Tidbits and notes posted on FB and Twitter. Part 181
Note: I take notes of books I read and comment on events and edit sentences that fit my style. I pa attention to researched documentaries and serious links I receive. The page is long and growing like crazy, and the sections I post contains a month-old events that are worth refreshing your memory.
Adolescent Doron Blake with an IQ of 180, born in 1982, stated in a TV interview:
“Having a high IQ does not make me a good or a happy person. Being intelligent is not enough to define an individual. What kids need is not to be pressured by over motivated parents for solely education purposes. What I appreciate most in me is my capacity for loving others; I don’t think it is feasible to select genetically good and loving individual; nurturing is the key factor here.
Billionaire Robert Graham wanted to store sperms of Nobel Laureates in order “to improve human intelligence by eugenics selection“. The Nobel Laureates declined the temptation and the foundation went after second choices for successful and smart people in all fields.
Lebanon Central Bank failed to produce yearly balance sheet since 2002. Why? Most of the credits are being borrowed internally from local banks that are growing richer and more omnipotent in every economical sector: The banks own most of the wealth in Lebanon, alongside the religious real estates…
Minister of Israel offensive forces Lieberman is outraged that Lebanese kids are swimming in the sea amid a totally dirty and polluted beach, while Israelis in Tel Aviv will be living in bunkers when the next war starts
Suppose human species could Not die before a certain age, no matter what. Would policemen carry weapons? Would any war start? How our civilization would have changed? It is very upsetting Not to be able to kill.
4,000 Syrian kids refugees in Germany opted to return home to re-join their parents this year.
Why do we always show we got power when we buy from and bilk the needy ones? And why do we get generous to those who do not even need our generosity?
Une nation habitable? Par qui? Les touristes?
Capacite’ de resister a la faim? Au nom d’un esprit national? C’ est la degradation de l’humanite’ collective. C’est l’esprit de l’imperialism economique qui veut degrader l’humanite’ du tier monde pour accepter la misere de son destin.
This anomy system in Lebanon. When every deputy who has been retaining his chair for over 2 decades (by elections and self extension of tenure) managed to become a businessman and swapped shares in the businesses of the other deputies, the Parliament is doomed to legislate for their own businesses. The rest of the citizens don’t count for lost opportunities.

Digitizing Human Memory: any Problems? (February 11, 2009)
Do you know that a foundation in California called “Repository for Germinal Choice” had already generated over 200 babies by artificial insemination of “exceptional parents” in sciences, sports, and successful private entrepreneurial?
The mother recipient has to undergo test of intelligence and score high IQ. The billionaire Robert Graham had this lube of storing sperms of Nobel Laureates in order “to improve human intelligence by eugenics selection“.
The Nobel Laureates declined the temptation and the foundation went after second choices for successful and smart people in all fields.
Daniel Plotz published in 2005 “The Genius Factory: Unraveling the Mystery of the Nobel Prize Sperm Bank“. Plotz managed to locate 15 out of the 200 “super intelligent” kids, but so far only one family agreed to come out publicly.
One of the new breed is Doron Blake with an IQ of 180 and born in 1982. This adolescent stated in a TV interview:
“Having a high IQ does not make me a good or a happy person. Being intelligent is not enough to define an individual. What kids need is not to be pressured by over motivated parents for solely education purposes. What I appreciate most in me is my capacity for loving others; I don’t think it is feasible to select genetically good and loving individual; nurturing is the key factor here.
On another front, it seems that researchers in cognition are attempting to transfer electrical impulses from human memory into digital signals.
This phase of the endeavor might be possible with the nanotechnology where microscopic elements are infused in the blood reaching specific sections of the brain.
The first problem would be what hard or soft storage technology would be appropriate to transfer that much information and at what speed.
The second difficulty is the hardest: Given that the headaches in the first stage are ironed out then how to interpret the stored data?
I have taken many courses in human memory and what I recall is that it is not reliable.
The critical problem would be the interpretation of the data.
I am inclined to believe that most of the research would not be geared to emulating human intelligence or its problem solving capability or how man transfer its information to the “dust bin” and then how he recovers the needed information to survive and go on living.
What the zealot researchers don’t know is how the data would “benefit” other objectives.
The providers of funds and decision makers surely have different agendas that researchers are not supposed to know at this stage.
One agenda is probably to transfer the memory of one person to another person or to a robot and test and evaluate and eliminate and improve and then scrap projects after sinking in billions of scarce resources.
