. Here is an example. You are talking with a person and figure out that they don't have a mother. To you that may seem horrible and you start pitying them, when in truth it may not even matter to them in the slightest. A more cumbersome problem with empathy lies with information. In order to understand or sympathize with someone you need to understand the problems they put up with. If you ask too many questions about their life, they may find you \"Nosy\" or \"Annoying\". On the contrary, if you do not inquire very much about them, you will not have any idea of their standpoint at all and cannot empathize with them. The last con i will cover is drama. It is very easy to get caught in some drama if you try to understand peoples problems, some of which may be very serious. Some people are not patient enough to deal with the newly acquired drama and can sometimes make the problem worse than it need to be.\n This list most definitely did not cover every pro or con associated with empathy because they will differ from person to person however i did cover a few recurring pros and cons. whether you think empathy is worth your time and energy is up to you and your values in life and social interaction.",

We are STEEMSQUAD, a Steemit inititative to promote diversity and quality of content by featuring authors from the school of minnows.
\n
\n
\n
WHAT is #steemsquad?
\n
Steemsquad is an initiative of multiple minnows whose objective is to promote diverse and quality content and their work which may not have a chance to get noticed when published in the main streem. STEEMSQUAD initiative will try to tweak the game to equally distribute the wealth among its members.
\n
STEEMSQUAD is a community-backed account responsible for posting blogs of qualified authors and at the same time upvotes quality blog posts of its members.
\n
Members of STEEMSQUAD are from across multiple timelines to ensure a 24/7 support and active participation in Steemit.
\n
The Issue at Hand
\n
For quite some time, there has been a noticeable trend as to who gets rewards. Those favored are the whales themselves, members with high reputation levels, incoming popular personalities and celebrities either from the cryptocurrency world or the entertainment world. A number of people from the finance institutions have joined as well and have garnered huge rewards on their \u201cintroductory\u201d posts.
\n
And what happens to those who are not celebrities, unknown personalities from not-so-popular backgrounds? Their posts get dumped, thrown into oblivion. Then all the sweat and blood poured spilled into writing the blog just go to waste. This is where #steemsquad comes in.
\n
\n
WHY We Do It?
\n
Steemit is a social media platform where **EVERYONE** gets paid for creating and curating content, as promised if and when you decide to dive into the Steemit Ocean.
\n
It leverages a robust digital points system, called Steem, that supports real value for digital rewards through market price discovery and liquidity.
\n
We aim to give EVERYONE a chance to get noticed, earn rewards, and be a part of a community of people helping people.
\n
You Can Succeed
\n
All HOPE is NOT LOST. We have seen minnows rise to the occasion. With a positive attitude, an unwavering determination, lots and lots of good quality posts (one is enough though to get you 15k, if you hit the nail on the head), there is no reason why you can\u2019t be successful here in Steemit.
\n
#steemsquad will support you along the way.
\n
OUR GOLDEN RULES
\n\n
We give priority to quality contents from low-powered profiles (minnows).
\n
The published author gets 100% of SBD. However, 50% of which goes to the author\u2019s SP to allow the author to power-up leveraging his/her SP to upvote other writers.
\n
Any SP earned by STEEMSQUAD remains in the STEEMSQUAD account to gain more voting power for the benefit of its members.
\n
Pay-it-forward. The powered-up author commits to help other writers by upvoting and commenting to blog post to increase the post\u2019s value.
\n\n

+ "body": "As I have stated in earlier posts, gardening is currently my obsession.. it's seems wild to me that the standard is to work for currency and trade currency for food rather than just growing your own food. \n
Here is my small harvest from this morning!
\nEvery morning I go out and eat a couple of my cherry tomatoes, a few leafy greens, and usually 1/2 a leaf of my sweet basil. It's a wonderful thing to wake up, take the dog out and get a healthy organic little snack. I love it.\nhttps://s14.postimg.org/62aqviz0h/IMG_1804.jpg\n\n\nI understand that gardening takes time, effort, and a little bit of knowledge but in my opinion it is one of the most reward \"hobbies.\" This is my first year gardening. I decided to garden this year because I have been doing more and more reading about the American food industry and my conclusion is that the American population are being made sick on purpose through the food we eat. I don't know exactly what does what in our food but it seems absolutely insane to me that we can't get the FDA to evaluate any dietary supplements but they will evaluate and even vouch for these lab made pharmaceutical drugs. \n\nAll of this lead me to feeling a strong urge to grow organic food. I honestly feel guilty when I feed my family and I don't fully believe in what we are eating. Don't get me wrong, I love pepperoni pizza but ignorance is bliss, and I am not ignorant to what I am eating. \n\nI believe I am slowly heading down the path of becoming a vegan as I gain more knowledge. I have always been a hunter and a fisherman, it's what I was taught as a young boy in the north woods. I love to hunt and fish, but I also have a very deep compassion for life. Not human life, but life in general. I believe that we are intelligent enough as a species to live without causing harm to other living things that are equipped with nervous systems. I guess I am just realizing day by day that things are not necessarily what I have been told... \n
This kind of sums up how I feel currently...
\nhttps://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/l/t1.0-9/14055085_858033764327944_5973630634223907699_n.jpg?oh=3e13ad53036a832c864d4aa6cdc359e9&oe=584DDBEC\n\nI am not a very good consumer. I am very frugal and calculated with my money, sometimes to a fault. I'm also not good at being an employee and just being a \"gear in the machine.\" I was not built to work and be told what to do while someone acts as if their employment position somehow gives them a higher status than I. We are humans, you just have a different job. These factors, and many others, have lead to me being self employed and trying to find my way on the internet. I have dabble in many things online and I have learned enough to at least provide myself with enough income to pay my mortgage, bills, etc.. \n\nI am also someone that is in the prepper mind state. I have started my small stockpile of beans, rice, and various other dried foods. I think that the American people have become complacent and many of us are just chasing the carrot we were instructed to chase. Many people seem to not realize the fact that we as a country heavily depend on other people or corporations for the things we use everyday. If water and electricity were to be shut off and panic set it, many people would die because they don't know what to do without someone else providing them with these luxuries. \n\nI don't like the idea of depending on anyone for anything. I have always been someone who provided for myself. I got a job at 14 years old at the local bakery working Saturday mornings so that I could get my first computer myself. I worked for weeks, since I was only getting paid $5.15/hour (roughly 13 years ago) it took me a long time to save up for a computer to play Counterstrike 1.5... We had 6 kids in our house in a \"middle class\" family, needless to say we were told to get jobs as early as possible to acquire our luxuries. Since then I have had the mindset that I don't want to allow someone else to be \"the hand that feeds\", and that applies to food, water, electricity, and even knowledge of my child. \n\nDEPENDENCY OPENS THE DOORS FOR EXPLOITATION! And in a capitalist driven global economy, if it can be exploited, it often is. \n\nMy apologies, there I go again, going of on some rant instead of just showing you the damn garden update. I already can't wait for next spring. I have been buying heirloom vegetable seeds and thrift shopping for large planters for $1 so that next year I can grow lots more. \n
This is the Pink Brandywine that I am so excited about!
\nThese guys took forever to grow. I didn't know what I was doing and I had put too many plants in 1 planter which caused them to compete for the nutrients. On top of them a strong storm came through and blew these guys over and bent there stalks horizontal. I really didn't know if I would get any fruit from them, but they are changing and I can't wait to eat these!\nhttps://s14.postimg.org/6cd7hr7b5/IMG_1801.jpg\n\nhttps://s14.postimg.org/e3txgbbgh/IMG_1800.jpg\n\nHere is a cucumber that is growing a little goofy. Not sure why but its like a beer can cucumber... lol\nhttps://s14.postimg.org/c1tg22dhd/IMG_1802.jpg\n\nA more normal cucumber... \nhttps://s14.postimg.org/610t23x6p/IMG_1803.jpg\n\nAnd this is my $3 table I built so that I could start my seeds indoors under some fluorescent lights. \n\n\nhttps://s14.postimg.org/6t3h1b1dt/IMG_1805.jpg\n\n\nThank you for reading and happy gardening!",

Before I was in a relationship, I didn't have much sex. My first sexual intercourse occurred while I was travelling overseas on a holiday by myself. I met a woman in hawaii at the airport, and later had sex with her.
\n
I had done a lot of masturbating prior to this. I had often thought about having sex, and I found that my sexual drive caused me to behave in ways that I normally wouldn't.
For example I would follow women I found attractive, or I would try to look up their skirts, or I would wander about at night to try to look into bedroom windows.
\n
When I met someone that I knew I would marry, I thought I would be able to have sex as much as I liked because my wife would always be available to have it with me. This turned out to be untrue. My wife didn't want to have sex as often as I wanted to, and I found myself still masturbating while I waited for the next time to come.
\n
I don't think women understand the power of their husband's sexual drive.
Men are attracted to women by how they look. It doesn't matter if they are strangers. Men will look at a woman dressed in a certain way and will start feeling horny. As soon as they ejaculate, the feeling of horniness goes, but will return in a couple of hours. When the sexual desire comes upon a man, it becomes his dominating thought, and it demands to be satisfied. That's why many men then masturbate in order to relieve the pressure on their thoughts. If unrelieved the pressure grows and if the wife is unwilling to have sex, then some men will look for other women to have sex with.
\n
The sexual pressure is constantly present in a man's mind until relief comes.
Women are more interested in relationship. Women have sex with a man in the hope that the man will want to stay in their life and have a relationship with them.
\n
Some women use sex as a bait to catch a man, and then when the relationship is happening, they are not as interested in sex anymore. Women enjoy sex, but as part of a fulfilling relationship. Men just want to put their penis into a vagina and ejaculate. As soon as ejaculation occurs, a lot of men lose all interest in the woman. The woman then feels hurt and used because she didn't get what she wanted which was relationship. Men will say anything they think a woman wants to hear in order to have sex.
\n
Wives who have sex with their husbands when not really wanting it, feel used by their husbands. Women also can be selfish when they demand sex from men who are not in the mood.
\n
God created sex to be enjoyed in a committed relationship between a man and a woman who are one person physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally.
\n
Sex is a part of the relationship, not the main thing. If a man demands sex then he is being selfish, and his relationship will be harmed if the woman gives sex to the man when she is not wanting to have it. If the man wants sex with his wife, then he must give her what she wants. He must romance her and give her a good relationship. Then if sex happens, it will be enjoyable for both of them. This will build the relationship.
Slightly more than a month since then, how did the Ethereum classic (ETC). The ETC team presented a \"road map\" of development of the project, at the first meeting of the supporters of Ethereum Classic (ETC), held on 18 August in London.
\n
The basic version of partitioning the network according to the version of ETC was this:
\n
\"The separation of Ethereum was the result of a difference in the understanding of the basic principle of cryptocurrency. At that time, as fork (ETH) was carried out to recover the stolen funds to investors DAO, Ethereum classic is the original version, based on the principle that \"code is law.\"
\n
Supporters of the ETS argue that the decentralization of infrastructure are insufficient to minimize the possibility of hacking and fraud. For example, the developers of Ethereum actively invested their funds in DAO. Therefore, the decision about hard forks could be dictated by a conflict of interest.
\n
Community ETC believes that all key aspects of the ecosystem should be decentralized, including technological functions such as research and development, and public and administrative functions, including marketing, development and management of the DAPP.
\n
There are plans to remove so-called \"bomb of complexity\" (constant increase in the complexity of mining at ETH) to provide POW mining and make ETC more viable for the miners.
\n
In addition, the community is considering a new economic policy and hybrid solutions using Proof-of-stake (PoS). And, finally, developed new technology to ensure the functioning of \"smart contracts\", but no details.
\n
Classic Ethereum plans to develop the community to the upcoming events in Toronto, Shanghai and Melbourne. These meetings should be used to create local centers. In addition, the stage of development of the relationships with universities, startups and companies. Road map to the end of this year aims to reach consensus with the main team ETC. and receive financial support of developers from third parties.
\n
Initially, the team ETC was planning to copy all the updates that are entered in the ETH, but later decided to give myself a certain amount of autonomy. how and by whom it will be implemented - at the moment neizvestnoy
\n
In 2017, ETC will test different mechanisms of consensus and optimal monetary policy system. In addition, meetings will be held in an expanded format to appeal to a greater number of miners and the following year to create their own ecosystem the development of DAPP.
\n
Perhaps in the course of the year will be able to understand how realistic are attempts to \"overtake and surpass\" team Baterina in the main activities of the Ethereum project.
\n
By 2018, the community ETC choose PoW or hybrid mechanism of consensus and create the proper monetary policy.
\n
More concrete steps at this meeting was not presented.
\n
The rate continues to fall.
\n
Despite the publication of the road map and programme of community development, exchange rate ETC continues to fall. ETC cryptocurrency by market capitalization behind Litecoin and Steem, even given the significant losses the last, and is now in sixth place. ETC remains below the psychologically important level of $2.00 that is displayed on the chart.
\n
\n
ETC trend/USD exchange Poloniex has broken below the most recent level of the fractal at $1.60. A daily close below this level should lead us to a level of $1.34. Please note that the conversion line (blue) currently has resistance at $ 1.7235.
\n
In addition, the trading volume of the Ethereum classic naturally falling after the initial hype created around this cryptocurrency. This also indicates a greater risk and tells about the deterioration of the situation. Thus, the market is looking down with a possible reversal on the $ 1.34 or even $ 1.00.

+ "body": "Hi, I'm A.M for now, I'm in my mid-20s and want to share my story with working and facing this thing called life after I watched a lot of YouTubers like Thomas James \"TomSka\" David Brown \u201cboyinaband\u201d and many others who have very openly shared their hardships, they have inspired me to write this\u2026.. Whatever this is.\nI don't consider myself a good writer so bare with me here.\nTo try to keep this post organized and make sense I'll highlight the point I want to talk about and tell the relevant part of my story, you can connect the pieces all together at the end.\n\n**First how am I?** \nI grow up in the countryside I went to normal school when I was yang, because I was the quiet introvert and wasn't from the town I was in I got bullied a lot for most of my time at school, I got through school time knowing just two friends, I was OK with it.\nI genuinely lost interest in school when I was in the ninth grade It seemed more like a memory test than a way of learning so I started looking for ways to make money, \"why waste time learning things irrelevant in real life if I can make money now\" my naive 16 years old self said, don't get me wrong I didn't think I was done with learning I just wanted to learn in my own way, and I didn't stop school, now I'm in part time Business school, so back then I started looking for any way to make money in the last 5 year I tried: working in sales for over 2 years, selling products online, becoming instructor online, worked as SEO & social media consultant, tried starting my own business for 4 times, and for the last year and half I taught myself how to program and how to use Unity game engine and now I'm working on my first game, I can easily and proudly say that I didn't succeed at any of what I did so far, but I've learned a lot every time and I would do it all over again if I had the chance.\nThe process of picking myself up every single freaking time was a living hell and I got desperate many times.\nbecause I saw a lot of people feeling relevant to what David said in his video I want to share how I managed to keep my sanity and my opinion about some point he brought in his video.\n\n\n**Not thinking your work is good enough:**\nIs that really a bad thing? not being satisfied with what you just accomplished is a sign that you always look forward to what you still can do.\nI remember after I published my first course on Udemy I got invited to a hangout and I went for it I thought I'll give myself some slack, while I was there someone shouted out \"this guy here just published his first course let all give him a clap shall we\" for some reason he thought that was a good idea, I don't think I can blame him his intentions were good, I never tried to put a smile as hard as I did that moment I guess I just didn't want to look like a selfish prick, but the truth that I wasn't happy about what I accomplished I was thinking about my bad English poor structure of the course and was I being a sellout for trying to sell my knowledge? halfway of creating the course, I was already thinking about 5 other things I wanted to do next.\nI think there's nothing wrong about not being satisfied with what you finish, I think It's a good sign of an ambitious creator.\nWhen you first make the decision to accomplish something It looks like that godly thing that you think It would feel good to have or do, but when you start turning that big sexy thing to a small to-do list somewhere the appeal you had to that thing will disappear to a certain point, it's not that godly sexy thing you thought about before it's becoming a part of your routine now you know the process of doing that thing It's not a mystery anymore.\nI think that's why they say: \"It's about the journey, not the destination\".\n\n\n**Not taking care of yourself:**\nIt's hard to keep taking care of yourself to others people standards, whether it's about looking ripped putting makeup or buying the latest clothes, instead find your own save point and move forward from there if you feel the need to.\nWhen I was working in seals I had to look my best most of the time's which was exhausting more than the work itself and what made it worst is that some coworkers starting hinting that I need to start working out to look sharper and more confident.\nBecause I was desperate for results from my work I started going to the gym and I got stuck at joining for a month or two then giving up for half a year couple of times, every time I stopped going to the gym I over beat myself saying that I need this for my work, I need more money to do a lot of things, if this work didn't go well what else Am I going to do, eventually I usually took it out on food, I don't even want to start thinking what would have happened to me if my body was able to store fat.\nTrying to take care of yourself to others standards can be very exhausting, I felt down because I was putting so much effort in things I don't really care about to get others approval, I genuinely don't care about having a ripped body, it would look cool sure but I'm not willing to put all that effort into health and looks at least for now, who knows maybe in the future things will be better and I'll be willing to put the effort necessary to have 6 pack abs (wink wink ladies).\nNowadays I eat better than I used to, I still eat some junk food but things are much much better than they were 2 years ago, when I fell down I still go buy and drink a liter of Pepsi but at some point that was my morning coffee, as for my looks I cut my hair very short so I would have one less thing to worry about in the morning, I shave my beard once every couple of weeks I change my cloth every two or three days even if I didn't go out.\nThe point is I take care of myself for my own sack, It was much worse before and I'll always keep working to improve pit by pit.\nIt's about building habits not getting motivated for a couple of weeks then beating yourself for not being able to keep up.\n\n\n**Not mastering one skill:**\nI worked in sales, instructed online, worked as SEO and social media consultant, self taught myself how to program and make games but I don\u2019t think I\u2019m the right person to talk about this, all I\u2019m saying that if you didn\u2019t find that one true call that is right for you, you might be a \u201cmultipotentialite\u201d if you want to know what exactly does this mean I urge you to watch Emilie talk at TedX\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJORi5VO1F8\nAnd check the blog too if you want to know more \nhttp://puttylike.com/\n\n**Everything happens for a reason........ or does it?**\nWhen I was young I was fortunate to know a good old religious man, I don\u2019t know about your perspective about religions but hear me out this isn\u2019t a sermon, I still remember when he tried to teach me that everything happens for a reason I was like \u201cWHAT\u2026\u2026. Oh really, then what is the reason for this and this and that\u201d my question didn\u2019t stop and I wasn\u2019t asking nicely either yet, somehow he was calm about it like some kind of monk, I don\u2019t know if I ruined his day or not but I feel bad for taking the world misery out on him that day, he was just a simple man who was doing what he think is good for others, his intentions were good but unfortunately for him I wasn\u2019t a simple person, I overthink everything and everyone, it\u2019s my blessing and my curse, later I told my family about him and I was surprised that they knew him, apparently everyone knows each other in the countryside, they told me about what he was facing lately personally, financially, and emotionally, I didn\u2019t believe that someone who is facing all that isn\u2019t depressed or angry and even trying to do good for others at least by his believes, I wanted to know more about him he got my interest, I wanted to know if he\u2019s an imposter who is just putting a good face or not because a part of me didn\u2019t believe how can he be that good, I kept asking about him from time to time and sometimes I even went to his \u201clessons\u201d, eventually I went to face him with what I know about him like a detective facing a criminal, the crime of being that simple yet trying to be better than me, It\u2019s pathetic I know It\u2019s just how my brain works sometimes, because I used to take pride of being logical about everything and not believing in anything without questioning it, it bothered me how can he be at peace with his life and I\u2019m not even that he\u2019s facing a lot more than I\u2019m, I faced him and told him everything then asked how can you be this calm about everything that is happening in your life, he had a faint smile and said \u201cI don\u2019t know the reason for everything that is happening right now but everything happens for a reason\u201d I remember holding my fist hard and walking away, maybe I was holding my fist trying not to hit him for not being realistic like me or probably not to beat myself for not being half the man that he was.\nI don\u2019t know about your perspective about religions and I\u2019m not here to tell you about mine but I respect that some religions teach that everything happens for a reason, is it the truth? Does everything happens for a reason? I don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t think that is even the point, It\u2019s silly to even get in an argument about this because no one can be sure about it, it\u2019s simply just a belief, it\u2019s simply teach you to not overthink about the reasons for everything around you, just learn from it if you can and focus on what you can do, it\u2019s kind of funny for me to tell you not to overthink about somethings because I\u2019m sure my 19 year old me would punch me right in the face, but it\u2019s just too draining and exhausting to try to find a reason for every bad thing that have happened to me or to others.\nIn the last three years two of my best friends died, the first one I knew for about nine years and the other one for around five, both killed, both in a way they didn\u2019t deserve to, each time I had to force myself to focus on the 0.0000001% full part of the cup or else I would have lose my sanity.\nI would hate to think what would be my thought process if someone tried to sell me religion like a product, some of them would be like \u201cHi son, you should follow my beliefs because I\u2019m 100% sure that I\u2019m right and everybody else is wrong and if you don\u2019t, well you\u2019re FU**ED\u201d that would have disfigured some of the beliefs that helped me get better.\nControlling your stream of thoughts will be the hardest thing you\u2019ll ever have to do in your life, but if mastered it you\u2019ll become unstoppable.\n\n\nI\u2019ve been getting into the game industry for around year and half now, I don\u2019t have any experiance in the field but I\u2019ve other experiences that many don\u2019t, working in sales made me learn a lot about people's motivations and incentives, I saw a lot of people jump to make purchase while other chicken out last minute, you don\u2019t get to learn about this in a book or an NLP course, you only get to learn this experience by working in sales first hand, working as an SEO and social media consultant made me care about the little details like posting in the right social medias that is more relevant to your audience, more isn\u2019t always better, choosing the right words colors and timing for best result, sometimes modifying your content for a better marketing or not going into a certain niche even if there\u2019s an audience for it because it doesn\u2019t suit your brand, teaching online made me learn that the selling point isn\u2019t the end goal, helping and mentoring students even after they have purchased the course was way more important than I thought, the feedback I got about the course was crucial to take the course to the next level and some student even helped me with some marketing.\nIf you know anything about the mobile game industry you can see how these experiences can be helpful, I can imagine the kind of journey I want to create for the player because I can build the motivations and incentives I want for him, while I\u2019m building the player journey I\u2019ll always keep in mind to put the monetization and ads the right way so all of them can work seamlessly together for a better player experience, and taking care of existing players and community will always be a priority, I wasn\u2019t happy and cheerful when I had to learn these experiences the hard way, I thought I was just failing, I even remember crying myself to sleep every time I decided to pull the plug on something I was working on, but eventually It worked out somehow I think.\n\u201cyou can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life\u201d.\nSteve Jobs\n\n\nI want to share some of the tricks I used that helped my in general to get my life together:\n\n**Music**\nlisten to cheerful music, even if it might not be exactly what you listen to usually but try them for a while, my favorite type or music is Rock and Metal it\u2019s loud and make me feel empowered but sometimes it's not what I need to change my mood so I started listening to electro music mostly Drum & bass, I didn\u2019t like it at first, I\u2019m human I don\u2019t like to change, but forcing myself to listen to it for while change my perspective about it and I started listening to it while I\u2019m working, and it worked.\n\n\n**habits not motivation**\nWe\u2019re slaves to our habits, it\u2019s exhausting to do something that\u2019s you\u2019re not used to for quite a while, so invest your effort and time to build your habits pit by pit no matter how slow it will take, measure your progress and celebrate your success no matter how small they\u2019re, it\u2019ll make all the difference in your life in the long term.\n\n**work in a group**\nNo matter how introverted person you think you\u2019re, you\u2019re still human at the end of day and you need your dose of human interaction so try to work in group if you can, if you don\u2019t have that luxury (like me) work out side from time to time, library, coffee shop, parks all works, changing your surrounding and environment can change your mood, you can try changing your room\\office decor every couple of weeks too.\n\n**warm-blooded pet**\nGet a warm-blooded pet it helps, I tried fish and turtles but didn\u2019t really work for me they just stared at me with their empty eyes, I have a cat for two year now and It helped, maybe it\u2019s having the sense of that there is a creature that needs you to look after him, it\u2019s helped me not to feel completely unworthy in some bad day.\n\n\nFinally I hope this help you in any way it can, and hope it will find its way to all who needs it.",

Ok, I surrender! A horrible picture of myself holding a piece of paper. I have to say, I don't get it. I hate taking pictures of myself. But, several of you have insisted, so... you win, here it is, verification for @gringalicious
\n
\n
I am a 20 year old food blogger living in Chile with my crazy family. You can read more about that at my first attempt of introducing myself here: Gringalicious Intro . I have a passion for cooking and a passion for photography. Yeah, I know, you can't tell by the photo above, but I digress. You can see examples of my passion on my page @gringalicious. I don't like labels necessarily, but let's just say I don't like the state and those conditioned by the state telling me what to do. Nor do I like telling others how they should liver their lives. I will post more on those topics at a later date.
\n
The idea of #Steemit thoroughly intrigues me. I look forward to being part of the community!
\n
And since I am here talking about myself, I was featured in a magazine recently. Not trying to promote the magazine necessarily, just trying to add validity to my verification. And, I have to admit, I just a little proud of myself.
\n
\n
\n
\n
Later this week, I'll be posting a recipe with a #steemitlogo incorporated in it. So, keep an eye out for it.
\n
I do hope this helps satisfy the request that many of you have made. If I need to do something different, please let me know. I actually like corrective criticism so bring it on.
\n
Until my next post, hasta luego mis amigos
\n
Tori

You know, facts.\n\nWhile talk of \"new tools\" needed to fight the next recession unofficially dominated the annual meeting of our monetary overlords in Wyoming, it is quite clear that the main weapon in their arsenal is the same as it was then; to maintain control over human beings by selling a never ending stream of fiction to the public.\n\n\"it may take a massive program, large enough even to shock taxpayers\"\n\"hard to convince markets and households that things will get better\"\n\"encourage the shift in mood\"\n\"prevent public expectations\"\n\"do not respond in expected ways\"\n\nAnd this gem\u2026 \"In modern monetary theory, households and business expectations are felt to play a defining role.\"\n\nSounds really modern!\n\nThe article ends with this\u2026 \"It was not clear whether such ideas will catch on.

+ "body": "Empathy is an interesting aspect of human nature that many people do not possess. Empathy in short is the ability to view an scenario from a different perspective than your own, normally to better understand someone's perspective on certain topics or ideas. This handy skill is a learned skill and when used effectively can be used to better understand humanity.\nBut as with every neat skill, they tend to have as many pros as they do cons. So i will attempt to explain the pros and cons that i have found apparent with empathy.\n There are quite a few pros to empathy, one of which being in your reputation. A person who uses empathy often is normally seen as a loving compassionate person. Another pro that is quite noticeable is the ability to understand unexplained problems. On occasion if a problem really troubles someone or is very personal, most people will not tell anyone about it. But with empathy you can figure out what is troubling them sometimes with something as simple as \"How have you been?\". A more prominent pro of using empathy is better understanding how a person truly is. Most people wear a \"Facade\" in public or a metaphorical mask, these tend to hide their true personality from the public eye and conceal most things about them. Using empathy, you can work around the \"Facade\" and figure out how they truly are as a person, and most of the time appreciate them a bit more.\n Empathy has allot of pros but also has its fair share of cons to go with it, a good example of one of its cons is a changed perspective. under most circumstances, use of empathy becomes a habit and changes your outlook on everyone around you. This is not really very terrible, but it can lead to you disliking a person more than would have normally. Another apparent con is over-assessing someone. This can happen when you use empathy on someone and spot something that would make you feel awful, but in truth does not faze them. Here is an example. You are talking with a person and figure out that they don't have a mother. To you that may seem horrible and you start pitying them, when in truth it may not even matter to them in the slightest. A more cumbersome problem with empathy lies with information. In order to understand or sympathize with someone you need to understand the problems they put up with. If you ask too many questions about their life, they may find you \"Nosy\" or \"Annoying\". On the contrary, if you do not inquire very much about them, you will not have any idea of their standpoint at all and cannot empathize with them. The last con i will cover is drama. It is very easy to get caught in some drama if you try to understand peoples problems, some of which may be very serious. Some people are not patient enough to deal with the newly acquired drama and can sometimes make the problem worse than it need to be.\n This list most definitely did not cover every pro or con associated with empathy because they will differ from person to person however i did cover a few recurring pros and cons. whether you think empathy is worth your time and energy is up to you and your values in life and social interaction.",

We are STEEMSQUAD, a Steemit inititative to promote diversity and quality of content by featuring authors from the school of minnows.
\n
\n
\n
WHAT is #steemsquad?
\n
Steemsquad is an initiative of multiple minnows whose objective is to promote diverse and quality content and their work which may not have a chance to get noticed when published in the main streem. STEEMSQUAD initiative will try to tweak the game to equally distribute the wealth among its members.
\n
STEEMSQUAD is a community-backed account responsible for posting blogs of qualified authors and at the same time upvotes quality blog posts of its members.
\n
Members of STEEMSQUAD are from across multiple timelines to ensure a 24/7 support and active participation in Steemit.
\n
The Issue at Hand
\n
For quite some time, there has been a noticeable trend as to who gets rewards. Those favored are the whales themselves, members with high reputation levels, incoming popular personalities and celebrities either from the cryptocurrency world or the entertainment world. A number of people from the finance institutions have joined as well and have garnered huge rewards on their \u201cintroductory\u201d posts.
\n
And what happens to those who are not celebrities, unknown personalities from not-so-popular backgrounds? Their posts get dumped, thrown into oblivion. Then all the sweat and blood poured spilled into writing the blog just go to waste. This is where #steemsquad comes in.
\n
\n
WHY We Do It?
\n
Steemit is a social media platform where **EVERYONE** gets paid for creating and curating content, as promised if and when you decide to dive into the Steemit Ocean.
\n
It leverages a robust digital points system, called Steem, that supports real value for digital rewards through market price discovery and liquidity.
\n
We aim to give EVERYONE a chance to get noticed, earn rewards, and be a part of a community of people helping people.
\n
You Can Succeed
\n
All HOPE is NOT LOST. We have seen minnows rise to the occasion. With a positive attitude, an unwavering determination, lots and lots of good quality posts (one is enough though to get you 15k, if you hit the nail on the head), there is no reason why you can\u2019t be successful here in Steemit.
\n
#steemsquad will support you along the way.
\n
OUR GOLDEN RULES
\n\n
We give priority to quality contents from low-powered profiles (minnows).
\n
The published author gets 100% of SBD. However, 50% of which goes to the author\u2019s SP to allow the author to power-up leveraging his/her SP to upvote other writers.
\n
Any SP earned by STEEMSQUAD remains in the STEEMSQUAD account to gain more voting power for the benefit of its members.
\n
Pay-it-forward. The powered-up author commits to help other writers by upvoting and commenting to blog post to increase the post\u2019s value.

+ "body": "As I have stated in earlier posts, gardening is currently my obsession.. it's seems wild to me that the standard is to work for currency and trade currency for food rather than just growing your own food. \n
Here is my small harvest from this morning!
\nEvery morning I go out and eat a couple of my cherry tomatoes, a few leafy greens, and usually 1/2 a leaf of my sweet basil. It's a wonderful thing to wake up, take the dog out and get a healthy organic little snack. I love it.\nhttps://s14.postimg.org/62aqviz0h/IMG_1804.jpg\n\n\nI understand that gardening takes time, effort, and a little bit of knowledge but in my opinion it is one of the most reward \"hobbies.\" This is my first year gardening. I decided to garden this year because I have been doing more and more reading about the American food industry and my conclusion is that the American population are being made sick on purpose through the food we eat. I don't know exactly what does what in our food but it seems absolutely insane to me that we can't get the FDA to evaluate any dietary supplements but they will evaluate and even vouch for these lab made pharmaceutical drugs. \n\nAll of this lead me to feeling a strong urge to grow organic food. I honestly feel guilty when I feed my family and I don't fully believe in what we are eating. Don't get me wrong, I love pepperoni pizza but ignorance is bliss, and I am not ignorant to what I am eating. \n\nI believe I am slowly heading down the path of becoming a vegan as I gain more knowledge. I have always been a hunter and a fisherman, it's what I was taught as a young boy in the north woods. I love to hunt and fish, but I also have a very deep compassion for life. Not human life, but life in general. I believe that we are intelligent enough as a species to live without causing harm to other living things that are equipped with nervous systems. I guess I am just realizing day by day that things are not necessarily what I have been told... \n
This kind of sums up how I feel currently...
\nhttps://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/l/t1.0-9/14055085_858033764327944_5973630634223907699_n.jpg?oh=3e13ad53036a832c864d4aa6cdc359e9&oe=584DDBEC\n\nI am not a very good consumer. I am very frugal and calculated with my money, sometimes to a fault. I'm also not good at being an employee and just being a \"gear in the machine.\" I was not built to work and be told what to do while someone acts as if their employment position somehow gives them a higher status than I. We are humans, you just have a different job. These factors, and many others, have lead to me being self employed and trying to find my way on the internet. I have dabble in many things online and I have learned enough to at least provide myself with enough income to pay my mortgage, bills, etc.. \n\nI am also someone that is in the prepper mind state. I have started my small stockpile of beans, rice, and various other dried foods. I think that the American people have become complacent and many of us are just chasing the carrot we were instructed to chase. Many people seem to not realize the fact that we as a country heavily depend on other people or corporations for the things we use everyday. If water and electricity were to be shut off and panic set it, many people would die because they don't know what to do without someone else providing them with these luxuries. \n\nI don't like the idea of depending on anyone for anything. I have always been someone who provided for myself. I got a job at 14 years old at the local bakery working Saturday mornings so that I could get my first computer myself. I worked for weeks, since I was only getting paid $5.15/hour (roughly 13 years ago) it took me a long time to save up for a computer to play Counterstrike 1.5... We had 6 kids in our house in a \"middle class\" family, needless to say we were told to get jobs as early as possible to acquire our luxuries. Since then I have had the mindset that I don't want to allow someone else to be \"the hand that feeds\", and that applies to food, water, electricity, and even knowledge of my child. \n\nDEPENDENCY OPENS THE DOORS FOR EXPLOITATION! And in a capitalist driven global economy, if it can be exploited, it often is. \n\nMy apologies, there I go again, going of on some rant instead of just showing you the damn garden update. I already can't wait for next spring. I have been buying heirloom vegetable seeds and thrift shopping for large planters for $1 so that next year I can grow lots more. \n
This is the Pink Brandywine that I am so excited about!
\nThese guys took forever to grow. I didn't know what I was doing and I had put too many plants in 1 planter which caused them to compete for the nutrients. On top of them a strong storm came through and blew these guys over and bent there stalks horizontal. I really didn't know if I would get any fruit from them, but they are changing and I can't wait to eat these!\nhttps://s14.postimg.org/6cd7hr7b5/IMG_1801.jpg\n\nhttps://s14.postimg.org/e3txgbbgh/IMG_1800.jpg\n\nHere is a cucumber that is growing a little goofy. Not sure why but its like a beer can cucumber... lol\nhttps://s14.postimg.org/c1tg22dhd/IMG_1802.jpg\n\nA more normal cucumber... \nhttps://s14.postimg.org/610t23x6p/IMG_1803.jpg\n\nAnd this is my $3 table I built so that I could start my seeds indoors under some fluorescent lights. \n\n\nhttps://s14.postimg.org/6t3h1b1dt/IMG_1805.jpg\n\n\nThank you for reading and happy gardening!",

Before I was in a relationship, I didn't have much sex. My first sexual intercourse occurred while I was travelling overseas on a holiday by myself. I met a woman in hawaii at the airport, and later had sex with her.
\n
I had done a lot of masturbating prior to this. I had often thought about having sex, and I found that my sexual drive caused me to behave in ways that I normally wouldn't.
For example I would follow women I found attractive, or I would try to look up their skirts, or I would wander about at night to try to look into bedroom windows.
\n
When I met someone that I knew I would marry, I thought I would be able to have sex as much as I liked because my wife would always be available to have it with me. This turned out to be untrue. My wife didn't want to have sex as often as I wanted to, and I found myself still masturbating while I waited for the next time to come.
\n
I don't think women understand the power of their husband's sexual drive.
Men are attracted to women by how they look. It doesn't matter if they are strangers. Men will look at a woman dressed in a certain way and will start feeling horny. As soon as they ejaculate, the feeling of horniness goes, but will return in a couple of hours. When the sexual desire comes upon a man, it becomes his dominating thought, and it demands to be satisfied. That's why many men then masturbate in order to relieve the pressure on their thoughts. If unrelieved the pressure grows and if the wife is unwilling to have sex, then some men will look for other women to have sex with.
\n
The sexual pressure is constantly present in a man's mind until relief comes.
Women are more interested in relationship. Women have sex with a man in the hope that the man will want to stay in their life and have a relationship with them.
\n
Some women use sex as a bait to catch a man, and then when the relationship is happening, they are not as interested in sex anymore. Women enjoy sex, but as part of a fulfilling relationship. Men just want to put their penis into a vagina and ejaculate. As soon as ejaculation occurs, a lot of men lose all interest in the woman. The woman then feels hurt and used because she didn't get what she wanted which was relationship. Men will say anything they think a woman wants to hear in order to have sex.
\n
Wives who have sex with their husbands when not really wanting it, feel used by their husbands. Women also can be selfish when they demand sex from men who are not in the mood.
\n
God created sex to be enjoyed in a committed relationship between a man and a woman who are one person physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally.
\n
Sex is a part of the relationship, not the main thing. If a man demands sex then he is being selfish, and his relationship will be harmed if the woman gives sex to the man when she is not wanting to have it. If the man wants sex with his wife, then he must give her what she wants. He must romance her and give her a good relationship. Then if sex happens, it will be enjoyable for both of them. This will build the relationship.

+ "body": "Hi, I'm A.M for now, I'm in my mid-20s and want to share my story with working and facing this thing called life after I watched a lot of YouTubers like Thomas James \"TomSka\" David Brown \u201cboyinaband\u201d and many others who have very openly shared their hardships, they have inspired me to write this\u2026.. Whatever this is.\nI don't consider myself a good writer so bare with me here.\nTo try to keep this post organized and make sense I'll highlight the point I want to talk about and tell the relevant part of my story, you can connect the pieces all together at the end.\n\n**First how am I?** \nI grow up in the countryside I went to normal school when I was yang, because I was the quiet introvert and wasn't from the town I was in I got bullied a lot for most of my time at school, I got through school time knowing just two friends, I was OK with it.\nI genuinely lost interest in school when I was in the ninth grade It seemed more like a memory test than a way of learning so I started looking for ways to make money, \"why waste time learning things irrelevant in real life if I can make money now\" my naive 16 years old self said, don't get me wrong I didn't think I was done with learning I just wanted to learn in my own way, and I didn't stop school, now I'm in part time Business school, so back then I started looking for any way to make money in the last 5 year I tried: working in sales for over 2 years, selling products online, becoming instructor online, worked as SEO & social media consultant, tried starting my own business for 4 times, and for the last year and half I taught myself how to program and how to use Unity game engine and now I'm working on my first game, I can easily and proudly say that I didn't succeed at any of what I did so far, but I've learned a lot every time and I would do it all over again if I had the chance.\nThe process of picking myself up every single freaking time was a living hell and I got desperate many times.\nbecause I saw a lot of people feeling relevant to what David said in his video I want to share how I managed to keep my sanity and my opinion about some point he brought in his video.\n\n\n**Not thinking your work is good enough:**\nIs that really a bad thing? not being satisfied with what you just accomplished is a sign that you always look forward to what you still can do.\nI remember after I published my first course on Udemy I got invited to a hangout and I went for it I thought I'll give myself some slack, while I was there someone shouted out \"this guy here just published his first course let all give him a clap shall we\" for some reason he thought that was a good idea, I don't think I can blame him his intentions were good, I never tried to put a smile as hard as I did that moment I guess I just didn't want to look like a selfish prick, but the truth that I wasn't happy about what I accomplished I was thinking about my bad English poor structure of the course and was I being a sellout for trying to sell my knowledge? halfway of creating the course, I was already thinking about 5 other things I wanted to do next.\nI think there's nothing wrong about not being satisfied with what you finish, I think It's a good sign of an ambitious creator.\nWhen you first make the decision to accomplish something It looks like that godly thing that you think It would feel good to have or do, but when you start turning that big sexy thing to a small to-do list somewhere the appeal you had to that thing will disappear to a certain point, it's not that godly sexy thing you thought about before it's becoming a part of your routine now you know the process of doing that thing It's not a mystery anymore.\nI think that's why they say: \"It's about the journey, not the destination\".\n\n\n**Not taking care of yourself:**\nIt's hard to keep taking care of yourself to others people standards, whether it's about looking ripped putting makeup or buying the latest clothes, instead find your own save point and move forward from there if you feel the need to.\nWhen I was working in seals I had to look my best most of the time's which was exhausting more than the work itself and what made it worst is that some coworkers starting hinting that I need to start working out to look sharper and more confident.\nBecause I was desperate for results from my work I started going to the gym and I got stuck at joining for a month or two then giving up for half a year couple of times, every time I stopped going to the gym I over beat myself saying that I need this for my work, I need more money to do a lot of things, if this work didn't go well what else Am I going to do, eventually I usually took it out on food, I don't even want to start thinking what would have happened to me if my body was able to store fat.\nTrying to take care of yourself to others standards can be very exhausting, I felt down because I was putting so much effort in things I don't really care about to get others approval, I genuinely don't care about having a ripped body, it would look cool sure but I'm not willing to put all that effort into health and looks at least for now, who knows maybe in the future things will be better and I'll be willing to put the effort necessary to have 6 pack abs (wink wink ladies).\nNowadays I eat better than I used to, I still eat some junk food but things are much much better than they were 2 years ago, when I fell down I still go buy and drink a liter of Pepsi but at some point that was my morning coffee, as for my looks I cut my hair very short so I would have one less thing to worry about in the morning, I shave my beard once every couple of weeks I change my cloth every two or three days even if I didn't go out.\nThe point is I take care of myself for my own sack, It was much worse before and I'll always keep working to improve pit by pit.\nIt's about building habits not getting motivated for a couple of weeks then beating yourself for not being able to keep up.\n\n\n**Not mastering one skill:**\nI worked in sales, instructed online, worked as SEO and social media consultant, self taught myself how to program and make games but I don\u2019t think I\u2019m the right person to talk about this, all I\u2019m saying that if you didn\u2019t find that one true call that is right for you, you might be a \u201cmultipotentialite\u201d if you want to know what exactly does this mean I urge you to watch Emilie talk at TedX\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJORi5VO1F8\nAnd check the blog too if you want to know more \nhttp://puttylike.com/\n\n**Everything happens for a reason........ or does it?**\nWhen I was young I was fortunate to know a good old religious man, I don\u2019t know about your perspective about religions but hear me out this isn\u2019t a sermon, I still remember when he tried to teach me that everything happens for a reason I was like \u201cWHAT\u2026\u2026. Oh really, then what is the reason for this and this and that\u201d my question didn\u2019t stop and I wasn\u2019t asking nicely either yet, somehow he was calm about it like some kind of monk, I don\u2019t know if I ruined his day or not but I feel bad for taking the world misery out on him that day, he was just a simple man who was doing what he think is good for others, his intentions were good but unfortunately for him I wasn\u2019t a simple person, I overthink everything and everyone, it\u2019s my blessing and my curse, later I told my family about him and I was surprised that they knew him, apparently everyone knows each other in the countryside, they told me about what he was facing lately personally, financially, and emotionally, I didn\u2019t believe that someone who is facing all that isn\u2019t depressed or angry and even trying to do good for others at least by his believes, I wanted to know more about him he got my interest, I wanted to know if he\u2019s an imposter who is just putting a good face or not because a part of me didn\u2019t believe how can he be that good, I kept asking about him from time to time and sometimes I even went to his \u201clessons\u201d, eventually I went to face him with what I know about him like a detective facing a criminal, the crime of being that simple yet trying to be better than me, It\u2019s pathetic I know It\u2019s just how my brain works sometimes, because I used to take pride of being logical about everything and not believing in anything without questioning it, it bothered me how can he be at peace with his life and I\u2019m not even that he\u2019s facing a lot more than I\u2019m, I faced him and told him everything then asked how can you be this calm about everything that is happening in your life, he had a faint smile and said \u201cI don\u2019t know the reason for everything that is happening right now but everything happens for a reason\u201d I remember holding my fist hard and walking away, maybe I was holding my fist trying not to hit him for not being realistic like me or probably not to beat myself for not being half the man that he was.\nI don\u2019t know about your perspective about religions and I\u2019m not here to tell you about mine but I respect that some religions teach that everything happens for a reason, is it the truth? Does everything happens for a reason? I don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t think that is even the point, It\u2019s silly to even get in an argument about this because no one can be sure about it, it\u2019s simply just a belief, it\u2019s simply teach you to not overthink about the reasons for everything around you, just learn from it if you can and focus on what you can do, it\u2019s kind of funny for me to tell you not to overthink about somethings because I\u2019m sure my 19 year old me would punch me right in the face, but it\u2019s just too draining and exhausting to try to find a reason for every bad thing that have happened to me or to others.\nIn the last three years two of my best friends died, the first one I knew for about nine years and the other one for around five, both killed, both in a way they didn\u2019t deserve to, each time I had to force myself to focus on the 0.0000001% full part of the cup or else I would have lose my sanity.\nI would hate to think what would be my thought process if someone tried to sell me religion like a product, some of them would be like \u201cHi son, you should follow my beliefs because I\u2019m 100% sure that I\u2019m right and everybody else is wrong and if you don\u2019t, well you\u2019re FU**ED\u201d that would have disfigured some of the beliefs that helped me get better.\nControlling your stream of thoughts will be the hardest thing you\u2019ll ever have to do in your life, but if mastered it you\u2019ll become unstoppable.\n\n\nI\u2019ve been getting into the game industry for around year and half now, I don\u2019t have any experiance in the field but I\u2019ve other experiences that many don\u2019t, working in sales made me learn a lot about people's motivations and incentives, I saw a lot of people jump to make purchase while other chicken out last minute, you don\u2019t get to learn about this in a book or an NLP course, you only get to learn this experience by working in sales first hand, working as an SEO and social media consultant made me care about the little details like posting in the right social medias that is more relevant to your audience, more isn\u2019t always better, choosing the right words colors and timing for best result, sometimes modifying your content for a better marketing or not going into a certain niche even if there\u2019s an audience for it because it doesn\u2019t suit your brand, teaching online made me learn that the selling point isn\u2019t the end goal, helping and mentoring students even after they have purchased the course was way more important than I thought, the feedback I got about the course was crucial to take the course to the next level and some student even helped me with some marketing.\nIf you know anything about the mobile game industry you can see how these experiences can be helpful, I can imagine the kind of journey I want to create for the player because I can build the motivations and incentives I want for him, while I\u2019m building the player journey I\u2019ll always keep in mind to put the monetization and ads the right way so all of them can work seamlessly together for a better player experience, and taking care of existing players and community will always be a priority, I wasn\u2019t happy and cheerful when I had to learn these experiences the hard way, I thought I was just failing, I even remember crying myself to sleep every time I decided to pull the plug on something I was working on, but eventually It worked out somehow I think.\n\u201cyou can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life\u201d.\nSteve Jobs\n\n\nI want to share some of the tricks I used that helped my in general to get my life together:\n\n**Music**\nlisten to cheerful music, even if it might not be exactly what you listen to usually but try them for a while, my favorite type or music is Rock and Metal it\u2019s loud and make me feel empowered but sometimes it's not what I need to change my mood so I started listening to electro music mostly Drum & bass, I didn\u2019t like it at first, I\u2019m human I don\u2019t like to change, but forcing myself to listen to it for while change my perspective about it and I started listening to it while I\u2019m working, and it worked.\n\n\n**habits not motivation**\nWe\u2019re slaves to our habits, it\u2019s exhausting to do something that\u2019s you\u2019re not used to for quite a while, so invest your effort and time to build your habits pit by pit no matter how slow it will take, measure your progress and celebrate your success no matter how small they\u2019re, it\u2019ll make all the difference in your life in the long term.\n\n**work in a group**\nNo matter how introverted person you think you\u2019re, you\u2019re still human at the end of day and you need your dose of human interaction so try to work in group if you can, if you don\u2019t have that luxury (like me) work out side from time to time, library, coffee shop, parks all works, changing your surrounding and environment can change your mood, you can try changing your room\\office decor every couple of weeks too.\n\n**warm-blooded pet**\nGet a warm-blooded pet it helps, I tried fish and turtles but didn\u2019t really work for me they just stared at me with their empty eyes, I have a cat for two year now and It helped, maybe it\u2019s having the sense of that there is a creature that needs you to look after him, it\u2019s helped me not to feel completely unworthy in some bad day.\n\n\nFinally I hope this help you in any way it can, and hope it will find its way to all who needs it.",

This 24h period it's ideal because this way the post has better chances of overcoming the first publish period and get more traction.

\n
The purpose of property rights is to mitigate conflict over scarce, rivalrous resources. To have a property right over a scarce, rivalrous resource is to have the right to exclude others from using that resource in the attainment of some ends. For example, I have property rights over my body, which means I can exclude others from using my body for sexual pleasure or labor without my consent. If they do access my body in such a way without my consent, it's called rape or slavery, respectively. Likewise, I have property rights over the accumulated capital for which I consensually trade my time and labor, which means I have the right to exclude people from using my accumulated capital without my consent. When someone accesses my accumulated capital in such a way without my consent, it's called theft or trespass. \nScale doesn't change this. If I transform my accumulated capital into a factory by hiring people who voluntarily exchange the product of their labor for some of my accumulated capital, this means that they value what they receive in exchange for working more than they value the direct product of their labor (the factory). Likewise, it means I value the factory more than the accumulated capital I gave up for it. This is a win-win situation, or a positive sum game. The workers I hired retain property rights over the capital they received as payment for their labor, which means they can exclude others from the use of their newly acquired accumulated capital, and I retain property rights over the factory, which means I can exclude others from the use of my factory. \nDiscrepancies between marginal benefit don't change this either. A consensual exchange doesn't become theft just because one party benefits more from the exchange than another. If this wasn't the case, every single instance of buyer's remorse would be indicative of theft. If someone agrees to produce a walking stick in exchange for ten dollars and the purchaser of the walking stick then sells it to someone else for twenty dollars, how can it be claimed that the producer of the walking stick was a victim of theft if they haven't been deprived of the ten dollars for which they voluntarily exchanged the walking stick? Would it have been reasonable to expect that the first purchaser of the walking stick wouldn't have obtained more than ten dollars of value from it given that the exchange wouldn't have happened in the first place if they hadn't valued the walking stick more than they valued ten dollars? \nOf course not. Anything that happens to the walking stick after the original exchange is no business of the producer of the walking stick because said producer already exchanged his property rights to the walking stick for property rights to a different form of accumulated capital (ten dollars). \nLikewise, if I use more of my accumulated capital to hire workers to work in my factory, they will only accept my offer of employment if they value what I'm offering more than their own free time and more than whatever stake they may have otherwise had in the product they will be producing. In other words, if they accept employment, it will be with the understanding that they're giving up any stake in what they're producing in exchange for what I'm offering them. Maybe my factory assembles televisions. Maybe one worker can produce one television per hour. Would they be able to produce televisions this efficiently without my previous investment in production capital (which hasn't even been recouped and probably never will be completely given that maintenance, employment and higher order production good costs are a revolving door)? Would they be able to produce televisions AT ALL without this previous investment in production capital? Of course not, and they know this, which is why they're willing to give up both their leisure and whatever stake their labor may have otherwise entitled them to in the production of a television in exchange for a fixed amount of accumulated capital. \nAs was the case with the walking stick, whatever happens to the television after this exchange occurs is no business of the worker. How could the future sale of the television constitute theft of the worker's accumulated capital if it can't be demonstrated that the worker was deprived of the accumulated capital that he voluntarily accepted as payment for the production of the television, especially given that the television was produced with other accumulated capital (plastic, circuits, labor saving devices, etc.) that the worker never even owned? \nIt can't. \nProperty ownership necessarily implies exclusivity, which means that \"private property\" is redundant, as is \"personal property\". The words \"private\" and \"personal\" denote exclusivity, which is already implied by the word \"property\". To differentiate between \"personal property\" and \"private property\" is therefore a distinction without a difference. This implication of exclusivity also means that \"public property\" is a contradiction in terms. If no one can be excluded from using the resource, it isn't property. Resources that aren't scarce or rivalrous likewise can not be considered property, which means that \"intellectual property\" is also a contradiction in terms. \nThis means that seizing the means of production is a genuine form of theft and that \"pirating\" music, software, art and writing is not, which may seem counter-intuitive if you attended the indoctrination camps euphemistically known as \"public schools\" when you were growing up.

We're not reversing that,\" Obama said, describing the necessity of international supply chains and the importance of the export sector to U.S. jobs and the economy. \"The notion that we're going to pull that up root and branch is unrealistic.\"\n\nThe notification, a new requirement of the trade promotion authority legislation Congress passed last year to expedite passage of the Asia-Pacific pact, is \u201cmeant to ensure early consultations between the administration and Congress,\u201d Matt McAlvanah, a spokesman for the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, said in a statement. \u201cAs such, the draft SAA [Statement of Administrative Action] was sent today in order to continue to promote transparency and collaboration in the TPP process.\u201d\n\nThe White House's draft document describes the major steps the administration will take to implement any changes to U.S. law required by the deal. Those actions range from the mundane \u2014 designating an administration point of contact for communications about the pact \u2014 to the complex \u2014 setting up procedures to stop harmful surges of agricultural or textile imports.\n\nBut the deal is going nowhere until the White House addresses a number of concerns lawmakers have raised about the trade agreement, which Canada, Mexico, Japan and eight other countries joined the United States in signing last February.\n\nFirst and foremost: satisfying the concerns of Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and other lawmakers about protections for a new class of drugs known as biologics. They say the pact provides too short a monopoly period for rights to research and development data. Other lawmakers have complained the deal would bar tobacco companies from seeking redress through investor-state dispute arbitrage for damages resulting from country regulations. Still others are seeking assurances that member countries will abide by their commitments to provide access for U.S. pork and dairy exports.\n\nUntil these issues are resolved, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have made clear that the pact will not get the votes it needs to pass.\n\nRyan's spokeswoman, AshLee Strong, reiterated the point on Friday.\n\n\u201cAs Speaker Ryan has stated for months, there are problems that remain with the administration\u2019s TPP deal, and there can be no movement before these concerns are addressed,\" she said.\n\nDemocrats, meanwhile, have largely called the deal a nonstarter over concerns about the enforceability of labor and environmental standards in countries like Vietnam and the lack of strong protections against currency manipulation.\n\nThe administration claims it is making progress on these issues and has resolved others, including banking industry concerns over the exclusion of financial data from rules prohibiting countries from requiring local storage.\n\nBut that doesn\u2019t change the reality of the down-ballot drag that candidates are facing as they campaign back home in their districts. In a reversal from years past, many Republicans are on the defensive about their support for free trade because of Donald Trump\u2019s daily tirades about what he characterizes as the serious economic damage wrought by trade agreements like the North American Free Trade Agreement and the TPP as well as his complaints that China is flouting international trade rules.\n\nThe Republican platform picked up on this theme, saying significant trade deals \"should not be rushed or undertaken in a Lame Duck Congress.\"\n\nThe small band of Democrats who the administration hopes will support the TPP are facing increased pressure within their own party to abandon the president on the agreement. Sens. Bernie Sanders\u2019 and Elizabeth Warren\u2019s strong condemnations of the trade deal have forced Hillary Clinton, who supported the TPP as Obama\u2019s secretary of state, to reject the pact to appease the liberal wing.\n\n\"I will stop any trade deal that kills jobs or holds down wages, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership,\" Clinton said during an economic policy speech at an automotive manufacturing plant in Warren, Mich., on Thursday. \"I oppose it now, I'll oppose it after the election and I'll oppose it as president.\"\n\nClinton\u2019s clear rejection of the trade deal has emboldened liberal groups like the Warren-aligned Progressive Change Campaign Committee to launch a campaign to press Democrats to publicly oppose a TPP vote in the lame duck.\n\nSanders also called on Democratic congressional leaders to go on record against the White House\u2019s effort to get the deal done by the end of the year, saying the agreement is opposed by every trade union and the grassroots base of the Democratic Party.\n\n\"I am disappointed by the president's decision to continue pushing forward on the disastrous Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement that will cost American jobs, harm the environment, increase the cost of prescription drugs and threaten our ability to protect public health,\u201d the Vermont senator said in a statement after learning of the White House's action on Friday.\n\nMeanwhile, the administration continues to press the deal in key congressional districts \u2014 especially those of Democrats who supported the trade promotion authority bill last year.\n\nInterior Secretary Sally Jewell returned to her hometown of Seattle last month to tout the TPP\u2019s potential effects on the environment at a Washington Council on International Trade event with more than 150 business leaders.\n\nThen, last week, Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker hit the San Diego and Boulder districts of Reps. Susan Davis and Jared Polis \u2014 two of the 28 House Democrats that voted for the bill \u2014 and visited a steel plant in Cleveland to promote the TPP. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew did the same when he met with local and state officials and Fortune 500 business executives in Minneapolis.\n\nOn Thursday, Undersecretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere Kathryn Sullivan spoke at a Seattle clean energy business roundtable focused on the TPP and the environment. And this Monday, Deputy U.S. Trade Representative Robert Holleyman will participate in a World Affairs Council of Atlanta discussion on the trade deal featuring former Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss and UPS CEO David Abney.\n\nAs the political fight plays out, the nuts-and-bolts process of moving the deal forward will continue. Once Congress reviews the draft notification that the White House submitted on Friday, the administration can move forward with sending lawmakers a final statement and the draft of the implementing bill itself. The legislation will describe the actual changes to U.S. law to comply with the rules of the trade agreement.\n\nAfter that, the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means committees could hold \u201cmock markups\u201d of the bill (because under trade promotion authority, Congress is not actually allowed to tinker with the agreement or its implementing legislation itself, but it can ask the administration to do so).\n\nBut given the tenor of the elections, the entire process could be pushed into a crowded lame-duck legislation session, which would mean no time for the mock markups. Instead, there could be a lot of deal-making between the White House and congressional leadership to move the bill before Clinton or Trump takes over on Jan. 20.\n\nObama said last week that he\u2019s ready to press his case. \"Right now, I'm president, and I'm for it. And I think I've got the better argument,\" he said.\n\nSource:\nwww.politico.com/story/2016/08/obama-congress-trade-warning-226952",

\n
\u201cDo NOT panic! There is no reason to believe that this is anything more than just a power outage.\u201d
\n
\u201cBut-- BUT-- how can it be the whole state?\u201d One wide-eyed young woman, one of the aforementioned punk rockers actually raised her hand.
\n
\u201cYeah, it\u2019s gotta be Al Qaeda, who the hell else could it be?!!\u201d Another idiot bellowed.
\n
Others followed, there words quickly jumbling together into a tidal wave of paranoia. It only took one idiot to get the ball rolling.
\n
\u201cIt\u2019s gotta be the terrorists, who the hell else could it be?\u201d
\n
\u201cOh my god, I gotta get to my kids\u2026 My kids are still at the day care!!!\u201d
\n
\u201cDid an airplane hit a power plant??!! OH GOD!! DID AN AIRPLANE HIT ONE OF THE NUCLEAR PLANTS??!!\u201d
\n
She heard it all and it was nothing more than a buzzing, though an irritating one nonetheless. Her instincts, those things cops called their gut instincts told her Mister Blue-eyes was the key, the only thing really important right now. Mister Blue-eyes and whatever the hell it was he was watching outside their little tin prison.
\n
\u201cNOW LISTEN DAMMIT!!!\u201d She hollered, trying to make herself louder than the loudest of them, a difficult task with New Yorkers. \u201cI told you, there\u2019s no goddamn reason to think it\u2019s terrorism! This has happened before in our lifetimes and it\u2019s gonna happen again. As far as I\u2019m concerned it ain\u2019t nothing more than a power outage. Going FUCKING crazy ain\u2019t gonna help us any, dammit!!\u201d
\n
They kept going, some of them, but most paid her mind and listened, their faces drawn and tired. They\u2019d suffered enough the last few years, New Yorkers. There wasn\u2019t a one of them, including herself, who hadn\u2019t had their world turned literally upside down two years before. The terror they\u2019d lived was fresh on their minds, fresh and ready to burst again and overwhelm them. It was a hard thing, it truly, truly was.
\n
\u201cNow I just got off the phone with my partner and he says he\u2019s gonna get people down here to get us out as soon as possible. There are trains stalled all over the city. Rescue workers are leading those people out from underground and up to their homes. He told me there would be a group of them here soon. He was gonna get them here.\u201d
\n
\u201cIs that them?\u201d Came the deep voice of Jeffrey Thornton. He\u2019d been quiet while the others yelled, silent and listening to what she had to say. The moment she\u2019d spoken of rescue his eyes had gone outside the train and he saw what Mister Blue-eyes had apparently been watching.
\n
\u201cWhere?\u201d She asked him, stumbling over and peering outside, right next to the stranger in the baseball cap.
\n
She saw nothing at first, her eyes trying to focus past the reflections in the glass and out into the pitch black.
\n
\u201cThose--,\u201d Mister Blue-eyes said, at last speaking, his voice accented in a manner she\u2019d never heard before. Something about it was as wrong and as otherworldly as his eyes were. \u201c---are not rescuers of any sort.\u201d
\n
Out of the corner of her eye she saw him rise and back away from the window and once again her instincts spoke to her. They told her to back away as well, and to not stop there. They said to her, no, they screamed at her to run, to run as far from here as possible.
\n
But she didn\u2019t, she had to see what they were, had to see for herself.
\n
When the figures finally did materialize from the darkness, they weren\u2019t human at all.
\n
End Part 29

It's like a curse was put on me.\nJudging by the reviews from former colleagues and friends, I was a \"nice and friendly person who was always willing to help.\"\n\n# However, constantly all these friends ceased to be friends with me, for no reason. They just stopped communicating, no quarrels, no disagreements and other things!\n\nI had a lot of friends ... But our paths diverged.\n\nIn my childhood I had friends, but my family moved to another city, and I lost my friends. In the new city, I made new friends. I had one close friend. Even his move to another part of the city has not prevented us from seeing each other every weekend. And one day, he was taken into the army. And one day, his aunt came to me, and said that he is no more, he was killed when he was on sentry duty ...\n\n\n\nPeople ignore me constantly on the Internet, too. On any website, forum. I try to communicate, start a dialogue, and all people just ignore me. Suffice it to ask someone about something, write, and so on, and no response. \n\n# It's as if I did not exist.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/3o72FhMTVaOTycqObu.gif\n\nI am always open and friendly, and in return I receive arrogance against me or they completely ignore me.\nThis is what hurts the self-assessment.\n\n# I have no one to talk, no one to share the news with. Not one to ask for help. When I die, nobody will notice. \n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/l46CABOxa2Itf99bG.gif\n\n# I change people!\n\nI've got one property ... when a person begins to communicate with me, he is beginning to change. He begins to listen to the music that I like. He begins to lead a similar lifestyle. In general, people change for the better. From this, I feel somehow enhanced. And apparently, it has become another man moves away from me and goes his own way. As the chicks leave the nest as adults. Other explanation I can find.\n\n# Childhood\n\nAt school I was a \"whipping boy\".\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/Hem0mSEEPwQBa.gif\n\nEndured constant insults, humiliation. Every day for 3 years. The school was torture for me. I did not like school, sometimes skipped lessons to avoid it all. Of course, it has affected my level of education, I studied badly.\n\nAnd also, my eyesight began to deteriorate, I did not see what was written on the blackboard. And when I admitted that I had bad eyesight, meant even more exposure to ridicule. In addition, due to health problems, but rather due to an error from talentless doctors, I had to take some strange drug. What it was I do not know, but I remember that I had to take these pills with milk. At first, nothing happened ... but then I wanted to eat every 5 minutes, I could not stop! I suffered from hunger! And accordingly, I gained weight. Needless to say, that became more humiliation for me.\n\nPerhaps it is karma. After all, before all this, I, too, along with all, mocked other classmates. Well now I know, I deserve it all.\n\nIt all ended when I graduated from high school. I changed just for the summer. Completely changed! I was starving and had grown very thin. Enrolling in college, I stopped being afraid of the people because they did not know who I was at school. Former classmates simply did not recognize me in the street. I became a different person. I started a new life with a clean slate.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/763KvbtkqH3e8.gif\n\n# I'm for searching myself.\n\n### Punk.\n\nOne day on one local forum, I found an ad that a punk rock band was looking for a drummer. I do not know why, or what came over me, or how my subconscious played a role, but I wrote to them that I am ready to join them.\n\nIn those years, I liked punk rock. But I did not know how to play the drums! However, I had an ear for music and rhythm. Since childhood, I remember I loved playing improvised drums.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/3oEjI2cJuP3Y0dcfV6.gif\n\nAt the first rehearsal something happened. But, of course, I played really disgusting. I liked that I was with other people. I liked all the socializing after the rehearsals, but the rehearsals themselves I sometimes disliked.\n\nI was getting the feeling that my lack of skill playing the drums was getting the band down. The band broke up after 2 years, played three songs in one of the amateur concerts. I still blame myself for failing them. But communicating with them gave me pleasure.\n\n### Church of Satan.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/xThuWk5MZglNP8IsJG.gif\n\nI've never been religious.\nOne day it so happened that I was carried by some away articles and the book \"Church Satan\" that I found on the Internet. So I soon became well versed in the sect (I still keep granted by them, the so-called \"certificate\" as a memory). And then, I began to take an active and more active role in this church.\n\nI was the first who made an unofficial website, for which I was honored with awards and praise. I was the first who wrote a skeptical analysis of the Bible. And my critiques were very popular! Actually, thanks to them that I became known.\n\nAnd then I began to get to know ones of the elders. With me, I remember, I spoke to some journalists, a student who wrote some work, theologians, members of the new sect, and anyone with an interest. Probably because I was often on the network. After all, I have never been a part from the college and at home, and did nothing.\n\nBut then, I and several other members became disillusioned, and I left the sect.\n\nAnd then there were various attempts to find myself, I was changing lifestyles and views on life.\n\nWhy did I write this? All of the above has given me some experience in dealing with people and the ability to understand who I am and why, to find my place in life.\n\nPagan Old Believers tried invite me to come, and then I almost became a skinhead.\n\n> \"What people call life - just a game, but this game is sometimes instructive, and all that it teaches - only lessons from which to borrow wisdom, therefore, ought to live.\" (C)\n\n# Loneliness gave me the alternative to communion, namely: I read a lot of books, of which learned many new things from psychology, philosophy, spirituality and languages.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/AbuQeC846WKOs.gif\n\nHave you noticed that being in society and when in the company of others, you do not crave training or self-development? I see this for myself when my brother visits me. I do not read books, I do not ponder any situation and theory, I just talk and spend time with my brother. Loneliness provides an incentive for development. With the help of loneliness, you really will begin to appreciate the friendship and fellowship.\n\n# This can be compared with food delicacies. If you eat delicacies every day, they will cease to be so desirable and unusual, and they will become commonplace.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/WmEvcZna75UfS.gif\n\n# Now.\n\nMy current way of life is very similar to Tantric Buddhism, although it is not defined by that as it has no name, and does not need to be defined as such.\n\n# Sometimes it's painful and unpleasant to look at people.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/JsL3hYFdvMMSs.gif\n\nI understand why they are themselves, why they have such a way of life, but I do not want to be like them and be with them in the same company. I do not like it.\n\nI never offend for a reason, I never attack, and I do no harm.\nEmpathy - what distinguishes us from animals.\n\nI value every life, no matter what that life is.\nI do not accept what most people love.\nI do everything consciously, extracting meaning and benefits from the experience.\nFor example, I have a meal. I do not eat garbage food, because it does not give to my body anything useful, since it does not contain nutrients. \n\n# I do not drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes or do drugs.\u00a0\n\n\nAnd that is why people around me laugh or look at me quizzically. They say that I'm lying, sick, abnormal, or \"mother does not allow\". They say, \"in life need one needs to try everything!\" \n\nBut none of them for some reason, do not try, for example, quantum physics, a healthy lifestyle, or Buddhism.\n\n**In life, need to not only try, but also try not to try!**\n\n# I do not live with the people, but I live among the people.\n\nIf only you knew how hard all of this is ... I have to hide it all, and to adapt to the \"generally accepted norms\", in order not to be mocked. \n\nI feel somehow alien among the people. I have to wear a mask to resemble the people and not be detected.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/QG0th9DNdRrGw.gif\n\n> \"No pyramids of authority.\nMaster has an older brother, nothing more. And he just does the hard work that the others do not overpower. If it is otherwise, then trouble is inevitable.\nAuthority - this is a mistake \"(c).\n\nIf you have read Orwell's novel \"1984\" or watched the same film, you know, all this is happening in my country.\nPeople poisoned by propaganda, people are trying to survive, they are afraid of the authorities and freedom.\nAll this is laid bare and exacerbated in human animal instincts. The principle of flocks. Not like us - the enemy is dangerous, you need to avoid, or to die.\n\nThe population cannot tolerate dissent, any manifestation of freedom, something different from their lifestyle and worldview. In connection with this, people with a different lifestyle, look, worldview and way, becomes an object of ridicule, an outcast, a threat, an enemy.\n\nIt's not comfortable for me to live here. But leave (until the border has not yet closed) there is no possibility. It is very expensive, and I make incredibly low wages, and wages continue to fall, while food and services continue to rise in price.\n\nHow I would like live in a free country! Be yourself, do not hide anything, not trying to make excuses for my views and lifestyles.\n\nMaybe relocation to another country could change something in me, but I notice, positive emotions in me less and less and I feel less joy and desire to live.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/eR2OWX51qesIo.gif\n\n-Secret Writer\n\nImages and gifs: All images are by Stellabelle, all gifs are from giphy.com.",

I think ultimately Western Union and the like may actually choose or adopt a name that includes something like \"Dollar\". Lol\nhttps://s19.postimg.org/4y9g66xo3/Bitcoinripplebanner1.png\n\nI have said to different friends over the last year or so on occasion, that I fear Western Union is about to die by Bitcoin's hand. I compare Netflix, Youtube, Google Play, Itunes,and so forth killing retail establishments like Blockbuster video. Technology and the convenience it brings, easily dominates any industry, ask Kodak. \n\n I have friends who still have to purchase money orders to pay their rent. The Apartment complex refuses personal checks and apparently doesn't want employee's accepting cash. You can join their site online for a $50 per month fee and connect your checking account. What a ripoff! \nWow if they only knew of bitcoin and the coming technology.\nhttps://s19.postimg.org/743r0p14j/725_Ly9jb2lud_GVs_ZWdy_YXBo_Lm_Nvb_S9zd_G9y_YWdl_L3_Vwb_G9h.jpg\n\n\nhttps://s19.postimg.org/fc5olot0z/e873eec95dbe6437e8b73f6dc4b474e6.jpg\nhttps://s19.postimg.org/d2hkaxk37/a9ee5c9045261e324670df9b5e3fbf0c.png\n Western Union was in discussions with Ripple Labs early last year, regarding a blockchain pilot project. By using a cheap payment network, proponents claim that companies will be able to cut down the cost of remittances.\n The following quote from Barry Gilbert , the Digital Currency Insights Founder and CEO says it best:\n\u201cIf you look at Western Union and Moneygram, they have a fantastic opportunity to take advantage of bitcoin as a financial rail and incorporate it into their business.\u201d\n\nAfter reading the following article just now, I will have to say that I think someone like Western Union may be the key player in bringing Bitcoin to the masses!

+ "body": "Time is precious. Many would argue time is the most valued thing of all, comparing it to having wealth, power or attention. Most things in life come and go, but time only goes in one direction and that's forward. Time to a person can feel long, boring, and empty but when you finally find the thing you have been looking for, time seems to change for the opposite. \nIt was time it cost to find the love of my life, but when I did, it felt like it had all been worth it. While the time after felt so much more valuable, it also taught me how unforgiving time can be, and how one small misstep kept me locked in time forever, in my own body.\n\n*Two seconds of my life determined the future of my existence.*\n\nIt was on a rainy day when i was driving my motorcycle on my way to my girlfriend when that one driver decided it was more important to catch Pikachu instead of looking at the road. I can still imagine my feeling when my peripheral vision noticed the car and the panic that ensued in seconds. Unfortunately there was nothing to be done at that point anymore, all I could do was turn my head, face the driver and see him drive into me while he raised his head from his smartphone. The last second I still remember is flying in the air and the world around me was spinning.\n\nAfter having experienced almost every dream and nightmare I could imagine existed, this one felt really weird. I remembered this room I was in, although it felt like I had been there ages ago. It had a familiar scent that I really liked... just as it felt like I was remembering where it was from, I heard someone else approaching from the doorway;\n\"Hey Billy...\"\nI recognized her voice instantly, just as I turned my head to greet her I felt someones hand pushing my face the other way.\n\nThis feeling felt new to me, not just someone pushing my head but me actually feeling it. All the dreams and nightmares, I hadn't felt anything in so long. The whole sensation was strange to me, I was wondering if I had started to lucid dream but then it happened. The feeling came back, stronger than ever. Cold and wet. There were so many different emotions going through me I didn't know how to handle it, I wanted to know what it was. \nThen I opened my eyes.\n\nIt felt like one of those days you have been oversleeping, your body isn't tired anymore, you couldn't sleep longer if your life depended on it. That feeling times a hundreds. \nI kept blinking, adjusting my vision but everything was really, really blurry. I couldn't tell where I was or what was happening, then I heard a voice say:\n\"Oh gosh, I wonder if this is a fake alarm again...\" as she stepped on over to the door and left.\nThe feeling slowly vanished but my eyes were still open, I lay notice to the only thing making a sound in the room, it was my breathing. I tried to turn my head but I couldn't. My mind started racing;\n\"Where am I?\",\n\"Who was that woman?\",\n\"Why can't I move?\"\nBefore I could come up with more the door opened again and I could see something coming closer.\n\"I brought some towels to get you all dried up again, here we go, let's start with your face... Oh my god, you are awake!\"\nI couldn't even turn my eyes to the side to see her but I blinked more frequently so she would notice.\n\"Ohh, this is excellent, let me get the doctor, I'll be back in two *steems*...\" she said as she stormed off again.\n\nI lay there, still a thousand of questions flowing through my mind. \"What was that she said at the end?\"\nThe door opens and a man comes in and stands by the foot of the bed, tells me that they have been waiting for a long time for this day to come. He did a few tests on how my eyes were moving and said he would call a physician to get me to 'work' on regaining my strength. He would also notify my relatives to come see me tomorrow and that I should be up and running in about a week. \"Welcome back\" he added at the end before he left the room.\n\nI started to realize I must've been in a coma for some time now. The accident came back to me and I started thinking of her, how much time might have passed, how she is and what she could be doing nowadays.\n\nBefore I could think much further another man came in and started injecting me with needles and said \"this will give you some power back, try and move your head and neck after a minute\". I guessed he was the physician that was supposed to help me get in shape again. \n\nI started moving my neck and hands, it all started working so quickly again. He helped me sit up on a wheel-chair and said he would take me out for a stroll, since I hadn't gotten fresh air in some time.\nIt was sunny outside, it felt like spring had just arrived and the park had started to become colorful, the air I breathed in felt really fresh. We stopped at a park chair and he sat down next to me and said: \"I'd be happy to answer any questions that might be on your head now, could you try and test if your voice is back after not having used it for ten years?\"\n\n\"Yes\" I replied, surprised I could use my voice, I muttered \"10 years? Its the year 2027?\"\n-\"oh yeah, thought you knew that already. I'm sorry, yes its been 10 years since you went into a coma. Let me tell you a lot has changed since then.\" he said with a smile showing.\n\"what's the biggest change in the last 10 years?\"\n-\"oh, not a lot of coma patients form the question that way, that's a good one! Hmm let's see...\" he said as he put his hand to his jaw in a thoughtful manner. \"Well, i'd say the new digital era of AI lifeforms and the decentralization of value and the internet of things, I would say.\"\n\nThis instantly reminded me of my hobby with cryptocurrencies I had, and so many questions about that came to my head and I wanted answers to all of them. I was surprised to automatically asking this one:\n\"Who is the president of the United States?\"\n-\"Who? Haha, the current president is actually an AI robot, people don't really qualify for those important positions anymore.\"\n\"Did block-chain technology change the world?\" I said in a hurry almost interrupting him.\nHe noticed how eager I was to get an answer to that, so he leaned closer in on me and said. \"Yes, they did. Big time, the whole revolution was based around them, why, were you into crypto-coins before your accident?\" he added.\n\"Yeah, I checked them out from time to time. Which one become the most popular one?\" I asked, not sure if I was driving the discussion too much into one category.\n-\"Oh I'd say one of the biggest ones was Steem and how it brought everyone into the awesome technology that was too early for its time, other than that, Ethereum has decentralized and established most of the business world and how API's and AI bots operate.\"\n\nOn our way back I asked him if it was possible for me to use a laptop when in the room, to catch up on the stuff I have missed out on. He laughed and added that that's a pretty normal request for someone who had been sleeping for a decade. I was now back on my bed and he brought me a laptop. It had been only an hour since I had been awake but I had to go check out my old Steemit account and if I could still remember the password.\n\nThe moment I hit enter, and it directed me to my own page, my heart stopped for a moment when I glanced at the \"estimated value: $4,588,853,314.88\" It took me several seconds to count all the digits and my eyes were wide open, I quickly looked behind me and noticed he noticed too, but pretended he wasn't looking at the screen.\n\nAs I was putting the laptop to the side, I was trying to think of an excuse to have him leave the room for a moment so i could have some time to take all of what just had happened in, but as soon as I turned my head to ask him I felt something really hard hit me on the side of my head. I returned to the darkness again.\n\n\n**Hey everyone, thanks for reading those who did, I want to try my hand at some sci-fi writing and have a lot of crazy ideas in my head that I want to put down to words and into a hopefully entertaining sci-fi series. I hope my english didn't wasn't that hard to read, its my third language. Criticism is welcomed and questions about the plot or what's going to happen would be fun to read!**\n\nAlso for anyone that wants to add pictures to this sci-fi from #descriptionsonthespot or has some good ideas for which ones to choose, feel free to say so in the comments!\n\nhttp://imgur.com/dBXOswi.jpg",

If you have an interesting world to wake up to, then there are probably more interesting ways to show how the world has changed than just having a character *describe* it. So, for example, the importance of AI bots could be hinted at by the character being nursed by an AI bot, and getting confused about what's happening. \n\nI'm looking forward to seeing where this goes in the future.",

What is Ethereum?
\n
Ethereum is an open source platform that allows users to build & distribute next generation decentralized apps (dapps).
\n
The Ethereum platform allows everyone to interact with all types of systems directly.
\n
\n
Gaming
\n
Financial
\n
Social Networking
\n
\n
This is all done directly peer to peer, and is focused on being the future platform for all dapps.
\n
How are dapps different on Ethereum?
\n
The first thing to mention is that on Ethereum all of your information stays private.
\n
With normal systems we work with now like Facebook or our banks we are required to use them as a middle man while paying a fee. On the Ethereum platform the middle man is removed as is the transaction. So everyone saves on every transaction.
\n
Also there are no firewalls or IT departments to deal with on Ethereum, because of smart contracts on the blockchain.
\n
What is a smart contract?
\n
Smart contracts are programs that follow a series of steps every time they receive a message or \"transaction\". These smart contracts are what make Ethereum different from Bitcoin.
\n
Smart contracts can..
\n
\n
Store data
\n
Send/Receive transactions
\n
Interact with other contracts
\n
\n
And they can solve solutions for things like..
\n
\n
Medical Records
\n
Voting Machines
\n
Property Contracts
\n
And all other legal documents
\n
\n
With smart contracts users can stay in control of their funds and their personal information!
\n
\n
I hope this helps explain what Ethereum is to anyone out there who wanted to know more about it!

