How To Control Someone Else's Arm Using Your Brain

The brain is a complex wonder of the human body. I mean, it pretty much named itself. And it’s a great shame that relatively little is known about the brain.

"The brain is an amazing and complex organ, and while many people are fascinated by the brain, they can't really tell you that much about the properties about how the brain works,” Gage told the TEDTalk audience, ”because we don't teach neurosciences in schools.”

The device requires two (willing) volunteers to be connected merely by electrodes and a computer system, which detects electrical signals of movement, creating a human-to-human interface. Losing free will, one volunteer has his arm jerked towards him by the connections sent from the other volunteer’s brain as she moves her arm. (Watch the video below

As the nerves are close to the skin, the entire process is non-invasive and as such, the device is perfectly safe for kids to use and only requires self-adhesive conductive sticky pads affixed to the arms to work.

Wandering Through The 48 Laws of Power

 Rather than going through all 48 laws and boring you to sleep, I selected ten of them worth commenting on. The other 38 rules are similar in nature; if you want to read them all, just pick up a paperback copy of the book and look at the back cover, as they’re all listed there.

2. Never put too much trust in friends, learn how to use enemies
Here, Greene advises that people should not trust their friends in any significant way, using the story of Michael III‘s assassination by his former friend Basil I as an example. In general, you should never mix friendship and work – good advice. Instead, he advises that you place enemies in positions of power around you, as they have a lot to prove and can also provide great insight – I immediately thought of Abraham Lincoln’s inclusion of his political enemies in the Cabinet during the Civil War, a tactic outlined in the fascinating Team of Rivals.

My thoughts? I agree that it’s generally a good idea to not mix friendship and work – I have avoided making deep friendships with my coworkers. As for enemies, I tend to feel that working out conflicts with other people and actually working with them on projects can be beneficial to everyone involved – you can often come up with some great solutions and really set a good example of teamwork if you make an effort to work with your enemy. I essentially agree with this rule.

4. Always say less than necessary
Greene uses a myth about Coriolanus speaking too much (and thus ruining his reputation) and then holds up Louis XIV as a paragon of the virtue of speaking in brief. Both, actually, are completely mythological – very little is actually known about Coriolanus and the quote he uses from Louis XIV – L’État, c’est moi – was actually conceived by his opponents to make him seem egotistical.

This rule is a little strong for my taste – I generally believe in saying just what’s necessary because saying more than that is usually a detriment. Every time I’ve underplayed my knowledge, it’s actually ended up being a detriment to me as I’ve later been accused of hiding information. I think a philosophy of giving the relevant information but keeping it brief is the best route to follow.

7. Get others to do the work for you, but always take the credit
This is a pretty blunt one. Greene backs it up by retelling the classic tale of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison – Tesla may have been the better scientist, but Edison knew how to find others, employ them in his labs, and then take broader credit for the inventions.

At first glance, this is a deeply underhanded method of gaining power – it seems to warrant cheating, paying others to complete your papers, and so forth. Think of it this way, though – how often has your manager presented work you’ve done to demonstrate the work of the group – in other words, to make your manager look good? It’s generally accepted that a person receives more respect if he acknowledges the hard work of individual team members – I’ve seen this from the perspective of the team member, the person doing the reporting, and the person being reported to.

11. Learn to keep people dependent on you
Many people feel that the way to safety is to be a sycophant to a powerful boss. This isn’t true; as soon as you make a mis-step, they can easily get rid of you and replace you with another. Instead, Greene urges you to ally yourself with a weak boss and then focus on making yourself indispensable – create a situation where without you, their power would collapse. At that point, who has the power?

Greene uses the story of Otto von Bismarck and his relationship with the various Kaisers of Germany to illustrate the point. Bismarck was able to work tightly with some of the late Kaisers and push them into unifying Germany, making himself the first Chancellor in the process. A strong Kaiser could have tossed Bismarck aside for these moves, but the weak ones were so reliant on Bismarck that they let him lead.

12. Use selective honesty and generosity to disarm your victim
I believe the appropriate term for this is “sucking up,” though it takes the interesting twist of viewing the person you’re sucking up to as the victim. One could also view this as building a fake relationship with someone in order to exploit them. Either way, it’s a behavior that doesn’t win you much respect from others.

