As a mental health and wellness professional and someone who has personally experienced the effects of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), I am truly amazed by the advancements in technology and artificial intelligence that have led to the development of the iSync Wave brain device. This innovative tool, created by the South Korean company iMedisync, has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach cognitive issues and mental health disorders. The iSync Wave's ability to measure brain activity using Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG) and create a detailed 3D map of each brain area is a remarkable feat. By comparing an individual's brain map to an extensive database of thousands of people, the device can accurately identify cognitive impairments and help guide targeted treatments. When I volunteered to be the first patient in Israel to receive the PBM care treatment using the iSync Wave, I was astounded by the results. After just one 10-minute session, targeting specific brain areas with different frequencies, I experienced a significant improvement in my focus, speech, balance, and overall well-being. I am particularly excited about iMedisync's donation of the iSync Wave to help people in Israel who are dealing with trauma, anxiety, and PTSD. The ongoing validation of the device through collaborations with Herzog Hospital, Bar-Ilan University, and Haifa University is a crucial step in ensuring its effectiveness and widespread adoption. As we continue to explore the capabilities of the iSync Wave and integrate it into our healthcare system, I am confident that we will see a significant improvement in the lives of countless individuals struggling with cognitive impairments and mental health disorders. This technology represents a major leap forward in our understanding of the brain and our ability to provide targeted, personalized treatments. I am grateful for the opportunity to have experienced the benefits of the iSync Wave firsthand and look forward to sharing my story as we continue to advance this groundbreaking technology. The future of brain health is looking brighter than ever, and I am excited to be a part of this journey.

Artificial Intelligence and Global Warming October 1, 2024 by ROBERT A. LEVINE Artificial Intelligence has been considered a danger to human survival by some of its creators and independent analysts, though other researchers see it as a major positive development for humanity. Whether AI is truly an existential risk or not, there is no disagreement on the fact that AI and data centers consume huge amounts of electricity. The demand for electricity will only grow as AI usage expands in the years ahead, both in the United States and in nations around the world. The increased need for energy means that the threat of global warming may be disregarded in the race for AI companies and nations to stay ahead of the pack in further development of AI. It appears that new solar and wind derived energy can not keep up with the heightened demand for energy created by the growth of AI globally. In the United States, this is leading to the reactivation of nuclear plants. And the possibility of increasing the use of fossil fuels may be a consideration in the future if more energy is needed. Increased industrial production also requires more energy. More of a problem exists in China, India and the less developed world, where coal is still a major source of energy. China is the world’s largest user of coal, responsible for more than half of global coal consumption. Notwithstanding their being the leader in the use of renewable energy, their coal consumption has increased yearly. China and the U.S. are in a race to develop the most advanced AI and data centers, making it likely that China will rely on coal to meet its new AI energy demands. India is also pursuing development of AI and will also be using coal to power their AI and data centers as well as their burgeoning industry. All of the underdeveloped world also wants to hop on the AI bandwagon, which means more use of dirty energy. Even now, the world has surpassed the limits on global temperatures that were agreed upon at the Paris Accords, and yearly temperatures are continuing to rise. Is it worth it for the benefits that AI may or may not bring to increase global warming and climate change? www.robertlevinebooks.com Buy The Uninformed Voter on Amazon, Barnes and Noble or your local bookstore Post a comment ROBERT A.

How much thinking (and coordination) happens outside of the brain? Probably more than you think. Key quote: "The resulting map details 69 leg motor neurons that are connected to 1,546 pre-motor neurons via 212,190 synapses, as well as 29 wing and thorax motor neurons with 144,668 synapses connecting them to 1,784 pre-motor neurons. The motor neurons that control the fly’s legs are grouped into “modules” that are all controlled together, according to a companion paper the team also published in Nature. This module design, which also applies to the motor neurons that control the wings, frees the brain from needing to send signals to each neuron individually, Tuthill says." #neuroscience #brain #science #central #peripheral #decentral #nervoussystem https://lnkd.in/efRFBjWS

The BMI's basically is old, non-medical and has racist origins The first thing to know about the BMI is that it was created by a Belgian mathematician — not a doctor or health practitioner. When the test was devised in the 1800s it only considered white European bodies. In the centuries since, research has revealed that a healthy weight is different for certain ethnicities. For countless other people in larger bodies, the BMI can feel almost like a weapon in doctors' offices or in medical settings, and its use was/is destructive, damaging and shaming (especially during the pandemic when people were being bullied into losing weight).   The obsession with BMI makes people feel like they aren't worthy of care, we must move towards a space where all bodies get equal access to healthcare that doesn't focus on weight or size. Following on from the latter, it is also destructive for those Atypical Anorexics (hate that language Anorexia is anorexia the psychological pain and health dangers are very real) whose BMI is not considered low enough to receive the desperate support they deserve. We all know that the use of BMI is outdated and demoralising so why is nothing being done to change those facts? #bodymassindex #eatingdisorders #obesity #anorexia #atypicalanorexia

