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.

Disconnection is as important as making a connections

http://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.fi/p/disconnection-is-as-important-as-making.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The network-based computing has very important to make connections, but also able to disconnect those connections is also the same level of importance as connecting those connections. If the particle of the system makes the connection, it would reserve the wire, what is used in the connection. That is the reason, why the connection must be cut sometimes.


This cutting releases the wire from the socket, and it would save connection wires and sockets for other use, and that makes the system more flexible. In human brains happens sometimes the thing, where brain cells disconnect some connections between together. And that is known as forgetting. Forgetting things release the brain capacity to another purpose, and that makes the use of memory more flexible because it removes unnecessary records from the brains. This makes brains easier to find important data from memories. If the human cannot forget anything, the life could be very traumatic.


Because the memory would become a very complex thing, and the searching the things from that very huge and complex database, would take very long time. And the purpose of memory is to be handbook how to work in some situation. And if those memories cannot dig from memory very fast, the picture is useless in the situation, where man meets some predators like snakes, that could be dangerous. In those situations, must the information of the action, that should be done must be found immediately. If the snakes would bite, that would be the end of that person's life. The loss of the memory is actually good example for Kiss (Keep It So Simple) method. The same way we must sometimes remove things from our archives like hard disks, what contains this time also network stations and other virtual places, where people store data.


Here I must ask a simple question: why store some ex-employees or girlfriends messages if nobody ever reads those messages anymore? Why would we not remove pictures of our ex-spouse from hard disk, or are we so glad to see them? Those pictures and messages connect us to the past, and the past is the thing, what we would never get back. And this is the reason, why we should destroy those pictures, what were taken in some cruise about 15 years ago? This case is pure fiction, and all similarities with real persons, are their alive or dead is only coincidence. When we are starting speculative thinking, that cruise might be only one, what our main character has made with this spouse.


And maybe that spouse changed partner in that particular sea trip. So would you want to remember that thing? Removing photograph would be thought, that that way that the wire between now and that very stressing thing from the past have cut. That means that life must go on, and what happened then is gone forever. And we can face another change to make marvelous things if we want to do. In this case, we can forget those happenings in our heydays. In that time we hadn't got experience or spine to handle those things. But now we are elder and more experienced, than in those days of golden youth. And if we would remember all our disappointments, we would have no time to make anything else than


being sad. Every high-grade boss in the business life have faced disappointment in youth, and that has made them vision and motivation to get the highest graduates for getting their positions in the president of some enterprise-class company. Maybe something like that fictional case where spouse leaves the partner in cruising caused the motivation to begin the studies of law or some other science and finish studies with excellent grades, what are necessary for leaders of the enterprise-class company. Studying those things is very difficult, and the person who studies in the world-class business school or university must have very high motivation. But when that person would be got the grade, would that be the very marvelous situation. And that is also the price of well-done work, what is done during studies. And leaving old things backward allows us to begin the new life. This is one way to tell people, why we are forgetting things.


Forgetting us the natural way to renew our way to think and act. This is the reason, why we must sometimes throw away something, what has been part of us for long period. But if we never throw away anything, we would fill our homes with old merchandise. And this would be the good reason for cleaning the house from every useless stuff. That stuff feels so nice, but it only fills our garages and all other places. If we ever remove that merchandise, we would make it risk for our personal safety because that merchandise would make very big risk fire, and also rats and other animals, what we would not want might live in that useless merchandise, witch right place would be in some dump.


This was thoughts about memory and why are forgetting things. Forgetting is like the divorce from marriage because it same times hurts and makes people free to something else in their life, what is short and burning fast, like in one composition, what is made by Metallica says. And the life of human being is short because that would release our space for next generations. When we are thinking carefully, we must say that death is also one way to forget things.


We are all want to remember our past years, but when time goes, we would not remember them so often, as we might want to do. But first we would lose somebody forever, we always feel bad first. That feels the death of the best friend if we meet some nice foreigner girl or boy who might be some kind of exchange student. First, we would want to ask that person the contact information, and then happens something very sad. That nice person would go to the homeland a day earlier than supposed. And that address change should have happened at the airport.


Sometimes that fictional person comes from some nice land like New Zealand, what might mean, that you would not probably meet together ever again. Those things happen sometimes, and they would feel like funerals. But life goes on. This was the writing about losing something. And memories are the thing, what connects us to the past. That makes some of them so sad, and maybe the time gives them golden shine. But memories are something that is personal, and they would stay in our mind forever or rest of our life. They are stored for use for giving us experience about living our lives like we self-want to make it. The most important gift what we ever got, our own life.


That is the thing, what nobody can do for you. We cannot always please everybody, but sometimes we must take the radical point of view about something, because it would give us the possibility to show people, how we dare to write something, what can be true or real lies. Writing is a good way to show people, that writer has own opinions, what this person wants to publish and share those thoughts with all people around the world. Because the texts are the way to tell people about the ideas and thoughts what writer transfer to the papers. This is one way think memory and its relationship with other actions, like remembering something.

In memorial Stephen Hawking (8.1.1941-14.3.2018)

Stephen Hawking
(1941-2018)
(Picture 1)

Stephen Hawking was born on the same day than Galileo Galilei and died on the Same day than Albert Einstein was born. He lived with two top scientist, what history knows. And this man raised as big as both of those great men. This man was also isolated from the community because of his syndrome, and that’s why his life was some kind of than Galileo Galilei, who was persecuted for his work. But for me, this man was first the scientist and this is why I’m writing this text like this. I didn't know this man myself, so I don't know about his personal life. I know him by his publishing, and that's why I must write this text by the visual angle of his work


One of the greatest scientific icons of our time is gone forever. He was the great man for his university and all scientific community of the world. This man raised the unique thinking to the front of people mind. He was the man who raised black holes in the greatest things in the Universe. Also, he was one of the most revolutionary thinkers in the world, and even in the old days, he remembered the dangers of artificial intelligence.


When we are talking about Stephen Hawking as the person, we must realize that this man, who was trapped in wheelchair broke borders in the eyes of the people. He had ALS-syndrome, and that trapped him in prison in his own body. But this didn't stop him to make very qualified science. And this is how we remember that man. He was the scientist, who was known for his work in the theoretical physics.


But now this genius is gone forever. Maybe he would now travel in the universe without limits of the material. And this is how nature has ruled. Every individual in the world has time, and that doesn’t make exceptions. The time of Stephen Hawking has come, and he left something to the whole world. He left magnificent scientific material and he was experienced in many scientific movies, what can be found on YouTube. So when we are thinking about this genius, we must say that this man left the big hole in the science community. And there would be very difficult to fill this hole in the world of science.