This 24h period it's ideal because this way the post has better chances of overcoming the first publish period and get more traction.

\n
The purpose of property rights is to mitigate conflict over scarce, rivalrous resources. To have a property right over a scarce, rivalrous resource is to have the right to exclude others from using that resource in the attainment of some ends. For example, I have property rights over my body, which means I can exclude others from using my body for sexual pleasure or labor without my consent. If they do access my body in such a way without my consent, it's called rape or slavery, respectively. Likewise, I have property rights over the accumulated capital for which I consensually trade my time and labor, which means I have the right to exclude people from using my accumulated capital without my consent. When someone accesses my accumulated capital in such a way without my consent, it's called theft or trespass. \nScale doesn't change this. If I transform my accumulated capital into a factory by hiring people who voluntarily exchange the product of their labor for some of my accumulated capital, this means that they value what they receive in exchange for working more than they value the direct product of their labor (the factory). Likewise, it means I value the factory more than the accumulated capital I gave up for it. This is a win-win situation, or a positive sum game. The workers I hired retain property rights over the capital they received as payment for their labor, which means they can exclude others from the use of their newly acquired accumulated capital, and I retain property rights over the factory, which means I can exclude others from the use of my factory. \nDiscrepancies between marginal benefit don't change this either. A consensual exchange doesn't become theft just because one party benefits more from the exchange than another. If this wasn't the case, every single instance of buyer's remorse would be indicative of theft. If someone agrees to produce a walking stick in exchange for ten dollars and the purchaser of the walking stick then sells it to someone else for twenty dollars, how can it be claimed that the producer of the walking stick was a victim of theft if they haven't been deprived of the ten dollars for which they voluntarily exchanged the walking stick? Would it have been reasonable to expect that the first purchaser of the walking stick wouldn't have obtained more than ten dollars of value from it given that the exchange wouldn't have happened in the first place if they hadn't valued the walking stick more than they valued ten dollars? \nOf course not. Anything that happens to the walking stick after the original exchange is no business of the producer of the walking stick because said producer already exchanged his property rights to the walking stick for property rights to a different form of accumulated capital (ten dollars). \nLikewise, if I use more of my accumulated capital to hire workers to work in my factory, they will only accept my offer of employment if they value what I'm offering more than their own free time and more than whatever stake they may have otherwise had in the product they will be producing. In other words, if they accept employment, it will be with the understanding that they're giving up any stake in what they're producing in exchange for what I'm offering them. Maybe my factory assembles televisions. Maybe one worker can produce one television per hour. Would they be able to produce televisions this efficiently without my previous investment in production capital (which hasn't even been recouped and probably never will be completely given that maintenance, employment and higher order production good costs are a revolving door)? Would they be able to produce televisions AT ALL without this previous investment in production capital? Of course not, and they know this, which is why they're willing to give up both their leisure and whatever stake their labor may have otherwise entitled them to in the production of a television in exchange for a fixed amount of accumulated capital. \nAs was the case with the walking stick, whatever happens to the television after this exchange occurs is no business of the worker. How could the future sale of the television constitute theft of the worker's accumulated capital if it can't be demonstrated that the worker was deprived of the accumulated capital that he voluntarily accepted as payment for the production of the television, especially given that the television was produced with other accumulated capital (plastic, circuits, labor saving devices, etc.) that the worker never even owned? \nIt can't. \nProperty ownership necessarily implies exclusivity, which means that \"private property\" is redundant, as is \"personal property\". The words \"private\" and \"personal\" denote exclusivity, which is already implied by the word \"property\". To differentiate between \"personal property\" and \"private property\" is therefore a distinction without a difference. This implication of exclusivity also means that \"public property\" is a contradiction in terms. If no one can be excluded from using the resource, it isn't property. Resources that aren't scarce or rivalrous likewise can not be considered property, which means that \"intellectual property\" is also a contradiction in terms. \nThis means that seizing the means of production is a genuine form of theft and that \"pirating\" music, software, art and writing is not, which may seem counter-intuitive if you attended the indoctrination camps euphemistically known as \"public schools\" when you were growing up.

We're not reversing that,\" Obama said, describing the necessity of international supply chains and the importance of the export sector to U.S. jobs and the economy. \"The notion that we're going to pull that up root and branch is unrealistic.\"\n\nThe notification, a new requirement of the trade promotion authority legislation Congress passed last year to expedite passage of the Asia-Pacific pact, is \u201cmeant to ensure early consultations between the administration and Congress,\u201d Matt McAlvanah, a spokesman for the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, said in a statement. \u201cAs such, the draft SAA [Statement of Administrative Action] was sent today in order to continue to promote transparency and collaboration in the TPP process.\u201d\n\nThe White House's draft document describes the major steps the administration will take to implement any changes to U.S. law required by the deal. Those actions range from the mundane \u2014 designating an administration point of contact for communications about the pact \u2014 to the complex \u2014 setting up procedures to stop harmful surges of agricultural or textile imports.\n\nBut the deal is going nowhere until the White House addresses a number of concerns lawmakers have raised about the trade agreement, which Canada, Mexico, Japan and eight other countries joined the United States in signing last February.\n\nFirst and foremost: satisfying the concerns of Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and other lawmakers about protections for a new class of drugs known as biologics. They say the pact provides too short a monopoly period for rights to research and development data. Other lawmakers have complained the deal would bar tobacco companies from seeking redress through investor-state dispute arbitrage for damages resulting from country regulations. Still others are seeking assurances that member countries will abide by their commitments to provide access for U.S. pork and dairy exports.\n\nUntil these issues are resolved, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have made clear that the pact will not get the votes it needs to pass.\n\nRyan's spokeswoman, AshLee Strong, reiterated the point on Friday.\n\n\u201cAs Speaker Ryan has stated for months, there are problems that remain with the administration\u2019s TPP deal, and there can be no movement before these concerns are addressed,\" she said.\n\nDemocrats, meanwhile, have largely called the deal a nonstarter over concerns about the enforceability of labor and environmental standards in countries like Vietnam and the lack of strong protections against currency manipulation.\n\nThe administration claims it is making progress on these issues and has resolved others, including banking industry concerns over the exclusion of financial data from rules prohibiting countries from requiring local storage.\n\nBut that doesn\u2019t change the reality of the down-ballot drag that candidates are facing as they campaign back home in their districts. In a reversal from years past, many Republicans are on the defensive about their support for free trade because of Donald Trump\u2019s daily tirades about what he characterizes as the serious economic damage wrought by trade agreements like the North American Free Trade Agreement and the TPP as well as his complaints that China is flouting international trade rules.\n\nThe Republican platform picked up on this theme, saying significant trade deals \"should not be rushed or undertaken in a Lame Duck Congress.\"\n\nThe small band of Democrats who the administration hopes will support the TPP are facing increased pressure within their own party to abandon the president on the agreement. Sens. Bernie Sanders\u2019 and Elizabeth Warren\u2019s strong condemnations of the trade deal have forced Hillary Clinton, who supported the TPP as Obama\u2019s secretary of state, to reject the pact to appease the liberal wing.\n\n\"I will stop any trade deal that kills jobs or holds down wages, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership,\" Clinton said during an economic policy speech at an automotive manufacturing plant in Warren, Mich., on Thursday. \"I oppose it now, I'll oppose it after the election and I'll oppose it as president.\"\n\nClinton\u2019s clear rejection of the trade deal has emboldened liberal groups like the Warren-aligned Progressive Change Campaign Committee to launch a campaign to press Democrats to publicly oppose a TPP vote in the lame duck.\n\nSanders also called on Democratic congressional leaders to go on record against the White House\u2019s effort to get the deal done by the end of the year, saying the agreement is opposed by every trade union and the grassroots base of the Democratic Party.\n\n\"I am disappointed by the president's decision to continue pushing forward on the disastrous Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement that will cost American jobs, harm the environment, increase the cost of prescription drugs and threaten our ability to protect public health,\u201d the Vermont senator said in a statement after learning of the White House's action on Friday.\n\nMeanwhile, the administration continues to press the deal in key congressional districts \u2014 especially those of Democrats who supported the trade promotion authority bill last year.\n\nInterior Secretary Sally Jewell returned to her hometown of Seattle last month to tout the TPP\u2019s potential effects on the environment at a Washington Council on International Trade event with more than 150 business leaders.\n\nThen, last week, Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker hit the San Diego and Boulder districts of Reps. Susan Davis and Jared Polis \u2014 two of the 28 House Democrats that voted for the bill \u2014 and visited a steel plant in Cleveland to promote the TPP. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew did the same when he met with local and state officials and Fortune 500 business executives in Minneapolis.\n\nOn Thursday, Undersecretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere Kathryn Sullivan spoke at a Seattle clean energy business roundtable focused on the TPP and the environment. And this Monday, Deputy U.S. Trade Representative Robert Holleyman will participate in a World Affairs Council of Atlanta discussion on the trade deal featuring former Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss and UPS CEO David Abney.\n\nAs the political fight plays out, the nuts-and-bolts process of moving the deal forward will continue. Once Congress reviews the draft notification that the White House submitted on Friday, the administration can move forward with sending lawmakers a final statement and the draft of the implementing bill itself. The legislation will describe the actual changes to U.S. law to comply with the rules of the trade agreement.\n\nAfter that, the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means committees could hold \u201cmock markups\u201d of the bill (because under trade promotion authority, Congress is not actually allowed to tinker with the agreement or its implementing legislation itself, but it can ask the administration to do so).\n\nBut given the tenor of the elections, the entire process could be pushed into a crowded lame-duck legislation session, which would mean no time for the mock markups. Instead, there could be a lot of deal-making between the White House and congressional leadership to move the bill before Clinton or Trump takes over on Jan. 20.\n\nObama said last week that he\u2019s ready to press his case. \"Right now, I'm president, and I'm for it. And I think I've got the better argument,\" he said.\n\nSource:\nwww.politico.com/story/2016/08/obama-congress-trade-warning-226952",

In which the folks in the subway find themselves some unwelcome visitors...

\n
\u201cDo NOT panic! There is no reason to believe that this is anything more than just a power outage.\u201d
\n
\u201cBut-- BUT-- how can it be the whole state?\u201d One wide-eyed young woman, one of the aforementioned punk rockers actually raised her hand.
\n
\u201cYeah, it\u2019s gotta be Al Qaeda, who the hell else could it be?!!\u201d Another idiot bellowed.
\n
Others followed, there words quickly jumbling together into a tidal wave of paranoia. It only took one idiot to get the ball rolling.
\n
\u201cIt\u2019s gotta be the terrorists, who the hell else could it be?\u201d
\n
\u201cOh my god, I gotta get to my kids\u2026 My kids are still at the day care!!!\u201d
\n
\u201cDid an airplane hit a power plant??!! OH GOD!! DID AN AIRPLANE HIT ONE OF THE NUCLEAR PLANTS??!!\u201d
\n
She heard it all and it was nothing more than a buzzing, though an irritating one nonetheless. Her instincts, those things cops called their gut instincts told her Mister Blue-eyes was the key, the only thing really important right now. Mister Blue-eyes and whatever the hell it was he was watching outside their little tin prison.
\n
\u201cNOW LISTEN DAMMIT!!!\u201d She hollered, trying to make herself louder than the loudest of them, a difficult task with New Yorkers. \u201cI told you, there\u2019s no goddamn reason to think it\u2019s terrorism! This has happened before in our lifetimes and it\u2019s gonna happen again. As far as I\u2019m concerned it ain\u2019t nothing more than a power outage. Going FUCKING crazy ain\u2019t gonna help us any, dammit!!\u201d
\n
They kept going, some of them, but most paid her mind and listened, their faces drawn and tired. They\u2019d suffered enough the last few years, New Yorkers. There wasn\u2019t a one of them, including herself, who hadn\u2019t had their world turned literally upside down two years before. The terror they\u2019d lived was fresh on their minds, fresh and ready to burst again and overwhelm them. It was a hard thing, it truly, truly was.
\n
\u201cNow I just got off the phone with my partner and he says he\u2019s gonna get people down here to get us out as soon as possible. There are trains stalled all over the city. Rescue workers are leading those people out from underground and up to their homes. He told me there would be a group of them here soon. He was gonna get them here.\u201d
\n
\u201cIs that them?\u201d Came the deep voice of Jeffrey Thornton. He\u2019d been quiet while the others yelled, silent and listening to what she had to say. The moment she\u2019d spoken of rescue his eyes had gone outside the train and he saw what Mister Blue-eyes had apparently been watching.
\n
\u201cWhere?\u201d She asked him, stumbling over and peering outside, right next to the stranger in the baseball cap.
\n
She saw nothing at first, her eyes trying to focus past the reflections in the glass and out into the pitch black.
\n
\u201cThose--,\u201d Mister Blue-eyes said, at last speaking, his voice accented in a manner she\u2019d never heard before. Something about it was as wrong and as otherworldly as his eyes were. \u201c---are not rescuers of any sort.\u201d
\n
Out of the corner of her eye she saw him rise and back away from the window and once again her instincts spoke to her. They told her to back away as well, and to not stop there. They said to her, no, they screamed at her to run, to run as far from here as possible.
\n
But she didn\u2019t, she had to see what they were, had to see for herself.
\n
When the figures finally did materialize from the darkness, they weren\u2019t human at all.
\n
End Part 29

It's like a curse was put on me.\nJudging by the reviews from former colleagues and friends, I was a \"nice and friendly person who was always willing to help.\"\n\n# However, constantly all these friends ceased to be friends with me, for no reason. They just stopped communicating, no quarrels, no disagreements and other things!\n\nI had a lot of friends ... But our paths diverged.\n\nIn my childhood I had friends, but my family moved to another city, and I lost my friends. In the new city, I made new friends. I had one close friend. Even his move to another part of the city has not prevented us from seeing each other every weekend. And one day, he was taken into the army. And one day, his aunt came to me, and said that he is no more, he was killed when he was on sentry duty ...\n\n\n\nPeople ignore me constantly on the Internet, too. On any website, forum. I try to communicate, start a dialogue, and all people just ignore me. Suffice it to ask someone about something, write, and so on, and no response. \n\n# It's as if I did not exist.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/3o72FhMTVaOTycqObu.gif\n\nI am always open and friendly, and in return I receive arrogance against me or they completely ignore me.\nThis is what hurts the self-assessment.\n\n# I have no one to talk, no one to share the news with. Not one to ask for help. When I die, nobody will notice. \n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/l46CABOxa2Itf99bG.gif\n\n# I change people!\n\nI've got one property ... when a person begins to communicate with me, he is beginning to change. He begins to listen to the music that I like. He begins to lead a similar lifestyle. In general, people change for the better. From this, I feel somehow enhanced. And apparently, it has become another man moves away from me and goes his own way. As the chicks leave the nest as adults. Other explanation I can find.\n\n# Childhood\n\nAt school I was a \"whipping boy\".\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/Hem0mSEEPwQBa.gif\n\nEndured constant insults, humiliation. Every day for 3 years. The school was torture for me. I did not like school, sometimes skipped lessons to avoid it all. Of course, it has affected my level of education, I studied badly.\n\nAnd also, my eyesight began to deteriorate, I did not see what was written on the blackboard. And when I admitted that I had bad eyesight, meant even more exposure to ridicule. In addition, due to health problems, but rather due to an error from talentless doctors, I had to take some strange drug. What it was I do not know, but I remember that I had to take these pills with milk. At first, nothing happened ... but then I wanted to eat every 5 minutes, I could not stop! I suffered from hunger! And accordingly, I gained weight. Needless to say, that became more humiliation for me.\n\nPerhaps it is karma. After all, before all this, I, too, along with all, mocked other classmates. Well now I know, I deserve it all.\n\nIt all ended when I graduated from high school. I changed just for the summer. Completely changed! I was starving and had grown very thin. Enrolling in college, I stopped being afraid of the people because they did not know who I was at school. Former classmates simply did not recognize me in the street. I became a different person. I started a new life with a clean slate.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/763KvbtkqH3e8.gif\n\n# I'm for searching myself.\n\n### Punk.\n\nOne day on one local forum, I found an ad that a punk rock band was looking for a drummer. I do not know why, or what came over me, or how my subconscious played a role, but I wrote to them that I am ready to join them.\n\nIn those years, I liked punk rock. But I did not know how to play the drums! However, I had an ear for music and rhythm. Since childhood, I remember I loved playing improvised drums.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/3oEjI2cJuP3Y0dcfV6.gif\n\nAt the first rehearsal something happened. But, of course, I played really disgusting. I liked that I was with other people. I liked all the socializing after the rehearsals, but the rehearsals themselves I sometimes disliked.\n\nI was getting the feeling that my lack of skill playing the drums was getting the band down. The band broke up after 2 years, played three songs in one of the amateur concerts. I still blame myself for failing them. But communicating with them gave me pleasure.\n\n### Church of Satan.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/xThuWk5MZglNP8IsJG.gif\n\nI've never been religious.\nOne day it so happened that I was carried by some away articles and the book \"Church Satan\" that I found on the Internet. So I soon became well versed in the sect (I still keep granted by them, the so-called \"certificate\" as a memory). And then, I began to take an active and more active role in this church.\n\nI was the first who made an unofficial website, for which I was honored with awards and praise. I was the first who wrote a skeptical analysis of the Bible. And my critiques were very popular! Actually, thanks to them that I became known.\n\nAnd then I began to get to know ones of the elders. With me, I remember, I spoke to some journalists, a student who wrote some work, theologians, members of the new sect, and anyone with an interest. Probably because I was often on the network. After all, I have never been a part from the college and at home, and did nothing.\n\nBut then, I and several other members became disillusioned, and I left the sect.\n\nAnd then there were various attempts to find myself, I was changing lifestyles and views on life.\n\nWhy did I write this? All of the above has given me some experience in dealing with people and the ability to understand who I am and why, to find my place in life.\n\nPagan Old Believers tried invite me to come, and then I almost became a skinhead.\n\n> \"What people call life - just a game, but this game is sometimes instructive, and all that it teaches - only lessons from which to borrow wisdom, therefore, ought to live.\" (C)\n\n# Loneliness gave me the alternative to communion, namely: I read a lot of books, of which learned many new things from psychology, philosophy, spirituality and languages.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/AbuQeC846WKOs.gif\n\nHave you noticed that being in society and when in the company of others, you do not crave training or self-development? I see this for myself when my brother visits me. I do not read books, I do not ponder any situation and theory, I just talk and spend time with my brother. Loneliness provides an incentive for development. With the help of loneliness, you really will begin to appreciate the friendship and fellowship.\n\n# This can be compared with food delicacies. If you eat delicacies every day, they will cease to be so desirable and unusual, and they will become commonplace.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/WmEvcZna75UfS.gif\n\n# Now.\n\nMy current way of life is very similar to Tantric Buddhism, although it is not defined by that as it has no name, and does not need to be defined as such.\n\n# Sometimes it's painful and unpleasant to look at people.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/JsL3hYFdvMMSs.gif\n\nI understand why they are themselves, why they have such a way of life, but I do not want to be like them and be with them in the same company. I do not like it.\n\nI never offend for a reason, I never attack, and I do no harm.\nEmpathy - what distinguishes us from animals.\n\nI value every life, no matter what that life is.\nI do not accept what most people love.\nI do everything consciously, extracting meaning and benefits from the experience.\nFor example, I have a meal. I do not eat garbage food, because it does not give to my body anything useful, since it does not contain nutrients. \n\n# I do not drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes or do drugs.\u00a0\n\n\nAnd that is why people around me laugh or look at me quizzically. They say that I'm lying, sick, abnormal, or \"mother does not allow\". They say, \"in life need one needs to try everything!\" \n\nBut none of them for some reason, do not try, for example, quantum physics, a healthy lifestyle, or Buddhism.\n\n**In life, need to not only try, but also try not to try!**\n\n# I do not live with the people, but I live among the people.\n\nIf only you knew how hard all of this is ... I have to hide it all, and to adapt to the \"generally accepted norms\", in order not to be mocked. \n\nI feel somehow alien among the people. I have to wear a mask to resemble the people and not be detected.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/QG0th9DNdRrGw.gif\n\n> \"No pyramids of authority.\nMaster has an older brother, nothing more. And he just does the hard work that the others do not overpower. If it is otherwise, then trouble is inevitable.\nAuthority - this is a mistake \"(c).\n\nIf you have read Orwell's novel \"1984\" or watched the same film, you know, all this is happening in my country.\nPeople poisoned by propaganda, people are trying to survive, they are afraid of the authorities and freedom.\nAll this is laid bare and exacerbated in human animal instincts. The principle of flocks. Not like us - the enemy is dangerous, you need to avoid, or to die.\n\nThe population cannot tolerate dissent, any manifestation of freedom, something different from their lifestyle and worldview. In connection with this, people with a different lifestyle, look, worldview and way, becomes an object of ridicule, an outcast, a threat, an enemy.\n\nIt's not comfortable for me to live here. But leave (until the border has not yet closed) there is no possibility. It is very expensive, and I make incredibly low wages, and wages continue to fall, while food and services continue to rise in price.\n\nHow I would like live in a free country! Be yourself, do not hide anything, not trying to make excuses for my views and lifestyles.\n\nMaybe relocation to another country could change something in me, but I notice, positive emotions in me less and less and I feel less joy and desire to live.\n\nhttp://i.giphy.com/eR2OWX51qesIo.gif\n\n-Secret Writer\n\nImages and gifs: All images are by Stellabelle, all gifs are from giphy.com.",

I think ultimately Western Union and the like may actually choose or adopt a name that includes something like \"Dollar\". Lol\nhttps://s19.postimg.org/4y9g66xo3/Bitcoinripplebanner1.png\n\nI have said to different friends over the last year or so on occasion, that I fear Western Union is about to die by Bitcoin's hand. I compare Netflix, Youtube, Google Play, Itunes,and so forth killing retail establishments like Blockbuster video. Technology and the convenience it brings, easily dominates any industry, ask Kodak. \n\n I have friends who still have to purchase money orders to pay their rent. The Apartment complex refuses personal checks and apparently doesn't want employee's accepting cash. You can join their site online for a $50 per month fee and connect your checking account. What a ripoff! \nWow if they only knew of bitcoin and the coming technology.\nhttps://s19.postimg.org/743r0p14j/725_Ly9jb2lud_GVs_ZWdy_YXBo_Lm_Nvb_S9zd_G9y_YWdl_L3_Vwb_G9h.jpg\n\n\nhttps://s19.postimg.org/fc5olot0z/e873eec95dbe6437e8b73f6dc4b474e6.jpg\nhttps://s19.postimg.org/d2hkaxk37/a9ee5c9045261e324670df9b5e3fbf0c.png\n Western Union was in discussions with Ripple Labs early last year, regarding a blockchain pilot project. By using a cheap payment network, proponents claim that companies will be able to cut down the cost of remittances.\n The following quote from Barry Gilbert , the Digital Currency Insights Founder and CEO says it best:\n\u201cIf you look at Western Union and Moneygram, they have a fantastic opportunity to take advantage of bitcoin as a financial rail and incorporate it into their business.\u201d\n\nAfter reading the following article just now, I will have to say that I think someone like Western Union may be the key player in bringing Bitcoin to the masses!

+ "body": "Time is precious. Many would argue time is the most valued thing of all, comparing it to having wealth, power or attention. Most things in life come and go, but time only goes in one direction and that's forward. Time to a person can feel long, boring, and empty but when you finally find the thing you have been looking for, time seems to change for the opposite. \nIt was time it cost to find the love of my life, but when I did, it felt like it had all been worth it. While the time after felt so much more valuable, it also taught me how unforgiving time can be, and how one small misstep kept me locked in time forever, in my own body.\n\n*Two seconds of my life determined the future of my existence.*\n\nIt was on a rainy day when i was driving my motorcycle on my way to my girlfriend when that one driver decided it was more important to catch Pikachu instead of looking at the road. I can still imagine my feeling when my peripheral vision noticed the car and the panic that ensued in seconds. Unfortunately there was nothing to be done at that point anymore, all I could do was turn my head, face the driver and see him drive into me while he raised his head from his smartphone. The last second I still remember is flying in the air and the world around me was spinning.\n\nAfter having experienced almost every dream and nightmare I could imagine existed, this one felt really weird. I remembered this room I was in, although it felt like I had been there ages ago. It had a familiar scent that I really liked... just as it felt like I was remembering where it was from, I heard someone else approaching from the doorway;\n\"Hey Billy...\"\nI recognized her voice instantly, just as I turned my head to greet her I felt someones hand pushing my face the other way.\n\nThis feeling felt new to me, not just someone pushing my head but me actually feeling it. All the dreams and nightmares, I hadn't felt anything in so long. The whole sensation was strange to me, I was wondering if I had started to lucid dream but then it happened. The feeling came back, stronger than ever. Cold and wet. There were so many different emotions going through me I didn't know how to handle it, I wanted to know what it was. \nThen I opened my eyes.\n\nIt felt like one of those days you have been oversleeping, your body isn't tired anymore, you couldn't sleep longer if your life depended on it. That feeling times a hundreds. \nI kept blinking, adjusting my vision but everything was really, really blurry. I couldn't tell where I was or what was happening, then I heard a voice say:\n\"Oh gosh, I wonder if this is a fake alarm again...\" as she stepped on over to the door and left.\nThe feeling slowly vanished but my eyes were still open, I lay notice to the only thing making a sound in the room, it was my breathing. I tried to turn my head but I couldn't. My mind started racing;\n\"Where am I?\",\n\"Who was that woman?\",\n\"Why can't I move?\"\nBefore I could come up with more the door opened again and I could see something coming closer.\n\"I brought some towels to get you all dried up again, here we go, let's start with your face... Oh my god, you are awake!\"\nI couldn't even turn my eyes to the side to see her but I blinked more frequently so she would notice.\n\"Ohh, this is excellent, let me get the doctor, I'll be back in two *steems*...\" she said as she stormed off again.\n\nI lay there, still a thousand of questions flowing through my mind. \"What was that she said at the end?\"\nThe door opens and a man comes in and stands by the foot of the bed, tells me that they have been waiting for a long time for this day to come. He did a few tests on how my eyes were moving and said he would call a physician to get me to 'work' on regaining my strength. He would also notify my relatives to come see me tomorrow and that I should be up and running in about a week. \"Welcome back\" he added at the end before he left the room.\n\nI started to realize I must've been in a coma for some time now. The accident came back to me and I started thinking of her, how much time might have passed, how she is and what she could be doing nowadays.\n\nBefore I could think much further another man came in and started injecting me with needles and said \"this will give you some power back, try and move your head and neck after a minute\". I guessed he was the physician that was supposed to help me get in shape again. \n\nI started moving my neck and hands, it all started working so quickly again. He helped me sit up on a wheel-chair and said he would take me out for a stroll, since I hadn't gotten fresh air in some time.\nIt was sunny outside, it felt like spring had just arrived and the park had started to become colorful, the air I breathed in felt really fresh. We stopped at a park chair and he sat down next to me and said: \"I'd be happy to answer any questions that might be on your head now, could you try and test if your voice is back after not having used it for ten years?\"\n\n\"Yes\" I replied, surprised I could use my voice, I muttered \"10 years? Its the year 2027?\"\n-\"oh yeah, thought you knew that already. I'm sorry, yes its been 10 years since you went into a coma. Let me tell you a lot has changed since then.\" he said with a smile showing.\n\"what's the biggest change in the last 10 years?\"\n-\"oh, not a lot of coma patients form the question that way, that's a good one! Hmm let's see...\" he said as he put his hand to his jaw in a thoughtful manner. \"Well, i'd say the new digital era of AI lifeforms and the decentralization of value and the internet of things, I would say.\"\n\nThis instantly reminded me of my hobby with cryptocurrencies I had, and so many questions about that came to my head and I wanted answers to all of them. I was surprised to automatically asking this one:\n\"Who is the president of the United States?\"\n-\"Who? Haha, the current president is actually an AI robot, people don't really qualify for those important positions anymore.\"\n\"Did block-chain technology change the world?\" I said in a hurry almost interrupting him.\nHe noticed how eager I was to get an answer to that, so he leaned closer in on me and said. \"Yes, they did. Big time, the whole revolution was based around them, why, were you into crypto-coins before your accident?\" he added.\n\"Yeah, I checked them out from time to time. Which one become the most popular one?\" I asked, not sure if I was driving the discussion too much into one category.\n-\"Oh I'd say one of the biggest ones was Steem and how it brought everyone into the awesome technology that was too early for its time, other than that, Ethereum has decentralized and established most of the business world and how API's and AI bots operate.\"\n\nOn our way back I asked him if it was possible for me to use a laptop when in the room, to catch up on the stuff I have missed out on. He laughed and added that that's a pretty normal request for someone who had been sleeping for a decade. I was now back on my bed and he brought me a laptop. It had been only an hour since I had been awake but I had to go check out my old Steemit account and if I could still remember the password.\n\nThe moment I hit enter, and it directed me to my own page, my heart stopped for a moment when I glanced at the \"estimated value: $4,588,853,314.88\" It took me several seconds to count all the digits and my eyes were wide open, I quickly looked behind me and noticed he noticed too, but pretended he wasn't looking at the screen.\n\nAs I was putting the laptop to the side, I was trying to think of an excuse to have him leave the room for a moment so i could have some time to take all of what just had happened in, but as soon as I turned my head to ask him I felt something really hard hit me on the side of my head. I returned to the darkness again.\n\n\n**Hey everyone, thanks for reading those who did, I want to try my hand at some sci-fi writing and have a lot of crazy ideas in my head that I want to put down to words and into a hopefully entertaining sci-fi series. I hope my english didn't wasn't that hard to read, its my third language. Criticism is welcomed and questions about the plot or what's going to happen would be fun to read!**\n\nAlso for anyone that wants to add pictures to this sci-fi from #descriptionsonthespot or has some good ideas for which ones to choose, feel free to say so in the comments!\n\nhttp://imgur.com/dBXOswi.jpg",

If you have an interesting world to wake up to, then there are probably more interesting ways to show how the world has changed than just having a character *describe* it. So, for example, the importance of AI bots could be hinted at by the character being nursed by an AI bot, and getting confused about what's happening. \n\nI'm looking forward to seeing where this goes in the future.",

What is Ethereum?
\n
Ethereum is an open source platform that allows users to build & distribute next generation decentralized apps (dapps).
\n
The Ethereum platform allows everyone to interact with all types of systems directly.
\n
\n
Gaming
\n
Financial
\n
Social Networking
\n
\n
This is all done directly peer to peer, and is focused on being the future platform for all dapps.
\n
How are dapps different on Ethereum?
\n
The first thing to mention is that on Ethereum all of your information stays private.
\n
With normal systems we work with now like Facebook or our banks we are required to use them as a middle man while paying a fee. On the Ethereum platform the middle man is removed as is the transaction. So everyone saves on every transaction.
\n
Also there are no firewalls or IT departments to deal with on Ethereum, because of smart contracts on the blockchain.
\n
What is a smart contract?
\n
Smart contracts are programs that follow a series of steps every time they receive a message or \"transaction\". These smart contracts are what make Ethereum different from Bitcoin.
\n
Smart contracts can..
\n
\n
Store data
\n
Send/Receive transactions
\n
Interact with other contracts
\n
\n
And they can solve solutions for things like..
\n
\n
Medical Records
\n
Voting Machines
\n
Property Contracts
\n
And all other legal documents
\n
\n
With smart contracts users can stay in control of their funds and their personal information!
\n
\n
I hope this helps explain what Ethereum is to anyone out there who wanted to know more about it!

I will give you some graph and explanation. Solutions like ICONOMI are very popular in old economy people want be rich and wanted get more profit so they tried give money to people who know more about trading. Found management platforms preforms much better than average investors. Big guys just want invest not day trading. In crypto ICOMI will be 1st such project - such needed project.\n\nNow true facts and everything that I show you, is now publicly available on web. Graphs taken from coinmarketcap.com are showing us, what is going on cryptocurrency markets right now:\n \n \n \n\nYou see on won eyes that: Bitcoin is loosing over time market share to other alt coins. There is many multiple reasons for that. Without ICONOMI getting on cryptocurrency board for new investors will be VERY hard. \nThat is:\n \n- choose right one coin. \n- skip scams \n- buy valuable coins \n- crypto markets are getting bigger and bigger all time, there is about over 700coins tradable now\n\n\nICONOMI will be platform that for **every investor looking for big profits**. \nICONOMI will give us 2 founds:\n\n- **The ICONOMI.INDEX FUND** - a \"Passive\" - Coin Traded Fund (CTF).

Model of Skeleton hands,without scissors and glue.
Aimed at deeper integration with POS terminals and payments between counterparties. \nA preliminary Initial Coin Offering finished on 4 September, where BlockPay sold 5% of the 100-million stock of BLOCKPAY tokens released on the BitShares blockchain. Future owners will receive dividends from transaction fees paid to BlockPay. \nThe pre-ICO was done in 3 stages:
\n
\n
1st \u2014 exchange of OPENPOS for BLOCKPAY at the rate of 1.2 to 1 (fund of 600,000 tokens)
\n
2nd \u2014 sale of BLOCKPAY at the price of 0.000288 BTC (fund of 1.4 mln tokens)
\n
3rd \u2014 sale of BLOCKPAY at the price of 0.000360 BTC (fund of 3 mln tokens)
\n
\n
The distribution of tokens is as follows:
\n
\n
1.5% \u2014 marketing for pre-ICO
\n
5% \u2014 pre-ICO
\n
0.9% \u2014 early adopters
\n
1.8% \u2014 advisors and partners
\n
3.6% \u2014 marketing
\n
7.2% \u2014 developers reward
\n
80% \u2014 upcoming ICO in 2017
\n
\n
The platform development plan:
\n
\n
The release of BlockPay \"S\" app for Android and payment terminals Odoo
\n
BlockPay integration with leading payment terminals
\n
API Development
\n
The addition of a large number of fiat gateway exchanges and Escrow Services
\n
The addition of anonymous transactions function
\n
The development and release of the ECHO messenger for Android and iOS
\n
Development of the first version of the BlockPay \"S\" app for iOS
\n
\n
The project looks interesting, given the fact that they claim an integration with the ERP and CRM systemOdoo used by 60 thousand companies. The only disturbing thing is the absence of an open source software, and this spoils the whole picture. Transaction payments fee and, consequently, planned cash flow for investors are not sufficiently explained either. It should be kept in mind that this project is centralised, i.e. it belongs to the class of projects that demand trust in the founders and, correspondingly, require a thorough audit of operating activity. \nCrowdsale summary:
\n
\n
Dates: 20 August 2016 \u2014 4 September 2016
\n
Raised: ~ $657,000 (1096 BTC)
\n

The project is interesting primarily due to the fact that it will be implemented using the Hyperledger platform. There are no other features that distinguish it from a number of similar blockchain projects, except that it is aimed specifically at the Chinese audience.
The crowdsale is finished. The full description of the history of the ICO and the risks associated with investing in this asset may be found in the previous issue of Blockchain Boom.
\n
Crowdsale summary:
\n
\n
Dates: 29 February 2016 \u2014 19 August 2016
\n
Raised: ~ $416,000 (~ 710 BTC), the exact amount is not available, because in course of funding escrow addresses changed several times and the movement of funds between them was extremely nontransparent.
The aim of the project is the creation of management platform for crypto investment funds and the launch of two associated investment funds. \n
\n
The subject of the crowdsale is ICN tokens representing 100% of Iconomy Open Fund Management Platform (OFM). The total number of ICN tokens to be sold is 85 million. 100 million of ICN will be released on the Ethereum platform within 10 days after the end of the crowdsale. Tokens will be distributed among investors proportionally to their contributions taking into account bonuses for early participation (+ 15% in the first week, + 10% in the second week, + 5% in the third week). \nPrecise information on the distribution of ICN tokens is missing on the official website. According to the information in the related Bitcointalk thread, the tokens will be distributed as follows:
\n
\n
85% - to be sold in the crowdsale
\n
8% - founders reward
\n
3% - reserve for the future team
\n
2% - advisers reward
\n
2% - marketing and bounty
\n
\n
Money raised from the crowdsale will be used as follows:
\n
\n
62% - development
\n
25% - operations
\n
9% - legal expenses
\n
4% - marketing
\n
\n
ICN owners will receive weekly dividends in ETH from all sources of Iconomi income, such as:
\n
\n
management fees
\n
rewards for fund management efficiency
\n
fees received from the funds registered with OFM
\n
\n
ICN holders will be able to vote on a number of matters related to the development of OFM, including choosing of the \"platform operator\" (currently, Cashila OOD s.r.o.)
\n
The development plan:
\n
\n
4Q 2016 \u2013 the launch of the open investment fund ICONOMI.INDEX, which will follow the likely development of the cryptocurrency market and will be freely traded on the market;
\n
4Q 2016 \u2013 the launch of the closed investment fund ICONOMI.PERFORMANCE, which will focus on riskier investments in projects at an early stage of development
\n
2017 \u2013 the launch of the platform for management of investment funds (OFM), the transfer of ICONOMI.INDEX and ICONOMI.PERFORMANCE funds to the platform.
\n
\n
Blind spots:
\n
\n
The currency is not specified for evaluation of the raised funds for further distribution of ICN tokens among investors.
\n
Will a part of the funds received during the crowdsale be allocated to ICONOMI.INDEX and ICONOMI.PERFORMANCE and, if so, will ICN holders receive relevant shares in these funds?
\n
There is no information as to the amount and frequency of fees charged from funds managed on OFM.
\n
The functions of the \"platform operator\" is described but very vaguely, as well as the process of further decision making involving ICN holders.
\n
\n
Red flags:
\n
\n
There is no description of technical solutions for the project's tasks
\n
No program code is published
\n
\n
Crowdsale summary:
\n
\n
Dates: 25 August 2016 \u2014 29 October 2016
\n
Total number of tokens: 100 mln ICN
\n
Tokens distribution: 85% will be sold in the crowdsale, 15% team reward and marketing
\n
Minimum crowdsale goal: 2 000 BTC (~ $1.5 mln)
\n
Raised so far: ~ $3.6 million (2,200 BTC + 71,000 ETH + 1.2 mln LSK + 63,000 USD + 940,000 EUR) from more than 1300 participants.
The main focus of the project is providing the opportunity for trading in precious metals. \nThe network will be implemented as follows:
\n
\n
Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm
\n
Decentralised Exchange
\n
Cloud-based blockchain
\n
\n
Apart from a patently weak 8-page paper and a number of publications on the blog, no detailed information about the project was found via official channels. Program code is also not disclosed. Nevertheless, developers promise to launch the network on 31 October 2016. \nDuring the crowdsale, bonuses from 20% to 5% will be distributed, depending on the time of investment. \n
\n
Crowdsale summary:
\n
\n
Dates: 6 August 2016 \u2014 October 6, 2016
\n
Total number of tokens: 100 mln
\n
Tokens distribution: 80% will be sold to the crowdsale participants, 10% is a team reward and 10% are marketing expenses
Investments are made by transferring ETH to the Etherium contract. \n
\n
The Fund is formed for the period of 4 years, 3 of which are put for investing while the last year is for the exit. 80% of the money received as a result of fund liquidation will be distributed among Hongcoin holders, 20% among managers. Annual 2% fee to be charged for operational expenses of the managing organisation. The fee allocation will be defined by voting. The fund can be \"frozen\" at any time by the decision of 50% of shareholders.
\n
As a purpose for investment, 3 directions are selected: disruptive innovation, creativity and educational projects. Hong founders believe that the blockchain technology will most significantly impact these fields of human activity. \nThe fund operates according to the following scheme:
\n
\n
Fund managers review projects and make a decision on whitelisting them;
\n
Hongcoin holders vote for the allocation of funds for investments within 15 days (the quorum of 20% is required for the approval of an investment);
\n
Fund managers prepare due-diligence and investment strategy for the project and provide any possible assistance in the development and promotion of the project;
\n
When the fund's term comes to an end, the managers carry out the exit process.
\n
\n
A company will be established for the management of raised funds, but it has not been determined yet in which jurisdiction. There is no information on the management parties available on the website nor through any the official channels. \nThe crowdsale takes place in several stages, with 50 mln Hongcoin sold at each stage:
\n
\n
50 mln \u0126 \u2013 1.00 ETH \u0437\u0430 100 \u0126
\n
50 mln \u0126 \u2013 1.05 ETH \u0437\u0430 100 \u0126
\n
50 mln \u0126 \u2013 1.10 ETH \u0437\u0430 100 \u0126
\n
50 mln \u0126 \u2013 1.15 ETH \u0437\u0430 100 \u0126
\n
50 mln \u0126 \u2013 1.20 ETH \u0437\u0430 100 \u0126
\n
\n
As long as the crowdsale is going on, investors will have the opportunity to change their mind and withdraw invested funds. After the crowdsale is finished, the exit opportunity will be closed. \nCrowdsale summary:
\n
\n
Dates: 29 August 2016 \u2014 29 October 2016 (may be extended until 28 November)
\n
Total number of tokens: to be determined by the end of the crowdsale
\n
Tokens distribution: 100% will be sold in the crowdsale
\n
Crowdsale goal: at least 1,575,000 ETH (~ $19 mln), the maximum is 2.7 mln ETH (~ $33 mln)
One year after a crowdsale that raised $126,000 aimed at the development and launch of a decentralised social network, the project team announced the second funding round and the launch of the network'salpha version. Two funding campaigns start at the same time in September: the sale of Synereo Ltd shares on BnkToTheFuture and of AMP tokens. \nFollowing the first crowdfunding, the distribution of AMP was as follows:
\n
\n
2.72% (45.8 mln) \u2014 sold during the first crowdsale
\n
11.9% (200 mln) \u2014 user rewards
\n
8.92% (150 mln) \u2014 reserve for the content creators
\n
11.9% (200 mln) \u2014 founders' reward
\n
13.68% (230 mln) \u2014 bounty program
\n
50.61% (850.4 mln) \u2014 next funding
\n
\n
Synereo revised their plans and now aim to develop a protocol similar to the SAFE Network, which will include the following components:
\n
\n
Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm
\n
Distributed network of nodes connected on the principle of \"shards\", where blockchain is divided into many small segments
\n
Distributed repository
\n
Smart contracts
\n
Social layer (a social network motivated according to the Attention Economy Model)
\n
The possibility of building distributed apps
\n
\n
The grant program for dApps developers Project 11 with a budget of 1.11 million AMP is already in operation. \n
\n
The popular website CoinMarketCap misleadingly states current Synereo capitalisation at about $10-13 million, which is not true because it is only the cost of 62,580,000 AMP (3.72%) in circulation on the market. According to cyber \u2022 Fund's calculations, with the total of 1.68 billion tokens, Synereo's real capitalisation reaches $300 million.
\n
It has not been disclosed yet how many tokens will be put up for sale, but we can assume that the minimum amount claimed by Synereo is about $130-140 million in case the entire reserve is sold, which is 850.4 mln AMP. This is a very ambitious plan, taking into account current distribution and the market price of tokens. Besides, it should be kept in mind that after the launch of the network, additional 5% of AMP will be emitted every year. In my opinion, they should sell the whole reserve without fixed prices and with token distribution proportional to investments. It will provide normal distribution and a fair market capitalisation.
\n
Despite the presence of a strong team with an excellent technological vision, we consider the evaluation of $300 mln inadequate.
\n
Crowdsale summary:
\n
\n
Dates: September 2016
\n
Total number of tokens: 1.68 billion AMP
\n
Number of tokens for sale: unknown, probably 850.4 mln
The aim of the project is to adopt any customer personal computer for the work that is done today by servers, computing farms or supercomputers.
\n
As the result, Golem Net will become a truly decentralised network where users' summarised machine power will provide any amount of hardware resources required. At the moment, there is no document explaining how exactly it would work. We hope that such paper will appear before the crowdsale.
\n
The Golem App will connect to the network from a local device to share computing power and deliver tasks for calculations. \nThe micropayment system based on Ethereum will provide the incentivising component distributing rewards and processing transactions. Transaction fee will be set at 5%.
\n
Currently, the network can work only with public data because the apps require direct access to data. \nDevelopers announced the crowdsale on their blog.
\n
Golem Network Tokens (GNT) are the shares that give the right to receive part of the revenue generated by Golem Network.
\n
Crowdsale start date: September 2016.
\n
Token distribution:
\n
\n
Total number of tokens: unknown
\n
82% \u2014 crowdsale
\n
6% \u2014 founders reward
\n
12% \u2014 developer company reward
\n
Estimated amount of funds: a minimum of 100,000 ETH, a maximum of 650,000 ETH
The ultimate goal of the project is the creation a thriving industry of decentralised entertainment.
\n
What they promise:
\n
\u25cf SINGULAR \u2013 a TV series. \nThe S-DTV flagship product is an epic sci-fi adventure TV series about decentralisation, scaling and emergence of intelligent systems that lead the humanity to a technological singularity.
\n
\u25cf Documentary division \nThis division will create full-length and short-length documentary series and movies about the blockchain, decentralisation and Ethereum.
\n
\u25cf S-DTV rights management platform \nAn app that will use smart contracts for registration and management of digital rights, as well as of income and royalties on intellectual property, namely, movies and television. Deals in the film and TV industry are the most difficult to arrange as they often involve hundreds of individual participants.
\n
\u25cf On-demand video content portal (TVOD) \nTVOD changes the way people watch entertainment programmes. S-DTV is born to create the TVOD portal for original content distribution, as well as for selected and acquired content. In addition to developing an interface on IPFS, S-DTV will use third-party portals such as GooglePlay, AppleTV iTunes and Vimeo to build a larger audience in a short time.
\n
Minimum investment goal \u2013 $500,000.
\n
Desirable funding \u2013 $7,5 mln.
\n
According to S-DTV documentation, Swiss company MME has developed a new, innovative organisational structure specifically for S-DTV: the Centralised Organised Distributed Company (CODE). It is the Swiss company, therefore, that will manage the finances and reinvest the income, while tokens will be used for paying out the dividends.
\n
Token distribution:
\n
\n
400 mln Singular DTV GMBH
\n
100 mln core investors
\n
500 mln crowdsale
\n
\n
Funds distribution in case if $7,5 mln is raised:
\n
\n
\"Singular\" season 1 (3 episodes of the mini-series): $3.25 mln
\n
Documentary division: $0.50 mln
\n
Development of the rights management platform: $2 mln
\n
TVOD portal development: $1 mln
\n
Marketing: $0.50 mln
\n
Administrative, legal expenses and unforeseen circumstances: $0.25 mln
\n
\n
Crowdfunding is planned for September and will likely take place at Devcon2.
\n
The Ethereum and Consensys founder Joseph Lubin is included into the team as CTO.
\n
Unfortunately, in this project tokens only serve for distribution of dividends, and the project is centralised because 40% of tokens belong to Singular DTV GMBH. Another disadvantage is the fact that of the four declared founders/directors, only Zach Lebeau will work full time on the project. He is likely to be engaged in the studio rather than in the platform development; there are also risks associated with SEC.
\n
The main question is the development of the TVOD platform and the rights management platform: there is no understanding as to what kind of team will be working on it, and no technical description at the moment. If both platforms can be really implemented, the project is promising for investment.=
It is designed for creative people, writers, bloggers, journalists and their fans and followers. The platform enables users to publish any posts, images, video or music content with no restrictions.
\n
Consensus algorithm \u2013 Proof-of-Stake.
\n
Decent has three functional roles:
\n
\n
Authors: content producers, writers, music producers etc.
\n
Consumers: readers, listeners and viewers
\n
Publishers: miners
\n
\n
Token distribution \u2013 30% via mining and 70% is distributed during the crowdsale, some of them will go to pre-mine funds to be distributed in the following way:
On the crowdsale page, next to the conditions, we see a message that the project is supported by Google, though it does not correspond to the project's primary activity. Moreover, the current yellow paper ignores many issues such as, for example, how miners would store the content. Decent enters the content distribution market where such projects as Steemit, Synereo and LBRY already operate.
This platform will allow players to bet without intermediaries. The payoff distribution will be also managed via smart contracts.
\n
The eSports betting market holds more than $130 million per year with 30% annual growth rate.
\n
3 monetisation channels:
\n
\n
Matchmaking
\n
Revenue from the tournament organisation
\n
Advertising
\n
\n
Token will allow:
\n
\n
Match playing
\n
Match refereeing and voting for the referee
\n
Placing tournaments
\n
Requesting an award from referrals
\n
\n
Tokens distribution:
\n
\n
Crowdsale, 4 weeks, in the first hour 170 tokens for 1 ETH
\n
10% to the project founders; these funds will be blocked for 12 months
\n
5% will be placed in the platform development fund for the promotion and tournament awards
\n
2.5 mln - bounty fund, to be distributed during the crowdsale for advertising and debugging
\n
\n
Crowdsale start date: 26 September 2016.
\n
In my opinion, it is an interesting project. The only reservation is that the market is not very vast, albeit actively developing. Besides, the motivation for developers and other market players is not very well thought through. In this regard, central players, who can also use smart contracts and predictions market to confirm the events results, may have an advantage. However, this project may indeed become the market leader on the condition of good community building and active incentivising of referees and the jury.
The basic principle is to follow the industry's trend to monetise customer attention and create a convenient and fair trading platform for all parties involved, including Internet users. Mass allows users to receive instant rewards for web surfing through the built-in p2p infrastructure based on the blockchain. As a result, advertisers will pay users a fair price for their attention and data without intermediaries. \n
\n
An increasing number of customers are using ad-blocking software. Mass offers a browser extension and a mobile app that can block ads as well as protect personal data. Yet, their primary goal is not blocking but rather improving users' experience with advertising and rewarding them with cryptocurrency to establish a consumer-advertiser relationship and, therefore, reduce the number of ad-block users. Mass will also have a cryptocurrency wallet and blockchain-based payment system.
\n
Crowdsale dates: 6 September \u2014 1 December 2016
\n
Token distribution:
\n
\n
70% to the crowdsale participants
\n
30% to Mass team members
\n
\n
Mass plans to build its own full-blown infrastructure for advertising industry with an internal token. A similar solution has been already introduced to the market \u2013 the Brave browser. It blocks default ads and replaces it with incentivising ad materials. The bitcoins received from advertisers are distributed among users, the platform and the endorsing website. In my opinion, if Mass used smart contracts or a proprietary blockchain enabling further token emission to incentivise users and websites, they could compete with bitcoin. However, Mass token works on the bitcoin blockchain, which on the one hand makes it very secure, but on the other, has no advantage over bitcoin per se. In favour of bitcoin are accessibility, recognition, and a more stable price.
All data and calculations are quoted as of 6 September 2016 with bitcoin price at $609. For closed crowdsales evaluation in USD is given using the average token price at the date of closure.
In the morning, at 5 am when the moon completes his round, the alarm rings, my deepest sleep I wake up painfully. K\u00e9ops my cat starts singing tour and stops only when he filled his mess tin. Sweety then, the cat of my son jumps on the furniture in the kitchen and also claimed his bowl. Kashmir him not to come after me, until I make him hugs.
\n
\n
\n
\n
A small cup of coffee and I'm up for the day. After my shower, I have to feed the fish pond and two hens, they are waiting for me impatiently for me to release them from their cages.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
6:15, I start my bag on her arm, my water bottle and my biscuit for lunch. On the road I am alone, few vehicles I meet. Great to run your car on a deserted road. In the winter when it snowed, I am the first to make tracks in the whiteness of the snow grows like cotton wool, sometimes, crazy beyond me and skids, it is an adrenaline rush. In summer the sun rises gives the sky a color of red sweetness, yellow, orange. In autumn, the trees begin to change color, it is a season because I love the beauty of trees is unique.
\n
\n
\n
Here I come down the street or is my workplace, hospital, regional hospital, the CHR. Vehicles coming after one another because we start at 7am. The staff is found, speak, tells their evening then everyone goes to the same place: the time clock, control object of our hours worked.
\n
\n
\n
In the ladies locker room, it gets held: white jacket with blue and green patterns representing the logo of the institution, blue pants with various pockets which we do not serve!
\n
\n
\n
We arrive in our service, mine is the neurological rehabilitation service: we give up (or so) of people who have a stroke, an accident with neurological trauma, people who have multiple sclerosis or Guillain barred and other chronic diseases whose name is almost unknown.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
We start our day with a report on each patient last night, we have 20 in service. After beginning the nursing: we make the toilet of the patient who is totally dependent. We get up in the chair. For others, we must educate, continue the actions he has learned with the therapist in the individual care, the patient should regain maximum independence so they can go home and take care only . It's a job that can last from 3 months to 6 months beyond, we can not do anything for them.
\n
\n
\n
Headline in this service is: you come to bed but you leave again walking.
\n
\n
Sometimes, we fail either because the patient does not want a return to autonomy, or because the patient is too ill. We give the same chance to everyone, rich, poor, alcoholic, drug addict, young or old.
\n
\n
The management of a patient goes from shaving the beard of a man to the presentation on the toilet, the room arrangement the carefully tended beds.
\n
\n
Lunch arrived around 8:30 am, few patient is in the dining hall for breakfast, other unfinished eat in bed Logistical assistance serves meals that are different if the patient is diabetic, diet, dieters, old, or in solid supply resumption. You should know that when the patient has had a stroke, a stroke, swallowing is absent, which means that if the patient eats a sandwich, but he swallows the bread goes in the bronchial tubes and not in the stomach, giving a false swallowing, bronchi become infected and it's a disaster. So this patient who made false swallowing should eat while cream consistency and drink thickened liquid. Which is not very good but I admit it must go through these stages in order to re-eat a day normally.
\n
\n
Physiotherapists arrive at 9am and leave a 17h, occupational therapists also. There is also a neuropsychologist, a speech therapist and all do work that allows the patient to regain maximum independence, which means that the patient all day is busy. Visitors can come between 14:30 and 19:30.
\n
\n
After lunch, we continue our work, when all is well, we finish around 10:30 or 11am but sometimes it is noon we are still in the rooms.
\n
\n
In terms of handling, the entry of the patient, it is usually in bed or in a wheelchair with a right hemiplegia or left, some have forgotten that they had half a disabled body, so it must withstand and no wear and show him how to do with one leg to go from wheelchair to bed and vice versa. Others are completely invalid, they know not move neither arms nor legs, and for those, or we wear them either we lift them with a forklift.
\n
\n
During dinner, we feed the disabled and we encode our care in the computer.
\n
\n
Around 13h, we are a few naps after going on the toilet. Sometimes we have a problem in the pants, oops! When everyone is changed to bed, we have a service change ratio and the time, the hour of the end of our service is lagging. At 14h is the start of the morning shift. For my part, I take a good shower and I take the way home or waiting for my cats and my dog makes me a big party.
\n
\n
We must not believe that the nursing profession is simple, each service is different and you can not compare the care of each other.
\n
\n
I hope I have not bothered you with this long text, I wish you a good day to you all.
I haven't stopped and taken a picture of the beauty around me in a long time. It's funny how we can get so caught up in work and the business of a crazy life and miss the simply beauty along the way. Sometime you've just got to stop and smell the roses; and while you're there, take a picture!
\n
\n
These aren't roses, I know: they're wild flowers. They don't get the nurture and care that roses do, and yet they are provided for and they bloom into beautiful blossoms in their own time. They have a harder life than others, and that's how we humans are as well. Some of us were well taken care of growing up and were treated like roses, while others were left in the field to grow up alone and without the love and care we should have had. But we are all beautiful in our own ways and if we survive long enough, we will blossom into something spectacular.
\n
\n
Colorado mountain rivers
\n
When the snow on the tops of the mountains melt, it feed the rushing rivers that carve their way down the mountainside. The climbing is excellent, the whether and the views are truly gorgeous, but something about the rivers rushing through the mountains draws you in. There is a memorization about the brave rivers unafraid of the mountains and simply rushing on by recklessly.
\n
\n
Mississippi at sunset
\n
Sometimes the world just slows down and magic happens. This was one of those times. On the night before my sister's wedding in Tupelo, Mississippi the sky exploded in color. What a calm reassurance before a monumental event: the approval stamp of God upon the sanction of their marriage.

Hundreds of years old Indian hieroglyphs in Arizona
\n
This was an incredible hike in the Arizona mountain ranges to discover a place where the Apache Indians, or perhaps some other tribe had lived hundreds of years ago!
\n
\n
Uganda, Africa at twilight, from a moving bus
\n
Africa is always an adventure, but in 2015 we took a safari on the northern rim and caught this shot on the way back to the lodge. I love how the beauty of the world is unique in its diversity from place to place, even across the Atlantic.
\n
\n
This is one of my favorite shots. I don't remember where I took it or when, but the colors, the bliss, the peacefulness of this field of flowers was stunning. I'm glad I was able to capture an image of its beauty to remember it by. And to think, all of this beauty was made by God in a second! His power to create a world is amazing and perfect in every way. We get to see His marvelous creation every day!

Russian Roulette - A Memoir of my Two Years in Moscow - Part 2 - Under the Table Tactics
\n
In this part of my memoir I am going to attempt to describe the dark side of Moscow. All stories depicted here either happened directly to people I knew, or were described to me as a it's-russia-get-used-to-it anecdote. \nYes, I will be talking about corruption and paying people under the table for things but bear in mind that even though it seems like a common practice definitely not all people do that and not all people experience the phenomenon.
\n
A ROUTINE POLICE CHECK
\n
It is said that it is extremely wise to keep 2k-5k Rubles (about 28-68 Euro, 30-77 Dollars, 23-58 Pounds) in your registration papers at all times. They tend to disappear when you get your documents back from the officer... If one does not have such loose change, the guy tends to make one's life difficult. \"You were speeding\", \"You didn't stop at the STOP sign\", \"You're light is out\" etc. Driving is another interesting phenomenon in Moscow. You might think that since the metro is so packed, the streets will be empty. On the contrary, but I will not get into that right now as that makes a completely different post... However, what I will tell you is how one of my students passed her driving exam, which leads us to...
\n
PAYING TO PASS AN EXAM
\n
After her first failed attempt, my student looked at her instructor/examiner and asked: \"Could you please tell me what I did wrong, so I can work on it in the future?\" He stared back at her surprised and announced: \"Well, you didn't pay me extra, what do you expect?!\" At that point even I was shocked - \"So people openly tell you they want money?!\" \"Get used to it Kasia, It's Russia....\" \nNeedless to say, she was forced to pay the second time around and surprise, surprise, she passed.... \n \nI taught English in a company. I came one week, and saw that everyone was kind of in a rush and slightly agitated. I asked what the problem was and they said they were waiting for an audit. I remember wishing them good luck... One lady looked at me and smiled \"We paid the guys to look the other way, it will be fine!\" I didn't even bother to comment as I had aleady known there was no point...
\n
GETTING INTO A PRIVATE EVENT
\n
It was the three of us - my BF, his friend and I. We wanted to do some clubbing and the friend decided we should go to a very trendy bar in the heart of Moscow. He had a loyalty card there and was well known among the bouncers. We didn't really look the part, but a hefty fee paid for each of us (by the friend) was enough to let us in...
\n
That was a minor party. Let's talk about the big stuff, involving bigger money! \nIf you know someone, who knows someone, who knows someone you might be able to (legally) attend the dress rehearsal of the famous Victory Parade in May (the 9th to be exact). It costs about 10k (137 Euro, 116 Pounds , 153 Dollars) Watch fragments of the video below to see the magnitude of what I am talking about.
\n
The whole thing is long, play with it a little bit. The good stuff starts at about 40 minutes. Source
\n
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EI3FYynz-Q
\n
To enter the actual parade however, you need to be a prominent member of the society (e.g. ex-military) or someone famous or filthy rich :)
\n
The event itself is quite impressive and for soldiers taking part in the march it is an honor among honors. \nWe had the privilege of living 15 minutes on foot from the Red Square so we saw all the preparations and marches right outside our windows (till 11pm at night...)
\n
\n
PS. I am aware that my portrayal of Moscow might seem bleak and depressing. Believe me, it was not. I;m simply trying to describe the juicy bits, the interesting stuff :) My next post will be more optimistic as I will be talking about sports, parks an recreations :)
Just recently here in Roswell NM (where I live, yes) I was telling a shop owner about Steem and Steemit, and he made the comment that he thought it sounded like \"...one more step towards the Mark of The Beast\"...
\n
\"...And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six...\" \n - Revelation Chapter 13 (Full Chapter)
\n
Yes Virginia... I hate to break it to you, but digital currency IS indeed \"one more step towards the mark of the beast\" - and we all know it.
\n
Let's just get that out of the way now. But fear not, this is NOT a paranoid religious post warning people about the eternal dangers of joining Steemit, nor of using digital currency in general however. This is just a hopefully rational religious post (inspired by a secular article) meant to stem paranoid fear (amongst Christians mainly) of utilizing Steemit specifically, and digital currency in general. Which I will get back to in just a second...
\n
But first... If to you, \"stemming this fear\" makes me \"part of the Satanic conspiracy\" then I can't help that, and I won't engage with or reply to you if that is your view (which you are entitled to hold, and even to express as a comment below).
\n
I'd rather use my time to inform non-Christian people who may have clicked in here (for laughs perhaps?) that Yes, I believe that the mark of the beast is coming, and you DO need to aware of the dangers of accepting it!
(Hence the external articles links being detailed here for further reading - which I have not closely vetted btw, they just had top matches for images)...
\n
Anyways...
\n
As I told my friend Don (who DID join Steemit @roswellrockman ) \"So is your debit card!\"
\n
Putting Don and I's end-of-conversation succinctly, there are many aspects of our everyday lives that have brought and are bringing us \"one step closer\" to the mark of the beast - but they are not in themselves the mark, they are not evil, and (imho) they are not to be feared, or shunned.
\n
(Altho I will note respectfully that The American Amish community feels differently - see the link below these next images.)
\n
There are indeed many examples from our now-everyday lives that could easily be said to be bringing us \"one step closer\" ... such as the \"Bar Codes\" on every product we purchase
\n
\n... especially if the same types of \"scanners\" that read them, were then pointed to a laser tattoo or RFID chip in your hand, to receive payment for these goods at the register.
\"Radio Frequency ID chips\" (see Wikipedia article) are already being used (some will say \"being tested\") to help pet owners keep track of their pets. Wal-Mart and other retailers also use them to track expensive items, to help prevent shoplifting. And especially \"hi-tech\" firms demanding secrecy and security clearances even use them on employees!
\n
Could Big Brother and The Rothchild's and The Federal Reserve Banks and The U.N. (collectively, \"The New World Order\") one day very soon use all of this to both track you physically, and to observe or control your money supply?
\n
Absolutely!
\n
It's no stretch at all to imagine combining RFID technology with UPC Bar Codes - and then connecting it all to your bank account via the Internet (or the Blockchain!) - to fulfill the Bible prophecy about the mark of the beast happening in the near future, or in our lifetimes.
\n
Folks I am no stranger to this belief. I first penned the words myself way back in 1997 (in my original webpage and book \"Come Sail Away : UFO Phenomenon & The Bible\"- << Amazon link to 2105 version) in the section I titled \"Genesis 6 to 666\"
\n
\"To understand how the world\u2019s entire economy could be tied into a mark on one\u2019s flesh would be a completely unimaginable miracle - a near impossibility - inconceivable to most Christians throughout the ages. This has left some events of the book of Revelation a little hard to piece together into a believable probability, much less an immediate future. \n \n\"In order to accomplish such an incredible thing, you\u2019d have to have some way to access a person\u2019s bank account from anywhere in the known world; all financial institutions would have to have some way of talking to each other through some sort of, of, machinated \"net,\" or a \"web,\" or something; you\u2019d have to come up with some sort of mark, or magnetic strip, or some \"barred code\" that some futuristic \"scanner\" could read; surgical or laser-tattoo technology capable of implanting it, and a \"personal secret code\" so that no one could ever rob you in this \"cashless society.\" Any-time machinery, for financial transactions, would have to be everywhere. Everyone would have to be assigned a separate number at birth. These \"scanner devices\" would have to be in every grocery, hardware, department and convenience store, and every product would have to be marked with this computerized bar-code\u2026 \n \n\"Yup, you\u2019d need all that\u2026 \n \n\"Get that in place and you\u2019re ready to go...\"
YES. All kinds of technological advances from the past 30 years and more could and probably WILL - imho - be used to make the Mark of the Beast possible... call me a paranoid religious nut if you like, I do firmly believe that such is coming.
\n
The Internet itself, for example, connects and brings the whole world online. But if you're using it to read this, now, you are perhaps already hooked, and have no room to talk about Steem or digital currencies being the pre-cursors to the mark of the beast. Because everything you're already using is also...
\n
The magnetic strips on the back of the debit and credit cards you've (most likely) been using for years and years. Online banking... Bar Code technology in grocery stores that you apparently don't have the religious conviction to oppose not abstain from ... retinal scanners, or fingerprint security features in your smartphone...
\n
See what I mean?
\n
If you are not a practicing Amish person - or you use only \"true money\" (Gold and Silver) to barter and to trade for goods and services when you need them (or farm and grow your own food, to ensure that you don't) - then there are already DOZENS of aspects of your everyday life that you have accepted and routinely utilize that have already in fact brought YOU \"one step closer to the mark of the beast.\"
\n
YES - these \"new-fangled concepts\" like Steem Dollars, Bitcoin, and Digital Currencies are perhaps OBVIOUS steps moving us all FURTHER along that path to one-world government under antichrist...
\n
(EXCEPT IT MUST BE NOTED in this article for you newbies to the concept, that TO-DATE, popular digital currencies (Steem, Bitcoin, Etherium, etc, etc) are actually intended AND ARE CURRENTLY BEING USED to help users MOVE AWAY from immoral government spying networks, and away from evil centralized banking platforms, putting \"the power in the hands of the people\" - for awhile at least.
\n
So technically, by joining Steemit and adopting Steem as currency, you are fighting the underpinings of the Satanic One-World government that is forming all around us. You are actually, literally, restraining The Beast from his march to power! For awhile anyways...
\n
So there.)
\n
But yes, I would affirm that some form of digital currency in general could and possibly will be used by the evil-antichrist-oneworldgovernment-rothschilds-federalreserve-warmongeringtotalitarian New World Order yet to arise under the real antichrist when he appears.
\n
In fact, it was seeing this article today published by The Coin Telegraph
that inspired me to drop everything and write this particular article.
\n
The Coin Telegraph wonderfully details how national interests (Satanic, New World Order interests, for our purposes here) probably will in fact adopt a digital currency of their own in the coming years. I can totally see THEIR VERSION of a global digital currency exchange being the near-final step in implementing the true Mark of the Beast, when (but not until) The Antichrist is revealed.
\n
But Steem/Steemit just isn't it. Today's free market digital currencies - if anything - are the \"gum in the works - fly in the ointment - monkey wrench in the machine\" to the eventual true Mark of the Beast, now that I think about it. Today's digital currencies actually serve to free us from the system that is now in place, by providing de-centralized mediums of currency (barter, exchange, etc) that serve as powerful alternatives to current banking structures, and chains.
\n
Governmental agencies (NWO ones or not) are actually in a scramble currently to figure out HOW to regulate, tax, and ultimately control the existing currencies. But neither they - not the devil - are behind them.
\n
So my position is to say that unless you're either willing to become Amish today and forego ALL of the technologies I've detailed here (and electricity) then you've really nothing to fear from becoming an early adopter of Steem/Steemit.
\n
The Bible clearly instructs and solemnly warns all to not accept the Mark of the Beast, when it finally comes in the form of a mark on your hand or forehead that cannot buy or sell without receiving. Abstaining from \"the steps\" has proven impractical, unavoidable (again, except to the Amish), and ultimately not directly commanded in scripture. \n \n=============== \nTwo things in closing: \n#1) Here's one more lengthy scripture-packed article on Biochips & TMOTB I'll recommend if you're unlearned about the whole topic... \n#2) You may have noticed in this article that I'm an author in Roswell who deals with the topics of Aliens, UFOs, and The Bible. I have to date organized 7 conferences on that topic, and (after a 7 year hiatus) am putting together a new one for Summer 2017... please follow @ancientofdays for updates and tons of videos yet to come from past speakers and theologians who have participated, and will be again this year.
\n
I bring all of this up in THIS article, only to announce here that:
\n
My non-profit \"Roswell Mission\" will be accepting Steem for conference registrations (follow for details) and that \nUP-FRONT VIP SEATING goes to those who pay VIA STEEMIT!

Model of Skeleton hands,without scissors and glue.
Aimed at deeper integration with POS terminals and payments between counterparties. \nA preliminary Initial Coin Offering finished on 4 September, where BlockPay sold 5% of the 100-million stock of BLOCKPAY tokens released on the BitShares blockchain. Future owners will receive dividends from transaction fees paid to BlockPay. \nThe pre-ICO was done in 3 stages:
\n
\n
1st \u2014 exchange of OPENPOS for BLOCKPAY at the rate of 1.2 to 1 (fund of 600,000 tokens)
\n
2nd \u2014 sale of BLOCKPAY at the price of 0.000288 BTC (fund of 1.4 mln tokens)
\n
3rd \u2014 sale of BLOCKPAY at the price of 0.000360 BTC (fund of 3 mln tokens)
\n
\n
The distribution of tokens is as follows:
\n
\n
1.5% \u2014 marketing for pre-ICO
\n
5% \u2014 pre-ICO
\n
0.9% \u2014 early adopters
\n
1.8% \u2014 advisors and partners
\n
3.6% \u2014 marketing
\n
7.2% \u2014 developers reward
\n
80% \u2014 upcoming ICO in 2017
\n
\n
The platform development plan:
\n
\n
The release of BlockPay \"S\" app for Android and payment terminals Odoo
\n
BlockPay integration with leading payment terminals
\n
API Development
\n
The addition of a large number of fiat gateway exchanges and Escrow Services
\n
The addition of anonymous transactions function
\n
The development and release of the ECHO messenger for Android and iOS
\n
Development of the first version of the BlockPay \"S\" app for iOS
\n
\n
The project looks interesting, given the fact that they claim an integration with the ERP and CRM systemOdoo used by 60 thousand companies. The only disturbing thing is the absence of an open source software, and this spoils the whole picture. Transaction payments fee and, consequently, planned cash flow for investors are not sufficiently explained either. It should be kept in mind that this project is centralised, i.e. it belongs to the class of projects that demand trust in the founders and, correspondingly, require a thorough audit of operating activity. \nCrowdsale summary:
\n
\n
Dates: 20 August 2016 \u2014 4 September 2016
\n
Raised: ~ $657,000 (1096 BTC)

The project is interesting primarily due to the fact that it will be implemented using the Hyperledger platform. There are no other features that distinguish it from a number of similar blockchain projects, except that it is aimed specifically at the Chinese audience.
The crowdsale is finished. The full description of the history of the ICO and the risks associated with investing in this asset may be found in the previous issue of Blockchain Boom.
\n
Crowdsale summary:
\n
\n
Dates: 29 February 2016 \u2014 19 August 2016
\n
Raised: ~ $416,000 (~ 710 BTC), the exact amount is not available, because in course of funding escrow addresses changed several times and the movement of funds between them was extremely nontransparent.
The aim of the project is the creation of management platform for crypto investment funds and the launch of two associated investment funds. \n
\n
The subject of the crowdsale is ICN tokens representing 100% of Iconomy Open Fund Management Platform (OFM). The total number of ICN tokens to be sold is 85 million. 100 million of ICN will be released on the Ethereum platform within 10 days after the end of the crowdsale. Tokens will be distributed among investors proportionally to their contributions taking into account bonuses for early participation (+ 15% in the first week, + 10% in the second week, + 5% in the third week). \nPrecise information on the distribution of ICN tokens is missing on the official website. According to the information in the related Bitcointalk thread, the tokens will be distributed as follows:
\n
\n
85% - to be sold in the crowdsale
\n
8% - founders reward
\n
3% - reserve for the future team
\n
2% - advisers reward
\n
2% - marketing and bounty
\n
\n
Money raised from the crowdsale will be used as follows:
\n
\n
62% - development
\n
25% - operations
\n
9% - legal expenses
\n
4% - marketing
\n
\n
ICN owners will receive weekly dividends in ETH from all sources of Iconomi income, such as:
\n
\n
management fees
\n
rewards for fund management efficiency
\n
fees received from the funds registered with OFM
\n
\n
ICN holders will be able to vote on a number of matters related to the development of OFM, including choosing of the \"platform operator\" (currently, Cashila OOD s.r.o.)
\n
The development plan:
\n
\n
4Q 2016 \u2013 the launch of the open investment fund ICONOMI.INDEX, which will follow the likely development of the cryptocurrency market and will be freely traded on the market;
\n
4Q 2016 \u2013 the launch of the closed investment fund ICONOMI.PERFORMANCE, which will focus on riskier investments in projects at an early stage of development
\n
2017 \u2013 the launch of the platform for management of investment funds (OFM), the transfer of ICONOMI.INDEX and ICONOMI.PERFORMANCE funds to the platform.
\n
\n
Blind spots:
\n
\n
The currency is not specified for evaluation of the raised funds for further distribution of ICN tokens among investors.
\n
Will a part of the funds received during the crowdsale be allocated to ICONOMI.INDEX and ICONOMI.PERFORMANCE and, if so, will ICN holders receive relevant shares in these funds?
\n
There is no information as to the amount and frequency of fees charged from funds managed on OFM.
\n
The functions of the \"platform operator\" is described but very vaguely, as well as the process of further decision making involving ICN holders.
\n
\n
Red flags:
\n
\n
There is no description of technical solutions for the project's tasks
\n
No program code is published
\n
\n
Crowdsale summary:
\n
\n
Dates: 25 August 2016 \u2014 29 October 2016
\n
Total number of tokens: 100 mln ICN
\n
Tokens distribution: 85% will be sold in the crowdsale, 15% team reward and marketing
\n
Minimum crowdsale goal: 2 000 BTC (~ $1.5 mln)
\n
Raised so far: ~ $3.6 million (2,200 BTC + 71,000 ETH + 1.2 mln LSK + 63,000 USD + 940,000 EUR) from more than 1300 participants.
The main focus of the project is providing the opportunity for trading in precious metals. \nThe network will be implemented as follows:
\n
\n
Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm
\n
Decentralised Exchange
\n
Cloud-based blockchain
\n
\n
Apart from a patently weak 8-page paper and a number of publications on the blog, no detailed information about the project was found via official channels. Program code is also not disclosed. Nevertheless, developers promise to launch the network on 31 October 2016. \nDuring the crowdsale, bonuses from 20% to 5% will be distributed, depending on the time of investment. \n
\n
Crowdsale summary:
\n
\n
Dates: 6 August 2016 \u2014 October 6, 2016
\n
Total number of tokens: 100 mln
\n
Tokens distribution: 80% will be sold to the crowdsale participants, 10% is a team reward and 10% are marketing expenses
Investments are made by transferring ETH to the Etherium contract. \n
\n
The Fund is formed for the period of 4 years, 3 of which are put for investing while the last year is for the exit. 80% of the money received as a result of fund liquidation will be distributed among Hongcoin holders, 20% among managers. Annual 2% fee to be charged for operational expenses of the managing organisation. The fee allocation will be defined by voting. The fund can be \"frozen\" at any time by the decision of 50% of shareholders.
\n
As a purpose for investment, 3 directions are selected: disruptive innovation, creativity and educational projects. Hong founders believe that the blockchain technology will most significantly impact these fields of human activity. \nThe fund operates according to the following scheme:
\n
\n
Fund managers review projects and make a decision on whitelisting them;
\n
Hongcoin holders vote for the allocation of funds for investments within 15 days (the quorum of 20% is required for the approval of an investment);
\n
Fund managers prepare due-diligence and investment strategy for the project and provide any possible assistance in the development and promotion of the project;
\n
When the fund's term comes to an end, the managers carry out the exit process.
\n
\n
A company will be established for the management of raised funds, but it has not been determined yet in which jurisdiction. There is no information on the management parties available on the website nor through any the official channels. \nThe crowdsale takes place in several stages, with 50 mln Hongcoin sold at each stage:
\n
\n
50 mln \u0126 \u2013 1.00 ETH \u0437\u0430 100 \u0126
\n
50 mln \u0126 \u2013 1.05 ETH \u0437\u0430 100 \u0126
\n
50 mln \u0126 \u2013 1.10 ETH \u0437\u0430 100 \u0126
\n
50 mln \u0126 \u2013 1.15 ETH \u0437\u0430 100 \u0126
\n
50 mln \u0126 \u2013 1.20 ETH \u0437\u0430 100 \u0126
\n
\n
As long as the crowdsale is going on, investors will have the opportunity to change their mind and withdraw invested funds. After the crowdsale is finished, the exit opportunity will be closed. \nCrowdsale summary:
\n
\n
Dates: 29 August 2016 \u2014 29 October 2016 (may be extended until 28 November)
\n
Total number of tokens: to be determined by the end of the crowdsale
\n
Tokens distribution: 100% will be sold in the crowdsale
\n
Crowdsale goal: at least 1,575,000 ETH (~ $19 mln), the maximum is 2.7 mln ETH (~ $33 mln)
One year after a crowdsale that raised $126,000 aimed at the development and launch of a decentralised social network, the project team announced the second funding round and the launch of the network'salpha version. Two funding campaigns start at the same time in September: the sale of Synereo Ltd shares on BnkToTheFuture and of AMP tokens. \nFollowing the first crowdfunding, the distribution of AMP was as follows:
\n
\n
2.72% (45.8 mln) \u2014 sold during the first crowdsale
\n
11.9% (200 mln) \u2014 user rewards
\n
8.92% (150 mln) \u2014 reserve for the content creators
\n
11.9% (200 mln) \u2014 founders' reward
\n
13.68% (230 mln) \u2014 bounty program
\n
50.61% (850.4 mln) \u2014 next funding
\n
\n
Synereo revised their plans and now aim to develop a protocol similar to the SAFE Network, which will include the following components:
\n
\n
Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm
\n
Distributed network of nodes connected on the principle of \"shards\", where blockchain is divided into many small segments
\n
Distributed repository
\n
Smart contracts
\n
Social layer (a social network motivated according to the Attention Economy Model)
\n
The possibility of building distributed apps
\n
\n
The grant program for dApps developers Project 11 with a budget of 1.11 million AMP is already in operation. \n
\n
The popular website CoinMarketCap misleadingly states current Synereo capitalisation at about $10-13 million, which is not true because it is only the cost of 62,580,000 AMP (3.72%) in circulation on the market. According to cyber \u2022 Fund's calculations, with the total of 1.68 billion tokens, Synereo's real capitalisation reaches $300 million.
\n
It has not been disclosed yet how many tokens will be put up for sale, but we can assume that the minimum amount claimed by Synereo is about $130-140 million in case the entire reserve is sold, which is 850.4 mln AMP. This is a very ambitious plan, taking into account current distribution and the market price of tokens. Besides, it should be kept in mind that after the launch of the network, additional 5% of AMP will be emitted every year. In my opinion, they should sell the whole reserve without fixed prices and with token distribution proportional to investments. It will provide normal distribution and a fair market capitalisation.
\n
Despite the presence of a strong team with an excellent technological vision, we consider the evaluation of $300 mln inadequate.
\n
Crowdsale summary:
\n
\n
Dates: September 2016
\n
Total number of tokens: 1.68 billion AMP
\n
Number of tokens for sale: unknown, probably 850.4 mln
The aim of the project is to adopt any customer personal computer for the work that is done today by servers, computing farms or supercomputers.
\n
As the result, Golem Net will become a truly decentralised network where users' summarised machine power will provide any amount of hardware resources required. At the moment, there is no document explaining how exactly it would work. We hope that such paper will appear before the crowdsale.
\n
The Golem App will connect to the network from a local device to share computing power and deliver tasks for calculations. \nThe micropayment system based on Ethereum will provide the incentivising component distributing rewards and processing transactions. Transaction fee will be set at 5%.
\n
Currently, the network can work only with public data because the apps require direct access to data. \nDevelopers announced the crowdsale on their blog.
\n
Golem Network Tokens (GNT) are the shares that give the right to receive part of the revenue generated by Golem Network.
\n
Crowdsale start date: September 2016.
\n
Token distribution:
\n
\n
Total number of tokens: unknown
\n
82% \u2014 crowdsale
\n
6% \u2014 founders reward
\n
12% \u2014 developer company reward
\n
Estimated amount of funds: a minimum of 100,000 ETH, a maximum of 650,000 ETH
The ultimate goal of the project is the creation a thriving industry of decentralised entertainment.
\n
What they promise:

\u25cf SINGULAR \u2013 a TV series. \nThe S-DTV flagship product is an epic sci-fi adventure TV series about decentralisation, scaling and emergence of intelligent systems that lead the humanity to a technological singularity.

