Capitalism, defined as production for profit for a competitive market - is an economic system in which the private profit-maximization motif lies at the core of its virtues and maladies. In script it is supposed to provide economic opportunities and a better future for all. On one hand both Capitalism and Globalization have been responsible for tremendously reducing the poverty rates over the past 30 years while increasing the life expectancy, morality rates, education and democracy. Capitalism…

In the animal kingdom species survive through natural selection, meaning they must adapt and pass upon the information to next generations to ensure the survival of a species. Humans, like all organisms, have complex mental modules that evolved to keep the genes from extinction. This concept is explored in Keith E. Stanovich book, The Robot's Rebellion: Finding Meaning in the Age of Darwin. Stanovich refers to the concept that humans are merely robots created by our genes to protect them and to…

abilities, we try to study and see if these artificial things have the same thought processes as a human does. According to the article by Joel Achenbach, humans have a built in quality to progress that is given by the universe and this allows for evolutionary process. This is an important part in when humans create things like A.I. and other technologies, the reason being that the understanding of how this progressive quality works is what pushes the better understanding of our creations. To…

Procedure of LASIK: First, the eye is numbed with a few drops of topical anesthetic. An eyelid holder is placed between the eyelids to keep them open and prevent the patient from blinking. A suction ring placed on the eye lifts and flattens the cornea and helps keep the eye from moving. Once the cornea is flattened, a hinged flap of corneal tissue is created using an automated microsurgical device, either a laser or blade. This corneal flap is lifted and folded back (figure 1). Then the excimer…

Have you ever worried about aliens invading? What about being abducted? What is our plan for any extraterrestrial event coming to earth, either in peace or harm, and making contact with us humans (Murphy)? Aliens are known to have a multitude of different characteristics and features. There are many examples and forms of proof that extraterrestrials have an existence. Multiple sightings and stories have been proven hoaxes. Popularization of aliens through media greatly accounts for widespread…

Abstract— Harmonics that are created by non-linear devices connected to the power system. Power system harmonics are multiples integer of the fundamental power system frequency and these harmonic frequencies can create distorted voltages and currents. Distortion of voltages and currents can impact on the power system adversely causing power quality problems. Therefore, approximation of harmonics is of high importance for efficiency of the power system network to maintain the quality limits…

attaining A.I. capable of superseding humans in most types of analytical and creative thought. Furthermore, the nations of the world at the forefront of technological innovation are only a decade or so away from having deployable, fully autonomous robotic soldiers and aircraft. The computer is without question, the most important and life altering invention of the past century. Unfortunately, due the ridiculous amount of parallel…

Creativity and artificial intelligence Rishi Raj Sonar Student of MCA V MSIT, MATS University Raipur, Chhattisgarh E-mail:- banty.raj6@gmail.com Abstract Creativity or imagination is a fundamental feature of human intelligence, and a challenge for AI. AI used to create new ideas in three ways:- by producing novel combinations of familiar ideas; by exploring and by making transformations that enable the generation of previously impossible ideas. AI will have less trouble in…

Potential planetary targets that have potential to be explored by NASA with manned or robotic missions have been categorized according to this system. Those of the least concern with planetary protection measures include asteroids and the moon of Jupiter Io (4). This is because they have been deemed by NASA as being not important for determining the chemical and evolutionary origins of life. The second class of planets includes two subcategories. Those planets that are not icy…

Dr. A. K. Moravec – Rebuttal I have to say that was, well, interesting. This has to be a short rebuttal and so I will just pick up on one area of disagreement. There are major flaws in the argument that trans-humanism lacks an able morality; in fact I want to argue that we have a moral obligation to pursue trans-humanism. We have obligations as people, and John Harris points out 2 main obligations. Our obligations are: To do no harm and to be fair. I believe these two obligations lead us in…
