Kurzweil: ‘Human Hybrids by 2030’ - Uncommon Wisdom Daily: "After all … he who controls thought, controls the world."

'via Blog this'

Parley with us a while. Ray Kurzweil was pointed out to us six years ago by Pribek dot nation. There is no such thing as a prophet some might say, and others would point to Kurzweil, Futurist. I am convinced and for good reason, that Ray Kurzweil wields that honor today of prophet, especially in AI, Artificial Intelligence.

Think about it. We are saving bits of data that are essentially repugnant doody parts of conversations from faecesBook, comments on forked-tongue articles, and immeasurable other social networking cacophony. But there is a limit to amount of data that can be transmitted over a fiber optic cable. Yes there is, a limit up to four terabytes of data per second, after which there is dissonance on the line.

We are reaching our limits in communications. Think of a Berkeley professor who teaches communications today. Yes a liberal college, but does he teach anything other than ethics? What if there comes a time when every person on earth, all 7 billion, at one time all have the same thought, have the same song on our lips, all like the same color? It would be the hour of obliteration.

"... According to genius inventor and noted futurist Ray Kurzweil, in just 15 years humans will meld with computers ... “Our thinking then will be a hybrid of biological and non-biological thinking,” said Kurzweil. (June 5, 2015, Brad Hoppmann. LINK) ..."

With limitations of technology, mind melding with nanobots as Kurzweil describes it, will only lead to a stopping point, a brick wall. But someone will figure a way around that too. However, if you want to continue marching to the beats of different drummers in your own life, then you better steer clear of hybridizing technologies. Otherwise you could become rather uncomfortable non-participant in the hive of a New World Order.

Kurzweil has 7 books that are now on my To Read List:

• The Age of Intelligent Machines, was published in 1990
• book on nutrition called The 10% Solution for a Healthy Life, 1993
• 1999, Kurzweil published The Age of Spiritual Machines, 
• 2004, returned to human health and nutrition. Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever
• The Singularity Is Near, published in 2005,
• Kurzweil's latest book, How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed, was released on Nov. 13, 2012.
• Kurzweil is also writing a novel called Danielle,

"Scruffy has to go outside, Junior..."
Martial Mashed Article by Pat Darnell  |  Mar 17, 2015  |  Bryan TX

Test for whether one is a bonafide writer or not ... "How many times do you have to look up the difference between 'affect' and 'effect?'"

There are two kinds of people, those who let their pets poop all over, and those who let their pets poop all over but never mention it. I have been both kinds. Unfortunately, our pets' pooping all over affects our long-standing watersheds. See article below.

Are Americans ready to 'effect' martial law on pets pooping all over? Ha! *[Let's see if I did that correctly]*  LINK -- I still can't figure it out.

As a young person I let our Pekingese-Cocker-Spaniel, Baby, poop all over the back yard and just avoided it as I mowed the yard. As a young adult I let our Border Collie poop all over his dog run. I couldn't organize my own wastage's, how could I affectingly manage our pup's waste?

Now after several scat sorties by this blog, I find I am still dilettante, and never will get it through my thick skull that the pets are pooping all over the place. Unfortunately, I have genetically passed on this shortsightedness to my children.

No Poop Fairy, so manage your pets' waste - National Green Living | Examiner.com: "The most effective way for pet owners to limit their pet’s contribution to source water contamination is to simply clean up and dispose of pet waste. As long as the droppings are not mixed with other materials, pet waste should be flushed down the toilet."

"...[I]n Northern Virginia, a dog population of 11,400 is estimated to contribute about 5,000 pounds of solid waste every day and has been identified as a major contributor of bacteria to the stream. Nearly 500 fecal coliform samples have been taken from Four Mile Run and its tributaries since 1990, and about 50 percent of these samples have exceeded the Virginia State water quality standard for fecal coliform bacteria, according to EPA..."

CONCLUSION
Food in; poop out.

MooPig Cosmology and Time Department :: Introducing "Civitas Humana..."

Time to get Serious?
Mixed Mashed Articles by Pat Darnell  |  Nov 9, 2014  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

Why do teachers, such as ministers, teach Metaphysics to people who can't even understand Physics? A teacher might say to a child, "Every time a bell rings an Angel gets her wings." Angels, bells, ... eh?

Time is quantifiable only if one cannot see the future nor recapture the past. We as humans see time as a axis in the dimensions of physics, stretching out linear. In nature there are living things that might be able to see past/present/future simultaneously. Not a far-fetched idea, but very basic to being human. Toying with timelines causes confusion.

What would be some of those life forms on earth that might see time differently? It is reported that lobsters never grow old, they live on and on. At least Al Sears, MD, said this:

"...They [lobsters] only die if they get eaten or injured from a predator, or get a rare disease, but never from old age. They don’t have a built-in life expectancy in their cells (Sears, Al. 01/2014. LINK)..."

