or internship with them. Internships and experience are becoming more and more important as the oil and gas market continues to fluctuate. Apache is an oil and gas exploration company based in Houston, Texas. Apache is a global company with oil reservoirs all over the world. Although most of their oils till comes from the Permian basin in west Texas, they also have sizable holdings in the middle east. Almost 30% of Apache’s oil production comes from the oil contracts in Egypt. Their mission statement according to their website is: “Our mission is to grow in an innovative,…
commit certain activities. Jung explains that these archetypes are harbored in the collective unconscious of every person's mind. The archetype of the hero is one of them. The middle of Oedipus the King shows the character Oedipus as the Jungian archetypal hero and sacrificial scapegoat. In order to understand Jung's theory of archetypes, the reader must first have an understanding of the reasoning behind them. Carl G. Jung explains the conscious mind by dividing it into three different…
creation - the early versions of the ultimate in Star Trek holodeck simulations - is the name of the virtual reality game. Of course you already experience virtual reality 24/7/52. Anything and everything you experience is courtesy of your sensory apparatus, your memories, and your overall state of being as a conscious, self-aware being. If all reality is experienced solely within your mind then you already exist in a virtual reality 'world'. That's especially the case when you dream. That could…
In the article Superman to the Rescue: Simulating Physical Invulnerability Attenuates Exclusion-Related Interpersonal Biases (Ackerman, Bargh, & Huan, 2013) Julie Huan, Joshua Ackerman, and John Bargh set up a number of studies including a pre-test, study one, study two, and study three to demonstrate the relation between physical invulnerability simulation and positive or negative reactions to being excluded in social situations. They also consider how the reactions of exclusion can change when…
Simulation Theory “There’s a one in billions chance we’re in base reality,” claims Elon Musk, product architect of Tesla Inc., founder of SpaceX, and more. In recent years, the simulation-argument has gained serious traction as we further advance technologically, and intellectually. However, not everyone is on board with the “simulation argument”—a term coined by Nick Bostrom (Philosophy Professor at Oxford University) when he published a journal stating: [A]t least one of the following…
This article talks about the many advancements for wilderness setting simulations like the SimMan to provide an effective tool for learning certain wilderness medicine skills that were not available before and provide the best available care for the patient who is injured and needs help. It also will help the person performing the type of medical help to make them feel more comfortable with difficult and challenging situations. As stated in the article it says that they will be able to properly…
Something that I felt was very insightful was Jean Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation, which analysees how we experience reality through signs and symbols and that because we use signs and symbols so heavily, our experience in life can be viewed as a simulation of reality. [Baudrillard, 1981]. In the Oxford English Dictionary, simulation is defined as "the action or practice of simulating, with an intent to deceive." In comparison simulacrum is defined as "a material image, made as a…
The advantages of the use of simulation includes, among others, the reduction of expenditures shifts to the training camps increasingly restricted as well as the transit of troops on the ground, reducing the accident risks. It also provides the economy with the maintenance of logistics activity, the reduction of damage to the military use of material garrisons still in teaching-learning process and the increased time available with the material at hand for the conservation activity; and the…
The simulation hypothesis is a popular topic of debate among many renowned scientists. Philosophers have questioned the legitimacy of our reality for centuries, now physicists are trying to prove our existence and the consciousness of those around us. Technology is constantly advancing and graphic capabilities have improved exponentially in the past few years. Over time, simulations will become indistinguishable from reality. The simulation theory is a non-falsifiable hypothesis because, no one…
the control group with the simulation of being able to fly that recalled a time where they were excluded had an increased desire to contact friends than those that had the simulation of flight but rather only recalled the last meal they ate. The participants who has the experience of being excluded with the simulation of being invulnerable had a large disinterest in contacting their friends did the people with exclusion flight group. For the groups that had invulnerability with either recalling…
