How does the Internet effects history writing, from the point of view of 50 years in the future?

When a historian writes a book we must ask should that book please the audience? If research brings something new but uncomfortable things about the well-known person, should that thing keep secret? Or should that thing tell to the whole world? Even if that thing is breaking the myth or legend the historian should uncover those things. But there are always people who are not accepting something. 

Should the researcher tell only things that people want to hear? Or should they uncover also other things? Those things are sometimes hidden from a great audience because they are uncomfortable. And what would you think about the cases like some respected statesman changing the land area of the homeland to the half-liter whiskey bottle? Should people know about that kind of thing? That thing is an example and not basing the real case. In some cases, the people who were the close comrades of some great person are covering the myths very sharply. 

And if something is against the public image of some person that thing causes anger. The criticism is a nice thing. But it doesn't mean that the researcher should lynch. Because the text that this person would not please somebody. If some text causes a violent reaction that means it has mean. Meanless texts don't bring cat-size letters on the front page of the newspapers. 

What historians will write about us 50 years later? What kind of sources do they use? Today researchers are researching the people. Those who lived about 50 years ago use their diaries as the source. When we are thinking about things like Facebook and other social media. Things what those people wrote on social media meant to publish. In social media, people want to introduce themselves from the best point of view. 

And that's why some people say that social media is not a trustworthy source about the things how people are handling things and how people think about something. But is diary or old fashion paper writing the objective port to the mind of people? The thing is that diaries are always the window to thoughts about people. 

But still, there is one thing, that we must remember. The writings that are written in diaries are the things that people want to read later. So diaries are also offering a window to the mind of the person. But when a person writes things like diaries there is still the opinion of how the writer wants to handle things. When we are writing diaries there is always the possibility that the diary is not introducing all truth. 

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

Should researchers write only things that the audience wants to read? Or should they also write about things that might be uncomfortable for somebody? 

The meanless looking things can be great things of the private life of the person whose biography is written. And should that kind of thing also bring in the front of the eyes of the readers? 

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

The person who writes the diaries might remember that some other person can read it. So there might be only things, what the writer of diary wants to handle. But how trustworthy diary is anyway? The thing is that there are many types of diaries. And some diaries meant for supporting the decisions. 

The project diaries are meant to tell the project team what is done in the project. But when we are thinking about personal diaries, which are not meant for a public audience, we must remember that they might involve things that are not nice to read. 

So should the historian remove things like the drinking problem from the research which object is the person who died a couple of tens of years ago? This is a good question. The fact is that the heirloom of the person might not want to handle that kind of thing in public. 

But when we are thinking about the things like the statesmen or very public people. That kind of thing affects the decisions. When we are thinking of some people as idols or national heroes, we want to see them as the "pure boys". We don't want to hear things like alcoholism because it breaks the myth in front of our eyes.

That is one problematic thing in the research of history we always offend somebody's emotions. There is always somebody who doesn't like that personal life of some respected person hides tragedies. And that thing is problematic. If the historian writes only things that are supporting the myths that means the research is meanless. 

The purpose of research is to bring new points of the way to those topics. If the researcher just repeats the mantras that are told before. Or refer to some other texts that thing would not bring new things in the topics. Those texts and tales can be very nice to read.

But they are not research. The writer can make some research for the book. But we must remember that they are not meant for study books. Maybe there are some historical characters. But they are novels or fiction. Those books are sold in the bookstore. Some of them are found in Christmas gifts. But their place is on the fiction shelf.

Thoughts about the book "Neuromancer".

Thoughts about the book "Neuromancer".

This is the tale of the ultimate net addiction.The classic book n the cyberpunk sector is the book "Neuromancer", what is handling the thing, what is called the hybridization of the human and Internet. In the book, the heroes would travel in the expanding virtual reality by using the brain core stimulation. This book is the tale of many things and one of them is the ultimate version of net addiction.