Greene uses several anecdotes in this chapter, most interestingly one actually involving a rather clever con man. Of course, that just illustrates the dishonesty of this approach – you’re basically being a confidence man when you cultivate relationships like this just to manipulate people.

14. Pose as a friend, work as a spy
This rule encourages the reader to use social situations to spy on the “enemy.” In other words, you should act friendly towards people you view as adversaries at social gatherings, hopefully disarming them, and then use this vague trust to probe them for information. I immediately thought of a person I know who will make small talk for a minute, then immediately start asking me questions about my computer consulting business.

To illustrate the point, Greene tells about the techniques Joseph Duveen, arguably the most successful art dealer of all time, and the techniques he used for finding clients. Basically, he used social situations to find out tons of details about prospective clients, then utilized these details to wow them.

16. Use absence to increase respect and honor
The discussion of this law involves the tale of Deioces, a highly respected judge who withdrew from public life; when the public realized how valuable he was as a judge to their society, they made him king.

Greene proposes that this same philosophy is often true. If you provide a valuable service for people, making yourself absent for a period will make them really appreciate the service that you provide. While this is true, it is extremely easy for this to backfire on you – people can discover that you’re not as valuable as you might hope, for instance. One way to do this effectively is to utilize your vacation time and go on a “no-contact” vacation.

20. Do not commit to anyone
The idea here is that by not strictly committing to anything, when you do produce it creates the impression of coming off as a grand favor. Greene uses Elizabeth I as one example here – she never married or bore children, but used hints of potential courtship to get exactly what she wanted.

While this can be a great tactic to use if you have value that others want – think of a skilled plumber in a city, for example – if you don’t, not committing and trying to play people off of each other will merely earn you enemies.

34. Be royal in your own fashion: Act like a king to be treated by one
This is one of the best pieces of advice in the entire book and one that I wholeheartedly agree with. There are few things you can do to improve yourself in the eyes of others than to appear mature and respectable and to value your personal appearance. If you act vulgar and crude, people will simply treat you with less respect.

Greene uses the example of Louis-Philippe to show the value of carrying yourself well, arguing that a big piece of his downfall was his attempts at appearing as a common man and not as a leader. An interesting take, though it was his increasingly ultraconservative governance that eventually brought him down.

41. Avoid stepping into a great man’s shoes
Generally, it is extremely difficult to follow a person who has done a tremendous job. People have come to expect excellence from the position, and as a replacement, you’re not only expected to uphold that excellence but also learn all of the trappings of the job very quickly. Greene basically says that one should not do this – the risks are too high. Instead, if you must fill that role, make it your own.

To illustrate, he uses the examples of Alexander the Great and Napoleon III. Alexander took what his father, Phillip of Macedonia, had built and used it as the foundation for much greater things. Napoleon III, on the other hand, stepped into his role as leader of France and took the nation in many unexpected directions, quickly stepping away from the shadow of his namesake.

Buy or Don’t Buy?

If you work in a large office environment, you’ve probably met people who do most of the things above. Consider what you think of these people. Do you like that person who seems to always skip out on meetings where they’re needed? What about the person that puts up a false front to everyone, acting generous and honest, but then behaves very coldly when push comes to shove? What about the guy who marches around like he’s God’s gift to the company, but rarely steps up to the plate when it’s really needed?

If you’re like me, you can’t stand these people and you’re much more likely to help out the straight shooter down the hall when he needs a hand than the person playing these games. The 48 Laws of Power is basically a litany of all of these various power games that people like to play. Playing them yourself is likely to have two effects: you’ll gain some power over some people and get a lot of resentment from the rest of them.

Obviously, a few of these rules do make sense for most – making your job your own, for example – but the nuggets of usefulness are surrounded by a deep mist of questionable behavior.

So why read this book? It does a brilliant job of explaining the logic and mindset of people who play such games to get power. If you want to understand why people play these games, this is a book well worth reading. It is interestingly written as well, with a lot of somewhat biased historical anecdotes (don’t take them as fact, as many are myths or are somewhat inaccurate) to support each of the points. The book itself is also laid out quite impressively, giving it a particular weightiness that’s also somehow inviting for browsing.

