"The ideal state of Plato" meant for tool in a philosophical argument about things, what they thought important topics. 

When Plato introduced his "Ideal State" that man gave it for critics. He meant that people were allowed to discuss that model to rule nations and people. The ideal state means to demonstrate the power of authorities, and that indeed the highest-ranking soldiers had somebody who rules them. The thing is that the "Ideal State" was the tool. 

That tool meant for handling the relationship between the individual and the group. The difference between firm and state is that the state cannot kick people out of it. But if the firm would kick some person out, that means that the person is free to go to another workplace. 

As you see, every state and the part of it are a collection of individuals, who have their place in society. Or the entirety, what is called a state. So what the rulers must remember when they are giving orders? They should sometimes give carrot because if the only thing, that is given is a stick, the nation turns unhappy. 

The thing is similar when some person hangs carrot in front of the eyes of the mule, the mule would move forward because it expects that it would get the bite of carrot. It has the right to believe that when the work has done, it will get the gift, that promised to it as the price for a well-done job. 

If the job has been done, but the price has not been given the mule would be disappointed. And if the disappointment would happen too many times the mule would stop working. If the quality of the done work means nothing that means the mule would start to think, that it would not take the prize anyway and stops to wait for it. The promises of the prize are meanless because there is ever the prize.

Because there is no matter how the work was done that would bring the "who cares" attitude in the mind of that person is that there is no matter how the work is done. The thing is that mule is not stupid. It doesn't just know where the road is going. 

The controller would move carrot to the side, where the mule needs to turn, but the thing is that only the controller knows where they are going. And this gives the controller power to the mule. But otherwise, if the introductions for the travel are wrong, the mule doesn't know even that thing. The responsibility for the successful journey is in the hands of the controller. 

So is mule stupid? The answer is that if it doesn't know anything about the trip before it starts, it would not be stupid. It just doesn't know where is the end of the journey, because nobody told that to the mule.

Even Einstein himself could not complete the mission if nobody tells that man even that there is something, that Albert Einstein must do. So because that somebody denies knowledge or tools doesn't make another person stupid, because that other person cannot do the job without tools or the existence of the work ever told to that person. 

In this text, the carrot symbolizes the position that is promised for the hard work. The mule symbolizes creature what makes hard work, but what doesn't know where the road is going. For reaching something is the thing that makes us learn things and follow some very boring lectures. Life is not always easy, but hard work would make a person stronger. 

If we transfer this idea to the state, we must realize that every people must have access to the carrots. They must have the possibility to even send the application for the positions, what the carrots are symbolizing. People must know what kind of education is allowing them to get the position, and they are allowing us to want those positions.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
