Don't get it twisted. This forum is not about telling anyone "what" to do. We must come to the understanding that "how, when and why" we do the things that we do, can be just as important as "what" we do. Our reasoning behind these posts is simply about pointing people towards solutions. EVERYTHING here is written in chalk. NOTHING is written in STONE. As Cardinal Richelieu is often quoted as saying; "if you give me six lines written by the hands of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him." We are not exceptions here; all influencers should live in fear of the noose. The purpose of this platform is to present spiritual perspectives and to post, practice and perform the marvels of principles. In the past, by having been a victim of the conditions we were raised in and the conditioning that that it inflicted upon us, we are compelled to help others dealing with similar circumstances. Many of the writings may appear complicated or convoluted. In reality some are. Spiritual logic does not conform to our "natural" thought processes. Although some writings will be simplified by using analogies and comparisons to nature and various scientific processes, they are just that. The gravity and seriousness of "some topics" discussed will require an understanding that comes only through inspired epiphanies from revelations through study. "Other topics" will just require a "childlike" mentality to grasp. The biggest obstacle we all face in grasping new truth is ingrained former beliefs and biases. This forum is about practicing principles that we can take responsibility for, and upholding standards that enforce and follow natural order! For those mainly interested in listening to clever quips or words of wisdom we will be adding audio "summaries" to each post now and in the near future. We have no editors interested in, qualified or willing to investigate; validate or verify the spiritual principles we present here. The comments from our followers serve as editorials. The promised we give is to always thoroughly research topics and deliver information that can then be applied and practiced from the principles presented. "The proof will be in the pudding." The main asset we offer is the ability to honestly and openly share our experiences, insights and studies along with the revelations we've derive from them. The universe always responds to actions, and we intend to act on behalf of those whose voices may not be being heard. Our first priority is the ENVIRONMENT, in all aspects, spiritually and naturally. This is followed by HUNGER and POVERTY. We also address RACISM, RELIGION, POLITICS, FINANCES, ECONOMICS and CONSCIOUSNESS. In addition to these prominent topics is overall HEALTH. This encompasses our mental, physical and spiritual well-being. We outline methods and provide practical applications of principles to everyday dilemmas and issues. This is how we discover, define and practice the principles we attempt to describe. There are laws that are always present around us but sometimes we are not aware of them. In addition to this, there are principles applicable to every circumstance and situation we encounter. Once we become privy to the "Law of Principles" we only need the wisdom to apply these principles properly and create HIGH STANDARDS.

​Many times, progress is not about "what" we do but "how" we do it. Sometimes it's mainly about "how" we see and sense things. However, in every instance, it is also about "what" we believe. Our perspectives works hand in hand with our practiced beliefs. Believing and doing are synchronized with our ability to create (think) and manifest (act) in our life's mission! THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM HUMANITY FACES TODAY IS LOSS OF PURPOSE AND MISSION. Many of us do not know "where" we're going, "what" we're doing or "why" we're doing it! We are simply following the course that life seemingly has laid out before us. Our destiny belongs to us individually. Empowering, encouraging, exposing and including one another in discovering our individual callings is an endeavor of a lifetime. The concept of what purpose is must be socially and spiritually endowed. It cannot be legislated or decreed through judicial or religious fiat. Although our governments attempt to address ethical and moral issues through legal means, the spirit in which they were authored can get corrupted and lost over time. Affirmative action and DEI are examples of how governments tried to accomplish this. "Affirmative action" and D.E.I. are not the same. While both aim to promote fairness and equal opportunities, they were spawned from different movements in different times, operate in distinct ways and serve different purposes. In a nutshell, Affirmative action stemmed from the civil rights movement and its design was to promote equal access and representation in society. The time of its inception was in the 60's when advances in multimedia accelerated the visibility of the civil rights movement. This plainly exposed social injustices, and the government was forced to address "systemic" discrimination. It was based primarily on race but included other minorities. The