The disinformation about things like the coronavirus spreads in the net.

 The disinformation about things like the coronavirus spreads in the net.



The question of why people believe disinformation is that disinformation is pleasing them. Another reason is that people are looking for social relations with people who are similar to them. And the information that is shared on social media is coming from people who we want to please. And those people please us.

So we are not saying that person shares information that is not relevant because we were afraid to lose somebody that might seem important to us. If our friends are sharing the disinformation. We might not dare to resist the hoax information.

Or say that information is not correct or the shared information might be dangerous. The reason for that is we are afraid to hurt somebody in our social network. If some people who we use to think like an authority or who is the central person in our social network are sharing disinformation, we might want to obey that person. That means we might follow that person even if we know that is wrong. 


1) Misinformation means "not correct" or false information. That is not shared in purpose. 


2) Disinformation means the information that is shared in purpose. That purpose might hurt or damage the trust of the authorities. 

Another name for that kind of campaign is propaganda. The military term for that kind of action is PSY-OP or Psychological Operation. 


The most important targets for disinformation are people who are in influential positions. And one of the groups where the disinformation is targeted is journalists. If journalists are affected the information that is shared will turn more powerful. People trust the media and if somebody cheats the reporter that will turn information more powerful. 

The normal way to resist vaccines is to criticize them. Critical attitude means of course the denial attitude. A critical attitude means that person is investigating the background. But in the disinformation campaign, the criticism means that person is against some things like vaccines. In the same way, critical attitude against the refugees and foreigners is turned to denial attitude in the public language. 

So how do we recognize is something disinformation? One version of that thing is that only negative things are collected in the article. I use the term "article" also for texts. Those are written on social media.  

We might analyze who is the person or actor, who is benefits the case that somebody doesn't take vaccines? The person who benefits from the action is often behind that thing.  The thing is that some vaccines are denying also the use of biological weapons. But that thing might not the reason why somebody is resisting the vaccines. 

If the person is vaccinated there is also impossible to die because of some illnesses. That means the vaccines are protecting people, but they also deny lies like being home in flu when a person has a hangover. 

One of the things that can use as the mark for disinformation is that the article or disinformation is driven by using humor or there are some other things like mentions of mental illness of the writer. Things like schizophrenia have not connected with the things like Game theory. 

But for some reason, the creator of the Game theory John Nash is always mentioned as being schizophrenic. 

When I read books about Game Theory there is one remarkable detail. In those texts is mentioned that Nash has that syndrome. So what the schizophrenia has to do with a thing called the Game Theory? Are those people estimating the Game Theory? Or are they estimating the mental condition of John Nash? That is a very interesting detail about writings of the Game Theory. 

Or the article is written in the spirit that something like a denial of vaccines is somehow "cool". Those texts are also appealed to the vanity of people. "Why I must take vaccines"? 

Other people are taking them, but why should I"? I have the right to say "no", and who cares about the hospital places that are reserved for me"? The corona-passes show that the person is taken the vaccines. But the deliverer of the disinformation appeals to selfishness and vanity. 

If we believe those people we should think like this: other people should sit inside. And all things must be closed because somebody doesn't want to take vaccines.

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...
