Menti, intelligence is actually a multifaceted concept; just read Wikipedia, you're reinventing the wheel.

The concept of spirituality can also be given a more scientific-sounding definition, not related to the soul. It is a combination of personality traits, temperament, and other personal qualities of a person.

Menty, intelligence is actually a multifaceted concept, so at least read Wikipedia, why are you reinventing the wheel?

Wikipedia is not suitable for solving philosophical questions. It's not suitable at all.

The concept of spirituality can be given a more scientific definition, not related to the soul. It is a combination of character traits, temperament, and other personal qualities of a person.

The word "spirituality" comes from "spirit," "soul." Any definition not related to these concepts does not correspond to the lexical origin of the word, and therefore cannot be its absolute meaning.

Found in old notes an unfinished book, "Argon Nogra"

A new day has arrived. It brings new opportunities and new mistakes. Sometimes, and very often, people don't understand that every day is something new and will never be repeated, and it's never worth forgetting or simply wasting time on empty moments that won't benefit them or those around them. Much is unknown to me. I try to understand and realize what is around me. How I would like to live my whole life and until the end of time, forever young, and study everything. Explore other worlds and write about them. Write different stories and facts about the lives of others, about which we will not know, and these others will not know about the lives of others and about us. Much becomes clear only very late. So many lost moments that we spent not as we thought at the time. Over time, we understand and realize many things. Today is a new day, new days will come, and they will come until they reach the number allotted to them. Various feelings accompany the human history of life. Love, it seems, is extraordinarily strong. But think about fear. Fear is colossal in its magnitude. Fear instantly changes the essence of each individual. It is fear that builds our entire life, and on the eve of death, fear is extraordinarily great. People who say they are not afraid of anything, even death, are very foolish. A person who says that he is not afraid of death is afraid of what others will think of him, that he is afraid of something, and that is his great foolishness. Fear is natural, and fear is unique and beautiful in certain moments. The fear of death is the most natural, as natural as morning and evening. As day and night, as love and hate. I am afraid of death, and I feel uneasy when I think that I will no longer be able to think. But one must continue to be afraid...

4 years and only ten pages :smile35:

Menti, I think we should discuss this at the Academy.

I think the author of this demotivator is Native American. What's your opinion, colleague? Or are you talking about the planet?

And what do Native Americans have to do with it? They have long since become Native Americans.

Yeah, I guess I’m not very politically correct.

I was just watching an interesting show. Apparently, in Russia, they are creating cryochambers where people's brains are placed for future revival. This procedure costs 30,000 US dollars. What do you think about this, colleagues?

Hooray for Futurama!

Well, let's start by looking at the link:

And in general:

Thus, in Russia, 13 people, one cat, three dogs, and two birds have already been cryogenically preserved.

:Δ

The cryogenically preserved man will wait in a special storage facility located north of the Moscow region: in the village of Alabushevo near Zelenograd, for the time when science will be able to revive the frozen.

:Δ
In reality, all of this is very optimistic. A human is a much more complex organism than, say, frogs, and it will be much more difficult for him to survive such abuse. Perhaps there are some chances... But I don't think it will become widespread. It's better to lead a healthy lifestyle and breathe mountain air; then, like Caucasians, you can live for over 100 years.

I'm ready. But in general, it would be better if they learned how to freeze... emotions? Or eliminate them.

yes, that's cool. We need to learn how to deprive a person of emotions.
although, of course, this will immediately be used for military purposes, creating an army of ideal, unthinking soldiers without instincts and emotions.

Recent advances in cyborg technology: scientists replaced a non-functioning part of a rat's brain with a computer chip. This was the part of the brain that coordinates movement. When the chip was turned off, the rats could not perform simple coordinated movements in response to a stimulus. But as soon as the chip was turned on, everything returned to normal.

Not bad. Now, we can introduce a new element to spy thrillers: James Bond replaces the cerebellum of KGB agents with a chip, and when they want to do something bad, he disables it, preventing them from moving. Then, he turns it back on, as if nothing happened.

Menti, here's another piece of news: Leading Russian scientists, united in the public movement "Russia-2045" and proposing to Dmitry Medvedev to support a project to create an artificial body, have begun to implement their ambitious plan. At the same time, research will be conducted in several directions at once. In particular, specialists hope to create an artificial copy of a person, controlled by thought using neurointerfaces. Developers have called this body an "avatar," by analogy with the film of the same name by James Cameron, although the concept itself is more reminiscent of "surrogates" from John Mostow's film. "Conservatism and fantasy let down the creators of 'Surrogates' - they offered a negative forecast for the widespread introduction of artificial bodies. But the essence of the technological project in the film is conveyed correctly. The first prototype of the 'avatar' will be created within the next four years. The technologies, of course, will not be at such a high level as in the film, but the very principle of the possibility of remote control of a copy of the human body through a neurointerface will be implemented," Dmitry Itskov, the initiator of the creation of the "Russia-2045" movement, told the publication "Vzglyad.ru." According to him, scientists hope to establish serial production of artificial bodies as early as 2020. The second direction of research is the creation of a body into which the brain of a dying person could be transplanted. As some scientists believe, such a transplant may prolong a person's life to 200-300 years. Specialists expect to conduct the first successful experiments in just ten years, and by 2025, release serial samples. The most difficult task facing the participants of "Russia-2045" is the transfer of the immaterial structure of a person's consciousness into a completely artificial body. Researchers hope to complete this work in 20 years. The fourth direction of research in the future will be the development of a virtual body-hologram, which can be projected to any point in the physical or virtual world. "The fourth direction - the design of a body-hologram - looks the most futuristic. Indeed, its creation will be the most difficult task, but at the same time the most interesting of all that our civilization will face on the path of its evolution," Itskov said. "The four areas of research I propose and the deadlines for their implementation are feasible. Of course, these timeframes are an optimistic forecast, but, according to a number of scientists, it is quite realistic. These are our intentions, our plan for the next 35 years. We will strive to fulfill it," Itskov concluded. Recall that recently, participants in the "Russia-2045" movement turned to the president with an open letter, in which they proposed a new national idea. In particular, specialists in the field of neurointerface development, artificial organs, and systems ask the head of state to support a project to create an artificial human body, indicating that the artificial body will significantly surpass the existing one in its functional capabilities by 2045 and will reach perfection in form. Then people will be able to independently decide to continue life and development in a new body after all the resources of the biological one have been exhausted. In a letter to the president, scientists propose to develop a system of views, values, and technologies that will help a person develop intellectually, morally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. According to experts, the creation of an artificial body is a project with a clearly expressed ideological orientation, capable of changing life for the better, destroying many stereotypes, and becoming the national idea that modern politicians and public figures are talking about.

Ah, they're planning projects. Forget it, we know how these projects turn out in modern Russia. The previous result was interesting, though.