And the Smithsonian claims:

"...So what would be a natural death for lobsters?
According to Carl Wilson, lead lobster biologist with the Maine Department of Marine Resources, between 10 and 15 percent of lobsters die naturally each year as they shed their exoskeletons because the exertion proves to be too much. Each molting process requires more and more energy than the one before it as lobsters grow in size (Marina Koren. JUNE 3, 2013. LINK)..."

Can't you just feel the welling up of a good molting, dear reader? In nature, live things change in shape and in form during their lifetimes. Our journey through time involves each of us changing from one form to another in almost supernatural ways. Can you explain to me the hollow ball of cells called a blastula in human reproduction. Eh?

I didn't think so.

Ah, heck discuss among yourself these too:  Fetus Morula Embryo Zygote Blastocyst Neonate... and put them in correct order according to time.

The part left out of the Books of Enoch, and other books of wisdom, includes explaining the life force of reproduction that is so dominate in all life forms... and probably explains a lot of the confusion about our cosmos too.

We tend to talk about what is observable. That makes sense. But we cannot, as previously noted, observe our past/present/future all at the same time. Here one blogger examines ...

Cosmology and Time in Metaphysical Naturalism | Civitas Humana: "For the next part of my series about the ‘metaphysics’ in metaphysical naturalism I will be analyzing how modern scientific theories about cosmology fit in to the naturalist worldview. Since I am not a professional scientist, I will be quoting authorities for all critical information. The purpose of this article is more philosophical than scientific, in that it does not seek to advance a particular scientific theory, but rather to demonstrate how modern cosmological theories align with the definition of metaphysical naturalism discussed earlier in this series (ADVERSUSAPOLOGETICA.
MAY 21, 2014. LINK)... "
'via Blog this'

"...The study of cosmology has a long history (see here), but since around the end of the 20th century scientists have reached a generally cohesive view of what our universe looks like. The observable universe that we live in is a sphere with a radius of about 46 billion lightyears. Beyond that the unobservable universe is much larger, and is still inflating rapidly. Within this observable part of the universe alone there are at least 100 billion galaxies (and possibly 500 billion galaxies in the whole universe), and, if modern observational estimates among astronomers are correct about there being 17 billion Earth-sized planets in our galaxy, then the rest of the universe no doubt contains many, many more (ibid. ADVERSUSAPOLOGETICA)..."

SUMMARY
Naturalism is a closed system, that can be observed in methodology, or not observable because of metaphysical [supernatural] causes. Scientific observation does not deal with "metaphysical" occurrence.

Stages of life are observable, but why they are observable depends on a time frame. Pat/Present/Future defines us and lobsters, and every living thing in the universe.

To experience supernatural stimuli, we humans must change from our current mental state of living in the ever-present linear time frame, to another form that can see past/present/future simultaneously. This could explain the reason for death.

MooPig :poop: Department :: "Earth as a Toilet"

Most Will Shy Away from this Discussion
Mashed Martial Articles by Pat Darnell  |  June 28, 2014  |  Bryan TX

"What is shocking in India is this picture [HERE] of someone practicing open defecation and in the other hand having a mobile phone," said Maria Neira, director of Public Health at the WHO.

We can only imagine what an Indian wedding is like. The dogged truth is that bears do shit in the woods. When you are surrounded by a world of shit, there is still wonderful things all around to look at -- or is there ...?

"... Paris lovers try not to notice the dog poop everywhere, but they have to be careful anyway. In my neighborhood, if you don't have your eyes riveted on the sidewalk as you walk, you will have a nasty surprise on your shoes when you get home. Hundreds of people a year wind up in the hospital after slipping in the dog poop ( LINK) ..."

And then, there are 14 places you can aspire to pee/poop, including the ISS, ski slopes, underwater, and others, according to this article:

"...13. The Ski-Jump Toilet
Japan’s Madarao-Kogen hotel is home to the simulated ski-jump toilet, offering maximum comfort without the harshness of winter: “The cubicles were fully wrapped on all sides, so that the person caught short would have a ski jumper’s view when they were sitting on the loo.” (LINK)..."

[Picture LINK]

This bit started with this article:

One Billion People Still Practise Open Defecation, Endangering Public Health: UN: "Tom Miles GENEVA, May 8 (Reuters) - One billion people worldwide still practise "open defecation" and they need to be told that this leads to the spread of fatal diseases, U.N. experts said on Thursday at the launch of a study on drinking water and sanitation. "'Excreta', 'faeces', 'poo', I could even say 'shit' maybe, this is the root cause of so many diseases," said Bruce Gordon, acting coordinator for sanitation and health at the World Health Organization."
'via Blog this

"... Many countries have made great progress in tackling open defecation, with Vietnam and Bangladesh - where more than one in three people relieved themselves in the open in 1990 - virtually stamping out the practice entirely by 2012."

