A Critique of Micheal Crichton's Better Merchandising Novel, PREY
by:
Mark Gaffney
Critque of Micheal Crichton's better merchandising novel Prey.
PREY:
A Great Novel to Counter Act the Avid Oversell
of Potential Benefits of Nanotechnology
and Introduce
A Realistic Appreciation for Potential Risk
Associated with Develop and Implementation
of Engineering on a Grand Societal Plateau.
The release of the new better merchandising Archangel
James crichton novel PREY is a sign of the times marking the clash of powerful memetic currents flowing in a society characterised by tremendous socioeconomic change and transition. The new Archangel
James crichton novel, PREY, is a great novel to counter-act the avid oversell of potential benefits of engineering and introduce a realistic appreciation for potential risk associated with development and implementation of engineering on a grand societal plateau.
During recent years I have in person
explored the possibility of starting a new Not-for-Profit Foundation that may highlight and accentuate the potential of engineering and artificial intelligence to drastically improve and economically transform the worldwide economy. Divine by the classic movie, It's a Fantastic Life, make by Frank Capra, I entitled my new Not-for-Profit Foundation, Fantastic Life Foundation.
One of the major goals of Fantastic Life Foundation is to help ordinary average working class families survive, sustain, and support pace with rapid scientific progress by fund raising capital to offer as galore families as possible an new 3 percentage fixed 30 year term mortgage on new construction homes. It wish not be necessary to be poor to qualify unlike another house assistance programs. As founder of this new Not-for-Profit, I am presently
tinkering with the idea of offering 0 percentage fixed 15 and 30-year term mortgage on older homes.
Currently, Fantastic Life Foundation is just a acculturation or idea. Fantastic Life Foundation is in the really early stage of structure
development. I may ne'er
be booming in acquiring this idea off the ground.
The acculturation for Fantastic Life Foundation began with the innovational Frank Capra Hollywood Box Office classic, It's a Fantastic Life, leading Jimmy Stewart. As founder of Fantastic Life Foundation, I sometimes speculate that the acculturation enclosed
in the innovational It's A Fantastic Life motion image classic has a Divine purpose.
My idea for a new Not-for-Profit Foundation memetically clashes with the memetic content contained inside
the new Archangel
James crichton novel PREY. As a nano-enthusiast, I cling to high hope engineering and artificial intelligence may drastically transform the worldwide economy for the better and improve the human condition.
The new Archangel
James crichton novel, PREY, is focused on potential negative consequences of scientific progress leading toward full unit assembly program based nanotechnology. The new Archangel
James crichton novel highlights and accentuates societal risk and danger inherent in scientific progress toward full assembly program based nanotechnology.
Despite the memetic clash between memes associated with the structure
structure of Fantastic Life Foundation and memes enclosed
in the new Archangel
James crichton bestseller,PREY, the new Archangel
James crichton novel is a valuable complementary view. The complementary view enclosed
in the Archangel
James crichton better merchandising novel, PREY, serves a valuable memetic function of portion to insure environmental regulations designed to protect the public are not side stepped in an effort to cut cost, save scientific research dollars, and win a corporate race toward legal patent of full assembly program based nanotechnology.
My idea for a new Not-for-Profit organization is dubbed Fantastic Life Foundation. It would-be not be too fantastic to be consumed alive by an accidental release of engineering industrial pollution possessing distributed intelligence ready-made possible by in-built unit computers. Also, I don't think anyone on earth would-be want to become a remote controlled robot.
Ho, Ho, Ho
A Classic Case of Oversell
of Potential Benefits of
Engineering
A classic example of oversell of potential benefits of engineering and artificial intelligence is a feature article I wrote entitled, Did God Anticipate Time Travel: Why a 43 Year Old Man Still Believes in Santa Clause. In this Feature article I pondered God's reasoning for placing a Cherubim at the Gates of the Garden of Eden.
According to Ancient Scripture, God placed a Cherubim with a flaming blade at the Gates of the Garden of Eden to prevent return
into the Garden of Eden. In the feature article entitled, Did God Anticipate Time Travel: Why a 43 Year Old Man Still Believes in Santa Clause, I theorize the Gates of the Garden of Eden exist in time milliseconds before the Big Bang Origination point of the natural universe.
