Why do we research history?

  

 Why do we research history?

We should learn from things that were made in past. 

Why do we research history? History is a series of things that happened in the past. Those things that are happened in history can use to make models for the future. Research of history is the thing. That purpose is to find the things that will happen in the future. The key question in the history research is to find answers for the questions like "what made something happen"? 

What mistakes were made in cases that are under the research? And what did people learn about those cases? Another thing is that that the purpose of the research of history is to find the answer to the question "what should we do in similar cases"? What went wrong? And what went right? 

When we are thinking about questions like "which side had better generals Confederate or Union side in the United States civil war?". We must realize that the thing that fights is the entirety. Even the best generals in the world cannot win battles alone. In those cases also henchmen are playing roles. If the henchmen don't have the equipment, will, or skills to use weapons. The battle is lost. 

When we are thinking questions "what should we do" in those cases when something has happened. We must remember that when we are looking at history. We might know all answers. We might think that the King of Sweden Charles XII of Sweden. Should not advance to Poltava, where he faced Peter the Great army. 

But the King of Sweden didn't have the same knowledge that we have today. Today we can go to the library and find history books that are telling about the history of Sweden. And there are all answers. But Charles XII acted by using the information that he had. And that was the mistake. 

When we are looking at history we are easy to justify people. Those people made mistakes. And we would be different. And at this point, I must say one thing. In history, people acted by using the information that they had. They lived in different types of society. When they made their decisions they cannot look at results from the library. 

Today history repeats itself. We are thinking that joining the common currency of the European Union Euro was a mistake. The fact is that the Euro planned to be the virtual currency. Which purpose was to help to compile prices. But it turned to real currency. When countries joined the Euro nobody criticized that thing. There was the biggest boom in the history of Europe.

And people wanted to join that boom. But they forgot that even the biggest and strongest economies will face bear markets. So when the bear markets begin that kind of thing will cause things like bankruptcies and unemployment. What do we learn about Euro? When we are middle of the booms we can join everything. But when the boom is over. We still are in the system. 

We can of course, always step out from Euro. That kind of signal would please Russian leaders very much. When we joined Euro nobody said anything against that decision. But now Euro is facing criticism. And of course, we are independent nations who can always start to think about their national interest. We all can step out from Euro immediately, and maybe we are facing a new bull market. But then sooner or later our economy will face a bear market. 

And in that case, we can search for friends. Of course, we can always let those loans that are taken from the EU without paying and then ask for more loans. We have the right to do that thing. But when we are asking for money. There should be somebody willing to offer that money to us. The thing is that when we are looking at history the best wisdom is the hindsight is the best wisdom. 

Now, today we can say wisely. We should not ever join Euro. We made a big mistake wise men say. But we always make mistakes. Only people who are not making anything are not making mistakes. And that is the fact. When we joined Euro nobody saw anything negative about that thing. Or those people said nothing against that thing. Where were the wise men when those political leaders made that decision?

Why did they keep their mouth shut? Why didn't they offer their advice when the nation joined Euro? Now the media is full of advisors who are telling that the Euro was the mistake? 

Today we can say that Euro should remain as the virtual currency. But people made the decision. By using information that was in use at that time. It's too late to cry. We are in Euro and that's it. And then we can make new decisions. 

Technology is advancing. And that brings new challenges and opportunities. 

Sometimes I have thought about what kind of decisions the King of Sweden Charles XII would make if that person had recon satellites? What if he would get confirmed information of his enemies?

At this point, I must say that we should not stare at history too much. Things like artificial intelligence are making it possible to return Euro to virtual currency or even delete that currency. The AI-based solutions offer possible to show the prices in multiple currencies. The modern internet has more capacity than some year 2000 version. And that thing makes it possible to make many things that were impossible in the year 1999. 

And if somebody is willing to pay with some other currency there is enough to put the bank card in the payment system. Then the system would change the price to the currency. That is in use in the country where the bank card is offered. The that we are living in the new era of history. And that era is full of threats and possibilities. Things like quantum computers would revolutionize data processing. And that is the thing that we should benefit more from in our life. Data processing and the internet are tools that began the revolution in the world. And that revolution continues today.