\u25cf Documentary division \nThis division will create full-length and short-length documentary series and movies about the blockchain, decentralisation and Ethereum.
\n
\u25cf S-DTV rights management platform \nAn app that will use smart contracts for registration and management of digital rights, as well as of income and royalties on intellectual property, namely, movies and television. Deals in the film and TV industry are the most difficult to arrange as they often involve hundreds of individual participants.
\n
\u25cf On-demand video content portal (TVOD) \nTVOD changes the way people watch entertainment programmes. S-DTV is born to create the TVOD portal for original content distribution, as well as for selected and acquired content. In addition to developing an interface on IPFS, S-DTV will use third-party portals such as GooglePlay, AppleTV iTunes and Vimeo to build a larger audience in a short time.
\n
Minimum investment goal \u2013 $500,000.
\n
Desirable funding \u2013 $7,5 mln.
\n
According to S-DTV documentation, Swiss company MME has developed a new, innovative organisational structure specifically for S-DTV: the Centralised Organised Distributed Company (CODE). It is the Swiss company, therefore, that will manage the finances and reinvest the income, while tokens will be used for paying out the dividends.
\n
Token distribution:
\n
\n
400 mln Singular DTV GMBH
\n
100 mln core investors
\n
500 mln crowdsale
\n
\n
Funds distribution in case if $7,5 mln is raised:
\n
\n
\"Singular\" season 1 (3 episodes of the mini-series): $3.25 mln
\n
Documentary division: $0.50 mln
\n
Development of the rights management platform: $2 mln
\n
TVOD portal development: $1 mln
\n
Marketing: $0.50 mln
\n
Administrative, legal expenses and unforeseen circumstances: $0.25 mln
\n
\n
Crowdfunding is planned for September and will likely take place at Devcon2.
\n
The Ethereum and Consensys founder Joseph Lubin is included into the team as CTO.
\n
Unfortunately, in this project tokens only serve for distribution of dividends, and the project is centralised because 40% of tokens belong to Singular DTV GMBH. Another disadvantage is the fact that of the four declared founders/directors, only Zach Lebeau will work full time on the project. He is likely to be engaged in the studio rather than in the platform development; there are also risks associated with SEC.
\n
The main question is the development of the TVOD platform and the rights management platform: there is no understanding as to what kind of team will be working on it, and no technical description at the moment. If both platforms can be really implemented, the project is promising for investment.=
It is designed for creative people, writers, bloggers, journalists and their fans and followers. The platform enables users to publish any posts, images, video or music content with no restrictions.
\n
Consensus algorithm \u2013 Proof-of-Stake.
\n
Decent has three functional roles:
\n
\n
Authors: content producers, writers, music producers etc.
\n
Consumers: readers, listeners and viewers
\n
Publishers: miners
\n
\n
Token distribution \u2013 30% via mining and 70% is distributed during the crowdsale, some of them will go to pre-mine funds to be distributed in the following way:
On the crowdsale page, next to the conditions, we see a message that the project is supported by Google, though it does not correspond to the project's primary activity. Moreover, the current yellow paper ignores many issues such as, for example, how miners would store the content. Decent enters the content distribution market where such projects as Steemit, Synereo and LBRY already operate.
This platform will allow players to bet without intermediaries. The payoff distribution will be also managed via smart contracts.
\n
The eSports betting market holds more than $130 million per year with 30% annual growth rate.
\n
3 monetisation channels:
\n
\n
Matchmaking
\n
Revenue from the tournament organisation
\n
Advertising
\n
\n
Token will allow:
\n
\n
Match playing
\n
Match refereeing and voting for the referee
\n
Placing tournaments
\n
Requesting an award from referrals
\n
\n
Tokens distribution:
\n
\n
Crowdsale, 4 weeks, in the first hour 170 tokens for 1 ETH
\n
10% to the project founders; these funds will be blocked for 12 months
\n
5% will be placed in the platform development fund for the promotion and tournament awards
\n
2.5 mln - bounty fund, to be distributed during the crowdsale for advertising and debugging
\n
\n
Crowdsale start date: 26 September 2016.
\n
In my opinion, it is an interesting project. The only reservation is that the market is not very vast, albeit actively developing. Besides, the motivation for developers and other market players is not very well thought through. In this regard, central players, who can also use smart contracts and predictions market to confirm the events results, may have an advantage. However, this project may indeed become the market leader on the condition of good community building and active incentivising of referees and the jury.
The basic principle is to follow the industry's trend to monetise customer attention and create a convenient and fair trading platform for all parties involved, including Internet users. Mass allows users to receive instant rewards for web surfing through the built-in p2p infrastructure based on the blockchain. As a result, advertisers will pay users a fair price for their attention and data without intermediaries. \n
\n
An increasing number of customers are using ad-blocking software. Mass offers a browser extension and a mobile app that can block ads as well as protect personal data. Yet, their primary goal is not blocking but rather improving users' experience with advertising and rewarding them with cryptocurrency to establish a consumer-advertiser relationship and, therefore, reduce the number of ad-block users. Mass will also have a cryptocurrency wallet and blockchain-based payment system.
\n
Crowdsale dates: 6 September \u2014 1 December 2016
\n
Token distribution:
\n
\n
70% to the crowdsale participants
\n
30% to Mass team members
\n
\n
Mass plans to build its own full-blown infrastructure for advertising industry with an internal token. A similar solution has been already introduced to the market \u2013 the Brave browser. It blocks default ads and replaces it with incentivising ad materials. The bitcoins received from advertisers are distributed among users, the platform and the endorsing website. In my opinion, if Mass used smart contracts or a proprietary blockchain enabling further token emission to incentivise users and websites, they could compete with bitcoin. However, Mass token works on the bitcoin blockchain, which on the one hand makes it very secure, but on the other, has no advantage over bitcoin per se. In favour of bitcoin are accessibility, recognition, and a more stable price.
All data and calculations are quoted as of 6 September 2016 with bitcoin price at $609. For closed crowdsales evaluation in USD is given using the average token price at the date of closure.
In the morning, at 5 am when the moon completes his round, the alarm rings, my deepest sleep I wake up painfully. K\u00e9ops my cat starts singing tour and stops only when he filled his mess tin. Sweety then, the cat of my son jumps on the furniture in the kitchen and also claimed his bowl. Kashmir him not to come after me, until I make him hugs.
\n
\n
\n
\n
A small cup of coffee and I'm up for the day. After my shower, I have to feed the fish pond and two hens, they are waiting for me impatiently for me to release them from their cages.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
6:15, I start my bag on her arm, my water bottle and my biscuit for lunch. On the road I am alone, few vehicles I meet. Great to run your car on a deserted road. In the winter when it snowed, I am the first to make tracks in the whiteness of the snow grows like cotton wool, sometimes, crazy beyond me and skids, it is an adrenaline rush. In summer the sun rises gives the sky a color of red sweetness, yellow, orange. In autumn, the trees begin to change color, it is a season because I love the beauty of trees is unique.
\n
\n
\n
Here I come down the street or is my workplace, hospital, regional hospital, the CHR. Vehicles coming after one another because we start at 7am. The staff is found, speak, tells their evening then everyone goes to the same place: the time clock, control object of our hours worked.
\n
\n
\n
In the ladies locker room, it gets held: white jacket with blue and green patterns representing the logo of the institution, blue pants with various pockets which we do not serve!
\n
\n
\n
We arrive in our service, mine is the neurological rehabilitation service: we give up (or so) of people who have a stroke, an accident with neurological trauma, people who have multiple sclerosis or Guillain barred and other chronic diseases whose name is almost unknown.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
We start our day with a report on each patient last night, we have 20 in service. After beginning the nursing: we make the toilet of the patient who is totally dependent. We get up in the chair. For others, we must educate, continue the actions he has learned with the therapist in the individual care, the patient should regain maximum independence so they can go home and take care only . It's a job that can last from 3 months to 6 months beyond, we can not do anything for them.
\n
\n
\n
Headline in this service is: you come to bed but you leave again walking.
\n
\n
Sometimes, we fail either because the patient does not want a return to autonomy, or because the patient is too ill. We give the same chance to everyone, rich, poor, alcoholic, drug addict, young or old.
\n
\n
The management of a patient goes from shaving the beard of a man to the presentation on the toilet, the room arrangement the carefully tended beds.
\n
\n
Lunch arrived around 8:30 am, few patient is in the dining hall for breakfast, other unfinished eat in bed Logistical assistance serves meals that are different if the patient is diabetic, diet, dieters, old, or in solid supply resumption. You should know that when the patient has had a stroke, a stroke, swallowing is absent, which means that if the patient eats a sandwich, but he swallows the bread goes in the bronchial tubes and not in the stomach, giving a false swallowing, bronchi become infected and it's a disaster. So this patient who made false swallowing should eat while cream consistency and drink thickened liquid. Which is not very good but I admit it must go through these stages in order to re-eat a day normally.
\n
\n
Physiotherapists arrive at 9am and leave a 17h, occupational therapists also. There is also a neuropsychologist, a speech therapist and all do work that allows the patient to regain maximum independence, which means that the patient all day is busy. Visitors can come between 14:30 and 19:30.
\n
\n
After lunch, we continue our work, when all is well, we finish around 10:30 or 11am but sometimes it is noon we are still in the rooms.
\n
\n
In terms of handling, the entry of the patient, it is usually in bed or in a wheelchair with a right hemiplegia or left, some have forgotten that they had half a disabled body, so it must withstand and no wear and show him how to do with one leg to go from wheelchair to bed and vice versa. Others are completely invalid, they know not move neither arms nor legs, and for those, or we wear them either we lift them with a forklift.
\n
\n
During dinner, we feed the disabled and we encode our care in the computer.
\n
\n
Around 13h, we are a few naps after going on the toilet. Sometimes we have a problem in the pants, oops! When everyone is changed to bed, we have a service change ratio and the time, the hour of the end of our service is lagging. At 14h is the start of the morning shift. For my part, I take a good shower and I take the way home or waiting for my cats and my dog makes me a big party.
\n
\n
We must not believe that the nursing profession is simple, each service is different and you can not compare the care of each other.
\n
\n
I hope I have not bothered you with this long text, I wish you a good day to you all.
I haven't stopped and taken a picture of the beauty around me in a long time. It's funny how we can get so caught up in work and the business of a crazy life and miss the simply beauty along the way. Sometime you've just got to stop and smell the roses; and while you're there, take a picture!
\n
\n
These aren't roses, I know: they're wild flowers. They don't get the nurture and care that roses do, and yet they are provided for and they bloom into beautiful blossoms in their own time. They have a harder life than others, and that's how we humans are as well. Some of us were well taken care of growing up and were treated like roses, while others were left in the field to grow up alone and without the love and care we should have had. But we are all beautiful in our own ways and if we survive long enough, we will blossom into something spectacular.
\n
\n
Colorado mountain rivers
\n
When the snow on the tops of the mountains melt, it feed the rushing rivers that carve their way down the mountainside. The climbing is excellent, the whether and the views are truly gorgeous, but something about the rivers rushing through the mountains draws you in. There is a memorization about the brave rivers unafraid of the mountains and simply rushing on by recklessly.
\n
\n
Mississippi at sunset
\n
Sometimes the world just slows down and magic happens. This was one of those times. On the night before my sister's wedding in Tupelo, Mississippi the sky exploded in color. What a calm reassurance before a monumental event: the approval stamp of God upon the sanction of their marriage.
\n

Hundreds of years old Indian hieroglyphs in Arizona
\n
This was an incredible hike in the Arizona mountain ranges to discover a place where the Apache Indians, or perhaps some other tribe had lived hundreds of years ago!
\n
\n
Uganda, Africa at twilight, from a moving bus
\n
Africa is always an adventure, but in 2015 we took a safari on the northern rim and caught this shot on the way back to the lodge. I love how the beauty of the world is unique in its diversity from place to place, even across the Atlantic.
\n
\n
This is one of my favorite shots. I don't remember where I took it or when, but the colors, the bliss, the peacefulness of this field of flowers was stunning. I'm glad I was able to capture an image of its beauty to remember it by. And to think, all of this beauty was made by God in a second! His power to create a world is amazing and perfect in every way. We get to see His marvelous creation every day!

Russian Roulette - A Memoir of my Two Years in Moscow - Part 2 - Under the Table Tactics
\n
In this part of my memoir I am going to attempt to describe the dark side of Moscow. All stories depicted here either happened directly to people I knew, or were described to me as a it's-russia-get-used-to-it anecdote. \nYes, I will be talking about corruption and paying people under the table for things but bear in mind that even though it seems like a common practice definitely not all people do that and not all people experience the phenomenon.
\n
A ROUTINE POLICE CHECK
\n
It is said that it is extremely wise to keep 2k-5k Rubles (about 28-68 Euro, 30-77 Dollars, 23-58 Pounds) in your registration papers at all times. They tend to disappear when you get your documents back from the officer... If one does not have such loose change, the guy tends to make one's life difficult. \"You were speeding\", \"You didn't stop at the STOP sign\", \"You're light is out\" etc. Driving is another interesting phenomenon in Moscow. You might think that since the metro is so packed, the streets will be empty. On the contrary, but I will not get into that right now as that makes a completely different post... However, what I will tell you is how one of my students passed her driving exam, which leads us to...
\n
PAYING TO PASS AN EXAM
\n
After her first failed attempt, my student looked at her instructor/examiner and asked: \"Could you please tell me what I did wrong, so I can work on it in the future?\" He stared back at her surprised and announced: \"Well, you didn't pay me extra, what do you expect?!\" At that point even I was shocked - \"So people openly tell you they want money?!\" \"Get used to it Kasia, It's Russia....\" \nNeedless to say, she was forced to pay the second time around and surprise, surprise, she passed.... \n \nI taught English in a company. I came one week, and saw that everyone was kind of in a rush and slightly agitated. I asked what the problem was and they said they were waiting for an audit. I remember wishing them good luck... One lady looked at me and smiled \"We paid the guys to look the other way, it will be fine!\" I didn't even bother to comment as I had aleady known there was no point...
\n
GETTING INTO A PRIVATE EVENT
\n
It was the three of us - my BF, his friend and I. We wanted to do some clubbing and the friend decided we should go to a very trendy bar in the heart of Moscow. He had a loyalty card there and was well known among the bouncers. We didn't really look the part, but a hefty fee paid for each of us (by the friend) was enough to let us in...
\n
That was a minor party. Let's talk about the big stuff, involving bigger money! \nIf you know someone, who knows someone, who knows someone you might be able to (legally) attend the dress rehearsal of the famous Victory Parade in May (the 9th to be exact). It costs about 10k (137 Euro, 116 Pounds , 153 Dollars) Watch fragments of the video below to see the magnitude of what I am talking about.
\n
The whole thing is long, play with it a little bit. The good stuff starts at about 40 minutes. Source
\n
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EI3FYynz-Q
\n
To enter the actual parade however, you need to be a prominent member of the society (e.g. ex-military) or someone famous or filthy rich :)
\n
The event itself is quite impressive and for soldiers taking part in the march it is an honor among honors. \nWe had the privilege of living 15 minutes on foot from the Red Square so we saw all the preparations and marches right outside our windows (till 11pm at night...)
\n
\n
PS. I am aware that my portrayal of Moscow might seem bleak and depressing. Believe me, it was not. I;m simply trying to describe the juicy bits, the interesting stuff :) My next post will be more optimistic as I will be talking about sports, parks an recreations :)
Just recently here in Roswell NM (where I live, yes) I was telling a shop owner about Steem and Steemit, and he made the comment that he thought it sounded like \"...one more step towards the Mark of The Beast\"...
\n
\"...And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six...\" \n - Revelation Chapter 13 (Full Chapter)
\n
Yes Virginia... I hate to break it to you, but digital currency IS indeed \"one more step towards the mark of the beast\" - and we all know it.
\n
Let's just get that out of the way now. But fear not, this is NOT a paranoid religious post warning people about the eternal dangers of joining Steemit, nor of using digital currency in general however. This is just a hopefully rational religious post (inspired by a secular article) meant to stem paranoid fear (amongst Christians mainly) of utilizing Steemit specifically, and digital currency in general. Which I will get back to in just a second...
\n
But first... If to you, \"stemming this fear\" makes me \"part of the Satanic conspiracy\" then I can't help that, and I won't engage with or reply to you if that is your view (which you are entitled to hold, and even to express as a comment below).
\n
I'd rather use my time to inform non-Christian people who may have clicked in here (for laughs perhaps?) that Yes, I believe that the mark of the beast is coming, and you DO need to aware of the dangers of accepting it!
(Hence the external articles links being detailed here for further reading - which I have not closely vetted btw, they just had top matches for images)...
\n
Anyways...
\n
As I told my friend Don (who DID join Steemit @roswellrockman ) \"So is your debit card!\"
\n
Putting Don and I's end-of-conversation succinctly, there are many aspects of our everyday lives that have brought and are bringing us \"one step closer\" to the mark of the beast - but they are not in themselves the mark, they are not evil, and (imho) they are not to be feared, or shunned.
\n
(Altho I will note respectfully that The American Amish community feels differently - see the link below these next images.)
\n
There are indeed many examples from our now-everyday lives that could easily be said to be bringing us \"one step closer\" ... such as the \"Bar Codes\" on every product we purchase
\n
\n... especially if the same types of \"scanners\" that read them, were then pointed to a laser tattoo or RFID chip in your hand, to receive payment for these goods at the register.
\"Radio Frequency ID chips\" (see Wikipedia article) are already being used (some will say \"being tested\") to help pet owners keep track of their pets. Wal-Mart and other retailers also use them to track expensive items, to help prevent shoplifting. And especially \"hi-tech\" firms demanding secrecy and security clearances even use them on employees!
\n
Could Big Brother and The Rothchild's and The Federal Reserve Banks and The U.N. (collectively, \"The New World Order\") one day very soon use all of this to both track you physically, and to observe or control your money supply?
\n
Absolutely!
\n
It's no stretch at all to imagine combining RFID technology with UPC Bar Codes - and then connecting it all to your bank account via the Internet (or the Blockchain!) - to fulfill the Bible prophecy about the mark of the beast happening in the near future, or in our lifetimes.
\n
Folks I am no stranger to this belief. I first penned the words myself way back in 1997 (in my original webpage and book \"Come Sail Away : UFO Phenomenon & The Bible\"- << Amazon link to 2105 version) in the section I titled \"Genesis 6 to 666\"
\n
\"To understand how the world\u2019s entire economy could be tied into a mark on one\u2019s flesh would be a completely unimaginable miracle - a near impossibility - inconceivable to most Christians throughout the ages. This has left some events of the book of Revelation a little hard to piece together into a believable probability, much less an immediate future. \n \n\"In order to accomplish such an incredible thing, you\u2019d have to have some way to access a person\u2019s bank account from anywhere in the known world; all financial institutions would have to have some way of talking to each other through some sort of, of, machinated \"net,\" or a \"web,\" or something; you\u2019d have to come up with some sort of mark, or magnetic strip, or some \"barred code\" that some futuristic \"scanner\" could read; surgical or laser-tattoo technology capable of implanting it, and a \"personal secret code\" so that no one could ever rob you in this \"cashless society.\" Any-time machinery, for financial transactions, would have to be everywhere. Everyone would have to be assigned a separate number at birth. These \"scanner devices\" would have to be in every grocery, hardware, department and convenience store, and every product would have to be marked with this computerized bar-code\u2026 \n \n\"Yup, you\u2019d need all that\u2026 \n \n\"Get that in place and you\u2019re ready to go...\"
YES. All kinds of technological advances from the past 30 years and more could and probably WILL - imho - be used to make the Mark of the Beast possible... call me a paranoid religious nut if you like, I do firmly believe that such is coming.
\n
The Internet itself, for example, connects and brings the whole world online. But if you're using it to read this, now, you are perhaps already hooked, and have no room to talk about Steem or digital currencies being the pre-cursors to the mark of the beast. Because everything you're already using is also...
\n
The magnetic strips on the back of the debit and credit cards you've (most likely) been using for years and years. Online banking... Bar Code technology in grocery stores that you apparently don't have the religious conviction to oppose not abstain from ... retinal scanners, or fingerprint security features in your smartphone...
\n
See what I mean?
\n
If you are not a practicing Amish person - or you use only \"true money\" (Gold and Silver) to barter and to trade for goods and services when you need them (or farm and grow your own food, to ensure that you don't) - then there are already DOZENS of aspects of your everyday life that you have accepted and routinely utilize that have already in fact brought YOU \"one step closer to the mark of the beast.\"
\n
YES - these \"new-fangled concepts\" like Steem Dollars, Bitcoin, and Digital Currencies are perhaps OBVIOUS steps moving us all FURTHER along that path to one-world government under antichrist...
\n
(EXCEPT IT MUST BE NOTED in this article for you newbies to the concept, that TO-DATE, popular digital currencies (Steem, Bitcoin, Etherium, etc, etc) are actually intended AND ARE CURRENTLY BEING USED to help users MOVE AWAY from immoral government spying networks, and away from evil centralized banking platforms, putting \"the power in the hands of the people\" - for awhile at least.
\n
So technically, by joining Steemit and adopting Steem as currency, you are fighting the underpinings of the Satanic One-World government that is forming all around us. You are actually, literally, restraining The Beast from his march to power! For awhile anyways...
\n
So there.)
\n
But yes, I would affirm that some form of digital currency in general could and possibly will be used by the evil-antichrist-oneworldgovernment-rothschilds-federalreserve-warmongeringtotalitarian New World Order yet to arise under the real antichrist when he appears.
\n
In fact, it was seeing this article today published by The Coin Telegraph
that inspired me to drop everything and write this particular article.
\n
The Coin Telegraph wonderfully details how national interests (Satanic, New World Order interests, for our purposes here) probably will in fact adopt a digital currency of their own in the coming years. I can totally see THEIR VERSION of a global digital currency exchange being the near-final step in implementing the true Mark of the Beast, when (but not until) The Antichrist is revealed.
\n
But Steem/Steemit just isn't it. Today's free market digital currencies - if anything - are the \"gum in the works - fly in the ointment - monkey wrench in the machine\" to the eventual true Mark of the Beast, now that I think about it. Today's digital currencies actually serve to free us from the system that is now in place, by providing de-centralized mediums of currency (barter, exchange, etc) that serve as powerful alternatives to current banking structures, and chains.
\n
Governmental agencies (NWO ones or not) are actually in a scramble currently to figure out HOW to regulate, tax, and ultimately control the existing currencies. But neither they - not the devil - are behind them.
\n
So my position is to say that unless you're either willing to become Amish today and forego ALL of the technologies I've detailed here (and electricity) then you've really nothing to fear from becoming an early adopter of Steem/Steemit.
\n
The Bible clearly instructs and solemnly warns all to not accept the Mark of the Beast, when it finally comes in the form of a mark on your hand or forehead that cannot buy or sell without receiving. Abstaining from \"the steps\" has proven impractical, unavoidable (again, except to the Amish), and ultimately not directly commanded in scripture. \n \n=============== \nTwo things in closing: \n#1) Here's one more lengthy scripture-packed article on Biochips & TMOTB I'll recommend if you're unlearned about the whole topic... \n#2) You may have noticed in this article that I'm an author in Roswell who deals with the topics of Aliens, UFOs, and The Bible. I have to date organized 7 conferences on that topic, and (after a 7 year hiatus) am putting together a new one for Summer 2017... please follow @ancientofdays for updates and tons of videos yet to come from past speakers and theologians who have participated, and will be again this year.
\n
I bring all of this up in THIS article, only to announce here that:
\n
My non-profit \"Roswell Mission\" will be accepting Steem for conference registrations (follow for details) and that \nUP-FRONT VIP SEATING goes to those who pay VIA STEEMIT!
The morning sun is shining brightly, kissing my warmed skin, radiating through the glass of the window in my living room. It\u2019s the spot I stand at every morning, anxious to greet the new day and the little girl that walks by every morning at the same time. I always smile and wave at her, holding my hot coffee in my free hand. It\u2019s the perfect start of my day, even in the winter, when the sun is not that strong, but this young girl is, in a very special way, the real sunshine that brightens each beginning of my day. I look forward to and yearn for this brief moment we share, as it warms me in the deepest, most spiritual way I've ever felt.
\n
\n
Perhaps it's because this little girl reminds me of myself, when I was young and still so very innocent. I reminisce of my childhood as she approaches me, wistful in the memories that flood my senses. As she passes my house, she looks intently at me, flashing me the most warming, innocent smile that only a child can give, and ever so so slowly, she lifts her little hand to give me a friendly wave, knowing I will be here and It warms my demonic heart. At least, it warms it until the moment she passes and starts to look at the ground again. I have followed her a few times. She keeps her eyes on the ground until she gets to where she needs to be, whether it's school, the mall or even her own house. I do not wish to stalk, nor am I a freak. This little girl has just captured my interest and there is a deep mystery I feel, deep within her that gives us this strange connection, a deep sense that I NEED to do this, help her in some way? I don't know.
\n
\n
All I do know is that it tears at me from within and is a mystery that I need to unravel. This girl has something that has stirred a long lost emotion, deep inside my ice-cold heart. Maybe its because I am spending to much time here, living within the human realm. I do not belong here, living among them in this land, nor do I even care about humans, in general, at all. But this girl... mesmerizes me with the strangest feelings. I just feel an overwhelming need to know her.
\n
\n
Slowly I lift my hand and take a sip from my black coffee and from the corners of my eyes, I can see her coming my way. I am already feeling my lips curl into a soft smile. I get ready to see her smile back at me, as she always does, but she walks faster then normal now, keeping her eyes on to the ground. She did not smile at me, nor did she lifted her head. It made me feel cold, as if something was wrong, with this little angelic human child. Quickly I place my coffee on the side table and make my way outside, I know her scent, and its easy for me to pick up her trace. Her scent is like a fresh basket of pink flowers, but this time there is a little trace of warm blood mixed in her scent. It alerts my highly tuned senses and makes me walk even faster. Within a minute I see her at the corner and I speed up a little more.
\n
\n
At this moment I wish that I knew the child's name, so that I could call her. Her little red jacked makes me feel like I am a bull chasing her down, but in a good way. The girls face is hidden in the big hoodie that is on her jacket, and she is still looking down at the ground, while she takes step after step with her little feet. Softly, I tap her on her left shoulder, I can feel her jump at the surprising sensation of my touch. The child stops walking and slowly turns towards me. I can see fear in her troubled, glassy, big brown eyes as they stare at me, deeply and intently, into my sparkling green eyes that plead to her 'I'm here to help. Trust me!'
\n
\n
My heart tells me to kneel down so that I do not look so big, hoping it might take some of her fear away. I force myself to smile as sweet as I can, because the last thing I want is to scare this child I've been longing to get closer to, away from me.
\n
\n
\"I am sorry that I scared you.\" I speak to her in my soft, angelic voice, a ploy I use sometimes, to seem more friendly than I really am. I lift my hand for her to take, but she doesn't move, instead, her hands remain unflinching, nestled deep within her large, comfortable pockets. With my keen, inhuman ears, I can hear her little heart beating rhythmically in her chest. The scent of her fresh, untainted blood soon follows, so intoxicating, so inviting, tickling my nostrils, making me crave just a tiny powerful drop to savor, yet there is no sign of blood on this child at all. The feeling came over me so suddenly and oddly, I begin to wonder if she might have a few wounds hidden under her pretty clothing. Weirdly enough, too, is the fact that the scent of this little humans blood is not making me hungry, for the first time in my long demonic life, but instead, the scent of her blood gives me a deep, uncaring feeling of dread that genuinely worries me. I need to find out more, and fast!
\n
\n
\"May I ask your name?\" I ask her softly, while I placing both of my hands onto my knee's, not forcing them on her any longer, possibly scaring her away. \"You always smile so beautiful at me in the morning, but today I missed that.\" I continue some small talk, hoping she responds but when the little girl bites on the inside of her cheeks, her big brown eyes looking more than sad, there is no light in them at all and it even breaks my callous heart to see it.

The small Central American nation has generated 100 percent of its electricity from renewable sources for the past 113 days, and the run isn\u2019t over yet. The country, which draws clean energy from a variety of renewable sources, still has its sights on a full year without fossil fuels. With a 113-day stretch of 100-percent renewable energy under its belt and several months left in the year, Costa Rica is edging closer to its target. Costa Rica could be on track to match the record set with its renewable energy production last year, which accounted for 99 percent of the country\u2019s electricity. That included 285 days powered completely by renewable sources, according to the Costa Rican Electricity Institute. Costa Rica is able to take advantage of a multitude of renewable energy sources because of its unique climate and terrain. Most of the nation\u2019s renewable energy comes from hydropower, due to its large river system and heavy tropical rainfalls. Solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal energy also play key roles.\n\nThe tropical nation aims to be free from fossil fuels in just five years. With hefty investments in geothermal energy projects and a forecast for more heavy rains in the coming years, that goal could be accomplished even sooner than originally planned.",

Hi there fellow Steemers, my name is Lilli and here\u2019s a little bit about myself and why I\u2019m here.
\n
I am a London based artist and theatre designer-to-be. My aim is to bring a whole lot of culture and a little bit of me to Steemit.
\n
\n
Introduced to Steemit by a friend, I was rather skeptical at first. I generally don\u2019t trust the internet and all that is or isn\u2019t going on inside this impenetrable machine. Nevertheless I have now chosen to do these first steps into unknown land and overcome my e-phobia. My reason to do so is simply that this is the future, there\u2019s no way around it and you might as well live it! In fact I think it is an amazing opportunity for artists, travellers and intellectuals of all sorts to present and exchange their work and thoughts and opinion. It\u2019s a space to openly communicate with people all over the globe, freely express oneself and start discussions with total strangers. Overall it\u2019s a real step forward.
\n
\n
What you can expect from me on Steemit are posts about my work as an artist, studies of theatre design, observations within my city, on travels and of the human mind and really anything that catches my interest. Some of my hobbies and interests include travelling, exploring my city (London), ...
\n
\n
...cooking (though my boyfriend does most of that), photography, dressing up, mountaineering, rock climbing and other adrenalin enducing sports.
\n
\n
\n
Route of a crazy backpacker journey, I will most definitely write about. With 30 hour train journeys, friends left behind, a flooded festival and much more! \n \nIf you're curious for some travel adventures and cultural posts, FOLLOW ME! \nI promise it'll be worth it ;)

\n\nHello Steemit community! My name is Macey, and I have recently joined Steemit so I can become more involved with the Anarchist Community. I have written a couple articles, but in all the excitement, I forgot to give a proper introduction.\n\n
\n\nWhen I was just shy of twenty, I realized the truth of the nature of our government after watching the popular documentary, *Zeitgeist.* Shortly after, I started micro-dosing daily with psilocybin mushrooms. This form of therapy lasted three months. I consider this a vital part of my evolution as an anarchist, and have devoted my life to helping people understand alternative medicine and the positive effects they can have on the body, mind and spirit. I truly believe our minds are eternal libraries, and psychedelics can be the key to accessing that knowledge. \n\nI hope you'll join me here! My writings will be focused on alternative therapy, among other topics.",

Reagan was greatly admired by NOT only Republicans but even Democrats as well. The BIG TENT that the Democrats are now using was inherently borrowed from Ronald Reagan. He was well mannered & a consumate gentleman with a great positive attitude that he carried well. Reagan didn't build walls, he tore them down. He was at the helm during Gorbachev's 'glasnost' & 'peristroyka'. And Ronald Reagan fostered a GOOD relationship with the USSR as it finally fell. Reagan was the 'Great Communicator' & the 'Great Compromiser'. Even if you didn't agree with him, you still took a liking to him as he was very approachable. He compromised with a Democratic Congress & made the wheels of government turn. He was a 'strong leader' that didn't have to fight bloody conflicts & wars to make his point. But MOST of ALL Reagan stressed UNITY of nation & country. He just stayed well mannered at ALL TIMES!\n\nNow let's look at Trump. He's the 'Great Divider', good at setting one group against another. He's at best 'ill mannered' with a Totally NEGATIVE ATTITUDE. To Trump our nation is a 'miserable trash heap on a hill' and our diversity is just a 'punchline' to prey upon. Not ONLY is he insulting & unapproachable, most people want to 'punch' him in the face! Trump couldn't unify anything if he tried. He is a 'strong armed dictator' that wants everything & person to bend to his will. He lives on bad events, & thrives on misery. He wants his followers to GET INTO BLOODY CONFLICTS, and insistently wants to START World War 3! He knows no manners to speak of & he 'gins up' his followers into a 'frenzy' of violent behavior!\n\nAlso to note: Ronald Reagan was Governor of California for years before he took control at the helm of the Presidency! So he KNEW how government works! Donald Trump & his Teabagging Followers don't have the FIRST idea of how government operates. You don't run this country like a corporate interest!\n\nIn conclusion, believe it or not NAFTA was originally Reagan's 'brainchild'. If you have the 'slightest' respect for the Reagan legacy, you WON'T allow Trump into the White House!\n\n\n",

This is how the harbour of Palma de Mallorca looks like if you drop some Acid.
\n\n\n
(just kidding)
\n
Actually I played around with some presets in Adobe Lightroom.
\n
The one I used here is called Alien Hangover and can be downloaded here for free as part of a set called focus-beauty-builder.
\n
Below is the original image shot with the panorama function of my iPhone 6s. As you can see it's been a cloudy day.
\n\n\n
What kind of image processing software do you use?
\n
What are your thoughts about presets?

The morning sun is shining brightly, kissing my warmed skin, radiating through the glass of the window in my living room. It\u2019s the spot I stand at every morning, anxious to greet the new day and the little girl that walks by every morning at the same time. I always smile and wave at her, holding my hot coffee in my free hand. It\u2019s the perfect start of my day, even in the winter, when the sun is not that strong, but this young girl is, in a very special way, the real sunshine that brightens each beginning of my day. I look forward to and yearn for this brief moment we share, as it warms me in the deepest, most spiritual way I've ever felt.
\n
\n
Perhaps it's because this little girl reminds me of myself, when I was young and still so very innocent. I reminisce of my childhood as she approaches me, wistful in the memories that flood my senses. As she passes my house, she looks intently at me, flashing me the most warming, innocent smile that only a child can give, and ever so so slowly, she lifts her little hand to give me a friendly wave, knowing I will be here and It warms my demonic heart. At least, it warms it until the moment she passes and starts to look at the ground again. I have followed her a few times. She keeps her eyes on the ground until she gets to where she needs to be, whether it's school, the mall or even her own house. I do not wish to stalk, nor am I a freak. This little girl has just captured my interest and there is a deep mystery I feel, deep within her that gives us this strange connection, a deep sense that I NEED to do this, help her in some way? I don't know.
\n
\n
All I do know is that it tears at me from within and is a mystery that I need to unravel. This girl has something that has stirred a long lost emotion, deep inside my ice-cold heart. Maybe its because I am spending to much time here, living within the human realm. I do not belong here, living among them in this land, nor do I even care about humans, in general, at all. But this girl... mesmerizes me with the strangest feelings. I just feel an overwhelming need to know her.
\n
\n
Slowly I lift my hand and take a sip from my black coffee and from the corners of my eyes, I can see her coming my way. I am already feeling my lips curl into a soft smile. I get ready to see her smile back at me, as she always does, but she walks faster then normal now, keeping her eyes on to the ground. She did not smile at me, nor did she lifted her head. It made me feel cold, as if something was wrong, with this little angelic human child. Quickly I place my coffee on the side table and make my way outside, I know her scent, and its easy for me to pick up her trace. Her scent is like a fresh basket of pink flowers, but this time there is a little trace of warm blood mixed in her scent. It alerts my highly tuned senses and makes me walk even faster. Within a minute I see her at the corner and I speed up a little more.
\n
\n
At this moment I wish that I knew the child's name, so that I could call her. Her little red jacked makes me feel like I am a bull chasing her down, but in a good way. The girls face is hidden in the big hoodie that is on her jacket, and she is still looking down at the ground, while she takes step after step with her little feet. Softly, I tap her on her left shoulder, I can feel her jump at the surprising sensation of my touch. The child stops walking and slowly turns towards me. I can see fear in her troubled, glassy, big brown eyes as they stare at me, deeply and intently, into my sparkling green eyes that plead to her 'I'm here to help. Trust me!'
\n
\n
My heart tells me to kneel down so that I do not look so big, hoping it might take some of her fear away. I force myself to smile as sweet as I can, because the last thing I want is to scare this child I've been longing to get closer to, away from me.
\n
\n
\"I am sorry that I scared you.\" I speak to her in my soft, angelic voice, a ploy I use sometimes, to seem more friendly than I really am. I lift my hand for her to take, but she doesn't move, instead, her hands remain unflinching, nestled deep within her large, comfortable pockets. With my keen, inhuman ears, I can hear her little heart beating rhythmically in her chest. The scent of her fresh, untainted blood soon follows, so intoxicating, so inviting, tickling my nostrils, making me crave just a tiny powerful drop to savor, yet there is no sign of blood on this child at all. The feeling came over me so suddenly and oddly, I begin to wonder if she might have a few wounds hidden under her pretty clothing. Weirdly enough, too, is the fact that the scent of this little humans blood is not making me hungry, for the first time in my long demonic life, but instead, the scent of her blood gives me a deep, uncaring feeling of dread that genuinely worries me. I need to find out more, and fast!
\n
\n
\"May I ask your name?\" I ask her softly, while I placing both of my hands onto my knee's, not forcing them on her any longer, possibly scaring her away. \"You always smile so beautiful at me in the morning, but today I missed that.\" I continue some small talk, hoping she responds but when the little girl bites on the inside of her cheeks, her big brown eyes looking more than sad, there is no light in them at all and it even breaks my callous heart to see it.

+ "body": "http://i.imgsafe.org/e103059e0b.jpeg\nCosta Rica is much more than a lush, green tourist paradise; it\u2019s also a green energy pioneer. The small Central American nation has generated 100 percent of its electricity from renewable sources for the past 113 days, and the run isn\u2019t over yet. The country, which draws clean energy from a variety of renewable sources, still has its sights on a full year without fossil fuels. With a 113-day stretch of 100-percent renewable energy under its belt and several months left in the year, Costa Rica is edging closer to its target. Costa Rica could be on track to match the record set with its renewable energy production last year, which accounted for 99 percent of the country\u2019s electricity. That included 285 days powered completely by renewable sources, according to the Costa Rican Electricity Institute. Costa Rica is able to take advantage of a multitude of renewable energy sources because of its unique climate and terrain. Most of the nation\u2019s renewable energy comes from hydropower, due to its large river system and heavy tropical rainfalls. Solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal energy also play key roles.\n\nThe tropical nation aims to be free from fossil fuels in just five years. With hefty investments in geothermal energy projects and a forecast for more heavy rains in the coming years, that goal could be accomplished even sooner than originally planned.",

Hi there fellow Steemers, my name is Lilli and here\u2019s a little bit about myself and why I\u2019m here.
\n
I am a London based artist and theatre designer-to-be. My aim is to bring a whole lot of culture and a little bit of me to Steemit.
\n
\n
Introduced to Steemit by a friend, I was rather skeptical at first. I generally don\u2019t trust the internet and all that is or isn\u2019t going on inside this impenetrable machine. Nevertheless I have now chosen to do these first steps into unknown land and overcome my e-phobia. My reason to do so is simply that this is the future, there\u2019s no way around it and you might as well live it! In fact I think it is an amazing opportunity for artists, travellers and intellectuals of all sorts to present and exchange their work and thoughts and opinion. It\u2019s a space to openly communicate with people all over the globe, freely express oneself and start discussions with total strangers. Overall it\u2019s a real step forward.
\n
\n
What you can expect from me on Steemit are posts about my work as an artist, studies of theatre design, observations within my city, on travels and of the human mind and really anything that catches my interest. Some of my hobbies and interests include travelling, exploring my city (London), ...
\n
\n
...cooking (though my boyfriend does most of that), photography, dressing up, mountaineering, rock climbing and other adrenalin enducing sports.
\n
\n
\n
Route of a crazy backpacker journey, I will most definitely write about. With 30 hour train journeys, friends left behind, a flooded festival and much more! \n \nIf you're curious for some travel adventures and cultural posts, FOLLOW ME! \nI promise it'll be worth it ;)

\n\nHello Steemit community! My name is Macey, and I have recently joined Steemit so I can become more involved with the Anarchist Community. I have written a couple articles, but in all the excitement, I forgot to give a proper introduction.\n\n
*This image is from the article in Past Horizons listed below*
\n\nI know this is very different than the articles I usually post on my photography, but I felt compelled to share this so if you'd like to see the original article please go [here](http://www.pasthorizonspr.com/index.php/archives/08/2016/hieroglyphic-texts-reveal-maya-innovation-in-maths-and-astronomy). The article is about Mayan innovation in math and astronomy and is short and worth the read. \n\nThis article is from one of my favorite sites called **Past Horizons - Adventures in Archeology**. Please visit them if you are interested in archeology and human history. They always have something worth reading.\n

+ "body": "# Isolated Rain Storm \nI came upon this strange isolated rain storm over the Great Sand Dunes when I was flying out over the San Luis Valley while filming Zapata Ranch. It was clear skies about the rain clouds and clear all around it... yet it was raining on this stretch of the Sangre de Cristo Range in the Rocky Mountains. \n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/GreatDunesRainStorm1.jpg\n
*Eastern side of the Great Sand Dunes National Park*
\n\nIn this photo you can clearly see the curving edge of the sand dunes boundary where the dunes delineate from the San Luis Valley floor. These are the tallest sand dunes in North America reaching heights of 750 feet (228m).\n\n# Sand From an Ancient Glacial Lake \n\nThe dunes were formed within the last 500,000 years from sand and soil deposits of the Rio Grande and its tributaries as they spread out through the San Luis Valley. Over the ages, the glaciers melting created a vast lake in the San Luis Valley... as this lake and the waters evaporated and drained to form the river, it left behind massive volumes of loose sand. Westerly winds then picked up sand particles from the lake and river flood plain and carried them across the valley floor. As the wind diminished in power before crossing the Sangre de Cristo Range, the sand deposited all along the eastern edge of the valley. As the sand stacked up over time it became what we see today, the Great Sand Dunes National Park. \n\n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/GreatDunesRainStorm2.jpg\n
*Western side of the Great Sand Dunes National Park*
\n\nIn the photo above taken from the same position as the previous photograph, you can see the small Mount Seven Peak and behind it the snow capped 13,200 (4,023m) Cleveland Peak of the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range peeking through the rain shower.\n\n# Whipped By Fierce Winds\nThe wind continues to whip about and shape and reshape the dunes on a daily basis, and continue to increase the volume of sand and size of the dunes. These fierce winds are strong enough to move sand and small rocks from miles away across the valley. While the dunes don't actually change location or vary in size that often, the wind forms parabolic dunes that grow in the sand sheet, the outer area around the dunes, and migrate towards the main dune field, giving a very prominent beveling or warping visual effect, especially notable from up above where I fly.\n\nLocated near Alamosa, Colorado just north of the Nature Conservancy's Zapata Ranch the dunes are a great place to visit. To check out the National Parks Service website on the Great Dunes National Park go [here](https://www.nps.gov/grsa/index.htm). \n\nAnd to check out my previous exciting fly-in trip to the Zapata Ranch to visit Duke Phillips the Flying Cowboy, go [here](https://steemit.com/photography/@skypilot/where-eagles-fly-part-2-zapata-ranch-colorado-by-zedekiah-morse).\n\nIf you're unfamiliar with my work please check out my introductory post [here](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@skypilot/an-introduction-to-where-eagles-fly-the-american-wilderness-expedition-by-zedekiah-morse). \n\nOk thanks, hope you enjoy this and yehaw!",

If many people like them and upvote then they extend an additional 12 hours for a total run of 36 hours. Which mine did. \n\nOnce the post run-time is finished the post was automatically moved out of the 5 categories it was tagged in and placed in my blog page. It is still available for viewing and people can still vote on it, you can find it on my blog page. This is a necessary function of the fairness and democratic operations of this amazing website!!! How awesome is this!?!\n\nThis test was primarily undertaken to review the marketing viability of my project to the public, to see if everyone liked the concept and content. From the responses at the bottom of the post which are permanent, I would think the answer is a resounding yes. \n\nMore to come from this experiment later. Suffice to say I have established a presence and become part of the community on the most powerful cutting edge - platform/community in this new and very exciting cryptocurrency-based content-support market. \n\nI have taken the funds, held some as steem cryptocurrency and transferred the rest onto a cryptocurrency exchange called Poloniex where I am holding steem dollars (SBD) and watching the various cryptocurrencies valuation. The current SBD will increase in value or at any time I can transfer these to bitcoin or any of a number of other currencies.\n\nThis is absolutely cool!!!Thank you to the 217 steemers that upvoted me and even to the 2 that downvoted it...I sort of would like to know why but it really does not matter. \n\nPlease continue to enjoy my blog and I would love to continue building support for my project from the steemit community. I am a now a firm believer and strong advocate for steemit. \n\nMore to follow.\n\nz",

A powerful rain storm had just passed over and the earth was still soaked. The sun was coming back out and these vibrant, rich colors are from the water soaked natural minerals reacting to the bright sunlight. The green areas along the edge are the shallow water of the lake. I am about 2,000 feet above the lake shooting straight down from the airplane.\n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/BuePointBay.jpg\n\n**Image 2: SP VOLCANO** \nThis is a volcano just north of Flagstaff, Arizona simply known as \"SP Volcano\". I have searched high and low and cannot find any history on how it got this name. Certainly the Navajo First Nations called it something but I couldn't find mention of it anywhere. I love that this is a perfect representation of time-stood-still. You can see the how lava flowed down from the volcano, spilling out across the desert, coming to a standstill where it froze in time.\n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/SPVolcano.jpg\n\n**Image 3: CASTLE PEAKS**\nThis is Castle Peaks on the New York Mountains in the Mojave Desert. When you are driving from Los Angeles on highway 15 to Las Vegas, you can see these peaks in the distance across the valley as you come down the last hill towards Primm, Nevada. I took this picture from about 1,000 feet above the ground and what struck me about the formation was the small replica formation that sits just below Castle Peak, mirroring it. It is like a miniature formation of the larger peaks! Very strange. \n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/CastlePeaksNorth.jpg\n\nOk Thanks and hope you enjoy the images.

+ "body": "http://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/ZCarsonPass-1.jpg\n\n# Hello Steemit!\n\nI am a bush-pilot, aerial photographer, and explorer. \n\nOur world is truly beautiful from up here!! And to share how I see it, I am developing an immersive project called **Where Eagles Fly** and would love to introduce myself and the project to the Steemit community. \n\nMy name is **Gerald Zedekiah Morse**, I go by **Zedekiah** or **Z** for short. \n\nOf course here on Steemit I am \"**skypilot**\".\n\nI was only recently introduced to Steemit by a friend. I find the entire construct of a blockchain content distribution platform to be fascinating. Centralized mass distribution of content is still very much under a gatekeeper rule and I would love to bypass this as much as possible. Steemit and other kindred platforms such as lbry.io, ascribe.io and many others all provide valuable tools that will greatly assist in the launch, success, and ongoing control of my project content. There is much to learn, and I look forward to the journey! \n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/howdysteemit.jpg\n*My proof of life - at my hangar on 8/23/16 with the Bluebird*\n\nIf you would like to see an example of my project and the work I do, please click on the image below which will take you to my website which has a Vimeo clip embedded on it. *(Unfortunately at this time Steemit does not support Vimeo and I do not like the compression quality of YouTube.)* I would right-click to open the link in a new tab so you keep Steemit open and don't lose your place. \n\n[](http://geraldzmorse.com/Love_of_Nature.html \"Click Here To Play - a Love of Natue\")\n\n## My Background\nI am a music composer, pianist, recording engineer, and sound designer. I work mostly as a ghost composer and arranger on film soundtracks and trailers. I love many different styles of music and experiment with recording any genre or style the muse provides. If you would care to listen to my music, visit my listing on [SoundCloud/ZMorse](https://soundcloud.com/zmorse/sets), but please realize, it is not for everyone. Lots of different styles are on there, and I change the material all the time since I have a substantial library to choose from.\n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/zinstudio-1.jpg\n*Z in the Studio Mixing Film Music*\n\nIn addition to music production, I also code, develop virtual production technology and work as a disruptive technologist. But mostly I am an emerging filmmaker and content creator. For this project, I do everything possible to insure the content is not unduly influenced by outside sources. For that reason, I do literally everything: pilot, aerial photography (cinematography), post-production editing, music composition, sound design, graphics and motion graphics. \n\nI will work with other people in the development of the various post-production components involved in distributing the project content, and when the project is ready I will get a professional voice over artist for the narration of the various film and episodic chapter components. I'd love to get someone like Sam Elliot or Morgan Freeman!\n\n\n\n## I Love To Fly\nIt feels like I was born a pilot. My father was a test pilot for the B58 Hustler and then an aeronautical engineer for NASA during the Apollo program. Those were heady days. Most folks don\u2019t realize, but back when Silicon Valley was just another small California suburb of San Francisco, and long before the advent of the Internet and rise of technology as we know it today, there were two very advanced scientific centers of technology that few knew about outside of the NASA community: Nassau Bay, Texas, and Huntsville, Alabama. \n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/B58-team.jpg\n*My father and test crew for the B58 Hustler circa 1960*\n\nThese were the Silicon Valleys of the day back in the 1960\u2019s and 70\u2019s. Huntsville, Alabama, was home to Marshal Space Center, and Nassau Bay, Texas, was home to Johnson Space Center. I grew up between those two places because my dad was transferred back and forth every couple of years as the Apollo program progressed. This is something I will write about in another article due to there being a lot of interesting things to discuss from that era. What\u2019s important is the impact exposure to this unique community had on me. I developed a love of science and engineering and a wanderlust for space exploration that has had an ongoing effect on me. I still gaze into the night sky in wonderment at the possibilities of what is out there, of what we do not know. I truly love the unknown.\n\nWhen I was a child, my father took me flying a lot, most of the time we had to sneak out of the house because mom was so scared we would crash. Pops would always make me promise not to tell her when we were out doing aerobatics or flying through the mountains and landing on riverbanks. I\u2019m grateful for the influence he had on my life, and the exposure to the science and engineering of flight that has shaped my life. But also in the type of aircraft and flying I am attracted to. I have never been interested in the fast moving jets or high altitude aircraft, instead prefer flying low and slow above the beautiful back-country, experiencing views I know very few people, if any, ever get to see. So this means I require a particular type of aircraft that can safely operate in these rough, rugged, and primitive locations.\n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/ZFlying-1.jpg\n*Flying My Bluebird In The Wilderness*\n\nI exclusively fly small bush planes. These aircraft do not require a normal paved runway to take off and land on. All I really need is a somewhat flat space a few hundred feet long, the smoother the better, but not necessary. You have to be very careful landing in short places, as you run the risk of being unable to take off from there again. This is why careful planning and attention to weather conditions and surface terrain are paramount! I also fly float planes, even crashed one a long time ago in the wilderness and had to egress the aircraft underwater as it was rapidly sinking! *(Another story for another time)*.\n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/airplanecamp-1.jpg\n*Camping on the Cumberland Plateau, Tennessee*\n\nCamping with an airplane in the wild is an experience of either extreme solitude, when I am out there by myself, or great camaraderie with a very small group of pilots who love the back-country as much as I. We have fly-in's where groups of pilots, young and old, male and female and lots of families all come together to camp out in these hard-to-reach locations.\n\nLanding and taking off on river banks, tops of cliffs, mountain saddle backs or meadows, which are always deep in the wilderness and far from civilization or help, are standard operations. Planning and proper equipment are necessary for survival, and knowledge with continuous training will keep you alive when things get spicy! You can count on the weather to be unpredictable, changing rapidly with little warning when you fly and camp deep in the mountainous hinterlands. Vigilance and a keen sense of awareness must be enacted at all times, especially in the air but also down on the ground, particularly when camping in the wild. \nBecause...*critters!*\n\nAll sorts of wild animals like coyotes, moose, elk, wolves, and bears will come into camp. We all know that they can be a curious lot and after all, this is their home and we are just visitors. Mostly, they are looking for food, especially bears. I am sure you have all seen this photo of a bush-plane that got a bit chewed on? *Never* ever store food in the airplane, not even something as small as a candy bar\u2015especially if it is covered with fabric and not metal, though aluminum skin probably would have suffered badly as well. I reckon that bear was pretty determined and that fabric skin cut like butter with those sharp claws!\n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/BearAttack.jpg\n*Bear damage on an aircraft similar to my Bluebird*\n\n# Culmination of My Life's Work\n\nYears ago, I began taking photos while flying and camping in the back-country. Over time, camera technology exponentially reduced in form-factor while increasing in capabilities. I\u2019m now able to carry more powerful DSLR's with amazing capabilities, and I've gone through the gauntlet with different systems: Nikon, Sony, Canon, Hasselblad, and PhaseOne. Some work much better than others, there is no real magic bullet; however, I love the large-sensor-format-based systems because I desire to reproduce my images as large-scale prints.\n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/zshooting2.jpg\n*Shooting The Grand-Staircase Escalante in Utah*\n\nAs video camera technology matured into smaller form-factor systems, I began experimenting with mounting cameras all around the aircraft, outside and in the cockpit. It has taken quite a while to come up with solutions to mitigate camera vibration. The rolling shutter effect from these systems is always an issue, especially with the bending propeller which I really dislike. But I am using my current configuration as a test bed from which to design and build an aerial platform that will eliminate all of these problems. This new platform will be based on a global-shutter sensor with a custom camera control, mounting, and optical package. \n\nWith the advent of a powerful suite of post-production tools from Adobe Creative Cloud, I am able to leverage my knowledge of virtual production technology into the art of editing and film composition. Because I already do soundtrack work, it was a fairly logical step. With the combination of aerial photography, aerial footage, and music composition and recording, I have the ability to produce my own content. Hence the following project: \n\n# Where Eagles Fly \u2013 The American Wilderness Expedition\n\nFor the past few years, I've been exploring the remaining wilderness areas of North America and filming them from a space just a few hundred to a few thousand feet above ground. The view from this zone is incredible. To accomplish this, I fly into remote off-the-beaten-path locations that are very rarely visited and even more rarely seen from this special zone up in the air... **Where Eagles Fly** :)\n\n\nWhen you think about it, our view of the world is quite limited to either down on the ground or very high up in jet airliners. Both of these views are restricted by physical limitations such as line-of-sight with ground based views and limited fine-detail when viewing from airliners flying along at 35,000 feet or higher. \n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/Mojave-Mtns.jpg\n*Kokoweef Peak in the Mojave Desert*\n\n\nWhere I fly, earth colors interact with weather and atmospheric conditions to create incredible \u201cpaintings\u201d of nature that are stunning to behold. I see things that \u201cMove the Soul.\u201d I wish more people would get into flying like I did as a young man. Flying a drone is very cool, I own a number of them, but nothing compares to being there in person. The experience is worth the effort and the inherent danger. But I do realize that pressures from our socially-connected, Internet-influenced, technically-adapted and risk-averse lives somewhat limit the exposure to flying for most people. *Aha, this too, apparently, is another good subject for a future article*. \n\nMy goal is to chronicle the remaining 47% of the USA and 90% of Canada that are uninhabited and unaffected by the encroaching crush of civilization. By doing this, I hope to increase the lexicon with which we visually describe our planet \u2015 by providing a unique new view that illustrates the untamed beauty and ruggedness of these remarkable places. I also hope that people will become as entranced as I, and will be inspired to continue the difficult effort necessary to protect and preserve these wild places for future generations. \n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/Zion-1.jpg\n*Cougar Mountain in Zion National Park*\n\nFlying a bush-plane while shooting through an open window is not without its difficulties! The type of scenery I seek is dramatic, with weather playing a major role in providing the desired backdrop. For the cleanest, long distance large-area wilderness-landscape images, I require the clearness provided by the cold, dense air molecules of Fall, Winter, and early Spring months, without the aberrations and heat distortion of Summer. \n\n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/zshooting-1.jpg\n*Shooting the San Juan Mountains in Colorado*\n\nAs you can see this is not a large production crew type of project. This is me, all alone, in the wilderness up in the air looking for dramatic weather to juxtapose against dangerous mountains in marginal flight conditions. \n*Nice!!* \n\nTo share this journey, I am creating a highly interactive, immersive virtual journey which will allow you to experience the beauty and wonder of these extraordinary places from this unique perspective. *I will post this in a future article.* \n\n# Wilderness Landscape Photography As Fine Art\n\nThe static imagery can be distributed via a variety of compelling formats, using the Ken Burns effect to make short ambient vignettes. With this, I stream the images to digital frames, provide images as screen savers and mobile device backgrounds, etc. But what I truly love to do is turn them into prints. \n\nObviously, there are many ways to do this, from simple posters, calendars and greeting cards to printed apparel. All of these are , all very appealing. You can print on practically any surface. However, I want the images to really stand out, to grace the locations where they are placed. What is truly spectacular is to create large-format prints on different mediums. For now, there are three mediums I work with:\n\n1. Gicl\u00e9e prints on Canvas\n2. Chrome Metallic Paper Mounted on Acrylic\n3. Aluminum Plate\n\nEach of these mediums has different qualities which influence how the images appear. I have been fortunate to find both an amazing printer (they exclusively print for all the National Geographic Galleries) and a gallery willing to allow me to exhibit my works. To date, I have held two exhibitions in the Wyland Signature Gallery at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Both were a complete blast!\n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/zgallery-1.jpg\n*Part of My Exhibition at the Wyland Gallery in Planet Hollywood Las Vegas*\n\nIt was quite an interesting experience during the show, in that most of the time I felt like a museum docent explaining the story behind images. Folks are drawn to this unique view of nature, and seem to enjoy watching the in-flight footage showing how the images were acquired. \n\nPeople are not used to seeing wilderness landscape images from this perspective it's such an advantageous place to shoot from. It's not as though anyone can simply follow me up the trail and take the same photo! \n\n# That'a Wrap!\n\nOk, my fellow Steemers! That about wraps it up for this post, if you have stayed with me though this entire article, I thank you!! I would LOVE to get feedback from the community, and if there is interest, I will continue writing about this subject and will update the Steemit community as my project develops. \n\nPlease let me know what you think. And *Fly Safe!!*\n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/zlanding1.jpg\n*Landing Bluebird on the Mesa Top at Pearce Ferry, Arizona*",

+ "body": "# Ancient Mayan Design Aesthetic\nIt amazes me that the concept of basic design seems to have been around for many thousands of years. Think about that! Many centuries ago, some very important Mayan Scribe sat at their desktop and designed the layout below, working with what was at the time, leading edge communication technology. \n\nThis form of written communication was a technology that was only understood and utilized by an elite few. To me, this draws an compelling connection to our global ancestral makeup. What is interesting is that you can see a very strong resemblance to current design aesthetic with columns, tables, pictures (info-graphics) with wrap around text. \n\nThe way we visualize layout obviously goes way back in human history. \n
*This image is from the article in Past Horizons listed below*
\n\nI know this is very different than the articles I usually post on my photography, but I felt compelled to share this so if you'd like to see the original article please go [here](http://www.pasthorizonspr.com/index.php/archives/08/2016/hieroglyphic-texts-reveal-maya-innovation-in-maths-and-astronomy). The article is about Mayan innovation in math and astronomy and is short and worth the read. \n\nThis article is from one of my favorite sites called **Past Horizons - Adventures in Archeology**.

+ "body": "# Isolated Rain Storm \nI came upon this strange isolated rain storm over the Great Sand Dunes when I was flying out over the San Luis Valley while filming Zapata Ranch. It was clear skies about the rain clouds and clear all around it... yet it was raining on this stretch of the Sangre de Cristo Range in the Rocky Mountains. \n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/GreatDunesRainStorm1.jpg\n
*Eastern side of the Great Sand Dunes National Park*
\n\nIn this photo you can clearly see the curving edge of the sand dunes boundary where the dunes delineate from the San Luis Valley floor. These are the tallest sand dunes in North America reaching heights of 750 feet (228m).\n\n# Sand From an Ancient Glacial Lake \n\nThe dunes were formed within the last 500,000 years from sand and soil deposits of the Rio Grande and its tributaries as they spread out through the San Luis Valley. Over the ages, the glaciers melting created a vast lake in the San Luis Valley... as this lake and the waters evaporated and drained to form the river, it left behind massive volumes of loose sand. Westerly winds then picked up sand particles from the lake and river flood plain and carried them across the valley floor. As the wind diminished in power before crossing the Sangre de Cristo Range, the sand deposited all along the eastern edge of the valley. As the sand stacked up over time it became what we see today, the Great Sand Dunes National Park. \n\n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/GreatDunesRainStorm2.jpg\n
*Western side of the Great Sand Dunes National Park*
\n\nIn the photo above taken from the same position as the previous photograph, you can see the small Mount Seven Peak and behind it the snow capped 13,200 (4,023m) Cleveland Peak of the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range peeking through the rain shower.\n\n# Whipped By Fierce Winds\nThe wind continues to whip about and shape and reshape the dunes on a daily basis, and continue to increase the volume of sand and size of the dunes. These fierce winds are strong enough to move sand and small rocks from miles away across the valley. While the dunes don't actually change location or vary in size that often, the wind forms parabolic dunes that grow in the sand sheet, the outer area around the dunes, and migrate towards the main dune field, giving a very prominent beveling or warping visual effect, especially notable from up above where I fly.\n\nLocated near Alamosa, Colorado just north of the Nature Conservancy's Zapata Ranch the dunes are a great place to visit. To check out the National Parks Service website on the Great Dunes National Park go [here](https://www.nps.gov/grsa/index.htm). \n\nAnd to check out my previous exciting fly-in trip to the Zapata Ranch to visit Duke Phillips the Flying Cowboy, go [here](https://steemit.com/photography/@skypilot/where-eagles-fly-part-2-zapata-ranch-colorado-by-zedekiah-morse).\n\nIf you're unfamiliar with my work please check out my introductory post [here](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@skypilot/an-introduction-to-where-eagles-fly-the-american-wilderness-expedition-by-zedekiah-morse). \n\nOk thanks, hope you enjoy this and yehaw!",

If many people like them and upvote then they extend an additional 12 hours for a total run of 36 hours. Which mine did. \n\nOnce the post run-time is finished the post was automatically moved out of the 5 categories it was tagged in and placed in my blog page. It is still available for viewing and people can still vote on it, you can find it on my blog page. This is a necessary function of the fairness and democratic operations of this amazing website!!! How awesome is this!?!\n\nThis test was primarily undertaken to review the marketing viability of my project to the public, to see if everyone liked the concept and content. From the responses at the bottom of the post which are permanent, I would think the answer is a resounding yes. \n\nMore to come from this experiment later. Suffice to say I have established a presence and become part of the community on the most powerful cutting edge - platform/community in this new and very exciting cryptocurrency-based content-support market. \n\nI have taken the funds, held some as steem cryptocurrency and transferred the rest onto a cryptocurrency exchange called Poloniex where I am holding steem dollars (SBD) and watching the various cryptocurrencies valuation. The current SBD will increase in value or at any time I can transfer these to bitcoin or any of a number of other currencies.\n\nThis is absolutely cool!!!Thank you to the 217 steemers that upvoted me and even to the 2 that downvoted it...I sort of would like to know why but it really does not matter. \n\nPlease continue to enjoy my blog and I would love to continue building support for my project from the steemit community. I am a now a firm believer and strong advocate for steemit. \n\nMore to follow.\n\nz",

A powerful rain storm had just passed over and the earth was still soaked. The sun was coming back out and these vibrant, rich colors are from the water soaked natural minerals reacting to the bright sunlight. The green areas along the edge are the shallow water of the lake. I am about 2,000 feet above the lake shooting straight down from the airplane.\n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/BuePointBay.jpg\n\n**Image 2: SP VOLCANO** \nThis is a volcano just north of Flagstaff, Arizona simply known as \"SP Volcano\". I have searched high and low and cannot find any history on how it got this name. Certainly the Navajo First Nations called it something but I couldn't find mention of it anywhere. I love that this is a perfect representation of time-stood-still. You can see the how lava flowed down from the volcano, spilling out across the desert, coming to a standstill where it froze in time.\n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/SPVolcano.jpg\n\n**Image 3: CASTLE PEAKS**\nThis is Castle Peaks on the New York Mountains in the Mojave Desert. When you are driving from Los Angeles on highway 15 to Las Vegas, you can see these peaks in the distance across the valley as you come down the last hill towards Primm, Nevada. I took this picture from about 1,000 feet above the ground and what struck me about the formation was the small replica formation that sits just below Castle Peak, mirroring it. It is like a miniature formation of the larger peaks! Very strange. \n\nhttp://geraldzmorse.com/images/steemit/CastlePeaksNorth.jpg\n\nOk Thanks and hope you enjoy the images.

+ "body": "Hi, I'm A.M for now, I'm in my mid-20s and want to share my story with working and facing this thing called life after I watched a lot of YouTubers like Thomas James \"TomSka\" David Brown \u201cboyinaband\u201d and many others who have very openly shared their hardships, they have inspired me to write this\u2026.. Whatever this is.\nI don't consider myself a good writer so bare with me here.\nTo try to keep this post organized and make sense I'll highlight the point I want to talk about and tell the relevant part of my story, you can connect the pieces all together at the end.\n\n**First how am I?** \nI grow up in the countryside I went to normal school when I was yang, because I was the quiet introvert and wasn't from the town I was in I got bullied a lot for most of my time at school, I got through school time knowing just two friends, I was OK with it.\nI genuinely lost interest in school when I was in the ninth grade It seemed more like a memory test than a way of learning so I started looking for ways to make money, \"why waste time learning things irrelevant in real life if I can make money now\" my naive 16 years old self said, don't get me wrong I didn't think I was done with learning I just wanted to learn in my own way, and I didn't stop school, now I'm in part time Business school, so back then I started looking for any way to make money in the last 5 year I tried: working in sales for over 2 years, selling products online, becoming instructor online, worked as SEO & social media consultant, tried starting my own business for 4 times, and for the last year and half I taught myself how to program and how to use Unity game engine and now I'm working on my first game, I can easily and proudly say that I didn't succeed at any of what I did so far, but I've learned a lot every time and I would do it all over again if I had the chance.\nThe process of picking myself up every single freaking time was a living hell and I got desperate many times.\nbecause I saw a lot of people feeling relevant to what David said in his video I want to share how I managed to keep my sanity and my opinion about some point he brought in his video.\n\n\n**Not thinking your work is good enough:**\nIs that really a bad thing? not being satisfied with what you just accomplished is a sign that you always look forward to what you still can do.\nI remember after I published my first course on Udemy I got invited to a hangout and I went for it I thought I'll give myself some slack, while I was there someone shouted out \"this guy here just published his first course let all give him a clap shall we\" for some reason he thought that was a good idea, I don't think I can blame him his intentions were good, I never tried to put a smile as hard as I did that moment I guess I just didn't want to look like a selfish prick, but the truth that I wasn't happy about what I accomplished I was thinking about my bad English poor structure of the course and was I being a sellout for trying to sell my knowledge? halfway of creating the course, I was already thinking about 5 other things I wanted to do next.\nI think there's nothing wrong about not being satisfied with what you finish, I think It's a good sign of an ambitious creator.\nWhen you first make the decision to accomplish something It looks like that godly thing that you think It would feel good to have or do, but when you start turning that big sexy thing to a small to-do list somewhere the appeal you had to that thing will disappear to a certain point, it's not that godly sexy thing you thought about before it's becoming a part of your routine now you know the process of doing that thing It's not a mystery anymore.\nI think that's why they say: \"It's about the journey, not the destination\".\n\n\n**Not taking care of yourself:**\nIt's hard to keep taking care of yourself to others people standards, whether it's about looking ripped putting makeup or buying the latest clothes, instead find your own save point and move forward from there if you feel the need to.\nWhen I was working in seals I had to look my best most of the time's which was exhausting more than the work itself and what made it worst is that some coworkers starting hinting that I need to start working out to look sharper and more confident.\nBecause I was desperate for results from my work I started going to the gym and I got stuck at joining for a month or two then giving up for half a year couple of times, every time I stopped going to the gym I over beat myself saying that I need this for my work, I need more money to do a lot of things, if this work didn't go well what else Am I going to do, eventually I usually took it out on food, I don't even want to start thinking what would have happened to me if my body was able to store fat.\nTrying to take care of yourself to others standards can be very exhausting, I felt down because I was putting so much effort in things I don't really care about to get others approval, I genuinely don't care about having a ripped body, it would look cool sure but I'm not willing to put all that effort into health and looks at least for now, who knows maybe in the future things will be better and I'll be willing to put the effort necessary to have 6 pack abs (wink wink ladies).\nNowadays I eat better than I used to, I still eat some junk food but things are much much better than they were 2 years ago, when I fell down I still go buy and drink a liter of Pepsi but at some point that was my morning coffee, as for my looks I cut my hair very short so I would have one less thing to worry about in the morning, I shave my beard once every couple of weeks I change my cloth every two or three days even if I didn't go out.\nThe point is I take care of myself for my own sack, It was much worse before and I'll always keep working to improve pit by pit.\nIt's about building habits not getting motivated for a couple of weeks then beating yourself for not being able to keep up.\n\n\n**Not mastering one skill:**\nI worked in sales, instructed online, worked as SEO and social media consultant, self taught myself how to program and make games but I don\u2019t think I\u2019m the right person to talk about this, all I\u2019m saying that if you didn\u2019t find that one true call that is right for you, you might be a \u201cmultipotentialite\u201d if you want to know what exactly does this mean I urge you to watch Emilie talk at TedX\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJORi5VO1F8\nAnd check the blog too if you want to know more \nhttp://puttylike.com/\n\n**Everything happens for a reason........ or does it?**\nWhen I was young I was fortunate to know a good old religious man, I don\u2019t know about your perspective about religions but hear me out this isn\u2019t a sermon, I still remember when he tried to teach me that everything happens for a reason I was like \u201cWHAT\u2026\u2026. Oh really, then what is the reason for this and this and that\u201d my question didn\u2019t stop and I wasn\u2019t asking nicely either yet, somehow he was calm about it like some kind of monk, I don\u2019t know if I ruined his day or not but I feel bad for taking the world misery out on him that day, he was just a simple man who was doing what he think is good for others, his intentions were good but unfortunately for him I wasn\u2019t a simple person, I overthink everything and everyone, it\u2019s my blessing and my curse, later I told my family about him and I was surprised that they knew him, apparently everyone knows each other in the countryside, they told me about what he was facing lately personally, financially, and emotionally, I didn\u2019t believe that someone who is facing all that isn\u2019t depressed or angry and even trying to do good for others at least by his believes, I wanted to know more about him he got my interest, I wanted to know if he\u2019s an imposter who is just putting a good face or not because a part of me didn\u2019t believe how can he be that good, I kept asking about him from time to time and sometimes I even went to his \u201clessons\u201d, eventually I went to face him with what I know about him like a detective facing a criminal, the crime of being that simple yet trying to be better than me, It\u2019s pathetic I know It\u2019s just how my brain works sometimes, because I used to take pride of being logical about everything and not believing in anything without questioning it, it bothered me how can he be at peace with his life and I\u2019m not even that he\u2019s facing a lot more than I\u2019m, I faced him and told him everything then asked how can you be this calm about everything that is happening in your life, he had a faint smile and said \u201cI don\u2019t know the reason for everything that is happening right now but everything happens for a reason\u201d I remember holding my fist hard and walking away, maybe I was holding my fist trying not to hit him for not being realistic like me or probably not to beat myself for not being half the man that he was.\nI don\u2019t know about your perspective about religions and I\u2019m not here to tell you about mine but I respect that some religions teach that everything happens for a reason, is it the truth? Does everything happens for a reason? I don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t think that is even the point, It\u2019s silly to even get in an argument about this because no one can be sure about it, it\u2019s simply just a belief, it\u2019s simply teach you to not overthink about the reasons for everything around you, just learn from it if you can and focus on what you can do, it\u2019s kind of funny for me to tell you not to overthink about somethings because I\u2019m sure my 19 year old me would punch me right in the face, but it\u2019s just too draining and exhausting to try to find a reason for every bad thing that have happened to me or to others.\nIn the last three years two of my best friends died, the first one I knew for about nine years and the other one for around five, both killed, both in a way they didn\u2019t deserve to, each time I had to force myself to focus on the 0.0000001% full part of the cup or else I would have lose my sanity.\nI would hate to think what would be my thought process if someone tried to sell me religion like a product, some of them would be like \u201cHi son, you should follow my beliefs because I\u2019m 100% sure that I\u2019m right and everybody else is wrong and if you don\u2019t, well you\u2019re FU**ED\u201d that would have disfigured some of the beliefs that helped me get better.\nControlling your stream of thoughts will be the hardest thing you\u2019ll ever have to do in your life, but if mastered it you\u2019ll become unstoppable.\n\n\nI\u2019ve been getting into the game industry for around year and half now, I don\u2019t have any experiance in the field but I\u2019ve other experiences that many don\u2019t, working in sales made me learn a lot about people's motivations and incentives, I saw a lot of people jump to make purchase while other chicken out last minute, you don\u2019t get to learn about this in a book or an NLP course, you only get to learn this experience by working in sales first hand, working as an SEO and social media consultant made me care about the little details like posting in the right social medias that is more relevant to your audience, more isn\u2019t always better, choosing the right words colors and timing for best result, sometimes modifying your content for a better marketing or not going into a certain niche even if there\u2019s an audience for it because it doesn\u2019t suit your brand, teaching online made me learn that the selling point isn\u2019t the end goal, helping and mentoring students even after they have purchased the course was way more important than I thought, the feedback I got about the course was crucial to take the course to the next level and some student even helped me with some marketing.\nIf you know anything about the mobile game industry you can see how these experiences can be helpful, I can imagine the kind of journey I want to create for the player because I can build the motivations and incentives I want for him, while I\u2019m building the player journey I\u2019ll always keep in mind to put the monetization and ads the right way so all of them can work seamlessly together for a better player experience, and taking care of existing players and community will always be a priority, I wasn\u2019t happy and cheerful when I had to learn these experiences the hard way, I thought I was just failing, I even remember crying myself to sleep every time I decided to pull the plug on something I was working on, but eventually It worked out somehow I think.\n\u201cyou can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life\u201d.\nSteve Jobs\n\n\nI want to share some of the tricks I used that helped my in general to get my life together:\n\n**Music**\nlisten to cheerful music, even if it might not be exactly what you listen to usually but try them for a while, my favorite type or music is Rock and Metal it\u2019s loud and make me feel empowered but sometimes it's not what I need to change my mood so I started listening to electro music mostly Drum & bass, I didn\u2019t like it at first, I\u2019m human I don\u2019t like to change, but forcing myself to listen to it for while change my perspective about it and I started listening to it while I\u2019m working, and it worked.\n\n\n**habits not motivation**\nWe\u2019re slaves to our habits, it\u2019s exhausting to do something that\u2019s you\u2019re not used to for quite a while, so invest your effort and time to build your habits pit by pit no matter how slow it will take, measure your progress and celebrate your success no matter how small they\u2019re, it\u2019ll make all the difference in your life in the long term.\n\n**work in a group**\nNo matter how introverted person you think you\u2019re, you\u2019re still human at the end of day and you need your dose of human interaction so try to work in group if you can, if you don\u2019t have that luxury (like me) work out side from time to time, library, coffee shop, parks all works, changing your surrounding and environment can change your mood, you can try changing your room\\office decor every couple of weeks too.\n\n**warm-blooded pet**\nGet a warm-blooded pet it helps, I tried fish and turtles but didn\u2019t really work for me they just stared at me with their empty eyes, I have a cat for two year now and It helped, maybe it\u2019s having the sense of that there is a creature that needs you to look after him, it\u2019s helped me not to feel completely unworthy in some bad day.\n\n\nFinally I hope this help you in any way it can, and hope it will find its way to all who needs it.",