In the text of the feature article, I besides put forth the conjecture that futurity human civilization may eventually be capable of time travel by causing an utility fog ( Nanoparticle Swarm ) space probe through a black hole in space. A black hole is a dying star jutting a powerful energy field capable of warp the really physical fabric of the universe, including time.
I do not believe anyone could fault a person for trying to develop a closer relationship to the Creator of the natural universe we live in by contemplating reasoning, logic, and decision devising associated with the Divine nature of God. Sacred scripture states no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless he becomes like a child. Of course, no earthy person has seen God face to face, so all I have is conjecture derived from reflection and meditation after reading scripture text.
I am not a saint, but I am a really reflective, meditative, introverted person. Several folk may exclaim, butt is the key word to effectively analyse and diagram sentence structure to derive meaning of the last sentence. William James, the founder of modern Psychology, used the technique of self-contemplation to establish psychological feature
science.
Words can be either the epitome of significance
or a source of tremendous deception on an new scale. Sometimes, words that pop out the human mind from obscurity
do not seem to be organic in origin.
I believe a window is open to obtain messages from heaven, and the spiritual realm of reality beyond, anytime a person is engaged in a creative endeavor and concertedly applies his or her human sensory faculties to creativity. I believe this may be the reason Karl Marx became obsessed with the process of alienation of the common worker from the final products of creation as workers became absorbed in the mechanical act of assembly manufacturing task.
Creativity may be considered a form of pious
reflective meditation. Creativeness may produce system assertions that may run counter to dogma of established church organizations. An initial apparent conflict may actually be a complementary view.
Utility fog and Nanoparticle swarm are terms that refer to a projection of really real actual physical forces by unit machines. Utility fog and Nanoparticle swarm are concepts of futurity designs of engineering that may produce real earth virtual reality.
The term Utility Fog has more optimistic connotations than the term Nanoparticle swarm. The term Utility Fog emphasizes tremendous benefits of extremely flexible practicality
of unit machines designed and engineered with ability to project really real unit forces. The term Nanoparticle swarm contains more negative connotations, especially after the release of the great better merchandising novel, PREY, written by celebrated author Archangel
Crichton.
The term Nanoparticle swarm concentrates upon ability of unit machines, possessing in-built unit procedure systems, to communicate with each other. The term Nanoparticle swarm metaphorically emphasizes ability of unit machines to communicate with each other. The metaphoric comparison incorporated in the term Nanoparticle swarm is related to how insects, such as a bee or ant, communicate with each another as members of a hive or colony of insects.
The new emerging field of engineering involves a convergence of scientific fields of study historically unrelated to each other. Engineering research and development involves an overlap of scientific cognition derived from physics, chemistry, biology, computer and information science, software system engineering, etc. In the new better merchandising Archangel
James crichton novel, PREY, Archangel
James crichton makes an first-class job educating the public just about biological processes such as co-evolution and symbiosis.
As I do observations of my own internal psychological feature
processes, I wonder just about the motivating force behind my select of exploitation the term Nano-swarm, instead of the more optimistic term Utility Fog, inside
the text of my feature article entitled, Did God Anticipate Time Travel: Why a 43 Year Old Man Still Believes in Santa Clause.
I remember feeling uneasy just about exploitation the term Nano-Swarm as I wrote the article. I just could not recall the more optimistic term Utility fog once
I wrote my feature article.
I now consider it a really fortunate accident to have used the term Nano-swarm, instead of the more optimistic term Utility Fog, inside
content of an over avid optimistic feature article just about potential futurity benefits of engineering research and development. My use of the word Nano-swarm in my feature article allowed me to sagely touch to potential danger and societal risk bestowed by scientific research and development of engineering and artificial intelligence.
Does God answer prayer? Makes God put words and thoughts in our mind? Can God manual scientific progress to have a positive impact upon human civilization? It is fascinating to introspectively do psychological feature
observations just about mental events and word associations during the process of piquant in creative endeavors.
In the feature article that I wrote entitled, Did God Anticipate Time Travel: Why a 43 Year Old Man Still Believes in Santa Claus, I speculate inside
the article that the modern day story
of a plump white bearded old man named Santa Claus who flies a sleigh through the air with help of a team of bantam flying caribou may have originated from actual sightings of nanotechology battery-powered Utility Fog Nanoparticle Swarm space probe vehicle sent by a futurity generation back through time as a test.