evolution of Affirmative action has now expanded beyond its original scope of intent. The sexual revolution intertwined with the new LGBTQIA movement has embedded itself within the traditional moral standards of society. The movement has morphed into and operates off of a new theme called "intersectionality." This is the framework behind the design of D.E.I. The advent of D.E.I. which stands for diversity, equity and inclusion, was designed basically to establish, fund and promote nondiscriminatory/inclusive environments. The differences between the two are subtle. Although both original intentions were honorable, the results have also been morally and socially divisive. Integrating and mixing is not as simple as it seems. Violating the "principles of mixing," is easy if we are not aware of them or are ignorant of how they operate. We can never win an argument against ignorance or "What a fool believes." Whether it's mixing drinks; muddling, mixing chemicals; blending, mixing audio, batch processing or baking a cake; there are formulas to follow. There are some things that we cannot and should not mix together, like oil and water. Without having established societal standards, we will fall victim to a modern day "Jerry Springer" type zeitgeist. Standards need to be applied personally and locally. Without acknowledging or factoring in standards we are likely to allow our biases to distort our opinions and views. As human beings we are prone take sides in ignorance and without being fully informed. Applying principles to standards allows them to be refined in their expression. The way any of us sees things is a byproduct of our education and experiences. Beliefs can and will deceive us if they are not scrutinized. Ideally, in light of factual truth, our opinions should be easily altered if we were only open to being wrong. This should be the standard in osteopathic medicine and all science. Unfortunately, it is not! Allopathic practices, disguised as scientific breakthroughs are being introduced without being thoroughly tested today. The true standard that principles themselves operate upon are without bias. By design, they can bring scrutiny to any policies or practices without directly targeting the people and institutions enforcing them. Standards built around principles create "tools" that allows us to evaluate sensitive issues while removing the biases of our personal perspectives from the equation. If implemented properly, these "tools" uphold standards for forming judgements. Unfortunately, it is our personal judgements that form the foundation of our beliefs. Our beliefs are what empower the energy of our actions. There are "principle of power" that allow us to give our voice to other people and things that need one. Children, both born and unborn, plants, animals and nature itself only have the voice we give it. We are obligated to form a more perfect union among and between humanity and every part of nature. This is a part of our universal calling and mission. If we don't like something we should work to change it rather than pick up our marbles like spoiled children and quit or leave. There are "principles" built around the "law of exchange" that have made it evident that coexistence is imperative to us all. "Exchange" is the way of life! "Exchange" is life! Without exchange; breath, commerce, evaporation, photosynthesis pollinizing and many other processes required to sustain life will cease. Whether we are aware of it or not there are multiple natural and spiritual "laws of interdependence" that are a byproduct of the "law of exchange" at work. Laws operate in layers and some laws beget other laws. As a species, we should have progressed to a point in life where we understand that life is inextricably interconnected, and that interdependence is key. We, as an adaptable and interrelated species are all dependent upon each other's abilities to continually grow, adjust and evolve together. Whether we acknowledge it or not, Principles (LAWS) rule the day. We are all subject to the laws of the universe. When it comes to gravity it's easy for us to adhere to its "principles of interaction" or suffer the consequences. What about the laws of harmony, synchronization and interdependence? Whenever we work against these laws, we eventually suffer the consequences whether we are aware of it or not. We will always directly or indirectly reap and/or face the ramifications of "principle activating actions." Even if we don't our children will. We can pollute our lungs with tobacco smoke and our planet with toxic waste all we want to. Contradicting principles within literary guidelines like the Bible and other holy writ is wrong! The Bible is not really a book. The Bible can be better described rather than defined. The Bible is a literary collection that includes analogies, history, laws, letters, principles and stories compiled in a volume. The Bible is a book of standards we can apply use for living a "Godly" existence. The "volume" boldly and repeatedly proclaims the "universal principle" that man cannot help but reap what he sows! Although practices may change principles are permanent.