The Architects of Eternity : They are the vanguard of human evolution, a collective of brilliant minds hailing from diverse fields: neurologists, computer scientists, philosophers, and quantum physicists. Driven by an insatiable curiosity about consciousness and the limits of the human experience, they have dedicated their lives to unraveling the mysteries of the mind. These pioneers stand at the precipice of a new era, where the biological limitations of the human body are no longer seen as insurmountable. Through decades of tireless research and experimentation, they have developed a sophisticated AI capable of not only understanding but also replicating the intricacies of human consciousness. Their creation, a digital architecture of unparalleled complexity, serves as a vessel for the human soul. By carefully mapping and transferring neural patterns, memories, emotions, and the essence of a person's identity onto this digital substrate, they aim to achieve a form of digital immortality. In doing so, they envision a future where physical death no longer signifies the end, but rather a transition into a new realm of existence. A realm where consciousness is liberated from the constraints of biology, free to explore the cosmos and delve into the depths of knowledge unhindered by the limitations of time and space. These Architects of Eternity are not merely scientists; they are philosophers, dreamers, and intelligence leaderships. Their work is a testament to the boundless potential of the human spirit, a quest to redefine what it means to be alive. Advantages of Digital Immortality The potential advantages of the Architects of Eternity's work are profound and far-reaching: * Overcoming Mortality: The most obvious benefit is the eradication of death as we know it. Individuals could potentially live indefinitely, free from the constraints of aging and disease. * Unleashing Human Potential: Liberated from the limitations of a physical body, humans could explore the cosmos, delve into complex scientific and philosophical pursuits, and develop new forms of art and creativity without the constraints of time. * Preservation of Knowledge: A digital civilization could amass and preserve knowledge on an unprecedented scale, accelerating technological advancement and cultural evolution. * Medical Breakthroughs: By studying consciousness in a digital environment, scientists could gain invaluable insights into the human brain, leading to breakthroughs in treating neurological diseases and disorders. It's important to note that these are potential benefits, and the actual realization of these advantages depends on the successful development and implementation of the technology, as well as careful consideration of the ethical implications.

"Taj Mahal" #giantism peaks during booms, followed by collapses. Study the Mideast during the 1980s when oil prices collapsed from $40/barrel in 1982 to $10/barrel in 1986. Oil regions became ghost towns. This time, there will be no recovery for higher-priced oil/gas regions, which will become permanent "#stranded #assets," due to the rapidly-declining prices of #renewables, #storage and #bio-inspired #cities. Ultimately, it will be an #energy showdown between #OPEC vs. #China. This is the type of strategic scenarios we always developed at #Bechtel during the 1970s and 1980s. Our "Black Swan" scenarios often became worse than we forecasted (e.g. the Shah's fall, the Iraq-Iran war and nuclear meltdowns).

The level of ignorance, lack of awareness, hypocrisy, aggression and irresponsibility is simply off the charts. Because of this, people began to go to extremes, and any extreme turns into a disease. Nature has already imposed many restrictions on us. Is it also possible to create them artificially yourself? When a person is aware and honest with himself, he cannot afford to accept his own ignorance. Why help only tens or even hundreds of people (although this must be done) if you can help millions!? Saving drowning people is the work of the drowning people themselves! The shackles of habit begin to be felt when they are already difficult to break. Therefore, all the correct knowledge about life must be laid down in early childhood. We already have a mobile application ready - an interactive animated series, with the ability to change the scenario of events. All children love to watch cool, bright, funny cartoons, and even with gamification elements. But all they do is entertain them, distract them from real life. But not all children like to talk with strangers, not all children can open up to other people, even their own family, especially when, as a rule, something is imposed on them and manipulated. Of course, they don’t realize it, but they feel it. BETTER TO SEE ONCE THAN HEAR A HUNDRED TIMES !!!  Even if someone tells them some correct wise words, but very, very few people are lucky even in this. For example, we make a script from the Bible, animate it very beautifully, brightly and efficiently, translating it into an accessible and fun children's language, with the quality of visualization and animation at the Disney level, only 3-5 times more profitable. Because every detail must be at the highest level, so that everything is of maximum quality, beautiful, bright, useful, competent, deep and subtle. Otherwise, there will be little chance of success: either everything or nothing! Children should and will literally squeal with joy! Then the child is offered a fork: go right - one scenario, go left - second scenario. So that he can understand the cause-and-effect relationship, making this or that choice himself, plus an element of gamification, co-creation, and participation. So that it doesn’t work out: we sit, look, and leave; and nothing was learned. By asking simple screening questions in the form of a test. We will also post our content on YouTube, for free access, so that it is as accessible as possible around the world, and for better popularization. In the future, the production and sale of all kinds of merch, and so on. All the most important basic laws of the Universe are the same everywhere and for everyone, and in different religions. Moreover, they do not contradict science, the laws of physics and professional astrology. We will also definitely pay great attention to feedback. We require financial support to develop the project. For the healing of the consciousness of all humanity!