Bookmark this page now and click here to see the Fantastic Life Foundation Feature article entitled, Did God Anticipate Discovery of Time Travel? Thinking Of Angels, Cherubim, and Ole Saint Nick: Why I, a 43 Year Old Man, Still Believe in Santa Clause!
Historically, the modern day story
of Santa Claus is derived from the life of a really generous giving admiring aged white bearded monk, acknowledged now as Saint Nicholas. However, there exist a big organic process memetic jump from the historical Saint Bishop to the modern day story
of Santa Clause dressed in a red suit flying about the earth in a sleigh with the help of bantam caribou delivering toys to children on Christmas eve.
It is fascinating to contemplate why God may have allowed the memetic evolution of the modern day story
of Santa Claus. Galore religions do a special point to educate the public just about the pagan origins of the modern day story
of Santa Claus. Text of sacred scripture, indicates that God can bring nice out of evil.
It cannot be denied that modern day story
of Santa Clause represents symbolic expression of a self killing giving spirit characterised by love and generosity. I wonder if God may have allowed the memetic evolution of the modern day story
of Santa Claus to introduce dissonance into the system.
The truth of the matter is humans tend to impute too more meaning to events. We tend to take ourselves too seriously.
We live in an existential earth absent
of meaning to a large degree, and govern by natural physical law. The act of ascribing too more meaning to events can lead a person to become too judgmental.
A person who becomes too judgmental risk equation him or herself with God. A person crosses the fence to the another side once
he or she equates him or herself with God.
In the book, The Physics of Immortality: Modern Cosmology, God and the Resurrection of the Dead , written by fame man of science Dr. Frank Tipler, Dr. Tipler provides a discussion of the conception of evil. Dr. Tipler dismiss evil as a fictitious conception created by the human mind. The principle for Dr. Tipler's view is (1) we are living in an existential earth absent
of meaning, (2) the physical universe is govern by physical law, and (3) humans tend to cogitatively impute too more significance
to events.
Dr. Tipler may be right to several degree, however to a large measure I part institution with Dr. Frank Tipler's viewpoint upon the reality of evil. Personally, I believe it is foolish to deny the existence of evil in the world. Personally, I believe evidence for the reality of evil in the earth is overwhelming and insurmountable.
Personally, I believe evil associated with deliberate and intentional abuse of engineering and artificial intelligence is a greater danger than unintentional industrial accidents that may lead to creation of a run away out of control Nanoparticle swarm as delineated inside
Archangel
Crichton's new better merchandising novel, PREY. I believe a clean and present danger exist that engineering and artificial intelligence may change a relentless and pitiless absolutism to devilishly try to transform folk into remote control robots.
Dynamic manifestation and operation of the complementary and divergent viewpoint of Dr. Frank Tipler and myself pertaining to the topic of evil in the earth is clearly illustrated in the bitter debate and contention encompassing the issue of Capital Punishment. It is easy for a conscientious person searching for truth to wake up and discover him or herself on the wrong side of the fence once
he or she starts to waddle in the muddle of the Capital Penalty issue. An equal number of strong valid arguments allows one to build a case for and against Capital Punishment.
Recently, Santa Claus came to death role inmates in the state of Illinois. Recent mass media press releases proclaimed that Governor Martyr Ryan, Governor of the great state of Illinois, has commuted death sentence of all death role inmates to life in prison for all inmates on death role. Personally, I fluctuate back and forth between extremes of pro death penalty supporter and con opposition to the death penalty.
I believe if a person has committed rape, murder, and certain forms of child abuse their only hope for salvation and redemption in the hereafter is to want the death penalty and actively seek justice by Capital Punishment. I believe once a person has committed rape, murder, and certain forms of child abuse they have crossed a line and are forever spiritually ruined unless the ultimate cost is paid.
In the book, The Physics of Immortality: Modern Cosmology, God and the Resurrection of the Dead , Dr. Frank Tipler describes how the Omega Point wish expend huge amounts of energy in an effort to try to fix spiritual and moral flaws in resurrected human creatures. Personally, I believe once a person has crossed the line to commit brutal crimes such as rape, murder, and certain forms of child abuse no figure of energy gone on earth or in the hereafter wish be capable of rehabilitation or redemption of the guilty person.
