 Out of sci-fi books into reality
Weird shit all around. Technology is reaching a point where it's progress will become exponential. This point in time is known as the Technological singularity. There are different definitions of this point but let me just say that it's NOT only about artificial intelligence. In my eyes, just curing ageing is reaching singularity - such advance will change the face of our civilization without recognition? Yes. It will mean exponential in all other areas of science? Yes, you have all the time in the world. I'm pretty sure that a lot of things would change in our society allowing science to advance smoother because of slowing down factors would be taken out.
Another thing I want to say about awareness. PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO WAKE UP. We already have technology that is straight out of sci-fi books so instead of all day around spending your time doing nothing and complaining about why the world sucks, how about doing something, anything. There has to be better implementation in all fields and legislation and that can only be done of people are aware of the possibilities we have.
Your probably asking what can be done about this. This progress will be made with our attention or without so what does it matter, right?
Well, wrong. Some tech is more crucial than the other for instance and in order to get the right tech promoted the public has to ask for it. Merely talking about it is promoting it. Not to mention that each and everyone one benefits from just knowing this kind of info because it could be useful at one point or the other and trust me, you wouldn't have to wait to long with the rate of how things are going now.

Zeitgeist : Moving Forward
"Zeitgeist: Moving Forward" is the third installment of Peter Joseph's Zeitgeist film trilogy. The film draws light on humanity's irrationality towards world economy. This is probably the root of all evil - our nonsensical obsession with money and power.Take a seat. Get focused. Watch and think.

Why Einstein Is Overrated
Albert Einstein. 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955.German theoretical physicist. Famously noted for his theory of relativity among other things such as discovery of the photoelectric effect. Einstein received a Nobel prize at 1921 in physics for that discovery. Einstein is named "genius" quite on a regular basis. First off, what does "genius" even mean? There is no definite definition but generally "genius" means invention, creativity, high capacity of intelligence, originality. There could be no definite definition because we aren't even sure what intelligence in general means. There are many variants and many specifications on the subject. Now having that in mind let's review Einstein for a moment: "Albert Einstein, theoretical physicist". "THEORETICAL PHYSICIST". Ask anyone you want and that person will tell you that Einstein because he invented the theory of general relativity. But what does that mean? It's a theory. It's not a creation and it's not authentic because we can't really know if it's right, we're just playing guessing games and giving out prizes at random to whoever grabs our attention the most. Einstein's Nobel prize in 1921 for the photo-electrical effect was for a discovery. Yes, he discovered the effect, he didn't invent it. Kudos for the discovery but any other physicist with the same luck could have made that discovery (or a any other discovery for that matter). By the way, yes, Einstein was known for grabbing attention. Why Einstein and not any other theoretical physicist? Why not Seth Eddermeyer , J.Robert Oppenheim or any other of physicists that worked on the Manhattan Project? How about the other 130,000 employees? Most of the hype began after Einstein moved to the U.S.A to avoid death in the Nazi Germany. It was most convenient for the media to use Einstein against the Nazi Germany as psychological warfare and propaganda. Also conveniently he was Jewish making him even better for use against the Nazis, him being a known physicist. At one point he was even asked to become the second president of Israel. Ironically he cared nothing for his Jewish heritage. So what are we left with after so many years? Misconceptions and beliefs that originated from propaganda more over than half a century ago. Nowadays Einstein is an icon used on any commercial object be it t-shirts, cups, posters, drawings , hats. Whatever you could think of really.Useless garbage to squeeze money out of people.
Here's a list of other famous scientists,mathematicians, philosophers,artists and other people with impressive expertise in their fields of study from history who don't even get close to the same credit or hype:
Felix Hausdorff
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Leonhard Euler Srinivasa Ramanujan
Leonardo da Vinci
MC Escher
Kurt Gödel
Socrates Martin Heidegger
Michelangelo René Magritte
Max Ernst Carl Jung Julius Robert Oppenheimer James Clerk Maxwell Charles Robert Darwin
and many, many more.