My belief is that real power comes from earning respect, and this is just a list of shortcuts that will easily fall apart under scrutiny. This book is useful for no other reason than it clues you in to how some people tend to think, particularly those that are overly power hungry. For that reason alone, if you work in a competitive office environment, this book is worth reading just to understand the logic behind some of these games. Of course, playing these games yourself is highly likely to get you labelled as the office scumbag, so tread lightly on this stuff – use it to understand the behavior of others, not to try to gain power yourself.

How to Unlock Android Phone Pattern Lock With Out Loosing Data

Back in 2008 Google introduced us a new kind of entry protection for devices running under Android operating system. This protection was named Pattern Lock, and it allows users to swipe in a specific pattern across 9 locks to unlock their Android device. This input is much easier and faster to enter and it also offers higher protection then a 4 digital PIN code. But as it happens for every protection some people have found ways to bypass them and the same thing happened with Pattern Lock. In this tutorial I will show you how to bypass Pattern Lock on your Android device in case you have forgotten it and need to access your phone.

Android Pattern Lock

To make this procedure possible you must have ADB installed on your computer. If you don’t have it, here is how to install it on your Windows PC and Mac PC.

Another thing is that you must have USB debugging enabled before device was locked with pattern.

Step 1: First thing you need to do is connect your Android device with your computer via USB to microUSB cable.

Step 2: Now open the folder where you have installed your ADB.

Step 3: Press Shift and right mouse click on blank space inside ADB folder.

Step 4: From context menu that shows up click on Open command window here.

Step 5: When command prompt window opens up type following commands making sure you press Enter on keyboard after every line.

adb shell
cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
sqlite3 settings.db
update system set value=0 where name=’lock_pattern_autolock’;
update system set value=0 where name=’lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently’;
.quit

Step 6: Once you confirm the last line inside command prompt, reboot your Android device.

Step 7: Once Android loads up the Pattern Lock has been disabled. Simply swipe over any pattern and you can now access your Android device.

How much is your body worth

     No price can be put on a life. But whether we like it or not, once a person has died, there is value to the human body as a commodity. And different parts of our body are worth different amounts—while corneas are small, they fetch a large price (£15,000, or about $22,450), whereas our skeleton garners significantly less (£5,000, about $7,483). The price also depends on whether the body part is sold for specimen use, transplants, or on the black market.

Religion the number one cause of poverty!

One of the things religion provides to the human spirit is hope. Prayer is a refuge for people who are failing but aren't ready to despair. Obviously, the wealthy are more likely to be content with their state and less likely to feel they need supernatural help to accomplish things. Those already content with life perceive less need for religion to inspire them. If they think about it at all, they decide that God must be on their side already, and maybe they remember to thank him.

I think people stay in poverty for one of two reasons: their own incompetence, or lack of opportunity.

Often when the cause is their own incompetence, people in poverty take the "Jesus do it for me" approach and do nothing themselves to climb out. In that case I don't believe it's fair to blame the religion for their condition. But when the cause is lack of opportunity, it's often the case that those who deny them opportunity encourage a theology that teaches them to be content to be poor. It still isn't religion that causes the poverty -- religion merely provides a rational excuse for what would otherwise be obvious injustice.

So I guess I'd conclude that religion facilitates laziness which cause poverty,then in turn poverty causes more religion. and the circle keeps going ..this behavior is called hopend !

I routinely check out the latest gallup polls, and they often have ones about religion.  I just saw this one:

People were asked if religion played an important part in their daily lives, the dark green states said yes with rates as high as 85% saying yes, and the lightest states said no with rates as low as half of that saying religion was important to their daily lives.

Out of curiosity I wondered what the poverty rates were in the dark and light regions and guessed there would be some kind of correlation.  So I googled it and the first map I found (from the CDC) indicating poverty geographically showed this:

 Notice any sort of correlation?

Now three things can be deduced from this:

One, it's a random fluke.  Unlikely, but possible.

Two, it indicates that religion causes poverty.