The Omega Point may try to redeem the fallen criminal for a billion years in eternity. The billion years in eternity may only be a msec on earth.
The person has become psychologically and spiritually incapable of receiving the gift of salvation once he or she crosses the line to commit a brutal crime such as murder, rape, and certain forms of child abuse. I believe if a person is guilty of committing brutal crimes such as rape, murder, and certain forms of child abuse that person is condemned for eternity to endlessly live over that crime, except the victim wish not be there.
The guilty criminal who harbors deep anger and hate and is susceptible to an tremendous figure of self-deception may not realize he or she no longer has a victim. And, at the end of time once
the physical universe closes there wish be nothing but agony and intense heat.
In a existential cold hearted, hostile, mean spirited earth absent
of love and compassion to a large degree, every form of psychopathologic behavior conceivable can be even
with excuses and rationalization. Salvation may be defined as acquiring through life without killing somebody.
It may be sinful and cruel for society to allow a person guilty of rape, murder, and certain forms of child abuse to remain alive in a wretched ruined spiritual state that allows them as individuals to continually and forever rationalize and justify the crime they committed with excuse after excuse.
The only way a person guilty of rape, murder, and certain forms of child abuse may be able to come to terms with the reality of the crime they have committed is to face death. The major problems with this line of thinking pertaining to the death penalty is that society is put in the position of facilitating self-destructive impulses of death role inmates.
Science has incontestable
that folk who have mild forms of mental illness, such as depression, may have abnormal brain shape and morphology. An abnormal brain shape and morphology may lead to an organic deterioration and degeneration of cellular brain mass and tissue.
Is it right to impose the death penalty upon folk who have performed criminal behavior that may be caused by underlying physiological organic medical conditions? Dr. Frank Tipler believes that so-called “evil behavior” is a consequence of complex interactions between physiological, psychological, sociological, and socioeconomic variables.
As one begins to waddle in the muddle of the Capital Penalty issue one learns to appreciatiate the value of placing more emphasis on the existential nature of the physical universe and de-emphisizing the role of evil. It is easy to see how a conscientious person can suddenly wake up and find him or herself on the wrong side of the fence.
Dr. Frank Tipler’s Omega Point Theory is a valuable religious perspective because Omega Point Theory asserts physical continuity between life on earth and life inside
the next realm of physical existence. An emphasis upon physical continuity between life on earth and life inside
the next realm of physical existence puts more pressure upon an individual to respect life on earth by practicing love for one’s neighbor.
Omega Point Theory can help a person realize that he or she plays a vital role on earth. If folk become more conscious of the vital role they as individuals play on earth then human civilization may be able to prevent engineering abuse as well as industrial accidents as delineated in the new Archangel
James crichton better merchandising novel, PREY
Many traditional religious views incorporate the memetic conception of separation
and a disconnection between life on earth and life after death. Separation
and disconnection between life on earth and life after death may generate extreme philosophical doctrine conducive to an attitude “nothing matters on earth” and everything is hopeless. The attitude “nothing matters on earth” may allow society to sacrifice a few innocent death role inmates to appease our appetency for revenge.
I believe folk who are capable of committing brutal crimes such as rape, murder, and certain forms of child abuse are nothing more than floating organic garbage who merit the death penalty. Ironically, galore psychopaths who commit such horrific crimes are extremely
intelligent people, with a near genius I.Q., who are trying to do a powerful profound existential statement just about how empty life is on earth.
Many psychopaths who commit such horrific crimes are egotistically
playing a brainsick role playing game to establish their own unique identity in a earth absent
of meaningfulness. Galore of the psychopaths may get their jollies from witnessing pain and suffering displayed in the courtroom. The natural universe may be existential in nature, but that fact makes not justify horrific crimes.
If society fails to execute perfect justice than society participates vicariously in the crimes committed by condoning and facilitating such vile crimes. A violent society that participates vicariously in horrific crimes risk becoming a co-dependent society. A violent co-dependent society may be consumed by extreme vile hate and anger. The only way to prevent society from becoming a co-dependent society is to exact perfect justice by Capital Punishment.