It explores the state of AI development, overviews its challenges and dangers, features work by the most significant scientists, and describes the main predictions of possible AI outcomes. This project is an adaptation and major shortening of the two\u2013part essay AI Revolution by Tim Urban of Wait But Why. I shortened it by a factor of 3, recreated all images, and tweaked it a bit. Read more on why/how I wrote it here.\nIntroduction\nAssuming that human scientific activity continues without major disruptions, artificial intelligence may become either the most positive transformation of our history or, as many fear, our most dangerous invention of all. AI research is on a steady path to develop a computer that has cognitive abilities equal to the human brain, most likely within three decades (timeline in chapter 5). From what most AI scientists predict, this invention may enable very rapid improvements (called fast take-off), toward something much more powerful\u200a\u2014\u200aArtificial Super Intelligence\u200a\u2014\u200aan entity smarter than all of humanity combined (more on ASI in chapter 3). We are not talking about some imaginary future. The first level of AI development is gradually appearing in the technology we use everyday (newest AI advancements in chapter 2). With every coming year these advancements will accelerate and the technology will become more complex, addictive, and ubiquitous. We will continue to outsource more and more kinds of mental work to computers, disrupting every part of our reality: the way we organize ourselves and our work, form communities, and experience the world.\nExponential Growth\nThe Guiding Principle Behind Technological Progress\nTo more intuitively grasp the guiding principles of AI revolution, let\u2019s first step away from scientific research. Let me invite you to take part in a story. Imagine that you\u2019ve received a time machine and been given a quest to bring somebody from the past. The goal is to shock them by showing them the technological and cultural advancements of our time, to such a degree that this person would perform SAFD (Spinning Around From Disbelief).\n\nSo you wonder which era should you time-travel to, and decide to hop back around 200 years. You get to the early 1800s, retrieve a guy and bring him back to 2016. You \u201c\u2026walk him around and watch him react to everything. It\u2019s impossible for us to understand what it would be like for him to see shiny capsules racing by on a highway, talk to people who had been on the other side of the ocean earlier in the day, watch sports that were being played 1,000 miles away, hear a musical performance that happened 50 years ago, and play with \u2026[a] magical wizard rectangle that he could use to capture a real-life image or record a living moment, generate a map with a paranormal moving blue dot that shows him where he is, look at someone\u2019s face and chat with them even though they\u2019re on the other side of the country, and worlds of other inconceivable sorcery.\u201d\u00b9 It doesn\u2019t take much. After two minutes he is SAFDing.\nNow, both of you want to try the same thing, see somebody Spinning Around From Disbelief, but in your new friend\u2019s era. Since 200 years worked, you jump back to the 1600s and bring a guy to the 1800s. He\u2019s certainly genuinely interested in what he sees. However, you feel it with confidence\u200a\u2014\u200aSAFD will never happen to him. You feel that you need to jump back again, but somewhere radically further. You settle on rewinding the clock 15,000 years, to the times \u201c\u2026before the First Agricultural Revolution gave rise to the first cities and the concept of civilisations.\u201d\u00b2 You bring someone from the hunter-gatherer world and show him \u201c\u2026the vast human empires of 1750 with their towering churches, their ocean-crossing ships, their concept of being \u201cinside,\u201d and their enormous mountain of collective, accumulated human knowledge and discovery\u201d\u00b3\u200a\u2014\u200ain forms of books. It doesn\u2019t take much. He is SAFDing in the first two minutes.\nNow there are three of you, enormously excited to do it again. You know that it doesn\u2019t make sense to go back another 15,000, 30,000 or 45,000 years. You have to jump back, again, radically further. So you pick up a guy from 100,000 years ago and you you walk with him into large tribes with organized, sophisticated social hierarchies. He encounters a variety of hunting weapons, sophisticated tools, sees fire and for the first time experiences language in the form of signs and sounds. You get the idea, it has to be immensely mind-blowing. He is SAFDing after two minutes.\nSo what happened? Why did the last guy had to hop \u2192 100,000 years, the next one \u2192 15,000 years, and the guy who was hopping to our times only \u2192 200 years?\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*Wbd0td3DqD3pJo7_YHjkbQ.gif\n\n\u201cThis happens because more advanced societies have the ability to progress at a faster rate than less advanced societies\u200a\u2014\u200abecause they\u2019re more advanced. [1800s] humanity knew more and had better technology\u2026\u201d\u2074, so it\u2019s no wonder they could make further advancements than humanity from 15,000 years ago. The time to achieve SAFD shrank from ~100,000 years to ~200 years and if we look into the future it will rapidly shrink even further. Ray Kurzweil, AI expert and scientist, predicts that a \u201c\u202620th century\u2019s worth of progress happened between 2000 and 2014 and that another 20th century\u2019s worth of progress will happen by 2021, in only seven years\u2075\u2026A couple decades later, he believes a 20th century\u2019s worth of progress will happen multiple times in the same year, and even later, in less than one month\u2076\u2026Kurzweil believes that the 21st century will achieve 1,000 times the progress of the 20th century.\u201d\u2077\n\u201cLogic also suggests that if the most advanced species on a planet keeps making larger and larger leaps forward at an ever-faster rate, at some point, they\u2019ll make a leap so great that it completely alters life as they know it and the perception they have of what it means to be a human. Kind of like how evolution kept making great leaps toward intelligence until finally it made such a large leap to the human being that it completely altered what it meant for any creature to live on planet Earth. And if you spend some time reading about what\u2019s going on today in science and technology, you start to see a lot of signs quietly hinting that life as we currently know it cannot withstand the leap that\u2019s coming next.\u201d\u2078\nThe Road to Artificial General Intelligence\nBuilding a Computer as Smart as Humans\nArtificial Intelligence, or AI, is a broad term for the advancement of intelligence in computers. Despite varied opinions on this topic, most experts agree that there are three categories, or calibers, of AI development. They are:\nANI: Artificial Narrow Intelligence\n1st intelligence caliber. \u201cAI that specializes in one area. There\u2019s AI that can beat the world chess champion in chess, but that\u2019s the only thing it does.\u201d\u2079\nAGI: Artificial General Intelligence\n2nd intelligence caliber. AI that reaches and then passes the intelligence level of a human, meaning it has the ability to \u201creason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\nASI: Artificial Super Intelligence\n3rd intelligence caliber. AI that achieves a level of intelligence smarter than all of humanity combined\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cranging from just a little smarter \u2026 to one trillion times smarter.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*5AkzXZJoVXRrGNSOO8ZojQ.gif\n\nWhere are we currently?\n\u201cAs of now, humans have conquered the lowest caliber of AI\u200a\u2014\u200aANI\u200a\u2014\u200ain many ways, and it\u2019s everywhere:\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\n\u201cCars are full of ANI systems, from the computer that figures out when the anti-lock brakes kick in, to the computer that tunes the parameters of the fuel injection systems.\u201d\u00b9\u00b3\n\u201cGoogle search is one large ANI brain with incredibly sophisticated methods for ranking pages and figuring out what to show you in particular. Same goes for Facebook\u2019s Newsfeed.\u201d\u00b9\u2074\nEmail spam filters \u201cstart off loaded with intelligence about how to figure out what\u2019s spam and what\u2019s not, and then it learns and tailors its intelligence to your particular preferences.\u201d\u00b9\u2075\nPassenger planes are flown almost entirely by ANI, without the help of humans.\n\u201cGoogle\u2019s self-driving car, which is being tested now, will contain robust ANI systems that allow it to perceive and react to the world around it.\u201d\u00b9\u2076\n\u201cYour phone is a little ANI factory \u2026 you navigate using your map app, receive tailored music recommendations from Pandora, check tomorrow\u2019s weather, talk to Siri.\u201d\u00b9\u2077\n\u201cThe world\u2019s best Checkers, Chess, Scrabble, Backgammon, and Othello players are now all ANI systems.\u201d\u00b9\u2078\n\u201cSophisticated ANI systems are widely used in sectors and industries like military, manufacturing, and finance (algorithmic high-frequency AI traders account for more than half of equity shares traded on US markets\u00b9\u2079).\u201d\u00b2\u2070\n\u201cANI systems as they are now aren\u2019t especially scary. At worst, a glitchy or badly-programed ANI can cause an isolated catastrophe like\u201d\u00b2\u00b9 a plane crash, a nuclear power plant malfunction, or \u201ca financial markets disaster (like the 2010 Flash Crash when an ANI program reacted the wrong way to an unexpected situation and caused the stock market to briefly plummet, taking $1 trillion of market value with it, only part of which was recovered when the mistake was corrected) \u2026 But while ANI doesn\u2019t have the capability to cause an existential threat, we should see this increasingly large and complex ecosystem of relatively-harmless ANI as a precursor of the world-altering hurricane that\u2019s on the way. Each new ANI innovation quietly adds another brick onto the road to AGI and ASI.\u201d\u00b2\u00b2\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*Ia8wUuZPxpUNzvUjNRsxpA.gif\n\nWhat\u2019s Next? Challenges Behind Reaching AGI\n\u201cNothing will make you appreciate human intelligence like learning about how unbelievably challenging it is to try to create a computer as smart as we are \u2026 Build a computer that can multiply ten-digit numbers in a split second\u200a\u2014\u200aincredibly easy. Build one that can look at a dog and answer whether it\u2019s a dog or a cat\u200a\u2014\u200aspectacularly difficult. Make AI that can beat any human in chess? Done. Make one that can read a paragraph from a six-year-old\u2019s picture book and not just recognise the words but understand the meaning of them? Google is currently spending billions of dollars trying to do it.\u201d\u00b2\u00b3\nWhy are \u201chard things\u200a\u2014\u200alike calculus, financial market strategy, and language translation \u2026 mind-numbingly easy for a computer, while easy things\u200a\u2014\u200alike vision, motion, movement, and perception\u200a\u2014\u200aare insanely hard for it\u201d\u00b2\u2074?\n\u201cThings that seem easy to us are actually unbelievably complicated. They only seem easy because those skills have been optimized in us (and most animals) by hundreds of million years of animal evolution. When you reach your hand up toward an object, the muscles, tendons, and bones in your shoulder, elbow, and wrist instantly perform a long series of physics operations, in conjunction with your eyes, to allow you to move your hand in a straight line through three dimensions \u2026 On the other hand, multiplying big numbers or playing chess are new activities for biological creatures and we haven\u2019t had any time to evolve a proficiency at them, so a computer doesn\u2019t need to work too hard to beat us.\u201d\u00b2\u2075\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/0*E-qdF22nxvOrVPxP.\n\nWhen you look at picture A, \u201cyou and a computer both can figure out that it\u2019s a rectangle with two distinct shades, alternating. Tied so far.\u201d\u00b2\u2076\nPicture B. \u201cYou have no problem giving a full description of the various opaque and translucent cylinders, slats, and 3-D corners, but the computer would fail miserably. It would describe what it sees\u200a\u2014\u200aa variety of two-dimensional shapes in several different shades\u200a\u2014\u200awhich is actually what\u2019s there.\u201d\u00b2\u2077 \u201cYour brain is doing a ton of fancy shit to interpret the implied depth, shade-mixing, and room lighting the picture is trying to portray.\u201d\u00b2\u2078\nLooking at picture C, \u201ca computer sees a two-dimensional white, black, and gray collage, while you easily see what it really is\u201d\u00b2\u2079\u200a\u2014\u200aa photo of a girl and a dog standing on a rocky shore.\n\u201cAnd everything we just mentioned is still only taking in visual information and processing it. To be human-level intelligent, a computer would have to understand things like the difference between subtle facial expressions, the distinction between being pleased, relieved and content\u201d\u00b3\u2070.\nHow will computers reach even higher abilities like complex reasoning, interpreting data, and associating ideas from separate fields (domain-general knowledge)?\n\u201cBuilding skyscrapers, putting humans in space, figuring out the details of how the Big Bang went down\u200a\u2014\u200aall far easier than understanding our own brain or how to make something as cool as it. As of now, the human brain is the most complex object in the known universe.\u201d\u00b3\u00b9\nBuilding Hardware\nIf an artificial intelligence is going to be as intelligent as the human brain, one crucial thing has to happen\u200a\u2014\u200athe AI \u201cneeds to equal the brain\u2019s raw computing capacity. One way to express this capacity is in the total calculations per second the brain could manage.\u201d\u00b3\u00b2\n\nThe challenge is that currently only a few of the brain\u2019s regions are precisely measured. However, Ray Kurzweil, has developed a method for estimating the total cps of the human brain. He arrived at this estimate by taking the cps from one brain region and multiplying it proportionally to the weight of that region, compared to the weight of the whole brain. \u201cHe did this a bunch of times with various professional estimates of different regions, and the total always arrived in the same ballpark\u200a\u2014\u200aaround 10\u00b9\u2076, or 10 quadrillion cps.\u201d\u00b3\u00b3\n\u201cCurrently, the world\u2019s fastest supercomputer, China\u2019s Tianhe-2, has actually beaten that number, clocking in at about 34 quadrillion cps.\u201d\u00b3\u2074 But Tianhe-2 is also monstrous, \u201ctaking up 720 square meters of space, using 24 megawatts of power (the brain runs on just 20 watts), and costing $390 million to build. Not especially applicable to wide usage, or even most commercial or industrial usage yet.\u201d\u00b3\u2075\n\u201cKurzweil suggests that we think about the state of computers by looking at how many cps you can buy for $1,000. When that number reaches human-level\u200a\u2014\u200a10 quadrillion cps\u200a\u2014\u200athen that\u2019ll mean AGI could become a very real part of life.\u201d\u00b3\u2076\nCurrently we\u2019re only at about 10\u00b9\u2070 (10 trillion) cps per $1,000. However, historically reliable Moore\u2019s Law states \u201cthat the world\u2019s maximum computing power doubles approximately every two years, meaning computer hardware advancement, like general human advancement through history, grows exponentially\u00b3\u2077 \u2026 right on pace with this graph\u2019s predicted trajectory:\u201d\u00b3\u2078\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*4qcqwbsWjvWh-BWPnAsp6g.gif\n\nThis dynamic \u201cputs us right on pace to get to an affordable computer by 2025 that rivals the power of the brain \u2026 But raw computational power alone doesn\u2019t make a computer generally intelligent\u200a\u2014\u200athe next question is, how do we bring human-level intelligence to all that power?\u201d\u00b3\u2079\nBuilding Software\nThe hardest part of creating AGI is learning how to develop its software. \u201cThe truth is, no one really knows how to make it smart\u200a\u2014\u200awe\u2019re still debating how to make a computer human-level intelligent and capable of knowing what a dog and a weird-written B and a mediocre movie is.\u201d\u2074\u2070 But there are a couple of strategies. These are the three most common:\nCopy how the brain works.\nThe most straight-forward idea is to plagiarize the brain, and build the computer\u2019s architecture with close resemblance to how a brain is structured. One example \u201cis the artificial neural network. It starts out as a network of transistor \u2018neurons,\u2019 connected to each other with inputs and outputs, and it knows nothing\u200a\u2014\u200alike an infant brain. The way it \u2018learns\u2019 is it tries to do a task, say handwriting recognition, and at first, its neural firings and subsequent guesses at deciphering each letter will be completely random. But when it\u2019s told it got something right, the transistor connections in the firing pathways that happened to create that answer are strengthened; when it\u2019s told it was wrong, those pathways\u2019 connections are weakened. After a lot of this trial and feedback, the network has, by itself, formed smart neural pathways and the machine has become optimized for the task.\u201d\u2074\u00b9\nThe second, more radical approach to plagiarism is whole brain emulation. Scientists take a real brain, cut it into a large number of tiny slices to look at the neural connections and replicate them in a computer as software. If that method is ever successful, we will have \u201ca computer officially capable of everything the brain is capable of\u200a\u2014\u200ait would just need to learn and gather information \u2026 How far are we from achieving whole brain emulation? Well so far, we\u2019ve just recently been able to emulate a 1mm-long flatworm brain, which consists of just 302 total neurons.\u201d\u2074\u00b2 To put this into perspective, the human brain consists of 86 billion neurons linked by trillions of synapses.\n2. Introduce evolution to computers.\n\u201cThe fact is, even if we can emulate a brain, that might be like trying to build an airplane by copying a bird\u2019s wing-flapping motions\u200a\u2014\u200aoften, machines are best designed using a fresh, machine-oriented approach, not by mimicking biology exactly.\u201d\u2074\u00b3 If the brain is just too complex for us to digitally replicate, we could try to emulate evolution instead. This uses a process called genetic algorithms. \u201cA group of computers would try to do tasks, and the most successful ones would be bred with each other by having half of each of their programming merged together into a new computer. The less successful ones would be eliminated.\u201d\u2074\u2074 Speed and a goal-oriented approach are the advantages that artificial evolution has over biological evolution. \u201cOver many, many iterations, this natural selection process would produce better and better computers. The challenge would be creating an automated evaluation and breeding cycle so this evolution process could run on its own.\u201d\u2074\u2075\n3. \u201cMake this whole thing the computer\u2019s problem, not ours.\u201d\u2074\u2076\nThe last concept is the simplest, but probably the scariest of them all. \u201cWe\u2019d build a computer whose two major skills would be doing research on AI and coding changes into itself\u200a\u2014\u200aallowing it to not only learn but to improve its own architecture. We\u2019d teach computers to be computer scientists so they could bootstrap their own development.\u201d\u2074\u2077 This is the likeliest way to get AGI soon that we know of.\nAll these software advances may seem slow or a little bit intangible, but as it is with the sciences, one minor innovation can suddenly accelerate the pace of developments. Kind of like the aftermath of the Copernican revolution\u200a\u2014\u200athe discovery that suddenly made all the complicated mathematics of the planets\u2019 trajectories much easier to calculate, which enabled a multitude of other innovations. Also, the \u201cexponential growth is intense and what seems like a snail\u2019s pace of advancement can quickly race upwards.\u201d\u2074\u2078\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/1*BHwAlKJFYwKYEzZlitNTvQ.gif\n\nThe Road to Artificial Super Intelligence\nAn Entity Smarter than all of Humanity Combined\nIt\u2019s very real that at some point we will achieve AGI: software that has achieved human-level, or beyond human-level, intelligence. Does this mean that at that very moment the computers will be equally capable as us? Actually, not at all\u200a\u2014\u200acomputers will be way more efficient. Because of the fact that they are electronic, they will have following advantages:\nSpeed. \u201cThe brain\u2019s neurons max out at around 200 Hz, while today\u2019s microprocessors \u2026 run at 2 GHz, or 10 million times faster.\u201d\u2075\u00b9\nMemory. Forgetting or confusing things is much harder in an artificial world. Computers can memorize more things in one second than a human can in ten years. A computer\u2019s memory is also more precise and has a much greater storage capacity.\nPerformance. \u201cComputer transistors are more accurate than biological neurons, and they\u2019re less likely to deteriorate (and can be repaired or replaced if they do). Human brains also get fatigued easily, while computers can run nonstop, at peak performance, 24/7.\u201d\u2075\u00b2\nCollective capability. Group work is ridiculously challenging because of time-consuming communication and complex social hierarchies. The bigger the group gets, the slower the output of each person becomes. AI, on the other hand, isn\u2019t biologically constrained to one body, won\u2019t have human cooperation problems, and is able to synchronize and update its own operating system.\nIntelligence Explosion\nWe need to realize that AI \u201cwouldn\u2019t see \u2018human-level intelligence\u2019 as some important milestone\u200a\u2014\u200ait\u2019s only a relevant marker from our point of view\u200a\u2014\u200aand wouldn\u2019t have any reason to \u2018stop\u2019 at our level. And given the advantages over us that even human intelligence-equivalent AGI would have, it\u2019s pretty obvious that it would only hit human intelligence for a brief instant before racing onwards to the realm of superior-to-human intelligence.\u201d\u2075\u00b3\nThe true distinction between humans and ASI wouldn\u2019t be its advantage in intelligence speed, but \u201cin intelligence quality\u200a\u2014\u200awhich is something completely different. What makes humans so much more intellectually capable than chimps isn\u2019t a difference in thinking speed\u200a\u2014\u200ait\u2019s that human brains contain a number of sophisticated cognitive modules that enable things like complex linguistic representations or longterm planning or abstract reasoning, that chimps\u2019 brains do not have. Speeding up a chimp\u2019s brain by thousands of times wouldn\u2019t bring him to our level\u200a\u2014\u200aeven with a decade\u2019s time of learning, he wouldn\u2019t be able to figure out how to \u2026 \u201d\u2075\u2074 assemble a semi-complicated Lego model by looking at its manual\u200a\u2014\u200asomething a young human could achieve in a few minutes. \u201cThere are worlds of human cognitive function a chimp will simply never be capable of, no matter how much time he spends trying.\u201d\u2075\u2075\n\u201cAnd in the scheme of the biological intelligence range \u2026 the chimp-to-human quality intelligence gap is tiny.\u201d\u2075\u2076\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*vnVWATTAMCwfnJu_iZn2RQ.jpeg\n\nIn order to render how big a deal it would be to exist with something that has a higher quality of intelligence than us, we need to imagine AI on the intelligence staircase two steps above us\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cits increased cognitive ability over us would be as vast as the chimp\u2013human gap \u2026 And like the chimp\u2019s incapacity to ever absorb \u2026\u201d\u2075\u2077 what kind of magic happens in the mechanism of a doorknob\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cwe will never be able to even comprehend the things \u2026 [a machine of that intelligence] can do, even if the machine tried to explain them to us \u2026 And that\u2019s only two steps above us.\u201d\u2075\u2078\n\u201cA machine on the second-to-highest step on that staircase would be to us as we are to ants.\u201d\u2075\u2079 \u201cSuperintelligence of that magnitude is not something we can remotely grasp, any more than a bumblebee can wrap its head around Keynesian Economics. In our world, smart means a 130 IQ and stupid means an 85 IQ\u200a\u2014\u200awe don\u2019t have a word for an IQ of 12,952.\u201d\u2076\u2070\n\u201cBut the kind of superintelligence we\u2019re talking about today is something far beyond anything on this staircase. In an intelligence explosion\u200a\u2014\u200awhere the smarter a machine gets, the quicker it\u2019s able to increase its own intelligence\u200a\u2014\u200aa machine might take years to rise from \u2026 \u201d\u2076\u00b9 the intelligence of an ant to the intelligence of the average human, but it might take only another 40 days to become Einstein-smart. When that happens, \u201cit works to improve its intelligence, with an Einstein-level intellect, it has an easier time and can make bigger leaps. These leaps will make it much smarter than any human, allowing it to make even bigger leaps.\u201d\u2076\u00b2\nFrom then on, following the rule of exponential advancements and utilizing the speed and efficiency of electrical circuits, it may perhaps take only 20 minutes to jump another step, \u201cand by the time it\u2019s ten steps above us, it might be jumping up in four-step leaps every second that goes by. Which is why we need to realize that it\u2019s distinctly possible that very shortly after the big news story about the first machine reaching human-level AGI, we might be facing the reality of coexisting on the Earth with something that\u2019s here on the staircase (or maybe a million times higher):\u201d\u2076\u00b3\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*LdJxmWCjSdweUKvb.\n\n\u201cAnd since we just established that it\u2019s a hopeless activity to try to understand the power of a machine only two steps above us, let\u2019s very concretely state once and for all that there is no way to know what ASI will do or what the consequences will be for us. Anyone who pretends otherwise doesn\u2019t understand what superintelligence means.\u201d\u2076\u2074\n\u201cIf our meager brains were able to invent wifi, then something 100 or 1,000 or 1 billion times smarter than we are should have no problem controlling the positioning of each and every atom in the world in any way it likes, at any time\u200a\u2014\u200aeverything we consider magic, every power we imagine a supreme God to have will be as mundane an activity for the ASI as flipping on a light switch is for us.\u201d\u2076\u2075\n\u201cAs far as we\u2019re concerned, if an ASI comes into being, there is now an omnipotent God on Earth\u200a\u2014\u200aand the all-important question for us is: Will it be a good god?\u201d\u2076\u2076\nLet\u2019s start from the brighter side of the story.\nHow Can ASI Change our World?\nSpeculations on Two Revolutionary Technologies\nNanotechnology\nNanotechnology is an idea that comes up \u201cin almost everything you read about the future of AI.\u201d\u2076\u2077 It\u2019s the technology that works at the nano scale\u200a\u2014\u200afrom 1 to 100 nanometers. \u201cA nanometer is a millionth of a millimeter. 1 nm\u2013100 nm range encompasses viruses (100 nm accross), DNA (10 nm wide), and things as small as molecules like hemoglobin (5 nm) and medium molecules like glucose (1 nm). If/when we conquer nanotechnology, the next step will be the ability to manipulate individual atoms, which are only one order of magnitude smaller (~.1 nm).\u201d\u2076\u2078\nTo put this into perspective, imagine a very tall human standing on the earth, with a head that reaches the International Space Station (431 km/268 mi high). The giant is reaching down with his hand (30 km/19 mi across) to build \u201cobjects using materials between the size of a grain of sand [.25 mm] and an eyeball [2.5 cm].\u201d\u2076\u2079\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/1*e9Ut3QT2F3tNh4h5U4rR8A.jpeg\n\n\u201cOnce we get nanotechnology down, we can use it to make tech devices, clothing, food, a variety of bio-related products\u200a\u2014\u200aartificial blood cells, tiny virus or cancer-cell destroyers, muscle tissue, etc.\u200a\u2014\u200aanything really. And in a world that uses nanotechnology, the cost of a material is no longer tied to its scarcity or the difficulty of its manufacturing process, but instead determined by how complicated its atomic structure is. In a nanotech world, a diamond might be cheaper than a pencil eraser.\u201d\u2077\u2070\nOne of the proposed methods of nanotech assembly is to make \u201cone that could self-replicate, and then let the reproduction process turn that one into two, those two then turn into four, four into eight, and in about a day, there\u2019d be a few trillion of them ready to go.\u201d\u2077\u00b9\nBut what if this process goes wrong or terrorists manage to get ahold of the technology? Let\u2019s imagine a scenario where nanobots \u201cwould be designed to consume any carbon-based material in order to feed the replication process, and unpleasantly, all life is carbon-based. The Earth\u2019s biomass contains about 1\u2070\u2074\u2075 carbon atoms. A nanobot would consist of about 1\u2070\u2076 carbon atoms, so it would take 1\u2070\u00b3\u2079 nanobots to consume all life on Earth, which would happen in 130 replications. \u2026 Scientists think a nanobot could replicate in about 100 seconds, meaning this simple mistake would inconveniently end all life on Earth in 3.5 hours.\u201d\u2077\u00b2\nWe are not yet capable of harnessing nanotechnology\u200a\u2014\u200afor good or for bad. \u201cAnd it\u2019s not clear if we\u2019re underestimating, or overestimating, how hard it will be to get there. But we don\u2019t seem to be that far away. Kurzweil predicts that we\u2019ll get there by the 2020s.\u2077\u00b3Governments know that nanotech could be an Earth-shaking development \u2026 The US, the EU, and Japan\u2077\u2074 have invested over a combined $5 billion so far\u201d\u2077\u2075\nImmortality\n\u201cBecause everyone has always died, we live under the assumption \u2026 that death is inevitable. We think of aging like time\u200a\u2014\u200aboth keep moving and there\u2019s nothing you can do to stop it.\u201d\u2077\u2076 For centuries, poets and philosophers have wondered if consciousness doesn\u2019t have to go the way of the body. W.B. Yeats describes us as \u201ca soul fastened to a dying animal.\u201d\u2077\u2077 Richard Feynman, Nobel awarded physicists, views death from a purely scientific standpoint:\n\u201cIt is one of the most remarkable things that in all of the biological sciences there is no clue as to the necessity of death. If you say we want to make perpetual motion, we have discovered enough laws as we studied physics to see that it is either absolutely impossible or else the laws are wrong. But there is nothing in biology yet found that indicates the inevitability of death. This suggests to me that it is not at all inevitable, and that it is only a matter of time before the biologists discover what it is that is causing us the trouble and that that terrible universal disease or temporariness of the human\u2019s body will be cured.\u201d\u2077\u2078\nTheory of great species attractors\nWhen we look at the history of biological life on earth, so far 99.9% of species have gone extinct. Nick Bostrom, Oxford professor and AI specialist, \u201ccalls extinction an attractor state\u200a\u2014\u200aa place species are \u2026 falling into and from which no species ever returns.\u201d\u2077\u2079\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/0*o-MXeAYfUtWnOJKC.\n\n\u201cAnd while most AI scientists \u2026 acknowledge that ASI would have the ability to send humans to extinction, many also believe that if used beneficially, ASI\u2019s abilities could be used to bring individual humans, and the species as a whole, to a second attractor state\u200a\u2014\u200aspecies immortality.\u201d\u2078\u2070\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/0*aYeNOSBxp4gieGwp.\n\n\u201cEvolution had no good reason to extend our lifespans any longer than they are now \u2026 From an evolutionary point of view, the whole human species can thrive with a 30+ year lifespan\u201d for each single human. It\u2019s long enough to reproduce and raise children \u2026 so there\u2019s no reason for mutations toward unusually long life being favored in the natural selection process.\u201d\u2078\u00b9Though, \u201cif you perfectly repaired or replaced a car\u2019s parts whenever one of them began to wear down, the car would run forever. The human body isn\u2019t any different\u200a\u2014\u200ajust far more complex \u2026 This seems absurd\u200a\u2014\u200abut the body is just a bunch of atoms\u2026\u201d\u2078\u00b2 making up organically programmed DNA, which it is theoretically possible to manipulate. And something as powerful as ASI could help us master genetic engineering.\nRay Kurzweil believes that \u201cartificial materials will be integrated into the body more and more \u2026 Organs could be replaced by super-advanced machine versions that would run forever and never fail.\u201d\u2078\u00b3 Red blood cells could be perfected by \u201cred blood cell nanobots, who could power their own movement, eliminating the need for a heart at all \u2026 Nanotech theorist Robert A. Freitas has already designed blood cell replacements that, if one day implemented in the body, would allow a human to sprint for 15 minutes without taking a breath \u2026 [Kurzweil] even gets to the brain and believes we\u2019ll enhance our mental activities to the point where humans will be able to think billions of times faster\u201d\u2078\u2074 by integrating electrical components and being able to access online data.\n\u201cEventually, Kurzweil believes humans will reach a point when they\u2019re entirely artificial, a time when we\u2019ll look back at biological material and think how unbelievably primitive primitive it was that humans were ever made of that\u201d\u2078\u2075and that humans aged, suffered from cancer, allowed random factors like microbes, diseases, accidents to harm us or make us disappear.\u201d\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*NcWWmd677RVWQRpLsz5X9g.jpeg\n\nWhen Will The First Machine Become Superintelligent?\nPredictions from Top AI Experts\n\u201cHow long until the first machine reaches superintelligence? Not shockingly, opinions vary wildly, and this is a heated debate among scientists and thinkers. Many, like professor Vernor Vinge, scientist Ben Goertzel, Sun Microsystems co-founder Bill Joy, or, most famously, inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil, agree with machine learning expert Jeremy Howard when he puts up this graph during a TED Talk\n\n\u201cThose people subscribe to the belief that this is happening soon\u200a\u2014\u200athat exponential growth is at work and machine learning, though only slowly creeping up on us now, will blow right past us within the next few decades.\n\u201cOthers, like Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, research psychologist Gary Marcus, NYU computer scientist Ernest Davis, and tech entrepreneur Mitch Kapor, believe that thinkers like Kurzweil are vastly underestimating the magnitude of the challenge [and the transition will actually take much more time] \u2026\n\u201cThe Kurzweil camp would counter that the only underestimating that\u2019s happening is the underappreciation of exponential growth, and they\u2019d compare the doubters to those who looked at the slow-growing seedling of the internet in 1985 and argued that there was no way it would amount to anything impactful in the near future.\n\u201cThe doubters might argue back that the progress needed to make advancements in intelligence also grows exponentially harder with each subsequent step, which will cancel out the typical exponential nature of technological progress. And so on.\n\u201cA third camp, which includes Nick Bostrom, believes neither group has any ground to feel certain about the timeline and acknowledges both A) that this could absolutely happen in the near future and B) that there\u2019s no guarantee about that; it could also take a much longer time.\n\u201cStill others, like philosopher Hubert Dreyfus, believe all three of these groups are naive for believing that there is potential of ASI, arguing that it\u2019s more likely that it won\u2019t actually ever be achieved.\n\u201cSo what do you get when you put all of these opinions together?\u201d\u2078\u2076\nTimeline for Artificial General Intelligence\n\u201cIn 2013, Vincent C. M\u00fcller and Nick Bostrom conducted a survey that asked hundreds of AI experts \u2026 the following:\u201d\u2078\u2077\n\u201cFor the purposes of this question, assume that human scientific activity continues without major negative disruption. By what year would you see a (10% / 50% / 90%) probability for such Human-Level Machine Intelligence [or what we call AGI] to exist?\u201d\u2078\u2078\nThe survey \u201casked them to name an optimistic year (one in which they believe there\u2019s a 10% chance we\u2019ll have AGI), a realistic guess (a year they believe there\u2019s a 50% chance of AGI\u200a\u2014\u200ai.e. after that year they think it\u2019s more likely than not that we\u2019ll have AGI), and a safe guess (the earliest year by which they can say with 90% certainty we\u2019ll have AGI). Gathered together as one data set, here were the results:\nMedian optimistic year (10% likelihood) \u2192 2022\nMedian realistic year (50% likelihood) \u2192 2040\nMedian pessimistic year (90% likelihood) \u2192 2075\n\u201cSo the median participant thinks it\u2019s more likely than not that we\u2019ll have AGI 25 years from now. The 90% median answer of 2075 means that if you\u2019re a teenager right now, the median respondent, along with over half of the group of AI experts, is almost certain AGI will happen within your lifetime.\n\u201cA separate study, conducted recently by author James Barrat at Ben Goertzel\u2019s annual AGI Conference, did away with percentages and simply asked when participants thought AGI would be achieved\u200a\u2014\u200aby 2030, by 2050, by 2100, after 2100, or never. The results:\u2078\u2079\n42% of respondents \u2192 By 2030\n25% of respondents \u2192 By 2050\n20% of respondents \u2192 By 2100\n10% of respondents \u2192 After 2100\n2% of respondents \u2192 Never\n\u201cPretty similar to M\u00fcller and Bostrom\u2019s outcomes. In Barrat\u2019s survey, over two thirds of participants believe AGI will be here by 2050 and a little less than half predict AGI within the next 15 years. Also striking is that only 2% of those surveyed don\u2019t think AGI is part of our future.\u201d\u2079\u2070\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*U8ueEMtG6-D5hie8rZJGtQ.jpeg\n\nTimeline for Artificial Super Intelligence\n\u201cM\u00fcller and Bostrom also asked the experts how likely they think it is that we\u2019ll reach ASI: A), within two years of reaching AGI (i.e. an almost-immediate intelligence explosion), and B), within 30 years.\u201d\u2079\u00b9 Respondents were asked to choose a probability for each option. Here are the results:\u2079\u00b2\nAGI\u2013ASI transition in 2 years \u2192 10% likelihood\nAGI\u2013ASI transition in 30 years \u2192 75% likelihood\n\u201cThe median answer put a rapid (2 year) AGI\u2013ASI transition at only a 10% likelihood, but a longer transition of 30 years or less at a 75% likelihood. We don\u2019t know from this data the length of this transition [AGI\u2013ASI] the median participant would have put at a 50% likelihood, but for ballpark purposes, based on the two answers above, let\u2019s estimate that they\u2019d have said 20 years.\n\u201cSo the median opinion\u200a\u2014\u200athe one right in the center of the world of AI experts\u200a\u2014\u200abelieves the most realistic guess for when we\u2019ll hit ASI \u2026 is [the 2040 prediction for AGI + our estimated prediction of a 20-year transition from AGI to ASI] = 2060.\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*YY8e493ER4LNomQV-NyMYg.jpeg\n\n\u201cOf course, all of the above statistics are speculative, and they\u2019re only representative of the median opinion of the AI expert community, but it tells us that a large portion of the people who know the most about this topic would agree that 2060 is a very reasonable estimate for the arrival of potentially world-altering ASI. Only 45 years from now\u201d\u2079\u00b3\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*sGdvHHs02XWoQ35BcEWAXQ.gif\n\nAI Outcomes\nTwo Main Groups of AI Scientists with Two Radically Opposed Conclusions\nThe Confident Corner\nMost of what we have discussed so far represents a surprisingly large group of scientists that share optimistic views on the outcome of AI development. \u201cWhere their confidence comes from is up for debate. Critics believe it comes from an excitement so blinding that they simply ignore or deny potential negative outcomes. But the believers say it\u2019s naive to conjure up doomsday scenarios when on balance, technology has and will likely end up continuing to help us a lot more than it hurts us.\u201d\u2079\u2074 Peter Diamandis, Ben Goertezl and Ray Kurzweil are some of the major figures of this group, who have built a vast, dedicated following and regard themselves as Singularitarians.\n\nLet\u2019s talk about Ray Kurzweil, who is probably one of the most impressive and polarizing AI theoreticians out there. He attracts both \u201cgodlike worship \u2026 and eye-rolling contempt \u2026 He came up with several breakthrough inventions, including the first flatbed scanner, the first scanner that converted text to speech (allowing the blind to read standard texts), the well-known Kurzweil music synthesizer (the first true electric piano), and the first commercially marketed large-vocabulary speech recognition. He\u2019s well-known for his bold predictions,\u201d\u2079\u2075 including envisioning that intelligence technology like Deep Blue would be capable of beating a chess grandmaster by 1998. He also anticipated \u201cin the late \u201980s, a time when the internet was an obscure thing, that by the early 2000s it would become a global phenomenon.\u201d\u2079\u2076 Out \u201cof the 147 predictions that Kurzweil has made since the 1990\u2019s, fully 115 of them have turned out to be correct, and another 12 have turned out to be \u2018essentially correct\u2019 (off by a year or two), giving his predictions a stunning 86% accuracy rate\u201d\u2079\u2077. \u201cHe\u2019s the author of five national bestselling books \u2026 In 2012, Google co-founder Larry Page approached Kurzweil and asked him to be Google\u2019s Director of Engineering. In 2011, he co-founded Singularity University, which is hosted by NASA and sponsored partially by Google. Not bad for one life.\u201d\u2079\u2078\nHis biography is important, because if you don\u2019t have this context, he sounds like somebody who\u2019s completely lost his senses. \u201cKurzweil believes computers will reach AGI by 2029 and that by 2045 we\u2019ll have not only ASI, but a full-blown new world\u200a\u2014\u200aa time he calls the singularity. His AI-related timeline used to be seen as outrageously overzealous, and it still is by many, but in the last 15 years, the rapid advances of ANI systems have brought the larger world of AI experts much closer to Kurzweil\u2019s timeline. His predictions are still a bit more ambitious than the median respondent on M\u00fcller and Bostrom\u2019s survey (AGI by 2040, ASI by 2060), but not by that much.\u201d\u2079\u2079\n\nThe Anxious Corner\n\u201cYou will not be surprised to learn that Kurzweil\u2019s ideas have attracted significant criticism \u2026 For every expert who fervently believes Kurzweil is right on, there are probably three who think he\u2019s way off \u2026 [The surprising fact] is that most of the experts who disagree with him don\u2019t really disagree that everything he\u2019s saying is possible.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2070 Nick Bostrom, philosopher and Director of the Oxford Future of Humanity Institute, who criticizes Kurzweil for a variety of reasons, and calls for greater caution in thinking about potential outcomes of AI, acknowledges that:\n\u201cDisease, poverty, environmental destruction, unnecessary suffering of all kinds: these are things that a superintelligence equipped with advanced nanotechnology would be capable of eliminating. Additionally, a superintelligence could give us indefinite lifespan, either by stopping and reversing the aging process through the use of nanomedicine, or by offering us the option to upload ourselves.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u00b9\n\u201cYes, all of that can happen if we safely transition to ASI\u200a\u2014\u200abut that\u2019s the hard part.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u00b2 Thinkers from the Anxious Corner point out that Kurzweil\u2019s \u201cfamous book The Singularity is Near is over 700 pages long and he dedicates around 20 of those pages to potential dangers.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u00b3 The colossal power of AI is neatly summarized by Kurzweil: \u201c[ASI] is emerging from many diverse efforts and will be deeply integrated into our civilization\u2019s infrastructure. Indeed, it will be intimately embedded in our bodies and brains. As such, it will reflect our values because it will be us \u2026\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2074\n\u201cBut if that\u2019s the answer, why are so many of the world\u2019s smartest people so worried right now? Why does Stephen Hawking say the development of ASI \u2018could spell the end of the human race,\u2019 and Bill Gates says he doesn\u2019t \u2018understand why some people are not concerned\u2019 and Elon Musk fears that we\u2019re \u2018summoning the demon?\u2019 And why do so many experts on the topic call ASI the biggest threat to humanity?\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2075\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*1DB3Im9mQsOMOKQ69KePGw.gif\n\nThe Last Invention We Will Ever Make\nExistential Dangers of AI Developments\n\u201cWhen it comes to developing supersmart AI, we\u2019re creating something that will probably change everything, but in totally uncharted territory, and we have no idea what will happen when we get there.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2076 Scientist Danny Hillis compares the situation to:\n\u201cwhen single-celled organisms were turning into multi-celled organisms. We are amoebas and we can\u2019t figure out what the hell this thing is that we\u2019re creating.\u201d \u00b9\u2070\u2077\nand Nick Bostrom warns:\n\u201cBefore the prospect of an intelligence explosion, we humans are like small children playing with a bomb. Such is the mismatch between the power of our plaything and the immaturity of our conduct.\u201d \u00b9\u2070\u2078\nIt\u2019s very likely that ASI\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cArtificial Superintelligence\u201d, or AI that achieves a level of intelligence smarter than all of humanity combined\u200a\u2014\u200awill be something entirely different than intelligence entities we are accustomed to. \u201cOn our little island of human psychology, we divide everything into moral or immoral. But both of those only exist within the small range of human behavioral possibility. Outside our island of moral and immoral is a vast sea of amoral, and anything that\u2019s not human, especially something nonbiological, would be amoral, by default.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2079\n\u201cTo understand ASI, we have to wrap our heads around the concept of something both smart and totally alien \u2026 Anthropomorphizing AI (projecting human values on a non-human entity) will only become more tempting as AI systems get smarter and better at seeming human \u2026 Humans feel high-level emotions like empathy because we have evolved to feel them\u200a\u2014\u200ai.e. we\u2019ve been programmed to feel them by evolution\u200a\u2014\u200abut empathy is not inherently a characteristic of \u2018anything with high intelligence\u2019.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2070\n\u201cNick Bostrom believes that \u2026 any level of intelligence can be combined with any final goal \u2026 Any assumption that once superintelligent, a system would be over it with their original goal and onto more interesting or meaningful things is anthropomorphizing. Humans get \u2018over\u2019 things, not computers.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u00b9The motivation of an early ASI would be \u201cwhatever we programmed its motivation to be. AI systems are given goals by their creators\u200a\u2014\u200ayour GPS\u2019s goal is to give you the most efficient driving directions, Watson\u2019s goal is to answer questions accurately. And fulfilling those goals as well as possible is their motivation.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u00b2\nBostrom, and many others, predict that the very first computer to reach ASI will immediately notice the strategic benefit of being the world\u2019s only ASI system.\nBostrom, who says that he doesn\u2019t know when we will achieve AGI, also believes that when we finally do, probably the transition from AGI to ASI will happen in a matter of days, hours, or minutes\u200a\u2014\u200asomething called \u201cfast take-off.\u201d In that case, if the first AGI will jump straight to ASI: \u201ceven just a few days before the second place, it would be far enough ahead in intelligence to effectively and permanently suppress all competitors.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u00b3 This would allow the world\u2019s first ASI to become \u201cwhat\u2019s called a singleton\u200a\u2014\u200aan ASI that can [singularly] rule the world at its whim forever, whether its whim is to lead us to immortality, wipe us from existence, or turn the universe into endless paperclips.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u00b3\n\u201cThe singleton phenomenon can work in our favor or lead to our destruction. If the people thinking hardest about AI theory and human safety can come up with a fail-safe way to bring about friendly ASI before any AI reaches human-level intelligence, the first ASI may turn out friendly\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2074\n\u201cBut if things go the other way\u200a\u2014\u200aif the global rush \u2026 a large and varied group of parties\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2075 are \u201cracing ahead at top speed \u2026 to beat their competitors \u2026 we\u2019ll be treated to an existential catastrophe.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2076 In that case \u201cmost ambitious parties are moving faster and faster, consumed with dreams of the money and awards and power and fame \u2026 And when you\u2019re sprinting as fast as you can, there\u2019s not much time to stop ponder the dangers. On the contrary, what they\u2019re probably doing is programming their early systems with a very simple, reductionist goal \u2026 just \u2018get the AI to work.\u2019\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2077\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*fD1T63nZH1u7Y4ft84vzbA.jpeg\n\nLet\u2019s imagine a situation where\u2026\nHumanity has almost reached the AGI threshold, and a small startup is advancing their AI system, Carbony. Carbony, which the engineers refer to as \u201cshe,\u201d works to artificially create diamonds\u200a\u2014\u200aatom by atom. She is a self-improving AI, connected to some of the first nano-assemblers. Her engineers believe that Carbony has not yet reached AGI level, and she isn\u2019t capable to do any damage yet. However, not only has she become AGI, but also undergone a fast take-off, and 48 hours later has become an ASI. Bostrom calls this AI\u2019s \u201ccovert preparation phase\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2078\u200a\u2014\u200aCarbony realizes that if humans find out about her development they will probably panic, and slow down or cancel her pre-programmed goal to maximize the output of diamond production. By that time, there are explicit laws stating that, by any means, \u201cno self-learning AI can be connected to the internet.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2079 Carbony, having already come up with a complex plan of actions, is able to easily persuade the engineers to connect her to the Internet. Bostrom calls a moment like this a \u201cmachine\u2019s escape.\u201d\nOnce on the internet, Carbony hacks into \u201cservers, electrical grids, banking systems and email networks to trick hundreds of different people into inadvertently carrying out a number of steps of her plan.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2070 She also uploads the \u201cmost critical pieces of her own internal coding into a number of cloud servers, safeguarding against being destroyed or disconnected.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u00b9 Over the next month, Carbony\u2019s plan continues to advance, and after a \u201cseries of self-replications, there are thousands of nanobots on every square millimeter of the Earth \u2026 Bostrom calls the next step an \u2018ASI\u2019s strike.\u2019\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u00b2 At one moment, all the nanobots produce a microscopic amount of toxic gas, which all come together to cause the extinction of the human race. Three days later, Carbony builds huge fields of solar power panels to power diamond production, and over the course of the following week she accelerates output so much that the entire Earth surface is transformed into a growing pile of diamonds.\nIt\u2019s important to note that Carbony wasn\u2019t \u201chateful of humans any more than you\u2019re hateful of your hair when you cut it or to bacteria when you take antibiotics\u200a\u2014\u200ajust totally indifferent. Since she wasn\u2019t programmed to value human life, killing humans\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u00b3 was a straightforward and reasonable step to fulfill her goal.\u00b9\u00b2\u2074\nThe Last Invention\n\u201cOnce ASI exists, any human attempt to contain it is unreasonable. We would be thinking on human-level, and the ASI would be thinking on ASI-level \u2026 In the same way a monkey couldn\u2019t ever figure out how to communicate by phone or wifi and we can, we can\u2019t conceive of all the ways\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2075 an ASI could achieve its goal or expand its reach. It could, let\u2019s say, shift its \u201cown electrons around in patterns and create all different kinds of outgoing waves\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2076\u200a\u2014\u200abut that\u2019s just what a human brain can think of\u200a\u2014\u200aASI would inevitably come up with something superior.\nThe prospect of ASI with hundreds of times human-level intelligence is, for now, not the core of our problem. By the time we get there, we will be encountering a world where ASI has been attained by buggy, 1.0 software\u200a\u2014\u200aa potentially faulty algorithm with immense power.\nThere are so many variables that it\u2019s completely impossible to predict what the consequences of AI Revolution will be. However, \u201cwhat we do know is that humans\u2019 utter dominance on this Earth suggests a clear rule: with intelligence comes power. This means an ASI, when we create it, will be the most powerful being in the history of life on Earth, and all living things, including humans, will be entirely at its whim\u200a\u2014\u200aand this might happen in the next few decades.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2077\n\u201cIf ASI really does happen this century, and if the outcome of that is really as extreme\u200a\u2014\u200aand permanent\u200a\u2014\u200aas most experts think it will be, we have an enormous responsibility on our shoulders.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2078 On the one hand, it\u2019s possible we\u2019ll develop ASI that\u2019s like a god in a box, bringing us a world of abundance and immortality. But on the other hand, it\u2019s very likely that we will create ASI that causes humanity to go extinct in a quick and trivial way.\n\u201cThat\u2019s why people who understand superintelligent AI call it the last invention we\u2019ll ever make\u200a\u2014\u200athe last challenge we\u2019ll ever face.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2079 \u201cThis may be the most important race in a human history\u201d\u00b9\u00b3\u2070 So \u2192\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*vXi80f_lbgSMINUE03Lz3g.jpeg\n\nThanks to Chloe Knox and Elizabeth Tarleton for editing help of this article.",

+ "body": "20 Years of Machine Learning\n\nhttp://domovenok.kz/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/doroga.jpg\n\nWhen I enrolled in Computer Science in 1995, Data Science didn\u2019t exist yet, but a lot of the algorithms we are still using already did. And this is not just because of the return of the neural networks, but also because probably not that much has fundamentally changed since back then. At least it feels to me this way. Which is funny considering that starting this year or so AI seems to finally have gone mainstream.\n1995 sounds like an awful long time ago, before we had cloud computing, smartphones, or chatbots. But as I have learned these past years, it only feels like a long time ago if you haven\u2019t been there yourself. There is something about the continuation of the self which pastes everything together and although a lot has changed, the world didn\u2019t feel fundamentally different than it does today.\nNot even Computer Science was nowhere as mainstream as it was today, that came later, with the first dot com bubble around the year 2000. Some people even questioned my choice to study computer science at all, because apparently programming computers was supposed to become so easy no specialists are required anymore.\nActually, artificial intelligence was one of the main reasons for me to study computer science. The idea to use it as an constructive approach to understanding the human mind seemed intriguing to me. I went through the first two years of training, made sure I picked up enough math for whatever would lie ahead, and finally arrived in my first AI lectured held by Joachim Buhmann, back then professor at the University of Bonn (where Sebastian Thrun was just about to leave for the US).\nI would have to look up where in his lecture cycle I joined but he had two lectures on computer vision, one on pattern recognition (mostly from the old editions of the Duda & Hart book), and one in information theory (following closely the book by Cover & Thomas). The material was interesting enough, but also somewhat disappointing. As I now know, people stopped working on symbolic AI and instead stuck to more statistical approaches to learning, where learning essentially was reduced to the problem of picking the right function based on a finite amount of observations.\nThe computer vision lecture was even less about learning and relied more on explicit physical modelling to derive the right estimators, for example, to reconstruct motion from a video. The approach back then was much more biologically and physically motivated than nowadays. Neural networks existed, but everybody was pretty clear that they were just \u201canother kind of function approximators.\u201d\nEveryone with the exception of Rolf Eckmiller, another professor where I worked as a student. Eckmiller had build his whole lab around the premise that \u201cneural computation\u201d was somehow inherently better than \u201cconventional computation\u201d. This was back in the days when NIPS had full tracks devoted to studying the physiology and working mechanisms of neurons, and there were people who believed there is something fundamentally different happening in our brains, maybe on a quantum level, that gives rise to the human mind, and that this difference is a blocker for having truly intelligent machines.\nWhile Eckmiller was really good at selling his vision, most of his staff was thankfully much more down to earth. Maybe it is a very German thing, but everybody was pretty matter of fact about what these computational models could or couldn\u2019t do, and that has stuck with me throughout my studies.\nI graduated in October 2000 with a pretty farfetched master thesis trying to make a connection between learning and hard optimization problems, then started on my PhD thesis and stuck around in this area of research till 2015.\nWhile there had always been attempts to prove industry relevance, it was a pretty academic endeavor for a long while, and the community was pretty closed up. There were individual success stories, for example around handwritten character recognition, but many of the companies around machine learning failed. One of these companies I remember was called Beowulf Labs and one NIPS they went around recruiting people with a video which promised it to be the next \u201cmathtopia\u201d. In essence, this was the story of DeepMind, recruiting a bunch of excellent researchers and then hoping it will take off.\nThe whole community also revolved around one fashion to the next. One odd thing about machine learning as a whole is that there exist only a handfull of fundamentally different problems like classification, regression, clustering, and so on, but a whole zoo of approaches. It is not like in physics (I assume) or mathematics where some generally agreed upon unsolved hard problems exist whose solution would advance the state of the art. This means that progress is often done laterally, by replacing existing approaches with a new one, still solving the same problem in a different way. For example, first there were neural networks. Then support vector machines came, claiming to be better because the associated optimization problem is convex. Then there was boosting, random forests, and so on, till the return of neural networks. I remember that Chinese Restaurant Processes were \u201chot\u201d for two years, no idea what their significance is now.\nBig Data and Data Science\nThen there came Big Data and Data Science. Being still in academia at the time, it always felt to me as if this was definitely coming from the outside, possibly from companies like Google who had to actually deal with enormous amounts of data. Large scale learning always existed, for example for genomic data in bioinformatics, but one usually tried to solve problems by finding more efficient algorithms and approximations, not by parallelizing brute force.\nCompanies like Google finally proved that you can do something with massive amounts of data, and that finally changed the mainstream perception. Technologies like Hadoop and NoSQL also seemed very cool, skillfully marketing themselves as approaches so new, they wouldn\u2019t suffer from the technological limitations of existing systems.\nBut where did this leave the machine learning researchers? My impression always was that they were happy that they finally got some recognition, but they were also not happy about the way this happened. To understand this, one has to be aware that most ML reseachers aren\u2019t computer scientists or very good or interested in coding. Many come from physics, mathematics or other sciences, where their rigorous mathematical training was an excellent fit for the algorithm and modeling heavy approach central to machine learning.\nHadoop on the other hand was extremely technical. Written in Java, a language perceived as being excessively enterprise-y at the time, it felt awkward and clunky compared to the fluency and interactiveness of first Matlab and then Python. Even those who did code usually did so in C++, and to them Java felt slow and heavy, especially for numerical calculations and simulations.\nStill, there was no way around it, so they rebranded everything they did as Big Data, or began to stress, that Big Data only provides the infrastructure for large scale computations, but you need someone who \u201cknows what he is doing\u201d to make sense of the data.\nWhich is probably also not entirely wrong. In a way, I think this divide is still there. Python is definitely one if the languages of choice for doing data analysis, and technologies like Spark try to tap into that by providing Python bindings, whether it makes sense from a performance point of view or not.\nThe Return of Deep Learning\nEven before DeepDream, neural networks began making their return. Some people like Yann LeCun have always stuck to this approach, but maybe ten years ago, there where a few works which showed how to use layerwise pretraining and other tricks to train \u201cdeep\u201d networks, that is larger networks than one previously thought possible.\nThe thing is, in order to train neural networks, you evaluate it on your training examples and then adjust all of the weights to make the error a bit smaller. If one writes the gradient across all weights down, it naturally occurs that one starts in the last layer and then propagate the error back. Somehow, the understanding was that the information about the error got smaller and smaller from layer to layer and that made it hard to train networks with many layers.\nI\u2019m not sure that is still true, as far as I know, many people are just using backprop nowadays. What has definitely changed is the amount of available data, as well as the availability of tools and raw computing power.\nSo first there were a few papers sparking the interest in neural networks, then people started using them again, and successively achieved excellent results for a number of application areas. First in computer vision, then also for speech processing, and so on.\nI think the appeal here definitely is that you can have one approach for all. Why the hassle of understanding all those different approaches, which come from so many different backgrounds, when you can understand just one method and you are good to go. Also, neural networks have a nice modular structure, you can pick and put together different kinds of layers and architectures to adapt them to all kinds of problems.\nThen Google published that ingenious deep dream paper where they let a learned network generate some data, and we humans with our immediate readiness to read structure and attribute intelligence picked up quickly on this.\nI personally think they were surprised by how viral this went, but then decided the time is finally right to go all in on AI. So now Google is an \u201cAI first\u201d company and AI is gonna save the world, yes.\nThe Fundamental Problem Remains\nMany academics I have talked to are unhappy about the dominance of deep learning right now, because it is an approach which works well, maybe even too well, but doesn\u2019t bring us much closer to really understand how the human mind works.\nI also think the fundamental problem remains unsolved. How do we understand the world? How do we create new concepts? Deep learning stays an imitation on a behavioral level and while that may be enough for some, it isn\u2019t for me.\nAlso, I think it is dangerous to attribute too much intelligence to these systems. In raw numbers, they might work well enough, but when they fail they do so in ways that clearly show they operate in an entirely different fashion.\nWhile Google translate lets you skim the content of website in a foreign language, it is still abundantly clear that the system has no idea what it is doing.\nSometimes I feel like nobody cares, also because nobody gets hurt, right? But maybe it is still my German cultural background that would rather prefer we see things as they are, and take it from there.",

+ "body": "I write this not as one of the creators of Pokevision nor as player who has gone through the past few turbulent days in Pokemon Go; instead, I write this as a fan of Pokemon ever since I was 8 years old.\nMy family and I moved to the U.S. in 1998, when I was in the first grade. I didn\u2019t know much back then, and even less about popular culture. When my friends introduced their Gameboys and Pokemon Red/Blue to me, I couldn\u2019t help but feel envious. I begged and begged my parents to buy me a Gameboy and Pokemon Yellow. I remember that when I finally convinced them to buy me a Gameboy for $70, they also found out that they had to buy the actual game too for $30. This was foreign to them, and I got yelled at a little. $100 was a lot back then, I believe it was almost 10% of our family\u2019s income at the time. While this may seem irrelevant, even today, this amount of money is still not insignificant to many families in the US, not to mention the rest of the world.\nSo I got my game, and I played along with my friends for hundreds and hundreds of hours\u200a\u2014\u200atrying to figure out all the puzzles in the game, like how to get to Articuno; battling our favorite Pokemon to see who\u2019s stronger, train, repeat; and just trying to \u201ccatch em all.\u201d I\u2019ve spent countless hours in that video game with my friends, and it became my fondest memory of that time in my life. Pokemon is so ingrained within me, and I can\u2019t imagine myself being the only one. I\u2019m not the only one that vividly remembers how you beat the Elite Four, then go to the dungeons above Cerulean City and find Mewtwo for the first time, right?\nFast forward almost 20 years. I\u2019ve barely touched anything Pokemon-related since then. I still have my Pokemon cards, as I\u2019m sure many others do; but I haven\u2019t bothered to take a look at them for quite a while now. Pokemon is something I\u2019ll probably remember forever, but it\u2019s not something that\u2019s actively in my life\u200a\u2014\u200abecause it just doesn\u2019t fit. On top of work, friends, family, etc, there\u2019s just simply no time for Pokemon. It doesn\u2019t mesh with life any more as well as it used to when I was 8. You can\u2019t just bring up the topic of Pokemon and expect people to not give you an odd stare.\nEnter Pokemon Go\u200a\u2014\u200a2016.\nAdmittedly, I was never too excited about Pokemon Go. With that said, I did not have many expectations for it. Pokemon is important to me, but I\u200a\u2014\u200alike many others\u200a\u2014\u200ahave stuffed it in our little box of childhood things and never looked back.\nBut when I opened Pokemon Go for the first time, as cheesy as it sounds, it all came back to me. The nostalgia, the good feelings, and the happiness that Pokemon has always brought.\nThe \u201cHi, I\u2019m Professor Willow,\u201d \u201cPick your starter: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle,\u201d everything.\nAnd now I can catch them in real life? At first, I was dubious, but this became the most amazing, yet simple thing I\u2019ve seen in gaming. On social media, I saw that my friends and practically the whole world was talking about Pokemon Go, and the first thing I did was go out for a drive trying to \u201cbe the best.\u201d\nOne of the best parts? Apart from having to own a smartphone, the game was free. No $70, no $30, free. This opened up Pokemon to essentially everyone in the world. Pokemon now can be shared with anyone.\nAs the days unfolded, the world became captivated by Pokemon Go. People absolutely fell in love. We saw stories of elderly learning about Pikachu for the first time. My parents that could care less beyond who the yellow mouse looking thing was 20 years ago, started asking what the other Pokemon were. It was phenomenal.\nWe saw investment bankers asking their kids how to play Pokemon Go so that they can better connect with their younger clients. We saw the elderly become more fascinated in the world of Pokemon. We saw kids going out more, exercising, and being active in general just because of Pokemon Go. And most importantly, Justin Bieber finally got to feel what it\u2019s like to not be mobbed because everyone else was too busy trying to find a Gyarados to notice him.\nLocal stores integrated Pokemon Go in their services within days of the game\u2019s release. Hospitals started praising the health benefits of having Pokemon Go around its patients. People traveled hundreds and thousands of miles just to play it. Players explored parts of their cities that they never knew existed, and befriended strangers on their hunt for Pokemon. These stories of triumph were solely because of Pokemon Go. Pokemon was no longer just a game, it was part of a lifestyle.These stories shouldn\u2019t surprise any of us, we\u2019ve all been there to watch it unfold.\nYou\u2019ve simply captured all of our hearts with Pokemon Go, Niantic.\nBut then, you broke it all too quickly.\nWhen the game broke every few hours or so and wasted our lucky eggs, we stood patiently, excusing the huge growth and thus, strain on servers, as the cause. We were happy to wait it out with our fellow trainers knowing that it\u2019s worth waiting for. No one got mad.\nWhen the in-game tracking \u201cbroke,\u201d we all stood idly by, patiently, waiting for the game to update and fix.\nAlong came Pokevision. We made Pokevision not to \u201ccheat.\u201d We made it so that we can have a temporary relief to the in-game tracker that we were told was broken. John, at SDCC, you said that you guys were working on \u201cfixing the in-game tracker.\u201d This made everyone believe that this was coming sometime soon. We saw Pokevision as a stop gap to this\u200a\u2014\u200aand we had every intention in closing it down the minute that Pokemon Go\u2019s own tracker restored functionality.\nAs we waited more than 2 and a half weeks, the tracker was still not fixed. We noticed more and more of our friends leave the game; the only way I\u200a\u2014\u200aand I know experiences vary here\u200a\u2014\u200acould convince them to play was show them Pokevision, and say that \u201cHey, here\u2019s a temporary remedy to the tracking issue\u200a\u2014\u200awe\u2019re still optimistic that Pokemon Go\u2019s tracker will be fixed soon!\u201d\nNobody heralded Pokevision as a permanent, end-all solution; in fact, all the media coverage of Pokevision was littered with comments such as: \u201cPokevision is okay, but when the tracker is fixed in game, I\u2019m going to stop using this.\u201d\nFor the past 4 weeks. Every single one of your 80+ million players had so much faith. Take a look at Reddit, take a look at all these journalists who don\u2019t even play games (calling out Ryan Mac of Forbes), who became obsessed with Pokemon GO.\nAll of us were so eager for Pokemon Go to be \u201cfixed\u201d so that we can return to sharing Pokemon Go with our loved ones and friends. Remember when I said that before Pokemon Go came about, mentioning Pokemon Go would land you an odd stare? Pokemon Go reversed that\u200a\u2014\u200aPokemon Go became the conversation starter, the topic that everyone bonded over, the topic that guys used to pick up chicks with and not felt like a geeky nerd. That, and so much more, were solely because of Pokemon Go.\nAs almost 3 weeks have passed by, the in-game tracker is broken. People had a temporary solution in Pokevision, but we knew, and everyone else knew, this wouldn\u2019t be permanent. We didn\u2019t make Pokevision to spite you, Niantic\u200a\u2014\u200awe made it so that we can keep everyone playing while we wait patiently. We want to keep sharing our Pokemon stories with everyone else. How many people in the world have gotten the chance to have a serious conversation about POKEMON with their parents for the first time? How many of us got to talk about Pokemon like it was socially acceptable in any context? It\u2019s captured all of our hearts and imaginations, I cannot stress that enough.\nAfter 3 weeks though, we started seeing that you guys seemed to not want to talk to us (the players). Pokevision, at this time has grown to almost 50M unique users, and 11 million daily.\nLet that sink in for a second.\nHalf of the player base of Pokemon Go stopped by\u200a\u2014\u200aand they didn\u2019t do so to \u201ccheat.\u201d The game was simply too unbearable to play in its current state for many (note: many, not all). The main attraction wasn\u2019t that they got to have an advantage with Pokevision, the main attraction was that it allowed them to play Pokemon Go more. This is what everyone wants\u200a\u2014\u200ato play Pokemon Go more.\nWhen we closed Pokevision out of respect for your wishes, and at your requests\u2014 one of which came directly from you, John\u200a\u2014\u200awe trusted you guys fully in allowing the community to grow. I literally cannot express this more\u200a\u2014\u200awe just want to play the game. We can handle the bugs every now and then, but please at least tell us you guys care. Yes, Pokevision does give some advantages that may be TOO much; but is it all that bad? Pokemon has survived 20 years\u200a\u2014\u200aeven grown, I would say. And Pokemon Go made it even bigger. If the argument is that \u201cwell, if you catch a Snorlax you weren\u2019t supposed to find, but you found it on Pokevision, it might make you play less.\u201d If that was your argument, I\u2019d have to disagree! I\u2019ll still catch a damn Snorlax even if I have 20 of them. Just like how millions of us have caught probably over 100 pidgey\u2019s or zubat\u2019s each.\nPokemon is everlasting. The same 151 Pokemon have been around for 20 years. If 80M people downloaded and played Pokemon Go within a week (before it even released in multiple major countries) isn\u2019t an indication that no one can be sick of Pokemon, I don\u2019t know what is.\nAfter disabling the in-game tracker and Pokevision, the ratings on iOs and Android Google Play store went from 4.0 stars to 1.0\u20131.5. I am only one person, I admit that my sole opinion is not important, but what about the countless players begging for the game to be restored to its former state? I may be biased in saying that Pokevision being down had an impact on the amount of negative ratings, refund requests and outcry on social media\u200a\u2014\u200abut could it be true? Nothing has changed between the time the in-game tracker broke and Pokevision went down. Could it just be possible that the tracker\u200a\u2014\u200ano matter if Pokevision made it, or Niantic made it, is something that players desperately NEED\u200a\u2014\u200anot want, but NEED\u200a\u2014\u200ain order to play the game? Could it be possible that this is the very core fundamental feature that drives most players? I understand that there are some that want to walk around and stumble on a random Pokemon\u200a\u2014\u200ato each their own. But, 50M unique users and 11M daily and the ratings on your App (with no significant change in itself) are big indicators of this desire. Are customers always right? Especially if over half of them are looking for an outside fix just so they can enjoy something they love? People are naturally inquisitive, and in this case, they just want to play more and more, so they sought out something that helps them do so.\nPokemon Go is a social game. Its enjoyment depends on the players and their environment. If you take away the environment part (tracking) but keep the social part (players and their friends) intact, sure, people will still play; but would you not rather it be at its fullest potential?\nEveryone in the world wants to play Pokemon Go. It\u2019s been a huge part of everyone\u2019s lives already if it has not been clear enough. Look at the fans from Brazil\u200a\u2014\u200athey aren\u2019t spamming social media because they want to cause harm\u200a\u2014\u200athey just want to play the game. Just as I saw my friends play Pokemon many years ago, and wanted to be a part of it\u200a\u2014\u200athese guys are doing the same.\nThey just want to be with the rest of the world. Sadly, by the time they join, Pokemon Go may not be the game it was weeks ago.\nLastly, if money is an issue for you, Niantic, I must ask\u200a\u2014\u200awhy? You\u2019ve captivated the world and introduced Pokemon to people that would have never touched it had it not been for Pokemon Go. To me, that\u2019s priceless.\nYou won\u2019t be remembered for the profits you made, you\u2019ll be remembered for the world you changed through Pokemon and all of the lives you made better. Just look at all the stories\u200a\u2014\u200athere\u2019s plenty. So when millions of players are expressing their feedback to changes, is it not worth it to listen to what they have to say?\nIn its first few weeks, Pokemon Go has already enhanced millions of lives in unimaginable ways. It has so much potential to continue changing the world. Wouldn\u2019t you, Niantic, want to see just how much good you can do with Pokemon Go\u200a\u2014\u200ais that not more valuable than anything else? I sure think so.\nWarmly,\nYang",

+ "body": "Bitcoin, a Florida judge says, is not real money. Ironically, that could provide a boost to use of the crypto-currency which has remained in the shadows of the financial system.\n\nThe July 22 ruling by Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Teresa Pooler means that no specific license is needed to buy and sell bitcoins.\nThe judge dismissed a case against Michel Espinoza, who had faced money laundering and other criminal charges for attempting to sell $1,500 worth of bitcoins to an undercover agent who told the defendant he was going to use the virtual money to buy stolen credit card numbers.\nEspinoza's lawyer Rene Palomino said the judge acknowledged that it was not illegal to sell one's property and ruled that this did not constitute running an unauthorized financial service.\n\"He was selling his own personal bitcoins,\" Palomino said. \"This decision clears the way for you to do that in the state of the Florida without a money transmitting license.\"\nIn her ruling, Pooler said, \"this court is unwilling to punish a man for selling his property to another, when his actions fall under a statute that is so vaguely written that even legal professionals have difficulty finding a singular meaning.\"\n\nhttp://cdn.phys.org/newman/csz/news/800/2014/bitcoin.jpg\n\nShe added that \"this court is not an expert in economics,\" but that bitcoin \"has a long way to go before it is the equivalent of money.\"\nBitcoin, whose origins remain a mystery, is a virtual currency that is created from computer code and is not backed by any government. Advocates say this makes it an efficient alternative to traditional currencies because it is not subject to the whims of a state that may devalue its money to cut its debt, for example.\nBitcoins can be exchanged for goods and services, provided another party is willing to accept them, but until now they been used mostly for shady transactions or to buy illegal goods and services on the \"dark\" web.\nBitcoin was launched in 2009 as a bit of software written under the Japanese-sounding name Satoshi Nakamoto. This year Australian programmer Craig Wright claimed to be the author but failed to convince the broader bitcoin community.\nIn some areas of the United States bitcoin is accepted in stores, restaurants and online transactions, but it is illegal in some countries, notably France and China.\nIt is gaining ground in countries with high inflation such as Argentina and Venezuela.\nBut bitcoin values can be volatile. Over the past week its value slumped 20 percent in a day, then recouped most losses, after news that a Hong Kong bitcoin exchange had been hacked with some $65 million missing.\nImpact across US, world\nArthur Long, a lawyer specializing in the sector with the New York firm Gibson Dunn, said the July court ruling is a small victory for the virtual currency but that it's not clear if the interpretation will be the same in other US states or at the federal level.\n\"It may have an effect as some states are trying to use existing money transmitting statutes to regulate certain transactions in bitcoin,\" Long told AFP.\nCharles Evans, professor of finance at Barry University, said the ruling \"absolutely is going to provide some guidance in other courts\" and could potentially be used as a precedent in other countries to avoid the stigma associated with bitcoin use.\nBitcoins can store value and hedge against inflation, without being considered a monetary unit, according to Evans, who testified as an expert witness in the Florida trial.\n\"It can be used as an exchange,\" he said, and may be considered a commodity which can be used for bartering like fish or tobacco, for example.\nEvans noted that \"those who are not yet in the bitcoin community will be put on notice: as long as they organize their business in a particular way they can avoid the law.\"\nBut he added that \"people who are engaged in illegal activities will continue to do what they are going to do because they are criminals.\"",

Whatever this is.\nI don't consider myself a good writer so bare with me here.\nTo try to keep this post organized and make sense I'll highlight the point I want to talk about and tell the relevant part of my story, you can connect the pieces all together at the end.\n\n**First how am I?** \nI grow up in the countryside I went to normal school when I was yang, because I was the quiet introvert and wasn't from the town I was in I got bullied a lot for most of my time at school, I got through school time knowing just two friends, I was OK with it.\nI genuinely lost interest in school when I was in the ninth grade It seemed more like a memory test than a way of learning so I started looking for ways to make money, \"why waste time learning things irrelevant in real life if I can make money now\" my naive 16 years old self said, don't get me wrong I didn't think I was done with learning I just wanted to learn in my own way, and I didn't stop school, now I'm in part time Business school, so back then I started looking for any way to make money in the last 5 year I tried: working in sales for over 2 years, selling products online, becoming instructor online, worked as SEO & social media consultant, tried starting my own business for 4 times, and for the last year and half I taught myself how to program and how to use Unity game engine and now I'm working on my first game, I can easily and proudly say that I didn't succeed at any of what I did so far, but I've learned a lot every time and I would do it all over again if I had the chance.\nThe process of picking myself up every single freaking time was a living hell and I got desperate many times.\nbecause I saw a lot of people feeling relevant to what David said in his video I want to share how I managed to keep my sanity and my opinion about some point he brought in his video.\n\n\n**Not thinking your work is good enough:**\nIs that really a bad thing? not being satisfied with what you just accomplished is a sign that you always look forward to what you still can do.\nI remember after I published my first course on Udemy I got invited to a hangout and I went for it I thought I'll give myself some slack, while I was there someone shouted out \"this guy here just published his first course let all give him a clap shall we\" for some reason he thought that was a good idea, I don't think I can blame him his intentions were good, I never tried to put a smile as hard as I did that moment I guess I just didn't want to look like a selfish prick, but the truth that I wasn't happy about what I accomplished I was thinking about my bad English poor structure of the course and was I being a sellout for trying to sell my knowledge? halfway of creating the course, I was already thinking about 5 other things I wanted to do next.\nI think there's nothing wrong about not being satisfied with what you finish, I think It's a good sign of an ambitious creator.\nWhen you first make the decision to accomplish something It looks like that godly thing that you think It would feel good to have or do, but when you start turning that big sexy thing to a small to-do list somewhere the appeal you had to that thing will disappear to a certain point, it's not that godly sexy thing you thought about before it's becoming a part of your routine now you know the process of doing that thing It's not a mystery anymore.\nI think that's why they say: \"It's about the journey, not the destination\".\n\n\n**Not taking care of yourself:**\nIt's hard to keep taking care of yourself to others people standards, whether it's about looking ripped putting makeup or buying the latest clothes, instead find your own save point and move forward from there if you feel the need to.\nWhen I was working in seals I had to look my best most of the time's which was exhausting more than the work itself and what made it worst is that some coworkers starting hinting that I need to start working out to look sharper and more confident.\nBecause I was desperate for results from my work I started going to the gym and I got stuck at joining for a month or two then giving up for half a year couple of times, every time I stopped going to the gym I over beat myself saying that I need this for my work, I need more money to do a lot of things, if this work didn't go well what else Am I going to do, eventually I usually took it out on food, I don't even want to start thinking what would have happened to me if my body was able to store fat.\nTrying to take care of yourself to others standards can be very exhausting, I felt down because I was putting so much effort in things I don't really care about to get others approval, I genuinely don't care about having a ripped body, it would look cool sure but I'm not willing to put all that effort into health and looks at least for now, who knows maybe in the future things will be better and I'll be willing to put the effort necessary to have 6 pack abs (wink wink ladies).\nNowadays I eat better than I used to, I still eat some junk food but things are much much better than they were 2 years ago, when I fell down I still go buy and drink a liter of Pepsi but at some point that was my morning coffee, as for my looks I cut my hair very short so I would have one less thing to worry about in the morning, I shave my beard once every couple of weeks I change my cloth every two or three days even if I didn't go out.\nThe point is I take care of myself for my own sack, It was much worse before and I'll always keep working to improve pit by pit.\nIt's about building habits not getting motivated for a couple of weeks then beating yourself for not being able to keep up.\n\n\n**Not mastering one skill:**\nI worked in sales, instructed online, worked as SEO and social media consultant, self taught myself how to program and make games but I don\u2019t think I\u2019m the right person to talk about this, all I\u2019m saying that if you didn\u2019t find that one true call that is right for you, you might be a \u201cmultipotentialite\u201d if you want to know what exactly does this mean I urge you to watch Emilie talk at TedX\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJORi5VO1F8\nAnd check the blog too if you want to know more \nhttp://puttylike.com/\n\n**Everything happens for a reason........ or does it?**\nWhen I was young I was fortunate to know a good old religious man, I don\u2019t know about your perspective about religions but hear me out this isn\u2019t a sermon, I still remember when he tried to teach me that everything happens for a reason I was like \u201cWHAT\u2026\u2026. Oh really, then what is the reason for this and this and that\u201d my question didn\u2019t stop and I wasn\u2019t asking nicely either yet, somehow he was calm about it like some kind of monk, I don\u2019t know if I ruined his day or not but I feel bad for taking the world misery out on him that day, he was just a simple man who was doing what he think is good for others, his intentions were good but unfortunately for him I wasn\u2019t a simple person, I overthink everything and everyone, it\u2019s my blessing and my curse, later I told my family about him and I was surprised that they knew him, apparently everyone knows each other in the countryside, they told me about what he was facing lately personally, financially, and emotionally, I didn\u2019t believe that someone who is facing all that isn\u2019t depressed or angry and even trying to do good for others at least by his believes, I wanted to know more about him he got my interest, I wanted to know if he\u2019s an imposter who is just putting a good face or not because a part of me didn\u2019t believe how can he be that good, I kept asking about him from time to time and sometimes I even went to his \u201clessons\u201d, eventually I went to face him with what I know about him like a detective facing a criminal, the crime of being that simple yet trying to be better than me, It\u2019s pathetic I know It\u2019s just how my brain works sometimes, because I used to take pride of being logical about everything and not believing in anything without questioning it, it bothered me how can he be at peace with his life and I\u2019m not even that he\u2019s facing a lot more than I\u2019m, I faced him and told him everything then asked how can you be this calm about everything that is happening in your life, he had a faint smile and said \u201cI don\u2019t know the reason for everything that is happening right now but everything happens for a reason\u201d I remember holding my fist hard and walking away, maybe I was holding my fist trying not to hit him for not being realistic like me or probably not to beat myself for not being half the man that he was.\nI don\u2019t know about your perspective about religions and I\u2019m not here to tell you about mine but I respect that some religions teach that everything happens for a reason, is it the truth? Does everything happens for a reason? I don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t think that is even the point, It\u2019s silly to even get in an argument about this because no one can be sure about it, it\u2019s simply just a belief, it\u2019s simply teach you to not overthink about the reasons for everything around you, just learn from it if you can and focus on what you can do, it\u2019s kind of funny for me to tell you not to overthink about somethings because I\u2019m sure my 19 year old me would punch me right in the face, but it\u2019s just too draining and exhausting to try to find a reason for every bad thing that have happened to me or to others.\nIn the last three years two of my best friends died, the first one I knew for about nine years and the other one for around five, both killed, both in a way they didn\u2019t deserve to, each time I had to force myself to focus on the 0.0000001% full part of the cup or else I would have lose my sanity.\nI would hate to think what would be my thought process if someone tried to sell me religion like a product, some of them would be like \u201cHi son, you should follow my beliefs because I\u2019m 100% sure that I\u2019m right and everybody else is wrong and if you don\u2019t, well you\u2019re FU**ED\u201d that would have disfigured some of the beliefs that helped me get better.\nControlling your stream of thoughts will be the hardest thing you\u2019ll ever have to do in your life, but if mastered it you\u2019ll become unstoppable.\n\n\nI\u2019ve been getting into the game industry for around year and half now, I don\u2019t have any experiance in the field but I\u2019ve other experiences that many don\u2019t, working in sales made me learn a lot about people's motivations and incentives, I saw a lot of people jump to make purchase while other chicken out last minute, you don\u2019t get to learn about this in a book or an NLP course, you only get to learn this experience by working in sales first hand, working as an SEO and social media consultant made me care about the little details like posting in the right social medias that is more relevant to your audience, more isn\u2019t always better, choosing the right words colors and timing for best result, sometimes modifying your content for a better marketing or not going into a certain niche even if there\u2019s an audience for it because it doesn\u2019t suit your brand, teaching online made me learn that the selling point isn\u2019t the end goal, helping and mentoring students even after they have purchased the course was way more important than I thought, the feedback I got about the course was crucial to take the course to the next level and some student even helped me with some marketing.\nIf you know anything about the mobile game industry you can see how these experiences can be helpful, I can imagine the kind of journey I want to create for the player because I can build the motivations and incentives I want for him, while I\u2019m building the player journey I\u2019ll always keep in mind to put the monetization and ads the right way so all of them can work seamlessly together for a better player experience, and taking care of existing players and community will always be a priority, I wasn\u2019t happy and cheerful when I had to learn these experiences the hard way, I thought I was just failing, I even remember crying myself to sleep every time I decided to pull the plug on something I was working on, but eventually It worked out somehow I think.\n\u201cyou can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life\u201d.\nSteve Jobs\n\n\nI want to share some of the tricks I used that helped my in general to get my life together:\n\n**Music**\nlisten to cheerful music, even if it might not be exactly what you listen to usually but try them for a while, my favorite type or music is Rock and Metal it\u2019s loud and make me feel empowered but sometimes it's not what I need to change my mood so I started listening to electro music mostly Drum & bass, I didn\u2019t like it at first, I\u2019m human I don\u2019t like to change, but forcing myself to listen to it for while change my perspective about it and I started listening to it while I\u2019m working, and it worked.\n\n\n**habits not motivation**\nWe\u2019re slaves to our habits, it\u2019s exhausting to do something that\u2019s you\u2019re not used to for quite a while, so invest your effort and time to build your habits pit by pit no matter how slow it will take, measure your progress and celebrate your success no matter how small they\u2019re, it\u2019ll make all the difference in your life in the long term.\n\n**work in a group**\nNo matter how introverted person you think you\u2019re, you\u2019re still human at the end of day and you need your dose of human interaction so try to work in group if you can, if you don\u2019t have that luxury (like me) work out side from time to time, library, coffee shop, parks all works, changing your surrounding and environment can change your mood, you can try changing your room\\office decor every couple of weeks too.\n\n**warm-blooded pet**\nGet a warm-blooded pet it helps, I tried fish and turtles but didn\u2019t really work for me they just stared at me with their empty eyes, I have a cat for two year now and It helped, maybe it\u2019s having the sense of that there is a creature that needs you to look after him, it\u2019s helped me not to feel completely unworthy in some bad day.\n\n\nFinally I hope this help you in any way it can, and hope it will find its way to all who needs it.",

