The biggest of the wild card effects is the human factor.

 The biggest of the wild card effects is the human factor.




The human factor is the thing that makes predictions very difficult. 


The thing is that we can predict how the large gas masses behave in the universe. We can make algorithms that predict if there is some kind of exoplanet or civilization near some star. But we cannot predict how the human race and our society are behaving. The thing called: "the human factor" is one of the biggest of the so-called "wild card effects". 

The wild card means the surprising and non-predictable thing that has a large-scale influence on the environment. And the power of human nature is visible in the cases like COVID-19 vaccination programs. It is predicted that authorities can remove limitations caused by pandemics when the level of vaccinated people reaches 80%.  But the percentual number of the vaccinated people would rise hardly over 80%. 

And that thing is one of the examples of the human factor. All people would not take vaccines even if against the sense. These kinds of human factors are causing problems for making predictions for the future. When people are against something, they just want to follow their road even if that thing is against their benefit. 


Social media is one of the most impressive examples of wild cards. 


The cases that the human factor would terminate all predictions are examples of why computers cannot predict the future. When the AI is making the prediction it will collect all data about the cases, and then it will see are the similar signals visible in nature. But when we are thinking about technology advantages and development process that thing is out of control. 

There is one wild card that is totally out of control and that is social media. That thing is hard to control. And then another and even larger size thing is the internet. Nobody controls what people are doing at their part-time. And the information of the programming is easy to find from the net. So every person in the world can begin their artificial intelligence project. 

There is nobody who leads the R&D processes that are basing the open-source. Those kinds of things are self-controlling. And that thing means that no leader can stop those processes. When a developer makes something the response of the product is in the developer's seat. 

The same developers that can make the algorithm that can search data from the internet can also make spy programs and computer viruses. And that is the problem. But those programs can also use for searching drug dealers and slave traders. So are the surveillance programs so bad? Or is in those programs something good? 

Even if own projects by using the computers that belong to a company are prohibited everybody can buy their computer for that kind of thing. And the recommendation is that for own business is used own computers. 

The wild data causes turbulence in the environment. And the turbulence can cause. That even the strongest signals are covering. This thing makes traditional leadership very hard. The movement from the upper-controlled process will turn to a self-controlled process. And this thing makes the next challenge for society.

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

Who really was Plato, the great philosopher?

When we are thinking about the great philosopher Plato, we are thinking about the man who established the Academy of Athens. And we might remember that this man was a traveler. He traveled in many places in his life and wrote many texts and books, which still is very respected thoughts about the state and other things. When we are looking at the books or series of books, we are facing the thing, that there were lots of texts. If we want to use criticism we must notice that the model of the ideal state is rising the kings in the very high position, and the thing would flatter the kings. And sometimes I have thought that maybe that famous model of the ideal state is written by somebody else. The thing is that the model, where the philosophers rule the state behind the lines of soldiers could be written for the persons like Justinian, who was really flattered. The thing is that this kind of writings was meant for flatter the rulers, who would not persecute philosophers, even they had d...

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...