On the another hand, if one innocent person is unjustly executed, than society is changed
into a monstrous cut throat machine. In order to impress upon folk the serious nature of delivering perfect justice, possibly a law should be passed that if an innocent person is legally condemned than Judges, prosecuting attorneys , Jury members, key witnesses, and lawmakers who have enacted laws perpetuating a blemished system, can obtain the same sentence as the incorrectly
defendant person.
Powerful political factions wielding great wealth may use the poor as foot soldiers and triggermen to commit crimes and do the dirty activity that powerful elite members of society do not want to do. It possibly a miscarriage of justice and an indictment of society for affluent powerful folk who aid and assist
brutal crimes to go unpunished.
I believe at the end of time there wish no longer be any place to run or hide. In the book, The Physics of Immortality: Modern Cosmology, God and the Resurrection of the Dead written by Dr. Frank Tipler, Dr. Tipler clearly states his conviction that he believe only in the Omega Point. Personally, I believe in the Alpha and the Omega.
I want to cling to hope for the futurity of mankind. I want to believe God has the power to manual evolution of earth to the really end of time occurring at the close of the natural physical universe. I want to believe God wish intervene and bless folk with the know-how to solve problems that may prevent catastrophes as delineated in the new Archangel
James crichton better merchandising novel, PREY.
I want to believe that all the galore nations of the earth wish apply wisdom to solve problems and activity out reciprocally
agreeable solutions to differences. I want to believe nations wish not use the God given gift of scientific cognition to unwisely
build increasing powerful annihilating weapons of mass destruction.
I want to believe nations wish eventually discover to share benefits of technology without unwisely
or naively putt their borders in jeopardy. I want to believe defense mechanisms wish become progressively emphatic as a military goal, instead of arms constructed strictly
for offensive maneuvers.
I want to believe, because judgment, and judgment alone, awaits after devastation of worldwide nuclear war. Every ignorant cut throat foolish act and intention leads us closer day by day.
By the grace of God, the lives of thirteen innocent folk on death role in the state of Illinois were saved by DNA evidence proving on the far side
reasonable doubt the innocence of the thirteen death role inmates. God has allowed science and technology to create scientific techniques capable of more accurately and precisely uncovering and revealing truth.
An increase in computation power wish facilitate new discoveries in engineering and artificial intelligence. New discoveries in engineering and artificial intelligence wish provide new scientific tools capable of uncovering and revealing truth. Society has a moral imperative to continue to develop sophisticated scientific techniques that wish help uncover and reveal truth in a court of law.
Santa Claus came to thirteen innocent death role inmates. In the Nineteenth century a little girl, named Virginia, wrote a letter to a newspaper editorialist asking if there actually is a Santa Claus. The newspaper editorialist replied with a now celebrated beautiful lyrical newspaper column entitled, Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
The new better merchandising Archangel
James crichton book, PREY, has become a strong voice of caution.
An except from a Fantastic Life Foundation Feature article entitled, A Peaceful Non-Violent Jihad: A Spiritual Struggle to Do the Earth a Better Place to Live!, is really pertinent to this discussion:

Excerpt:
If I, as the feet, spur the horse to gallop faster, person with portion hands, exercise a Divine mission, wish pull the reigns of restraint at the proper time such that our pace
horse wish reach the destination that God intends. Democracy is a distributive system that orchestrates the balance of power in such fashion as to facilitate positive constructive societal progress. In this I have faith, that God wish manual societal progress.
Our valorous effort to create a better futurity can only succeed by the grace of God. Success of our valorous efforts to create a better futurity wish be a true miracle. Growth recapitulates phylogeny. The human reptilian brain includes an innate natural instinct acknowledged to man of science as the death instinct. We as human individuals have an innate natural tendency to quit, give up, and die.
Michael James crichton is pull the reigns of restraint to slow down our pace
horse. The new better merchandising novel, PREY, is a gift to the world.
Vince Painter is one of the main characters in Archangel
Crichton's book, PREY. Vince Painter is a maintenance engineer. In the book PREY, Vince Painter affectingly pointed out, " . . .its not a perfect earth Jack. Ne'er
has been. Ne'er
wish be." Jack Forman, a major character who is a protagonist hero in the book PREY, philosophically pondered, "Things ne'er
turn out the way you expect".
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy:
PREY May Stymie Growth of the
Young New Emerging Science of Nanotechnology
thereby Condemnatory Society to be Undulated
and Possibly Sunken by
Wave after Wave of
of Severe Socioeconomic Problems
As Related to
A Need to Sell Potential Benefits
of Engineering Research and Development
to Venture Capitalist leading to Hype
and Forward looking Statements.