Or three, it indicates that poverty promotes religious adherence.

I think it's a combination of 2 and 3.  I think that religion generally throws a monkey wrench into society when politicians use it to get elected, swindle their constituents and ignore their needs, and I think - actually make that I know that sadness and pain and kittens dying etc promotes religious adherence.  There is almost always an up-tick in church attendance and other social indicators of religious adherence whenever there is a disaster.  Bear in mind homicide rates and pregnancies go up as well, religion isn't the only way people cope with bad times.

The reason this is important is because it puts religion not in the realm of something we objectively know or can verify or can independently conclude, but rather in the realm of human psychology.  Religious devotion isn't caused by god reaching down from heaven and touching your soul, it is caused by your upbringing, culture and life experiences.  If god called out to all people and everyone "knew god in their hearts" as many evangelists claim, or the evidence for christianity is abundantly obvious as many creationists insist, then there would not be correlations like this, and poverty, disasters and geography wouldn't determine religious belief.  But they do.

Miracle Pill to Stop Aging!

A Russian scientist says he has beaten the problem of aging and in just a few years the medicine that stops it will go on sale.

Professor Vladimir Skulachev says he managed to find an anti-oxidant that stops the gradual deterioration of health caused by age.

It looks complicated and it certainly is. For Vladimir Skulachev it is almost a life's work. Two more years of testing and the doctor thinks he will have finally cracked the enigma of aging.

Apparently it's all about how oxygen reacts in the body.

“99% of the time oxygen turns into harmless water, but there's that one percent that turns into a super-oxide that later turns into very poisonous elements,” Vladimir Skulachev, Professor of Bioenergetics, reveals. “So the task was to find an anti-oxidant that stops that process.”

And hence, according to the professor, it would also stop people from getting old.

He has been working to prefect his treatment for more than 40 years. The difficult part of the process has been to try and prevent any side-effects, he notes.

Colleagues around the world think Dr Skulachev is on to something.

Nobel Prize winner Dr. Gunter Blobel, M.D., Ph.D. at Rockefeller University, believes Skulachev’s theories look very realistic.

“It has been shown that oxidative damage is huge. But we do not have an anti-oxidant of the type that Skulachev has developed. He coined the term bioenergetics. He is clearly the world’s best bio-chemist and bio-energetic scientist,” Blobel stated.

The compound has already undergone animal testing and the results appear promising.

Rats that have been given the drug are much more lively than those not treated.

“Finally, we hope that we will manage to convince people that a single pill treats many threats of aging. So, it must be doing something with the aging itself,” Maksim Skulachev Cand. Sc. (Biology) explains. “Then, if authorities will accept this logic, maybe we could somehow market it as anti-aging drug.”

After success with eye drops in animals, the inventor tried the medicine on his own cataract.

Six months later, his physician told him his cataract was gone.

Thousands are queuing to take part in the clinical trials, which have just begun. But it will be a few years before Dr Skulachev's discovery reaches the shelves of an average pharmacy.

Some have already dubbed the drug a panacea. And if it lives up to its promise, the treatment should have an effect on the diseases of aging and bring with it the prospect of a longer and better quality of life.

Apple TV could destroy console gaming

Earlier this week, Nat Brown, one of the original Xbox team members at Microsoft, wrote a piece on the present and future of gaming, and Apple's potential to shape it.
   A game-enabled Apple HDTV or set-top box would be the death of console gaming as we know it, according to the man who co-founded Microsoft's Xbox.

In a post on his personal blog, entitled "Stupid, Stupid Xbox!" Nat Brown bemoaned the lack of opportunities for third-party game developers to make money in the console world, like they can on iOS and Android.
He said if Apple chooses to bring its App Store success to any forthcoming TV-related projects, developers would jump on board and it could wipe out the likes of Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft.
He said: "Apple, if it chooses to do so, will simply kill Playstation, Wii U, and Xbox by introducing an open 30 per cent cut app/game ecosystem for Apple TV," wrote Brown, who claims to have named the Xbox back in the day.

