Ronny’s Thoughts

Thats rite so far I have been alive for 20 years. It might not seem like a lot to many people but it is. If I was to rephrase it then it would be something like:

• 240 months
• 1,040 weeks
• 7,300 days
• 175,200 hours
• 10,512,000 minutes
• 630,720,000 seconds

Yea it’s a lot.

There are some people who have accomplished a shit load of things in the same period of time. I on the other hand, not as much. I am not saying I have done nothing, because believe you me, I have done a lot more shit than the average person. The best part is that I have not just done things I have also learned from them. This is why I can say to people “I understand”. I am not the best person at reading people by just looking but that is only due to the fact that sight can only say so much. Which is why I have learned that words are more powerful than you could imagine.

The one thing that scares me though is that to me the past 15 years have been almost as if I have lived them before. No matter how hard I try to do a lot I still for some reason keep doing things as if I have all the time in the universe. As if time is not a factor to me.

3 times in my life I have been told by completely different people, in different times and places, the same phrase. “When I am around you I feel like there is some one with a very very old soul” after that it varies. Usually they try to explain it. I always understood what they try to say and need not say anymore but I let them anyway.

Well anyways today is a day of me.

Random thought: I wonder how many people where born on this day.

This is a video that I think is inspired by the matrix. if it is not well then it sure as hell remind me of it. There is much that one person can say about the vid but i think that it peeks for itself. One you see the whole thing.

Computer programing is big. Really big. The thing is that I find or i should say that no one has gotten it rite. By that i mean that there are so many programing languages yet they all have limitations when it comes to mimicking the way that humans think. This is something that I yet to understand because trying to program a computer to think the same way that a human can is not doable in that manner. Because when you think about it a computer is only programed to do ehat we gave it criteria for. This way of thinking just don’t work. A fully functional and thinking human being takes time to make. Pardon my words, I don’t mean to make it sound like humans are fabricated. Thats just the way it seems to go. So my theory is that the programming of a human is much simpler than that of any computer. This simplicity is lost over time due to what is known as learning. This is the one thing that computers have yet been able to do at the same level as humans. I say that because there are learning computers out there but the only learn to the extent that they are programed to learn. So my theory is what not let it learn the same way that a human learns from birth.

Human programing from birth is very simple. and if it was to be put in computer terms it would probably be something like an record and apply sort of thing. So basically if you was to give a computer the same 5 senses that humans have and then let it recored it’s interaction with it’s environment it will surely begin to notice patterns. If there is something that computers are good at is patterns. This is a form of learning no different that humans. Eventually we get to a point that we don’t need to experience something to know it and understand it. We simply go back to our past experiences or what we have been toled and put 2 and 2 together. For example a baby is tough not to put his fingers in the wall outlet by giving the kid a tap on the hand that is on the painful side, and saying no no no. The baby might not remember the no no no or even understand it, but the baby will understand pain. The baby will then remember that if it tries to touch it, pain is bound to come. This may sound like the most horible example to use but it works and it gets the point out.

So the idea is basically to make a android like baby that can feel not emotions because thats something we learn as well (you can argue this with me but thats my stand in it and I can tell you why later), but rather the 5 senses thing that I mentioned earlier. Have it wirelessly hooked up to a giant memory back with yota bites of storage. That will be its brain. Unless we find something different to use. Like maybe the fourth circuit. Then we simply live regular lives and stuff and every so often we can have a way that we can manually say hay stay asleep while we replace your body with a new one and stuff. Or we can raise it knowing that it is an artificial being and so sex wouldn’t matter. there are many options in this area and it really wouldn’t be that bad to just run all sorts of different criteria. The only problem i see to this project is that it will take a long long time. Then agen who cares rite? There is research that goes on and on for years and yield small results at the end and what do they do? Keep going. Plus the way i see it whats few years when all that we are doing now is also not working.

All I am saying is that if I had the funding and stuff to do this sort of thing I would. Its not like one cant be working on one thing only. If it is to look as human as possible one would have to have a job like everyone and make it look like its all good. So in reality it would be like a big project in the mess of many many small ones.

One movie that you should watch to better understand what I am trying to say, is titled “A.I.” I wont spoil it because this movie was so good in my opinion that i actually watch it not only in theaters but i actually bough the DVD. That don’t seem like much but if you know me than you will understand that for me to actually buy a movie is like OMG status.

It is as the title says. What would you rather have? IS a world of fiction more appealing than that of reality? I you could change and shape reality to what ever you wanted would you? Better question yet how would you?

Now this is a topic that I cam across while in a conversation in school. The reason why I decided to actually write about such a topic is because I after comparing two situations (one fiction, one real). I then asked “Are real events so surprising because we don’t expect them in real life? And do we expect so much from fiction that nothing is a surprise?”

Now if that wasn’t a philosophical sounding question than I don’t know what is.

We constantly try to escape reality to avoid many things. One of them (and I think that everything leads to this) is a mental brake down. Its like they say all work and no play… I don’t remember how the original ends but you get the idea. You can basically say anything after that. Now this can be seen as quote to promote lethargic actions. Or it can be a remedy for those that have become brain dead worker zombies. Living day in and day out simply to do the bidding of others. Yes I do realize that its a bit of an expirations but thats what I do.

Now it is good to have fun with fantasy and stuff. But (yes there is always a “BUT”) what about when fantasy warps your mind to the same level of insanity? Yes thats rite there is alway too much of a good thing. some people lose touch with reality in a bad way where they begin to think that fantasy is reality. When this happens its too late for that person. They will never be the same again. Now I am not saying that fantasy is unhealthy thing to get addicted to. Its just how you get addicted that matters. For example those that make movies and stuff have a very clear understanding of what fiction and reality is. The stay sane because they jobs are fun so they don’t need all the drab back stuff.

Ok I am done with this topic mainly because I think that if I keep writing i will just be going in circles. But hay do feel free flame (geek talk for massive amounts of reply rants on how everything I say is bullshit BS)