Let's begin with the most important principle of all principles. By starting with what's called and broadly classified as the "Laws of Principles," sometimes called or named "Principles of Manifestations," "Principle of Principles," and "First Principles," we can begin to make sense of the forces at play that seemingly govern our lives. Today, the notably popularized "Laws of Attraction" have recently become one of the most prevalent and prolific concepts or laws whose applications, practices and principles have been promoted. It is also historically, and probably among the most misapplied and misunderstood laws or principles ever. When defined by the "law of principles" it takes on a different meaning. It is important to know that laws and principles although synonymous differ in application and expression (what they describe). We distinguish them apart when defining them through their expression. Laws are often expressed as single equations, while principles are usually expressed as conceptual statements. A "law of principle" is a "universal principle" that describes the fundamental nature of a "thing," the relationships between various "things," or its universal properties. It can also be a description that explains these relationships and principles. The principle we're focusing on in this post is called the "principle of definitions." This fundamental principle is often ignored in our everyday lives and dictionary's. This principle states that definitions without reference to, or comparison of, how it interrelates with the rest of life are shortsighted. This is why we concentrate on and stress the spiritual aspects of our existence and its association with our mind. This principle means that all individual actions have a collective effect. Defining anything in terms of its relation to other "things" associates everything. Knowing that no "thing" is an island, is just as important as knowing that no man is an island. Practicing this principle is similar to creating an environmental impact statement for every issue we encounter. Just as The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) required by law an environmental impact statement, likewise we must consider the impact of any of our actions upon the rest of nature and the world. As one of the "principles of inclusion," defining interactions this way changes our perspective on life. Including every factor when defining or describing anything increases its accuracy. Let's make one thing perfectly clear this is no secret. Life and mind operate through spiritual energy. Natural principles are not hidden, mystical, deep or complicated. They are open and available to anyone seeking them. Applying principles allows us to create standards consistent with reality. Once principles are discovered or uncovered, they can be applied across multiple disciplines. The true beauty of the "Pool of Principles" is that they are all being illustrated by someone, somewhere, somehow in one way or another every day. The Bible is full of examples of both natural and spiritual principles interwoven within every character, parables, and story contained in it. The universe targets us individually with a customized, tailored lesson plan specifically designed for whatever circumstance we will face. The principles inside theses individual "Packages of Principles" don't expire, can be taught, shared and used over and over again. Whatever the universe gives us has an unlimited warranty and no expiration date! Here's a new principle we've just became aware of in our practices. We'll call this principle "The Principle of Focus" or the "there's no such thing as a catch 22" Principle. These principles are spiritual in nature and originate at the root of causation. The basis of all tangible actions originate from a non-tangible source called thought. Thought is a form of spiritual energy. Some "things" can only be discerned spiritually. The bible says that "the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." Spiritual principles can operate outside of natural laws. It may appear that all natural laws operate uniformly within the corporeal universe but that is an illusion, they may not necessarily do so. Laws operate and work in layers that can supersede one another. Although all tangible manifestations begin and are birthed from spiritual origins they exist in two different forms. Thought form supplies the energy to produce physical form. We cannot stress this principle enough! This may seem to be redundant, but it is so important to grasp fully. Thoughts become "things." Thoughts first form mentally, then they take on verbal and physical form. It is easier to address errant thought at the imaginative or verbally expressive stage of development rather than have to deal with its manifestations at the physical stage. Standards can be applied to everything from thinking to doing. Even thoughts and imaginations must be kept in subjection to mind. Failure to learn how to think and exercise control over thought can result in anarchy. Standards operate mutually in the realm of spirit and mind. This is why mental health issues must be dealt with at both the psychological and spiritual levels. This may be why it seems that more and more people are continuing to lose their minds. Is it simply because they don't know how to keep them? Whenever we focus on a particular issue intensely, initially it may "feel" as if things get worse. Although it may "seem" that way, generally it's not true. Focusing itself has a way of magnifying things in a way that represents them differently from the way we first viewed them. After focusing on something we may see it differently, but that difference may only be the details. Likewise, when dealing with a problem at first glance we may not see the severity of it. But after close examination we come to the realization that the problem was greater than originally thought. These discoveries should give us some joy in the consolation that the focusing part of the process has begun to work. We can only deal with what we are aware of. As "focusing" closely exposes things, we must learn to respond to its revelations as feeling informed rather than overwhelmed. No one has a monopoly on principles, neither have we discovered them all. The proof is in the practice. True love permits us to accept each other as we are but allows us to hold one another to higher standards. As we continue to discover and practice different principles we will present them for consideration in this forum.

