It is Important to Remember...

The other day I was feeling like nothing was happening, that I'm not getting anywhere, and there were few prospects. Then it occurred to me that I have done a lot of things and I shouldn't forget it. The spark that was is still there. I thought to write it down. And then I added a few more.

It is important to remember ...

All you have achieved.
What is not important.
What is important.
Your goals, and to form new ones.
Your friends; they are the shadows of your personality.
Your childhood; all you are is rooted there.
Your parents; their signature is a goodly part of you.

It is important to..

Enjoy living.
Exercise your mind and body.
Love much; hate not too much.
Help out, when you can.
Have favorite things.
Honor and appreciate your friends.
Forget grudges, even if you can't forgive them.
Drive on calmly, despite all the morons on the road.
Keep your tank full.
Listen to good music.
Know a few really good jokes.
Read a lot in wide venues.
Have a personal philosophy.
Have faith and beliefs; they form powerful mental capacities.
Enjoy, love, and respect your children - even like them.
Try new things.

Behavioral Science and Problem-Solving

I. I. Introduction. Concerning our general behavior, it’s high about time we all had some understanding of how we operate on ourselves, and it is just as important how we are operated on by others. This is the wheelhouse of behavioral sciences. It is a vast subject. It touches our lives constantly. It’s influence is pervasive and can be so subtle we never notice it. Behavioral sciences profoundly affect our ability and success at problem-solving, from the elementary level to highly complex wicked problems. This is discussed in Section IV. We begin with the basics of behavioral sciences, Section II, and then through the lens of multiple categories and examples, Section III. II. ...

Where is AI (Artificial Intelligence) Going?

How to view Artificial Intelligence (AI). Imagine you go to the store to buy a TV, but all they have are 1950s models, black and white, circular screens, picture rolls, and picture imperfect, no remote. You’d say no thanks. Back in the day, they sold wildly. The TV was a must-have for everyone with $250 to spend* (about $3000 today). Compared to where AI is today, this is more or less where TVs were 70 years ago. In only a few decades AI will be advanced beyond comprehension, just like TVs today are from the 50s viewpoint. Just like we could not imagine where the video concept was going back then, we cannot really imagine where AI is going. Buckle up. But it will be spectacular. *Back then minimum wage was $0.75/hr. Thus, a TV cost more than eight weeks' wages. -------------------------

Fake News

If you've been following the news the last couple of days, you will note the flurry of copy devoted to fake news. Both sides are blaming whatever has befallen them the consequence of fake news. Let's look at this phenomenon a bit. When I was a student years ago, a friend climbed some mountain in Peru. A article was written in the local newspaper about the event. In only three column inches, the newspaper made about six errors. An easy article to write you say? Just interview and reproduce. Yet so many errors? The question is this: was this fake news or bad reporting? The idea here is that fake news comes in various flavors. Bad reporting – errors made by the author or editor Opinion presented as news Deliberate creation of falsehoods to favor a point of view The reporting of selected truths to favor a particular point of view Now we have the big social media ...
