New research claims that Russian Twitter campaigns in 2016 didn't change voting behavior.



The Russian trolling campaigns have one problem. Makers of those campaigns believe in the authority and selfish ideology. So those campaigns are telling ideology, that is against the values of most Western people. Or those values against the ideology of Western social media users. Another thing that decreases the effectiveness of Russian trolling campaigns is that people know more about Russian and Russian internal affairs than in the past.  

The third thing that is is decreasing the effect of Russian troll campaigns is that people afraid that somebody will target them for cheating and trolls. If people are afraid to join those groups where propaganda- or information operations happen. Delivered information would not reach their targets.

We know that many people are afraid of trolls and other kinds of things. And we are all faced with cheating and trolling. The Russian trolls are operating under the control of the Russian government. And they sometimes use very bad language and terms like "bitch" about their targets. So, those words might seem funny, but they belong to some child's mouth. 

The thing is that criticizing Russian trolls is prohibited in Russia. The Russian government also uses trolls in the internal political area. If somebody doesn't believe Putin. And shows loyalty to the Russian government, that thing causes a very bad situation for a person who dares to talk against the government. The person who doesn't support the Russian government and the Ukraine war is automatically a Western agent. 

The difference between Western and Russian culture is that Western people are more critical than Russian people. The key element in Russian ideology is that "government's leaders are wise men, who are above the society". That is why nobody should review those people. The role of regular citizens is just to obey their leaders. If somebody is against their leaders that means discrimination, and that happens immediately.

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...

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...