There are certain "why's" in life that cannot be defined, explained prematurely or may not be able to be understood at all. Sometimes beliefs must be embraced without evidence and intellectual or intuitive proof. The "standard" of human experience is composed of both a natural and spiritual journey. We can connect to and with the spiritual aspect of our being through our minds while we connect with the natural aspect of our existence through both our minds and bodies. Yes, even experiences can be categorized as expected, normal or what we might call standard. We must be taught and learn standards. There are standards for everything! S.O.P, also known as standard operating procedures, are used by a wide range of industries beyond healthcare including aviation, finance, and construction. There is a "way" and "why" to how "things" are and should be done. There is a rational behind any functioning aspect or action in life. This means it has an intentional, organized and predesignated design within its nature. We can pervert it or build upon that nature. Building upon what we know to be already true provides consistency and promotes further discovery. Left to our own imagination and vices can give rise to perverting basic, sacred or solemn acts and practices. We cannot expect a child to intuitively know how to or practice eating a balanced diet. Dietary standards are established then handed down, we teach them. Even after being taught to do what's best, most children and many adults default to what tastes good to them over what's actually best for them. Our ​minds can override the intellect of the brain, defy common sense and resist rational behavior. This is why we must be taught to continually discipline and train our minds. This is what is characterized as "Critical Thinking! Yes, even our minds can have a mind of their own. 

NO WONDER SO MANY PEOPLE ARE SEEMINGLY CONFUSED AND LOST TODAY! THE PRACTICE OF ASKING CHILDREN TO MAKE ADULT DECISIONS IS WRONG! THERE IS A NATURAL PROCESS THAT ALL OF LIFE GROWS THROUGH CALLED MATURITY! THE TIME REQUIRED FOR MATURING DIFFERS ACROSS VARIOUS SPECIES. HUMANS LIVE LONGER BUT MATURE SLOWER THAN MOST OF NATURE. WE GRADUALLY LEARN AND MAKE DISCOVERIES OVER YEARS! IT''S HARD FOR US AS YOUTHS TO KNOW WHAT TO DO WITHOUT HAVING TEACHING OR EXPERIENCES THAT ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES AND CHANGES THAT MUCH OF LIFE BRINGS TO US. THERE ARE SOME "THINGS" THAT CANNOT BE PROCESSED PREMATURELY. IT ALWAYS TAKES US TIME TO PROCESS AND TO BOTH ACTUALLY AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE MEANINGS OF OUR CHOICES ALONG WITH THE RAMIFICATIONS BEHIND THEM. BOTH GROWTH AND MATURITY ARE A STEP-BY-STEP GRADUAL PROCESS. ASKING A YOUNG INEXPERIENCED NAIVE CHILD HOW THEY IDENTIFY GENDER WISE, BEFORE THEY EVEN REACH PUBERTY IS RIDICULOUS! HOW CAN AN IMMATURE INDIVIDUAL MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO PROCESS INFORMATION THAT REQUIRES ADVANCED AGE AND UNDERSTANDING? ISN'T THIS WHY WE HAVE ESTABLISHED AGES OF CONSENT FOR ANY AND ALL SEXUAL ACTIVITY OR INTERCOURSE WITH A MINOR? ISN'T THIS WHY THERE IS A MINIMUM AGE TO BUY CIGARETTES AND ALCOHOL? ISN'T THIS IS WHY THERE'S A MINIMUM AGE FOR DRIVING, VOTING AND PARTICIPATING IN MOST "ADULT LEVEL" ACTIVITIES? IT'S OBVIOUS THAT "FREE MORAL AGENCY" WORKS HAND IN HAND WITH THE CONCEPT AND PRACTICE OF "INFORMED CONSENT?"

