Cognitive Labs

This semi-annual rumor seems to be true. Hope they can pull it off as well as the slightly more mature Paul (McCartney). The date: November 27, 2007-London (not Vegas). The "most demanded ticket in history" crashed the servers. Over the Hills and Far Away...

Improve the inner space to improve outward space. (part 1)

One of the reasons to improve cognitive functioning is that it optimizes the brain so that it can be prepared to achieve higher and higher levels of awareness. In this state, as in Gandhi's Satyagraha, achieving control over others and behaving agressively becomes antithetical to the individual who is at peace. Such an individual has confidence they are performing their best at a given task, there is no need for fear and sense of inadequacy, which drives hostile behavior. Mental enhancement reduces fear of situational unknowns. When there is a network of such individuals, living without fear, the level of tranquility and engagement with tasks beneficial to both society and the individual creates a spirit of cooperation, understanding, and learning. External relations between individuals, groups, and the unknown improve - since there is nothing to fear. There is no such thing as an "unknown" - merely items and experiences that are in our present state of awareness, and those which are not. Simply because something is not perceived at present through one set of sensory inputs - does not mean it does not exist.
