Beware of social media, and remember that everything you see is not true




Kimmo Huosionmaa

When we are talking about social media and the use of it as the propaganda platform, we must say that modern technology allows making very trustable propaganda in the very low budget. The open source rendering platforms allow to create the animated films, where are characters, what looks absolutely real. Those photorealistic characters are allowed to make the realistic propaganda animation, what cannot separate from real news film.


Also, the use of social media allows making profiles of the persons, what are meant to target for propaganda. That means the propagandists can make propaganda, what is more, attractive and influential for targeted persons than ever before.


Social media is the very good weapon in the hands of propaganda makers because that media can be used in targeted propaganda, what is meant for children of the leaders, who are working for police and military. And of course, also criminal organizations would use social media in their recruiting campaigns, what is targeted to younger members of police and military. In those campaigns, those organizations claim, that they are only victims of the system, and the law enforcement only takes them as the targets of the use of force. And of course, drugs and doping are all right in that propaganda.


But the way to look like social media is that would give the information of the things like actions in some elections. Here I must ask does anybody tell us about the electoral fraud of Russian elections, or would the world be quiet about this kind of things? Silence is the very good way to keep undemocratic forces in power. And social media is also brought many things in publicity, what has been kept in silence.


And when we are talking about censorship, we would not want that thing. Social media has brought the attitude problems of some officials to public knowledge. Also the thing, those undemocratic forces are found also in so-called paradigm democracies. And what we have learned by social media is, that many things, what we are known as the truth, has more aspects than we ever couldn't expect.


The social media has shown that any media is not absolute neutral or all reporters are not standing behind the truth. That kind of reporters have supported the dictatorial governments, and an example the most important supporters of Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler were journalists, who wrote the supporting propaganda for those dictators. They made articles, what justified persecution of political enemies of those dictators. This is an aspect, what we must understand, while we are investigated media.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to  form  the blue giant or too  small  it can collapse  straight  into a black hole . If  the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts.    The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists  model  of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

   "New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at  USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) The transcendenc...