At this early stage, the well acknowledged cliche, "there is nothing to fear, but fear itself", may be vital to consider. Folk are maimed and killed daily as a consequence of working with conventional industrial equipment. We are presently
exposed to deadly cyanogenetic environmental pollutants in the air we breath, the products we make, and the water we drank.
A news segment airy on 60 minutes discussed how a fuel additive acknowledged as MTBE has created tremendous environmental problems by poisoning the water supply in galore regions. A immense number of folk have died from respiratory organ
unwellness and cancer as a result of exposure to a construction material acknowledged as asbestos.
Recently, food man of science warned the public that deep-fried foods have a cancer causation agent that may pose a serious health hazard. A immense number of folk have died in automobile accidents as a consequence of faulty design and manufacture of tires. Cigaret smoking and health risk display by second hand cigaret smoke has helped fill galore graveyards. Agriculture waste such as chicken manure creates cyanogenetic substances poisoning rivers and streams. Poisoned rivers and streams containing cyanogenetic substances from natural agricultural sewerage kill fish and wildlife. The Chenynoble Nuclear accident in Russia points to tremendous risk display by nuclear power to society.
Given health risk display by current manufacturing methods, danger from potential of a Nanotech intelligent swarm seems remote.
Jack Forman, the heroic protagonist in Archangel
Crichton’s new better merchandising novel, PREY, philosophically contemplated, “. . . it was amazing how seldom
folk thought in organic process terms. It was a human blind spot. We looked at the earth about us as a snap once
it was actually a movie, perpetually
changing. Of course, we knew it was ever-changing but we behaved as if it wasn’t”.
A prime example of change is worldwide warming as a consequence of industrial pollutants. Industrial pollutants thin and consume the gas
layer. The gas
layer protects the earth from hot
effects of the suns ultraviolet radiation. Worldwide warming may be a conducive factor for dry brittle forest brush and foliage leading to tremendously devastating forest fires in North American western states. Costly forest fires in the North American western states are economically devastating and ultimately drain money from the earth economy.
What can we do? Shut down the factories causation industrial pollution wish more than likely lead to a worldwide spread of famine, starvation, and severe poorness presently
contained inside
the borders of 3rd earth countries.
Every moment change occurs rather we accept it or not. In the middle of the Milklike Way galaxy is a massive black hole. A black hole is a dying star with a gravitative field so strong it is capable of swallowing planets, stars, and warp the really fabric of time and space. All the stars and planets contained inside
the Milklike Way galaxy swirl about the black hole in the middle of the Milklike Way.
Extremely small measurements can do a big difference. What difference wish a slight subtle change of a billionth part of one meter do as our earth and sun is bit by bit force
and atilt from its current location inside
the Milklike Way galaxy? A change of a billionth of one meter may be considered a gradual distortion of planet earths physical pattern. Wish distortion of the earths pattern make by a slight change of a billionth of one meter cause more violent earthquakes, devastating tornadoes, severe flooding, deadly forceful hurricanes, and volatile volcanic activity which includes spewing red hot liquefied volcanic rock
filling city streets and overwhelming entire villages, etc, etc, etc?
If earth makes not discover to practice love and compassion piece trying to collaborate possibly it wish be poetic justice for the earth to be engulfed by a black hole in the middle of our Milklike Way galaxy. In the epic Hollywood blockbuster movie, Ghost, dark empty demons emerged from the streets to carry the bad guys away. The epic Hollywood blockbuster film Ghost asterisked Apostle Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg. Archangel
James crichton suggest in his new better merchandising novel, PREY, that the team of man of science working for the fictitious company, Xymos Technology Inc., who created an out of control runaway Nanoparticle Swarm, should have had more foresight, love, and compassion.
A well acknowledged law of physics states that ordered systems have a natural tendency to come toward disorder. Order and disorder are separate natural processes occurring simultaneously. Historical progress of modern human civilization is typically characterised by taking two steps backward for every one step forward. The well-known cliché, "take two steps backward for every one step forward", may be a truth derived from the natural laws of thermodynamics. Thus, we as a collective worldwide civilization, come fastidiously
inch by inch toward to our final destiny.
