Humanism, Becoming and the Demiurge in The Adventures of Pinocchio

The common thread of Pinocchio’s story is his desire to become a human being. Unlike some creators who approached the adventures of Pinocchio in the context of posthumanism the transhumanism embraces technological progress while strongly defending human rights and individual choice. Pinocchio is aware of his incompleteness: he seeks during the story to become “a real boy.” Human consciousness can refer to things that we do not perceive directly. Pinocchio is a “child” without a mother, created by his father to fill his loneliness. He highlights the current problem of the relationship between man and his creation, out of control.

The impact of DoS (Denial of Service) cyberattacks on a Local Area Network (LAN)

posted in: Media 0

In this paper I will highlight a modus operandi of hackers launching Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks. I will theoretically show how CAM Overflow and TCP SYN Flood attacks can be performed, using Kali Linux, a Linux distribution used by cyber criminals to launch MitM (Man-in-the-Middle) attacks, DoS attacks, observing traffic in a computer network, etc. Hackers can affect the functioning of devices on an organization’s local network (server, router, switch, etc.) by sending thousands of packets per second to … Read More

Models of Emotional Intelligence in Research and Education

The emotional intelligence models have helped to develop different tools for construct assessment. Each theoretical paradigm conceptualizes emotional intelligence from one of two perspectives: ability or mixed model. Ability models consider emotional intelligence as a pure form of mental ability and therefore as pure intelligence. Mixed models of emotional intelligence combine mental capacity with personality traits. The trait models of emotional intelligence refer to the individual perceptions of their own emotional abilities. Cognitive learning involves placing new information into existing frameworks and modes of understanding.

The Importance of the Rare Earths for the World Economy

“Rare earth elements” (REE) is a frontier discipline between economics as a generic science and the economy of rare earth elements, which studies the production, the distribution and the circulation of the rare earths. On our planet, over a quarter of the new technologies involved in producing economic goods use REE, also known as critical minerals. In the near future, the competition to control the reserves of REE will get tough. In the 21st Century, REE are as important as oil was for the previous century and coal for the 19 th Century, namely, the engine of a new industrial revolution. Rare earth elements represent a new concept and become an important part of our daily life, given the increased use of smart devices.

The Psycho-Neural Connectivity

In this paper we follow the pathway sentient informational reality couples to our well-known mass/matter/energy world, in a well-integrated inter-dimensional process. Pure information in its pre-energetic aspect couples to subquantum (SQ) units and combinatorials of increasing complexity, able to transgress the ZPE (Zero-point energy) barrier between nonlocal information fields and local quantum processes, being stored and vehiculated by pre-quantum subtle energy variants. The link between these ontologically different domains is provided by the Compton-radius vortex configurations operating at the level of sub-quarks across all the periodic table of elements. Life as inherent condition of manifestation results as the conscious aspect of matter. The fundamental coupling mechanism between non-local and material regimes is supported both by compelling evidence supplied in bio-energetic physics and by recent mathematical proves.

Interactions between the brain, the biofields, and the physical

Before addressing the physical object of highest complexity in nature, the Brain, and its consciousness-related functional correlates, let’s remember some basic assumptions regarding biosystems as a whole. We expect to recognize such intricate cortico-informational integration mechanisms, as being the pinnacle of the representations we have been investigating. Obeying the holographic distribution principle which we have followed all along our analytic path, we have to keep in mind that in order to get an incremental improvement in the accuracy of our Brain-related understandings, its overall efficiency regulation must be associated with the biofield. This association is of an uttermost subtlety and complexity, since the biofield actively interacts with neurocybernetic processes, via Quantum and Subquantum connectivity.