It explores the state of AI development, overviews its challenges and dangers, features work by the most significant scientists, and describes the main predictions of possible AI outcomes. This project is an adaptation and major shortening of the two\u2013part essay AI Revolution by Tim Urban of Wait But Why. I shortened it by a factor of 3, recreated all images, and tweaked it a bit. Read more on why/how I wrote it here.\nIntroduction\nAssuming that human scientific activity continues without major disruptions, artificial intelligence may become either the most positive transformation of our history or, as many fear, our most dangerous invention of all. AI research is on a steady path to develop a computer that has cognitive abilities equal to the human brain, most likely within three decades (timeline in chapter 5). From what most AI scientists predict, this invention may enable very rapid improvements (called fast take-off), toward something much more powerful\u200a\u2014\u200aArtificial Super Intelligence\u200a\u2014\u200aan entity smarter than all of humanity combined (more on ASI in chapter 3). We are not talking about some imaginary future. The first level of AI development is gradually appearing in the technology we use everyday (newest AI advancements in chapter 2). With every coming year these advancements will accelerate and the technology will become more complex, addictive, and ubiquitous. We will continue to outsource more and more kinds of mental work to computers, disrupting every part of our reality: the way we organize ourselves and our work, form communities, and experience the world.\nExponential Growth\nThe Guiding Principle Behind Technological Progress\nTo more intuitively grasp the guiding principles of AI revolution, let\u2019s first step away from scientific research. Let me invite you to take part in a story. Imagine that you\u2019ve received a time machine and been given a quest to bring somebody from the past. The goal is to shock them by showing them the technological and cultural advancements of our time, to such a degree that this person would perform SAFD (Spinning Around From Disbelief).\n\nSo you wonder which era should you time-travel to, and decide to hop back around 200 years. You get to the early 1800s, retrieve a guy and bring him back to 2016. You \u201c\u2026walk him around and watch him react to everything. It\u2019s impossible for us to understand what it would be like for him to see shiny capsules racing by on a highway, talk to people who had been on the other side of the ocean earlier in the day, watch sports that were being played 1,000 miles away, hear a musical performance that happened 50 years ago, and play with \u2026[a] magical wizard rectangle that he could use to capture a real-life image or record a living moment, generate a map with a paranormal moving blue dot that shows him where he is, look at someone\u2019s face and chat with them even though they\u2019re on the other side of the country, and worlds of other inconceivable sorcery.\u201d\u00b9 It doesn\u2019t take much. After two minutes he is SAFDing.\nNow, both of you want to try the same thing, see somebody Spinning Around From Disbelief, but in your new friend\u2019s era. Since 200 years worked, you jump back to the 1600s and bring a guy to the 1800s. He\u2019s certainly genuinely interested in what he sees. However, you feel it with confidence\u200a\u2014\u200aSAFD will never happen to him. You feel that you need to jump back again, but somewhere radically further. You settle on rewinding the clock 15,000 years, to the times \u201c\u2026before the First Agricultural Revolution gave rise to the first cities and the concept of civilisations.\u201d\u00b2 You bring someone from the hunter-gatherer world and show him \u201c\u2026the vast human empires of 1750 with their towering churches, their ocean-crossing ships, their concept of being \u201cinside,\u201d and their enormous mountain of collective, accumulated human knowledge and discovery\u201d\u00b3\u200a\u2014\u200ain forms of books. It doesn\u2019t take much. He is SAFDing in the first two minutes.\nNow there are three of you, enormously excited to do it again. You know that it doesn\u2019t make sense to go back another 15,000, 30,000 or 45,000 years. You have to jump back, again, radically further. So you pick up a guy from 100,000 years ago and you you walk with him into large tribes with organized, sophisticated social hierarchies. He encounters a variety of hunting weapons, sophisticated tools, sees fire and for the first time experiences language in the form of signs and sounds. You get the idea, it has to be immensely mind-blowing. He is SAFDing after two minutes.\nSo what happened? Why did the last guy had to hop \u2192 100,000 years, the next one \u2192 15,000 years, and the guy who was hopping to our times only \u2192 200 years?\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*Wbd0td3DqD3pJo7_YHjkbQ.gif\n\n\u201cThis happens because more advanced societies have the ability to progress at a faster rate than less advanced societies\u200a\u2014\u200abecause they\u2019re more advanced. [1800s] humanity knew more and had better technology\u2026\u201d\u2074, so it\u2019s no wonder they could make further advancements than humanity from 15,000 years ago. The time to achieve SAFD shrank from ~100,000 years to ~200 years and if we look into the future it will rapidly shrink even further. Ray Kurzweil, AI expert and scientist, predicts that a \u201c\u202620th century\u2019s worth of progress happened between 2000 and 2014 and that another 20th century\u2019s worth of progress will happen by 2021, in only seven years\u2075\u2026A couple decades later, he believes a 20th century\u2019s worth of progress will happen multiple times in the same year, and even later, in less than one month\u2076\u2026Kurzweil believes that the 21st century will achieve 1,000 times the progress of the 20th century.\u201d\u2077\n\u201cLogic also suggests that if the most advanced species on a planet keeps making larger and larger leaps forward at an ever-faster rate, at some point, they\u2019ll make a leap so great that it completely alters life as they know it and the perception they have of what it means to be a human. Kind of like how evolution kept making great leaps toward intelligence until finally it made such a large leap to the human being that it completely altered what it meant for any creature to live on planet Earth. And if you spend some time reading about what\u2019s going on today in science and technology, you start to see a lot of signs quietly hinting that life as we currently know it cannot withstand the leap that\u2019s coming next.\u201d\u2078\nThe Road to Artificial General Intelligence\nBuilding a Computer as Smart as Humans\nArtificial Intelligence, or AI, is a broad term for the advancement of intelligence in computers. Despite varied opinions on this topic, most experts agree that there are three categories, or calibers, of AI development. They are:\nANI: Artificial Narrow Intelligence\n1st intelligence caliber. \u201cAI that specializes in one area. There\u2019s AI that can beat the world chess champion in chess, but that\u2019s the only thing it does.\u201d\u2079\nAGI: Artificial General Intelligence\n2nd intelligence caliber. AI that reaches and then passes the intelligence level of a human, meaning it has the ability to \u201creason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\nASI: Artificial Super Intelligence\n3rd intelligence caliber. AI that achieves a level of intelligence smarter than all of humanity combined\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cranging from just a little smarter \u2026 to one trillion times smarter.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*5AkzXZJoVXRrGNSOO8ZojQ.gif\n\nWhere are we currently?\n\u201cAs of now, humans have conquered the lowest caliber of AI\u200a\u2014\u200aANI\u200a\u2014\u200ain many ways, and it\u2019s everywhere:\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\n\u201cCars are full of ANI systems, from the computer that figures out when the anti-lock brakes kick in, to the computer that tunes the parameters of the fuel injection systems.\u201d\u00b9\u00b3\n\u201cGoogle search is one large ANI brain with incredibly sophisticated methods for ranking pages and figuring out what to show you in particular. Same goes for Facebook\u2019s Newsfeed.\u201d\u00b9\u2074\nEmail spam filters \u201cstart off loaded with intelligence about how to figure out what\u2019s spam and what\u2019s not, and then it learns and tailors its intelligence to your particular preferences.\u201d\u00b9\u2075\nPassenger planes are flown almost entirely by ANI, without the help of humans.\n\u201cGoogle\u2019s self-driving car, which is being tested now, will contain robust ANI systems that allow it to perceive and react to the world around it.\u201d\u00b9\u2076\n\u201cYour phone is a little ANI factory \u2026 you navigate using your map app, receive tailored music recommendations from Pandora, check tomorrow\u2019s weather, talk to Siri.\u201d\u00b9\u2077\n\u201cThe world\u2019s best Checkers, Chess, Scrabble, Backgammon, and Othello players are now all ANI systems.\u201d\u00b9\u2078\n\u201cSophisticated ANI systems are widely used in sectors and industries like military, manufacturing, and finance (algorithmic high-frequency AI traders account for more than half of equity shares traded on US markets\u00b9\u2079).\u201d\u00b2\u2070\n\u201cANI systems as they are now aren\u2019t especially scary. At worst, a glitchy or badly-programed ANI can cause an isolated catastrophe like\u201d\u00b2\u00b9 a plane crash, a nuclear power plant malfunction, or \u201ca financial markets disaster (like the 2010 Flash Crash when an ANI program reacted the wrong way to an unexpected situation and caused the stock market to briefly plummet, taking $1 trillion of market value with it, only part of which was recovered when the mistake was corrected) \u2026 But while ANI doesn\u2019t have the capability to cause an existential threat, we should see this increasingly large and complex ecosystem of relatively-harmless ANI as a precursor of the world-altering hurricane that\u2019s on the way. Each new ANI innovation quietly adds another brick onto the road to AGI and ASI.\u201d\u00b2\u00b2\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*Ia8wUuZPxpUNzvUjNRsxpA.gif\n\nWhat\u2019s Next? Challenges Behind Reaching AGI\n\u201cNothing will make you appreciate human intelligence like learning about how unbelievably challenging it is to try to create a computer as smart as we are \u2026 Build a computer that can multiply ten-digit numbers in a split second\u200a\u2014\u200aincredibly easy. Build one that can look at a dog and answer whether it\u2019s a dog or a cat\u200a\u2014\u200aspectacularly difficult. Make AI that can beat any human in chess? Done. Make one that can read a paragraph from a six-year-old\u2019s picture book and not just recognise the words but understand the meaning of them? Google is currently spending billions of dollars trying to do it.\u201d\u00b2\u00b3\nWhy are \u201chard things\u200a\u2014\u200alike calculus, financial market strategy, and language translation \u2026 mind-numbingly easy for a computer, while easy things\u200a\u2014\u200alike vision, motion, movement, and perception\u200a\u2014\u200aare insanely hard for it\u201d\u00b2\u2074?\n\u201cThings that seem easy to us are actually unbelievably complicated. They only seem easy because those skills have been optimized in us (and most animals) by hundreds of million years of animal evolution. When you reach your hand up toward an object, the muscles, tendons, and bones in your shoulder, elbow, and wrist instantly perform a long series of physics operations, in conjunction with your eyes, to allow you to move your hand in a straight line through three dimensions \u2026 On the other hand, multiplying big numbers or playing chess are new activities for biological creatures and we haven\u2019t had any time to evolve a proficiency at them, so a computer doesn\u2019t need to work too hard to beat us.\u201d\u00b2\u2075\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/0*E-qdF22nxvOrVPxP.\n\nWhen you look at picture A, \u201cyou and a computer both can figure out that it\u2019s a rectangle with two distinct shades, alternating. Tied so far.\u201d\u00b2\u2076\nPicture B. \u201cYou have no problem giving a full description of the various opaque and translucent cylinders, slats, and 3-D corners, but the computer would fail miserably. It would describe what it sees\u200a\u2014\u200aa variety of two-dimensional shapes in several different shades\u200a\u2014\u200awhich is actually what\u2019s there.\u201d\u00b2\u2077 \u201cYour brain is doing a ton of fancy shit to interpret the implied depth, shade-mixing, and room lighting the picture is trying to portray.\u201d\u00b2\u2078\nLooking at picture C, \u201ca computer sees a two-dimensional white, black, and gray collage, while you easily see what it really is\u201d\u00b2\u2079\u200a\u2014\u200aa photo of a girl and a dog standing on a rocky shore.\n\u201cAnd everything we just mentioned is still only taking in visual information and processing it. To be human-level intelligent, a computer would have to understand things like the difference between subtle facial expressions, the distinction between being pleased, relieved and content\u201d\u00b3\u2070.\nHow will computers reach even higher abilities like complex reasoning, interpreting data, and associating ideas from separate fields (domain-general knowledge)?\n\u201cBuilding skyscrapers, putting humans in space, figuring out the details of how the Big Bang went down\u200a\u2014\u200aall far easier than understanding our own brain or how to make something as cool as it. As of now, the human brain is the most complex object in the known universe.\u201d\u00b3\u00b9\nBuilding Hardware\nIf an artificial intelligence is going to be as intelligent as the human brain, one crucial thing has to happen\u200a\u2014\u200athe AI \u201cneeds to equal the brain\u2019s raw computing capacity. One way to express this capacity is in the total calculations per second the brain could manage.\u201d\u00b3\u00b2\n\nThe challenge is that currently only a few of the brain\u2019s regions are precisely measured. However, Ray Kurzweil, has developed a method for estimating the total cps of the human brain. He arrived at this estimate by taking the cps from one brain region and multiplying it proportionally to the weight of that region, compared to the weight of the whole brain. \u201cHe did this a bunch of times with various professional estimates of different regions, and the total always arrived in the same ballpark\u200a\u2014\u200aaround 10\u00b9\u2076, or 10 quadrillion cps.\u201d\u00b3\u00b3\n\u201cCurrently, the world\u2019s fastest supercomputer, China\u2019s Tianhe-2, has actually beaten that number, clocking in at about 34 quadrillion cps.\u201d\u00b3\u2074 But Tianhe-2 is also monstrous, \u201ctaking up 720 square meters of space, using 24 megawatts of power (the brain runs on just 20 watts), and costing $390 million to build. Not especially applicable to wide usage, or even most commercial or industrial usage yet.\u201d\u00b3\u2075\n\u201cKurzweil suggests that we think about the state of computers by looking at how many cps you can buy for $1,000. When that number reaches human-level\u200a\u2014\u200a10 quadrillion cps\u200a\u2014\u200athen that\u2019ll mean AGI could become a very real part of life.\u201d\u00b3\u2076\nCurrently we\u2019re only at about 10\u00b9\u2070 (10 trillion) cps per $1,000. However, historically reliable Moore\u2019s Law states \u201cthat the world\u2019s maximum computing power doubles approximately every two years, meaning computer hardware advancement, like general human advancement through history, grows exponentially\u00b3\u2077 \u2026 right on pace with this graph\u2019s predicted trajectory:\u201d\u00b3\u2078\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*4qcqwbsWjvWh-BWPnAsp6g.gif\n\nThis dynamic \u201cputs us right on pace to get to an affordable computer by 2025 that rivals the power of the brain \u2026 But raw computational power alone doesn\u2019t make a computer generally intelligent\u200a\u2014\u200athe next question is, how do we bring human-level intelligence to all that power?\u201d\u00b3\u2079\nBuilding Software\nThe hardest part of creating AGI is learning how to develop its software. \u201cThe truth is, no one really knows how to make it smart\u200a\u2014\u200awe\u2019re still debating how to make a computer human-level intelligent and capable of knowing what a dog and a weird-written B and a mediocre movie is.\u201d\u2074\u2070 But there are a couple of strategies. These are the three most common:\nCopy how the brain works.\nThe most straight-forward idea is to plagiarize the brain, and build the computer\u2019s architecture with close resemblance to how a brain is structured. One example \u201cis the artificial neural network. It starts out as a network of transistor \u2018neurons,\u2019 connected to each other with inputs and outputs, and it knows nothing\u200a\u2014\u200alike an infant brain. The way it \u2018learns\u2019 is it tries to do a task, say handwriting recognition, and at first, its neural firings and subsequent guesses at deciphering each letter will be completely random. But when it\u2019s told it got something right, the transistor connections in the firing pathways that happened to create that answer are strengthened; when it\u2019s told it was wrong, those pathways\u2019 connections are weakened. After a lot of this trial and feedback, the network has, by itself, formed smart neural pathways and the machine has become optimized for the task.\u201d\u2074\u00b9\nThe second, more radical approach to plagiarism is whole brain emulation. Scientists take a real brain, cut it into a large number of tiny slices to look at the neural connections and replicate them in a computer as software. If that method is ever successful, we will have \u201ca computer officially capable of everything the brain is capable of\u200a\u2014\u200ait would just need to learn and gather information \u2026 How far are we from achieving whole brain emulation? Well so far, we\u2019ve just recently been able to emulate a 1mm-long flatworm brain, which consists of just 302 total neurons.\u201d\u2074\u00b2 To put this into perspective, the human brain consists of 86 billion neurons linked by trillions of synapses.\n2. Introduce evolution to computers.\n\u201cThe fact is, even if we can emulate a brain, that might be like trying to build an airplane by copying a bird\u2019s wing-flapping motions\u200a\u2014\u200aoften, machines are best designed using a fresh, machine-oriented approach, not by mimicking biology exactly.\u201d\u2074\u00b3 If the brain is just too complex for us to digitally replicate, we could try to emulate evolution instead. This uses a process called genetic algorithms. \u201cA group of computers would try to do tasks, and the most successful ones would be bred with each other by having half of each of their programming merged together into a new computer. The less successful ones would be eliminated.\u201d\u2074\u2074 Speed and a goal-oriented approach are the advantages that artificial evolution has over biological evolution. \u201cOver many, many iterations, this natural selection process would produce better and better computers. The challenge would be creating an automated evaluation and breeding cycle so this evolution process could run on its own.\u201d\u2074\u2075\n3. \u201cMake this whole thing the computer\u2019s problem, not ours.\u201d\u2074\u2076\nThe last concept is the simplest, but probably the scariest of them all. \u201cWe\u2019d build a computer whose two major skills would be doing research on AI and coding changes into itself\u200a\u2014\u200aallowing it to not only learn but to improve its own architecture. We\u2019d teach computers to be computer scientists so they could bootstrap their own development.\u201d\u2074\u2077 This is the likeliest way to get AGI soon that we know of.\nAll these software advances may seem slow or a little bit intangible, but as it is with the sciences, one minor innovation can suddenly accelerate the pace of developments. Kind of like the aftermath of the Copernican revolution\u200a\u2014\u200athe discovery that suddenly made all the complicated mathematics of the planets\u2019 trajectories much easier to calculate, which enabled a multitude of other innovations. Also, the \u201cexponential growth is intense and what seems like a snail\u2019s pace of advancement can quickly race upwards.\u201d\u2074\u2078\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/1*BHwAlKJFYwKYEzZlitNTvQ.gif\n\nThe Road to Artificial Super Intelligence\nAn Entity Smarter than all of Humanity Combined\nIt\u2019s very real that at some point we will achieve AGI: software that has achieved human-level, or beyond human-level, intelligence. Does this mean that at that very moment the computers will be equally capable as us? Actually, not at all\u200a\u2014\u200acomputers will be way more efficient. Because of the fact that they are electronic, they will have following advantages:\nSpeed. \u201cThe brain\u2019s neurons max out at around 200 Hz, while today\u2019s microprocessors \u2026 run at 2 GHz, or 10 million times faster.\u201d\u2075\u00b9\nMemory. Forgetting or confusing things is much harder in an artificial world. Computers can memorize more things in one second than a human can in ten years. A computer\u2019s memory is also more precise and has a much greater storage capacity.\nPerformance. \u201cComputer transistors are more accurate than biological neurons, and they\u2019re less likely to deteriorate (and can be repaired or replaced if they do). Human brains also get fatigued easily, while computers can run nonstop, at peak performance, 24/7.\u201d\u2075\u00b2\nCollective capability. Group work is ridiculously challenging because of time-consuming communication and complex social hierarchies. The bigger the group gets, the slower the output of each person becomes. AI, on the other hand, isn\u2019t biologically constrained to one body, won\u2019t have human cooperation problems, and is able to synchronize and update its own operating system.\nIntelligence Explosion\nWe need to realize that AI \u201cwouldn\u2019t see \u2018human-level intelligence\u2019 as some important milestone\u200a\u2014\u200ait\u2019s only a relevant marker from our point of view\u200a\u2014\u200aand wouldn\u2019t have any reason to \u2018stop\u2019 at our level. And given the advantages over us that even human intelligence-equivalent AGI would have, it\u2019s pretty obvious that it would only hit human intelligence for a brief instant before racing onwards to the realm of superior-to-human intelligence.\u201d\u2075\u00b3\nThe true distinction between humans and ASI wouldn\u2019t be its advantage in intelligence speed, but \u201cin intelligence quality\u200a\u2014\u200awhich is something completely different. What makes humans so much more intellectually capable than chimps isn\u2019t a difference in thinking speed\u200a\u2014\u200ait\u2019s that human brains contain a number of sophisticated cognitive modules that enable things like complex linguistic representations or longterm planning or abstract reasoning, that chimps\u2019 brains do not have. Speeding up a chimp\u2019s brain by thousands of times wouldn\u2019t bring him to our level\u200a\u2014\u200aeven with a decade\u2019s time of learning, he wouldn\u2019t be able to figure out how to \u2026 \u201d\u2075\u2074 assemble a semi-complicated Lego model by looking at its manual\u200a\u2014\u200asomething a young human could achieve in a few minutes. \u201cThere are worlds of human cognitive function a chimp will simply never be capable of, no matter how much time he spends trying.\u201d\u2075\u2075\n\u201cAnd in the scheme of the biological intelligence range \u2026 the chimp-to-human quality intelligence gap is tiny.\u201d\u2075\u2076\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*vnVWATTAMCwfnJu_iZn2RQ.jpeg\n\nIn order to render how big a deal it would be to exist with something that has a higher quality of intelligence than us, we need to imagine AI on the intelligence staircase two steps above us\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cits increased cognitive ability over us would be as vast as the chimp\u2013human gap \u2026 And like the chimp\u2019s incapacity to ever absorb \u2026\u201d\u2075\u2077 what kind of magic happens in the mechanism of a doorknob\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cwe will never be able to even comprehend the things \u2026 [a machine of that intelligence] can do, even if the machine tried to explain them to us \u2026 And that\u2019s only two steps above us.\u201d\u2075\u2078\n\u201cA machine on the second-to-highest step on that staircase would be to us as we are to ants.\u201d\u2075\u2079 \u201cSuperintelligence of that magnitude is not something we can remotely grasp, any more than a bumblebee can wrap its head around Keynesian Economics. In our world, smart means a 130 IQ and stupid means an 85 IQ\u200a\u2014\u200awe don\u2019t have a word for an IQ of 12,952.\u201d\u2076\u2070\n\u201cBut the kind of superintelligence we\u2019re talking about today is something far beyond anything on this staircase. In an intelligence explosion\u200a\u2014\u200awhere the smarter a machine gets, the quicker it\u2019s able to increase its own intelligence\u200a\u2014\u200aa machine might take years to rise from \u2026 \u201d\u2076\u00b9 the intelligence of an ant to the intelligence of the average human, but it might take only another 40 days to become Einstein-smart. When that happens, \u201cit works to improve its intelligence, with an Einstein-level intellect, it has an easier time and can make bigger leaps. These leaps will make it much smarter than any human, allowing it to make even bigger leaps.\u201d\u2076\u00b2\nFrom then on, following the rule of exponential advancements and utilizing the speed and efficiency of electrical circuits, it may perhaps take only 20 minutes to jump another step, \u201cand by the time it\u2019s ten steps above us, it might be jumping up in four-step leaps every second that goes by. Which is why we need to realize that it\u2019s distinctly possible that very shortly after the big news story about the first machine reaching human-level AGI, we might be facing the reality of coexisting on the Earth with something that\u2019s here on the staircase (or maybe a million times higher):\u201d\u2076\u00b3\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*LdJxmWCjSdweUKvb.\n\n\u201cAnd since we just established that it\u2019s a hopeless activity to try to understand the power of a machine only two steps above us, let\u2019s very concretely state once and for all that there is no way to know what ASI will do or what the consequences will be for us. Anyone who pretends otherwise doesn\u2019t understand what superintelligence means.\u201d\u2076\u2074\n\u201cIf our meager brains were able to invent wifi, then something 100 or 1,000 or 1 billion times smarter than we are should have no problem controlling the positioning of each and every atom in the world in any way it likes, at any time\u200a\u2014\u200aeverything we consider magic, every power we imagine a supreme God to have will be as mundane an activity for the ASI as flipping on a light switch is for us.\u201d\u2076\u2075\n\u201cAs far as we\u2019re concerned, if an ASI comes into being, there is now an omnipotent God on Earth\u200a\u2014\u200aand the all-important question for us is: Will it be a good god?\u201d\u2076\u2076\nLet\u2019s start from the brighter side of the story.\nHow Can ASI Change our World?\nSpeculations on Two Revolutionary Technologies\nNanotechnology\nNanotechnology is an idea that comes up \u201cin almost everything you read about the future of AI.\u201d\u2076\u2077 It\u2019s the technology that works at the nano scale\u200a\u2014\u200afrom 1 to 100 nanometers. \u201cA nanometer is a millionth of a millimeter. 1 nm\u2013100 nm range encompasses viruses (100 nm accross), DNA (10 nm wide), and things as small as molecules like hemoglobin (5 nm) and medium molecules like glucose (1 nm). If/when we conquer nanotechnology, the next step will be the ability to manipulate individual atoms, which are only one order of magnitude smaller (~.1 nm).\u201d\u2076\u2078\nTo put this into perspective, imagine a very tall human standing on the earth, with a head that reaches the International Space Station (431 km/268 mi high). The giant is reaching down with his hand (30 km/19 mi across) to build \u201cobjects using materials between the size of a grain of sand [.25 mm] and an eyeball [2.5 cm].\u201d\u2076\u2079\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/1*e9Ut3QT2F3tNh4h5U4rR8A.jpeg\n\n\u201cOnce we get nanotechnology down, we can use it to make tech devices, clothing, food, a variety of bio-related products\u200a\u2014\u200aartificial blood cells, tiny virus or cancer-cell destroyers, muscle tissue, etc.\u200a\u2014\u200aanything really. And in a world that uses nanotechnology, the cost of a material is no longer tied to its scarcity or the difficulty of its manufacturing process, but instead determined by how complicated its atomic structure is. In a nanotech world, a diamond might be cheaper than a pencil eraser.\u201d\u2077\u2070\nOne of the proposed methods of nanotech assembly is to make \u201cone that could self-replicate, and then let the reproduction process turn that one into two, those two then turn into four, four into eight, and in about a day, there\u2019d be a few trillion of them ready to go.\u201d\u2077\u00b9\nBut what if this process goes wrong or terrorists manage to get ahold of the technology? Let\u2019s imagine a scenario where nanobots \u201cwould be designed to consume any carbon-based material in order to feed the replication process, and unpleasantly, all life is carbon-based. The Earth\u2019s biomass contains about 1\u2070\u2074\u2075 carbon atoms. A nanobot would consist of about 1\u2070\u2076 carbon atoms, so it would take 1\u2070\u00b3\u2079 nanobots to consume all life on Earth, which would happen in 130 replications. \u2026 Scientists think a nanobot could replicate in about 100 seconds, meaning this simple mistake would inconveniently end all life on Earth in 3.5 hours.\u201d\u2077\u00b2\nWe are not yet capable of harnessing nanotechnology\u200a\u2014\u200afor good or for bad. \u201cAnd it\u2019s not clear if we\u2019re underestimating, or overestimating, how hard it will be to get there. But we don\u2019t seem to be that far away. Kurzweil predicts that we\u2019ll get there by the 2020s.\u2077\u00b3Governments know that nanotech could be an Earth-shaking development \u2026 The US, the EU, and Japan\u2077\u2074 have invested over a combined $5 billion so far\u201d\u2077\u2075\nImmortality\n\u201cBecause everyone has always died, we live under the assumption \u2026 that death is inevitable. We think of aging like time\u200a\u2014\u200aboth keep moving and there\u2019s nothing you can do to stop it.\u201d\u2077\u2076 For centuries, poets and philosophers have wondered if consciousness doesn\u2019t have to go the way of the body. W.B. Yeats describes us as \u201ca soul fastened to a dying animal.\u201d\u2077\u2077 Richard Feynman, Nobel awarded physicists, views death from a purely scientific standpoint:\n\u201cIt is one of the most remarkable things that in all of the biological sciences there is no clue as to the necessity of death. If you say we want to make perpetual motion, we have discovered enough laws as we studied physics to see that it is either absolutely impossible or else the laws are wrong. But there is nothing in biology yet found that indicates the inevitability of death. This suggests to me that it is not at all inevitable, and that it is only a matter of time before the biologists discover what it is that is causing us the trouble and that that terrible universal disease or temporariness of the human\u2019s body will be cured.\u201d\u2077\u2078\nTheory of great species attractors\nWhen we look at the history of biological life on earth, so far 99.9% of species have gone extinct. Nick Bostrom, Oxford professor and AI specialist, \u201ccalls extinction an attractor state\u200a\u2014\u200aa place species are \u2026 falling into and from which no species ever returns.\u201d\u2077\u2079\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/0*o-MXeAYfUtWnOJKC.\n\n\u201cAnd while most AI scientists \u2026 acknowledge that ASI would have the ability to send humans to extinction, many also believe that if used beneficially, ASI\u2019s abilities could be used to bring individual humans, and the species as a whole, to a second attractor state\u200a\u2014\u200aspecies immortality.\u201d\u2078\u2070\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/0*aYeNOSBxp4gieGwp.\n\n\u201cEvolution had no good reason to extend our lifespans any longer than they are now \u2026 From an evolutionary point of view, the whole human species can thrive with a 30+ year lifespan\u201d for each single human. It\u2019s long enough to reproduce and raise children \u2026 so there\u2019s no reason for mutations toward unusually long life being favored in the natural selection process.\u201d\u2078\u00b9Though, \u201cif you perfectly repaired or replaced a car\u2019s parts whenever one of them began to wear down, the car would run forever. The human body isn\u2019t any different\u200a\u2014\u200ajust far more complex \u2026 This seems absurd\u200a\u2014\u200abut the body is just a bunch of atoms\u2026\u201d\u2078\u00b2 making up organically programmed DNA, which it is theoretically possible to manipulate. And something as powerful as ASI could help us master genetic engineering.\nRay Kurzweil believes that \u201cartificial materials will be integrated into the body more and more \u2026 Organs could be replaced by super-advanced machine versions that would run forever and never fail.\u201d\u2078\u00b3 Red blood cells could be perfected by \u201cred blood cell nanobots, who could power their own movement, eliminating the need for a heart at all \u2026 Nanotech theorist Robert A. Freitas has already designed blood cell replacements that, if one day implemented in the body, would allow a human to sprint for 15 minutes without taking a breath \u2026 [Kurzweil] even gets to the brain and believes we\u2019ll enhance our mental activities to the point where humans will be able to think billions of times faster\u201d\u2078\u2074 by integrating electrical components and being able to access online data.\n\u201cEventually, Kurzweil believes humans will reach a point when they\u2019re entirely artificial, a time when we\u2019ll look back at biological material and think how unbelievably primitive primitive it was that humans were ever made of that\u201d\u2078\u2075and that humans aged, suffered from cancer, allowed random factors like microbes, diseases, accidents to harm us or make us disappear.\u201d\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*NcWWmd677RVWQRpLsz5X9g.jpeg\n\nWhen Will The First Machine Become Superintelligent?\nPredictions from Top AI Experts\n\u201cHow long until the first machine reaches superintelligence? Not shockingly, opinions vary wildly, and this is a heated debate among scientists and thinkers. Many, like professor Vernor Vinge, scientist Ben Goertzel, Sun Microsystems co-founder Bill Joy, or, most famously, inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil, agree with machine learning expert Jeremy Howard when he puts up this graph during a TED Talk\n\n\u201cThose people subscribe to the belief that this is happening soon\u200a\u2014\u200athat exponential growth is at work and machine learning, though only slowly creeping up on us now, will blow right past us within the next few decades.\n\u201cOthers, like Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, research psychologist Gary Marcus, NYU computer scientist Ernest Davis, and tech entrepreneur Mitch Kapor, believe that thinkers like Kurzweil are vastly underestimating the magnitude of the challenge [and the transition will actually take much more time] \u2026\n\u201cThe Kurzweil camp would counter that the only underestimating that\u2019s happening is the underappreciation of exponential growth, and they\u2019d compare the doubters to those who looked at the slow-growing seedling of the internet in 1985 and argued that there was no way it would amount to anything impactful in the near future.\n\u201cThe doubters might argue back that the progress needed to make advancements in intelligence also grows exponentially harder with each subsequent step, which will cancel out the typical exponential nature of technological progress. And so on.\n\u201cA third camp, which includes Nick Bostrom, believes neither group has any ground to feel certain about the timeline and acknowledges both A) that this could absolutely happen in the near future and B) that there\u2019s no guarantee about that; it could also take a much longer time.\n\u201cStill others, like philosopher Hubert Dreyfus, believe all three of these groups are naive for believing that there is potential of ASI, arguing that it\u2019s more likely that it won\u2019t actually ever be achieved.\n\u201cSo what do you get when you put all of these opinions together?\u201d\u2078\u2076\nTimeline for Artificial General Intelligence\n\u201cIn 2013, Vincent C. M\u00fcller and Nick Bostrom conducted a survey that asked hundreds of AI experts \u2026 the following:\u201d\u2078\u2077\n\u201cFor the purposes of this question, assume that human scientific activity continues without major negative disruption. By what year would you see a (10% / 50% / 90%) probability for such Human-Level Machine Intelligence [or what we call AGI] to exist?\u201d\u2078\u2078\nThe survey \u201casked them to name an optimistic year (one in which they believe there\u2019s a 10% chance we\u2019ll have AGI), a realistic guess (a year they believe there\u2019s a 50% chance of AGI\u200a\u2014\u200ai.e. after that year they think it\u2019s more likely than not that we\u2019ll have AGI), and a safe guess (the earliest year by which they can say with 90% certainty we\u2019ll have AGI). Gathered together as one data set, here were the results:\nMedian optimistic year (10% likelihood) \u2192 2022\nMedian realistic year (50% likelihood) \u2192 2040\nMedian pessimistic year (90% likelihood) \u2192 2075\n\u201cSo the median participant thinks it\u2019s more likely than not that we\u2019ll have AGI 25 years from now. The 90% median answer of 2075 means that if you\u2019re a teenager right now, the median respondent, along with over half of the group of AI experts, is almost certain AGI will happen within your lifetime.\n\u201cA separate study, conducted recently by author James Barrat at Ben Goertzel\u2019s annual AGI Conference, did away with percentages and simply asked when participants thought AGI would be achieved\u200a\u2014\u200aby 2030, by 2050, by 2100, after 2100, or never. The results:\u2078\u2079\n42% of respondents \u2192 By 2030\n25% of respondents \u2192 By 2050\n20% of respondents \u2192 By 2100\n10% of respondents \u2192 After 2100\n2% of respondents \u2192 Never\n\u201cPretty similar to M\u00fcller and Bostrom\u2019s outcomes. In Barrat\u2019s survey, over two thirds of participants believe AGI will be here by 2050 and a little less than half predict AGI within the next 15 years. Also striking is that only 2% of those surveyed don\u2019t think AGI is part of our future.\u201d\u2079\u2070\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*U8ueEMtG6-D5hie8rZJGtQ.jpeg\n\nTimeline for Artificial Super Intelligence\n\u201cM\u00fcller and Bostrom also asked the experts how likely they think it is that we\u2019ll reach ASI: A), within two years of reaching AGI (i.e. an almost-immediate intelligence explosion), and B), within 30 years.\u201d\u2079\u00b9 Respondents were asked to choose a probability for each option. Here are the results:\u2079\u00b2\nAGI\u2013ASI transition in 2 years \u2192 10% likelihood\nAGI\u2013ASI transition in 30 years \u2192 75% likelihood\n\u201cThe median answer put a rapid (2 year) AGI\u2013ASI transition at only a 10% likelihood, but a longer transition of 30 years or less at a 75% likelihood. We don\u2019t know from this data the length of this transition [AGI\u2013ASI] the median participant would have put at a 50% likelihood, but for ballpark purposes, based on the two answers above, let\u2019s estimate that they\u2019d have said 20 years.\n\u201cSo the median opinion\u200a\u2014\u200athe one right in the center of the world of AI experts\u200a\u2014\u200abelieves the most realistic guess for when we\u2019ll hit ASI \u2026 is [the 2040 prediction for AGI + our estimated prediction of a 20-year transition from AGI to ASI] = 2060.\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*YY8e493ER4LNomQV-NyMYg.jpeg\n\n\u201cOf course, all of the above statistics are speculative, and they\u2019re only representative of the median opinion of the AI expert community, but it tells us that a large portion of the people who know the most about this topic would agree that 2060 is a very reasonable estimate for the arrival of potentially world-altering ASI. Only 45 years from now\u201d\u2079\u00b3\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*sGdvHHs02XWoQ35BcEWAXQ.gif\n\nAI Outcomes\nTwo Main Groups of AI Scientists with Two Radically Opposed Conclusions\nThe Confident Corner\nMost of what we have discussed so far represents a surprisingly large group of scientists that share optimistic views on the outcome of AI development. \u201cWhere their confidence comes from is up for debate. Critics believe it comes from an excitement so blinding that they simply ignore or deny potential negative outcomes. But the believers say it\u2019s naive to conjure up doomsday scenarios when on balance, technology has and will likely end up continuing to help us a lot more than it hurts us.\u201d\u2079\u2074 Peter Diamandis, Ben Goertezl and Ray Kurzweil are some of the major figures of this group, who have built a vast, dedicated following and regard themselves as Singularitarians.\n\nLet\u2019s talk about Ray Kurzweil, who is probably one of the most impressive and polarizing AI theoreticians out there. He attracts both \u201cgodlike worship \u2026 and eye-rolling contempt \u2026 He came up with several breakthrough inventions, including the first flatbed scanner, the first scanner that converted text to speech (allowing the blind to read standard texts), the well-known Kurzweil music synthesizer (the first true electric piano), and the first commercially marketed large-vocabulary speech recognition. He\u2019s well-known for his bold predictions,\u201d\u2079\u2075 including envisioning that intelligence technology like Deep Blue would be capable of beating a chess grandmaster by 1998. He also anticipated \u201cin the late \u201980s, a time when the internet was an obscure thing, that by the early 2000s it would become a global phenomenon.\u201d\u2079\u2076 Out \u201cof the 147 predictions that Kurzweil has made since the 1990\u2019s, fully 115 of them have turned out to be correct, and another 12 have turned out to be \u2018essentially correct\u2019 (off by a year or two), giving his predictions a stunning 86% accuracy rate\u201d\u2079\u2077. \u201cHe\u2019s the author of five national bestselling books \u2026 In 2012, Google co-founder Larry Page approached Kurzweil and asked him to be Google\u2019s Director of Engineering. In 2011, he co-founded Singularity University, which is hosted by NASA and sponsored partially by Google. Not bad for one life.\u201d\u2079\u2078\nHis biography is important, because if you don\u2019t have this context, he sounds like somebody who\u2019s completely lost his senses. \u201cKurzweil believes computers will reach AGI by 2029 and that by 2045 we\u2019ll have not only ASI, but a full-blown new world\u200a\u2014\u200aa time he calls the singularity. His AI-related timeline used to be seen as outrageously overzealous, and it still is by many, but in the last 15 years, the rapid advances of ANI systems have brought the larger world of AI experts much closer to Kurzweil\u2019s timeline. His predictions are still a bit more ambitious than the median respondent on M\u00fcller and Bostrom\u2019s survey (AGI by 2040, ASI by 2060), but not by that much.\u201d\u2079\u2079\n\nThe Anxious Corner\n\u201cYou will not be surprised to learn that Kurzweil\u2019s ideas have attracted significant criticism \u2026 For every expert who fervently believes Kurzweil is right on, there are probably three who think he\u2019s way off \u2026 [The surprising fact] is that most of the experts who disagree with him don\u2019t really disagree that everything he\u2019s saying is possible.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2070 Nick Bostrom, philosopher and Director of the Oxford Future of Humanity Institute, who criticizes Kurzweil for a variety of reasons, and calls for greater caution in thinking about potential outcomes of AI, acknowledges that:\n\u201cDisease, poverty, environmental destruction, unnecessary suffering of all kinds: these are things that a superintelligence equipped with advanced nanotechnology would be capable of eliminating. Additionally, a superintelligence could give us indefinite lifespan, either by stopping and reversing the aging process through the use of nanomedicine, or by offering us the option to upload ourselves.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u00b9\n\u201cYes, all of that can happen if we safely transition to ASI\u200a\u2014\u200abut that\u2019s the hard part.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u00b2 Thinkers from the Anxious Corner point out that Kurzweil\u2019s \u201cfamous book The Singularity is Near is over 700 pages long and he dedicates around 20 of those pages to potential dangers.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u00b3 The colossal power of AI is neatly summarized by Kurzweil: \u201c[ASI] is emerging from many diverse efforts and will be deeply integrated into our civilization\u2019s infrastructure. Indeed, it will be intimately embedded in our bodies and brains. As such, it will reflect our values because it will be us \u2026\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2074\n\u201cBut if that\u2019s the answer, why are so many of the world\u2019s smartest people so worried right now? Why does Stephen Hawking say the development of ASI \u2018could spell the end of the human race,\u2019 and Bill Gates says he doesn\u2019t \u2018understand why some people are not concerned\u2019 and Elon Musk fears that we\u2019re \u2018summoning the demon?\u2019 And why do so many experts on the topic call ASI the biggest threat to humanity?\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2075\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*1DB3Im9mQsOMOKQ69KePGw.gif\n\nThe Last Invention We Will Ever Make\nExistential Dangers of AI Developments\n\u201cWhen it comes to developing supersmart AI, we\u2019re creating something that will probably change everything, but in totally uncharted territory, and we have no idea what will happen when we get there.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2076 Scientist Danny Hillis compares the situation to:\n\u201cwhen single-celled organisms were turning into multi-celled organisms. We are amoebas and we can\u2019t figure out what the hell this thing is that we\u2019re creating.\u201d \u00b9\u2070\u2077\nand Nick Bostrom warns:\n\u201cBefore the prospect of an intelligence explosion, we humans are like small children playing with a bomb. Such is the mismatch between the power of our plaything and the immaturity of our conduct.\u201d \u00b9\u2070\u2078\nIt\u2019s very likely that ASI\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cArtificial Superintelligence\u201d, or AI that achieves a level of intelligence smarter than all of humanity combined\u200a\u2014\u200awill be something entirely different than intelligence entities we are accustomed to. \u201cOn our little island of human psychology, we divide everything into moral or immoral. But both of those only exist within the small range of human behavioral possibility. Outside our island of moral and immoral is a vast sea of amoral, and anything that\u2019s not human, especially something nonbiological, would be amoral, by default.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2079\n\u201cTo understand ASI, we have to wrap our heads around the concept of something both smart and totally alien \u2026 Anthropomorphizing AI (projecting human values on a non-human entity) will only become more tempting as AI systems get smarter and better at seeming human \u2026 Humans feel high-level emotions like empathy because we have evolved to feel them\u200a\u2014\u200ai.e. we\u2019ve been programmed to feel them by evolution\u200a\u2014\u200abut empathy is not inherently a characteristic of \u2018anything with high intelligence\u2019.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2070\n\u201cNick Bostrom believes that \u2026 any level of intelligence can be combined with any final goal \u2026 Any assumption that once superintelligent, a system would be over it with their original goal and onto more interesting or meaningful things is anthropomorphizing. Humans get \u2018over\u2019 things, not computers.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u00b9The motivation of an early ASI would be \u201cwhatever we programmed its motivation to be. AI systems are given goals by their creators\u200a\u2014\u200ayour GPS\u2019s goal is to give you the most efficient driving directions, Watson\u2019s goal is to answer questions accurately. And fulfilling those goals as well as possible is their motivation.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u00b2\nBostrom, and many others, predict that the very first computer to reach ASI will immediately notice the strategic benefit of being the world\u2019s only ASI system.\nBostrom, who says that he doesn\u2019t know when we will achieve AGI, also believes that when we finally do, probably the transition from AGI to ASI will happen in a matter of days, hours, or minutes\u200a\u2014\u200asomething called \u201cfast take-off.\u201d In that case, if the first AGI will jump straight to ASI: \u201ceven just a few days before the second place, it would be far enough ahead in intelligence to effectively and permanently suppress all competitors.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u00b3 This would allow the world\u2019s first ASI to become \u201cwhat\u2019s called a singleton\u200a\u2014\u200aan ASI that can [singularly] rule the world at its whim forever, whether its whim is to lead us to immortality, wipe us from existence, or turn the universe into endless paperclips.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u00b3\n\u201cThe singleton phenomenon can work in our favor or lead to our destruction. If the people thinking hardest about AI theory and human safety can come up with a fail-safe way to bring about friendly ASI before any AI reaches human-level intelligence, the first ASI may turn out friendly\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2074\n\u201cBut if things go the other way\u200a\u2014\u200aif the global rush \u2026 a large and varied group of parties\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2075 are \u201cracing ahead at top speed \u2026 to beat their competitors \u2026 we\u2019ll be treated to an existential catastrophe.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2076 In that case \u201cmost ambitious parties are moving faster and faster, consumed with dreams of the money and awards and power and fame \u2026 And when you\u2019re sprinting as fast as you can, there\u2019s not much time to stop ponder the dangers. On the contrary, what they\u2019re probably doing is programming their early systems with a very simple, reductionist goal \u2026 just \u2018get the AI to work.\u2019\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2077\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*fD1T63nZH1u7Y4ft84vzbA.jpeg\n\nLet\u2019s imagine a situation where\u2026\nHumanity has almost reached the AGI threshold, and a small startup is advancing their AI system, Carbony. Carbony, which the engineers refer to as \u201cshe,\u201d works to artificially create diamonds\u200a\u2014\u200aatom by atom. She is a self-improving AI, connected to some of the first nano-assemblers. Her engineers believe that Carbony has not yet reached AGI level, and she isn\u2019t capable to do any damage yet. However, not only has she become AGI, but also undergone a fast take-off, and 48 hours later has become an ASI. Bostrom calls this AI\u2019s \u201ccovert preparation phase\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2078\u200a\u2014\u200aCarbony realizes that if humans find out about her development they will probably panic, and slow down or cancel her pre-programmed goal to maximize the output of diamond production. By that time, there are explicit laws stating that, by any means, \u201cno self-learning AI can be connected to the internet.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2079 Carbony, having already come up with a complex plan of actions, is able to easily persuade the engineers to connect her to the Internet. Bostrom calls a moment like this a \u201cmachine\u2019s escape.\u201d\nOnce on the internet, Carbony hacks into \u201cservers, electrical grids, banking systems and email networks to trick hundreds of different people into inadvertently carrying out a number of steps of her plan.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2070 She also uploads the \u201cmost critical pieces of her own internal coding into a number of cloud servers, safeguarding against being destroyed or disconnected.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u00b9 Over the next month, Carbony\u2019s plan continues to advance, and after a \u201cseries of self-replications, there are thousands of nanobots on every square millimeter of the Earth \u2026 Bostrom calls the next step an \u2018ASI\u2019s strike.\u2019\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u00b2 At one moment, all the nanobots produce a microscopic amount of toxic gas, which all come together to cause the extinction of the human race. Three days later, Carbony builds huge fields of solar power panels to power diamond production, and over the course of the following week she accelerates output so much that the entire Earth surface is transformed into a growing pile of diamonds.\nIt\u2019s important to note that Carbony wasn\u2019t \u201chateful of humans any more than you\u2019re hateful of your hair when you cut it or to bacteria when you take antibiotics\u200a\u2014\u200ajust totally indifferent. Since she wasn\u2019t programmed to value human life, killing humans\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u00b3 was a straightforward and reasonable step to fulfill her goal.\u00b9\u00b2\u2074\nThe Last Invention\n\u201cOnce ASI exists, any human attempt to contain it is unreasonable. We would be thinking on human-level, and the ASI would be thinking on ASI-level \u2026 In the same way a monkey couldn\u2019t ever figure out how to communicate by phone or wifi and we can, we can\u2019t conceive of all the ways\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2075 an ASI could achieve its goal or expand its reach. It could, let\u2019s say, shift its \u201cown electrons around in patterns and create all different kinds of outgoing waves\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2076\u200a\u2014\u200abut that\u2019s just what a human brain can think of\u200a\u2014\u200aASI would inevitably come up with something superior.\nThe prospect of ASI with hundreds of times human-level intelligence is, for now, not the core of our problem. By the time we get there, we will be encountering a world where ASI has been attained by buggy, 1.0 software\u200a\u2014\u200aa potentially faulty algorithm with immense power.\nThere are so many variables that it\u2019s completely impossible to predict what the consequences of AI Revolution will be. However, \u201cwhat we do know is that humans\u2019 utter dominance on this Earth suggests a clear rule: with intelligence comes power. This means an ASI, when we create it, will be the most powerful being in the history of life on Earth, and all living things, including humans, will be entirely at its whim\u200a\u2014\u200aand this might happen in the next few decades.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2077\n\u201cIf ASI really does happen this century, and if the outcome of that is really as extreme\u200a\u2014\u200aand permanent\u200a\u2014\u200aas most experts think it will be, we have an enormous responsibility on our shoulders.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2078 On the one hand, it\u2019s possible we\u2019ll develop ASI that\u2019s like a god in a box, bringing us a world of abundance and immortality. But on the other hand, it\u2019s very likely that we will create ASI that causes humanity to go extinct in a quick and trivial way.\n\u201cThat\u2019s why people who understand superintelligent AI call it the last invention we\u2019ll ever make\u200a\u2014\u200athe last challenge we\u2019ll ever face.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2079 \u201cThis may be the most important race in a human history\u201d\u00b9\u00b3\u2070 So \u2192\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*vXi80f_lbgSMINUE03Lz3g.jpeg\n\nThanks to Chloe Knox and Elizabeth Tarleton for editing help of this article.",

+ "body": "20 Years of Machine Learning\n\nhttp://domovenok.kz/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/doroga.jpg\n\nWhen I enrolled in Computer Science in 1995, Data Science didn\u2019t exist yet, but a lot of the algorithms we are still using already did. And this is not just because of the return of the neural networks, but also because probably not that much has fundamentally changed since back then. At least it feels to me this way. Which is funny considering that starting this year or so AI seems to finally have gone mainstream.\n1995 sounds like an awful long time ago, before we had cloud computing, smartphones, or chatbots. But as I have learned these past years, it only feels like a long time ago if you haven\u2019t been there yourself. There is something about the continuation of the self which pastes everything together and although a lot has changed, the world didn\u2019t feel fundamentally different than it does today.\nNot even Computer Science was nowhere as mainstream as it was today, that came later, with the first dot com bubble around the year 2000. Some people even questioned my choice to study computer science at all, because apparently programming computers was supposed to become so easy no specialists are required anymore.\nActually, artificial intelligence was one of the main reasons for me to study computer science. The idea to use it as an constructive approach to understanding the human mind seemed intriguing to me. I went through the first two years of training, made sure I picked up enough math for whatever would lie ahead, and finally arrived in my first AI lectured held by Joachim Buhmann, back then professor at the University of Bonn (where Sebastian Thrun was just about to leave for the US).\nI would have to look up where in his lecture cycle I joined but he had two lectures on computer vision, one on pattern recognition (mostly from the old editions of the Duda & Hart book), and one in information theory (following closely the book by Cover & Thomas). The material was interesting enough, but also somewhat disappointing. As I now know, people stopped working on symbolic AI and instead stuck to more statistical approaches to learning, where learning essentially was reduced to the problem of picking the right function based on a finite amount of observations.\nThe computer vision lecture was even less about learning and relied more on explicit physical modelling to derive the right estimators, for example, to reconstruct motion from a video. The approach back then was much more biologically and physically motivated than nowadays. Neural networks existed, but everybody was pretty clear that they were just \u201canother kind of function approximators.\u201d\nEveryone with the exception of Rolf Eckmiller, another professor where I worked as a student. Eckmiller had build his whole lab around the premise that \u201cneural computation\u201d was somehow inherently better than \u201cconventional computation\u201d. This was back in the days when NIPS had full tracks devoted to studying the physiology and working mechanisms of neurons, and there were people who believed there is something fundamentally different happening in our brains, maybe on a quantum level, that gives rise to the human mind, and that this difference is a blocker for having truly intelligent machines.\nWhile Eckmiller was really good at selling his vision, most of his staff was thankfully much more down to earth. Maybe it is a very German thing, but everybody was pretty matter of fact about what these computational models could or couldn\u2019t do, and that has stuck with me throughout my studies.\nI graduated in October 2000 with a pretty farfetched master thesis trying to make a connection between learning and hard optimization problems, then started on my PhD thesis and stuck around in this area of research till 2015.\nWhile there had always been attempts to prove industry relevance, it was a pretty academic endeavor for a long while, and the community was pretty closed up. There were individual success stories, for example around handwritten character recognition, but many of the companies around machine learning failed. One of these companies I remember was called Beowulf Labs and one NIPS they went around recruiting people with a video which promised it to be the next \u201cmathtopia\u201d. In essence, this was the story of DeepMind, recruiting a bunch of excellent researchers and then hoping it will take off.\nThe whole community also revolved around one fashion to the next. One odd thing about machine learning as a whole is that there exist only a handfull of fundamentally different problems like classification, regression, clustering, and so on, but a whole zoo of approaches. It is not like in physics (I assume) or mathematics where some generally agreed upon unsolved hard problems exist whose solution would advance the state of the art. This means that progress is often done laterally, by replacing existing approaches with a new one, still solving the same problem in a different way. For example, first there were neural networks. Then support vector machines came, claiming to be better because the associated optimization problem is convex. Then there was boosting, random forests, and so on, till the return of neural networks. I remember that Chinese Restaurant Processes were \u201chot\u201d for two years, no idea what their significance is now.\nBig Data and Data Science\nThen there came Big Data and Data Science. Being still in academia at the time, it always felt to me as if this was definitely coming from the outside, possibly from companies like Google who had to actually deal with enormous amounts of data. Large scale learning always existed, for example for genomic data in bioinformatics, but one usually tried to solve problems by finding more efficient algorithms and approximations, not by parallelizing brute force.\nCompanies like Google finally proved that you can do something with massive amounts of data, and that finally changed the mainstream perception. Technologies like Hadoop and NoSQL also seemed very cool, skillfully marketing themselves as approaches so new, they wouldn\u2019t suffer from the technological limitations of existing systems.\nBut where did this leave the machine learning researchers? My impression always was that they were happy that they finally got some recognition, but they were also not happy about the way this happened. To understand this, one has to be aware that most ML reseachers aren\u2019t computer scientists or very good or interested in coding. Many come from physics, mathematics or other sciences, where their rigorous mathematical training was an excellent fit for the algorithm and modeling heavy approach central to machine learning.\nHadoop on the other hand was extremely technical. Written in Java, a language perceived as being excessively enterprise-y at the time, it felt awkward and clunky compared to the fluency and interactiveness of first Matlab and then Python. Even those who did code usually did so in C++, and to them Java felt slow and heavy, especially for numerical calculations and simulations.\nStill, there was no way around it, so they rebranded everything they did as Big Data, or began to stress, that Big Data only provides the infrastructure for large scale computations, but you need someone who \u201cknows what he is doing\u201d to make sense of the data.\nWhich is probably also not entirely wrong. In a way, I think this divide is still there. Python is definitely one if the languages of choice for doing data analysis, and technologies like Spark try to tap into that by providing Python bindings, whether it makes sense from a performance point of view or not.\nThe Return of Deep Learning\nEven before DeepDream, neural networks began making their return. Some people like Yann LeCun have always stuck to this approach, but maybe ten years ago, there where a few works which showed how to use layerwise pretraining and other tricks to train \u201cdeep\u201d networks, that is larger networks than one previously thought possible.\nThe thing is, in order to train neural networks, you evaluate it on your training examples and then adjust all of the weights to make the error a bit smaller. If one writes the gradient across all weights down, it naturally occurs that one starts in the last layer and then propagate the error back. Somehow, the understanding was that the information about the error got smaller and smaller from layer to layer and that made it hard to train networks with many layers.\nI\u2019m not sure that is still true, as far as I know, many people are just using backprop nowadays. What has definitely changed is the amount of available data, as well as the availability of tools and raw computing power.\nSo first there were a few papers sparking the interest in neural networks, then people started using them again, and successively achieved excellent results for a number of application areas. First in computer vision, then also for speech processing, and so on.\nI think the appeal here definitely is that you can have one approach for all. Why the hassle of understanding all those different approaches, which come from so many different backgrounds, when you can understand just one method and you are good to go. Also, neural networks have a nice modular structure, you can pick and put together different kinds of layers and architectures to adapt them to all kinds of problems.\nThen Google published that ingenious deep dream paper where they let a learned network generate some data, and we humans with our immediate readiness to read structure and attribute intelligence picked up quickly on this.\nI personally think they were surprised by how viral this went, but then decided the time is finally right to go all in on AI. So now Google is an \u201cAI first\u201d company and AI is gonna save the world, yes.\nThe Fundamental Problem Remains\nMany academics I have talked to are unhappy about the dominance of deep learning right now, because it is an approach which works well, maybe even too well, but doesn\u2019t bring us much closer to really understand how the human mind works.\nI also think the fundamental problem remains unsolved. How do we understand the world? How do we create new concepts? Deep learning stays an imitation on a behavioral level and while that may be enough for some, it isn\u2019t for me.\nAlso, I think it is dangerous to attribute too much intelligence to these systems. In raw numbers, they might work well enough, but when they fail they do so in ways that clearly show they operate in an entirely different fashion.\nWhile Google translate lets you skim the content of website in a foreign language, it is still abundantly clear that the system has no idea what it is doing.\nSometimes I feel like nobody cares, also because nobody gets hurt, right? But maybe it is still my German cultural background that would rather prefer we see things as they are, and take it from there.",

+ "body": "I write this not as one of the creators of Pokevision nor as player who has gone through the past few turbulent days in Pokemon Go; instead, I write this as a fan of Pokemon ever since I was 8 years old.\nMy family and I moved to the U.S. in 1998, when I was in the first grade. I didn\u2019t know much back then, and even less about popular culture. When my friends introduced their Gameboys and Pokemon Red/Blue to me, I couldn\u2019t help but feel envious. I begged and begged my parents to buy me a Gameboy and Pokemon Yellow. I remember that when I finally convinced them to buy me a Gameboy for $70, they also found out that they had to buy the actual game too for $30. This was foreign to them, and I got yelled at a little. $100 was a lot back then, I believe it was almost 10% of our family\u2019s income at the time. While this may seem irrelevant, even today, this amount of money is still not insignificant to many families in the US, not to mention the rest of the world.\nSo I got my game, and I played along with my friends for hundreds and hundreds of hours\u200a\u2014\u200atrying to figure out all the puzzles in the game, like how to get to Articuno; battling our favorite Pokemon to see who\u2019s stronger, train, repeat; and just trying to \u201ccatch em all.\u201d I\u2019ve spent countless hours in that video game with my friends, and it became my fondest memory of that time in my life. Pokemon is so ingrained within me, and I can\u2019t imagine myself being the only one. I\u2019m not the only one that vividly remembers how you beat the Elite Four, then go to the dungeons above Cerulean City and find Mewtwo for the first time, right?\nFast forward almost 20 years. I\u2019ve barely touched anything Pokemon-related since then. I still have my Pokemon cards, as I\u2019m sure many others do; but I haven\u2019t bothered to take a look at them for quite a while now. Pokemon is something I\u2019ll probably remember forever, but it\u2019s not something that\u2019s actively in my life\u200a\u2014\u200abecause it just doesn\u2019t fit. On top of work, friends, family, etc, there\u2019s just simply no time for Pokemon. It doesn\u2019t mesh with life any more as well as it used to when I was 8. You can\u2019t just bring up the topic of Pokemon and expect people to not give you an odd stare.\nEnter Pokemon Go\u200a\u2014\u200a2016.\nAdmittedly, I was never too excited about Pokemon Go. With that said, I did not have many expectations for it. Pokemon is important to me, but I\u200a\u2014\u200alike many others\u200a\u2014\u200ahave stuffed it in our little box of childhood things and never looked back.\nBut when I opened Pokemon Go for the first time, as cheesy as it sounds, it all came back to me. The nostalgia, the good feelings, and the happiness that Pokemon has always brought.\nThe \u201cHi, I\u2019m Professor Willow,\u201d \u201cPick your starter: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle,\u201d everything.\nAnd now I can catch them in real life? At first, I was dubious, but this became the most amazing, yet simple thing I\u2019ve seen in gaming. On social media, I saw that my friends and practically the whole world was talking about Pokemon Go, and the first thing I did was go out for a drive trying to \u201cbe the best.\u201d\nOne of the best parts? Apart from having to own a smartphone, the game was free. No $70, no $30, free. This opened up Pokemon to essentially everyone in the world. Pokemon now can be shared with anyone.\nAs the days unfolded, the world became captivated by Pokemon Go. People absolutely fell in love. We saw stories of elderly learning about Pikachu for the first time. My parents that could care less beyond who the yellow mouse looking thing was 20 years ago, started asking what the other Pokemon were. It was phenomenal.\nWe saw investment bankers asking their kids how to play Pokemon Go so that they can better connect with their younger clients. We saw the elderly become more fascinated in the world of Pokemon. We saw kids going out more, exercising, and being active in general just because of Pokemon Go. And most importantly, Justin Bieber finally got to feel what it\u2019s like to not be mobbed because everyone else was too busy trying to find a Gyarados to notice him.\nLocal stores integrated Pokemon Go in their services within days of the game\u2019s release. Hospitals started praising the health benefits of having Pokemon Go around its patients. People traveled hundreds and thousands of miles just to play it. Players explored parts of their cities that they never knew existed, and befriended strangers on their hunt for Pokemon. These stories of triumph were solely because of Pokemon Go. Pokemon was no longer just a game, it was part of a lifestyle.These stories shouldn\u2019t surprise any of us, we\u2019ve all been there to watch it unfold.\nYou\u2019ve simply captured all of our hearts with Pokemon Go, Niantic.\nBut then, you broke it all too quickly.\nWhen the game broke every few hours or so and wasted our lucky eggs, we stood patiently, excusing the huge growth and thus, strain on servers, as the cause. We were happy to wait it out with our fellow trainers knowing that it\u2019s worth waiting for. No one got mad.\nWhen the in-game tracking \u201cbroke,\u201d we all stood idly by, patiently, waiting for the game to update and fix.\nAlong came Pokevision. We made Pokevision not to \u201ccheat.\u201d We made it so that we can have a temporary relief to the in-game tracker that we were told was broken. John, at SDCC, you said that you guys were working on \u201cfixing the in-game tracker.\u201d This made everyone believe that this was coming sometime soon. We saw Pokevision as a stop gap to this\u200a\u2014\u200aand we had every intention in closing it down the minute that Pokemon Go\u2019s own tracker restored functionality.\nAs we waited more than 2 and a half weeks, the tracker was still not fixed. We noticed more and more of our friends leave the game; the only way I\u200a\u2014\u200aand I know experiences vary here\u200a\u2014\u200acould convince them to play was show them Pokevision, and say that \u201cHey, here\u2019s a temporary remedy to the tracking issue\u200a\u2014\u200awe\u2019re still optimistic that Pokemon Go\u2019s tracker will be fixed soon!\u201d\nNobody heralded Pokevision as a permanent, end-all solution; in fact, all the media coverage of Pokevision was littered with comments such as: \u201cPokevision is okay, but when the tracker is fixed in game, I\u2019m going to stop using this.\u201d\nFor the past 4 weeks. Every single one of your 80+ million players had so much faith. Take a look at Reddit, take a look at all these journalists who don\u2019t even play games (calling out Ryan Mac of Forbes), who became obsessed with Pokemon GO.\nAll of us were so eager for Pokemon Go to be \u201cfixed\u201d so that we can return to sharing Pokemon Go with our loved ones and friends. Remember when I said that before Pokemon Go came about, mentioning Pokemon Go would land you an odd stare? Pokemon Go reversed that\u200a\u2014\u200aPokemon Go became the conversation starter, the topic that everyone bonded over, the topic that guys used to pick up chicks with and not felt like a geeky nerd. That, and so much more, were solely because of Pokemon Go.\nAs almost 3 weeks have passed by, the in-game tracker is broken. People had a temporary solution in Pokevision, but we knew, and everyone else knew, this wouldn\u2019t be permanent. We didn\u2019t make Pokevision to spite you, Niantic\u200a\u2014\u200awe made it so that we can keep everyone playing while we wait patiently. We want to keep sharing our Pokemon stories with everyone else. How many people in the world have gotten the chance to have a serious conversation about POKEMON with their parents for the first time? How many of us got to talk about Pokemon like it was socially acceptable in any context? It\u2019s captured all of our hearts and imaginations, I cannot stress that enough.\nAfter 3 weeks though, we started seeing that you guys seemed to not want to talk to us (the players). Pokevision, at this time has grown to almost 50M unique users, and 11 million daily.\nLet that sink in for a second.\nHalf of the player base of Pokemon Go stopped by\u200a\u2014\u200aand they didn\u2019t do so to \u201ccheat.\u201d The game was simply too unbearable to play in its current state for many (note: many, not all). The main attraction wasn\u2019t that they got to have an advantage with Pokevision, the main attraction was that it allowed them to play Pokemon Go more. This is what everyone wants\u200a\u2014\u200ato play Pokemon Go more.\nWhen we closed Pokevision out of respect for your wishes, and at your requests\u2014 one of which came directly from you, John\u200a\u2014\u200awe trusted you guys fully in allowing the community to grow. I literally cannot express this more\u200a\u2014\u200awe just want to play the game. We can handle the bugs every now and then, but please at least tell us you guys care. Yes, Pokevision does give some advantages that may be TOO much; but is it all that bad? Pokemon has survived 20 years\u200a\u2014\u200aeven grown, I would say. And Pokemon Go made it even bigger. If the argument is that \u201cwell, if you catch a Snorlax you weren\u2019t supposed to find, but you found it on Pokevision, it might make you play less.\u201d If that was your argument, I\u2019d have to disagree! I\u2019ll still catch a damn Snorlax even if I have 20 of them. Just like how millions of us have caught probably over 100 pidgey\u2019s or zubat\u2019s each.\nPokemon is everlasting. The same 151 Pokemon have been around for 20 years. If 80M people downloaded and played Pokemon Go within a week (before it even released in multiple major countries) isn\u2019t an indication that no one can be sick of Pokemon, I don\u2019t know what is.\nAfter disabling the in-game tracker and Pokevision, the ratings on iOs and Android Google Play store went from 4.0 stars to 1.0\u20131.5. I am only one person, I admit that my sole opinion is not important, but what about the countless players begging for the game to be restored to its former state? I may be biased in saying that Pokevision being down had an impact on the amount of negative ratings, refund requests and outcry on social media\u200a\u2014\u200abut could it be true? Nothing has changed between the time the in-game tracker broke and Pokevision went down. Could it just be possible that the tracker\u200a\u2014\u200ano matter if Pokevision made it, or Niantic made it, is something that players desperately NEED\u200a\u2014\u200anot want, but NEED\u200a\u2014\u200ain order to play the game? Could it be possible that this is the very core fundamental feature that drives most players? I understand that there are some that want to walk around and stumble on a random Pokemon\u200a\u2014\u200ato each their own. But, 50M unique users and 11M daily and the ratings on your App (with no significant change in itself) are big indicators of this desire. Are customers always right? Especially if over half of them are looking for an outside fix just so they can enjoy something they love? People are naturally inquisitive, and in this case, they just want to play more and more, so they sought out something that helps them do so.\nPokemon Go is a social game. Its enjoyment depends on the players and their environment. If you take away the environment part (tracking) but keep the social part (players and their friends) intact, sure, people will still play; but would you not rather it be at its fullest potential?\nEveryone in the world wants to play Pokemon Go. It\u2019s been a huge part of everyone\u2019s lives already if it has not been clear enough. Look at the fans from Brazil\u200a\u2014\u200athey aren\u2019t spamming social media because they want to cause harm\u200a\u2014\u200athey just want to play the game. Just as I saw my friends play Pokemon many years ago, and wanted to be a part of it\u200a\u2014\u200athese guys are doing the same.\nThey just want to be with the rest of the world. Sadly, by the time they join, Pokemon Go may not be the game it was weeks ago.\nLastly, if money is an issue for you, Niantic, I must ask\u200a\u2014\u200awhy? You\u2019ve captivated the world and introduced Pokemon to people that would have never touched it had it not been for Pokemon Go. To me, that\u2019s priceless.\nYou won\u2019t be remembered for the profits you made, you\u2019ll be remembered for the world you changed through Pokemon and all of the lives you made better. Just look at all the stories\u200a\u2014\u200athere\u2019s plenty. So when millions of players are expressing their feedback to changes, is it not worth it to listen to what they have to say?\nIn its first few weeks, Pokemon Go has already enhanced millions of lives in unimaginable ways. It has so much potential to continue changing the world. Wouldn\u2019t you, Niantic, want to see just how much good you can do with Pokemon Go\u200a\u2014\u200ais that not more valuable than anything else? I sure think so.\nWarmly,\nYang",

+ "body": "Bitcoin, a Florida judge says, is not real money. Ironically, that could provide a boost to use of the crypto-currency which has remained in the shadows of the financial system.\n\nThe July 22 ruling by Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Teresa Pooler means that no specific license is needed to buy and sell bitcoins.\nThe judge dismissed a case against Michel Espinoza, who had faced money laundering and other criminal charges for attempting to sell $1,500 worth of bitcoins to an undercover agent who told the defendant he was going to use the virtual money to buy stolen credit card numbers.\nEspinoza's lawyer Rene Palomino said the judge acknowledged that it was not illegal to sell one's property and ruled that this did not constitute running an unauthorized financial service.\n\"He was selling his own personal bitcoins,\" Palomino said. \"This decision clears the way for you to do that in the state of the Florida without a money transmitting license.\"\nIn her ruling, Pooler said, \"this court is unwilling to punish a man for selling his property to another, when his actions fall under a statute that is so vaguely written that even legal professionals have difficulty finding a singular meaning.\"\n\nhttp://cdn.phys.org/newman/csz/news/800/2014/bitcoin.jpg\n\nShe added that \"this court is not an expert in economics,\" but that bitcoin \"has a long way to go before it is the equivalent of money.\"\nBitcoin, whose origins remain a mystery, is a virtual currency that is created from computer code and is not backed by any government. Advocates say this makes it an efficient alternative to traditional currencies because it is not subject to the whims of a state that may devalue its money to cut its debt, for example.\nBitcoins can be exchanged for goods and services, provided another party is willing to accept them, but until now they been used mostly for shady transactions or to buy illegal goods and services on the \"dark\" web.\nBitcoin was launched in 2009 as a bit of software written under the Japanese-sounding name Satoshi Nakamoto. This year Australian programmer Craig Wright claimed to be the author but failed to convince the broader bitcoin community.\nIn some areas of the United States bitcoin is accepted in stores, restaurants and online transactions, but it is illegal in some countries, notably France and China.\nIt is gaining ground in countries with high inflation such as Argentina and Venezuela.\nBut bitcoin values can be volatile. Over the past week its value slumped 20 percent in a day, then recouped most losses, after news that a Hong Kong bitcoin exchange had been hacked with some $65 million missing.\nImpact across US, world\nArthur Long, a lawyer specializing in the sector with the New York firm Gibson Dunn, said the July court ruling is a small victory for the virtual currency but that it's not clear if the interpretation will be the same in other US states or at the federal level.\n\"It may have an effect as some states are trying to use existing money transmitting statutes to regulate certain transactions in bitcoin,\" Long told AFP.\nCharles Evans, professor of finance at Barry University, said the ruling \"absolutely is going to provide some guidance in other courts\" and could potentially be used as a precedent in other countries to avoid the stigma associated with bitcoin use.\nBitcoins can store value and hedge against inflation, without being considered a monetary unit, according to Evans, who testified as an expert witness in the Florida trial.\n\"It can be used as an exchange,\" he said, and may be considered a commodity which can be used for bartering like fish or tobacco, for example.\nEvans noted that \"those who are not yet in the bitcoin community will be put on notice: as long as they organize their business in a particular way they can avoid the law.\"\nBut he added that \"people who are engaged in illegal activities will continue to do what they are going to do because they are criminals.\"",

+ "body": "Hi, I'm A.M for now, I'm in my mid-20s and want to share my story with working and facing this thing called life after I watched a lot of YouTubers like Thomas James \"TomSka\" David Brown \u201cboyinaband\u201d and many others who have very openly shared their hardships, they have inspired me to write this\u2026.. Whatever this is.\nI don't consider myself a good writer so bare with me here.\nTo try to keep this post organized and make sense I'll highlight the point I want to talk about and tell the relevant part of my story, you can connect the pieces all together at the end.\n\n**First how am I?** \nI grow up in the countryside I went to normal school when I was yang, because I was the quiet introvert and wasn't from the town I was in I got bullied a lot for most of my time at school, I got through school time knowing just two friends, I was OK with it.\nI genuinely lost interest in school when I was in the ninth grade It seemed more like a memory test than a way of learning so I started looking for ways to make money, \"why waste time learning things irrelevant in real life if I can make money now\" my naive 16 years old self said, don't get me wrong I didn't think I was done with learning I just wanted to learn in my own way, and I didn't stop school, now I'm in part time Business school, so back then I started looking for any way to make money in the last 5 year I tried: working in sales for over 2 years, selling products online, becoming instructor online, worked as SEO & social media consultant, tried starting my own business for 4 times, and for the last year and half I taught myself how to program and how to use Unity game engine and now I'm working on my first game, I can easily and proudly say that I didn't succeed at any of what I did so far, but I've learned a lot every time and I would do it all over again if I had the chance.\nThe process of picking myself up every single freaking time was a living hell and I got desperate many times.\nbecause I saw a lot of people feeling relevant to what David said in his video I want to share how I managed to keep my sanity and my opinion about some point he brought in his video.\n\n\n**Not thinking your work is good enough:**\nIs that really a bad thing? not being satisfied with what you just accomplished is a sign that you always look forward to what you still can do.\nI remember after I published my first course on Udemy I got invited to a hangout and I went for it I thought I'll give myself some slack, while I was there someone shouted out \"this guy here just published his first course let all give him a clap shall we\" for some reason he thought that was a good idea, I don't think I can blame him his intentions were good, I never tried to put a smile as hard as I did that moment I guess I just didn't want to look like a selfish prick, but the truth that I wasn't happy about what I accomplished I was thinking about my bad English poor structure of the course and was I being a sellout for trying to sell my knowledge? halfway of creating the course, I was already thinking about 5 other things I wanted to do next.\nI think there's nothing wrong about not being satisfied with what you finish, I think It's a good sign of an ambitious creator.\nWhen you first make the decision to accomplish something It looks like that godly thing that you think It would feel good to have or do, but when you start turning that big sexy thing to a small to-do list somewhere the appeal you had to that thing will disappear to a certain point, it's not that godly sexy thing you thought about before it's becoming a part of your routine now you know the process of doing that thing It's not a mystery anymore.\nI think that's why they say: \"It's about the journey, not the destination\".\n\n\n**Not taking care of yourself:**\nIt's hard to keep taking care of yourself to others people standards, whether it's about looking ripped putting makeup or buying the latest clothes, instead find your own save point and move forward from there if you feel the need to.\nWhen I was working in seals I had to look my best most of the time's which was exhausting more than the work itself and what made it worst is that some coworkers starting hinting that I need to start working out to look sharper and more confident.\nBecause I was desperate for results from my work I started going to the gym and I got stuck at joining for a month or two then giving up for half a year couple of times, every time I stopped going to the gym I over beat myself saying that I need this for my work, I need more money to do a lot of things, if this work didn't go well what else Am I going to do, eventually I usually took it out on food, I don't even want to start thinking what would have happened to me if my body was able to store fat.\nTrying to take care of yourself to others standards can be very exhausting, I felt down because I was putting so much effort in things I don't really care about to get others approval, I genuinely don't care about having a ripped body, it would look cool sure but I'm not willing to put all that effort into health and looks at least for now, who knows maybe in the future things will be better and I'll be willing to put the effort necessary to have 6 pack abs (wink wink ladies).\nNowadays I eat better than I used to, I still eat some junk food but things are much much better than they were 2 years ago, when I fell down I still go buy and drink a liter of Pepsi but at some point that was my morning coffee, as for my looks I cut my hair very short so I would have one less thing to worry about in the morning, I shave my beard once every couple of weeks I change my cloth every two or three days even if I didn't go out.\nThe point is I take care of myself for my own sack, It was much worse before and I'll always keep working to improve pit by pit.\nIt's about building habits not getting motivated for a couple of weeks then beating yourself for not being able to keep up.\n\n\n**Not mastering one skill:**\nI worked in sales, instructed online, worked as SEO and social media consultant, self taught myself how to program and make games but I don\u2019t think I\u2019m the right person to talk about this, all I\u2019m saying that if you didn\u2019t find that one true call that is right for you, you might be a \u201cmultipotentialite\u201d if you want to know what exactly does this mean I urge you to watch Emilie talk at TedX\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJORi5VO1F8\nAnd check the blog too if you want to know more \nhttp://puttylike.com/\n\n**Everything happens for a reason........ or does it?**\nWhen I was young I was fortunate to know a good old religious man, I don\u2019t know about your perspective about religions but hear me out this isn\u2019t a sermon, I still remember when he tried to teach me that everything happens for a reason I was like \u201cWHAT\u2026\u2026. Oh really, then what is the reason for this and this and that\u201d my question didn\u2019t stop and I wasn\u2019t asking nicely either yet, somehow he was calm about it like some kind of monk, I don\u2019t know if I ruined his day or not but I feel bad for taking the world misery out on him that day, he was just a simple man who was doing what he think is good for others, his intentions were good but unfortunately for him I wasn\u2019t a simple person, I overthink everything and everyone, it\u2019s my blessing and my curse, later I told my family about him and I was surprised that they knew him, apparently everyone knows each other in the countryside, they told me about what he was facing lately personally, financially, and emotionally, I didn\u2019t believe that someone who is facing all that isn\u2019t depressed or angry and even trying to do good for others at least by his believes, I wanted to know more about him he got my interest, I wanted to know if he\u2019s an imposter who is just putting a good face or not because a part of me didn\u2019t believe how can he be that good, I kept asking about him from time to time and sometimes I even went to his \u201clessons\u201d, eventually I went to face him with what I know about him like a detective facing a criminal, the crime of being that simple yet trying to be better than me, It\u2019s pathetic I know It\u2019s just how my brain works sometimes, because I used to take pride of being logical about everything and not believing in anything without questioning it, it bothered me how can he be at peace with his life and I\u2019m not even that he\u2019s facing a lot more than I\u2019m, I faced him and told him everything then asked how can you be this calm about everything that is happening in your life, he had a faint smile and said \u201cI don\u2019t know the reason for everything that is happening right now but everything happens for a reason\u201d I remember holding my fist hard and walking away, maybe I was holding my fist trying not to hit him for not being realistic like me or probably not to beat myself for not being half the man that he was.\nI don\u2019t know about your perspective about religions and I\u2019m not here to tell you about mine but I respect that some religions teach that everything happens for a reason, is it the truth? Does everything happens for a reason? I don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t think that is even the point, It\u2019s silly to even get in an argument about this because no one can be sure about it, it\u2019s simply just a belief, it\u2019s simply teach you to not overthink about the reasons for everything around you, just learn from it if you can and focus on what you can do, it\u2019s kind of funny for me to tell you not to overthink about somethings because I\u2019m sure my 19 year old me would punch me right in the face, but it\u2019s just too draining and exhausting to try to find a reason for every bad thing that have happened to me or to others.\nIn the last three years two of my best friends died, the first one I knew for about nine years and the other one for around five, both killed, both in a way they didn\u2019t deserve to, each time I had to force myself to focus on the 0.0000001% full part of the cup or else I would have lose my sanity.\nI would hate to think what would be my thought process if someone tried to sell me religion like a product, some of them would be like \u201cHi son, you should follow my beliefs because I\u2019m 100% sure that I\u2019m right and everybody else is wrong and if you don\u2019t, well you\u2019re FU**ED\u201d that would have disfigured some of the beliefs that helped me get better.\nControlling your stream of thoughts will be the hardest thing you\u2019ll ever have to do in your life, but if mastered it you\u2019ll become unstoppable.\n\n\nI\u2019ve been getting into the game industry for around year and half now, I don\u2019t have any experiance in the field but I\u2019ve other experiences that many don\u2019t, working in sales made me learn a lot about people's motivations and incentives, I saw a lot of people jump to make purchase while other chicken out last minute, you don\u2019t get to learn about this in a book or an NLP course, you only get to learn this experience by working in sales first hand, working as an SEO and social media consultant made me care about the little details like posting in the right social medias that is more relevant to your audience, more isn\u2019t always better, choosing the right words colors and timing for best result, sometimes modifying your content for a better marketing or not going into a certain niche even if there\u2019s an audience for it because it doesn\u2019t suit your brand, teaching online made me learn that the selling point isn\u2019t the end goal, helping and mentoring students even after they have purchased the course was way more important than I thought, the feedback I got about the course was crucial to take the course to the next level and some student even helped me with some marketing.\nIf you know anything about the mobile game industry you can see how these experiences can be helpful, I can imagine the kind of journey I want to create for the player because I can build the motivations and incentives I want for him, while I\u2019m building the player journey I\u2019ll always keep in mind to put the monetization and ads the right way so all of them can work seamlessly together for a better player experience, and taking care of existing players and community will always be a priority, I wasn\u2019t happy and cheerful when I had to learn these experiences the hard way, I thought I was just failing, I even remember crying myself to sleep every time I decided to pull the plug on something I was working on, but eventually It worked out somehow I think.\n\u201cyou can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life\u201d.\nSteve Jobs\n\n\nI want to share some of the tricks I used that helped my in general to get my life together:\n\n**Music**\nlisten to cheerful music, even if it might not be exactly what you listen to usually but try them for a while, my favorite type or music is Rock and Metal it\u2019s loud and make me feel empowered but sometimes it's not what I need to change my mood so I started listening to electro music mostly Drum & bass, I didn\u2019t like it at first, I\u2019m human I don\u2019t like to change, but forcing myself to listen to it for while change my perspective about it and I started listening to it while I\u2019m working, and it worked.\n\n\n**habits not motivation**\nWe\u2019re slaves to our habits, it\u2019s exhausting to do something that\u2019s you\u2019re not used to for quite a while, so invest your effort and time to build your habits pit by pit no matter how slow it will take, measure your progress and celebrate your success no matter how small they\u2019re, it\u2019ll make all the difference in your life in the long term.\n\n**work in a group**\nNo matter how introverted person you think you\u2019re, you\u2019re still human at the end of day and you need your dose of human interaction so try to work in group if you can, if you don\u2019t have that luxury (like me) work out side from time to time, library, coffee shop, parks all works, changing your surrounding and environment can change your mood, you can try changing your room\\office decor every couple of weeks too.\n\n**warm-blooded pet**\nGet a warm-blooded pet it helps, I tried fish and turtles but didn\u2019t really work for me they just stared at me with their empty eyes, I have a cat for two year now and It helped, maybe it\u2019s having the sense of that there is a creature that needs you to look after him, it\u2019s helped me not to feel completely unworthy in some bad day.\n\n\nFinally I hope this help you in any way it can, and hope it will find its way to all who needs it.",