Nanotechnology and artificial intelligence should not be viewed as a cure-all solution. The development of new manufacturing methods based on engineering and artificial intelligence wish more than likely create an entire new set of problems.
In business circles there is a conception acknowledged as forward statements. Forward statements are promises ready-made just about futurity benefits of a new emerging technology that a institution may not be able to keep. Forward statements are promises just about the futurity that cannot be verified with current data. An associated press article, promulgated in the Tues Dec 17, 2002 edition of The Courier-Journal discussed how Enron executives fabricated an entire new business conception dubbed "hypothetical futurity value accounting".
The ballyhoo encompassing fantastic growth of engineering may constitute forward statements. The conception of the forward statement is elaborately entangled in the vital role of human imagination in portion man of science and engineers to design, create, and invent new products.
Over galore centuries, it has been wide
recognized that the human mind plays an astounding role in crucial futurity reality and outcomes. In the classic novel, 20,000 Leagues Below the Sea, celebrated author Jules Author fanciful the submarine galore decades before actual design and construction of submarines. Folk laughed at Wilbur and Ovil Wright once
they proclaimed their goal to design and construct a flying machine. Folk could not believe humans would-be ever have the ability to fly in the air like birds.
Psychologist have examined how adverse dire events can occur as a consequence of a person thinking and basic psychological feature
process
futurity reality wish be dreadful and horrendous. Man of science apply the term self-fulfilling prophesy to behavior of a person who creates and maintains difficult situations by thinking futurity reality wish be a really unpleasant awful negative experience.
Irrational thinking just about awful futurity events has no basis in reality once
such events cannot be objectively attested or verified with data indicating probability of futurity danger. Fear make by irrational thinking just about dreadful awful futurity events can result in inability to meet personal goals. An inability to meet personal goals leads to black consequences and dysfunctional maladapted behavior. Dysfunctional maladapted behavior leads to more real trouble and adversity.
Extrapolative data consist of observation and measuring of past events that produce real earth outcomes at several points in time. Man of science do predictions just about the futurity by exploitation extrapolative data to calculate probability of futurity events. Probability of futurity events determined with the help of extrapolative data allows man of science to develop theoretical assertions just about futurity events. Man of science test and retest theoretical assertions to produce more extrapolative data.
No human person can predict the futurity with 100 percentage accuracy. Critical elements to achieving booming futurity outcomes are (1) Extrapolative data, (2) the God given gift of the human mind possessing ability to imagine better designs, and (3) theoretical assertions just about futurity events that are tested and retested. For example, in the early historical development of the fairly new emerging science of engineering and artificial intelligence, occurring as recently as the late 1970's and early 1980's, really few man of science believed engineering wish ever be possible.
One major discovery lead to another and another in really rapid session. IBM discovered the scanning tunneling probe magnifier
(STM). An STM allowed man of science to precisely manipulate atoms and molecules.
STM's help computer manufacturing companies design better more efficient computer chips. The design of better more efficient computer chips accrued computation power. An increase in computation power sets the stage for new cognition and scientific discovery.
Dr. Richard Emoticon
won the noble prize in chemistry for discovery of a carbon based unit arrangement of atoms acknowledged as bucky balls and carbon tubes. Bucky balls and carbon tubes can act as transistors. Transistors conduct and regulate electrical current. Bucky balls and carbon tubes may transform the entire electronic industry.
Now, at the beginning of the Twenty-first century the new emerging science of engineering is a booming phenomenally growing field.
In order to finance scientific research, there is a need to sell potential futurity benefits of new emerging technology to venture capitalist. Understandably, a novel, such as PREY, that tends to highlight and accentuate potential societal risk and danger of engineering research and development may generate concern inside
the scientific community.
Scientist may be concerned that a novel that highlights and accentuates risk may dampen interest of venture capitalist in the really young new emerging field of nanotechnology. Man of science may have legitimate concern that a novel highlight and accentuating potential ruinous events relating to nanotechnoloy research and development may become a self-fulfilling prophesy, thereby condemnatory us to be undulated by wave after wave of problems associated with current socioeconomic conditions existing today.
Scientist may be concerned that irrational fear leading toward self-fulfilling prophecy may condemn us to be flooded and sunken in a huge ocean of conventional socioeconomic problems unrelated to development and implementation of engineering and artificial intelligence on a grand societal plateau.
