No one is perfect, because everyone has a wobble. Or two. When children are developing their minds, each with its own uniqueness and potential, they approach every new situation with confidence and uncertainty. They have some confidence they can try it and see if it’s something they like and want to do. They…… Continue reading Wobbled
For Better or Worse
Choices are at the heart of everything we experience, and each one can make things better or make things worse. It turns out that the most fundamental building block of life is an increment of beneficial change: for any organism, and for any society around the globe. Did a particular change make things better, or…… Continue reading For Better or Worse
Information flows faster than light
Information is physical. Information can flow in an energy medium such as in an optical fiber cable, or it can ride on this illuminated screen made of energetic materials, or it can ride on just matter too, like when you print this on paper. But it doesn’t have to, and I think it often…… Continue reading Information flows faster than light
I, not Robot
There have been exciting developments in Artificial Intelligence, AI. A Google software developer was having conversations with their Large Language model, an AI personality that he believed has the characteristics of a person. He thought so, because it’s showed a level of situational awareness, self-awareness, and emotions very much like what humans feel. The…… Continue reading I, not Robot
Grateful. For the Wrong Side of Tracks
When I’m in the checkout lane at the grocery store, or trying to get news online, it is inescapable to see celebrities, and that’s perfectly fine. I’d like to point out that a lot of folks really like certain celebrities. So we have rock stars of all kinds, including engineers on the leading edge of…… Continue reading Grateful. For the Wrong Side of Tracks
1+1=2. 2+2=4. True? Are you sure?
What is truth really? Does something have to be as straightforward and mathematical as 1+1 =2? Well, I used to think so, and in a specific way I do think so still. Yet I also know for sure that sometimes we definitely can’t be sure. Even that simple thing: 1+1= 2. How can it be…… Continue reading 1+1=2. 2+2=4. True? Are you sure?
Thought over Energy over Matter
Everybody’s done it. In ways large and small, and even microscopic, living entities of information do this: think, and then act to make or get that thing we want. Doesn’t work every time for me though, just like you. Sometimes our desires aren’t realized, but other times our little dream or even a big one…… Continue reading Thought over Energy over Matter
A Marriage Saved
In my research, I write about integrity factors and uncertainties because these components are part of decision-making in relationships. I use the word “relationships” to mean all kinds, not just romantic or marriage relationships. I even mean it in the way data analysts define relationships between tables of data. Communication happens between entities of information,…… Continue reading A Marriage Saved
Why are we here? Is it meaningless?
When a natural disaster strikes, and the realization that but for grace, you would be the dead one, or the homeless one, or the one who lost a family member, you have to wonder, do I matter? When Jim Carrey caught a mic at an event this week, he commented on how meaningless it all…… Continue reading Why are we here? Is it meaningless?
Love is Beneficial Change
Love is beneficial change. We appreciate, value and respect steadfast love: a commitment that demonstrates integrity. Yet flows of love are always in change, the communications and actions are dynamic inside the solid connection. Just as a river keeps to the banks yet is always is moving water downstream. Dynamic means responsive. It’s important to…… Continue reading Love is Beneficial Change