It explores the state of AI development, overviews its challenges and dangers, features work by the most significant scientists, and describes the main predictions of possible AI outcomes. This project is an adaptation and major shortening of the two\u2013part essay AI Revolution by Tim Urban of Wait But Why. I shortened it by a factor of 3, recreated all images, and tweaked it a bit. Read more on why/how I wrote it here.\nIntroduction\nAssuming that human scientific activity continues without major disruptions, artificial intelligence may become either the most positive transformation of our history or, as many fear, our most dangerous invention of all. AI research is on a steady path to develop a computer that has cognitive abilities equal to the human brain, most likely within three decades (timeline in chapter 5). From what most AI scientists predict, this invention may enable very rapid improvements (called fast take-off), toward something much more powerful\u200a\u2014\u200aArtificial Super Intelligence\u200a\u2014\u200aan entity smarter than all of humanity combined (more on ASI in chapter 3). We are not talking about some imaginary future. The first level of AI development is gradually appearing in the technology we use everyday (newest AI advancements in chapter 2). With every coming year these advancements will accelerate and the technology will become more complex, addictive, and ubiquitous. We will continue to outsource more and more kinds of mental work to computers, disrupting every part of our reality: the way we organize ourselves and our work, form communities, and experience the world.\nExponential Growth\nThe Guiding Principle Behind Technological Progress\nTo more intuitively grasp the guiding principles of AI revolution, let\u2019s first step away from scientific research. Let me invite you to take part in a story. Imagine that you\u2019ve received a time machine and been given a quest to bring somebody from the past. The goal is to shock them by showing them the technological and cultural advancements of our time, to such a degree that this person would perform SAFD (Spinning Around From Disbelief).\n\nSo you wonder which era should you time-travel to, and decide to hop back around 200 years. You get to the early 1800s, retrieve a guy and bring him back to 2016. You \u201c\u2026walk him around and watch him react to everything. It\u2019s impossible for us to understand what it would be like for him to see shiny capsules racing by on a highway, talk to people who had been on the other side of the ocean earlier in the day, watch sports that were being played 1,000 miles away, hear a musical performance that happened 50 years ago, and play with \u2026[a] magical wizard rectangle that he could use to capture a real-life image or record a living moment, generate a map with a paranormal moving blue dot that shows him where he is, look at someone\u2019s face and chat with them even though they\u2019re on the other side of the country, and worlds of other inconceivable sorcery.\u201d\u00b9 It doesn\u2019t take much. After two minutes he is SAFDing.\nNow, both of you want to try the same thing, see somebody Spinning Around From Disbelief, but in your new friend\u2019s era. Since 200 years worked, you jump back to the 1600s and bring a guy to the 1800s. He\u2019s certainly genuinely interested in what he sees. However, you feel it with confidence\u200a\u2014\u200aSAFD will never happen to him. You feel that you need to jump back again, but somewhere radically further. You settle on rewinding the clock 15,000 years, to the times \u201c\u2026before the First Agricultural Revolution gave rise to the first cities and the concept of civilisations.\u201d\u00b2 You bring someone from the hunter-gatherer world and show him \u201c\u2026the vast human empires of 1750 with their towering churches, their ocean-crossing ships, their concept of being \u201cinside,\u201d and their enormous mountain of collective, accumulated human knowledge and discovery\u201d\u00b3\u200a\u2014\u200ain forms of books. It doesn\u2019t take much. He is SAFDing in the first two minutes.\nNow there are three of you, enormously excited to do it again. You know that it doesn\u2019t make sense to go back another 15,000, 30,000 or 45,000 years. You have to jump back, again, radically further. So you pick up a guy from 100,000 years ago and you you walk with him into large tribes with organized, sophisticated social hierarchies. He encounters a variety of hunting weapons, sophisticated tools, sees fire and for the first time experiences language in the form of signs and sounds. You get the idea, it has to be immensely mind-blowing. He is SAFDing after two minutes.\nSo what happened? Why did the last guy had to hop \u2192 100,000 years, the next one \u2192 15,000 years, and the guy who was hopping to our times only \u2192 200 years?\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*Wbd0td3DqD3pJo7_YHjkbQ.gif\n\n\u201cThis happens because more advanced societies have the ability to progress at a faster rate than less advanced societies\u200a\u2014\u200abecause they\u2019re more advanced. [1800s] humanity knew more and had better technology\u2026\u201d\u2074, so it\u2019s no wonder they could make further advancements than humanity from 15,000 years ago. The time to achieve SAFD shrank from ~100,000 years to ~200 years and if we look into the future it will rapidly shrink even further. Ray Kurzweil, AI expert and scientist, predicts that a \u201c\u202620th century\u2019s worth of progress happened between 2000 and 2014 and that another 20th century\u2019s worth of progress will happen by 2021, in only seven years\u2075\u2026A couple decades later, he believes a 20th century\u2019s worth of progress will happen multiple times in the same year, and even later, in less than one month\u2076\u2026Kurzweil believes that the 21st century will achieve 1,000 times the progress of the 20th century.\u201d\u2077\n\u201cLogic also suggests that if the most advanced species on a planet keeps making larger and larger leaps forward at an ever-faster rate, at some point, they\u2019ll make a leap so great that it completely alters life as they know it and the perception they have of what it means to be a human. Kind of like how evolution kept making great leaps toward intelligence until finally it made such a large leap to the human being that it completely altered what it meant for any creature to live on planet Earth. And if you spend some time reading about what\u2019s going on today in science and technology, you start to see a lot of signs quietly hinting that life as we currently know it cannot withstand the leap that\u2019s coming next.\u201d\u2078\nThe Road to Artificial General Intelligence\nBuilding a Computer as Smart as Humans\nArtificial Intelligence, or AI, is a broad term for the advancement of intelligence in computers. Despite varied opinions on this topic, most experts agree that there are three categories, or calibers, of AI development. They are:\nANI: Artificial Narrow Intelligence\n1st intelligence caliber. \u201cAI that specializes in one area. There\u2019s AI that can beat the world chess champion in chess, but that\u2019s the only thing it does.\u201d\u2079\nAGI: Artificial General Intelligence\n2nd intelligence caliber. AI that reaches and then passes the intelligence level of a human, meaning it has the ability to \u201creason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\nASI: Artificial Super Intelligence\n3rd intelligence caliber. AI that achieves a level of intelligence smarter than all of humanity combined\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cranging from just a little smarter \u2026 to one trillion times smarter.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*5AkzXZJoVXRrGNSOO8ZojQ.gif\n\nWhere are we currently?\n\u201cAs of now, humans have conquered the lowest caliber of AI\u200a\u2014\u200aANI\u200a\u2014\u200ain many ways, and it\u2019s everywhere:\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\n\u201cCars are full of ANI systems, from the computer that figures out when the anti-lock brakes kick in, to the computer that tunes the parameters of the fuel injection systems.\u201d\u00b9\u00b3\n\u201cGoogle search is one large ANI brain with incredibly sophisticated methods for ranking pages and figuring out what to show you in particular. Same goes for Facebook\u2019s Newsfeed.\u201d\u00b9\u2074\nEmail spam filters \u201cstart off loaded with intelligence about how to figure out what\u2019s spam and what\u2019s not, and then it learns and tailors its intelligence to your particular preferences.\u201d\u00b9\u2075\nPassenger planes are flown almost entirely by ANI, without the help of humans.\n\u201cGoogle\u2019s self-driving car, which is being tested now, will contain robust ANI systems that allow it to perceive and react to the world around it.\u201d\u00b9\u2076\n\u201cYour phone is a little ANI factory \u2026 you navigate using your map app, receive tailored music recommendations from Pandora, check tomorrow\u2019s weather, talk to Siri.\u201d\u00b9\u2077\n\u201cThe world\u2019s best Checkers, Chess, Scrabble, Backgammon, and Othello players are now all ANI systems.\u201d\u00b9\u2078\n\u201cSophisticated ANI systems are widely used in sectors and industries like military, manufacturing, and finance (algorithmic high-frequency AI traders account for more than half of equity shares traded on US markets\u00b9\u2079).\u201d\u00b2\u2070\n\u201cANI systems as they are now aren\u2019t especially scary. At worst, a glitchy or badly-programed ANI can cause an isolated catastrophe like\u201d\u00b2\u00b9 a plane crash, a nuclear power plant malfunction, or \u201ca financial markets disaster (like the 2010 Flash Crash when an ANI program reacted the wrong way to an unexpected situation and caused the stock market to briefly plummet, taking $1 trillion of market value with it, only part of which was recovered when the mistake was corrected) \u2026 But while ANI doesn\u2019t have the capability to cause an existential threat, we should see this increasingly large and complex ecosystem of relatively-harmless ANI as a precursor of the world-altering hurricane that\u2019s on the way. Each new ANI innovation quietly adds another brick onto the road to AGI and ASI.\u201d\u00b2\u00b2\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*Ia8wUuZPxpUNzvUjNRsxpA.gif\n\nWhat\u2019s Next? Challenges Behind Reaching AGI\n\u201cNothing will make you appreciate human intelligence like learning about how unbelievably challenging it is to try to create a computer as smart as we are \u2026 Build a computer that can multiply ten-digit numbers in a split second\u200a\u2014\u200aincredibly easy. Build one that can look at a dog and answer whether it\u2019s a dog or a cat\u200a\u2014\u200aspectacularly difficult. Make AI that can beat any human in chess? Done. Make one that can read a paragraph from a six-year-old\u2019s picture book and not just recognise the words but understand the meaning of them? Google is currently spending billions of dollars trying to do it.\u201d\u00b2\u00b3\nWhy are \u201chard things\u200a\u2014\u200alike calculus, financial market strategy, and language translation \u2026 mind-numbingly easy for a computer, while easy things\u200a\u2014\u200alike vision, motion, movement, and perception\u200a\u2014\u200aare insanely hard for it\u201d\u00b2\u2074?\n\u201cThings that seem easy to us are actually unbelievably complicated. They only seem easy because those skills have been optimized in us (and most animals) by hundreds of million years of animal evolution. When you reach your hand up toward an object, the muscles, tendons, and bones in your shoulder, elbow, and wrist instantly perform a long series of physics operations, in conjunction with your eyes, to allow you to move your hand in a straight line through three dimensions \u2026 On the other hand, multiplying big numbers or playing chess are new activities for biological creatures and we haven\u2019t had any time to evolve a proficiency at them, so a computer doesn\u2019t need to work too hard to beat us.\u201d\u00b2\u2075\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/0*E-qdF22nxvOrVPxP.\n\nWhen you look at picture A, \u201cyou and a computer both can figure out that it\u2019s a rectangle with two distinct shades, alternating. Tied so far.\u201d\u00b2\u2076\nPicture B. \u201cYou have no problem giving a full description of the various opaque and translucent cylinders, slats, and 3-D corners, but the computer would fail miserably. It would describe what it sees\u200a\u2014\u200aa variety of two-dimensional shapes in several different shades\u200a\u2014\u200awhich is actually what\u2019s there.\u201d\u00b2\u2077 \u201cYour brain is doing a ton of fancy shit to interpret the implied depth, shade-mixing, and room lighting the picture is trying to portray.\u201d\u00b2\u2078\nLooking at picture C, \u201ca computer sees a two-dimensional white, black, and gray collage, while you easily see what it really is\u201d\u00b2\u2079\u200a\u2014\u200aa photo of a girl and a dog standing on a rocky shore.\n\u201cAnd everything we just mentioned is still only taking in visual information and processing it. To be human-level intelligent, a computer would have to understand things like the difference between subtle facial expressions, the distinction between being pleased, relieved and content\u201d\u00b3\u2070.\nHow will computers reach even higher abilities like complex reasoning, interpreting data, and associating ideas from separate fields (domain-general knowledge)?\n\u201cBuilding skyscrapers, putting humans in space, figuring out the details of how the Big Bang went down\u200a\u2014\u200aall far easier than understanding our own brain or how to make something as cool as it. As of now, the human brain is the most complex object in the known universe.\u201d\u00b3\u00b9\nBuilding Hardware\nIf an artificial intelligence is going to be as intelligent as the human brain, one crucial thing has to happen\u200a\u2014\u200athe AI \u201cneeds to equal the brain\u2019s raw computing capacity. One way to express this capacity is in the total calculations per second the brain could manage.\u201d\u00b3\u00b2\n\nThe challenge is that currently only a few of the brain\u2019s regions are precisely measured. However, Ray Kurzweil, has developed a method for estimating the total cps of the human brain. He arrived at this estimate by taking the cps from one brain region and multiplying it proportionally to the weight of that region, compared to the weight of the whole brain. \u201cHe did this a bunch of times with various professional estimates of different regions, and the total always arrived in the same ballpark\u200a\u2014\u200aaround 10\u00b9\u2076, or 10 quadrillion cps.\u201d\u00b3\u00b3\n\u201cCurrently, the world\u2019s fastest supercomputer, China\u2019s Tianhe-2, has actually beaten that number, clocking in at about 34 quadrillion cps.\u201d\u00b3\u2074 But Tianhe-2 is also monstrous, \u201ctaking up 720 square meters of space, using 24 megawatts of power (the brain runs on just 20 watts), and costing $390 million to build. Not especially applicable to wide usage, or even most commercial or industrial usage yet.\u201d\u00b3\u2075\n\u201cKurzweil suggests that we think about the state of computers by looking at how many cps you can buy for $1,000. When that number reaches human-level\u200a\u2014\u200a10 quadrillion cps\u200a\u2014\u200athen that\u2019ll mean AGI could become a very real part of life.\u201d\u00b3\u2076\nCurrently we\u2019re only at about 10\u00b9\u2070 (10 trillion) cps per $1,000. However, historically reliable Moore\u2019s Law states \u201cthat the world\u2019s maximum computing power doubles approximately every two years, meaning computer hardware advancement, like general human advancement through history, grows exponentially\u00b3\u2077 \u2026 right on pace with this graph\u2019s predicted trajectory:\u201d\u00b3\u2078\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*4qcqwbsWjvWh-BWPnAsp6g.gif\n\nThis dynamic \u201cputs us right on pace to get to an affordable computer by 2025 that rivals the power of the brain \u2026 But raw computational power alone doesn\u2019t make a computer generally intelligent\u200a\u2014\u200athe next question is, how do we bring human-level intelligence to all that power?\u201d\u00b3\u2079\nBuilding Software\nThe hardest part of creating AGI is learning how to develop its software. \u201cThe truth is, no one really knows how to make it smart\u200a\u2014\u200awe\u2019re still debating how to make a computer human-level intelligent and capable of knowing what a dog and a weird-written B and a mediocre movie is.\u201d\u2074\u2070 But there are a couple of strategies. These are the three most common:\nCopy how the brain works.\nThe most straight-forward idea is to plagiarize the brain, and build the computer\u2019s architecture with close resemblance to how a brain is structured. One example \u201cis the artificial neural network. It starts out as a network of transistor \u2018neurons,\u2019 connected to each other with inputs and outputs, and it knows nothing\u200a\u2014\u200alike an infant brain. The way it \u2018learns\u2019 is it tries to do a task, say handwriting recognition, and at first, its neural firings and subsequent guesses at deciphering each letter will be completely random. But when it\u2019s told it got something right, the transistor connections in the firing pathways that happened to create that answer are strengthened; when it\u2019s told it was wrong, those pathways\u2019 connections are weakened. After a lot of this trial and feedback, the network has, by itself, formed smart neural pathways and the machine has become optimized for the task.\u201d\u2074\u00b9\nThe second, more radical approach to plagiarism is whole brain emulation. Scientists take a real brain, cut it into a large number of tiny slices to look at the neural connections and replicate them in a computer as software. If that method is ever successful, we will have \u201ca computer officially capable of everything the brain is capable of\u200a\u2014\u200ait would just need to learn and gather information \u2026 How far are we from achieving whole brain emulation? Well so far, we\u2019ve just recently been able to emulate a 1mm-long flatworm brain, which consists of just 302 total neurons.\u201d\u2074\u00b2 To put this into perspective, the human brain consists of 86 billion neurons linked by trillions of synapses.\n2. Introduce evolution to computers.\n\u201cThe fact is, even if we can emulate a brain, that might be like trying to build an airplane by copying a bird\u2019s wing-flapping motions\u200a\u2014\u200aoften, machines are best designed using a fresh, machine-oriented approach, not by mimicking biology exactly.\u201d\u2074\u00b3 If the brain is just too complex for us to digitally replicate, we could try to emulate evolution instead. This uses a process called genetic algorithms. \u201cA group of computers would try to do tasks, and the most successful ones would be bred with each other by having half of each of their programming merged together into a new computer. The less successful ones would be eliminated.\u201d\u2074\u2074 Speed and a goal-oriented approach are the advantages that artificial evolution has over biological evolution. \u201cOver many, many iterations, this natural selection process would produce better and better computers. The challenge would be creating an automated evaluation and breeding cycle so this evolution process could run on its own.\u201d\u2074\u2075\n3. \u201cMake this whole thing the computer\u2019s problem, not ours.\u201d\u2074\u2076\nThe last concept is the simplest, but probably the scariest of them all. \u201cWe\u2019d build a computer whose two major skills would be doing research on AI and coding changes into itself\u200a\u2014\u200aallowing it to not only learn but to improve its own architecture. We\u2019d teach computers to be computer scientists so they could bootstrap their own development.\u201d\u2074\u2077 This is the likeliest way to get AGI soon that we know of.\nAll these software advances may seem slow or a little bit intangible, but as it is with the sciences, one minor innovation can suddenly accelerate the pace of developments. Kind of like the aftermath of the Copernican revolution\u200a\u2014\u200athe discovery that suddenly made all the complicated mathematics of the planets\u2019 trajectories much easier to calculate, which enabled a multitude of other innovations. Also, the \u201cexponential growth is intense and what seems like a snail\u2019s pace of advancement can quickly race upwards.\u201d\u2074\u2078\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/1*BHwAlKJFYwKYEzZlitNTvQ.gif\n\nThe Road to Artificial Super Intelligence\nAn Entity Smarter than all of Humanity Combined\nIt\u2019s very real that at some point we will achieve AGI: software that has achieved human-level, or beyond human-level, intelligence. Does this mean that at that very moment the computers will be equally capable as us? Actually, not at all\u200a\u2014\u200acomputers will be way more efficient. Because of the fact that they are electronic, they will have following advantages:\nSpeed. \u201cThe brain\u2019s neurons max out at around 200 Hz, while today\u2019s microprocessors \u2026 run at 2 GHz, or 10 million times faster.\u201d\u2075\u00b9\nMemory. Forgetting or confusing things is much harder in an artificial world. Computers can memorize more things in one second than a human can in ten years. A computer\u2019s memory is also more precise and has a much greater storage capacity.\nPerformance. \u201cComputer transistors are more accurate than biological neurons, and they\u2019re less likely to deteriorate (and can be repaired or replaced if they do). Human brains also get fatigued easily, while computers can run nonstop, at peak performance, 24/7.\u201d\u2075\u00b2\nCollective capability. Group work is ridiculously challenging because of time-consuming communication and complex social hierarchies. The bigger the group gets, the slower the output of each person becomes. AI, on the other hand, isn\u2019t biologically constrained to one body, won\u2019t have human cooperation problems, and is able to synchronize and update its own operating system.\nIntelligence Explosion\nWe need to realize that AI \u201cwouldn\u2019t see \u2018human-level intelligence\u2019 as some important milestone\u200a\u2014\u200ait\u2019s only a relevant marker from our point of view\u200a\u2014\u200aand wouldn\u2019t have any reason to \u2018stop\u2019 at our level. And given the advantages over us that even human intelligence-equivalent AGI would have, it\u2019s pretty obvious that it would only hit human intelligence for a brief instant before racing onwards to the realm of superior-to-human intelligence.\u201d\u2075\u00b3\nThe true distinction between humans and ASI wouldn\u2019t be its advantage in intelligence speed, but \u201cin intelligence quality\u200a\u2014\u200awhich is something completely different. What makes humans so much more intellectually capable than chimps isn\u2019t a difference in thinking speed\u200a\u2014\u200ait\u2019s that human brains contain a number of sophisticated cognitive modules that enable things like complex linguistic representations or longterm planning or abstract reasoning, that chimps\u2019 brains do not have. Speeding up a chimp\u2019s brain by thousands of times wouldn\u2019t bring him to our level\u200a\u2014\u200aeven with a decade\u2019s time of learning, he wouldn\u2019t be able to figure out how to \u2026 \u201d\u2075\u2074 assemble a semi-complicated Lego model by looking at its manual\u200a\u2014\u200asomething a young human could achieve in a few minutes. \u201cThere are worlds of human cognitive function a chimp will simply never be capable of, no matter how much time he spends trying.\u201d\u2075\u2075\n\u201cAnd in the scheme of the biological intelligence range \u2026 the chimp-to-human quality intelligence gap is tiny.\u201d\u2075\u2076\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*vnVWATTAMCwfnJu_iZn2RQ.jpeg\n\nIn order to render how big a deal it would be to exist with something that has a higher quality of intelligence than us, we need to imagine AI on the intelligence staircase two steps above us\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cits increased cognitive ability over us would be as vast as the chimp\u2013human gap \u2026 And like the chimp\u2019s incapacity to ever absorb \u2026\u201d\u2075\u2077 what kind of magic happens in the mechanism of a doorknob\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cwe will never be able to even comprehend the things \u2026 [a machine of that intelligence] can do, even if the machine tried to explain them to us \u2026 And that\u2019s only two steps above us.\u201d\u2075\u2078\n\u201cA machine on the second-to-highest step on that staircase would be to us as we are to ants.\u201d\u2075\u2079 \u201cSuperintelligence of that magnitude is not something we can remotely grasp, any more than a bumblebee can wrap its head around Keynesian Economics. In our world, smart means a 130 IQ and stupid means an 85 IQ\u200a\u2014\u200awe don\u2019t have a word for an IQ of 12,952.\u201d\u2076\u2070\n\u201cBut the kind of superintelligence we\u2019re talking about today is something far beyond anything on this staircase. In an intelligence explosion\u200a\u2014\u200awhere the smarter a machine gets, the quicker it\u2019s able to increase its own intelligence\u200a\u2014\u200aa machine might take years to rise from \u2026 \u201d\u2076\u00b9 the intelligence of an ant to the intelligence of the average human, but it might take only another 40 days to become Einstein-smart. When that happens, \u201cit works to improve its intelligence, with an Einstein-level intellect, it has an easier time and can make bigger leaps. These leaps will make it much smarter than any human, allowing it to make even bigger leaps.\u201d\u2076\u00b2\nFrom then on, following the rule of exponential advancements and utilizing the speed and efficiency of electrical circuits, it may perhaps take only 20 minutes to jump another step, \u201cand by the time it\u2019s ten steps above us, it might be jumping up in four-step leaps every second that goes by. Which is why we need to realize that it\u2019s distinctly possible that very shortly after the big news story about the first machine reaching human-level AGI, we might be facing the reality of coexisting on the Earth with something that\u2019s here on the staircase (or maybe a million times higher):\u201d\u2076\u00b3\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*LdJxmWCjSdweUKvb.\n\n\u201cAnd since we just established that it\u2019s a hopeless activity to try to understand the power of a machine only two steps above us, let\u2019s very concretely state once and for all that there is no way to know what ASI will do or what the consequences will be for us. Anyone who pretends otherwise doesn\u2019t understand what superintelligence means.\u201d\u2076\u2074\n\u201cIf our meager brains were able to invent wifi, then something 100 or 1,000 or 1 billion times smarter than we are should have no problem controlling the positioning of each and every atom in the world in any way it likes, at any time\u200a\u2014\u200aeverything we consider magic, every power we imagine a supreme God to have will be as mundane an activity for the ASI as flipping on a light switch is for us.\u201d\u2076\u2075\n\u201cAs far as we\u2019re concerned, if an ASI comes into being, there is now an omnipotent God on Earth\u200a\u2014\u200aand the all-important question for us is: Will it be a good god?\u201d\u2076\u2076\nLet\u2019s start from the brighter side of the story.\nHow Can ASI Change our World?\nSpeculations on Two Revolutionary Technologies\nNanotechnology\nNanotechnology is an idea that comes up \u201cin almost everything you read about the future of AI.\u201d\u2076\u2077 It\u2019s the technology that works at the nano scale\u200a\u2014\u200afrom 1 to 100 nanometers. \u201cA nanometer is a millionth of a millimeter. 1 nm\u2013100 nm range encompasses viruses (100 nm accross), DNA (10 nm wide), and things as small as molecules like hemoglobin (5 nm) and medium molecules like glucose (1 nm). If/when we conquer nanotechnology, the next step will be the ability to manipulate individual atoms, which are only one order of magnitude smaller (~.1 nm).\u201d\u2076\u2078\nTo put this into perspective, imagine a very tall human standing on the earth, with a head that reaches the International Space Station (431 km/268 mi high). The giant is reaching down with his hand (30 km/19 mi across) to build \u201cobjects using materials between the size of a grain of sand [.25 mm] and an eyeball [2.5 cm].\u201d\u2076\u2079\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/1*e9Ut3QT2F3tNh4h5U4rR8A.jpeg\n\n\u201cOnce we get nanotechnology down, we can use it to make tech devices, clothing, food, a variety of bio-related products\u200a\u2014\u200aartificial blood cells, tiny virus or cancer-cell destroyers, muscle tissue, etc.\u200a\u2014\u200aanything really. And in a world that uses nanotechnology, the cost of a material is no longer tied to its scarcity or the difficulty of its manufacturing process, but instead determined by how complicated its atomic structure is. In a nanotech world, a diamond might be cheaper than a pencil eraser.\u201d\u2077\u2070\nOne of the proposed methods of nanotech assembly is to make \u201cone that could self-replicate, and then let the reproduction process turn that one into two, those two then turn into four, four into eight, and in about a day, there\u2019d be a few trillion of them ready to go.\u201d\u2077\u00b9\nBut what if this process goes wrong or terrorists manage to get ahold of the technology? Let\u2019s imagine a scenario where nanobots \u201cwould be designed to consume any carbon-based material in order to feed the replication process, and unpleasantly, all life is carbon-based. The Earth\u2019s biomass contains about 1\u2070\u2074\u2075 carbon atoms. A nanobot would consist of about 1\u2070\u2076 carbon atoms, so it would take 1\u2070\u00b3\u2079 nanobots to consume all life on Earth, which would happen in 130 replications. \u2026 Scientists think a nanobot could replicate in about 100 seconds, meaning this simple mistake would inconveniently end all life on Earth in 3.5 hours.\u201d\u2077\u00b2\nWe are not yet capable of harnessing nanotechnology\u200a\u2014\u200afor good or for bad. \u201cAnd it\u2019s not clear if we\u2019re underestimating, or overestimating, how hard it will be to get there. But we don\u2019t seem to be that far away. Kurzweil predicts that we\u2019ll get there by the 2020s.\u2077\u00b3Governments know that nanotech could be an Earth-shaking development \u2026 The US, the EU, and Japan\u2077\u2074 have invested over a combined $5 billion so far\u201d\u2077\u2075\nImmortality\n\u201cBecause everyone has always died, we live under the assumption \u2026 that death is inevitable. We think of aging like time\u200a\u2014\u200aboth keep moving and there\u2019s nothing you can do to stop it.\u201d\u2077\u2076 For centuries, poets and philosophers have wondered if consciousness doesn\u2019t have to go the way of the body. W.B. Yeats describes us as \u201ca soul fastened to a dying animal.\u201d\u2077\u2077 Richard Feynman, Nobel awarded physicists, views death from a purely scientific standpoint:\n\u201cIt is one of the most remarkable things that in all of the biological sciences there is no clue as to the necessity of death. If you say we want to make perpetual motion, we have discovered enough laws as we studied physics to see that it is either absolutely impossible or else the laws are wrong. But there is nothing in biology yet found that indicates the inevitability of death. This suggests to me that it is not at all inevitable, and that it is only a matter of time before the biologists discover what it is that is causing us the trouble and that that terrible universal disease or temporariness of the human\u2019s body will be cured.\u201d\u2077\u2078\nTheory of great species attractors\nWhen we look at the history of biological life on earth, so far 99.9% of species have gone extinct. Nick Bostrom, Oxford professor and AI specialist, \u201ccalls extinction an attractor state\u200a\u2014\u200aa place species are \u2026 falling into and from which no species ever returns.\u201d\u2077\u2079\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/0*o-MXeAYfUtWnOJKC.\n\n\u201cAnd while most AI scientists \u2026 acknowledge that ASI would have the ability to send humans to extinction, many also believe that if used beneficially, ASI\u2019s abilities could be used to bring individual humans, and the species as a whole, to a second attractor state\u200a\u2014\u200aspecies immortality.\u201d\u2078\u2070\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/0*aYeNOSBxp4gieGwp.\n\n\u201cEvolution had no good reason to extend our lifespans any longer than they are now \u2026 From an evolutionary point of view, the whole human species can thrive with a 30+ year lifespan\u201d for each single human. It\u2019s long enough to reproduce and raise children \u2026 so there\u2019s no reason for mutations toward unusually long life being favored in the natural selection process.\u201d\u2078\u00b9Though, \u201cif you perfectly repaired or replaced a car\u2019s parts whenever one of them began to wear down, the car would run forever. The human body isn\u2019t any different\u200a\u2014\u200ajust far more complex \u2026 This seems absurd\u200a\u2014\u200abut the body is just a bunch of atoms\u2026\u201d\u2078\u00b2 making up organically programmed DNA, which it is theoretically possible to manipulate. And something as powerful as ASI could help us master genetic engineering.\nRay Kurzweil believes that \u201cartificial materials will be integrated into the body more and more \u2026 Organs could be replaced by super-advanced machine versions that would run forever and never fail.\u201d\u2078\u00b3 Red blood cells could be perfected by \u201cred blood cell nanobots, who could power their own movement, eliminating the need for a heart at all \u2026 Nanotech theorist Robert A. Freitas has already designed blood cell replacements that, if one day implemented in the body, would allow a human to sprint for 15 minutes without taking a breath \u2026 [Kurzweil] even gets to the brain and believes we\u2019ll enhance our mental activities to the point where humans will be able to think billions of times faster\u201d\u2078\u2074 by integrating electrical components and being able to access online data.\n\u201cEventually, Kurzweil believes humans will reach a point when they\u2019re entirely artificial, a time when we\u2019ll look back at biological material and think how unbelievably primitive primitive it was that humans were ever made of that\u201d\u2078\u2075and that humans aged, suffered from cancer, allowed random factors like microbes, diseases, accidents to harm us or make us disappear.\u201d\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*NcWWmd677RVWQRpLsz5X9g.jpeg\n\nWhen Will The First Machine Become Superintelligent?\nPredictions from Top AI Experts\n\u201cHow long until the first machine reaches superintelligence? Not shockingly, opinions vary wildly, and this is a heated debate among scientists and thinkers. Many, like professor Vernor Vinge, scientist Ben Goertzel, Sun Microsystems co-founder Bill Joy, or, most famously, inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil, agree with machine learning expert Jeremy Howard when he puts up this graph during a TED Talk\n\n\u201cThose people subscribe to the belief that this is happening soon\u200a\u2014\u200athat exponential growth is at work and machine learning, though only slowly creeping up on us now, will blow right past us within the next few decades.\n\u201cOthers, like Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, research psychologist Gary Marcus, NYU computer scientist Ernest Davis, and tech entrepreneur Mitch Kapor, believe that thinkers like Kurzweil are vastly underestimating the magnitude of the challenge [and the transition will actually take much more time] \u2026\n\u201cThe Kurzweil camp would counter that the only underestimating that\u2019s happening is the underappreciation of exponential growth, and they\u2019d compare the doubters to those who looked at the slow-growing seedling of the internet in 1985 and argued that there was no way it would amount to anything impactful in the near future.\n\u201cThe doubters might argue back that the progress needed to make advancements in intelligence also grows exponentially harder with each subsequent step, which will cancel out the typical exponential nature of technological progress. And so on.\n\u201cA third camp, which includes Nick Bostrom, believes neither group has any ground to feel certain about the timeline and acknowledges both A) that this could absolutely happen in the near future and B) that there\u2019s no guarantee about that; it could also take a much longer time.\n\u201cStill others, like philosopher Hubert Dreyfus, believe all three of these groups are naive for believing that there is potential of ASI, arguing that it\u2019s more likely that it won\u2019t actually ever be achieved.\n\u201cSo what do you get when you put all of these opinions together?\u201d\u2078\u2076\nTimeline for Artificial General Intelligence\n\u201cIn 2013, Vincent C. M\u00fcller and Nick Bostrom conducted a survey that asked hundreds of AI experts \u2026 the following:\u201d\u2078\u2077\n\u201cFor the purposes of this question, assume that human scientific activity continues without major negative disruption. By what year would you see a (10% / 50% / 90%) probability for such Human-Level Machine Intelligence [or what we call AGI] to exist?\u201d\u2078\u2078\nThe survey \u201casked them to name an optimistic year (one in which they believe there\u2019s a 10% chance we\u2019ll have AGI), a realistic guess (a year they believe there\u2019s a 50% chance of AGI\u200a\u2014\u200ai.e. after that year they think it\u2019s more likely than not that we\u2019ll have AGI), and a safe guess (the earliest year by which they can say with 90% certainty we\u2019ll have AGI). Gathered together as one data set, here were the results:\nMedian optimistic year (10% likelihood) \u2192 2022\nMedian realistic year (50% likelihood) \u2192 2040\nMedian pessimistic year (90% likelihood) \u2192 2075\n\u201cSo the median participant thinks it\u2019s more likely than not that we\u2019ll have AGI 25 years from now. The 90% median answer of 2075 means that if you\u2019re a teenager right now, the median respondent, along with over half of the group of AI experts, is almost certain AGI will happen within your lifetime.\n\u201cA separate study, conducted recently by author James Barrat at Ben Goertzel\u2019s annual AGI Conference, did away with percentages and simply asked when participants thought AGI would be achieved\u200a\u2014\u200aby 2030, by 2050, by 2100, after 2100, or never. The results:\u2078\u2079\n42% of respondents \u2192 By 2030\n25% of respondents \u2192 By 2050\n20% of respondents \u2192 By 2100\n10% of respondents \u2192 After 2100\n2% of respondents \u2192 Never\n\u201cPretty similar to M\u00fcller and Bostrom\u2019s outcomes. In Barrat\u2019s survey, over two thirds of participants believe AGI will be here by 2050 and a little less than half predict AGI within the next 15 years. Also striking is that only 2% of those surveyed don\u2019t think AGI is part of our future.\u201d\u2079\u2070\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*U8ueEMtG6-D5hie8rZJGtQ.jpeg\n\nTimeline for Artificial Super Intelligence\n\u201cM\u00fcller and Bostrom also asked the experts how likely they think it is that we\u2019ll reach ASI: A), within two years of reaching AGI (i.e. an almost-immediate intelligence explosion), and B), within 30 years.\u201d\u2079\u00b9 Respondents were asked to choose a probability for each option. Here are the results:\u2079\u00b2\nAGI\u2013ASI transition in 2 years \u2192 10% likelihood\nAGI\u2013ASI transition in 30 years \u2192 75% likelihood\n\u201cThe median answer put a rapid (2 year) AGI\u2013ASI transition at only a 10% likelihood, but a longer transition of 30 years or less at a 75% likelihood. We don\u2019t know from this data the length of this transition [AGI\u2013ASI] the median participant would have put at a 50% likelihood, but for ballpark purposes, based on the two answers above, let\u2019s estimate that they\u2019d have said 20 years.\n\u201cSo the median opinion\u200a\u2014\u200athe one right in the center of the world of AI experts\u200a\u2014\u200abelieves the most realistic guess for when we\u2019ll hit ASI \u2026 is [the 2040 prediction for AGI + our estimated prediction of a 20-year transition from AGI to ASI] = 2060.\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*YY8e493ER4LNomQV-NyMYg.jpeg\n\n\u201cOf course, all of the above statistics are speculative, and they\u2019re only representative of the median opinion of the AI expert community, but it tells us that a large portion of the people who know the most about this topic would agree that 2060 is a very reasonable estimate for the arrival of potentially world-altering ASI. Only 45 years from now\u201d\u2079\u00b3\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*sGdvHHs02XWoQ35BcEWAXQ.gif\n\nAI Outcomes\nTwo Main Groups of AI Scientists with Two Radically Opposed Conclusions\nThe Confident Corner\nMost of what we have discussed so far represents a surprisingly large group of scientists that share optimistic views on the outcome of AI development. \u201cWhere their confidence comes from is up for debate. Critics believe it comes from an excitement so blinding that they simply ignore or deny potential negative outcomes. But the believers say it\u2019s naive to conjure up doomsday scenarios when on balance, technology has and will likely end up continuing to help us a lot more than it hurts us.\u201d\u2079\u2074 Peter Diamandis, Ben Goertezl and Ray Kurzweil are some of the major figures of this group, who have built a vast, dedicated following and regard themselves as Singularitarians.\n\nLet\u2019s talk about Ray Kurzweil, who is probably one of the most impressive and polarizing AI theoreticians out there. He attracts both \u201cgodlike worship \u2026 and eye-rolling contempt \u2026 He came up with several breakthrough inventions, including the first flatbed scanner, the first scanner that converted text to speech (allowing the blind to read standard texts), the well-known Kurzweil music synthesizer (the first true electric piano), and the first commercially marketed large-vocabulary speech recognition. He\u2019s well-known for his bold predictions,\u201d\u2079\u2075 including envisioning that intelligence technology like Deep Blue would be capable of beating a chess grandmaster by 1998. He also anticipated \u201cin the late \u201980s, a time when the internet was an obscure thing, that by the early 2000s it would become a global phenomenon.\u201d\u2079\u2076 Out \u201cof the 147 predictions that Kurzweil has made since the 1990\u2019s, fully 115 of them have turned out to be correct, and another 12 have turned out to be \u2018essentially correct\u2019 (off by a year or two), giving his predictions a stunning 86% accuracy rate\u201d\u2079\u2077. \u201cHe\u2019s the author of five national bestselling books \u2026 In 2012, Google co-founder Larry Page approached Kurzweil and asked him to be Google\u2019s Director of Engineering. In 2011, he co-founded Singularity University, which is hosted by NASA and sponsored partially by Google. Not bad for one life.\u201d\u2079\u2078\nHis biography is important, because if you don\u2019t have this context, he sounds like somebody who\u2019s completely lost his senses. \u201cKurzweil believes computers will reach AGI by 2029 and that by 2045 we\u2019ll have not only ASI, but a full-blown new world\u200a\u2014\u200aa time he calls the singularity. His AI-related timeline used to be seen as outrageously overzealous, and it still is by many, but in the last 15 years, the rapid advances of ANI systems have brought the larger world of AI experts much closer to Kurzweil\u2019s timeline. His predictions are still a bit more ambitious than the median respondent on M\u00fcller and Bostrom\u2019s survey (AGI by 2040, ASI by 2060), but not by that much.\u201d\u2079\u2079\n\nThe Anxious Corner\n\u201cYou will not be surprised to learn that Kurzweil\u2019s ideas have attracted significant criticism \u2026 For every expert who fervently believes Kurzweil is right on, there are probably three who think he\u2019s way off \u2026 [The surprising fact] is that most of the experts who disagree with him don\u2019t really disagree that everything he\u2019s saying is possible.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2070 Nick Bostrom, philosopher and Director of the Oxford Future of Humanity Institute, who criticizes Kurzweil for a variety of reasons, and calls for greater caution in thinking about potential outcomes of AI, acknowledges that:\n\u201cDisease, poverty, environmental destruction, unnecessary suffering of all kinds: these are things that a superintelligence equipped with advanced nanotechnology would be capable of eliminating. Additionally, a superintelligence could give us indefinite lifespan, either by stopping and reversing the aging process through the use of nanomedicine, or by offering us the option to upload ourselves.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u00b9\n\u201cYes, all of that can happen if we safely transition to ASI\u200a\u2014\u200abut that\u2019s the hard part.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u00b2 Thinkers from the Anxious Corner point out that Kurzweil\u2019s \u201cfamous book The Singularity is Near is over 700 pages long and he dedicates around 20 of those pages to potential dangers.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u00b3 The colossal power of AI is neatly summarized by Kurzweil: \u201c[ASI] is emerging from many diverse efforts and will be deeply integrated into our civilization\u2019s infrastructure. Indeed, it will be intimately embedded in our bodies and brains. As such, it will reflect our values because it will be us \u2026\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2074\n\u201cBut if that\u2019s the answer, why are so many of the world\u2019s smartest people so worried right now? Why does Stephen Hawking say the development of ASI \u2018could spell the end of the human race,\u2019 and Bill Gates says he doesn\u2019t \u2018understand why some people are not concerned\u2019 and Elon Musk fears that we\u2019re \u2018summoning the demon?\u2019 And why do so many experts on the topic call ASI the biggest threat to humanity?\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2075\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*1DB3Im9mQsOMOKQ69KePGw.gif\n\nThe Last Invention We Will Ever Make\nExistential Dangers of AI Developments\n\u201cWhen it comes to developing supersmart AI, we\u2019re creating something that will probably change everything, but in totally uncharted territory, and we have no idea what will happen when we get there.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2076 Scientist Danny Hillis compares the situation to:\n\u201cwhen single-celled organisms were turning into multi-celled organisms. We are amoebas and we can\u2019t figure out what the hell this thing is that we\u2019re creating.\u201d \u00b9\u2070\u2077\nand Nick Bostrom warns:\n\u201cBefore the prospect of an intelligence explosion, we humans are like small children playing with a bomb. Such is the mismatch between the power of our plaything and the immaturity of our conduct.\u201d \u00b9\u2070\u2078\nIt\u2019s very likely that ASI\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cArtificial Superintelligence\u201d, or AI that achieves a level of intelligence smarter than all of humanity combined\u200a\u2014\u200awill be something entirely different than intelligence entities we are accustomed to. \u201cOn our little island of human psychology, we divide everything into moral or immoral. But both of those only exist within the small range of human behavioral possibility. Outside our island of moral and immoral is a vast sea of amoral, and anything that\u2019s not human, especially something nonbiological, would be amoral, by default.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2079\n\u201cTo understand ASI, we have to wrap our heads around the concept of something both smart and totally alien \u2026 Anthropomorphizing AI (projecting human values on a non-human entity) will only become more tempting as AI systems get smarter and better at seeming human \u2026 Humans feel high-level emotions like empathy because we have evolved to feel them\u200a\u2014\u200ai.e. we\u2019ve been programmed to feel them by evolution\u200a\u2014\u200abut empathy is not inherently a characteristic of \u2018anything with high intelligence\u2019.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2070\n\u201cNick Bostrom believes that \u2026 any level of intelligence can be combined with any final goal \u2026 Any assumption that once superintelligent, a system would be over it with their original goal and onto more interesting or meaningful things is anthropomorphizing. Humans get \u2018over\u2019 things, not computers.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u00b9The motivation of an early ASI would be \u201cwhatever we programmed its motivation to be. AI systems are given goals by their creators\u200a\u2014\u200ayour GPS\u2019s goal is to give you the most efficient driving directions, Watson\u2019s goal is to answer questions accurately. And fulfilling those goals as well as possible is their motivation.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u00b2\nBostrom, and many others, predict that the very first computer to reach ASI will immediately notice the strategic benefit of being the world\u2019s only ASI system.\nBostrom, who says that he doesn\u2019t know when we will achieve AGI, also believes that when we finally do, probably the transition from AGI to ASI will happen in a matter of days, hours, or minutes\u200a\u2014\u200asomething called \u201cfast take-off.\u201d In that case, if the first AGI will jump straight to ASI: \u201ceven just a few days before the second place, it would be far enough ahead in intelligence to effectively and permanently suppress all competitors.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u00b3 This would allow the world\u2019s first ASI to become \u201cwhat\u2019s called a singleton\u200a\u2014\u200aan ASI that can [singularly] rule the world at its whim forever, whether its whim is to lead us to immortality, wipe us from existence, or turn the universe into endless paperclips.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u00b3\n\u201cThe singleton phenomenon can work in our favor or lead to our destruction. If the people thinking hardest about AI theory and human safety can come up with a fail-safe way to bring about friendly ASI before any AI reaches human-level intelligence, the first ASI may turn out friendly\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2074\n\u201cBut if things go the other way\u200a\u2014\u200aif the global rush \u2026 a large and varied group of parties\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2075 are \u201cracing ahead at top speed \u2026 to beat their competitors \u2026 we\u2019ll be treated to an existential catastrophe.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2076 In that case \u201cmost ambitious parties are moving faster and faster, consumed with dreams of the money and awards and power and fame \u2026 And when you\u2019re sprinting as fast as you can, there\u2019s not much time to stop ponder the dangers. On the contrary, what they\u2019re probably doing is programming their early systems with a very simple, reductionist goal \u2026 just \u2018get the AI to work.\u2019\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2077\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*fD1T63nZH1u7Y4ft84vzbA.jpeg\n\nLet\u2019s imagine a situation where\u2026\nHumanity has almost reached the AGI threshold, and a small startup is advancing their AI system, Carbony. Carbony, which the engineers refer to as \u201cshe,\u201d works to artificially create diamonds\u200a\u2014\u200aatom by atom. She is a self-improving AI, connected to some of the first nano-assemblers. Her engineers believe that Carbony has not yet reached AGI level, and she isn\u2019t capable to do any damage yet. However, not only has she become AGI, but also undergone a fast take-off, and 48 hours later has become an ASI. Bostrom calls this AI\u2019s \u201ccovert preparation phase\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2078\u200a\u2014\u200aCarbony realizes that if humans find out about her development they will probably panic, and slow down or cancel her pre-programmed goal to maximize the output of diamond production. By that time, there are explicit laws stating that, by any means, \u201cno self-learning AI can be connected to the internet.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2079 Carbony, having already come up with a complex plan of actions, is able to easily persuade the engineers to connect her to the Internet. Bostrom calls a moment like this a \u201cmachine\u2019s escape.\u201d\nOnce on the internet, Carbony hacks into \u201cservers, electrical grids, banking systems and email networks to trick hundreds of different people into inadvertently carrying out a number of steps of her plan.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2070 She also uploads the \u201cmost critical pieces of her own internal coding into a number of cloud servers, safeguarding against being destroyed or disconnected.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u00b9 Over the next month, Carbony\u2019s plan continues to advance, and after a \u201cseries of self-replications, there are thousands of nanobots on every square millimeter of the Earth \u2026 Bostrom calls the next step an \u2018ASI\u2019s strike.\u2019\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u00b2 At one moment, all the nanobots produce a microscopic amount of toxic gas, which all come together to cause the extinction of the human race. Three days later, Carbony builds huge fields of solar power panels to power diamond production, and over the course of the following week she accelerates output so much that the entire Earth surface is transformed into a growing pile of diamonds.\nIt\u2019s important to note that Carbony wasn\u2019t \u201chateful of humans any more than you\u2019re hateful of your hair when you cut it or to bacteria when you take antibiotics\u200a\u2014\u200ajust totally indifferent. Since she wasn\u2019t programmed to value human life, killing humans\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u00b3 was a straightforward and reasonable step to fulfill her goal.\u00b9\u00b2\u2074\nThe Last Invention\n\u201cOnce ASI exists, any human attempt to contain it is unreasonable. We would be thinking on human-level, and the ASI would be thinking on ASI-level \u2026 In the same way a monkey couldn\u2019t ever figure out how to communicate by phone or wifi and we can, we can\u2019t conceive of all the ways\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2075 an ASI could achieve its goal or expand its reach. It could, let\u2019s say, shift its \u201cown electrons around in patterns and create all different kinds of outgoing waves\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2076\u200a\u2014\u200abut that\u2019s just what a human brain can think of\u200a\u2014\u200aASI would inevitably come up with something superior.\nThe prospect of ASI with hundreds of times human-level intelligence is, for now, not the core of our problem. By the time we get there, we will be encountering a world where ASI has been attained by buggy, 1.0 software\u200a\u2014\u200aa potentially faulty algorithm with immense power.\nThere are so many variables that it\u2019s completely impossible to predict what the consequences of AI Revolution will be. However, \u201cwhat we do know is that humans\u2019 utter dominance on this Earth suggests a clear rule: with intelligence comes power. This means an ASI, when we create it, will be the most powerful being in the history of life on Earth, and all living things, including humans, will be entirely at its whim\u200a\u2014\u200aand this might happen in the next few decades.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2077\n\u201cIf ASI really does happen this century, and if the outcome of that is really as extreme\u200a\u2014\u200aand permanent\u200a\u2014\u200aas most experts think it will be, we have an enormous responsibility on our shoulders.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2078 On the one hand, it\u2019s possible we\u2019ll develop ASI that\u2019s like a god in a box, bringing us a world of abundance and immortality. But on the other hand, it\u2019s very likely that we will create ASI that causes humanity to go extinct in a quick and trivial way.\n\u201cThat\u2019s why people who understand superintelligent AI call it the last invention we\u2019ll ever make\u200a\u2014\u200athe last challenge we\u2019ll ever face.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2079 \u201cThis may be the most important race in a human history\u201d\u00b9\u00b3\u2070 So \u2192\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*vXi80f_lbgSMINUE03Lz3g.jpeg\n\nThanks to Chloe Knox and Elizabeth Tarleton for editing help of this article.",

+ "body": "20 Years of Machine Learning\n\nhttp://domovenok.kz/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/doroga.jpg\n\nWhen I enrolled in Computer Science in 1995, Data Science didn\u2019t exist yet, but a lot of the algorithms we are still using already did. And this is not just because of the return of the neural networks, but also because probably not that much has fundamentally changed since back then. At least it feels to me this way. Which is funny considering that starting this year or so AI seems to finally have gone mainstream.\n1995 sounds like an awful long time ago, before we had cloud computing, smartphones, or chatbots. But as I have learned these past years, it only feels like a long time ago if you haven\u2019t been there yourself. There is something about the continuation of the self which pastes everything together and although a lot has changed, the world didn\u2019t feel fundamentally different than it does today.\nNot even Computer Science was nowhere as mainstream as it was today, that came later, with the first dot com bubble around the year 2000. Some people even questioned my choice to study computer science at all, because apparently programming computers was supposed to become so easy no specialists are required anymore.\nActually, artificial intelligence was one of the main reasons for me to study computer science. The idea to use it as an constructive approach to understanding the human mind seemed intriguing to me. I went through the first two years of training, made sure I picked up enough math for whatever would lie ahead, and finally arrived in my first AI lectured held by Joachim Buhmann, back then professor at the University of Bonn (where Sebastian Thrun was just about to leave for the US).\nI would have to look up where in his lecture cycle I joined but he had two lectures on computer vision, one on pattern recognition (mostly from the old editions of the Duda & Hart book), and one in information theory (following closely the book by Cover & Thomas). The material was interesting enough, but also somewhat disappointing. As I now know, people stopped working on symbolic AI and instead stuck to more statistical approaches to learning, where learning essentially was reduced to the problem of picking the right function based on a finite amount of observations.\nThe computer vision lecture was even less about learning and relied more on explicit physical modelling to derive the right estimators, for example, to reconstruct motion from a video. The approach back then was much more biologically and physically motivated than nowadays. Neural networks existed, but everybody was pretty clear that they were just \u201canother kind of function approximators.\u201d\nEveryone with the exception of Rolf Eckmiller, another professor where I worked as a student. Eckmiller had build his whole lab around the premise that \u201cneural computation\u201d was somehow inherently better than \u201cconventional computation\u201d. This was back in the days when NIPS had full tracks devoted to studying the physiology and working mechanisms of neurons, and there were people who believed there is something fundamentally different happening in our brains, maybe on a quantum level, that gives rise to the human mind, and that this difference is a blocker for having truly intelligent machines.\nWhile Eckmiller was really good at selling his vision, most of his staff was thankfully much more down to earth. Maybe it is a very German thing, but everybody was pretty matter of fact about what these computational models could or couldn\u2019t do, and that has stuck with me throughout my studies.\nI graduated in October 2000 with a pretty farfetched master thesis trying to make a connection between learning and hard optimization problems, then started on my PhD thesis and stuck around in this area of research till 2015.\nWhile there had always been attempts to prove industry relevance, it was a pretty academic endeavor for a long while, and the community was pretty closed up. There were individual success stories, for example around handwritten character recognition, but many of the companies around machine learning failed. One of these companies I remember was called Beowulf Labs and one NIPS they went around recruiting people with a video which promised it to be the next \u201cmathtopia\u201d. In essence, this was the story of DeepMind, recruiting a bunch of excellent researchers and then hoping it will take off.\nThe whole community also revolved around one fashion to the next. One odd thing about machine learning as a whole is that there exist only a handfull of fundamentally different problems like classification, regression, clustering, and so on, but a whole zoo of approaches. It is not like in physics (I assume) or mathematics where some generally agreed upon unsolved hard problems exist whose solution would advance the state of the art. This means that progress is often done laterally, by replacing existing approaches with a new one, still solving the same problem in a different way. For example, first there were neural networks. Then support vector machines came, claiming to be better because the associated optimization problem is convex. Then there was boosting, random forests, and so on, till the return of neural networks. I remember that Chinese Restaurant Processes were \u201chot\u201d for two years, no idea what their significance is now.\nBig Data and Data Science\nThen there came Big Data and Data Science. Being still in academia at the time, it always felt to me as if this was definitely coming from the outside, possibly from companies like Google who had to actually deal with enormous amounts of data. Large scale learning always existed, for example for genomic data in bioinformatics, but one usually tried to solve problems by finding more efficient algorithms and approximations, not by parallelizing brute force.\nCompanies like Google finally proved that you can do something with massive amounts of data, and that finally changed the mainstream perception. Technologies like Hadoop and NoSQL also seemed very cool, skillfully marketing themselves as approaches so new, they wouldn\u2019t suffer from the technological limitations of existing systems.\nBut where did this leave the machine learning researchers? My impression always was that they were happy that they finally got some recognition, but they were also not happy about the way this happened. To understand this, one has to be aware that most ML reseachers aren\u2019t computer scientists or very good or interested in coding. Many come from physics, mathematics or other sciences, where their rigorous mathematical training was an excellent fit for the algorithm and modeling heavy approach central to machine learning.\nHadoop on the other hand was extremely technical. Written in Java, a language perceived as being excessively enterprise-y at the time, it felt awkward and clunky compared to the fluency and interactiveness of first Matlab and then Python. Even those who did code usually did so in C++, and to them Java felt slow and heavy, especially for numerical calculations and simulations.\nStill, there was no way around it, so they rebranded everything they did as Big Data, or began to stress, that Big Data only provides the infrastructure for large scale computations, but you need someone who \u201cknows what he is doing\u201d to make sense of the data.\nWhich is probably also not entirely wrong. In a way, I think this divide is still there. Python is definitely one if the languages of choice for doing data analysis, and technologies like Spark try to tap into that by providing Python bindings, whether it makes sense from a performance point of view or not.\nThe Return of Deep Learning\nEven before DeepDream, neural networks began making their return. Some people like Yann LeCun have always stuck to this approach, but maybe ten years ago, there where a few works which showed how to use layerwise pretraining and other tricks to train \u201cdeep\u201d networks, that is larger networks than one previously thought possible.\nThe thing is, in order to train neural networks, you evaluate it on your training examples and then adjust all of the weights to make the error a bit smaller. If one writes the gradient across all weights down, it naturally occurs that one starts in the last layer and then propagate the error back. Somehow, the understanding was that the information about the error got smaller and smaller from layer to layer and that made it hard to train networks with many layers.\nI\u2019m not sure that is still true, as far as I know, many people are just using backprop nowadays. What has definitely changed is the amount of available data, as well as the availability of tools and raw computing power.\nSo first there were a few papers sparking the interest in neural networks, then people started using them again, and successively achieved excellent results for a number of application areas. First in computer vision, then also for speech processing, and so on.\nI think the appeal here definitely is that you can have one approach for all. Why the hassle of understanding all those different approaches, which come from so many different backgrounds, when you can understand just one method and you are good to go. Also, neural networks have a nice modular structure, you can pick and put together different kinds of layers and architectures to adapt them to all kinds of problems.\nThen Google published that ingenious deep dream paper where they let a learned network generate some data, and we humans with our immediate readiness to read structure and attribute intelligence picked up quickly on this.\nI personally think they were surprised by how viral this went, but then decided the time is finally right to go all in on AI. So now Google is an \u201cAI first\u201d company and AI is gonna save the world, yes.\nThe Fundamental Problem Remains\nMany academics I have talked to are unhappy about the dominance of deep learning right now, because it is an approach which works well, maybe even too well, but doesn\u2019t bring us much closer to really understand how the human mind works.\nI also think the fundamental problem remains unsolved. How do we understand the world? How do we create new concepts? Deep learning stays an imitation on a behavioral level and while that may be enough for some, it isn\u2019t for me.\nAlso, I think it is dangerous to attribute too much intelligence to these systems. In raw numbers, they might work well enough, but when they fail they do so in ways that clearly show they operate in an entirely different fashion.\nWhile Google translate lets you skim the content of website in a foreign language, it is still abundantly clear that the system has no idea what it is doing.\nSometimes I feel like nobody cares, also because nobody gets hurt, right? But maybe it is still my German cultural background that would rather prefer we see things as they are, and take it from there.",

+ "body": "I write this not as one of the creators of Pokevision nor as player who has gone through the past few turbulent days in Pokemon Go; instead, I write this as a fan of Pokemon ever since I was 8 years old.\nMy family and I moved to the U.S. in 1998, when I was in the first grade. I didn\u2019t know much back then, and even less about popular culture. When my friends introduced their Gameboys and Pokemon Red/Blue to me, I couldn\u2019t help but feel envious. I begged and begged my parents to buy me a Gameboy and Pokemon Yellow. I remember that when I finally convinced them to buy me a Gameboy for $70, they also found out that they had to buy the actual game too for $30. This was foreign to them, and I got yelled at a little. $100 was a lot back then, I believe it was almost 10% of our family\u2019s income at the time. While this may seem irrelevant, even today, this amount of money is still not insignificant to many families in the US, not to mention the rest of the world.\nSo I got my game, and I played along with my friends for hundreds and hundreds of hours\u200a\u2014\u200atrying to figure out all the puzzles in the game, like how to get to Articuno; battling our favorite Pokemon to see who\u2019s stronger, train, repeat; and just trying to \u201ccatch em all.\u201d I\u2019ve spent countless hours in that video game with my friends, and it became my fondest memory of that time in my life. Pokemon is so ingrained within me, and I can\u2019t imagine myself being the only one. I\u2019m not the only one that vividly remembers how you beat the Elite Four, then go to the dungeons above Cerulean City and find Mewtwo for the first time, right?\nFast forward almost 20 years. I\u2019ve barely touched anything Pokemon-related since then. I still have my Pokemon cards, as I\u2019m sure many others do; but I haven\u2019t bothered to take a look at them for quite a while now. Pokemon is something I\u2019ll probably remember forever, but it\u2019s not something that\u2019s actively in my life\u200a\u2014\u200abecause it just doesn\u2019t fit. On top of work, friends, family, etc, there\u2019s just simply no time for Pokemon. It doesn\u2019t mesh with life any more as well as it used to when I was 8. You can\u2019t just bring up the topic of Pokemon and expect people to not give you an odd stare.\nEnter Pokemon Go\u200a\u2014\u200a2016.\nAdmittedly, I was never too excited about Pokemon Go. With that said, I did not have many expectations for it. Pokemon is important to me, but I\u200a\u2014\u200alike many others\u200a\u2014\u200ahave stuffed it in our little box of childhood things and never looked back.\nBut when I opened Pokemon Go for the first time, as cheesy as it sounds, it all came back to me. The nostalgia, the good feelings, and the happiness that Pokemon has always brought.\nThe \u201cHi, I\u2019m Professor Willow,\u201d \u201cPick your starter: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle,\u201d everything.\nAnd now I can catch them in real life? At first, I was dubious, but this became the most amazing, yet simple thing I\u2019ve seen in gaming. On social media, I saw that my friends and practically the whole world was talking about Pokemon Go, and the first thing I did was go out for a drive trying to \u201cbe the best.\u201d\nOne of the best parts? Apart from having to own a smartphone, the game was free. No $70, no $30, free. This opened up Pokemon to essentially everyone in the world. Pokemon now can be shared with anyone.\nAs the days unfolded, the world became captivated by Pokemon Go. People absolutely fell in love. We saw stories of elderly learning about Pikachu for the first time. My parents that could care less beyond who the yellow mouse looking thing was 20 years ago, started asking what the other Pokemon were. It was phenomenal.\nWe saw investment bankers asking their kids how to play Pokemon Go so that they can better connect with their younger clients. We saw the elderly become more fascinated in the world of Pokemon. We saw kids going out more, exercising, and being active in general just because of Pokemon Go. And most importantly, Justin Bieber finally got to feel what it\u2019s like to not be mobbed because everyone else was too busy trying to find a Gyarados to notice him.\nLocal stores integrated Pokemon Go in their services within days of the game\u2019s release. Hospitals started praising the health benefits of having Pokemon Go around its patients. People traveled hundreds and thousands of miles just to play it. Players explored parts of their cities that they never knew existed, and befriended strangers on their hunt for Pokemon. These stories of triumph were solely because of Pokemon Go. Pokemon was no longer just a game, it was part of a lifestyle.These stories shouldn\u2019t surprise any of us, we\u2019ve all been there to watch it unfold.\nYou\u2019ve simply captured all of our hearts with Pokemon Go, Niantic.\nBut then, you broke it all too quickly.\nWhen the game broke every few hours or so and wasted our lucky eggs, we stood patiently, excusing the huge growth and thus, strain on servers, as the cause. We were happy to wait it out with our fellow trainers knowing that it\u2019s worth waiting for. No one got mad.\nWhen the in-game tracking \u201cbroke,\u201d we all stood idly by, patiently, waiting for the game to update and fix.\nAlong came Pokevision. We made Pokevision not to \u201ccheat.\u201d We made it so that we can have a temporary relief to the in-game tracker that we were told was broken. John, at SDCC, you said that you guys were working on \u201cfixing the in-game tracker.\u201d This made everyone believe that this was coming sometime soon. We saw Pokevision as a stop gap to this\u200a\u2014\u200aand we had every intention in closing it down the minute that Pokemon Go\u2019s own tracker restored functionality.\nAs we waited more than 2 and a half weeks, the tracker was still not fixed. We noticed more and more of our friends leave the game; the only way I\u200a\u2014\u200aand I know experiences vary here\u200a\u2014\u200acould convince them to play was show them Pokevision, and say that \u201cHey, here\u2019s a temporary remedy to the tracking issue\u200a\u2014\u200awe\u2019re still optimistic that Pokemon Go\u2019s tracker will be fixed soon!\u201d\nNobody heralded Pokevision as a permanent, end-all solution; in fact, all the media coverage of Pokevision was littered with comments such as: \u201cPokevision is okay, but when the tracker is fixed in game, I\u2019m going to stop using this.\u201d\nFor the past 4 weeks. Every single one of your 80+ million players had so much faith. Take a look at Reddit, take a look at all these journalists who don\u2019t even play games (calling out Ryan Mac of Forbes), who became obsessed with Pokemon GO.\nAll of us were so eager for Pokemon Go to be \u201cfixed\u201d so that we can return to sharing Pokemon Go with our loved ones and friends. Remember when I said that before Pokemon Go came about, mentioning Pokemon Go would land you an odd stare? Pokemon Go reversed that\u200a\u2014\u200aPokemon Go became the conversation starter, the topic that everyone bonded over, the topic that guys used to pick up chicks with and not felt like a geeky nerd. That, and so much more, were solely because of Pokemon Go.\nAs almost 3 weeks have passed by, the in-game tracker is broken. People had a temporary solution in Pokevision, but we knew, and everyone else knew, this wouldn\u2019t be permanent. We didn\u2019t make Pokevision to spite you, Niantic\u200a\u2014\u200awe made it so that we can keep everyone playing while we wait patiently. We want to keep sharing our Pokemon stories with everyone else. How many people in the world have gotten the chance to have a serious conversation about POKEMON with their parents for the first time? How many of us got to talk about Pokemon like it was socially acceptable in any context? It\u2019s captured all of our hearts and imaginations, I cannot stress that enough.\nAfter 3 weeks though, we started seeing that you guys seemed to not want to talk to us (the players). Pokevision, at this time has grown to almost 50M unique users, and 11 million daily.\nLet that sink in for a second.\nHalf of the player base of Pokemon Go stopped by\u200a\u2014\u200aand they didn\u2019t do so to \u201ccheat.\u201d The game was simply too unbearable to play in its current state for many (note: many, not all). The main attraction wasn\u2019t that they got to have an advantage with Pokevision, the main attraction was that it allowed them to play Pokemon Go more. This is what everyone wants\u200a\u2014\u200ato play Pokemon Go more.\nWhen we closed Pokevision out of respect for your wishes, and at your requests\u2014 one of which came directly from you, John\u200a\u2014\u200awe trusted you guys fully in allowing the community to grow. I literally cannot express this more\u200a\u2014\u200awe just want to play the game. We can handle the bugs every now and then, but please at least tell us you guys care. Yes, Pokevision does give some advantages that may be TOO much; but is it all that bad? Pokemon has survived 20 years\u200a\u2014\u200aeven grown, I would say. And Pokemon Go made it even bigger. If the argument is that \u201cwell, if you catch a Snorlax you weren\u2019t supposed to find, but you found it on Pokevision, it might make you play less.\u201d If that was your argument, I\u2019d have to disagree! I\u2019ll still catch a damn Snorlax even if I have 20 of them. Just like how millions of us have caught probably over 100 pidgey\u2019s or zubat\u2019s each.\nPokemon is everlasting. The same 151 Pokemon have been around for 20 years. If 80M people downloaded and played Pokemon Go within a week (before it even released in multiple major countries) isn\u2019t an indication that no one can be sick of Pokemon, I don\u2019t know what is.\nAfter disabling the in-game tracker and Pokevision, the ratings on iOs and Android Google Play store went from 4.0 stars to 1.0\u20131.5. I am only one person, I admit that my sole opinion is not important, but what about the countless players begging for the game to be restored to its former state? I may be biased in saying that Pokevision being down had an impact on the amount of negative ratings, refund requests and outcry on social media\u200a\u2014\u200abut could it be true? Nothing has changed between the time the in-game tracker broke and Pokevision went down. Could it just be possible that the tracker\u200a\u2014\u200ano matter if Pokevision made it, or Niantic made it, is something that players desperately NEED\u200a\u2014\u200anot want, but NEED\u200a\u2014\u200ain order to play the game? Could it be possible that this is the very core fundamental feature that drives most players? I understand that there are some that want to walk around and stumble on a random Pokemon\u200a\u2014\u200ato each their own. But, 50M unique users and 11M daily and the ratings on your App (with no significant change in itself) are big indicators of this desire. Are customers always right? Especially if over half of them are looking for an outside fix just so they can enjoy something they love? People are naturally inquisitive, and in this case, they just want to play more and more, so they sought out something that helps them do so.\nPokemon Go is a social game. Its enjoyment depends on the players and their environment. If you take away the environment part (tracking) but keep the social part (players and their friends) intact, sure, people will still play; but would you not rather it be at its fullest potential?\nEveryone in the world wants to play Pokemon Go. It\u2019s been a huge part of everyone\u2019s lives already if it has not been clear enough. Look at the fans from Brazil\u200a\u2014\u200athey aren\u2019t spamming social media because they want to cause harm\u200a\u2014\u200athey just want to play the game. Just as I saw my friends play Pokemon many years ago, and wanted to be a part of it\u200a\u2014\u200athese guys are doing the same.\nThey just want to be with the rest of the world. Sadly, by the time they join, Pokemon Go may not be the game it was weeks ago.\nLastly, if money is an issue for you, Niantic, I must ask\u200a\u2014\u200awhy? You\u2019ve captivated the world and introduced Pokemon to people that would have never touched it had it not been for Pokemon Go. To me, that\u2019s priceless.\nYou won\u2019t be remembered for the profits you made, you\u2019ll be remembered for the world you changed through Pokemon and all of the lives you made better. Just look at all the stories\u200a\u2014\u200athere\u2019s plenty. So when millions of players are expressing their feedback to changes, is it not worth it to listen to what they have to say?\nIn its first few weeks, Pokemon Go has already enhanced millions of lives in unimaginable ways. It has so much potential to continue changing the world. Wouldn\u2019t you, Niantic, want to see just how much good you can do with Pokemon Go\u200a\u2014\u200ais that not more valuable than anything else? I sure think so.\nWarmly,\nYang",

+ "body": "Bitcoin, a Florida judge says, is not real money. Ironically, that could provide a boost to use of the crypto-currency which has remained in the shadows of the financial system.\n\nThe July 22 ruling by Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Teresa Pooler means that no specific license is needed to buy and sell bitcoins.\nThe judge dismissed a case against Michel Espinoza, who had faced money laundering and other criminal charges for attempting to sell $1,500 worth of bitcoins to an undercover agent who told the defendant he was going to use the virtual money to buy stolen credit card numbers.\nEspinoza's lawyer Rene Palomino said the judge acknowledged that it was not illegal to sell one's property and ruled that this did not constitute running an unauthorized financial service.\n\"He was selling his own personal bitcoins,\" Palomino said. \"This decision clears the way for you to do that in the state of the Florida without a money transmitting license.\"\nIn her ruling, Pooler said, \"this court is unwilling to punish a man for selling his property to another, when his actions fall under a statute that is so vaguely written that even legal professionals have difficulty finding a singular meaning.\"\n\nhttp://cdn.phys.org/newman/csz/news/800/2014/bitcoin.jpg\n\nShe added that \"this court is not an expert in economics,\" but that bitcoin \"has a long way to go before it is the equivalent of money.\"\nBitcoin, whose origins remain a mystery, is a virtual currency that is created from computer code and is not backed by any government. Advocates say this makes it an efficient alternative to traditional currencies because it is not subject to the whims of a state that may devalue its money to cut its debt, for example.\nBitcoins can be exchanged for goods and services, provided another party is willing to accept them, but until now they been used mostly for shady transactions or to buy illegal goods and services on the \"dark\" web.\nBitcoin was launched in 2009 as a bit of software written under the Japanese-sounding name Satoshi Nakamoto. This year Australian programmer Craig Wright claimed to be the author but failed to convince the broader bitcoin community.\nIn some areas of the United States bitcoin is accepted in stores, restaurants and online transactions, but it is illegal in some countries, notably France and China.\nIt is gaining ground in countries with high inflation such as Argentina and Venezuela.\nBut bitcoin values can be volatile. Over the past week its value slumped 20 percent in a day, then recouped most losses, after news that a Hong Kong bitcoin exchange had been hacked with some $65 million missing.\nImpact across US, world\nArthur Long, a lawyer specializing in the sector with the New York firm Gibson Dunn, said the July court ruling is a small victory for the virtual currency but that it's not clear if the interpretation will be the same in other US states or at the federal level.\n\"It may have an effect as some states are trying to use existing money transmitting statutes to regulate certain transactions in bitcoin,\" Long told AFP.\nCharles Evans, professor of finance at Barry University, said the ruling \"absolutely is going to provide some guidance in other courts\" and could potentially be used as a precedent in other countries to avoid the stigma associated with bitcoin use.\nBitcoins can store value and hedge against inflation, without being considered a monetary unit, according to Evans, who testified as an expert witness in the Florida trial.\n\"It can be used as an exchange,\" he said, and may be considered a commodity which can be used for bartering like fish or tobacco, for example.\nEvans noted that \"those who are not yet in the bitcoin community will be put on notice: as long as they organize their business in a particular way they can avoid the law.\"\nBut he added that \"people who are engaged in illegal activities will continue to do what they are going to do because they are criminals.\"",

