Human and Machine


One objective of invention is to make a task more efficient or affective. One level of evolution, natural or otherwise, is the application of invention to all human tasks. In that respect machine will be made to complete most human tasks, if not all. So in the end the differences will be very small. I am not even sure we could claim that some organic matter that is part of us will not be part of them because if it is found that, for instance, an organic hand and its mechanisms play tennis better than a non-organic, well then there will be machines with organic hands perhaps in the very same likeness as ours. I suppose the differences will be things which we posses that are not essential for any given task, or things which they posses which we are not physically able to. Perhaps the only thing we will posses that they will not, with some certainty, is a soul. But we have yet to determine what of any real value this thing has anyway so it's neither here nor there.

On the essence of mind


J. R. Searle talked about human mind as a natural property of the human brain. I have been thinking if a system with a certain degree of complexity and flow of information through it would "cross the line" and became an intelligent bean. I have read some papers on complex networks and heard of something called "collective intelligence". All this seems to be linked. Is our mind a manifestation of the collective intelligence of a very complex (in fact, chaotic) population of neurons and organs? Could then it is simulated using A Life, complex network models, fractals...?

Debt consolidation advices

As I have written about a bit earlier this month, I am now really thinking seriously hard on checking a debt consolidation and have decided to research this issue a tad bit before diving head in, both by word of mouth and using the Internet as well, of course. I've found at mydebtconsolidationadvice.com that they advertise a free debt consolidation and you can apply directly online and have a “No Fax Payday Loan” at your disposal, for fast cash, for whatever reason. It is pretty well an one-stop research site with all kinds of options to choose, so it is easy to find the right fit for your financial issues. I think that I will test the waters with them and see what they have to say. I've spoken with several people that have taken this route of consolidate debt and had saved a good chunk of change, and they really appreciate having to only write out one check at the end of the month, instead of the many that take time and postage due. Low interest rates are out there for the choosing here. The loan modification is the process of changing one or more terms on a loan, often after a delinquency, to help homeowners keep their homes with more reasonable terms .My own credit card debt is not really all that compared with some of the numbers that I have heard come out of some people's mouth, but enough to be a burden and I would like to get it under control before it gets out of control.
