There is only one kind of discrimination and it fucks with everyone
Male chauvinists are digging their own graves I hear from a lot of Anti-feminists and radical conservatives that men shall be granted authority over women because they are physically stronger. They always stress that men were more important because they fight, protect women and children and build the country, and are just better, stronger, more…

The Science of getting rich. Wallace D. Wattles.
Everyone can, if he tries? I am not sure about that. I just started reading the book called “the Science of getting rich” by writer Wallace D. Wattles and he made an interesting thesis at the beginning of the book. “There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra…

Teachers replaced- Can AI give students feedback?

The danger of AI: Does no one want to talk about the children?
Children get in contact with AI through many things. AI systems are “embedded in toys, virtual assistants, video games, and adaptive learning software”. Children are on social media and algorithms determine what they watch, what products are advertised to them, and how they regard sexuality, race, and religion.

This is perhaps surprising for some people because there is this false narrative man is not created to be monogamous, in…

De Anima: Aristotle explains why people can never accept a sentient AI
The great philosopher and polymath of ancient Greece Aristotle talks in his book “De Anima” [On the soul] about the soul and existence of living things. He is very accurate in distinguishing the living things from the non-living things. And that is an important definition to debate the moral status of robots. But one thing…

Exciting new study: AI can read our minds
AI can do a lot of cool stuff. If you read my articles, you know that scientists managed to let AI develop an intuition for physics like a child. AI can manipulate human behaviour and AI unfortunately adapted one of the most human traits possible, racism and sexism. But a recent study from the university…

What is the sense of life? IT’S OBVIOUS!
Depression often correlates with nihilism, an attitude of seeing no sense, virtue, or meaning in anything. Not even in life, and that can sometimes become dangerous. But it is lunacy and an utterly false assumption to claim there is no sense of life. We just have to think less complex about it. I make a…

How different are men and women and why is this question so important to people?
A lot of stereotypes in social science turned out to be not exactly true. One other narrative is, for instance, that women are less competitive than men, but recent studies show that this is very task-specific and regarding beauty. Women are actually very competitive. Women are also not more cooperative, that’s too easy. Studies show…