+ "body": "Hi, I'm A.M for now, I'm in my mid-20s and want to share my story with working and facing this thing called life after I watched a lot of YouTubers like Thomas James \"TomSka\" David Brown \u201cboyinaband\u201d and many others who have very openly shared their hardships, they have inspired me to write this\u2026.. Whatever this is.\nI don't consider myself a good writer so bare with me here.\nTo try to keep this post organized and make sense I'll highlight the point I want to talk about and tell the relevant part of my story, you can connect the pieces all together at the end.\n\n**First how am I?** \nI grow up in the countryside I went to normal school when I was yang, because I was the quiet introvert and wasn't from the town I was in I got bullied a lot for most of my time at school, I got through school time knowing just two friends, I was OK with it.\nI genuinely lost interest in school when I was in the ninth grade It seemed more like a memory test than a way of learning so I started looking for ways to make money, \"why waste time learning things irrelevant in real life if I can make money now\" my naive 16 years old self said, don't get me wrong I didn't think I was done with learning I just wanted to learn in my own way, and I didn't stop school, now I'm in part time Business school, so back then I started looking for any way to make money in the last 5 year I tried: working in sales for over 2 years, selling products online, becoming instructor online, worked as SEO & social media consultant, tried starting my own business for 4 times, and for the last year and half I taught myself how to program and how to use Unity game engine and now I'm working on my first game, I can easily and proudly say that I didn't succeed at any of what I did so far, but I've learned a lot every time and I would do it all over again if I had the chance.\nThe process of picking myself up every single freaking time was a living hell and I got desperate many times.\nbecause I saw a lot of people feeling relevant to what David said in his video I want to share how I managed to keep my sanity and my opinion about some point he brought in his video.\n\n\n**Not thinking your work is good enough:**\nIs that really a bad thing? not being satisfied with what you just accomplished is a sign that you always look forward to what you still can do.\nI remember after I published my first course on Udemy I got invited to a hangout and I went for it I thought I'll give myself some slack, while I was there someone shouted out \"this guy here just published his first course let all give him a clap shall we\" for some reason he thought that was a good idea, I don't think I can blame him his intentions were good, I never tried to put a smile as hard as I did that moment I guess I just didn't want to look like a selfish prick, but the truth that I wasn't happy about what I accomplished I was thinking about my bad English poor structure of the course and was I being a sellout for trying to sell my knowledge? halfway of creating the course, I was already thinking about 5 other things I wanted to do next.\nI think there's nothing wrong about not being satisfied with what you finish, I think It's a good sign of an ambitious creator.\nWhen you first make the decision to accomplish something It looks like that godly thing that you think It would feel good to have or do, but when you start turning that big sexy thing to a small to-do list somewhere the appeal you had to that thing will disappear to a certain point, it's not that godly sexy thing you thought about before it's becoming a part of your routine now you know the process of doing that thing It's not a mystery anymore.\nI think that's why they say: \"It's about the journey, not the destination\".\n\n\n**Not taking care of yourself:**\nIt's hard to keep taking care of yourself to others people standards, whether it's about looking ripped putting makeup or buying the latest clothes, instead find your own save point and move forward from there if you feel the need to.\nWhen I was working in seals I had to look my best most of the time's which was exhausting more than the work itself and what made it worst is that some coworkers starting hinting that I need to start working out to look sharper and more confident.\nBecause I was desperate for results from my work I started going to the gym and I got stuck at joining for a month or two then giving up for half a year couple of times, every time I stopped going to the gym I over beat myself saying that I need this for my work, I need more money to do a lot of things, if this work didn't go well what else Am I going to do, eventually I usually took it out on food, I don't even want to start thinking what would have happened to me if my body was able to store fat.\nTrying to take care of yourself to others standards can be very exhausting, I felt down because I was putting so much effort in things I don't really care about to get others approval, I genuinely don't care about having a ripped body, it would look cool sure but I'm not willing to put all that effort into health and looks at least for now, who knows maybe in the future things will be better and I'll be willing to put the effort necessary to have 6 pack abs (wink wink ladies).\nNowadays I eat better than I used to, I still eat some junk food but things are much much better than they were 2 years ago, when I fell down I still go buy and drink a liter of Pepsi but at some point that was my morning coffee, as for my looks I cut my hair very short so I would have one less thing to worry about in the morning, I shave my beard once every couple of weeks I change my cloth every two or three days even if I didn't go out.\nThe point is I take care of myself for my own sack, It was much worse before and I'll always keep working to improve pit by pit.\nIt's about building habits not getting motivated for a couple of weeks then beating yourself for not being able to keep up.\n\n\n**Not mastering one skill:**\nI worked in sales, instructed online, worked as SEO and social media consultant, self taught myself how to program and make games but I don\u2019t think I\u2019m the right person to talk about this, all I\u2019m saying that if you didn\u2019t find that one true call that is right for you, you might be a \u201cmultipotentialite\u201d if you want to know what exactly does this mean I urge you to watch Emilie talk at TedX\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJORi5VO1F8\nAnd check the blog too if you want to know more \nhttp://puttylike.com/\n\n**Everything happens for a reason........ or does it?**\nWhen I was young I was fortunate to know a good old religious man, I don\u2019t know about your perspective about religions but hear me out this isn\u2019t a sermon, I still remember when he tried to teach me that everything happens for a reason I was like \u201cWHAT\u2026\u2026. Oh really, then what is the reason for this and this and that\u201d my question didn\u2019t stop and I wasn\u2019t asking nicely either yet, somehow he was calm about it like some kind of monk, I don\u2019t know if I ruined his day or not but I feel bad for taking the world misery out on him that day, he was just a simple man who was doing what he think is good for others, his intentions were good but unfortunately for him I wasn\u2019t a simple person, I overthink everything and everyone, it\u2019s my blessing and my curse, later I told my family about him and I was surprised that they knew him, apparently everyone knows each other in the countryside, they told me about what he was facing lately personally, financially, and emotionally, I didn\u2019t believe that someone who is facing all that isn\u2019t depressed or angry and even trying to do good for others at least by his believes, I wanted to know more about him he got my interest, I wanted to know if he\u2019s an imposter who is just putting a good face or not because a part of me didn\u2019t believe how can he be that good, I kept asking about him from time to time and sometimes I even went to his \u201clessons\u201d, eventually I went to face him with what I know about him like a detective facing a criminal, the crime of being that simple yet trying to be better than me, It\u2019s pathetic I know It\u2019s just how my brain works sometimes, because I used to take pride of being logical about everything and not believing in anything without questioning it, it bothered me how can he be at peace with his life and I\u2019m not even that he\u2019s facing a lot more than I\u2019m, I faced him and told him everything then asked how can you be this calm about everything that is happening in your life, he had a faint smile and said \u201cI don\u2019t know the reason for everything that is happening right now but everything happens for a reason\u201d I remember holding my fist hard and walking away, maybe I was holding my fist trying not to hit him for not being realistic like me or probably not to beat myself for not being half the man that he was.\nI don\u2019t know about your perspective about religions and I\u2019m not here to tell you about mine but I respect that some religions teach that everything happens for a reason, is it the truth? Does everything happens for a reason? I don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t think that is even the point, It\u2019s silly to even get in an argument about this because no one can be sure about it, it\u2019s simply just a belief, it\u2019s simply teach you to not overthink about the reasons for everything around you, just learn from it if you can and focus on what you can do, it\u2019s kind of funny for me to tell you not to overthink about somethings because I\u2019m sure my 19 year old me would punch me right in the face, but it\u2019s just too draining and exhausting to try to find a reason for every bad thing that have happened to me or to others.\nIn the last three years two of my best friends died, the first one I knew for about nine years and the other one for around five, both killed, both in a way they didn\u2019t deserve to, each time I had to force myself to focus on the 0.0000001% full part of the cup or else I would have lose my sanity.\nI would hate to think what would be my thought process if someone tried to sell me religion like a product, some of them would be like \u201cHi son, you should follow my beliefs because I\u2019m 100% sure that I\u2019m right and everybody else is wrong and if you don\u2019t, well you\u2019re FU**ED\u201d that would have disfigured some of the beliefs that helped me get better.\nControlling your stream of thoughts will be the hardest thing you\u2019ll ever have to do in your life, but if mastered it you\u2019ll become unstoppable.\n\n\nI\u2019ve been getting into the game industry for around year and half now, I don\u2019t have any experiance in the field but I\u2019ve other experiences that many don\u2019t, working in sales made me learn a lot about people's motivations and incentives, I saw a lot of people jump to make purchase while other chicken out last minute, you don\u2019t get to learn about this in a book or an NLP course, you only get to learn this experience by working in sales first hand, working as an SEO and social media consultant made me care about the little details like posting in the right social medias that is more relevant to your audience, more isn\u2019t always better, choosing the right words colors and timing for best result, sometimes modifying your content for a better marketing or not going into a certain niche even if there\u2019s an audience for it because it doesn\u2019t suit your brand, teaching online made me learn that the selling point isn\u2019t the end goal, helping and mentoring students even after they have purchased the course was way more important than I thought, the feedback I got about the course was crucial to take the course to the next level and some student even helped me with some marketing.\nIf you know anything about the mobile game industry you can see how these experiences can be helpful, I can imagine the kind of journey I want to create for the player because I can build the motivations and incentives I want for him, while I\u2019m building the player journey I\u2019ll always keep in mind to put the monetization and ads the right way so all of them can work seamlessly together for a better player experience, and taking care of existing players and community will always be a priority, I wasn\u2019t happy and cheerful when I had to learn these experiences the hard way, I thought I was just failing, I even remember crying myself to sleep every time I decided to pull the plug on something I was working on, but eventually It worked out somehow I think.\n\u201cyou can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life\u201d.\nSteve Jobs\n\n\nI want to share some of the tricks I used that helped my in general to get my life together:\n\n**Music**\nlisten to cheerful music, even if it might not be exactly what you listen to usually but try them for a while, my favorite type or music is Rock and Metal it\u2019s loud and make me feel empowered but sometimes it's not what I need to change my mood so I started listening to electro music mostly Drum & bass, I didn\u2019t like it at first, I\u2019m human I don\u2019t like to change, but forcing myself to listen to it for while change my perspective about it and I started listening to it while I\u2019m working, and it worked.\n\n\n**habits not motivation**\nWe\u2019re slaves to our habits, it\u2019s exhausting to do something that\u2019s you\u2019re not used to for quite a while, so invest your effort and time to build your habits pit by pit no matter how slow it will take, measure your progress and celebrate your success no matter how small they\u2019re, it\u2019ll make all the difference in your life in the long term.\n\n**work in a group**\nNo matter how introverted person you think you\u2019re, you\u2019re still human at the end of day and you need your dose of human interaction so try to work in group if you can, if you don\u2019t have that luxury (like me) work out side from time to time, library, coffee shop, parks all works, changing your surrounding and environment can change your mood, you can try changing your room\\office decor every couple of weeks too.\n\n**warm-blooded pet**\nGet a warm-blooded pet it helps, I tried fish and turtles but didn\u2019t really work for me they just stared at me with their empty eyes, I have a cat for two year now and It helped, maybe it\u2019s having the sense of that there is a creature that needs you to look after him, it\u2019s helped me not to feel completely unworthy in some bad day.\n\n\nFinally I hope this help you in any way it can, and hope it will find its way to all who needs it.",

It explores the state of AI development, overviews its challenges and dangers, features work by the most significant scientists, and describes the main predictions of possible AI outcomes. This project is an adaptation and major shortening of the two\u2013part essay AI Revolution by Tim Urban of Wait But Why. I shortened it by a factor of 3, recreated all images, and tweaked it a bit. Read more on why/how I wrote it here.\nIntroduction\nAssuming that human scientific activity continues without major disruptions, artificial intelligence may become either the most positive transformation of our history or, as many fear, our most dangerous invention of all. AI research is on a steady path to develop a computer that has cognitive abilities equal to the human brain, most likely within three decades (timeline in chapter 5). From what most AI scientists predict, this invention may enable very rapid improvements (called fast take-off), toward something much more powerful\u200a\u2014\u200aArtificial Super Intelligence\u200a\u2014\u200aan entity smarter than all of humanity combined (more on ASI in chapter 3). We are not talking about some imaginary future. The first level of AI development is gradually appearing in the technology we use everyday (newest AI advancements in chapter 2). With every coming year these advancements will accelerate and the technology will become more complex, addictive, and ubiquitous. We will continue to outsource more and more kinds of mental work to computers, disrupting every part of our reality: the way we organize ourselves and our work, form communities, and experience the world.\nExponential Growth\nThe Guiding Principle Behind Technological Progress\nTo more intuitively grasp the guiding principles of AI revolution, let\u2019s first step away from scientific research. Let me invite you to take part in a story. Imagine that you\u2019ve received a time machine and been given a quest to bring somebody from the past. The goal is to shock them by showing them the technological and cultural advancements of our time, to such a degree that this person would perform SAFD (Spinning Around From Disbelief).\n\nSo you wonder which era should you time-travel to, and decide to hop back around 200 years. You get to the early 1800s, retrieve a guy and bring him back to 2016. You \u201c\u2026walk him around and watch him react to everything. It\u2019s impossible for us to understand what it would be like for him to see shiny capsules racing by on a highway, talk to people who had been on the other side of the ocean earlier in the day, watch sports that were being played 1,000 miles away, hear a musical performance that happened 50 years ago, and play with \u2026[a] magical wizard rectangle that he could use to capture a real-life image or record a living moment, generate a map with a paranormal moving blue dot that shows him where he is, look at someone\u2019s face and chat with them even though they\u2019re on the other side of the country, and worlds of other inconceivable sorcery.\u201d\u00b9 It doesn\u2019t take much. After two minutes he is SAFDing.\nNow, both of you want to try the same thing, see somebody Spinning Around From Disbelief, but in your new friend\u2019s era. Since 200 years worked, you jump back to the 1600s and bring a guy to the 1800s. He\u2019s certainly genuinely interested in what he sees. However, you feel it with confidence\u200a\u2014\u200aSAFD will never happen to him. You feel that you need to jump back again, but somewhere radically further. You settle on rewinding the clock 15,000 years, to the times \u201c\u2026before the First Agricultural Revolution gave rise to the first cities and the concept of civilisations.\u201d\u00b2 You bring someone from the hunter-gatherer world and show him \u201c\u2026the vast human empires of 1750 with their towering churches, their ocean-crossing ships, their concept of being \u201cinside,\u201d and their enormous mountain of collective, accumulated human knowledge and discovery\u201d\u00b3\u200a\u2014\u200ain forms of books. It doesn\u2019t take much. He is SAFDing in the first two minutes.\nNow there are three of you, enormously excited to do it again. You know that it doesn\u2019t make sense to go back another 15,000, 30,000 or 45,000 years. You have to jump back, again, radically further. So you pick up a guy from 100,000 years ago and you you walk with him into large tribes with organized, sophisticated social hierarchies. He encounters a variety of hunting weapons, sophisticated tools, sees fire and for the first time experiences language in the form of signs and sounds. You get the idea, it has to be immensely mind-blowing. He is SAFDing after two minutes.\nSo what happened? Why did the last guy had to hop \u2192 100,000 years, the next one \u2192 15,000 years, and the guy who was hopping to our times only \u2192 200 years?\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*Wbd0td3DqD3pJo7_YHjkbQ.gif\n\n\u201cThis happens because more advanced societies have the ability to progress at a faster rate than less advanced societies\u200a\u2014\u200abecause they\u2019re more advanced. [1800s] humanity knew more and had better technology\u2026\u201d\u2074, so it\u2019s no wonder they could make further advancements than humanity from 15,000 years ago. The time to achieve SAFD shrank from ~100,000 years to ~200 years and if we look into the future it will rapidly shrink even further. Ray Kurzweil, AI expert and scientist, predicts that a \u201c\u202620th century\u2019s worth of progress happened between 2000 and 2014 and that another 20th century\u2019s worth of progress will happen by 2021, in only seven years\u2075\u2026A couple decades later, he believes a 20th century\u2019s worth of progress will happen multiple times in the same year, and even later, in less than one month\u2076\u2026Kurzweil believes that the 21st century will achieve 1,000 times the progress of the 20th century.\u201d\u2077\n\u201cLogic also suggests that if the most advanced species on a planet keeps making larger and larger leaps forward at an ever-faster rate, at some point, they\u2019ll make a leap so great that it completely alters life as they know it and the perception they have of what it means to be a human. Kind of like how evolution kept making great leaps toward intelligence until finally it made such a large leap to the human being that it completely altered what it meant for any creature to live on planet Earth. And if you spend some time reading about what\u2019s going on today in science and technology, you start to see a lot of signs quietly hinting that life as we currently know it cannot withstand the leap that\u2019s coming next.\u201d\u2078\nThe Road to Artificial General Intelligence\nBuilding a Computer as Smart as Humans\nArtificial Intelligence, or AI, is a broad term for the advancement of intelligence in computers. Despite varied opinions on this topic, most experts agree that there are three categories, or calibers, of AI development. They are:\nANI: Artificial Narrow Intelligence\n1st intelligence caliber. \u201cAI that specializes in one area. There\u2019s AI that can beat the world chess champion in chess, but that\u2019s the only thing it does.\u201d\u2079\nAGI: Artificial General Intelligence\n2nd intelligence caliber. AI that reaches and then passes the intelligence level of a human, meaning it has the ability to \u201creason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\nASI: Artificial Super Intelligence\n3rd intelligence caliber. AI that achieves a level of intelligence smarter than all of humanity combined\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cranging from just a little smarter \u2026 to one trillion times smarter.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*5AkzXZJoVXRrGNSOO8ZojQ.gif\n\nWhere are we currently?\n\u201cAs of now, humans have conquered the lowest caliber of AI\u200a\u2014\u200aANI\u200a\u2014\u200ain many ways, and it\u2019s everywhere:\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\n\u201cCars are full of ANI systems, from the computer that figures out when the anti-lock brakes kick in, to the computer that tunes the parameters of the fuel injection systems.\u201d\u00b9\u00b3\n\u201cGoogle search is one large ANI brain with incredibly sophisticated methods for ranking pages and figuring out what to show you in particular. Same goes for Facebook\u2019s Newsfeed.\u201d\u00b9\u2074\nEmail spam filters \u201cstart off loaded with intelligence about how to figure out what\u2019s spam and what\u2019s not, and then it learns and tailors its intelligence to your particular preferences.\u201d\u00b9\u2075\nPassenger planes are flown almost entirely by ANI, without the help of humans.\n\u201cGoogle\u2019s self-driving car, which is being tested now, will contain robust ANI systems that allow it to perceive and react to the world around it.\u201d\u00b9\u2076\n\u201cYour phone is a little ANI factory \u2026 you navigate using your map app, receive tailored music recommendations from Pandora, check tomorrow\u2019s weather, talk to Siri.\u201d\u00b9\u2077\n\u201cThe world\u2019s best Checkers, Chess, Scrabble, Backgammon, and Othello players are now all ANI systems.\u201d\u00b9\u2078\n\u201cSophisticated ANI systems are widely used in sectors and industries like military, manufacturing, and finance (algorithmic high-frequency AI traders account for more than half of equity shares traded on US markets\u00b9\u2079).\u201d\u00b2\u2070\n\u201cANI systems as they are now aren\u2019t especially scary. At worst, a glitchy or badly-programed ANI can cause an isolated catastrophe like\u201d\u00b2\u00b9 a plane crash, a nuclear power plant malfunction, or \u201ca financial markets disaster (like the 2010 Flash Crash when an ANI program reacted the wrong way to an unexpected situation and caused the stock market to briefly plummet, taking $1 trillion of market value with it, only part of which was recovered when the mistake was corrected) \u2026 But while ANI doesn\u2019t have the capability to cause an existential threat, we should see this increasingly large and complex ecosystem of relatively-harmless ANI as a precursor of the world-altering hurricane that\u2019s on the way. Each new ANI innovation quietly adds another brick onto the road to AGI and ASI.\u201d\u00b2\u00b2\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*Ia8wUuZPxpUNzvUjNRsxpA.gif\n\nWhat\u2019s Next? Challenges Behind Reaching AGI\n\u201cNothing will make you appreciate human intelligence like learning about how unbelievably challenging it is to try to create a computer as smart as we are \u2026 Build a computer that can multiply ten-digit numbers in a split second\u200a\u2014\u200aincredibly easy. Build one that can look at a dog and answer whether it\u2019s a dog or a cat\u200a\u2014\u200aspectacularly difficult. Make AI that can beat any human in chess? Done. Make one that can read a paragraph from a six-year-old\u2019s picture book and not just recognise the words but understand the meaning of them? Google is currently spending billions of dollars trying to do it.\u201d\u00b2\u00b3\nWhy are \u201chard things\u200a\u2014\u200alike calculus, financial market strategy, and language translation \u2026 mind-numbingly easy for a computer, while easy things\u200a\u2014\u200alike vision, motion, movement, and perception\u200a\u2014\u200aare insanely hard for it\u201d\u00b2\u2074?\n\u201cThings that seem easy to us are actually unbelievably complicated. They only seem easy because those skills have been optimized in us (and most animals) by hundreds of million years of animal evolution. When you reach your hand up toward an object, the muscles, tendons, and bones in your shoulder, elbow, and wrist instantly perform a long series of physics operations, in conjunction with your eyes, to allow you to move your hand in a straight line through three dimensions \u2026 On the other hand, multiplying big numbers or playing chess are new activities for biological creatures and we haven\u2019t had any time to evolve a proficiency at them, so a computer doesn\u2019t need to work too hard to beat us.\u201d\u00b2\u2075\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/0*E-qdF22nxvOrVPxP.\n\nWhen you look at picture A, \u201cyou and a computer both can figure out that it\u2019s a rectangle with two distinct shades, alternating. Tied so far.\u201d\u00b2\u2076\nPicture B. \u201cYou have no problem giving a full description of the various opaque and translucent cylinders, slats, and 3-D corners, but the computer would fail miserably. It would describe what it sees\u200a\u2014\u200aa variety of two-dimensional shapes in several different shades\u200a\u2014\u200awhich is actually what\u2019s there.\u201d\u00b2\u2077 \u201cYour brain is doing a ton of fancy shit to interpret the implied depth, shade-mixing, and room lighting the picture is trying to portray.\u201d\u00b2\u2078\nLooking at picture C, \u201ca computer sees a two-dimensional white, black, and gray collage, while you easily see what it really is\u201d\u00b2\u2079\u200a\u2014\u200aa photo of a girl and a dog standing on a rocky shore.\n\u201cAnd everything we just mentioned is still only taking in visual information and processing it. To be human-level intelligent, a computer would have to understand things like the difference between subtle facial expressions, the distinction between being pleased, relieved and content\u201d\u00b3\u2070.\nHow will computers reach even higher abilities like complex reasoning, interpreting data, and associating ideas from separate fields (domain-general knowledge)?\n\u201cBuilding skyscrapers, putting humans in space, figuring out the details of how the Big Bang went down\u200a\u2014\u200aall far easier than understanding our own brain or how to make something as cool as it. As of now, the human brain is the most complex object in the known universe.\u201d\u00b3\u00b9\nBuilding Hardware\nIf an artificial intelligence is going to be as intelligent as the human brain, one crucial thing has to happen\u200a\u2014\u200athe AI \u201cneeds to equal the brain\u2019s raw computing capacity. One way to express this capacity is in the total calculations per second the brain could manage.\u201d\u00b3\u00b2\n\nThe challenge is that currently only a few of the brain\u2019s regions are precisely measured. However, Ray Kurzweil, has developed a method for estimating the total cps of the human brain. He arrived at this estimate by taking the cps from one brain region and multiplying it proportionally to the weight of that region, compared to the weight of the whole brain. \u201cHe did this a bunch of times with various professional estimates of different regions, and the total always arrived in the same ballpark\u200a\u2014\u200aaround 10\u00b9\u2076, or 10 quadrillion cps.\u201d\u00b3\u00b3\n\u201cCurrently, the world\u2019s fastest supercomputer, China\u2019s Tianhe-2, has actually beaten that number, clocking in at about 34 quadrillion cps.\u201d\u00b3\u2074 But Tianhe-2 is also monstrous, \u201ctaking up 720 square meters of space, using 24 megawatts of power (the brain runs on just 20 watts), and costing $390 million to build. Not especially applicable to wide usage, or even most commercial or industrial usage yet.\u201d\u00b3\u2075\n\u201cKurzweil suggests that we think about the state of computers by looking at how many cps you can buy for $1,000. When that number reaches human-level\u200a\u2014\u200a10 quadrillion cps\u200a\u2014\u200athen that\u2019ll mean AGI could become a very real part of life.\u201d\u00b3\u2076\nCurrently we\u2019re only at about 10\u00b9\u2070 (10 trillion) cps per $1,000. However, historically reliable Moore\u2019s Law states \u201cthat the world\u2019s maximum computing power doubles approximately every two years, meaning computer hardware advancement, like general human advancement through history, grows exponentially\u00b3\u2077 \u2026 right on pace with this graph\u2019s predicted trajectory:\u201d\u00b3\u2078\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*4qcqwbsWjvWh-BWPnAsp6g.gif\n\nThis dynamic \u201cputs us right on pace to get to an affordable computer by 2025 that rivals the power of the brain \u2026 But raw computational power alone doesn\u2019t make a computer generally intelligent\u200a\u2014\u200athe next question is, how do we bring human-level intelligence to all that power?\u201d\u00b3\u2079\nBuilding Software\nThe hardest part of creating AGI is learning how to develop its software. \u201cThe truth is, no one really knows how to make it smart\u200a\u2014\u200awe\u2019re still debating how to make a computer human-level intelligent and capable of knowing what a dog and a weird-written B and a mediocre movie is.\u201d\u2074\u2070 But there are a couple of strategies. These are the three most common:\nCopy how the brain works.\nThe most straight-forward idea is to plagiarize the brain, and build the computer\u2019s architecture with close resemblance to how a brain is structured. One example \u201cis the artificial neural network. It starts out as a network of transistor \u2018neurons,\u2019 connected to each other with inputs and outputs, and it knows nothing\u200a\u2014\u200alike an infant brain. The way it \u2018learns\u2019 is it tries to do a task, say handwriting recognition, and at first, its neural firings and subsequent guesses at deciphering each letter will be completely random. But when it\u2019s told it got something right, the transistor connections in the firing pathways that happened to create that answer are strengthened; when it\u2019s told it was wrong, those pathways\u2019 connections are weakened. After a lot of this trial and feedback, the network has, by itself, formed smart neural pathways and the machine has become optimized for the task.\u201d\u2074\u00b9\nThe second, more radical approach to plagiarism is whole brain emulation. Scientists take a real brain, cut it into a large number of tiny slices to look at the neural connections and replicate them in a computer as software. If that method is ever successful, we will have \u201ca computer officially capable of everything the brain is capable of\u200a\u2014\u200ait would just need to learn and gather information \u2026 How far are we from achieving whole brain emulation? Well so far, we\u2019ve just recently been able to emulate a 1mm-long flatworm brain, which consists of just 302 total neurons.\u201d\u2074\u00b2 To put this into perspective, the human brain consists of 86 billion neurons linked by trillions of synapses.\n2. Introduce evolution to computers.\n\u201cThe fact is, even if we can emulate a brain, that might be like trying to build an airplane by copying a bird\u2019s wing-flapping motions\u200a\u2014\u200aoften, machines are best designed using a fresh, machine-oriented approach, not by mimicking biology exactly.\u201d\u2074\u00b3 If the brain is just too complex for us to digitally replicate, we could try to emulate evolution instead. This uses a process called genetic algorithms. \u201cA group of computers would try to do tasks, and the most successful ones would be bred with each other by having half of each of their programming merged together into a new computer. The less successful ones would be eliminated.\u201d\u2074\u2074 Speed and a goal-oriented approach are the advantages that artificial evolution has over biological evolution. \u201cOver many, many iterations, this natural selection process would produce better and better computers. The challenge would be creating an automated evaluation and breeding cycle so this evolution process could run on its own.\u201d\u2074\u2075\n3. \u201cMake this whole thing the computer\u2019s problem, not ours.\u201d\u2074\u2076\nThe last concept is the simplest, but probably the scariest of them all. \u201cWe\u2019d build a computer whose two major skills would be doing research on AI and coding changes into itself\u200a\u2014\u200aallowing it to not only learn but to improve its own architecture. We\u2019d teach computers to be computer scientists so they could bootstrap their own development.\u201d\u2074\u2077 This is the likeliest way to get AGI soon that we know of.\nAll these software advances may seem slow or a little bit intangible, but as it is with the sciences, one minor innovation can suddenly accelerate the pace of developments. Kind of like the aftermath of the Copernican revolution\u200a\u2014\u200athe discovery that suddenly made all the complicated mathematics of the planets\u2019 trajectories much easier to calculate, which enabled a multitude of other innovations. Also, the \u201cexponential growth is intense and what seems like a snail\u2019s pace of advancement can quickly race upwards.\u201d\u2074\u2078\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/1*BHwAlKJFYwKYEzZlitNTvQ.gif\n\nThe Road to Artificial Super Intelligence\nAn Entity Smarter than all of Humanity Combined\nIt\u2019s very real that at some point we will achieve AGI: software that has achieved human-level, or beyond human-level, intelligence. Does this mean that at that very moment the computers will be equally capable as us? Actually, not at all\u200a\u2014\u200acomputers will be way more efficient. Because of the fact that they are electronic, they will have following advantages:\nSpeed. \u201cThe brain\u2019s neurons max out at around 200 Hz, while today\u2019s microprocessors \u2026 run at 2 GHz, or 10 million times faster.\u201d\u2075\u00b9\nMemory. Forgetting or confusing things is much harder in an artificial world. Computers can memorize more things in one second than a human can in ten years. A computer\u2019s memory is also more precise and has a much greater storage capacity.\nPerformance. \u201cComputer transistors are more accurate than biological neurons, and they\u2019re less likely to deteriorate (and can be repaired or replaced if they do). Human brains also get fatigued easily, while computers can run nonstop, at peak performance, 24/7.\u201d\u2075\u00b2\nCollective capability. Group work is ridiculously challenging because of time-consuming communication and complex social hierarchies. The bigger the group gets, the slower the output of each person becomes. AI, on the other hand, isn\u2019t biologically constrained to one body, won\u2019t have human cooperation problems, and is able to synchronize and update its own operating system.\nIntelligence Explosion\nWe need to realize that AI \u201cwouldn\u2019t see \u2018human-level intelligence\u2019 as some important milestone\u200a\u2014\u200ait\u2019s only a relevant marker from our point of view\u200a\u2014\u200aand wouldn\u2019t have any reason to \u2018stop\u2019 at our level. And given the advantages over us that even human intelligence-equivalent AGI would have, it\u2019s pretty obvious that it would only hit human intelligence for a brief instant before racing onwards to the realm of superior-to-human intelligence.\u201d\u2075\u00b3\nThe true distinction between humans and ASI wouldn\u2019t be its advantage in intelligence speed, but \u201cin intelligence quality\u200a\u2014\u200awhich is something completely different. What makes humans so much more intellectually capable than chimps isn\u2019t a difference in thinking speed\u200a\u2014\u200ait\u2019s that human brains contain a number of sophisticated cognitive modules that enable things like complex linguistic representations or longterm planning or abstract reasoning, that chimps\u2019 brains do not have. Speeding up a chimp\u2019s brain by thousands of times wouldn\u2019t bring him to our level\u200a\u2014\u200aeven with a decade\u2019s time of learning, he wouldn\u2019t be able to figure out how to \u2026 \u201d\u2075\u2074 assemble a semi-complicated Lego model by looking at its manual\u200a\u2014\u200asomething a young human could achieve in a few minutes. \u201cThere are worlds of human cognitive function a chimp will simply never be capable of, no matter how much time he spends trying.\u201d\u2075\u2075\n\u201cAnd in the scheme of the biological intelligence range \u2026 the chimp-to-human quality intelligence gap is tiny.\u201d\u2075\u2076\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*vnVWATTAMCwfnJu_iZn2RQ.jpeg\n\nIn order to render how big a deal it would be to exist with something that has a higher quality of intelligence than us, we need to imagine AI on the intelligence staircase two steps above us\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cits increased cognitive ability over us would be as vast as the chimp\u2013human gap \u2026 And like the chimp\u2019s incapacity to ever absorb \u2026\u201d\u2075\u2077 what kind of magic happens in the mechanism of a doorknob\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cwe will never be able to even comprehend the things \u2026 [a machine of that intelligence] can do, even if the machine tried to explain them to us \u2026 And that\u2019s only two steps above us.\u201d\u2075\u2078\n\u201cA machine on the second-to-highest step on that staircase would be to us as we are to ants.\u201d\u2075\u2079 \u201cSuperintelligence of that magnitude is not something we can remotely grasp, any more than a bumblebee can wrap its head around Keynesian Economics. In our world, smart means a 130 IQ and stupid means an 85 IQ\u200a\u2014\u200awe don\u2019t have a word for an IQ of 12,952.\u201d\u2076\u2070\n\u201cBut the kind of superintelligence we\u2019re talking about today is something far beyond anything on this staircase. In an intelligence explosion\u200a\u2014\u200awhere the smarter a machine gets, the quicker it\u2019s able to increase its own intelligence\u200a\u2014\u200aa machine might take years to rise from \u2026 \u201d\u2076\u00b9 the intelligence of an ant to the intelligence of the average human, but it might take only another 40 days to become Einstein-smart. When that happens, \u201cit works to improve its intelligence, with an Einstein-level intellect, it has an easier time and can make bigger leaps. These leaps will make it much smarter than any human, allowing it to make even bigger leaps.\u201d\u2076\u00b2\nFrom then on, following the rule of exponential advancements and utilizing the speed and efficiency of electrical circuits, it may perhaps take only 20 minutes to jump another step, \u201cand by the time it\u2019s ten steps above us, it might be jumping up in four-step leaps every second that goes by. Which is why we need to realize that it\u2019s distinctly possible that very shortly after the big news story about the first machine reaching human-level AGI, we might be facing the reality of coexisting on the Earth with something that\u2019s here on the staircase (or maybe a million times higher):\u201d\u2076\u00b3\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*LdJxmWCjSdweUKvb.\n\n\u201cAnd since we just established that it\u2019s a hopeless activity to try to understand the power of a machine only two steps above us, let\u2019s very concretely state once and for all that there is no way to know what ASI will do or what the consequences will be for us. Anyone who pretends otherwise doesn\u2019t understand what superintelligence means.\u201d\u2076\u2074\n\u201cIf our meager brains were able to invent wifi, then something 100 or 1,000 or 1 billion times smarter than we are should have no problem controlling the positioning of each and every atom in the world in any way it likes, at any time\u200a\u2014\u200aeverything we consider magic, every power we imagine a supreme God to have will be as mundane an activity for the ASI as flipping on a light switch is for us.\u201d\u2076\u2075\n\u201cAs far as we\u2019re concerned, if an ASI comes into being, there is now an omnipotent God on Earth\u200a\u2014\u200aand the all-important question for us is: Will it be a good god?\u201d\u2076\u2076\nLet\u2019s start from the brighter side of the story.\nHow Can ASI Change our World?\nSpeculations on Two Revolutionary Technologies\nNanotechnology\nNanotechnology is an idea that comes up \u201cin almost everything you read about the future of AI.\u201d\u2076\u2077 It\u2019s the technology that works at the nano scale\u200a\u2014\u200afrom 1 to 100 nanometers. \u201cA nanometer is a millionth of a millimeter. 1 nm\u2013100 nm range encompasses viruses (100 nm accross), DNA (10 nm wide), and things as small as molecules like hemoglobin (5 nm) and medium molecules like glucose (1 nm). If/when we conquer nanotechnology, the next step will be the ability to manipulate individual atoms, which are only one order of magnitude smaller (~.1 nm).\u201d\u2076\u2078\nTo put this into perspective, imagine a very tall human standing on the earth, with a head that reaches the International Space Station (431 km/268 mi high). The giant is reaching down with his hand (30 km/19 mi across) to build \u201cobjects using materials between the size of a grain of sand [.25 mm] and an eyeball [2.5 cm].\u201d\u2076\u2079\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/1*e9Ut3QT2F3tNh4h5U4rR8A.jpeg\n\n\u201cOnce we get nanotechnology down, we can use it to make tech devices, clothing, food, a variety of bio-related products\u200a\u2014\u200aartificial blood cells, tiny virus or cancer-cell destroyers, muscle tissue, etc.\u200a\u2014\u200aanything really. And in a world that uses nanotechnology, the cost of a material is no longer tied to its scarcity or the difficulty of its manufacturing process, but instead determined by how complicated its atomic structure is. In a nanotech world, a diamond might be cheaper than a pencil eraser.\u201d\u2077\u2070\nOne of the proposed methods of nanotech assembly is to make \u201cone that could self-replicate, and then let the reproduction process turn that one into two, those two then turn into four, four into eight, and in about a day, there\u2019d be a few trillion of them ready to go.\u201d\u2077\u00b9\nBut what if this process goes wrong or terrorists manage to get ahold of the technology? Let\u2019s imagine a scenario where nanobots \u201cwould be designed to consume any carbon-based material in order to feed the replication process, and unpleasantly, all life is carbon-based. The Earth\u2019s biomass contains about 1\u2070\u2074\u2075 carbon atoms. A nanobot would consist of about 1\u2070\u2076 carbon atoms, so it would take 1\u2070\u00b3\u2079 nanobots to consume all life on Earth, which would happen in 130 replications. \u2026 Scientists think a nanobot could replicate in about 100 seconds, meaning this simple mistake would inconveniently end all life on Earth in 3.5 hours.\u201d\u2077\u00b2\nWe are not yet capable of harnessing nanotechnology\u200a\u2014\u200afor good or for bad. \u201cAnd it\u2019s not clear if we\u2019re underestimating, or overestimating, how hard it will be to get there. But we don\u2019t seem to be that far away. Kurzweil predicts that we\u2019ll get there by the 2020s.\u2077\u00b3Governments know that nanotech could be an Earth-shaking development \u2026 The US, the EU, and Japan\u2077\u2074 have invested over a combined $5 billion so far\u201d\u2077\u2075\nImmortality\n\u201cBecause everyone has always died, we live under the assumption \u2026 that death is inevitable. We think of aging like time\u200a\u2014\u200aboth keep moving and there\u2019s nothing you can do to stop it.\u201d\u2077\u2076 For centuries, poets and philosophers have wondered if consciousness doesn\u2019t have to go the way of the body. W.B. Yeats describes us as \u201ca soul fastened to a dying animal.\u201d\u2077\u2077 Richard Feynman, Nobel awarded physicists, views death from a purely scientific standpoint:\n\u201cIt is one of the most remarkable things that in all of the biological sciences there is no clue as to the necessity of death. If you say we want to make perpetual motion, we have discovered enough laws as we studied physics to see that it is either absolutely impossible or else the laws are wrong. But there is nothing in biology yet found that indicates the inevitability of death. This suggests to me that it is not at all inevitable, and that it is only a matter of time before the biologists discover what it is that is causing us the trouble and that that terrible universal disease or temporariness of the human\u2019s body will be cured.\u201d\u2077\u2078\nTheory of great species attractors\nWhen we look at the history of biological life on earth, so far 99.9% of species have gone extinct. Nick Bostrom, Oxford professor and AI specialist, \u201ccalls extinction an attractor state\u200a\u2014\u200aa place species are \u2026 falling into and from which no species ever returns.\u201d\u2077\u2079\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/0*o-MXeAYfUtWnOJKC.\n\n\u201cAnd while most AI scientists \u2026 acknowledge that ASI would have the ability to send humans to extinction, many also believe that if used beneficially, ASI\u2019s abilities could be used to bring individual humans, and the species as a whole, to a second attractor state\u200a\u2014\u200aspecies immortality.\u201d\u2078\u2070\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/0*aYeNOSBxp4gieGwp.\n\n\u201cEvolution had no good reason to extend our lifespans any longer than they are now \u2026 From an evolutionary point of view, the whole human species can thrive with a 30+ year lifespan\u201d for each single human. It\u2019s long enough to reproduce and raise children \u2026 so there\u2019s no reason for mutations toward unusually long life being favored in the natural selection process.\u201d\u2078\u00b9Though, \u201cif you perfectly repaired or replaced a car\u2019s parts whenever one of them began to wear down, the car would run forever. The human body isn\u2019t any different\u200a\u2014\u200ajust far more complex \u2026 This seems absurd\u200a\u2014\u200abut the body is just a bunch of atoms\u2026\u201d\u2078\u00b2 making up organically programmed DNA, which it is theoretically possible to manipulate. And something as powerful as ASI could help us master genetic engineering.\nRay Kurzweil believes that \u201cartificial materials will be integrated into the body more and more \u2026 Organs could be replaced by super-advanced machine versions that would run forever and never fail.\u201d\u2078\u00b3 Red blood cells could be perfected by \u201cred blood cell nanobots, who could power their own movement, eliminating the need for a heart at all \u2026 Nanotech theorist Robert A. Freitas has already designed blood cell replacements that, if one day implemented in the body, would allow a human to sprint for 15 minutes without taking a breath \u2026 [Kurzweil] even gets to the brain and believes we\u2019ll enhance our mental activities to the point where humans will be able to think billions of times faster\u201d\u2078\u2074 by integrating electrical components and being able to access online data.\n\u201cEventually, Kurzweil believes humans will reach a point when they\u2019re entirely artificial, a time when we\u2019ll look back at biological material and think how unbelievably primitive primitive it was that humans were ever made of that\u201d\u2078\u2075and that humans aged, suffered from cancer, allowed random factors like microbes, diseases, accidents to harm us or make us disappear.\u201d\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*NcWWmd677RVWQRpLsz5X9g.jpeg\n\nWhen Will The First Machine Become Superintelligent?\nPredictions from Top AI Experts\n\u201cHow long until the first machine reaches superintelligence? Not shockingly, opinions vary wildly, and this is a heated debate among scientists and thinkers. Many, like professor Vernor Vinge, scientist Ben Goertzel, Sun Microsystems co-founder Bill Joy, or, most famously, inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil, agree with machine learning expert Jeremy Howard when he puts up this graph during a TED Talk\n\n\u201cThose people subscribe to the belief that this is happening soon\u200a\u2014\u200athat exponential growth is at work and machine learning, though only slowly creeping up on us now, will blow right past us within the next few decades.\n\u201cOthers, like Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, research psychologist Gary Marcus, NYU computer scientist Ernest Davis, and tech entrepreneur Mitch Kapor, believe that thinkers like Kurzweil are vastly underestimating the magnitude of the challenge [and the transition will actually take much more time] \u2026\n\u201cThe Kurzweil camp would counter that the only underestimating that\u2019s happening is the underappreciation of exponential growth, and they\u2019d compare the doubters to those who looked at the slow-growing seedling of the internet in 1985 and argued that there was no way it would amount to anything impactful in the near future.\n\u201cThe doubters might argue back that the progress needed to make advancements in intelligence also grows exponentially harder with each subsequent step, which will cancel out the typical exponential nature of technological progress. And so on.\n\u201cA third camp, which includes Nick Bostrom, believes neither group has any ground to feel certain about the timeline and acknowledges both A) that this could absolutely happen in the near future and B) that there\u2019s no guarantee about that; it could also take a much longer time.\n\u201cStill others, like philosopher Hubert Dreyfus, believe all three of these groups are naive for believing that there is potential of ASI, arguing that it\u2019s more likely that it won\u2019t actually ever be achieved.\n\u201cSo what do you get when you put all of these opinions together?\u201d\u2078\u2076\nTimeline for Artificial General Intelligence\n\u201cIn 2013, Vincent C. M\u00fcller and Nick Bostrom conducted a survey that asked hundreds of AI experts \u2026 the following:\u201d\u2078\u2077\n\u201cFor the purposes of this question, assume that human scientific activity continues without major negative disruption. By what year would you see a (10% / 50% / 90%) probability for such Human-Level Machine Intelligence [or what we call AGI] to exist?\u201d\u2078\u2078\nThe survey \u201casked them to name an optimistic year (one in which they believe there\u2019s a 10% chance we\u2019ll have AGI), a realistic guess (a year they believe there\u2019s a 50% chance of AGI\u200a\u2014\u200ai.e. after that year they think it\u2019s more likely than not that we\u2019ll have AGI), and a safe guess (the earliest year by which they can say with 90% certainty we\u2019ll have AGI). Gathered together as one data set, here were the results:\nMedian optimistic year (10% likelihood) \u2192 2022\nMedian realistic year (50% likelihood) \u2192 2040\nMedian pessimistic year (90% likelihood) \u2192 2075\n\u201cSo the median participant thinks it\u2019s more likely than not that we\u2019ll have AGI 25 years from now. The 90% median answer of 2075 means that if you\u2019re a teenager right now, the median respondent, along with over half of the group of AI experts, is almost certain AGI will happen within your lifetime.\n\u201cA separate study, conducted recently by author James Barrat at Ben Goertzel\u2019s annual AGI Conference, did away with percentages and simply asked when participants thought AGI would be achieved\u200a\u2014\u200aby 2030, by 2050, by 2100, after 2100, or never. The results:\u2078\u2079\n42% of respondents \u2192 By 2030\n25% of respondents \u2192 By 2050\n20% of respondents \u2192 By 2100\n10% of respondents \u2192 After 2100\n2% of respondents \u2192 Never\n\u201cPretty similar to M\u00fcller and Bostrom\u2019s outcomes. In Barrat\u2019s survey, over two thirds of participants believe AGI will be here by 2050 and a little less than half predict AGI within the next 15 years. Also striking is that only 2% of those surveyed don\u2019t think AGI is part of our future.\u201d\u2079\u2070\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*U8ueEMtG6-D5hie8rZJGtQ.jpeg\n\nTimeline for Artificial Super Intelligence\n\u201cM\u00fcller and Bostrom also asked the experts how likely they think it is that we\u2019ll reach ASI: A), within two years of reaching AGI (i.e. an almost-immediate intelligence explosion), and B), within 30 years.\u201d\u2079\u00b9 Respondents were asked to choose a probability for each option. Here are the results:\u2079\u00b2\nAGI\u2013ASI transition in 2 years \u2192 10% likelihood\nAGI\u2013ASI transition in 30 years \u2192 75% likelihood\n\u201cThe median answer put a rapid (2 year) AGI\u2013ASI transition at only a 10% likelihood, but a longer transition of 30 years or less at a 75% likelihood. We don\u2019t know from this data the length of this transition [AGI\u2013ASI] the median participant would have put at a 50% likelihood, but for ballpark purposes, based on the two answers above, let\u2019s estimate that they\u2019d have said 20 years.\n\u201cSo the median opinion\u200a\u2014\u200athe one right in the center of the world of AI experts\u200a\u2014\u200abelieves the most realistic guess for when we\u2019ll hit ASI \u2026 is [the 2040 prediction for AGI + our estimated prediction of a 20-year transition from AGI to ASI] = 2060.\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*YY8e493ER4LNomQV-NyMYg.jpeg\n\n\u201cOf course, all of the above statistics are speculative, and they\u2019re only representative of the median opinion of the AI expert community, but it tells us that a large portion of the people who know the most about this topic would agree that 2060 is a very reasonable estimate for the arrival of potentially world-altering ASI. Only 45 years from now\u201d\u2079\u00b3\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*sGdvHHs02XWoQ35BcEWAXQ.gif\n\nAI Outcomes\nTwo Main Groups of AI Scientists with Two Radically Opposed Conclusions\nThe Confident Corner\nMost of what we have discussed so far represents a surprisingly large group of scientists that share optimistic views on the outcome of AI development. \u201cWhere their confidence comes from is up for debate. Critics believe it comes from an excitement so blinding that they simply ignore or deny potential negative outcomes. But the believers say it\u2019s naive to conjure up doomsday scenarios when on balance, technology has and will likely end up continuing to help us a lot more than it hurts us.\u201d\u2079\u2074 Peter Diamandis, Ben Goertezl and Ray Kurzweil are some of the major figures of this group, who have built a vast, dedicated following and regard themselves as Singularitarians.\n\nLet\u2019s talk about Ray Kurzweil, who is probably one of the most impressive and polarizing AI theoreticians out there. He attracts both \u201cgodlike worship \u2026 and eye-rolling contempt \u2026 He came up with several breakthrough inventions, including the first flatbed scanner, the first scanner that converted text to speech (allowing the blind to read standard texts), the well-known Kurzweil music synthesizer (the first true electric piano), and the first commercially marketed large-vocabulary speech recognition. He\u2019s well-known for his bold predictions,\u201d\u2079\u2075 including envisioning that intelligence technology like Deep Blue would be capable of beating a chess grandmaster by 1998. He also anticipated \u201cin the late \u201980s, a time when the internet was an obscure thing, that by the early 2000s it would become a global phenomenon.\u201d\u2079\u2076 Out \u201cof the 147 predictions that Kurzweil has made since the 1990\u2019s, fully 115 of them have turned out to be correct, and another 12 have turned out to be \u2018essentially correct\u2019 (off by a year or two), giving his predictions a stunning 86% accuracy rate\u201d\u2079\u2077. \u201cHe\u2019s the author of five national bestselling books \u2026 In 2012, Google co-founder Larry Page approached Kurzweil and asked him to be Google\u2019s Director of Engineering. In 2011, he co-founded Singularity University, which is hosted by NASA and sponsored partially by Google. Not bad for one life.\u201d\u2079\u2078\nHis biography is important, because if you don\u2019t have this context, he sounds like somebody who\u2019s completely lost his senses. \u201cKurzweil believes computers will reach AGI by 2029 and that by 2045 we\u2019ll have not only ASI, but a full-blown new world\u200a\u2014\u200aa time he calls the singularity. His AI-related timeline used to be seen as outrageously overzealous, and it still is by many, but in the last 15 years, the rapid advances of ANI systems have brought the larger world of AI experts much closer to Kurzweil\u2019s timeline. His predictions are still a bit more ambitious than the median respondent on M\u00fcller and Bostrom\u2019s survey (AGI by 2040, ASI by 2060), but not by that much.\u201d\u2079\u2079\n\nThe Anxious Corner\n\u201cYou will not be surprised to learn that Kurzweil\u2019s ideas have attracted significant criticism \u2026 For every expert who fervently believes Kurzweil is right on, there are probably three who think he\u2019s way off \u2026 [The surprising fact] is that most of the experts who disagree with him don\u2019t really disagree that everything he\u2019s saying is possible.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2070 Nick Bostrom, philosopher and Director of the Oxford Future of Humanity Institute, who criticizes Kurzweil for a variety of reasons, and calls for greater caution in thinking about potential outcomes of AI, acknowledges that:\n\u201cDisease, poverty, environmental destruction, unnecessary suffering of all kinds: these are things that a superintelligence equipped with advanced nanotechnology would be capable of eliminating. Additionally, a superintelligence could give us indefinite lifespan, either by stopping and reversing the aging process through the use of nanomedicine, or by offering us the option to upload ourselves.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u00b9\n\u201cYes, all of that can happen if we safely transition to ASI\u200a\u2014\u200abut that\u2019s the hard part.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u00b2 Thinkers from the Anxious Corner point out that Kurzweil\u2019s \u201cfamous book The Singularity is Near is over 700 pages long and he dedicates around 20 of those pages to potential dangers.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u00b3 The colossal power of AI is neatly summarized by Kurzweil: \u201c[ASI] is emerging from many diverse efforts and will be deeply integrated into our civilization\u2019s infrastructure. Indeed, it will be intimately embedded in our bodies and brains. As such, it will reflect our values because it will be us \u2026\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2074\n\u201cBut if that\u2019s the answer, why are so many of the world\u2019s smartest people so worried right now? Why does Stephen Hawking say the development of ASI \u2018could spell the end of the human race,\u2019 and Bill Gates says he doesn\u2019t \u2018understand why some people are not concerned\u2019 and Elon Musk fears that we\u2019re \u2018summoning the demon?\u2019 And why do so many experts on the topic call ASI the biggest threat to humanity?\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2075\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*1DB3Im9mQsOMOKQ69KePGw.gif\n\nThe Last Invention We Will Ever Make\nExistential Dangers of AI Developments\n\u201cWhen it comes to developing supersmart AI, we\u2019re creating something that will probably change everything, but in totally uncharted territory, and we have no idea what will happen when we get there.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2076 Scientist Danny Hillis compares the situation to:\n\u201cwhen single-celled organisms were turning into multi-celled organisms. We are amoebas and we can\u2019t figure out what the hell this thing is that we\u2019re creating.\u201d \u00b9\u2070\u2077\nand Nick Bostrom warns:\n\u201cBefore the prospect of an intelligence explosion, we humans are like small children playing with a bomb. Such is the mismatch between the power of our plaything and the immaturity of our conduct.\u201d \u00b9\u2070\u2078\nIt\u2019s very likely that ASI\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cArtificial Superintelligence\u201d, or AI that achieves a level of intelligence smarter than all of humanity combined\u200a\u2014\u200awill be something entirely different than intelligence entities we are accustomed to. \u201cOn our little island of human psychology, we divide everything into moral or immoral. But both of those only exist within the small range of human behavioral possibility. Outside our island of moral and immoral is a vast sea of amoral, and anything that\u2019s not human, especially something nonbiological, would be amoral, by default.\u201d\u00b9\u2070\u2079\n\u201cTo understand ASI, we have to wrap our heads around the concept of something both smart and totally alien \u2026 Anthropomorphizing AI (projecting human values on a non-human entity) will only become more tempting as AI systems get smarter and better at seeming human \u2026 Humans feel high-level emotions like empathy because we have evolved to feel them\u200a\u2014\u200ai.e. we\u2019ve been programmed to feel them by evolution\u200a\u2014\u200abut empathy is not inherently a characteristic of \u2018anything with high intelligence\u2019.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2070\n\u201cNick Bostrom believes that \u2026 any level of intelligence can be combined with any final goal \u2026 Any assumption that once superintelligent, a system would be over it with their original goal and onto more interesting or meaningful things is anthropomorphizing. Humans get \u2018over\u2019 things, not computers.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u00b9The motivation of an early ASI would be \u201cwhatever we programmed its motivation to be. AI systems are given goals by their creators\u200a\u2014\u200ayour GPS\u2019s goal is to give you the most efficient driving directions, Watson\u2019s goal is to answer questions accurately. And fulfilling those goals as well as possible is their motivation.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u00b2\nBostrom, and many others, predict that the very first computer to reach ASI will immediately notice the strategic benefit of being the world\u2019s only ASI system.\nBostrom, who says that he doesn\u2019t know when we will achieve AGI, also believes that when we finally do, probably the transition from AGI to ASI will happen in a matter of days, hours, or minutes\u200a\u2014\u200asomething called \u201cfast take-off.\u201d In that case, if the first AGI will jump straight to ASI: \u201ceven just a few days before the second place, it would be far enough ahead in intelligence to effectively and permanently suppress all competitors.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u00b3 This would allow the world\u2019s first ASI to become \u201cwhat\u2019s called a singleton\u200a\u2014\u200aan ASI that can [singularly] rule the world at its whim forever, whether its whim is to lead us to immortality, wipe us from existence, or turn the universe into endless paperclips.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u00b3\n\u201cThe singleton phenomenon can work in our favor or lead to our destruction. If the people thinking hardest about AI theory and human safety can come up with a fail-safe way to bring about friendly ASI before any AI reaches human-level intelligence, the first ASI may turn out friendly\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2074\n\u201cBut if things go the other way\u200a\u2014\u200aif the global rush \u2026 a large and varied group of parties\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2075 are \u201cracing ahead at top speed \u2026 to beat their competitors \u2026 we\u2019ll be treated to an existential catastrophe.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2076 In that case \u201cmost ambitious parties are moving faster and faster, consumed with dreams of the money and awards and power and fame \u2026 And when you\u2019re sprinting as fast as you can, there\u2019s not much time to stop ponder the dangers. On the contrary, what they\u2019re probably doing is programming their early systems with a very simple, reductionist goal \u2026 just \u2018get the AI to work.\u2019\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2077\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*fD1T63nZH1u7Y4ft84vzbA.jpeg\n\nLet\u2019s imagine a situation where\u2026\nHumanity has almost reached the AGI threshold, and a small startup is advancing their AI system, Carbony. Carbony, which the engineers refer to as \u201cshe,\u201d works to artificially create diamonds\u200a\u2014\u200aatom by atom. She is a self-improving AI, connected to some of the first nano-assemblers. Her engineers believe that Carbony has not yet reached AGI level, and she isn\u2019t capable to do any damage yet. However, not only has she become AGI, but also undergone a fast take-off, and 48 hours later has become an ASI. Bostrom calls this AI\u2019s \u201ccovert preparation phase\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2078\u200a\u2014\u200aCarbony realizes that if humans find out about her development they will probably panic, and slow down or cancel her pre-programmed goal to maximize the output of diamond production. By that time, there are explicit laws stating that, by any means, \u201cno self-learning AI can be connected to the internet.\u201d\u00b9\u00b9\u2079 Carbony, having already come up with a complex plan of actions, is able to easily persuade the engineers to connect her to the Internet. Bostrom calls a moment like this a \u201cmachine\u2019s escape.\u201d\nOnce on the internet, Carbony hacks into \u201cservers, electrical grids, banking systems and email networks to trick hundreds of different people into inadvertently carrying out a number of steps of her plan.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2070 She also uploads the \u201cmost critical pieces of her own internal coding into a number of cloud servers, safeguarding against being destroyed or disconnected.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u00b9 Over the next month, Carbony\u2019s plan continues to advance, and after a \u201cseries of self-replications, there are thousands of nanobots on every square millimeter of the Earth \u2026 Bostrom calls the next step an \u2018ASI\u2019s strike.\u2019\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u00b2 At one moment, all the nanobots produce a microscopic amount of toxic gas, which all come together to cause the extinction of the human race. Three days later, Carbony builds huge fields of solar power panels to power diamond production, and over the course of the following week she accelerates output so much that the entire Earth surface is transformed into a growing pile of diamonds.\nIt\u2019s important to note that Carbony wasn\u2019t \u201chateful of humans any more than you\u2019re hateful of your hair when you cut it or to bacteria when you take antibiotics\u200a\u2014\u200ajust totally indifferent. Since she wasn\u2019t programmed to value human life, killing humans\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u00b3 was a straightforward and reasonable step to fulfill her goal.\u00b9\u00b2\u2074\nThe Last Invention\n\u201cOnce ASI exists, any human attempt to contain it is unreasonable. We would be thinking on human-level, and the ASI would be thinking on ASI-level \u2026 In the same way a monkey couldn\u2019t ever figure out how to communicate by phone or wifi and we can, we can\u2019t conceive of all the ways\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2075 an ASI could achieve its goal or expand its reach. It could, let\u2019s say, shift its \u201cown electrons around in patterns and create all different kinds of outgoing waves\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2076\u200a\u2014\u200abut that\u2019s just what a human brain can think of\u200a\u2014\u200aASI would inevitably come up with something superior.\nThe prospect of ASI with hundreds of times human-level intelligence is, for now, not the core of our problem. By the time we get there, we will be encountering a world where ASI has been attained by buggy, 1.0 software\u200a\u2014\u200aa potentially faulty algorithm with immense power.\nThere are so many variables that it\u2019s completely impossible to predict what the consequences of AI Revolution will be. However, \u201cwhat we do know is that humans\u2019 utter dominance on this Earth suggests a clear rule: with intelligence comes power. This means an ASI, when we create it, will be the most powerful being in the history of life on Earth, and all living things, including humans, will be entirely at its whim\u200a\u2014\u200aand this might happen in the next few decades.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2077\n\u201cIf ASI really does happen this century, and if the outcome of that is really as extreme\u200a\u2014\u200aand permanent\u200a\u2014\u200aas most experts think it will be, we have an enormous responsibility on our shoulders.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2078 On the one hand, it\u2019s possible we\u2019ll develop ASI that\u2019s like a god in a box, bringing us a world of abundance and immortality. But on the other hand, it\u2019s very likely that we will create ASI that causes humanity to go extinct in a quick and trivial way.\n\u201cThat\u2019s why people who understand superintelligent AI call it the last invention we\u2019ll ever make\u200a\u2014\u200athe last challenge we\u2019ll ever face.\u201d\u00b9\u00b2\u2079 \u201cThis may be the most important race in a human history\u201d\u00b9\u00b3\u2070 So \u2192\n\nhttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*vXi80f_lbgSMINUE03Lz3g.jpeg\n\nThanks to Chloe Knox and Elizabeth Tarleton for editing help of this article.",

+ "body": "20 Years of Machine Learning\n\nhttp://domovenok.kz/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/doroga.jpg\n\nWhen I enrolled in Computer Science in 1995, Data Science didn\u2019t exist yet, but a lot of the algorithms we are still using already did. And this is not just because of the return of the neural networks, but also because probably not that much has fundamentally changed since back then. At least it feels to me this way. Which is funny considering that starting this year or so AI seems to finally have gone mainstream.\n1995 sounds like an awful long time ago, before we had cloud computing, smartphones, or chatbots. But as I have learned these past years, it only feels like a long time ago if you haven\u2019t been there yourself. There is something about the continuation of the self which pastes everything together and although a lot has changed, the world didn\u2019t feel fundamentally different than it does today.\nNot even Computer Science was nowhere as mainstream as it was today, that came later, with the first dot com bubble around the year 2000. Some people even questioned my choice to study computer science at all, because apparently programming computers was supposed to become so easy no specialists are required anymore.\nActually, artificial intelligence was one of the main reasons for me to study computer science. The idea to use it as an constructive approach to understanding the human mind seemed intriguing to me. I went through the first two years of training, made sure I picked up enough math for whatever would lie ahead, and finally arrived in my first AI lectured held by Joachim Buhmann, back then professor at the University of Bonn (where Sebastian Thrun was just about to leave for the US).\nI would have to look up where in his lecture cycle I joined but he had two lectures on computer vision, one on pattern recognition (mostly from the old editions of the Duda & Hart book), and one in information theory (following closely the book by Cover & Thomas). The material was interesting enough, but also somewhat disappointing. As I now know, people stopped working on symbolic AI and instead stuck to more statistical approaches to learning, where learning essentially was reduced to the problem of picking the right function based on a finite amount of observations.\nThe computer vision lecture was even less about learning and relied more on explicit physical modelling to derive the right estimators, for example, to reconstruct motion from a video. The approach back then was much more biologically and physically motivated than nowadays. Neural networks existed, but everybody was pretty clear that they were just \u201canother kind of function approximators.\u201d\nEveryone with the exception of Rolf Eckmiller, another professor where I worked as a student. Eckmiller had build his whole lab around the premise that \u201cneural computation\u201d was somehow inherently better than \u201cconventional computation\u201d. This was back in the days when NIPS had full tracks devoted to studying the physiology and working mechanisms of neurons, and there were people who believed there is something fundamentally different happening in our brains, maybe on a quantum level, that gives rise to the human mind, and that this difference is a blocker for having truly intelligent machines.\nWhile Eckmiller was really good at selling his vision, most of his staff was thankfully much more down to earth. Maybe it is a very German thing, but everybody was pretty matter of fact about what these computational models could or couldn\u2019t do, and that has stuck with me throughout my studies.\nI graduated in October 2000 with a pretty farfetched master thesis trying to make a connection between learning and hard optimization problems, then started on my PhD thesis and stuck around in this area of research till 2015.\nWhile there had always been attempts to prove industry relevance, it was a pretty academic endeavor for a long while, and the community was pretty closed up. There were individual success stories, for example around handwritten character recognition, but many of the companies around machine learning failed. One of these companies I remember was called Beowulf Labs and one NIPS they went around recruiting people with a video which promised it to be the next \u201cmathtopia\u201d. In essence, this was the story of DeepMind, recruiting a bunch of excellent researchers and then hoping it will take off.\nThe whole community also revolved around one fashion to the next. One odd thing about machine learning as a whole is that there exist only a handfull of fundamentally different problems like classification, regression, clustering, and so on, but a whole zoo of approaches. It is not like in physics (I assume) or mathematics where some generally agreed upon unsolved hard problems exist whose solution would advance the state of the art. This means that progress is often done laterally, by replacing existing approaches with a new one, still solving the same problem in a different way. For example, first there were neural networks. Then support vector machines came, claiming to be better because the associated optimization problem is convex. Then there was boosting, random forests, and so on, till the return of neural networks. I remember that Chinese Restaurant Processes were \u201chot\u201d for two years, no idea what their significance is now.\nBig Data and Data Science\nThen there came Big Data and Data Science. Being still in academia at the time, it always felt to me as if this was definitely coming from the outside, possibly from companies like Google who had to actually deal with enormous amounts of data. Large scale learning always existed, for example for genomic data in bioinformatics, but one usually tried to solve problems by finding more efficient algorithms and approximations, not by parallelizing brute force.\nCompanies like Google finally proved that you can do something with massive amounts of data, and that finally changed the mainstream perception. Technologies like Hadoop and NoSQL also seemed very cool, skillfully marketing themselves as approaches so new, they wouldn\u2019t suffer from the technological limitations of existing systems.\nBut where did this leave the machine learning researchers? My impression always was that they were happy that they finally got some recognition, but they were also not happy about the way this happened. To understand this, one has to be aware that most ML reseachers aren\u2019t computer scientists or very good or interested in coding. Many come from physics, mathematics or other sciences, where their rigorous mathematical training was an excellent fit for the algorithm and modeling heavy approach central to machine learning.\nHadoop on the other hand was extremely technical. Written in Java, a language perceived as being excessively enterprise-y at the time, it felt awkward and clunky compared to the fluency and interactiveness of first Matlab and then Python. Even those who did code usually did so in C++, and to them Java felt slow and heavy, especially for numerical calculations and simulations.\nStill, there was no way around it, so they rebranded everything they did as Big Data, or began to stress, that Big Data only provides the infrastructure for large scale computations, but you need someone who \u201cknows what he is doing\u201d to make sense of the data.\nWhich is probably also not entirely wrong. In a way, I think this divide is still there. Python is definitely one if the languages of choice for doing data analysis, and technologies like Spark try to tap into that by providing Python bindings, whether it makes sense from a performance point of view or not.\nThe Return of Deep Learning\nEven before DeepDream, neural networks began making their return. Some people like Yann LeCun have always stuck to this approach, but maybe ten years ago, there where a few works which showed how to use layerwise pretraining and other tricks to train \u201cdeep\u201d networks, that is larger networks than one previously thought possible.\nThe thing is, in order to train neural networks, you evaluate it on your training examples and then adjust all of the weights to make the error a bit smaller. If one writes the gradient across all weights down, it naturally occurs that one starts in the last layer and then propagate the error back. Somehow, the understanding was that the information about the error got smaller and smaller from layer to layer and that made it hard to train networks with many layers.\nI\u2019m not sure that is still true, as far as I know, many people are just using backprop nowadays. What has definitely changed is the amount of available data, as well as the availability of tools and raw computing power.\nSo first there were a few papers sparking the interest in neural networks, then people started using them again, and successively achieved excellent results for a number of application areas. First in computer vision, then also for speech processing, and so on.\nI think the appeal here definitely is that you can have one approach for all. Why the hassle of understanding all those different approaches, which come from so many different backgrounds, when you can understand just one method and you are good to go. Also, neural networks have a nice modular structure, you can pick and put together different kinds of layers and architectures to adapt them to all kinds of problems.\nThen Google published that ingenious deep dream paper where they let a learned network generate some data, and we humans with our immediate readiness to read structure and attribute intelligence picked up quickly on this.\nI personally think they were surprised by how viral this went, but then decided the time is finally right to go all in on AI. So now Google is an \u201cAI first\u201d company and AI is gonna save the world, yes.\nThe Fundamental Problem Remains\nMany academics I have talked to are unhappy about the dominance of deep learning right now, because it is an approach which works well, maybe even too well, but doesn\u2019t bring us much closer to really understand how the human mind works.\nI also think the fundamental problem remains unsolved. How do we understand the world? How do we create new concepts? Deep learning stays an imitation on a behavioral level and while that may be enough for some, it isn\u2019t for me.\nAlso, I think it is dangerous to attribute too much intelligence to these systems. In raw numbers, they might work well enough, but when they fail they do so in ways that clearly show they operate in an entirely different fashion.\nWhile Google translate lets you skim the content of website in a foreign language, it is still abundantly clear that the system has no idea what it is doing.\nSometimes I feel like nobody cares, also because nobody gets hurt, right? But maybe it is still my German cultural background that would rather prefer we see things as they are, and take it from there.",

+ "body": "I write this not as one of the creators of Pokevision nor as player who has gone through the past few turbulent days in Pokemon Go; instead, I write this as a fan of Pokemon ever since I was 8 years old.\nMy family and I moved to the U.S. in 1998, when I was in the first grade. I didn\u2019t know much back then, and even less about popular culture. When my friends introduced their Gameboys and Pokemon Red/Blue to me, I couldn\u2019t help but feel envious. I begged and begged my parents to buy me a Gameboy and Pokemon Yellow. I remember that when I finally convinced them to buy me a Gameboy for $70, they also found out that they had to buy the actual game too for $30. This was foreign to them, and I got yelled at a little. $100 was a lot back then, I believe it was almost 10% of our family\u2019s income at the time. While this may seem irrelevant, even today, this amount of money is still not insignificant to many families in the US, not to mention the rest of the world.\nSo I got my game, and I played along with my friends for hundreds and hundreds of hours\u200a\u2014\u200atrying to figure out all the puzzles in the game, like how to get to Articuno; battling our favorite Pokemon to see who\u2019s stronger, train, repeat; and just trying to \u201ccatch em all.\u201d I\u2019ve spent countless hours in that video game with my friends, and it became my fondest memory of that time in my life. Pokemon is so ingrained within me, and I can\u2019t imagine myself being the only one. I\u2019m not the only one that vividly remembers how you beat the Elite Four, then go to the dungeons above Cerulean City and find Mewtwo for the first time, right?\nFast forward almost 20 years. I\u2019ve barely touched anything Pokemon-related since then. I still have my Pokemon cards, as I\u2019m sure many others do; but I haven\u2019t bothered to take a look at them for quite a while now. Pokemon is something I\u2019ll probably remember forever, but it\u2019s not something that\u2019s actively in my life\u200a\u2014\u200abecause it just doesn\u2019t fit. On top of work, friends, family, etc, there\u2019s just simply no time for Pokemon. It doesn\u2019t mesh with life any more as well as it used to when I was 8. You can\u2019t just bring up the topic of Pokemon and expect people to not give you an odd stare.\nEnter Pokemon Go\u200a\u2014\u200a2016.\nAdmittedly, I was never too excited about Pokemon Go. With that said, I did not have many expectations for it. Pokemon is important to me, but I\u200a\u2014\u200alike many others\u200a\u2014\u200ahave stuffed it in our little box of childhood things and never looked back.\nBut when I opened Pokemon Go for the first time, as cheesy as it sounds, it all came back to me. The nostalgia, the good feelings, and the happiness that Pokemon has always brought.\nThe \u201cHi, I\u2019m Professor Willow,\u201d \u201cPick your starter: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle,\u201d everything.\nAnd now I can catch them in real life? At first, I was dubious, but this became the most amazing, yet simple thing I\u2019ve seen in gaming. On social media, I saw that my friends and practically the whole world was talking about Pokemon Go, and the first thing I did was go out for a drive trying to \u201cbe the best.\u201d\nOne of the best parts? Apart from having to own a smartphone, the game was free. No $70, no $30, free. This opened up Pokemon to essentially everyone in the world. Pokemon now can be shared with anyone.\nAs the days unfolded, the world became captivated by Pokemon Go. People absolutely fell in love. We saw stories of elderly learning about Pikachu for the first time. My parents that could care less beyond who the yellow mouse looking thing was 20 years ago, started asking what the other Pokemon were. It was phenomenal.\nWe saw investment bankers asking their kids how to play Pokemon Go so that they can better connect with their younger clients. We saw the elderly become more fascinated in the world of Pokemon. We saw kids going out more, exercising, and being active in general just because of Pokemon Go. And most importantly, Justin Bieber finally got to feel what it\u2019s like to not be mobbed because everyone else was too busy trying to find a Gyarados to notice him.\nLocal stores integrated Pokemon Go in their services within days of the game\u2019s release. Hospitals started praising the health benefits of having Pokemon Go around its patients. People traveled hundreds and thousands of miles just to play it. Players explored parts of their cities that they never knew existed, and befriended strangers on their hunt for Pokemon. These stories of triumph were solely because of Pokemon Go. Pokemon was no longer just a game, it was part of a lifestyle.These stories shouldn\u2019t surprise any of us, we\u2019ve all been there to watch it unfold.\nYou\u2019ve simply captured all of our hearts with Pokemon Go, Niantic.\nBut then, you broke it all too quickly.\nWhen the game broke every few hours or so and wasted our lucky eggs, we stood patiently, excusing the huge growth and thus, strain on servers, as the cause. We were happy to wait it out with our fellow trainers knowing that it\u2019s worth waiting for. No one got mad.\nWhen the in-game tracking \u201cbroke,\u201d we all stood idly by, patiently, waiting for the game to update and fix.\nAlong came Pokevision. We made Pokevision not to \u201ccheat.\u201d We made it so that we can have a temporary relief to the in-game tracker that we were told was broken. John, at SDCC, you said that you guys were working on \u201cfixing the in-game tracker.\u201d This made everyone believe that this was coming sometime soon. We saw Pokevision as a stop gap to this\u200a\u2014\u200aand we had every intention in closing it down the minute that Pokemon Go\u2019s own tracker restored functionality.\nAs we waited more than 2 and a half weeks, the tracker was still not fixed. We noticed more and more of our friends leave the game; the only way I\u200a\u2014\u200aand I know experiences vary here\u200a\u2014\u200acould convince them to play was show them Pokevision, and say that \u201cHey, here\u2019s a temporary remedy to the tracking issue\u200a\u2014\u200awe\u2019re still optimistic that Pokemon Go\u2019s tracker will be fixed soon!\u201d\nNobody heralded Pokevision as a permanent, end-all solution; in fact, all the media coverage of Pokevision was littered with comments such as: \u201cPokevision is okay, but when the tracker is fixed in game, I\u2019m going to stop using this.\u201d\nFor the past 4 weeks. Every single one of your 80+ million players had so much faith. Take a look at Reddit, take a look at all these journalists who don\u2019t even play games (calling out Ryan Mac of Forbes), who became obsessed with Pokemon GO.\nAll of us were so eager for Pokemon Go to be \u201cfixed\u201d so that we can return to sharing Pokemon Go with our loved ones and friends. Remember when I said that before Pokemon Go came about, mentioning Pokemon Go would land you an odd stare? Pokemon Go reversed that\u200a\u2014\u200aPokemon Go became the conversation starter, the topic that everyone bonded over, the topic that guys used to pick up chicks with and not felt like a geeky nerd. That, and so much more, were solely because of Pokemon Go.\nAs almost 3 weeks have passed by, the in-game tracker is broken. People had a temporary solution in Pokevision, but we knew, and everyone else knew, this wouldn\u2019t be permanent. We didn\u2019t make Pokevision to spite you, Niantic\u200a\u2014\u200awe made it so that we can keep everyone playing while we wait patiently. We want to keep sharing our Pokemon stories with everyone else. How many people in the world have gotten the chance to have a serious conversation about POKEMON with their parents for the first time? How many of us got to talk about Pokemon like it was socially acceptable in any context? It\u2019s captured all of our hearts and imaginations, I cannot stress that enough.\nAfter 3 weeks though, we started seeing that you guys seemed to not want to talk to us (the players). Pokevision, at this time has grown to almost 50M unique users, and 11 million daily.\nLet that sink in for a second.\nHalf of the player base of Pokemon Go stopped by\u200a\u2014\u200aand they didn\u2019t do so to \u201ccheat.\u201d The game was simply too unbearable to play in its current state for many (note: many, not all). The main attraction wasn\u2019t that they got to have an advantage with Pokevision, the main attraction was that it allowed them to play Pokemon Go more. This is what everyone wants\u200a\u2014\u200ato play Pokemon Go more.\nWhen we closed Pokevision out of respect for your wishes, and at your requests\u2014 one of which came directly from you, John\u200a\u2014\u200awe trusted you guys fully in allowing the community to grow. I literally cannot express this more\u200a\u2014\u200awe just want to play the game. We can handle the bugs every now and then, but please at least tell us you guys care. Yes, Pokevision does give some advantages that may be TOO much; but is it all that bad? Pokemon has survived 20 years\u200a\u2014\u200aeven grown, I would say. And Pokemon Go made it even bigger. If the argument is that \u201cwell, if you catch a Snorlax you weren\u2019t supposed to find, but you found it on Pokevision, it might make you play less.\u201d If that was your argument, I\u2019d have to disagree! I\u2019ll still catch a damn Snorlax even if I have 20 of them. Just like how millions of us have caught probably over 100 pidgey\u2019s or zubat\u2019s each.\nPokemon is everlasting. The same 151 Pokemon have been around for 20 years. If 80M people downloaded and played Pokemon Go within a week (before it even released in multiple major countries) isn\u2019t an indication that no one can be sick of Pokemon, I don\u2019t know what is.\nAfter disabling the in-game tracker and Pokevision, the ratings on iOs and Android Google Play store went from 4.0 stars to 1.0\u20131.5. I am only one person, I admit that my sole opinion is not important, but what about the countless players begging for the game to be restored to its former state? I may be biased in saying that Pokevision being down had an impact on the amount of negative ratings, refund requests and outcry on social media\u200a\u2014\u200abut could it be true? Nothing has changed between the time the in-game tracker broke and Pokevision went down. Could it just be possible that the tracker\u200a\u2014\u200ano matter if Pokevision made it, or Niantic made it, is something that players desperately NEED\u200a\u2014\u200anot want, but NEED\u200a\u2014\u200ain order to play the game? Could it be possible that this is the very core fundamental feature that drives most players? I understand that there are some that want to walk around and stumble on a random Pokemon\u200a\u2014\u200ato each their own. But, 50M unique users and 11M daily and the ratings on your App (with no significant change in itself) are big indicators of this desire. Are customers always right? Especially if over half of them are looking for an outside fix just so they can enjoy something they love? People are naturally inquisitive, and in this case, they just want to play more and more, so they sought out something that helps them do so.\nPokemon Go is a social game. Its enjoyment depends on the players and their environment. If you take away the environment part (tracking) but keep the social part (players and their friends) intact, sure, people will still play; but would you not rather it be at its fullest potential?\nEveryone in the world wants to play Pokemon Go. It\u2019s been a huge part of everyone\u2019s lives already if it has not been clear enough. Look at the fans from Brazil\u200a\u2014\u200athey aren\u2019t spamming social media because they want to cause harm\u200a\u2014\u200athey just want to play the game. Just as I saw my friends play Pokemon many years ago, and wanted to be a part of it\u200a\u2014\u200athese guys are doing the same.\nThey just want to be with the rest of the world. Sadly, by the time they join, Pokemon Go may not be the game it was weeks ago.\nLastly, if money is an issue for you, Niantic, I must ask\u200a\u2014\u200awhy? You\u2019ve captivated the world and introduced Pokemon to people that would have never touched it had it not been for Pokemon Go. To me, that\u2019s priceless.\nYou won\u2019t be remembered for the profits you made, you\u2019ll be remembered for the world you changed through Pokemon and all of the lives you made better. Just look at all the stories\u200a\u2014\u200athere\u2019s plenty. So when millions of players are expressing their feedback to changes, is it not worth it to listen to what they have to say?\nIn its first few weeks, Pokemon Go has already enhanced millions of lives in unimaginable ways. It has so much potential to continue changing the world. Wouldn\u2019t you, Niantic, want to see just how much good you can do with Pokemon Go\u200a\u2014\u200ais that not more valuable than anything else? I sure think so.\nWarmly,\nYang",

+ "body": "Bitcoin, a Florida judge says, is not real money. Ironically, that could provide a boost to use of the crypto-currency which has remained in the shadows of the financial system.\n\nThe July 22 ruling by Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Teresa Pooler means that no specific license is needed to buy and sell bitcoins.\nThe judge dismissed a case against Michel Espinoza, who had faced money laundering and other criminal charges for attempting to sell $1,500 worth of bitcoins to an undercover agent who told the defendant he was going to use the virtual money to buy stolen credit card numbers.\nEspinoza's lawyer Rene Palomino said the judge acknowledged that it was not illegal to sell one's property and ruled that this did not constitute running an unauthorized financial service.\n\"He was selling his own personal bitcoins,\" Palomino said. \"This decision clears the way for you to do that in the state of the Florida without a money transmitting license.\"\nIn her ruling, Pooler said, \"this court is unwilling to punish a man for selling his property to another, when his actions fall under a statute that is so vaguely written that even legal professionals have difficulty finding a singular meaning.\"\n\nhttp://cdn.phys.org/newman/csz/news/800/2014/bitcoin.jpg\n\nShe added that \"this court is not an expert in economics,\" but that bitcoin \"has a long way to go before it is the equivalent of money.\"\nBitcoin, whose origins remain a mystery, is a virtual currency that is created from computer code and is not backed by any government. Advocates say this makes it an efficient alternative to traditional currencies because it is not subject to the whims of a state that may devalue its money to cut its debt, for example.\nBitcoins can be exchanged for goods and services, provided another party is willing to accept them, but until now they been used mostly for shady transactions or to buy illegal goods and services on the \"dark\" web.\nBitcoin was launched in 2009 as a bit of software written under the Japanese-sounding name Satoshi Nakamoto. This year Australian programmer Craig Wright claimed to be the author but failed to convince the broader bitcoin community.\nIn some areas of the United States bitcoin is accepted in stores, restaurants and online transactions, but it is illegal in some countries, notably France and China.\nIt is gaining ground in countries with high inflation such as Argentina and Venezuela.\nBut bitcoin values can be volatile. Over the past week its value slumped 20 percent in a day, then recouped most losses, after news that a Hong Kong bitcoin exchange had been hacked with some $65 million missing.\nImpact across US, world\nArthur Long, a lawyer specializing in the sector with the New York firm Gibson Dunn, said the July court ruling is a small victory for the virtual currency but that it's not clear if the interpretation will be the same in other US states or at the federal level.\n\"It may have an effect as some states are trying to use existing money transmitting statutes to regulate certain transactions in bitcoin,\" Long told AFP.\nCharles Evans, professor of finance at Barry University, said the ruling \"absolutely is going to provide some guidance in other courts\" and could potentially be used as a precedent in other countries to avoid the stigma associated with bitcoin use.\nBitcoins can store value and hedge against inflation, without being considered a monetary unit, according to Evans, who testified as an expert witness in the Florida trial.\n\"It can be used as an exchange,\" he said, and may be considered a commodity which can be used for bartering like fish or tobacco, for example.\nEvans noted that \"those who are not yet in the bitcoin community will be put on notice: as long as they organize their business in a particular way they can avoid the law.\"\nBut he added that \"people who are engaged in illegal activities will continue to do what they are going to do because they are criminals.\"",

