Original Old Post - Edited 2016-12-31) On Starting To Create A Mental Map
The next blog posts will delve on building a solid foundation (so a "building" does not have a "gap" that can be shaken. To understand more, see the mechanism of the "
broken window"). Lack of creating a foundation will make the individual to "create a foundation" even if he doesn't believe he has a foundation "subconsciously". Those foundations can be considered "dangerous" as they can consist huge sweeping over-generalizations and assumptions (reaction of the effects targets wrong sources). At this token, it is better to create a foundation that has some generalizations than one that is out of control driven subconsciously. The second step is to "test the waters" of the foundation (see if the foundation you have allows you to explore any of its realms). If it does not, then the foundation can be less used as an "application", and it becomes more as a "faith" to be respected. The current mission of this blog is:
- To justify the advantages of having a foundation (any foundation).
- Measuring whether the foundation can be tested or not.
- To "try" (but we cannot promise!) to be as "neutral" as possible to all foundations, as this topic is on the premises of looking at all foundations.
- Taken the above 3 bullet points: how they fit while we build a solid foundation.
The rest of my blog posts will consist of building a solid foundation. Compared to other foundations, it can have to some extent, a lot of applications to real life while following all the rules, policies, and cultures in our whole world while making the world a better place (after all, it all depends on how you "tackle" them). In addition, the origin of this foundation is not made out of my own but comes from some great
researchers that tried to merge information from many great people (philosophers, scientists, psychologists, etc.). Last but not least, all learned theories start from over-generalizations at first, so please don't take all my points literally. Take note that all science is composed of "experimentation" of ideas with a lot of "failures" in the process. But here we are experimenting our "human body", huh? Not a "rock" or "mouse". Throughout history, many have tried to interpret the "human body" and it led to many repercussions with "fail" results in all or most experiments (i.e. Roman civilization take on religion with its Colosseum, the annihilation of the American native and the slavery of black with religion). But I have to say, just "ignoring" the personal because how we dealt it before in the past and instead "leave it be" in an immature stage as the same way our "external" world was "before" where no "science" existed is a real shame. Imagine if we warped in another dimension of our same world where civilization decided to not let science to transform our world due to some past valid insecurity (i.e. the partial destruction of our world by weapons of mass destruction). We would look at the motivation of such world and express to our self, "Oh mercy! How thy world you ended up like that". Thank god that we do not take seriously this anti-technology sentiment some people take these days or we may have ended up to nowhere. However, shouldn't we suggest the same shame for how the personal dimension is being dismissed these days? If we disregard the mistakes of the past within the personal dimension, it is not anymore whether learning human life is "right" or "wrong", but how to do it in the most safest environment possible, how to be based on the free will of the people (instead of controlled), where they can contribute and test the ropes of several foundations that discuss about the individual itself. I understand many people have different opinions of how things should be and can find this topic controversial. However, I chose this direction is necessary to have more visibility of our own individuality. I have chosen that this will be some or most of the direction my blog posts will go. I have to say that a lot of the topics will have a lot of relevance with software and some even to the "software of our own human brain". I think software developers or computer scientists that try to delve on artificial intelligence and other systems will be the most open minded in those subjects of topics (hence the name of the blog). And no matter what others are telling you that "automated software" or "cyborgs" will control your life and make the world evil, ignore it. These things will need to come sooner or later and we have to be prepared to use these tools "correctly" and "effectively". If readers do not like the opinions of my blog posts, you can always have the choice to make some reasoning out of it and debate about it or respect it (as I will respect your foundation too - respect: I may express here on my blog posts the flaws of other foundations, but I will not invade your "space"- and we can have each our own space to express what we think the world is composed of without any coercion).
