Tyrants always use the "It's for the greater good" argument.
"Nurmengard was a towering, jet-black wizarding prison built by Gellert Grindelwald to hold his enemies.
And carved over the entrance is Grindelwald’s grim mantra:
'For the Greater Good'."

The Internet's polarizing people, causing forks, divergent worldviews, ideologies that are here to stay, forcing difficult choices on us, fracturing us, clustering us, dividing us, all as part of its self-organizing process.
Does the instinct to self-organize imply consciousness?

The ideological war on mandates will only end one one side definitively loses.
Who has incentives to drag this on?
It's all about power, as that's what this all comes down to.
Me talking on power like an autistic introvert circa 2017 might be cringe, but I clarified my views.

Before they change the definition, want to clarify how I always learned what "racism" means:
'To prejudge someone based on their race, most noticably by using someone's skin color as part of your decision-making process.'
I prefer to be colorblind, never considering skin color.

Organizational levels:
The cell has a degree of organization.
The human has a degree of organization. And above it the planet. The solar system. The galaxy.
All these structures are not independent of each other.
All levels of organization interact on other levels of organization.
The atom acts on the molecule. The molecule on the hormone. The hormone on the behavior of The human. The human on the planet.
It is because the cell needs sugar that it will ask the human to hunt for food. It is because of hunting for food that man wanted to extend his territory and that he ended up sending rockets outside the planet.
In return, it is because the astronaut will experience a breakdown that he will get a stomach ulcer and, because there is a stomach ulcer, some of the atoms that form his stomach lining will see their electrons detached from the nucleus to give free radicals; therefore, the microscopic electric fields in the stomach will change.
Zoom out, zoom in from atom to space.
Seen from this angle, the death of a man means nothing scientifically. It is only energy that is transformed. The energy that made the human being run, play, reproduce will make a tree grow and give fruits, in the form of compost mixed with the earth.
There are only two choices: the spiritualist choice and the scientific choice. For the spiritualists, the soul reincarnates in several bodies.
For the scientists, it is the energy which recycles under several forms of matter.
A common point to both options: we are all energy from the big bang and in permanent recycling.

"How To Control The Senses"
Your reality is what you perceive through the 5 senses.
Eyes to see.
Ears to hear.
Nose to smell.
Tongue to taste.
Skin to touch.
These 5 senses have only one purpose: Gathering information about your environment.
Everything that you experience through these senses is stored in form of memory inside your brain.
Now pay attention, this is the important part,
All your five senses are indifferent. Which means they only give you raw information, but they tell you absolutely nothing about the object.
For example,
You see an apple. But your eyes can't tell you it's Red.
You know it's Red because you've been taught so. And that information is permanently stored inside your brain.
So now whenever you eyes see an apple, that particular memory is recalled and you see it as red.
In realty the senses work only on two principles:
Pleasure and Pain.
All the other distinctions are based on what you've memorised throughout your life.
Once you become fully self-aware of this fact, you start seeing things for what they truly are.
To control the sense we have an inside mechanism called conscience.
Let's call it our inner guide. This guide observes, memorises and learns from every experience.
And here's the good part: it's programmed to keep you on the right path. To follow the path of nature.
You can test it anytime you want and it always gives you an answer that's for you own good.
You can try it right now.
Is smoking good for me?
Is watching porn health for my mind?
Is procrastinating good for my career?
Do I really need alcohol to enjoy a moment?
And everytime, you'll get an answer that's in favour of your health and happiness.
You don't need motivation, or healers, or therapy.
All you need is to start listening to your inner guide.
I know it can be hard. The conscience know it's bad, but the mind forces and drags you with it.
Chew on this for a few days, then we'll learn how to deal with the mind.

The future of AI will entail feeding multiple orthogonal sources and types of data into the same neural network - today, most neural networks are designed to only input one stream of data.
Believe you can heal from within, emotionally & physically.
Find pockets of pain, tension, ickiness, or rot within your body ("interoception") and blast it with awareness.
Concentrate on it until it dissolves of its own accord.
Let the life force flow through your immune system.

Maybe you took the jab to not cause any waves, and truthfully believe everyone will take it eventually and that resistant people are just throwing a juvenile hissy fit before just going along.
Maybe you're right.
But maybe not.
Maybe you're not as strong as you thought.
And maybe you're sick of people like me bringing it up.
Well, I'm here now to find the leaders of tomorrow.
Is my position any real surprise to you?
I'm happy to annoy the world into complying with freedom.
I can push and influence hard when I want to. I'll continue to do so.
I'll stop bringing it up when I win.
...
And I will win.

In medicine, AI used to be primarily used for diagnosis.
Now, AI is also being used to predict which patients will best respond to which cancer treatments.

Autoencoders are an unsupervised learning technique in AI wherein a signal (e.g. an image) is squeezed down into just a few numbers, maybe <100 (the "latent space") that are meant to capture all the information about that image.
The latent space is the middle layer of a butterfly shaped neural network.
The image is fed through the network, squeezed down to the latent space, and then, just taking the few latent space numbers, the AI tries to expand the latent space back into the original image size and reconstruct the original.
How close that reconstruction is to the original defines the accuracy of the AI, such as L2 Norm, R^2, Mutual Information.
The benefits of using autoencoders are for anomoly detection (e.g. network traffic spikes that are not reconstructed well are probably anomolies), and similarity search (e.g. two images with similar latent space values probably look similar, so you can do a reverse image search).
Use cases of an autoencoder based reverse image search may include uploading a picture of a shirt and it find similar looking shirt to purchase from a large database of shirt pictures, or uploading an image of a tumor and it find similar looking tumors from other patients for better diagnosis and treatment planning.