What would you think, if your passion centers in the brains would be stimulated for years by using electric stimulation? And that experience is connected with the feelings, that you can fly like a Peter Pan or some kind of superman. or you will be free from the limits of natural laws and select the creature that you want. You can be a man or woman or even a cat or some bird, whatever you want.  Everything happens in virtual reality, what you feel like reality. So that kind of thing would open the new level of the net addiction.

This kind of system is extremely dangerous in the wrong hands, and this is the thing, that we must realize when we are creating technology, which allows the embedding of the human mind and computer.   That thing would cause extreme addiction. The thing in that book is that the person cannot even realize when being in the virtual reality called "the matrix".

Sometimes when I read this kind of stuff, I wonder, how those fictional heroes could even realize, that they are awake or what is the border between the virtual and real reality? Sometimes, when I think about this kind of thing, I remember the example case, where the child says that " I saw a dream, that I saw a dream".

I have permission to use that example because I was that child. And I wondered how many layers the dream can have? Can we have multiple internal layers of awareness? If we are thinking the matrix as the multiple layers of the virtual spaces, what is communicating with human brains, we can think also a very interesting thing, to use the matrix as the dangerous tool.

Of course, the matrix is dangerous for its users, because they can just sit or lay at the room, and if they do not realize that they are in virtual reality, they can just die because they don't realize that they must eat or drink. This kind of thing makes this thing more dangerous than people ever thought. If we are thinking the matrix as the mixture of dream and virtual reality we can say one thing.

That thing that can be called a virtual dream would allow us to transfer any memory of the other person to their memory. So in the world of Cyberpunk, that thing would be used as entertainment. But what if we can create a computer, what can be controlled by using brain waves, and then we would go to the Internet for the little virtual trip,.what would we do?

By using virtual reality, we could see things, than we ever thought. If we can navigate the Internet by using our brainwaves and copy the experiences of other people, we can feel total freedom. We can get some experiences from another gender, and that thing might feel interesting. But we can also hack databases and other things more effective.

So in those cases, we can face very dangerous thing, and that thing is that the protective systems can send the killing electric shock to the socket if the unauthorized use is detected. But by using this kind of system, what is connecting the entire humanity to the Internet, we could make the ultimate tool, or ultimate enemy, the decision is the people, who are making this kind of thing.

Thoughts about Carl Sagan's book "Contact"

Thoughts about Carl Sagan's book "Contact"

Could this be a dream or real?

In this book astronomer, Carl Sagan introduced one of the weirdest ways to travel in the universe. That thing is that the ball-shaped spacecraft can turn to the black hole and then that capsule could travel to Vega and other stars. But there is a couple of things, what we must remember before we would justify the ideas of this book, and those things are bringing crazy ideas in my mind.

Maybe Sagan's idea was that the space journey would be virtual, and made by using brain core stimulation by using radio waves, what is targeted to person, who is in the capsule. That means that the hypothetical humanoids would send the Pythagorean theorem to humans, that they can adjust their systems to operate perfectly and effectively, and the communication would happen by using nano-sized black holes, what the radio signals could pass. But I will write about that thing later in this text.

Vega doesn't have a planetary system

This thing doesn't matter, because Vega would be a suitable star for high power spaceborne radio telescopes. Those telescopes would not need a planetary system for working, and the massive robot factories or so-called "Von Neumann machines" or the robots, what are controlled highly sophisticated artificial intelligence can make those structures by using the material, what they can find from asteroids, what is orbiting Vega.

If those hypothetical aliens use this kind of technology, they would send automatic systems to other solar systems. If there is found the planets, the artificial intelligence might have orders to start research those planets. And if some of them have an atmosphere or some other marks for intelligent life, the robots might wait for orders, how to continue this operation.

But if the planets would not found, the craft would simply start to build those giant radio telescopes, and those aliens might use them in many operations, and the most fascinating thought might be, that they could adjust the brightness of the stars. The system could operate by those telescopes, what is storing the energy from the star, and then sending radio waves to the star, what will start to shine brighter. And when the radio transmission would end, the star would lose its brightness. Turning those hypothetical telescopes might happen by using the ion rockets. There could be also found space stations, what those hypothetical humanoids would use to research other species.