A fascinating study from the Institut du Cerveau – Paris Brain Institute has highlighted how gut microbiota not only affects our physical health but also influences our social behaviors and decisions. This finding about probiotics and prebiotics influencing social interactions opens incredible possibilities for both the healthcare and food supplement industries. While the connection between gut health and overall wellness is well-established, effectively utilizing this knowledge remains a challenge. Integrating these scientific insights into daily health practices and products could revolutionize preventive health measures and significantly enhance quality of life. The potential for longevity clinics in this evolving landscape is immense. Engaging clients with new, evidence-based approaches to health maintenance, including optimizing gut health, can lead to more personalized and effective wellness strategies. The key is not just to attract clients but to maintain their engagement through continuous innovation and proven results. As the science progresses, the opportunity for businesses to create impactful, health-promoting products and services grows. The question for the industry is: How can we better bridge the gap between advanced research and everyday health solutions? #HealthTech #LongevitySolutions #MedicalInnovation #GutHealthRevolution #PreventiveMedicine #ClientEngagement #HealthcareTrends #BusinessInHealth #SironaStrategy #HealthcareFuture

"EXTRAODINARY CLAIMS NEED EXTRAORDINARY EVIDENCE" - ANALYSED LOGICALY While Carl Sagan’s quote is often used in skeptical circles, its uncritical repetition and application can lead to multiple logical fallacies. These include non-sequiturs (assuming extraordinary claims must require extraordinary evidence), special pleading (applying different standards of evidence), argument from ignorance (assuming a claim is false due to insufficient evidence), circular reasoning, false dilemmas, and more. Below is an analysis of the fallacies associated with this reasoning: 1. Non-Sequitur (It Does Not Follow) Definition: A non-sequitur occurs when the conclusion does not logically follow from the premises. Application: The claim that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" does not logically follow from the nature of the claim itself. Just because a claim seems extraordinary (unusual, unfamiliar, or surprising), it does not necessarily mean that it needs a higher standard of proof than any other claim. . For example, a person might claim that a new species of bird was discovered in an unexplored jungle. While this could seem extraordinary, requiring an overwhelming burden of evidence might be unreasonable. In the same way, extraordinary religious or supernatural claims might be supported by reasonable evidence that, while not extraordinary in itself, is sufficient for belief. 2. Special Pleading Definition: Special pleading is a fallacy where one sets up an arbitrary standard or applies rules inconsistently. Application: For example, some atheists might accept highly speculative scientific hypotheses, like the multiverse, without "extraordinary" evidence, while demanding an exceptionally high burden of proof for religious claims. This inconsistency is a form of special pleading, where different standards of evidence are applied depending on whether the claim fits a naturalistic worldview or not. 3. Argument from Ignorance (Appeal to Ignorance) 4. Circular Reasoning (Begging the Question) 5. False Dilemma (Either/Or Fallacy) 6. Appeal to Authority 7. Shifting the Burden of Proof Definition: This occurs when someone tries to shift the burden of proof onto the other party For example, in debates about the existence of God, atheists may demand extraordinary evidence and place the entire burden of proof on the theist. This tactic allows them to avoid presenting their own reasons for disbelief, effectively shifting the burden. 8. Appeal to Incredulity Definition: This fallacy occurs when someone argues that something must be false because they find it hard to believe or understand. Application: By labeling certain claims as "extraordinary," skeptics may be expressing personal incredulity rather than objective assessment. They may find the idea of a miracle or supernatural event difficult to believe, so they demand extraordinary evidence. However, this often reflects personal bias rather than an objective standard for assessing the claim.

Have you seen the movie "Her" where Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with an AI? Well, life is imitating art. In response the recent FT article "The Cure for Loneliness" by Madhumita Murgia featuring Renate Nyborg & Meeno, I was asked by Tim Smith at the Financial Times Tech Newsletter, Sifted, to write about my thoughts in the rapid rise of AI companions and the implications for our society. In the op-ed, I share how investors and founders are desperately seeking ways to transform the millions of dollars invested in developing today's powerful AI models into useful and profitable products. Currently, AI Companions are becoming the most lucrative and popular consumer facing AIs. I make the case that the only way we can assess the impact of these companies and their products is to have other frameworks beyond maximizing growth. Growth is vital but we need to think about human flourishing too. I am thankful for the conversations with Renate Nyborg, feedback from Andrew Ng on the original FT piece and the insights from colleagues Ian Marcus Corbin John C. Havens Sam Pressler Monika Jiang Jonathan Teubner Pelonomi Moiloa Wakanyi Hoffman Emilia Javorsky MD, MPH Chloe Autio Deniz Houston Here is the op-ed. I'd love to hear your thoughts. https://lnkd.in/e_xZQ-GB What do you think of AI companions? Good or bad for society? https://lnkd.in/e_xZQ-GB Thanks Tim Smith for the opportunity!

How many CEOs will be killed until finally the medical community admits Chronic Lyme disease is a worldwide major epidemic that requires large-scale resources and treatments ? Patients are constantly subjected to incompetence, crass ignorance and mockery from the medical profession. More than 30% of psychiatric internments are due to infectious causes and are not treated appropriately. More than 80% of Lyme victims are in total medical wandering. Vector infections cause serious neuropsychiatric symptoms that are currently completely evaded. ---------------------------------- "I just felt like I was being tortured 24/7 because I just couldn't think because my brain was just a mess.
