Mothers of Invention
It is usually assumed that there is an inherent structure to the universe and that it is simply a matter for human beings to discover this structure and thereby understand the laws that govern nature, and man. However, it is more and more evident that such inherent structure does not exist in the universe; that, in fact, there is no structure given in nature. And those events or regularities that we might point to as demonstrating structural coherence may only be a function of the conceptual screens we have chosen to cast over the world in order to fit it into a specific framework, usually in order to manipulate things according to the ends we wish to achieve (ends, moreover, which were prefigured in the very conceptual frameworks chosen). The cosmic regularities, periodicities, etc. we might ‘identify’ in nature are, in this light, only contingent structures, the results of the particular frameworks that we chose to apply.The structure thereby established is not ‘discovered’ but created by us; it is variable, and can change depending upon the conceptual screens and tools one chooses. This has happened throughout the history… More >>

The first step in coming up with a profitable invention idea is identifying a problem in society.Finding a ProblemFirst, you have to find a problem. What is a problem? I think most everyone knows what a problem consists of, especially a problem when we are on the subject of inventing. A problem is anything that hinders one from reaching a desired goal or object. There are problems all throughout our society, as you know. You probably encounter around 20 problems a day and most likely openly complain about half of them. Up until now you haven’t noticed when you did this, but going through day to day life as a human is your number one supplier for good problems. Listen to yourself, when you complain think about… More >>
Memes We Adopt As Reality – How Realisms Are Brought to Life
Human consciousness adopts its modernity from the contemporary form the developed reality has emerged as in the lineage of cultural continuums. Realisms in themselves without any consciousness to give them their emergence remain in their metaphysical state of being, brought to life only if they reach the state of becoming a part of the reality of consciousness.Realism, such as Buddhism, would not exist if there were not knowledge that could be realized by a human brain. When we then for example consider the noble eightfold path, we may perceive it in the field of memetics as being composed of eight memes that together causes the emergence of higher level representation of the noble eight fold path. In another example, we may easily perceive how such a state of consciousness as the enlightenment has its root and origin in Buddhism, including the realism of reincarnation where a person receives his or her birth on this world, and unless he or she through enlightenment breaks the cycle of rebirth, thus ascending the Nirvana and wanders for the first time to the assembly area of Buddhas, he or she will be… More >>