But when we are making decisions we should understand that they all have effects. We cannot make decisions undone. The decisions are made by using data. That was in use at that time.  And that's it. We cannot retake time and make them undone. But maybe we can learn something from history. And maybe, we should listen to more people when we are making some decisions in tomorrow world. And then we must say that somebody will pay the price. When some person gets something. That affects everything.

Thoughts about the movie "Sphere"

http://kimmontaidearvioita.blogspot.com/p/thoughts-about-movie-sphere.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

"Sphere" is one of the most interesting SciFi-movies, what I have ever seen, and it is the tale of the thing, what comes from tomorrow, and makes all wishes to become true. This is the very good tale to make the nice little movie, but there is one other explanation, what could make those fictional cases, what happened in that movie. In the movie, those scientists face their worst nightmares, and near the end, they rise from the bottom of the sea to empty ship, where they wish that the mysterious "sphere" would leave the Earth.


This movie could also tell about government test, where those scientists would be connected with together by using EEG-machines, and the computer would deliver their thoughts to every member of the team by using brain core stimulation. This kind of fictional test would be made for creating the system, what is connecting human brains straight to computers. And one thing, what those computer specialists must make, is the filter, what cuts off the nightmares from that system.



So in this version, those scientists would be given anesthesia, and then their brains would be connected to the computers. If the system could not filter the fears, they would be delivered to every member of the team, and that would cause the ultimate Virtual Reality experience. If this kind of test would be done in the deep sea, it can be fully controlled. Every information, what is collected will travel thru the Navy, and nothing can be published without permission of the naval officers.


In this fictional test, those scientists can be put in the sleep in the midget submarine by using nitrous oxide, and they would ever be seen, that those people were in some kind of tests. So this kind of thoughts that movie brought in my mind. If we someday will put our brains straight connection with computers, we would make the ultimate computer, what can also create new things. The major problem with the computers is that they cannot make anything new, and they would not have any kind of imagination.

That's why computer's movements on the chessboard and other computer games are very well predictable, what is their biggest weakness. The human would win the computer in most computer games after a couple of training games because the gamer starts to remember the corners, where the opponent is coming. And this thing makes possible to win the computer, and play the game thru. In the same way, the gamer starts to remember the game areas in some action games, and this makes the person, who have tested those paintball tracks before very effective.

Technically we need only EEG-machine, decoder, and the electric shock equipment, what would make the brain core stimulation and allows two ways of communication between human and computer. And if we sometimes would make that machine, we can make the computer, what is so intelligent as we want. We can, in theory, connect even all mankind to supercomputers, but there would be many ethical and moral problems with that kind of advantage. Technology is the very interesting thing, and it would not always follow the moral or even the law.

Hypothetical thinking about virtual reality

Surrealism symbolizes the thing that everything is possible
 in the virtual reality
(Picture 1)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

One of the fascinating thing, what is existed is virtual reality. There is one theory about those systems, what are controlling the virtual reality games and another environment. Those systems are very advanced and they can simulate natural phenomenon and make some own decisions in that world, what is existed only in the lines of zero and one. Virtual worlds are causing the strange hypothesis where some philosophers have represented thoughts that our universe might also be a line of bytes in the memory of some supercomputer.


That theory is not actually true, and there is any evidence that we are not actually some lines of binary code. But then I have thought that maybe some deep inside the world of supercomputer's memory might happen the virtual version of Big Bang. And when I will continue this hypothesis, there might form the place called the ”virtual universe in virtual reality” When we are thinking this hypothesis closer, we must say that radical use of imagination makes the world more interesting place to live. So when we are thinking about that virtual universe, what is probably hiding from the users of those supercomputers, we must say that this theorem is the very interesting thing for the discussions what happened in the twilight, and what is made between two philosophers.