Ecosystem not growing

Brown added that Microsoft's biggest problem going forward is the lack of a developing ecosystem that allows devs to create games for Xbox with inexpensive equipment.
"I will be the first to write apps for Apple TV when I can, and I know I'll make money. I would for Xbox if I could and I knew I would make money," he vowed.
"Xbox's primary critical problem is the lack of a functional and growing platform ecosystem for small developers to sell digitally/network-distributed (non-disc) content through to the installed base of Xbox customers, period.
"Why can't I write a game for Xbox tomorrow using $100 worth of tools and my existing Windows laptop and test it on my home Xbox or at my friends' houses? Why can't I then distribute it digitally in a decent online store... like I can for Android or iPhone, or for iPad?"
Brown pointed out that Microsoft charges console developers $10,000 a year to publish games on the platform and demands a ton of paperwork is filed alongside that massive chunk of wonga, virtually ruling small developers out of embracing the platform.

Do you think Apple has the ability to take over our living room gaming activities even with the Xbox 720 and PS4 on the horizon? Let us know in the comments section below.

Why do Fathers Love their Daughters More & Mothers their Sons?

It's natural for men to compete with each other, but it's usually healthy competition. Boys look up to their fathers, but also compete with them as the alpha-male of the household. This is a natural and subconscious response. Boys feel less threatened by their mothers and so are more apt to share more with their mothers, especially in the area of feelings. This makes mothers and Sons closer than Fathers and Sons. The same goes with bringing Fathers and Daughters closer together

According to Freud, children go through a phase of attachments to the opposite sex parent which is called "oedipal complex", based on the ancient Greek story of Oedipus who ended up unknowingly killing his father and marrying his mother.
Basically the little boy is "in love" with his mommy until he realizes that daddy won't let him take her away so the boy redirects his desire from his mom to other women.

This theory was very rough then and has been refined and reviewed almost beyond recognition many times. But yeah girls do go through a phase where daddy's the best man in the world and boys through a phase where mommy's the most beautiful.

In the early days of psychology, Sigmund Freud developed a unique conception of how the child’s personality develops.

Freud theorized that child development occurs in three distinct phases: the oral stage, the anal stage and the phallic stage. The Oedipus and Electra complexes occur at a subconscious level within boys and girls respectively, during the phallic stage of development.

The Oedipus Complex

The Oedipus complex argues that the young boy desires his mother as a love interest. According to Freud, "Unfortunately for the boy, his father stands in the way of his love. The boy therefore feels aggression and envy towards this rival, his father, and also feels fear that the father will strike back at him." The boy expects that he will punished by his father, for his desire, by being castrated.

This anxiety is exacerbated when the boy realizes that girls have no penis; he assumes that they have had their penis removed as a punishment. The boy realizes that he cannot possess his mother and place himself opposite his father as a rival; instead he learns that he must possess another female and identify with his father.

The Electra Complex

The Electra complex acts as the female equivalent of the Oedipus complex states that the young girl is attached to the mother, like the young boy. This is not surprising, as the mother tends to be the primary caregiver and object of desire.

Upon realizing that the she, as all women, has no penis and subsequently she suffers "penis envy." Like the boy in the Oedipus complex, "the girl learns her role by identifying with her mother in an attempt to possess her father vicariously."

Fixation in Freud's Child Development Theory

As with the other stages in the child’s development, fixation that occurs at the phallic stage may produce certain characteristics, in this case: "a phallic character, who is reckless, resolute, self-assured, and narcissistic – excessively vain and proud." The failure to resolve the conflict can also cause a person to be afraid or incapable of close love.

Freud postulated that fixation at the phallic stage could be a root cause of homosexuality.

Today's View of the Oedipus and Electra Complex

Although both the Oedipus and Electra complexes have been subjected to harsh criticism, especially from feminists, Freud’s influence does seem to echo throughout adult life in terms of male and female characteristics and behaviors.

Boys learn that they must become like their father, who is stereotypically aggressive, ambitious, powerful, and in direct contrast to his mother, who is stereotypically passive, obedient and nurturing.

As the boy learns to identify with his father, the girl learns to identify with the mother. As such, the way that both the boy and the girl come to relate to their mother and father, by way of the Oedipus and Electra complexes, will determine their behaviors and affect their relationships in later life.