Traveling between stars can be happened by using quantum teleportation.

Those telescopes can be used as many other things and one of them would be using those high power radio transmitters is to load extremely powerful energy load to the space capsule. That thing can cause that the time would move slower in the capsule and this thing would open road to the stars.

If the mass of the spacecraft would increase very much the time inside the capsule would slow, and this effect allows the crew to travel longer. But the speed of the craft would be like normal spacecraft, and the journey to stars would take a very long time if we will observe the craft from the outer side. The crew inside the capsule would fly to another star, and maybe return, but people who they left behind will be dead.

Making a virtual journey

There is another way to travel to stars, and that thing is to use a journey by using very advanced virtual reality technology. In that technology, the craft would hover in the magnet field, and in there would transmit the radio signals. Those radio signals might be collected from the space telescopes.

Or they could send from other civilizations. High-power electric fields cause electromagnetic dreams, and if the ball-shaped structure will float in the magnet field, that thing can cause the artificial telepathic phenomenon. That kind of system can allow the virtual travel to another solar system if we would get the EEG of humanoids in the hands.

And that's why Carl Sagan would write that the humanoids would send the Pythagorean theorem to people. They would want to adjust their systems, that their transmit would start, and when people are thinking this theorem, that brain curve can use to adjust the system to the right frequency, as I have written earlier in this text.  Of course, those systems can be used to test things like MKULTRA, or some other mind control project, which means that the system's ability to create artificial memories, what are made by using electromagnetic radiation.

The way to get support for own opinions

The way to get support for own opinions

One of the best ways to get support for the opinions is to write the book for supporting the thing, what might be actually pure opinion. The thing is that the book is a good way to show the "official way of view" of something, and of course, if I would be the leader of some society, I would give that book for every person to show, that they are supporting my opinion. The thing is very interesting in the cases of social media and written literature, which is printed on paper.

The paper print would make things more trustable than the thing, what we are writing on the Internet, but in fact, there are many writings, what are basically the opinions. The opinion is different than pure scientific writings, and in fact, when we are introducing some theories on the Internet, we are writing about opinions.  When we are thinking about the lifeforms, what might be totally different than we are, we are writing about a thing, what is coming straight from our imaginations.

Actually, there are many people who have written the instructions, how we should behave on the Internet, and the thing is that people have the right to show their opinions in some things, what might be far away from some other people opinions, or maybe the cosmological things and extraterrestrial life-forms are not some person's hobby. Maybe they want to follow some other things like advancing of the financial environment. Or maybe they just watch sports on the TV sets.

That kind of things is their own business. And maybe they are not interested in other people. Maybe they are interesting only things, which are funny. And I would also like to read positive news from the Internet. But the world is a tough place for living, and we are living in a turbulent environment, where the changes happen all the time. When we are talking about things, like living conditions of the mokes somewhere in Africa, we are facing the thing, that bad environment would hurt those animals in Africa as well as in Europe.

And maybe we are starting to think that we cannot hide the bad things anymore by transferring the food production to some other country, and say that our legislation is well done.  And then the social media will leak the pictures of reality in the faces of all people. Or it can share the manipulated truth. In that case, the persons would cheese the sick animals for their pictures, and then everything would seem worse, that it really is.

Another way is to make stories only about the farms, where the things are not all right, and then say that the situation is similar in all other farms. That is called the "selective use of sources". That means that the person takes only the samples or cases, what supports own interests and leave the rest out from the report. And that kind of thing can give the wrong information about the common situation in some area. So this is the thing, what we should remember when we are using the Internet. The information can be polarized, and that means that the homepages, what seems like trustable might actually maintain by some lobby. And this is the thing, what makes social media so complicated. Social media can rise things in front of the public eye what have kept silent but it also can give the wrong image of some cases.