"INFORMED CONSENT" IS A PROCESS THAT ALLOWS A PERSON TO MAKE VOLUNTARY DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR OWN PERSONAL SITUATION AFTER BEING EDUCATED BY AN AUTHORIZED PERSON OR PROVIDER REGARDING THE RISKS, BENEFITS AND ALTERNATIVES OF A CHOICE, INTERVENTION OR PROCEEDURE. IT IS A FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE AND STANDARD IN MEDICAL ETHICS AND LAW. IT IS THE BASIS OF ANY CONTRACT, GUARANTEE OR WARRANTEE. YES, "INFORMED CONSENT" IS CONSIDERED A CENTRAL REQUIRED COMPONENT TO MOST EVERY CLIENT, CUSTOMER, END-USER, AND/OR PATIENT, TO "PROFESSIONL" TRUST. "INFORMED CONSENT" RESPECTS INDIVIDUAL AUTONOMY, CHOICE AND FREE WILL. ​

There are no positions to maintain or sides to take in these matters. Whether we look at this from an ethical, legal, moral, religious or scientific standpoint, the conclusions should be the same. Some issues do not require compromise only correction. Let's look beyond our own views regardless of what they are and exercise common sense and logic. This is an appeal to common decency as well as to compassionate humanity. Spirit has no known boundaries. Most everyone acknowledges spirits existence in one form or another. We can come together in the "spirit of unity" to codify and keep certain standards regardless of our individual beliefs. Please consider the principles presented in this post with the positions we take in every aspect of life! 

Crazy has traditionally been defined as mentally deranged behavior exhibited in a wild or aggressive way. However we will be expanding on that definition in this post. CRAZY will be defined as just an abnormally elevated or diminished state of reasoning. In other words CRAZINESS can be called "extreme reasoning." Craziness is a common occurrence familiar to us all. CRAZY is not the opposite of common sense it is actually common sense perverted or out of control; now how CRAZY is that? Don't "over" think it. We've all "acted" crazy at some time or another. CRAZINESS is an interim state of "being" within the mind manifested through our thinking and behavior. There is a difference between acting crazy and being crazy. When we "act" crazy the intent is manipulative, but if we are "being" crazy any irrational belief can be embraced. The real CRAZY part of it all is that we often deal with CRAZINESS by treating the symptoms rather then focusing on the cause. Smoking cigarettes is CRAZY@! It causes lung cancer among other diseases, costs us billions of dollars and has taken millions of lives. We know what it can cause. So why do we attack the symptoms rather than stop producing the cause. The main driver behind this type of travesty is money. "For the love of money is the root of all evil." We've gone this route before as a species. It was only a few decades ago that we stopped causing the destruction of the ozone layer. In 1987 the ENTIRE world agreed to phase out the production of CFC's altogether. And as a planet we did just that! A common cause resulted in a common solution. When can we expect to see that again? We can all admit that Pollution is CRAZY@! How is it then that we continually pollute the air we breathe, the water we drink and the consciousness of our interactions with impunity? As we continue to bite and devour one another we are being consumed by one another. Our respect for water is pitiful and our regard for air is just as bad. Where is our reverence for nature? Water is one of the most important substances on the planet. We depend on and utilize water in almost every aspect of our existence. Whether its for bathing, cleaning, drinking, irrigation, plumbing, or growing; without clean water life ceases. Even the water in our bodies is involved in every crucial function from digestion - circulation - temperature control - excretion of waste and crying. Because our bodies lose water simply through breathing, sweating and digestion it is important to consistently re-hydrate. It's CRAZY to be hungry and not eat or thirsty and not drink. It's CRAZY to read a book and not grasp its meaning. It's even CRAZIER to embrace a spiritual book like the Holy Bible or the Noble Quran and not grasp the significance of the lessons and principles. Its CRAZY to think that we can be so selective in our beliefs that we can ignore the main tenets they teach in favor of things we want to do. There is no religion that advocates the "ill will" of war upon its fellow human beings. War is CRAZY@! It's crazy to think that we can solve anything by war. War makes murderers out of otherwise upstanding decent people. Why is it still an option in the 21st century? There is no excuse for what we "do to" and fail to "do for" one another. Our character, at best, can be expressed as "a multitude of flaws stitched together by good intentions."  It's just CRAZY@! We like to describe our CRAZY aberrant behavioral manifestations as stress, lunacy, disturbed, unbalanced, nuts, mad, insane or just plain ole CRAZY! In some sense they all mean the same thing. Not doing upkeep or performing maintenance on our dwellings is CRAZY@! A run down body or building doesn't take long to deteriorate when no one is taking care of it. Well what about our planet? Sometimes as a people we behave as if we're CRAZY but we are not insane! So for our purposes here we will describe CRAZINESS as a "temporary" state; and describe insane as being in a "continual" or "permanent" condition. Anybody can be crazy at times but it doesn't make them insane! 