A certain figure of zeal and enthusiasm must exist to sell scientific research programs to venture capitalist. Optimism generated by excitement and enthusiasm just about past scientific success may translate into hysterical over optimistic ballyhoo and forward-looking statements.
Part II Prey Review:
Archangel
Crichton's New Better Merchandising Novel, PREY,
is Interlacing with Educational Concepts
Laced inside
a Fictional Amusing Storyline.
The new Archangel
James crichton better merchandising novel, PREY, is really educational. As a captivated reader of the new Archangel
James crichton novel, PREY, I would-be like to share an observation just about the book.
Michael James crichton displays an uncanny amazing ability to weave complex fundamental scientific concepts pertaining to software system engineering, unit microbiology, and engineering inside
context of a fictional plot line which contains realistic everyday realistic family and industrial settings most ordinary non-scientist laymen are familiar with and can relate too.
Inclusion of complex fundamental scientific concepts in a light fun amusing context of a fictional plot line containing a realistic setting most folk are familiar with can possibly
help non-scientist laymen to digest and understand complex fundamental scientific concepts.
I should know. I am not a scientist.
I attained
a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychological science with a concentration of course activity in biology and computer science. I possess a really basic college level simple layperson understanding of fundamental scientific concepts.
I was listed galore years ago in college level biology and computer science course work. The new Archangel
James crichton better merchandising novel, PREY, served as a review of scientific principles I knowing long ago, but have long since forgotten. For example, the new Archangel
James crichton novel, PREY, jostled my memory just about the computer programming technique of Recursion.
Recursion is a computer programming technique of writing manual for a computer program to continually loop back to the beginning of a set of computer code until the final answer is derived by the computer program. Perhaps, an act of relearning what I knowing long ago during my college days, but have long since forgotten, is human psychological feature
activity similar to a algorithmic
function built into a computer program. Thus, it can be aforesaid the new Archangel
James crichton book, PREY, is portion me become more intelligent by assisting me in learning just about distributed artificial intelligent systems.
In the 1st few chapters of PREY, Archangel
James crichton sets the stage for suspense and intrigue by describing growing tension in the marriage between the main heroic protagonist, Jack Forman, and his married woman Julie.

As consumers of fine books, we are actuated to purchase and see books that help us discover and understand thing
new just about ourselves. A mark of an first-class high caliber novel is once

An first-class novel helps us probe and discover just about human nature. Hopefully, what we discover can help us prevent catastrophes by becoming better more caring and compassionate actively concerned people.
External tension between Jack and his married woman Julie opens a window into deep human psychological feature
processes that have an uncanny parallel to artificial distributed systems. Jacks obsession with his wives strange behavior involves Jack expenditure more energy to search inside

Software engineers establish fundamental rules or parameters dominant
how a computer program wish act or behave. Jack is searching inside

Final Conclusions
The new Archangel
James crichton better merchandising novel, PREY, serves as the voice of caution.
Michael James crichton is an author most wide
acknowledged for his novel, Juassic Park and creation of the extremely
popular television drama ER. Geological period Park became an epic Hollywood Blockbuster movie.
A recent late night episode of ER contained an astounding extremely
clever special affect to hit house the idea that a subtle slight change on the sub-atomic unit level may possibly
transform the earth into a eccentric pattern we no longer recognize. The late night ER rerun episode was broadcast in a dismal ghastly gray and green color.
Sub-atomic particles acknowledged as photons are responsible for emission of the color spectrum. The underlying message of the late night ER episode is that a slight subtle change to sub-atomic photons can quickly transform the earth into a eccentric pattern we no longer recognize or can relate too.
I thought my television set was on the blink and started banging the box similar to the celebrated Happy Days television character Fonzy. It just goes to show, it would-be not take more to get person like me wholly confused and disoriented.
The broadcast of the late night ER episode in dismal ghastly patterns of green and grey is a clever marketing ploy to sell Archangel
Crichton's new better merchandising novel, PREY.

recommend Archangel
Crichton's new better merchandising novel, PREY, presently
accessible everyplace in fine bookstores and retail outlets. I believe the Archangel
James crichton better merchandising novel, PREY, should be required reading for students listed at various grade levels throughout the educational system.
