Consciousness Science

What is it that makes us human? Is it language, imagination, morality, or is it that we cook and wear shoes? Or perhaps we are less human than we think - Neanderthal and Denisovan genes can be found within all of us! Once again, New Scientist have all of the unexpected answers, and - just as they did for the universe in The Origin of (Almost) Everything - they take us on a tour around the human body and brain, taking in everything from evolution to email, from the Stone Age to Spotify.

This 2017 revised, updated, and reformatted edition is not an article in the classical sense, but rather an intuitive summary of all of the author’s nonfiction books. Its paradigmatic style and authoritative diction have not a little in common with Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra. This expanded worldview is a concise sketch of "realizable" new ways, both individually and collectively, or, in a more expanded formulation, a new worldview that re-institutes real morality principles instead of the fake morality that postmodern international consumer culture practices

Consciousness is a virtual simulator par excellence and as such allows humans to have a rolodex of potential strategies when navigating in a world with ever-changing competitive concerns and environmental niches...The advent of virtual and augmented reality may serve as a useful pathway to better understand why consciousness evolved the way it did, primarily because the brain itself operates as a VR system, albeit a much more sophisticated one than Oculus Rift or HTC Vive.

Consciousness created the cosmos. It is the immortal, all-pervasive, omnipotent expanse of energy, which connects all mind and matter that has been or exists and will exist in future. Human perception is in spirit, creator, or divinity. Cosmic consciousness is the infinite intelligence which is the source and the cause of all existence. Cosmic consciousness is defined for our comprehension by whatever terminology and form that human minds can conjure up. Otherwise, infinite intelligence sustains everything. The unified field connects all mind and matter.

Filozofický esej z roku 1936 spadá do posledního období literární tvorby Josefa Čapka a je počítán mezi jeho nejvýznamnější opusy díky snaze o postižení smyslu a podstaty lidské existence. Autor a jeho druhé já zde vedou živou rozpravu o podstatných setkáních na cestě životem: s tělem, duší, různými věky člověka, smrtí, přírodou, uměním. Se vzorem v postavě v Komenského Labyrintu světa a ráje srdce, líčí symbolickou cestu člověka a konečný obrat do vlastního nitra, "do domu srdce svého". Za vrcholný znak lidství pokládá autor svobodnou duši, nezatíženou malostí a strachem.

The goal of this book is not merely a study of the past. It also raises questions about the goal of human life and its amazing creative potentialities. If these achievements of ancient or recent times were possible in the conditions of isolation and hostility by the surrounding world, what even greater achievements are possible in the future? Is there something in these geniuses’ lives and works that we can apply to our present dilemmas? It’s certainly worth taking a closer look at the greatest geniuses in all of history.

Based on direct conversations between our Founding Fathers, there are clear qualities, characteristics, and skills associated with the small minority of people who greatly influence the majority.

Марк Аврелий - римский император и стоик, чье правление пришлось на «золотой век Римской империи», а его самого называли философом на троне. "Наедине с собой - собрание мыслей Марка Аврелия, созданное в конце II века н.э. Эти записи содержат рассуждения римского императора о духе, долге и совести, а также отражает его упорное стремление не только руководствоваться в своем мироощущении идеями стоицизма, но и развивать его для будущих поколений.

So unausbleiblich wie die Katze spinnt, wenn man sie streichelt, malt süße Wonne sich auf das Gesicht des Menschen, den man lobt und zwar in dem Felde seiner Prätension, sei das Lob auch handgreiflich lügenhaft. Oft trösten ihn über reales Unglück oder über die Kargheit, mit der für ihn die beiden, bis hier her abgehandelten Hauptquellen unseres Glückes fließen, die Zeichen des fremden Beifalls.

Dass dieses zu seinem Glücke viel mehr beiträgt, als was er hat, oder was er vorstellt, haben wir bereits im allgemeinen erkannt. Immer kommt es darauf an, was einer sei und demnach an sich selber habe: denn seine Individualität begleitet ihn stets und überall, und von ihr ist alles tingiert, was er erlebt.

Die Grenze unserer vernünftigen Wünsche hinsichtlich des Besitzes zu bestimmen ist schwierig, wo nicht unmöglich. Denn die Zufriedenheit eines jeden, in dieser Hinsicht, beruht nicht auf einer absoluten sondern auf einer bloß relativen Größe, nämlich auf dem Verhältnis zwischen seinen Ansprüchen und seinem Besitz: daher dieser letztere, für sich allein betrachtet, so bedeutungsleer ist wie der Zähler eines Bruchs ohne den Nenner.

Was einer ist: also die Persönlichkeit, im weitesten Sinne, Sonach ist hierunter Gesundheit, Kraft, Schönheit, Temperament, moralischer Charakter, Intelligenz und Ausbildung derselben begriffen. / Was einer hat: also Eigentum und Besitz in jeglichem Sinne. / Was einer vorstellt: unter diesem Ausdruck wird bekanntlich verstanden, was er in der Vorstellung anderer ist, also eigentlich, wie er von ihnen vorgestellt wird. Es besteht demnach in ihrer Meinung von ihm, und zerfällt in Ehre, Rang und Ruhm.