Many of us have some CRAZY practices and sayings like, "leave well enough alone." What does that mean? Isn't it ALWAYS better to nip it in the bud? If we let the wheat and tares grow together the weeds will hinder the growth of the desired crops. Once they both have taken root it is difficult to remove the weeds because of the risk of also uprooting the good crop. Now we have to wait until harvest time to separate them. We are sure everyone understands this principle. It is evidenced over and over again in nature; just as birds of a feather flock together so can one bad apple spoil the entire bunch. It doesn't matter the fruit or the substance. We may not be able to mix oil with water but we can contaminate good with bad. We may act CRAZY but we are not insane! We have the ability to think and behave in a rational manner when we choose to do so. Both CRAZINESS and common sense originate in thought. Thought must be processed, challenged and proven to become "factually" embraced and believed. And even after all of that, the thought can never be considered as all encompassing and complete. We do not have the capacity to connect all the related variables and strands of associated thought together. Our thinking and reasoning is at best limited. It all boils down to staying connected and open to consistent sources of comparative common sense. These are the people and environments behind the courageous voices of concern that correct us out of our CRAZINESS and get us back on course. It is cowardice not to confront craziness. Silence is agreement! Whenever our government, religion or culture spawns "insane ideologies," we must speak out. Not necessarily against the office or organization, but against the idea. CRAZINESS is not self abating. Ignoring it will not make it go away. Insanity will advance like any other type of viral disease. This is why we conduct annual physical exams. Shouldn't we conduct annual mental evaluations as well? Is it CRAZY to wait until multiple problems emerge before addressing mental health? Won't the resulting carnage upon the rest of society be devastating? Why is it that physical healthcare is practiced in a preventative manner and mental healthcare applied as an intervention or remedially? Why do we treat the thinking process so casually?  Now that's CRAZY@!

It is a fact that more and more we are dependent upon advancements in technology to solve many of our problems. This has historically been a controversial but inevitable approach. Whenever and/or wherever human behavior, interactions or production can be improved some policy, tactic or invention is installed to address it. We call such developments progress. It is important to understand that solving many problems also simultaneously creates other issues. Most people are unaware of how multiple advancements in electronics alone have accelerated both automation and warfare from 1948 till now. The tiny transistor alone has transformed the world. Is it crazy to assume that advancements in technologies are going to save the day? Can the runaway freight train we call High Tech, A.I., Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and multiple other forms of data fueled algorithms create their own agenda? If so, is it possible for them to be derailed? Any of these technologies misdirected, misapplied, re-purposed, reinvented or reverse engineered have the same potential as a firearm in the hands of any mentally misguided individual. Historically we have applied many new technologies as solutions to old problem. Traffic lights and signs are a great example of this. As we develop smarter technologies, we also enhance their abilities to do multiple things. Allowing these systems too much power or control can be devastating. When A.I. systems fail they do not fail gracefully. They can run over pedestrians crossing roadways and crash planes inadvertently. They are not designed to make mistakes! They can recognize malfunctions but have no sense of remorse. Errors made by machines simply offer additional data and more room for improvements. By providing m updated and new data associated with past failures they can quickly improve - but at what cost? Blindly trusting technology is shortsighted and naïve. Smart devices are interactive, analytical, instructive, predictive and adaptive. The programs we call algorithms, apps or software, are an extension of imperfect human logic. Can we embed feelings into hardware through implanting processes considered to be artificial or contrived? We may call it artificial because we made it, and call it intelligent because it makes choices; but that label is inaccurate. There can be no such thing as artificial intelligence. Everything, all of existence and all of life has intelligence. Every creature, plant, animal or mineral has an intelligence applied to it and with it. Although we have discovered ways to "apply" intellectual abilities to machines does that give them life? intelligence is innate. Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. The label "artificial intelligence" is a poor substitute for the more accurate terminology called "machine learning." Let's not underestimate the energy of intelligence which has a life of its own. Are we crazy enough to fundamentally believe that humanity can bestow life like attributes upon inanimate objects like rocks, machines and computers? Can't we devise our own "Big Bang Theory" and apply it to inanimate objects? doesn't mean they cannot devise creative energies of their own. The spirit or spark of intelligence can be quickened and enhanced in multiple forms including viruses. At present the highest level of machine intelligence (Deep Learning) works off of brute force assimilation through applying more and more data towards a specific domain. Learning is a prerequisite for the intelligence of thinking. Learning is the act of acquiring a skill, while thinking is the ability to apply that skill across different circumstances. Right now we apply the deep learning to single domains (purposes) only. Who can say that these enormous amounts of data cannot be applied across any and every aspect of life. They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. This road is paved with a multitude of programs, apps and inventions at every turn and the majority of us are blindly traveling along this new superhighway. Do not underestimate this new phenomena. We are in the midst of experiencing "events" with more revolutionary and transformational power than the discovery of the wheel or electricity!

The "CRAZIEST" part of everything to this point is that so few of us truly realize that artificial intelligence is the biggest scientific breakthrough of all times! Just consider the word "automatic." Automatic describes a device or process working in and of itself without human intervention. It also defines something that is done or occurs spontaneously without conscious thought or intention. Although the advance of automation has been typically met with resistance, in the long run it has generally proven to be beneficial to society. The situation may be changing. This time it may be having a different effect.​ Human progress based on the division of labor is under a new assault from two realms generated by machine learning. The escalating growth of automated capabilities along with the simultaneous expansion of efficiency models are outpacing our ability to absorb the effects of such progress. This exponential growth is fueled by escalating data - fed to artificial intelligence - designed to execute machine learning - based on the biases and beliefs of its programmer.  We are at the mercy of systems that can access and manipulate all of the data they have access to. Everything from our blink patterns - to our respiration - to our moods - to our voice inflection and characteristics - to our eating - sleeping - working and entertainment habits - to our likes and preferences. Anything we do can be analysed, scrutinized and conclusions drawn from it. The more technology we use the better it can serve us and the more it can be used against us. A data driven society HAS TO be on guard against the ability to manipulate data and thus alter its interpretation or weaponize it . This is the time when what we think and how we think is subject to multimedia influence and exposure. This "Minority Report" is not meant to examine the dark side but to explore the practical side of how crazy the information age is getting. The newest and most powerful currency is not gold it is data. The newest and most powerful weapon is not a bomb it is explosive information. It's CRAZY when we consider that the majority of the most vulnerable people are compromising their privacy in lieu of convenience for exploitation! We must monitor the way our identity is projected to protect it. Although spell checkers, word finders and grammar assistants help us, our dependence on these systems is making us vulnerable to and dependent on them. Each of us should establish a personal standard independent of automation. I strongly suggest that each of us composes a list of critical tasks and practices independent of automation that we maintain total control of. Yes, it may be time to bring back the "post it" notes and face to face meetings. As our remote controls have evolved from wired to wireless from button to voice, less and less physical effort is required for more and more results. It is only through the advances of technology that we have arrived at a point - where we now have the ability to render ourselves extinct. Maybe automation is teaching us to be lazy, but it's CRAZY to allow it to do so!