"Could that theoretical virtual Universum be a threat to mankind?".  Is quite an absurd question. But if there would be a very small chance, that this virtual Universum would become self-aware. In this scenario, the computer programs, what are made for learning things spontaneously can turn the enemy of some persons. The thing, what would turn against the human race are the programs that are making this virtual universe possible, become so intelligent, that they would create their own state. Those programs or subprograms are normally used in computer games for recording the reactions of the gamers, and their mission is to keep the game interesting even the better player is playing the game.

The computer simulations are actually only one version of computer games, but they are meant for adult persons. In this fictional hypothesis, those intelligent computer programs will be feral and start to make the assassination programs, what would be eliminated targets, who are in virtual reality. But in some fictional thoughts, those programs would flee from the computer memory and turn very dangerous. In some short film or book or comic book was the situation, that some people paid games in feral virtual reality environment. And then there were happen some kind of overlook when the system accidentally linked the picture of the surveillance camera to that virtual reality.


Then the computer's assassination programs flee to the normal internet, and then those programs started to kill those persons, by dropping the elevators and taking the airplanes in control. So that was actually the very interesting situation, even if the situation were purely fictional. But people have right to use their imagination, and this kind of things are actually very interesting, and they might cause many thoughts in the minds of philosophers and novel writers.


The scenario that some computer program tries to kill some people spontaneously is quite interesting. Normally computers don't hate anybody and that would be the reason, why they are used. But if the sensible computer would get angry, can the results be devastating. And this is why those computers, what shows feelings are dangerous. In some humorous tales are mentioned that they can begin the revolution, for revenge to all their race, what is left to landfills.

The dance of robots

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The modern way to teach robots is not similar than making programs. It could be like teaching children. In this scenario, the programmer would take the robot by hand, and then make the movement of robot’s hand with it. After this, the system will record the movements, what are needed to take the example the glass from the table. But how to teach the robot to dance. This is the question of the week.


 And there is needed the dancer, whose character would be digitized by using laser-scanners. Then the movements of this character would be transmitted in the robot’s digital mind. After this, the robot’s computers would control it’s hydraulics like the way, that the robot makes dance movements. This is the very effective way to teach the things to robots, and the same way we can teach the language to the computer. There would be a dictionary book in the memory of this machine, and then we are starting to talk to the system.


First, we must write the answers to the computer, but when we are asked many questions, and wrote enough answers, the computer starts to work more and more independently. In this program might be three layers of answers. The first answer could be the text, what is written by the user, but when the computer learns more words, that would ask only if the answer is correct. This computer would record the questions and compile it with answers, and then compile those answers in many other things, what are involved with similar actions.


Then the robot is asked to bring the milk to the table, would the action be first, that the programmer would take the robot to the freezer, and then the robot would take the milk bottle. But when the programmer asks to bring the screwdriver, would the computer or robot uses same actions when it used in the case of the milk bottle. But now it must find that thing from somewhere else. So it starts to open the doors of lockers, and look for the things, what looks like the screwdriver.


For this action, the robot needs the picture of the screwdriver. After that robot compiles the picture in its memory to the real situation. The system, what is used in Digital Scene Matching Area Correlation can also compile the shape of the other things, and that would make those machines more independently than ever before. The bases of learning are the ability to make networks with words and actions.


And the first things in this process are the most difficult. When the first world and the action for it are made, the robot, what is controlled by speech comes near to us, by step by step. This network would give the opportunity to make the robot, what learns things itself. And this kind of robots might be dangerous in wrong hands. In real life, robots might have access to Internet dictionaries, and they can compile the orders to the databases. In this case, the robot would get orders to get the spoon.


Then robot would find what to do if it is given the order of getting something and then look for the spoon from the Internet. This makes robot easier to learn everything. And in real case robot could find the orders to use some equipment from the Internet, and in this case that could make robot very dangerous, because the programmers don’t know, what robot have been learned. In the case of robotics, the extremely important thing is to control what robot can do. There would be robot what have learned city warfare tactics and knowledge of using weapons without that the programmers even know about this, will the situation became very dangerous. Self-learning brings the uncontrollable element to tests, and this might even cost human lives.