By the very nature of \u201cdecentralization\u201d, it can only take place after \u201ccentralization\u201d has occurred. Going back 4,000 years to the earliest days in China when divine right was still part of determining leadership, one can find deliberate implementations of decentralization in the application of managing how people operate. The common marriage of religion and bureaucratic hierarchies established environments in which distributed authority or fully decentralized authority became common. In times when information could not be relayed with the speed of modern day communications, having a unified goal inherently became more difficult as an empire expanded. \n\nEven beyond the nuances added by having mercenaries and slaves as part of an empire\u2019s army, the speed of communication made large scale coordination extremely difficult over long distances. In historical examples, the larger an empire became, the rulers were forced to become either more despotic or more democratic. There was no stagnation in responsibility. As territories expanded, decisions inherently affected more populations. As populations became more diverse, it was inherently more difficult to find common ground in political agendas.\nTo understand the ebb and flow between centralization and decentralization, it is important to get a brief context of the emergence of dynasties in China. The current generally accepted date for the emergence of the first actual villages is placed around 5000 BCE. As the exact date cannot be determined, the approximate time frame gives a relative starting point to show the transition from scattered tribal communities to an actual empire that begins a line of dynasties to perpetually delineate power for a continuous historical record that continued into modern times.\nThe Xia Dynasty is accepted to be the first true empire that arose in China. As a marking point for the transition between the Stone Age and the Bronze Age, the major advances in development created the foundation for the long line of technological discoveries that were yet to come. One of the major accomplishments of the Xia Dynasty was the attempts to control the flooding of the Yellow River by Yu the Great. After Yu managed to get the Yellow River under control, he turned his attention to uniting the Sanmiao tribes. His feats and charisma allowed him to inspire people to follow him as a ruler, and his rule is not known to have been despotic in nature. He is credited with establishing the system of succession and in turn the very concept of a dynasty. In establishing a feudal system that articulated a ruling class and a working class, the innate power struggles of having an oppressed class would forever become a part of the changing political landscape.\n\nIn many ways, the early feudal states were examples of the beginnings of decentralization. As the first Dynasty united the tribes, one of the initial acts of necessity was dividing authority and defining roles. While the works on \u201cDivision of Labor\u201d did not come until much later in the West, the beginnings of dividing labor for the sake of efficient production and management of capital were flourishing in the first Dynasties. As the power gradually became more unified over the first thousand years of dynasties in China, what is known as the \u201cMandate of Heaven\u201d came to be the officially recognized union of Divine Right of Leadership and the role of making law. The inclusion of \u201cDivine Right\u201d meant that the government no longer held authority over choosing the leader in the presence of \u201cDivinity\u201d. This provision in the approach to passing down the rule allowed for many nefarious actors to manipulate their way into positions of leadership, but it did not hinder the overall development of the nation.\n\nAs the civilization grew and culture expanded, technology quickly accelerated, and many of the most famous philosophers and poets emerged from this period in Chinese history. It was at the end of the Zhou Dynasty that government became decentralized as the capitol city moved and a period of warring states began. The states were moving towards wanting sovereign rule for their individual states, but the rulers within the individual states wanted to claim the Mandate of Heaven. It was when Ying Zheng successfully defeated the other states and united them under his rule to proclaim himself the \u2018First Emperor\u2019 of China. One of his first acts as Emperor was to tear down the walls that separated the individual states, and start to build a wall surrounding all of the territories. While the wall does not remain intact today, the Great Wall of China is what remains of what was once a 3,000 mile long wall. As Ying - now known as Shi Huangti- conquered more lands, he became increasingly despotic with his rule. As the empire moved away from decentralization, the unified front allowed for major advancements to be made in building projects and military operations; but on the other hand the increased need to restrict information and free speech was a side effect of the increased authoritarian rule. It was not long after Shi Huangti\u2019s death that the empire collapsed due to mismanagement by unfit rulers appointed solely because of nepotism. Once again, the dissolution of a centralized authority caused the territorial control to decentralize and inherently cause more power struggles.\nAs the Chinese territories expanded, and the dynasties changed names, the ebb and flow between decentralization and centralization was a continuous evolution that formed a middle ground between extremes. Any time leadership drifted too far in one direction, whether towards complete decentralization or complete centralization, the natural equilibrium became a mix of leadership styles, rather than a complete implementation of one ideology. Even into modern government application, what is often misunderstood as completely \u201cStatist\u201d or \u201cCommunist\u201d actually has a complex mix of centralization and decentralization in the actual organization of government entities.\n\nTo get a better picture of why the centralized government must operate with some autonomy allowed within the economy, it is necessary to understand the organization of territories. There are three basic classifications of government oversight over a territory: province, county, and township. A further delineation of responsibilities separate prefectures under the jurisdiction of provinces, and villages are relegated to the authority of townships. There are twenty-two provinces, five autonomic regions, four municipalities, and two special administrative groups. China also has five autonomic regions that have equal status as provinces. The reasoning is that these autonomic regions are the homes of the majority of the country\u2019s minority groups In the West, these regions may be seen as annexed states that are \u201cunder the control\u201d of the Chinese government, when in reality they operate with relative autonomy. \n\nThe two special administrative regions are Hong Kong and Macao, which grant them special protections. These regions have their own currencies, passports, and judicial systems. While these separations, classifications, and nuances may be hard for a Westerner to initially grasp, the cultural approach to management and division of labor has been fairly consistent in China in its capacity to distribute power and authority seeking efficiency and a unified goal. In that regard, the problem of an individual looking to overthrow the leader and usurp the head of state role has also been a consistent problem for the duration of Chinese history. The \u201cByzantine General\u2019s Problem\u201d effectively originated 2500 years before the fall of the Byzantine empire. \n\nIn understanding the true nature of decentralization as a natural counterbalance to centralization, one must create a new paradigm that recognizes meritocracy as part of the process of establishing a leader or a system without a leader. In a true meritocracy, the presence of a leader is irrelevant to results. In this situation, we can establish the \u201cMandate of Heaven Dilemma\u201d. This new problem becomes an issue of recognizing that if meritocracy is to be recognized, that arbitrary timing of leader or policy changes do not truly serve meritocracy. In the MoHD, a leader can be replaced at any time with a \u201cbetter\u201d leader if either the new leader proves herself worthy, or the crowd and populace choose to recognize the new authority. In either scenario, the intentions of the new leader are irrelevant. In this MoHD, the meritocracy will establish a paradigm in which the leadership position goes to the most effective and efficient leader with no regards to morality or ethics. \n\nIn many ways, the embodiment of what is desired to be the ideal \u201cfree market\u201d would be the MoHD playing out on the macro and micro scale. If local leaders emerged based on merit, and were constantly at risk of being replaced by a \u201cbetter\u201d official, the evolution of the macro and micro systems would be accelerated. It is in understanding the benefits of centralization and decentralization in addition to the downfalls of both that a new paradigm can emerge to make more effective and efficient use of capital than has been previously known in human history. While Keynesian theory sprang forth in a post-industrialized world in an attempt to expound on new methods of scaling economies, it has become clear in modern times that those theories were formed heavily in favor of the oligarchies that existed in the 1800\u2019s and turn of the 20th century. Many post-Keynesian theories have been articulated, but mainstream academia continues to cling to Keynesian theory as the dominant approach to forming economies. \n\u2003\nThe Death of Keynesian theory: Proto-Dynamism is born \nAs we see the global markets in turmoil and the European Union on the verge of collapse while Britain postures to exit, it is clear that a new paradigm of capital distribution, production, and management must emerge. Keynesian theory has produced a global market bubble that has seemingly popped, as the news of Britain Leaving the EU wiped $127 billion off the global markets in a single day. In light of the MoHD that has been presented, a new paradigm that emerges and proves better use of capital can either be adopted because it has proven it is better, the populace chooses to recognize it, or in a direct confrontation with the old paradigm it emerges with more resources and capital. In many ways, the concerted media attack on digital currencies and Bitcoin have represented the old paradigm\u2019s first line of defense in attempting to preserve the legacy systems that currently control global capital distribution. \n\nIn presenting the MoHD, what is occurring in modern times is the merit of the old paradigm is being directly challenged. Whether one points at Bitcoin, Occupy Wall Street, the Green Movement in Iran, or the Gezi protests in Istanbul, the old paradigms that control the global markets are being challenged individually. In many ways, the Keynesian special interest groups have actively worked to compartmentalize the uprisings to ensure that the timing of individual revolts does not snowball into a global uprising against Keynesian theory. In an example, the media blacked out the Green movement in Iran, blacked out the Wisconsin protests that were the pre-cursor to Occupy Wall Street, and is currently blacking out the protests in France that are happening in June of 2016. The global mainstream media appears to actively compartmentalize these revolutions in individual contexts, rather than attempt to link them as a revolution against authoritarianism and the remnants of colonialism in modern times. \nWhile this article is not meant to speculate on conspiracy theories, what is meant to be presented is a post-Keynesian approach to capital distribution and management. Taking the thermo-economic approach to capital production and management, an organization must attempt to become a dynamo, which in physics is a machine that takes one source of energy and converts it to output energy to a receptor. The more efficient dynamos can surpass 100% efficiency and start to produce more energy than they take in, but these are theoretical dynamos based in quantum theory that are not yet attainable. \n \nIn the context of thermo-economics, creating a dynamo is an attempt to combine physical infrastructure, political management, and capital management into the most efficient economic machine possible. The machine only pays attention to efficiency, and pays no regard to the cogs; meaning that special interest groups have no meaning in the context of an economic dynamo. In this context, maintaining ethical standards and moral common ground becomes a function of the system; digital direct democracy.\n\nIf one looks at the Crypto Rush objectively, there have been more technological developments within the past six months than there were for the previous three years. This is perfectly in line with the technology associated with the gold rush, as the first miners were able to easily make money with pick-axes and panhandling, but as the gold became scarce, hydraulic drills and tech more advanced tech became necessary to mine the ore.\nJust the same with the influx of pyrite or \u201cfool\u2019s gold\u201d following the gold rush, the \u201cfool\u2019s alts\u201d have made an entire community jaded to the point of throwing out the word \u201cscam\u201d as if it were a common salutation. In the wild west of Cryptoland, the harsh realities of economic Darwinism coupled with the fantastic possibilities of thermo-economics have created a machine which I will call a \u201cproto-dynamo\u201d.\n\nIt is important to establish the \u201cProto-dynamo\u201d as concept that represents an entirely new paradigm of economic infrastructure. The concept alludes to the \u201cdynamo\u201d which is a machine that uses opposing magnetic forces to efficiently produce/convert energy. The principle behind the dynamo is to use opposing forces within the same machine to get a consolidated output of energy. If the new paradigm of \u201cprotodynamism\u201d can be represented by an electrical generator, the old paradigm of Keynesian theory can be represented by a meat grinder in which ten pounds of product goes in one side, and six ounces of tasteless sausage comes out the funnel possibly tainted with formaldehyde or some random pesticide that is unpronounceable.\n\nAs Marshall McLuhan predicted with his \u201cglobal village\u201d theory, the growth of mass media has quickly made information extremely accessible to the average individual. In tandem with an infrastructure that allows crowd-funding to bring ideas to fruition as fast as possible, progress of technology that is useful to society will be able to hit the most efficient point that has ever been recorded.\n\nThe Arab Spring has been an actual revolution fueled by technology and information sharing that would not have been possible without the ability to quickly share strings of 140 characters. With the ability to share information comes the ability to have shared experiences. What have been forecasted as digital tribes by Mcluhan are the logical extensions of a globe trying to break free of the archaic and imperialist paradigm of nation-states.\n \n\u2003\nThe Power of Crowdfunding\n\n One of the major benefits to having a Decentralized Conglomerate structure is the ability for capital to be accrued and used towards a given project. This means that organizations that are partnered into a DC have less friction between their organizations to slow down the movement of capital or take too much of the capital in the form of fees and overhead. In the context of multiple businesses working in complimentary industries, the capacity for organizations to pool money towards development has the potential to accelerate the speed at which all participants reach their desired outcomes. \n\nA traditional conglomerate is made up of a parent corporation with subsidiary companies. As well, there are shareholders that have a stake in the company. In some cases, there will be a board of directors in addition to the executive management. When it comes to leadership, the conglomerates are usually top-down hierarchies with the vision and direction coming from the leaders at the top. While the system is not democratic, a singular leader or group of leaders with the capacity to make executive decisions makes executing projects much simpler than having a completely decentralized operation. While there are varying degrees of oversight, generally the top-down structure is the standard for traditional conglomerates. \n \nSome levels of decentralization have taken place in larger corporations, as they have had to diversify to meet market demands. In these cases, the decentralization usually is implemented to give the subsidiary companies more autonomy, but in the context of the conglomerate, the parent company\u2019s vision is still the guiding principle. Many companies have seen success in increasing their output or market share when moving towards a more decentralized management system. In this regard, \u201cdecentralization\u201d will always imply that there was a higher level of centralization than previously. \n\nAs with the Chinese Dynasties, and in effect every other major empire or nation-state that has existed, the interplay between centralization and decentralization is a matter of the economic situation needing direct intervention or not; and further if economic intervention is ever needed, how many people must be involved in the decision making process. The more people are involved in a decision making process, by default the more time a decision takes. As well, when many people are affected by a decision, the smaller the number of people making the decision, the more likely a revolt against the outcome or the governing body will take place. It is in these extremes that the traditional conglomerate has major benefits from leadership, and major impediments if the leadership is either too slow or too draconian against the people\u2019s will.\n\nCrowdfunding is anticipated to surpass venture capital in total global investments into the Fintech industry in 2016. As crowdfunding levels reached over $34 billion in total funds raised in 2015, crowdfunding as an industry is emerging in its own right. As laws are changing to keep up with digital currencies and assets, the landscape for raising funds has been forever changed as raising funds with or without equity shares has become accessible to anyone with Internet access and capital. The reality of the quickly changing market demands necessitate an agile organization that can react to market forces rather than attempting to resist the market in pursuit of following the course of what had been planned with no room for adjustment.\n\nWith the advent of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), the entire process of turning an idea into a tangible item gets taken out of the hands of corporations, and the development becomes an intimate exchange between the crowd and the actual developers. When an idea is presented to the crowd, the ideas that the crowd deems fit get funded.\n\nKickstarter is one of the most well-known crowd funding sources for start-up projects; but as cryptocurrency takes off teams like Mastercoin, Swarm, and Counterparty have created systems that allow crowd-funding to take on the direct route cutting out the middle man. As these systems are improved upon to create \u201ctrustless\u201d infrastructures where there are safeguards to prevent exploitation within a trade, viable options to centralized banking are closer to reality.\n\nOpenLedger is attempting to harness the forces of crowdfunding and follow the trend of increased crowdfunding over VC, rather than try to fight the trend. OpenLedger has begun hosting crowd sales on its platform to enable businesses to raise funds for their organization, contribute to the growth of the OpenLedger DC, and add to the pool of capital for the DC. To give the platform a unified crowdfunding token, OpenLedger created ICOO, which stands for \u201cInitial Coin Offering OpenLedger\u201d.\n\nICOO was designed to be a token that represents the crowdfunding platform on OpenLedger. As the OpenLedger platform is robust and has many different elements, the crowdfunding aspect is another addition to establish a functional economic ecosystem. Instead of creating an ecosystem that only works for existing businesses and consumers, the OpenLedger platform will be useful to startups and existing businesses alike concerning raising capital through crowdfunding. \n \nICOO represents more than a crowdfunding portal. As there are many elements to executing a successful crowdfunding campaign, the OpenLedger/CCEDK team have laid out plans to organize advertising, generate literature and content, distribute content over social networks, and assist organizations with the transition to having a digital currency system. As well, OpenLedger will be providing tiered options to give organizations different levels of assistance with executing a crowd fund. \n\nThe BitTeaser advertising network is a major part of the OpenLedger ecosystem that will help crowdfunding projects get traction. Advertising is the biggest part of getting attention focused on a new project. The BitTeaser community executes paid placed advertisements on websites and affiliate websites, and in the context of crowdfunding, this service will be used for all projects using OpenLedger to fund their projects. \n\nIn tandem with the banner ads, the Obits community will contribute paid literature about a crowdfunded project through the 500 Blogger\u2019s Club. The club has been focused on paying writers to generate content, and a partnership with the OpenLedger platform through the DC has added the element of producing content into the ecosystem. The synergy between BitTeaser and Obits will create an environment in which an organization looking to use OpenLedger can get all of their needs met in one place. Establishing a central point for an all-encompassing solution will make it easier for businesses to transition to digital currency systems, and in the process OpenLedger will benefit from the DC growth. \n \n \u2003\nMandate of Heaven Dilemna\n\nThe MoHD is an issue of having a law, mandate, code, or agreed upon terms from which a \u201cworthy\u201d leader can usurp the current power structure. The fallout then becomes whether the population wants to recognize the mandate, and acknowledge that by taking over a power structure, the new leader proves herself worthy by default. If the population recognizes the MoH, the edicts and rules of the new leader become law. If the population does not recognize the MoH and decides to revolt against the new leader, the power struggle for leadership ignores the MoH and by proxy the new leader that emerges will ultimately have to give an explanation for ignoring the MoH, or in an attempt to reunify the territories, claim that the MoH was proven by the tertiary leader emerging. \n\nIn the context of blockchain technology, the recent failure of the DAO and the resulting identification of a problem with the code of Solidity has established a real world example of the MoHD. What was initially misdiagnosed as a \u201chack\u201d that drained the DAO fund of around $60 million USD, was later shown to be a poorly written contract on top of code that had a fundamentally flawed approach to its voting and capital distribution mechanisms. In attempting to solve the \u201cByzantine General\u2019s Problem\u201d, the coders and system architects were either unaware of the MoHD, or did not give it the proper diligence in researching how it could affect the digital structure. \n\nEffectively, the Ethereum coders created a Mandate of Heaven for their blockchain, meaning if a coder or arbiter could effectively make use of the code or terms, whatever actions they took would be legally binding and technically in line with the protocol. In the DAO \u201cattack\u201d, there was no \u201cattack\u201d; effectively an arbiter realized that there was a Mandate of Heaven written into the code and in tandem the DAO \u201csmart contract\u201d. In moving $60 million into a \u201cchild DAO\u201d following terms and conditions, the \u201cEmperor\u201d effectively took whatever she could and following the MoH to the letter, forcibly removed $60 million from the collective funds. \n\nThe resulting fallout has been a mixed combination of applications of theory. While the community has not had a unified voice, inevitably it has fallen on the shoulders of the Ethereum founders and architects to make the decisions necessary to attempt a resolution that will appease the community without compromising the integrity of the protocol. Effectively, the MoH is an agnostic principle that forces the leadership to be efficient with capital, beware of despotism causing revolutions, and painfully aware for the potential of his own removal. The last two aspects of the way the MoH affect leadership are seemingly contradictory, and may explain the common implosion of empires at the hands of draconian and brutal regimes that lose track of effective application of capital. \n\nAs well, the leaders that have emerged throughout history as having walked the balance between making effective use of capital and pleasing the needs of the population have seemingly understood the collective consciousness to the point of being able to unify the populations without having them lose their individual identities. In some cases, establishing a new collective identity was the answer to this dilemma, for example in the case of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk establishing the Turkish Republic after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. \n\nWhile the emergence of the Turkish Republic did not happen immediately at the end of the empire, it was the unification of the Turkish population against the British in the Nationalist War of Independence, and the simultaneous internal power struggle of the secular republic against the religious regime that had dominated the region off and on since the 14th century that enabled a nuanced government to be established. In articulating \u201cKemalism\u201d, Mustafa Kemal effectively created a \u201cMandate of Heaven\u201d that ironically gave the military the concept to defend the population from any semblance of a religious monarchy at all costs. While the application of military intervention in a coup d\u2019\u00e9tat may seem completely contradictory to democracy, over the last 100 years the Turkish military has shown that after a coup has occurred, the re-establishment of democratic voting is only a matter of ending the violence associated with the coup. In effect, the less violent a coup, the less collateral damage and fallout necessary to clean up before founding a new democracy. \n\nWhile the current Turkish government has drifted back near a religious monarchy, the traditional military intervention was pre-emptively deconstructed as Recep Erdogan had jailed many commanders, generals, and officials that would have been the voices of revolt. As the military had become the arm of the MoH in Turkey, the newly emerging Sultanate is establishing a more nepotistic neo-Ottoman empire. While Erdogan seemingly has mastered the Byzantine General\u2019s problem by simply \u201cjailing all the generals\u201d, in dismantling the MoH he has effectively created a \u201cWild West\u201d scenario. While there is a semblance of a unified government during the times of the Wild West, the furthest and most rural reaches of what is supposed to have government oversight has no oversight because the government doesn\u2019t have the capacity to effectively monitor or secure the land. \n\nOne of the nuances of the Wild West is that the most powerful force dominates, and in that regard fairness and humanitarianism go out the window. There are no penalties for nepotism within government, and there are no real penalties for breaking laws in areas that the government can\u2019t reach. This is where the world of digital currency has its common traits with actual human history. As digital currency is essentially a digital wild west, having regulators enforce laws in areas that they are not familiar is not only difficult, it becomes questionable if the old laws even apply in the newly charted territories. \n\nAs governments struggle to understand digital currencies and their implications, the world of digital currency is \u201ctaxed\u201d but seemingly unprotected. The individuals who choose to participate in effect have to arm and protect themselves from attackers knowing that they will get no real assistance from the government that is taking taxes. In effect this wild west scenario breeds vigilantism and necessity for collective response to malicious actors. With the recent attack to the DAO, one of the counter-measures was to attack the original attacker; effectively this stayed inline with the MoH that was created within the Ethereum/Solidity/DAO protocol. \n\nA counter-attack against the DAO attacker #1 successfully secured $7 million in funds from the original $60 million. As the community scrambled to understand the implications of what had occurred, different approaches to solving the overarching problem were being attempted and theorized. One of the challenges facing the community was to decide whether to recognize the original MoH (soft fork and attack attacker #1), or destroy MoH and establish new rules (hard fork and have new genesis block). The Byzantine General\u2019s problem has already been failed by the coders of Ethereum and the founders of the DAO in this scenario. The real issue was whether to recognize the MoH or to let the empire crumble completely and free up the locked capital to re-enter into the free market. \n\nThe DAO crisis has not yet come to an end as of the writing of this paper, and updates will be made to reflect the long term outcomes of that scenario. It is impossible to predict the outcome of any set of variables, however it is a responsibility of those who control capital to make effective and efficient use of the capital. This requires being informed about the history of capital, and how politics, war, science, art, literature, education, humanitarianism and countless other variables affect capital. It is an imperfect science that by proxy the practitioners must continue to strive towards an unachievable perfection. If decentralization is to properly be applied in a global economy, the application must be not only informed, but agile and able to evolve. Reaching a state of stasis is contradictory to the natural imperative of evolution. In effect, survival is a matter of constantly evolving whether in the context of nature or in the context of commercial industries. \n\nInstitutional memory becomes an imperative when it comes to keeping a unified organizational evolution moving. An example of institutional memory would be \u201cCongress\u201d or the \u201cSupreme Court\u201d in the United States government. The idea was that instead of having agnostic principles that were to have authority over a specific set of rules or actions, democracy would be applied to congress to decide a group of elected officials that would attempt to balance the desires of the people against the knowledge of the institutional memory of congress. \n\nIn the case of the Supreme Court, the idea is that a group of officials that are appointed by an elected official to represent balanced views of the country will also retain the institutional memory necessary to make informed decisions about establishing new rules and laws. In this context, having institutional memory reduces the necessity of retreading debates and theoretically is an attempt to move debate forward with the knowledge of everything that has occurred previously. \n\nWhen DAO theory was emerging, the concept of Digital Leadership had not quite been articulated, and the theoretical foundation of the DAO was ultimately rooted in a MoH that created a leaderless system where organizations were to function based around goals and objectives that were agreed upon, rather than the decision of a specific individual or group. Many attempts at creating DAOs have been attempted, with the recent Slockit DAO being the largest on record. While the Slockit DAO was the largest, the success of the project is debatable depending on what metric of \u201csuccess\u201d is being discussed.\n\nBitshares token could be considered one of the more successful DAO projects that utilizes a combination of Proof of Stake security with colored coin protocol to allow organizations to receive the benefits of decentralized security, and the benefits of having a centralized currency and platform. The ability for colored coins to be easily converted within the UI for bitshares makes access to any asset listed on the market equal. The result is that organizations have incentive to create their own representative asset knowing that there is a centralized platform that makes exchange for other assets easy and cost effective. \n\nBeyond remittance payments, organizational control of capital becomes a new opportunity for capital to become more efficiently used in the context of the global economy. Removing the resistance for capital to flow means that it can go from the least needed to the most needed areas, and in the process generate new capital rather than stagnate against inflation. In the context of thermos-economics, resting capital can be seen as \u201cpotential energy\u201d, and capital that is being used is \u201ckinetic energy\u201d. If the global economic machine is to accelerate, it needs to convert the potential energy into kinetic energy as efficiently as possible. \n\nEfficiency with capital should be agnostic in the global economy. This is where a new paradigm of \u201cDecentralized Conglomerates\u201d apply thermos-economic theory in attempt to create an economic \u201cDynamo\u201d that makes most effective use of balancing potential and kinetic energy. If a \u201creserve fund\u201d is seen as a \u201cbattery\u201d that turns kinetic energy into potential energy for storage, then creating a dynamo that has the correct number of \u201cbatteries\u201d stored away to power the dynamo during phases in which the machine is not transforming any potential energy into kinetic becomes an agnostic principle that pays no regard to political party, religious affiliation, or special interest group. \nWhile this ideal state may seem unattainable, it is clear that attempting to achieve these goals will require a transitional period. During this transition, digital leadership must be employed to ensure that the capital does not go to waste. The DAO debacle shows the possibility that complete absence of Digital Leadership can result in a complete waste of potential energy with no resulting kinetic energy in the dynamo. It may be possible that a completely leaderless system is not desirable. Regardless, the DC makes an attempt at striking a balance between applying digital leadership and giving autonomy to special interest groups within the DC. The team at OpenLedger believes the Decentralized Conglomerate can be the economic engine that helps pilot the globe into the paradigm of the future. \n \nReferences\n\nDigital Leadership Definition - http://searchcio.techtarget.com/definition/digital-leadership?utm_medium=EM&asrc=EM_NLN_57771210&utm_campaign=20160524_Word%20of%20the%20Day:%20digital%20leadership_kherbert&utm_source=NLN&track=NL-1823&ad=907917&src=907917\n\nFuture of Crowdfunding in Belgium-\nhttps://bolero-crowdfunding.be/nl/news-events/news/financial-crowdfunding\n\nDigixDAO:\nhttp://allcoinsnews.com/2016/02/23/new-gold-linked-digital-token-platform-reveals-crowdsale-website-for-decentralized-organization\n\nConglomerate Definition:\nhttp://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/conglomerate.asp\n\nConglomerate Discount Problem:\nhttp://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/conglomeratediscount.asp\n\nAre Conglomerates Making a Comeback:\nhttp://www.omaha.com/money/are-conglomerates-making-a-comeback-berkshire-hathaway-s-business-model/article_a98b99a2-acca-5a89-9108-470d46a3fca8.html\n\nBlockchain startups make up 20% of largest crowdfunding projects\n\nhttp://venturebeat.com/2016/05/15/blockchain-startups-make-up-20-of-largest-crowdfunding-projects/\n\nThe DAO Way: Democratic Investment Fund:\n\nhttp://www.coinfox.info/news/reviews/5589-put-dao-demokraticheskij-investitsionnyj-fond-2\n\nThe DAO Block Explorer (The DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization established April 2016 that invests in other businesses.

By the very nature of \u201cdecentralization\u201d, it can only take place after \u201ccentralization\u201d has occurred. Going back 4,000 years to the earliest days in China when divine right was still part of determining leadership, one can find deliberate implementations of decentralization in the application of managing how people operate. The common marriage of religion and bureaucratic hierarchies established environments in which distributed authority or fully decentralized authority became common. In times when information could not be relayed with the speed of modern day communications, having a unified goal inherently became more difficult as an empire expanded. \n\nEven beyond the nuances added by having mercenaries and slaves as part of an empire\u2019s army, the speed of communication made large scale coordination extremely difficult over long distances. In historical examples, the larger an empire became, the rulers were forced to become either more despotic or more democratic. There was no stagnation in responsibility. As territories expanded, decisions inherently affected more populations. As populations became more diverse, it was inherently more difficult to find common ground in political agendas.\nTo understand the ebb and flow between centralization and decentralization, it is important to get a brief context of the emergence of dynasties in China. The current generally accepted date for the emergence of the first actual villages is placed around 5000 BCE. As the exact date cannot be determined, the approximate time frame gives a relative starting point to show the transition from scattered tribal communities to an actual empire that begins a line of dynasties to perpetually delineate power for a continuous historical record that continued into modern times.\nThe Xia Dynasty is accepted to be the first true empire that arose in China. As a marking point for the transition between the Stone Age and the Bronze Age, the major advances in development created the foundation for the long line of technological discoveries that were yet to come. One of the major accomplishments of the Xia Dynasty was the attempts to control the flooding of the Yellow River by Yu the Great. After Yu managed to get the Yellow River under control, he turned his attention to uniting the Sanmiao tribes. His feats and charisma allowed him to inspire people to follow him as a ruler, and his rule is not known to have been despotic in nature. He is credited with establishing the system of succession and in turn the very concept of a dynasty. In establishing a feudal system that articulated a ruling class and a working class, the innate power struggles of having an oppressed class would forever become a part of the changing political landscape.\n\nIn many ways, the early feudal states were examples of the beginnings of decentralization. As the first Dynasty united the tribes, one of the initial acts of necessity was dividing authority and defining roles. While the works on \u201cDivision of Labor\u201d did not come until much later in the West, the beginnings of dividing labor for the sake of efficient production and management of capital were flourishing in the first Dynasties. As the power gradually became more unified over the first thousand years of dynasties in China, what is known as the \u201cMandate of Heaven\u201d came to be the officially recognized union of Divine Right of Leadership and the role of making law. The inclusion of \u201cDivine Right\u201d meant that the government no longer held authority over choosing the leader in the presence of \u201cDivinity\u201d. This provision in the approach to passing down the rule allowed for many nefarious actors to manipulate their way into positions of leadership, but it did not hinder the overall development of the nation.\n\nAs the civilization grew and culture expanded, technology quickly accelerated, and many of the most famous philosophers and poets emerged from this period in Chinese history. It was at the end of the Zhou Dynasty that government became decentralized as the capitol city moved and a period of warring states began. The states were moving towards wanting sovereign rule for their individual states, but the rulers within the individual states wanted to claim the Mandate of Heaven. It was when Ying Zheng successfully defeated the other states and united them under his rule to proclaim himself the \u2018First Emperor\u2019 of China. One of his first acts as Emperor was to tear down the walls that separated the individual states, and start to build a wall surrounding all of the territories. While the wall does not remain intact today, the Great Wall of China is what remains of what was once a 3,000 mile long wall. As Ying - now known as Shi Huangti- conquered more lands, he became increasingly despotic with his rule. As the empire moved away from decentralization, the unified front allowed for major advancements to be made in building projects and military operations; but on the other hand the increased need to restrict information and free speech was a side effect of the increased authoritarian rule. It was not long after Shi Huangti\u2019s death that the empire collapsed due to mismanagement by unfit rulers appointed solely because of nepotism. Once again, the dissolution of a centralized authority caused the territorial control to decentralize and inherently cause more power struggles.\nAs the Chinese territories expanded, and the dynasties changed names, the ebb and flow between decentralization and centralization was a continuous evolution that formed a middle ground between extremes. Any time leadership drifted too far in one direction, whether towards complete decentralization or complete centralization, the natural equilibrium became a mix of leadership styles, rather than a complete implementation of one ideology. Even into modern government application, what is often misunderstood as completely \u201cStatist\u201d or \u201cCommunist\u201d actually has a complex mix of centralization and decentralization in the actual organization of government entities.\n\nTo get a better picture of why the centralized government must operate with some autonomy allowed within the economy, it is necessary to understand the organization of territories. There are three basic classifications of government oversight over a territory: province, county, and township. A further delineation of responsibilities separate prefectures under the jurisdiction of provinces, and villages are relegated to the authority of townships. There are twenty-two provinces, five autonomic regions, four municipalities, and two special administrative groups. China also has five autonomic regions that have equal status as provinces. The reasoning is that these autonomic regions are the homes of the majority of the country\u2019s minority groups In the West, these regions may be seen as annexed states that are \u201cunder the control\u201d of the Chinese government, when in reality they operate with relative autonomy. \n\nThe two special administrative regions are Hong Kong and Macao, which grant them special protections. These regions have their own currencies, passports, and judicial systems. While these separations, classifications, and nuances may be hard for a Westerner to initially grasp, the cultural approach to management and division of labor has been fairly consistent in China in its capacity to distribute power and authority seeking efficiency and a unified goal. In that regard, the problem of an individual looking to overthrow the leader and usurp the head of state role has also been a consistent problem for the duration of Chinese history. The \u201cByzantine General\u2019s Problem\u201d effectively originated 2500 years before the fall of the Byzantine empire. \n\nIn understanding the true nature of decentralization as a natural counterbalance to centralization, one must create a new paradigm that recognizes meritocracy as part of the process of establishing a leader or a system without a leader. In a true meritocracy, the presence of a leader is irrelevant to results. In this situation, we can establish the \u201cMandate of Heaven Dilemma\u201d. This new problem becomes an issue of recognizing that if meritocracy is to be recognized, that arbitrary timing of leader or policy changes do not truly serve meritocracy. In the MoHD, a leader can be replaced at any time with a \u201cbetter\u201d leader if either the new leader proves herself worthy, or the crowd and populace choose to recognize the new authority. In either scenario, the intentions of the new leader are irrelevant. In this MoHD, the meritocracy will establish a paradigm in which the leadership position goes to the most effective and efficient leader with no regards to morality or ethics. \n\nIn many ways, the embodiment of what is desired to be the ideal \u201cfree market\u201d would be the MoHD playing out on the macro and micro scale. If local leaders emerged based on merit, and were constantly at risk of being replaced by a \u201cbetter\u201d official, the evolution of the macro and micro systems would be accelerated. It is in understanding the benefits of centralization and decentralization in addition to the downfalls of both that a new paradigm can emerge to make more effective and efficient use of capital than has been previously known in human history. While Keynesian theory sprang forth in a post-industrialized world in an attempt to expound on new methods of scaling economies, it has become clear in modern times that those theories were formed heavily in favor of the oligarchies that existed in the 1800\u2019s and turn of the 20th century. Many post-Keynesian theories have been articulated, but mainstream academia continues to cling to Keynesian theory as the dominant approach to forming economies. \n\u2003\nThe Death of Keynesian theory: Proto-Dynamism is born \nAs we see the global markets in turmoil and the European Union on the verge of collapse while Britain postures to exit, it is clear that a new paradigm of capital distribution, production, and management must emerge. Keynesian theory has produced a global market bubble that has seemingly popped, as the news of Britain Leaving the EU wiped $127 billion off the global markets in a single day. In light of the MoHD that has been presented, a new paradigm that emerges and proves better use of capital can either be adopted because it has proven it is better, the populace chooses to recognize it, or in a direct confrontation with the old paradigm it emerges with more resources and capital. In many ways, the concerted media attack on digital currencies and Bitcoin have represented the old paradigm\u2019s first line of defense in attempting to preserve the legacy systems that currently control global capital distribution. \n\nIn presenting the MoHD, what is occurring in modern times is the merit of the old paradigm is being directly challenged. Whether one points at Bitcoin, Occupy Wall Street, the Green Movement in Iran, or the Gezi protests in Istanbul, the old paradigms that control the global markets are being challenged individually. In many ways, the Keynesian special interest groups have actively worked to compartmentalize the uprisings to ensure that the timing of individual revolts does not snowball into a global uprising against Keynesian theory. In an example, the media blacked out the Green movement in Iran, blacked out the Wisconsin protests that were the pre-cursor to Occupy Wall Street, and is currently blacking out the protests in France that are happening in June of 2016. The global mainstream media appears to actively compartmentalize these revolutions in individual contexts, rather than attempt to link them as a revolution against authoritarianism and the remnants of colonialism in modern times. \nWhile this article is not meant to speculate on conspiracy theories, what is meant to be presented is a post-Keynesian approach to capital distribution and management. Taking the thermo-economic approach to capital production and management, an organization must attempt to become a dynamo, which in physics is a machine that takes one source of energy and converts it to output energy to a receptor. The more efficient dynamos can surpass 100% efficiency and start to produce more energy than they take in, but these are theoretical dynamos based in quantum theory that are not yet attainable. \n \nIn the context of thermo-economics, creating a dynamo is an attempt to combine physical infrastructure, political management, and capital management into the most efficient economic machine possible. The machine only pays attention to efficiency, and pays no regard to the cogs; meaning that special interest groups have no meaning in the context of an economic dynamo. In this context, maintaining ethical standards and moral common ground becomes a function of the system; digital direct democracy.\n\nIf one looks at the Crypto Rush objectively, there have been more technological developments within the past six months than there were for the previous three years. This is perfectly in line with the technology associated with the gold rush, as the first miners were able to easily make money with pick-axes and panhandling, but as the gold became scarce, hydraulic drills and tech more advanced tech became necessary to mine the ore.\nJust the same with the influx of pyrite or \u201cfool\u2019s gold\u201d following the gold rush, the \u201cfool\u2019s alts\u201d have made an entire community jaded to the point of throwing out the word \u201cscam\u201d as if it were a common salutation. In the wild west of Cryptoland, the harsh realities of economic Darwinism coupled with the fantastic possibilities of thermo-economics have created a machine which I will call a \u201cproto-dynamo\u201d.\n\nIt is important to establish the \u201cProto-dynamo\u201d as concept that represents an entirely new paradigm of economic infrastructure. The concept alludes to the \u201cdynamo\u201d which is a machine that uses opposing magnetic forces to efficiently produce/convert energy. The principle behind the dynamo is to use opposing forces within the same machine to get a consolidated output of energy. If the new paradigm of \u201cprotodynamism\u201d can be represented by an electrical generator, the old paradigm of Keynesian theory can be represented by a meat grinder in which ten pounds of product goes in one side, and six ounces of tasteless sausage comes out the funnel possibly tainted with formaldehyde or some random pesticide that is unpronounceable.\n\nAs Marshall McLuhan predicted with his \u201cglobal village\u201d theory, the growth of mass media has quickly made information extremely accessible to the average individual. In tandem with an infrastructure that allows crowd-funding to bring ideas to fruition as fast as possible, progress of technology that is useful to society will be able to hit the most efficient point that has ever been recorded.\n\nThe Arab Spring has been an actual revolution fueled by technology and information sharing that would not have been possible without the ability to quickly share strings of 140 characters. With the ability to share information comes the ability to have shared experiences. What have been forecasted as digital tribes by Mcluhan are the logical extensions of a globe trying to break free of the archaic and imperialist paradigm of nation-states.\n \n\u2003\nThe Power of Crowdfunding\n\n One of the major benefits to having a Decentralized Conglomerate structure is the ability for capital to be accrued and used towards a given project. This means that organizations that are partnered into a DC have less friction between their organizations to slow down the movement of capital or take too much of the capital in the form of fees and overhead. In the context of multiple businesses working in complimentary industries, the capacity for organizations to pool money towards development has the potential to accelerate the speed at which all participants reach their desired outcomes. \n\nA traditional conglomerate is made up of a parent corporation with subsidiary companies. As well, there are shareholders that have a stake in the company. In some cases, there will be a board of directors in addition to the executive management. When it comes to leadership, the conglomerates are usually top-down hierarchies with the vision and direction coming from the leaders at the top. While the system is not democratic, a singular leader or group of leaders with the capacity to make executive decisions makes executing projects much simpler than having a completely decentralized operation. While there are varying degrees of oversight, generally the top-down structure is the standard for traditional conglomerates. \n \nSome levels of decentralization have taken place in larger corporations, as they have had to diversify to meet market demands. In these cases, the decentralization usually is implemented to give the subsidiary companies more autonomy, but in the context of the conglomerate, the parent company\u2019s vision is still the guiding principle. Many companies have seen success in increasing their output or market share when moving towards a more decentralized management system. In this regard, \u201cdecentralization\u201d will always imply that there was a higher level of centralization than previously. \n\nAs with the Chinese Dynasties, and in effect every other major empire or nation-state that has existed, the interplay between centralization and decentralization is a matter of the economic situation needing direct intervention or not; and further if economic intervention is ever needed, how many people must be involved in the decision making process. The more people are involved in a decision making process, by default the more time a decision takes. As well, when many people are affected by a decision, the smaller the number of people making the decision, the more likely a revolt against the outcome or the governing body will take place. It is in these extremes that the traditional conglomerate has major benefits from leadership, and major impediments if the leadership is either too slow or too draconian against the people\u2019s will.\n\nCrowdfunding is anticipated to surpass venture capital in total global investments into the Fintech industry in 2016. As crowdfunding levels reached over $34 billion in total funds raised in 2015, crowdfunding as an industry is emerging in its own right. As laws are changing to keep up with digital currencies and assets, the landscape for raising funds has been forever changed as raising funds with or without equity shares has become accessible to anyone with Internet access and capital. The reality of the quickly changing market demands necessitate an agile organization that can react to market forces rather than attempting to resist the market in pursuit of following the course of what had been planned with no room for adjustment.\n\nWith the advent of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), the entire process of turning an idea into a tangible item gets taken out of the hands of corporations, and the development becomes an intimate exchange between the crowd and the actual developers. When an idea is presented to the crowd, the ideas that the crowd deems fit get funded.\n\nKickstarter is one of the most well-known crowd funding sources for start-up projects; but as cryptocurrency takes off teams like Mastercoin, Swarm, and Counterparty have created systems that allow crowd-funding to take on the direct route cutting out the middle man. As these systems are improved upon to create \u201ctrustless\u201d infrastructures where there are safeguards to prevent exploitation within a trade, viable options to centralized banking are closer to reality.\n\nOpenLedger is attempting to harness the forces of crowdfunding and follow the trend of increased crowdfunding over VC, rather than try to fight the trend. OpenLedger has begun hosting crowd sales on its platform to enable businesses to raise funds for their organization, contribute to the growth of the OpenLedger DC, and add to the pool of capital for the DC. To give the platform a unified crowdfunding token, OpenLedger created ICOO, which stands for \u201cInitial Coin Offering OpenLedger\u201d.\n\nICOO was designed to be a token that represents the crowdfunding platform on OpenLedger. As the OpenLedger platform is robust and has many different elements, the crowdfunding aspect is another addition to establish a functional economic ecosystem. Instead of creating an ecosystem that only works for existing businesses and consumers, the OpenLedger platform will be useful to startups and existing businesses alike concerning raising capital through crowdfunding. \n \nICOO represents more than a crowdfunding portal. As there are many elements to executing a successful crowdfunding campaign, the OpenLedger/CCEDK team have laid out plans to organize advertising, generate literature and content, distribute content over social networks, and assist organizations with the transition to having a digital currency system. As well, OpenLedger will be providing tiered options to give organizations different levels of assistance with executing a crowd fund. \n\nThe BitTeaser advertising network is a major part of the OpenLedger ecosystem that will help crowdfunding projects get traction. Advertising is the biggest part of getting attention focused on a new project. The BitTeaser community executes paid placed advertisements on websites and affiliate websites, and in the context of crowdfunding, this service will be used for all projects using OpenLedger to fund their projects. \n\nIn tandem with the banner ads, the Obits community will contribute paid literature about a crowdfunded project through the 500 Blogger\u2019s Club. The club has been focused on paying writers to generate content, and a partnership with the OpenLedger platform through the DC has added the element of producing content into the ecosystem. The synergy between BitTeaser and Obits will create an environment in which an organization looking to use OpenLedger can get all of their needs met in one place. Establishing a central point for an all-encompassing solution will make it easier for businesses to transition to digital currency systems, and in the process OpenLedger will benefit from the DC growth. \n \n \u2003\nMandate of Heaven Dilemna\n\nThe MoHD is an issue of having a law, mandate, code, or agreed upon terms from which a \u201cworthy\u201d leader can usurp the current power structure. The fallout then becomes whether the population wants to recognize the mandate, and acknowledge that by taking over a power structure, the new leader proves herself worthy by default. If the population recognizes the MoH, the edicts and rules of the new leader become law. If the population does not recognize the MoH and decides to revolt against the new leader, the power struggle for leadership ignores the MoH and by proxy the new leader that emerges will ultimately have to give an explanation for ignoring the MoH, or in an attempt to reunify the territories, claim that the MoH was proven by the tertiary leader emerging. \n\nIn the context of blockchain technology, the recent failure of the DAO and the resulting identification of a problem with the code of Solidity has established a real world example of the MoHD. What was initially misdiagnosed as a \u201chack\u201d that drained the DAO fund of around $60 million USD, was later shown to be a poorly written contract on top of code that had a fundamentally flawed approach to its voting and capital distribution mechanisms. In attempting to solve the \u201cByzantine General\u2019s Problem\u201d, the coders and system architects were either unaware of the MoHD, or did not give it the proper diligence in researching how it could affect the digital structure. \n\nEffectively, the Ethereum coders created a Mandate of Heaven for their blockchain, meaning if a coder or arbiter could effectively make use of the code or terms, whatever actions they took would be legally binding and technically in line with the protocol. In the DAO \u201cattack\u201d, there was no \u201cattack\u201d; effectively an arbiter realized that there was a Mandate of Heaven written into the code and in tandem the DAO \u201csmart contract\u201d. In moving $60 million into a \u201cchild DAO\u201d following terms and conditions, the \u201cEmperor\u201d effectively took whatever she could and following the MoH to the letter, forcibly removed $60 million from the collective funds. \n\nThe resulting fallout has been a mixed combination of applications of theory. While the community has not had a unified voice, inevitably it has fallen on the shoulders of the Ethereum founders and architects to make the decisions necessary to attempt a resolution that will appease the community without compromising the integrity of the protocol. Effectively, the MoH is an agnostic principle that forces the leadership to be efficient with capital, beware of despotism causing revolutions, and painfully aware for the potential of his own removal. The last two aspects of the way the MoH affect leadership are seemingly contradictory, and may explain the common implosion of empires at the hands of draconian and brutal regimes that lose track of effective application of capital. \n\nAs well, the leaders that have emerged throughout history as having walked the balance between making effective use of capital and pleasing the needs of the population have seemingly understood the collective consciousness to the point of being able to unify the populations without having them lose their individual identities. In some cases, establishing a new collective identity was the answer to this dilemma, for example in the case of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk establishing the Turkish Republic after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. \n\nWhile the emergence of the Turkish Republic did not happen immediately at the end of the empire, it was the unification of the Turkish population against the British in the Nationalist War of Independence, and the simultaneous internal power struggle of the secular republic against the religious regime that had dominated the region off and on since the 14th century that enabled a nuanced government to be established. In articulating \u201cKemalism\u201d, Mustafa Kemal effectively created a \u201cMandate of Heaven\u201d that ironically gave the military the concept to defend the population from any semblance of a religious monarchy at all costs. While the application of military intervention in a coup d\u2019\u00e9tat may seem completely contradictory to democracy, over the last 100 years the Turkish military has shown that after a coup has occurred, the re-establishment of democratic voting is only a matter of ending the violence associated with the coup. In effect, the less violent a coup, the less collateral damage and fallout necessary to clean up before founding a new democracy. \n\nWhile the current Turkish government has drifted back near a religious monarchy, the traditional military intervention was pre-emptively deconstructed as Recep Erdogan had jailed many commanders, generals, and officials that would have been the voices of revolt. As the military had become the arm of the MoH in Turkey, the newly emerging Sultanate is establishing a more nepotistic neo-Ottoman empire. While Erdogan seemingly has mastered the Byzantine General\u2019s problem by simply \u201cjailing all the generals\u201d, in dismantling the MoH he has effectively created a \u201cWild West\u201d scenario. While there is a semblance of a unified government during the times of the Wild West, the furthest and most rural reaches of what is supposed to have government oversight has no oversight because the government doesn\u2019t have the capacity to effectively monitor or secure the land. \n\nOne of the nuances of the Wild West is that the most powerful force dominates, and in that regard fairness and humanitarianism go out the window. There are no penalties for nepotism within government, and there are no real penalties for breaking laws in areas that the government can\u2019t reach. This is where the world of digital currency has its common traits with actual human history. As digital currency is essentially a digital wild west, having regulators enforce laws in areas that they are not familiar is not only difficult, it becomes questionable if the old laws even apply in the newly charted territories. \n\nAs governments struggle to understand digital currencies and their implications, the world of digital currency is \u201ctaxed\u201d but seemingly unprotected. The individuals who choose to participate in effect have to arm and protect themselves from attackers knowing that they will get no real assistance from the government that is taking taxes. In effect this wild west scenario breeds vigilantism and necessity for collective response to malicious actors. With the recent attack to the DAO, one of the counter-measures was to attack the original attacker; effectively this stayed inline with the MoH that was created within the Ethereum/Solidity/DAO protocol. \n\nA counter-attack against the DAO attacker #1 successfully secured $7 million in funds from the original $60 million. As the community scrambled to understand the implications of what had occurred, different approaches to solving the overarching problem were being attempted and theorized. One of the challenges facing the community was to decide whether to recognize the original MoH (soft fork and attack attacker #1), or destroy MoH and establish new rules (hard fork and have new genesis block). The Byzantine General\u2019s problem has already been failed by the coders of Ethereum and the founders of the DAO in this scenario. The real issue was whether to recognize the MoH or to let the empire crumble completely and free up the locked capital to re-enter into the free market. \n\nThe DAO crisis has not yet come to an end as of the writing of this paper, and updates will be made to reflect the long term outcomes of that scenario. It is impossible to predict the outcome of any set of variables, however it is a responsibility of those who control capital to make effective and efficient use of the capital. This requires being informed about the history of capital, and how politics, war, science, art, literature, education, humanitarianism and countless other variables affect capital. It is an imperfect science that by proxy the practitioners must continue to strive towards an unachievable perfection. If decentralization is to properly be applied in a global economy, the application must be not only informed, but agile and able to evolve. Reaching a state of stasis is contradictory to the natural imperative of evolution. In effect, survival is a matter of constantly evolving whether in the context of nature or in the context of commercial industries. \n\nInstitutional memory becomes an imperative when it comes to keeping a unified organizational evolution moving. An example of institutional memory would be \u201cCongress\u201d or the \u201cSupreme Court\u201d in the United States government. The idea was that instead of having agnostic principles that were to have authority over a specific set of rules or actions, democracy would be applied to congress to decide a group of elected officials that would attempt to balance the desires of the people against the knowledge of the institutional memory of congress. \n\nIn the case of the Supreme Court, the idea is that a group of officials that are appointed by an elected official to represent balanced views of the country will also retain the institutional memory necessary to make informed decisions about establishing new rules and laws. In this context, having institutional memory reduces the necessity of retreading debates and theoretically is an attempt to move debate forward with the knowledge of everything that has occurred previously. \n\nWhen DAO theory was emerging, the concept of Digital Leadership had not quite been articulated, and the theoretical foundation of the DAO was ultimately rooted in a MoH that created a leaderless system where organizations were to function based around goals and objectives that were agreed upon, rather than the decision of a specific individual or group. Many attempts at creating DAOs have been attempted, with the recent Slockit DAO being the largest on record. While the Slockit DAO was the largest, the success of the project is debatable depending on what metric of \u201csuccess\u201d is being discussed.\n\nBitshares token could be considered one of the more successful DAO projects that utilizes a combination of Proof of Stake security with colored coin protocol to allow organizations to receive the benefits of decentralized security, and the benefits of having a centralized currency and platform. The ability for colored coins to be easily converted within the UI for bitshares makes access to any asset listed on the market equal. The result is that organizations have incentive to create their own representative asset knowing that there is a centralized platform that makes exchange for other assets easy and cost effective. \n\nBeyond remittance payments, organizational control of capital becomes a new opportunity for capital to become more efficiently used in the context of the global economy. Removing the resistance for capital to flow means that it can go from the least needed to the most needed areas, and in the process generate new capital rather than stagnate against inflation. In the context of thermos-economics, resting capital can be seen as \u201cpotential energy\u201d, and capital that is being used is \u201ckinetic energy\u201d. If the global economic machine is to accelerate, it needs to convert the potential energy into kinetic energy as efficiently as possible. \n\nEfficiency with capital should be agnostic in the global economy. This is where a new paradigm of \u201cDecentralized Conglomerates\u201d apply thermos-economic theory in attempt to create an economic \u201cDynamo\u201d that makes most effective use of balancing potential and kinetic energy. If a \u201creserve fund\u201d is seen as a \u201cbattery\u201d that turns kinetic energy into potential energy for storage, then creating a dynamo that has the correct number of \u201cbatteries\u201d stored away to power the dynamo during phases in which the machine is not transforming any potential energy into kinetic becomes an agnostic principle that pays no regard to political party, religious affiliation, or special interest group. \nWhile this ideal state may seem unattainable, it is clear that attempting to achieve these goals will require a transitional period. During this transition, digital leadership must be employed to ensure that the capital does not go to waste. The DAO debacle shows the possibility that complete absence of Digital Leadership can result in a complete waste of potential energy with no resulting kinetic energy in the dynamo. It may be possible that a completely leaderless system is not desirable. Regardless, the DC makes an attempt at striking a balance between applying digital leadership and giving autonomy to special interest groups within the DC. The team at OpenLedger believes the Decentralized Conglomerate can be the economic engine that helps pilot the globe into the paradigm of the future. \n \nReferences\n\nDigital Leadership Definition - http://searchcio.techtarget.com/definition/digital-leadership?utm_medium=EM&asrc=EM_NLN_57771210&utm_campaign=20160524_Word%20of%20the%20Day:%20digital%20leadership_kherbert&utm_source=NLN&track=NL-1823&ad=907917&src=907917\n\nFuture of Crowdfunding in Belgium-\nhttps://bolero-crowdfunding.be/nl/news-events/news/financial-crowdfunding\n\nDigixDAO:\nhttp://allcoinsnews.com/2016/02/23/new-gold-linked-digital-token-platform-reveals-crowdsale-website-for-decentralized-organization\n\nConglomerate Definition:\nhttp://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/conglomerate.asp\n\nConglomerate Discount Problem:\nhttp://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/conglomeratediscount.asp\n\nAre Conglomerates Making a Comeback:\nhttp://www.omaha.com/money/are-conglomerates-making-a-comeback-berkshire-hathaway-s-business-model/article_a98b99a2-acca-5a89-9108-470d46a3fca8.html\n\nBlockchain startups make up 20% of largest crowdfunding projects\n\nhttp://venturebeat.com/2016/05/15/blockchain-startups-make-up-20-of-largest-crowdfunding-projects/\n\nThe DAO Way: Democratic Investment Fund:\n\nhttp://www.coinfox.info/news/reviews/5589-put-dao-demokraticheskij-investitsionnyj-fond-2\n\nThe DAO Block Explorer (The DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization established April 2016 that invests in other businesses.

Today I experimented with color changing filament (PLA); it changes its color to blue at low temperatures.
\n
The idea was to make some pendants using only white color PLA filament. I had two ideas on how I could incorporate some colors.
\n
First was to add pieces of drawing pastel between to pieces of whatever I made with the 3D pen. I made a square, a triangle and a heart shape.
\n

\n
Notice the lines in the square.Those will unite after placing them in the oven

\n
After I cut pieces of pastel and placed them on top of the square, triangle and heart I covered them with their twin piece and placed them in the oven for about 10 minutes. The heat helps smooth the surface and join each two identical pieces.
\n
Now I just have to figure out how to make a small in each of them to add them to a chain.

\n
Watch the video to see how they changed color after I put them in ice cold water.
\n

\n
\n
The second thing that I have tried was adding drawing ink to the 3d pen objects. I added ink on top of the objects. My theory was that the ink will infiltrate the shapes, but this didn't happen. The only thing that worked was to add the ink between two identical objects and place them in the oven to join them.
\n
I think that the ones with the pastel turned out better.What do you think?

Today I experimented with color changing filament (PLA); it changes its color to blue at low temperatures.
\n
The idea was to make some pendants using only white color PLA filament. I had two ideas on how I could incorporate some colors.
\n
First was to add pieces of drawing pastel between to pieces of whatever I made with the 3D pen. I made a square, a triangle and a heart shape.
\n

\n
Notice the lines in the square.Those will unite after placing them in the oven

\n

\n
After I cut pieces of pastel and placed them on top of the square, triangle and heart I covered them with their twin piece and placed them in the oven for about 10 minutes. The heat helps smooth the surface and join each two identical pieces.
\n
Now I just have to figure out how to make a small in each of them to add them to a chain.

\n
Watch the video to see how they changed color after I put them in ice cold water.
\n

\n
\n
The second thing that I have tried was adding drawing ink to the 3d pen objects. I added ink on top of the objects. My theory was that the ink will infiltrate the shapes, but this didn't happen. The only thing that worked was to add the ink between two identical objects and place them in the oven to join them.
\n
I think that the ones with the pastel turned out better.What do you think?
\n\n### Zendoodles are fun and relaxing to make and does not take much time or skill. I like drawing them while listening to lectures to help my brain process information easier. I made this one with markers and gel pens. I hope you like it :)",

+ "body": "#### There was a lot of students, more than 200 and mostly girls. They are all western, privileged straight A students just out of highschool. Most of them chose psychology because it is the most intriguing subject that is still sensible and useful to society. \n\nhttps://i.imgsafe.org/c75a36832c.jpg\n\n#### How many of us will make it? Only time can tell. The first ones to fall will be those who just realized that psychology is not at all what they thought it was. Soon those who can't read english will disappear. (The books and tests are in english) Then the undisciplined and lazy ones will be gone and last to fall will be the scared and the doubtful. I can already see it in their eyes, I'm one of them. Somehow I always pull through. What I lack in confidence I make up for in the ability to push myself. \nhttps://i.imgsafe.org/c75a75be50.jpg\n\n#### We have to pass 6 out of nine multiple choice test to be allowed to take the exam. On the exam we have to answer 6 out of seven questions in 6 hours. Two of them will be about the history of psychology. \n\n#### The curriculum consist of one giant brick of a book with 900 pages. We have to read it all and remember everything. Then there is one history book, it is not so big and not as important. There is also a number of articles. I assume that I will have to spend at least 3 hours a day with my psychology studies to get a good grade. I can do this!\n\nhttps://i.imgsafe.org/c71a9983e3.jpg\n### The main book Thankfully it has a lot of good illustrations and pictures in it and it is very organised and well written. \nhttps://i.imgsafe.org/c71cf8d3d8.jpg\n\n### The history book is in Norwegian, which makes it a bit easier. \nhttps://i.imgsafe.org/c72195f224.jpg\n\n#### Before the lecture I took some time to make a healthy breakfast, Avocadoes and Tomatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper balsamic and some bread. It served me well today. \nhttps://i.imgsafe.org/c717cebc5f.jpg\n\n#### The road from the subway to the psychological institute is a beautiful walk through a field with a great view of the sunny sky. It made me feel optimistic and calm.\nhttps://i.imgsafe.org/c75a1aed08.jpg\n\n### The institute is located by a psychiatrical hospital, on the outskirts of campus. \nhttps://i.imgsafe.org/c75a2edf50.jpg\n\n### We have well known and highly competent psychology professors in the lectures. The one we we had today was this guy: \nhttp://www.sv.uio.no/psi/personer/vit/rolfreb/rolfreb.jpg \n#### Rolf Reber from Germany. He is a professor in cognitive psychology and have also written some articles about emotions and aesthetics according to the university website. He was funny and interesting to listen to. He talked about the usefulness of psychology and the scientific methods. He also gave us a lot of practical information and talked about interesting psychological phenomenons like how astrology can trick us into reading our horoscope and many other exiting things.\n\n### My \u201cnotes\u201d \n\nhttps://i.imgsafe.org/c727fedbe4.jpg\nhttps://i.imgsafe.org/c725451d1c.jpg\n\n#### I also talked to a few of the students I sat next too. One girl had finally gotten into the profession studies to become an actual working psychologist after 3 years of hard work to get high enough grades. You need to have A in all exams to get into psychology profession studies. Thankfully the pressure is not as high for a useless philosophy student.\n\n### I hope you enjoyed taking a look inside the life of a university student. I will keep posting about my life at Uni. so follow me if you find it interesting.",

Hello Steemit friends,
\n
I have missed you even though I have intentionally been avoiding being connected for parts of the summer. No matter how much I like and enjoy all the internet has to offer I often find myself getting a little too wrapped up in it and need a break sometimes. Really its me not you...
So it is still summer where I live but already does not feel like it. Alberta is mean like that... you think its still hot and then all of a sudden its fall when it should still be summer. I always hope to get to the end of August before feeling cooler nights but that is always high hopes. My summer easy goingness is slowly floating away as I pull out my knitted sweaters. This is the time of year I try to run back to the mountains one more time, I call it chasing summer. There is a place called the Shushwaps in BC and when it is chilly here, you might still get one more really hot weekend there.
\n
I have been a bit MIA on Steemit since I first started and got excited about it but this is why: I have been having an amazing summer! I actually have so many things to tell you guys about. So all adventures this year have been road trips and they all have landed me in places with some to no cellphone reception which as I said before it really feels amazing to disconnect but now it is time to share!
Earlier this summer in July me and my boyfriend packed up my little car last minute and went to a place called Lussier Hot Springs, if you have not been here before it is amazing. There are three pools of hot water coming out of the mountain rocks. So the top pool being the hottest, flowing down into the second pool, then the bottom pool which is right by a river is the coolest. And yes! there is also a river! Mountains, trees, hot springs and a fresh cool river. I don't have my own picture of this, bringing my phone was too risky to me but I did find this one online to show you kind of what it looks like:
Camping there is also amazing if you ever get the chance, there are two lakes up the road from the hot springs, here is a picture of the sunset right form our camp spot in the trees. It is a must go spot. Also the sunset that night was absolutely insane, I can't belive how bright that red/pink light is.
Another really amazing thing that we have been doing this summer is finding spring water. Between the two lakes running down the mountain side was the best natural spring water I have ever had. Actually as soon as I drank some I felt like I had super powers. If you have access to water like this I definitely recommend it. There is a great website called findaspring.com and you can find your location and see if people have posted any in your area. So really for days straight we just drank spring water and went in the natural hot springs. The trip was cheap but that is a version of luxury to me!
Our second adventure was to a festival called Shambhala, it is in Salmo BC, Canada. If you have never been it is quite the experience and worth the trip (pun intended). We were there four nights, getting there on a Thursday just before everything started on the Friday. Shambhala is an electronic music festival and features some really amazing DJ's. My favourite part about this whole festival is how beautiful the land is, there are so many trees and a river you can swim in, you are free to just roam and be free in the woods. Besides music there are speakers, classes, art... so much art. If you need some inspiration this place is magical. It holds space for people to really be themselves and explore. Through the forest everything is lit up with lamps, tree lights, it is like your in a magical forest. I only went for the first time in 2015, and when we got in at night and walked into where all the stages were it was like I was on another planet. It was just magic and its the only way I can describe it. Next year is the 20th anniversary and if you want more information on the festival here is the link - http://www.shambhalamusicfestival.com/about/
I am hoping I have more interesting things to talk about more soon. I am planning a year of work and travel. The first part however I need a bit more secure is the work. Freelance photography is a tough gig sometimes! I will also bring my professional camera and take much better images :) everything in this post was my iphone since I didn't want to take my camera with me on that trip (however iphone photography is really fun!).

I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer and I am glad to be posting again. Please follow if you like my stuff and I look forward much more Steemit time with you all!
I have been doing so much driving in BC Canada this summer I had to share this once for the contest. I almost died when I didn't have my professional camera on me for this, its just too beautiful.
This photo was taken with my iphone 6, the clouds were legit that colour at sunset. It was absolutely amazing. If you have the change to visit Lussier hot springs in BC Canada do it. This is the lake just up the road where you can camp and there is another lake just five minutes further called White Swan Lake. The drive here is a bit dangerous, up a mountain cliff with a skinny road and no side rails...but besides that its magical! This was my camp view no joke... travelling for cheap and still in paradise. :)
I love this place. I was just in the mountains this week and visiting BC is my favourite. I didn't have my regular camera with me but managed to capture these guys in this beautiful lush forest with my iphone, I added a little effects in photoshop and done.
\n
I hope you enjoy. :) Good luck everyone on this weeks challenge!
Sometimes I ask myself, why did I choose this? What in my life brought me to this place where capturing images is my profession. Even though I have struggled so much why do I still love it?\u00a0
\n
Photography is something I can't live without. The ability to capture and create is thrilling! I love shooting, editing the images, connecting with people... I could go on and on. I actually sometimes think I like the people part of it more then all the technical photography mumbo jumbo, I just see the camera as a way to connect.\u00a0
\n
I am specifically drawn to people, if you look at any of my posts that is what I do for the most part. There is a magic in capturing someone, and in a way they may not see themselves. I specialize somewhere in the lifestyle, fashion, boudoir, portrait area...sometimes I am not sure exactly what to call it. My subjects are not professional models and nothing I have made has been for a commercial company. Not saying I would not love to do that but my focus is on your every day person. My goal is to create a concept, mood or theme and produce images where my client looks stunning while getting the vision and purpose for the shoot across. \u00a0Simple enough right? ...
I had this awesome client (above), we called this her Beyonce shoot. She is in her 40's, she's a mom and said at this point in her life she feels fierce and she wants to express that. \u00a0It can be scary putting yourself out like this, getting your hair and makeup done, getting in front of the camera and then trusting that no matter how goofy you are feeling I am directing you properly. But she did it! When the shoot was done, and she had not even seen any pictures yet she went on and on about how empowered she felt and how excited she was that she did the session. Just the session itself and how she felt after was already worth it. It is like putting on a costume you have always wanted to wear for a day, or dress like and act out some kind of part of your personality that in your day to day life you may not be able to show. When she saw her images she was so excited and wanted to share them everywhere and talk about her experience! \u00a0(permission granted :) I never post things without consent).\u00a0
I believe in making people feel beautiful, and finding beauty. As a photographer I think my job is to find beauty in everyone, the things no one sees or may not be looking at. How that light is touching someones cheek, or how their lips are slightly open and pouty and it looks perfect. What is the part of them that is amazing?\u00a0
\n
"Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick." - Gwyneth Paltrow
\n
For anyone who struggles in a profession you love I hear you. I battle with more then just trying to get my business going, what gear to use, what are popular photographers doing, etc. I am always trying to figure out why I am doing this and what value do I want to bring to people. At the end of the day it really does have to mean something to me at my very core, its like I want the people I shoot to understand that as well. I just want to make them feel really amazing and in a selfish way it makes me feel amazing too.\u00a0
\n
There is beauty in everyone, please just take a second to look.

I am a portrait photographer from Edmonton, AB, Canada. This is my work :) You can check me out on facebook.com/kristylynnphotos or instagram.com/imkristylynn.\u00a0
Ok I have to say I just couldn't help myself and I hope this brought a chuckle. Was this actually intended? I figured the Steemit waves were steam right?\u00a0
\n
\u00a0I was reading @the-aliens post - https://steemit.com/whales/@the-alien/whales-from-a-strictly-extraterrestrial-point-of-view (awesome post btw) and when I saw the whale image at the top this idea just shot into my head.\u00a0
\n
\u00a0All this talk about Steemit whales and now all I can see it whales!\u00a0
Being here for a week now I have learned a lot. I've learned more about crypto, other people, new ideas and I'm not going to lie I'm a bit addicted. Im just happy there is something that exists for content creators where you can share and speak about whatever you want. You can be unfiltered and not worried about "controversial content" because it will make someone else mad or "what if my following doesn't like this" or "is this appropriate for my personal brand". I am not saying don't focus on something specific if that's what you want to do, but for once I want the rules to be thrown out the window and be in a place where you can speak freely.\u00a0I feel bogged down by posts like "how to get more likes" "how to get more followers" "how to attract people to your whatever". Sure there is some skill in creating attention grabbing content but as soon as I begin to think about that I feel like the flow is turned off, like the tap into my thoughts and what I want to say is clogged full of doubt.\u00a0
\nI don't want to only talk about photos because I am a photographer or only post pictures because that is what I am good at. I want to learn and try different things. You know what I am not good at? this! Writing and expressing my thoughts is scary for me! I have barely even written in a journal, my website blog is images and I write as little as I can. Honestly because it is something I have never done and I don't even know if I am good at it! I am also constantly afraid to write the wrong thing or not be able to properly express myself. The idea of blogging and not feeling like I have to fit into a certain niche or impress a specific audience to be popular is thrilling. I am not worried about censoring myself or my experience, I want to read about others with an open mind while they also speak freely, create and share ideas. Some will be liked my the masses and some won't and thats okay.\u00a0\u00a0
\n
\nMaybe I am out to lunch but if there is something I want Steemit to be I would like it to be is a place that feels like freedom. Freedom of opinions without consequences, and I'm not talking here about being a terrible person or posting awful hateful things. But if your mad let hear why, if you think this certain thing is the best thing ever then say why. I would love a place where I can read about people. On a level though that isn't covered by what you think you should do or what you think will be popular. I think sharing yourself has value. Who are you? What do you do? What knowledge do you have?\u00a0\u00a0
\nWe are so used to being told no, or do it this way. How jealous do people get being on things like Instagram and you have 150 followers and how does that person have 25000. They must be so cool or have something I don't or whatever your thinking and then you feel bad about what you are doing or you just stop creating all together because you only got one thumbs up. Everything popular on there is all starting to look the same. Its a strange time and place we are in, but I think with something like Steemit we have more control over shaping what we want and creating support, or at least I hope so. I don't want the Kim Kardashians of the world to be top trending on here because they got butt lifts, or Buzzfeed telling me the top things guys like in girls, or and endless sea of memes. Make something yourself, speak about you, you are more interesting then all of that.\u00a0Im excited about where this can go lets be excited together. (Below I am trying to show a happy dance ;))
\nLike what you like, feel how you feel and speak about what really makes you tick. Art, money, technology... the sunset, the last book you read. Heck! We can learn so much from each others stories while supporting the things we really connect to. What is better then that? At the moment I am not sure. I hope you enjoyed reading and if you got this far I'd love to hear what you think.\u00a0\u00a0
The first challenge is animals! No!!! That's one of the only things I really don't take photos of, well that and babies. However I guess it is good to snap some pictures of things you wouldn't normally. This may not be the most adventurous and original animal to photograph but I did interrupted my cats sweet and lazy life to get her to be my model. So in saying that here is my submission! \n(40mm f4 Canon 6D with a bit of Lightroom edit)
I have to say it was fun, but what made me laugh most like the crazy cat lady I am was the pictures that didn't work. So I figured I would share some of those as well just for fun.
By the way her name is Mika, I guess I should introduce her and not just call her cat. After all she did have a very important role and deserves some credit. Yah know I've always told her to get a job to help pay rent so I feel like this was just a long time coming and being a model isn't the worst gig.
I look forward to the next photo challenge. This was fun and a great way to get people involved and posting. What are you thinking next?! Please just don't say babies.

\n\nMy name is Inga. I am a Latvian at heart, adventure lover, 10+years yogi, licensed stock broker, photographer, traveler, pescaterian, chess playing sapiosexual, great friend and true believer in doing good for others. My glass is always half full, sometimes it has kambucha sometimes tequila. \n\nI was born in LATVIA, Small country by the Baltic sea. Came to America 14 years and since then I have lived in California, Colorado, Virginia and now call beautiful Salt Lake City Utah my home.\n\n@mranderson introduced me to Steemit, my first gig was the translation for the app in Latvian. https://steemit.com/writing/@kencode/do-you-know-a-foreign-language-crowdvoting\n\nMy first post is introduction to baby girl Zariah and her family, I have been brewing it for few weeks since I took portraits of the little girl who is on life support and shows well what a \"Fighter\" means since her birth. I believe Steemit community is ready to combine its steampower and help her! Please UPVOTE, SHARE and Help me to Help Zariah!\n\nhttps://steemit.com/votefunding/@steemit-inga/my-name-is-inga-and-steemers-please-multiply-community-healing-power-and-help-this-amazing-little-fighter",

+ "body": "Time is precious. Many would argue time is the most valued thing of all, comparing it to having wealth, power or attention. Most things in life come and go, but time only goes in one direction and that's forward. Time to a person can feel long, boring, and empty but when you finally find the thing you have been looking for, time seems to change for the opposite. \nIt was time it cost to find the love of my life, but when I did, it felt like it had all been worth it. While the time after felt so much more valuable, it also taught me how unforgiving time can be, and how one small misstep kept me locked in time forever, in my own body.\n\n*Two seconds of my life determined the future of my existence.*\n\nIt was on a rainy day when i was driving my motorcycle on my way to my girlfriend when that one driver decided it was more important to catch Pikachu instead of looking at the road. I can still imagine my feeling when my peripheral vision noticed the car and the panic that ensued in seconds. Unfortunately there was nothing to be done at that point anymore, all I could do was turn my head, face the driver and see him drive into me while he raised his head from his smartphone. The last second I still remember is flying in the air and the world around me was spinning.\n\nAfter having experienced almost every dream and nightmare I could imagine existed, this one felt really weird. I remembered this room I was in, although it felt like I had been there ages ago. It had a familiar scent that I really liked... just as it felt like I was remembering where it was from, I heard someone else approaching from the doorway;\n\"Hey Billy...\"\nI recognized her voice instantly, just as I turned my head to greet her I felt someones hand pushing my face the other way.\n\nThis feeling felt new to me, not just someone pushing my head but me actually feeling it. All the dreams and nightmares, I hadn't felt anything in so long. The whole sensation was strange to me, I was wondering if I had started to lucid dream but then it happened. The feeling came back, stronger than ever. Cold and wet. There were so many different emotions going through me I didn't know how to handle it, I wanted to know what it was. \nThen I opened my eyes.\n\nIt felt like one of those days you have been oversleeping, your body isn't tired anymore, you couldn't sleep longer if your life depended on it. That feeling times a hundreds. \nI kept blinking, adjusting my vision but everything was really, really blurry. I couldn't tell where I was or what was happening, then I heard a voice say:\n\"Oh gosh, I wonder if this is a fake alarm again...\" as she stepped on over to the door and left.\nThe feeling slowly vanished but my eyes were still open, I lay notice to the only thing making a sound in the room, it was my breathing. I tried to turn my head but I couldn't. My mind started racing;\n\"Where am I?\",\n\"Who was that woman?\",\n\"Why can't I move?\"\nBefore I could come up with more the door opened again and I could see something coming closer.\n\"I brought some towels to get you all dried up again, here we go, let's start with your face... Oh my god, you are awake!\"\nI couldn't even turn my eyes to the side to see her but I blinked more frequently so she would notice.\n\"Ohh, this is excellent, let me get the doctor, I'll be back in two *steems*...\" she said as she stormed off again.\n\nI lay there, still a thousand of questions flowing through my mind. \"What was that she said at the end?\"\nThe door opens and a man comes in and stands by the foot of the bed, tells me that they have been waiting for a long time for this day to come. He did a few tests on how my eyes were moving and said he would call a physician to get me to 'work' on regaining my strength. He would also notify my relatives to come see me tomorrow and that I should be up and running in about a week. \"Welcome back\" he added at the end before he left the room.\n\nI started to realize I must've been in a coma for some time now. The accident came back to me and I started thinking of her, how much time might have passed, how she is and what she could be doing nowadays.\n\nBefore I could think much further another man came in and started injecting me with needles and said \"this will give you some power back, try and move your head and neck after a minute\". I guessed he was the physician that was supposed to help me get in shape again. \n\nI started moving my neck and hands, it all started working so quickly again. He helped me sit up on a wheel-chair and said he would take me out for a stroll, since I hadn't gotten fresh air in some time.\nIt was sunny outside, it felt like spring had just arrived and the park had started to become colorful, the air I breathed in felt really fresh. We stopped at a park chair and he sat down next to me and said: \"I'd be happy to answer any questions that might be on your head now, could you try and test if your voice is back after not having used it for ten years?\"\n\n\"Yes\" I replied, surprised I could use my voice, I muttered \"10 years? Its the year 2027?\"\n-\"oh yeah, thought you knew that already. I'm sorry, yes its been 10 years since you went into a coma. Let me tell you a lot has changed since then.\" he said with a smile showing.\n\"what's the biggest change in the last 10 years?\"\n-\"oh, not a lot of coma patients form the question that way, that's a good one! Hmm let's see...\" he said as he put his hand to his jaw in a thoughtful manner. \"Well, i'd say the new digital era of AI lifeforms and the decentralization of value and the internet of things, I would say.\"\n\nThis instantly reminded me of my hobby with cryptocurrencies I had, and so many questions about that came to my head and I wanted answers to all of them. I was surprised to automatically asking this one:\n\"Who is the president of the United States?\"\n-\"Who? Haha, the current president is actually an AI robot, people don't really qualify for those important positions anymore.\"\n\"Did block-chain technology change the world?\" I said in a hurry almost interrupting him.\nHe noticed how eager I was to get an answer to that, so he leaned closer in on me and said. \"Yes, they did. Big time, the whole revolution was based around them, why, were you into crypto-coins before your accident?\" he added.\n\"Yeah, I checked them out from time to time. Which one become the most popular one?\" I asked, not sure if I was driving the discussion too much into one category.\n-\"Oh I'd say one of the biggest ones was Steem and how it brought everyone into the awesome technology that was too early for its time, other than that, Ethereum has decentralized and established most of the business world and how API's and AI bots operate.\"\n\nOn our way back I asked him if it was possible for me to use a laptop when in the room, to catch up on the stuff I have missed out on. He laughed and added that that's a pretty normal request for someone who had been sleeping for a decade. I was now back on my bed and he brought me a laptop. It had been only an hour since I had been awake but I had to go check out my old Steemit account and if I could still remember the password.\n\nThe moment I hit enter, and it directed me to my own page, my heart stopped for a moment when I glanced at the \"estimated value: $4,588,853,314.88\" It took me several seconds to count all the digits and my eyes were wide open, I quickly looked behind me and noticed he noticed too, but pretended he wasn't looking at the screen.\n\nAs I was putting the laptop to the side, I was trying to think of an excuse to have him leave the room for a moment so i could have some time to take all of what just had happened in, but as soon as I turned my head to ask him I felt something really hard hit me on the side of my head. I returned to the darkness again.\n\n\n**Hey everyone, thanks for reading those who did, I want to try my hand at some sci-fi writing and have a lot of crazy ideas in my head that I want to put down to words and into a hopefully entertaining sci-fi series. I hope my english didn't wasn't that hard to read, its my third language. Criticism is welcomed and questions about the plot or what's going to happen would be fun to read!**\n\nAlso for anyone that wants to add pictures to this sci-fi from #descriptionsonthespot or has some good ideas for which ones to choose, feel free to say so in the comments!\n\nhttp://imgur.com/dBXOswi.jpg",

If you have an interesting world to wake up to, then there are probably more interesting ways to show how the world has changed than just having a character *describe* it. So, for example, the importance of AI bots could be hinted at by the character being nursed by an AI bot, and getting confused about what's happening. \n\nI'm looking forward to seeing where this goes in the future.",