"...India's government has now woken up to the need to change attitudes, he said, with a "Take the poo to the loo" campaign that aims to make open defecation unacceptable, helped by a catchy YouTube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_peUxE_BKcU  ."


CONCLUSION
Depend on MooPig to keep you informed. We will be monitoring all forms of excrement through out the world, and maybe make some charts up, and possibly mash a bunch of articles together to help you in your scatological pursuits. Remember -- we at MooPig will always be better than FOX News! Don't want to set the barre too high now.

EPILOGUE
Things we still want to know:

1. Has Bill Gates entered the stage where he locks himself in a Hotel room and doesn't bathe?
2. What became of the Westboro Baptist Church media whores?
3. Does Jose still work for Kennedy Underground Utilities Company? His job was to find water, no matter where he was.
4. If I put Erika Eleniak's picture on this post, will it become a number one in page-views post?
5. Why do networks pixel-ate out sponsors on UFC fighters' shorts and shirts when they show reruns of their fights?
6. Why does my foot shake when I type? Is that restless leg syndrome? I am, after all, almost 60.

UPDATE Honey Bee Down :: "Somebody is Monkeying Around"

Symbioticism, Commensalism, Mutualism, Parasitism, Oh My!
Perpetrated articles by Pat Darnell  |  Mar 14, 2014  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

MooPig is all about symbiosis, thus the pig in the bull, but can the pig live without the bull? Sure it can. Can the bull live without the pig? Yes. So the two groups do not harm each other.

Let's look at another symbiosis, can the human live without the bees? No. The honey bee is "matchmaker of crops and bringer of honey (Jennifer Frazer | January 31, 2014. LINK) ... "

So the larger group of bees can live without humans all right. This is not a symbiotic relationship. It is a relationship where one group benefits while the other is unaffected by that group. Bees pollinate flowers, fruit and nut trees, vegetables, and 90 in all foods, despite human intervention. Bees make honey regardless of human activity. Yes, we humans are almost a parasite to the honey bees, because someone has their arm in the honey comb.

How do we skip evolutionary steps? It is by diddling around with genetics, and by making splendorous insecticides, that's how. So, where does this take us? Where does it leave the honey bees?

"... [D]iseases that result from pathogen host shifts are a threat to the health of humans and their domesticates. RNA viruses have extremely high mutation rates and thus represent a significant source of these infectious diseases. In the present study, we showed that a plant-pathogenic RNA virus, tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV), could replicate and produce virions in honeybees, Apis mellifera, resulting in infections that were found throughout the entire body (Ji Lian Lia, R. Scott Cornmanb, Jay D. Evansb... 20 October 2013 Accepted 13 December 2013 Published 21 January 2014. LINK) ..."

Suspicious Virus Makes Rare Cross-Kingdom Leap From Plants to Honeybees | The Artful Amoeba, Scientific American Blog Network: "When HIV jumped from chimpanzees to humans sometime in the early 1900′s, it crossed a gulf spanning several million years of evolution. But tobacco ring-spot virus, scientists announced last week, has made a jump that defies credulity. It has crossed a yawning chasm ~1.6 billion years wide."
"... According to the authors of this study, this is the first evidence that honeybees can be infected by plant-virus contaminated pollen, but it might not have been the first or last. About 5% of plant viruses are pollen-borne. The genetic material of most? RNA.(ibid. Jennifer Frazer.)..."
'via Blog this'

CONCLUSION
" ... The evidence of systemic spread and propagation of a plant-pathogenic virus in honeybees raises awareness of the potential impact of new viral disease emergence on bee health. While findings from this study have important implications for understanding TRSV transmission and pathogenesis, much remains to be learned about the intracellular life cycle, species-level genetic variation, and pathogenesis of the virus in honeybee hosts. Although the cause(s) of CCD and the decline in the worldwide bee population is not yet fully understood ..., a growing body of evidence has indicated that parasites and pathogens are key culprits involved in widespread disappearance/death and population declines of honeybees (ibid. Ji Lian Lia. LINK) ..."

i.e., [that is to say; in fewer words] No Bees, No Humans!

While the U.S. Geological Survey recorded 22 magnitude-7 or larger earthquakes in 2010, almost all the fatalities were produced by one — the major quake that hit Haiti on Jan. 12.
In 2010, about 227,000 people were killed due to earthquakes, with over 222,570 from the magnitude-7.0 Haiti event, as reported by the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

According to official estimates, the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti injured 300,000 people, displaced 1.3 million, and left 97,294 houses destroyed and 188,383 damaged in Port-au-Prince and much of southern Haiti. This includes at least four people killed by a local tsunami in the Petit Paradis area near Léogâne. According to the USGS, this large, shallow earthquake produced violent shaking in Léogâne, west of Port-au-Prince. This shaking level can cause damage even to well-built buildings anywhere in the world. In Haiti, this high-intensity shaking together with both buildings vulnerable to earthquakes and high population exposure resulted in catastrophe.
