All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.

How to discover beneficial things?
What visionary ideas can guide research to accomplish broad benefits for humanity?
Is it true that 'I am existing' or 'You are existing'?
What is freedom of self determination and action independent of external causes?
The most interesting phenomena in Nature are Mind, Life, and the Universe itself.
By getting to know our own Mind, we get to know the World and the Universe.
What are the final consequences of World oil reserves exhaustion?
Many simple nonlinear deterministic systems can behave in an apparently unpredictable and chaotic manner.
What is Life?
What is my life mission in the world?
The purpose of life is to live in agreement with Nature.
Beauty rises from the silence of Your existence.
Nothing exists if it does not exist in your Mind.
How real is any Reality that you can't actually experience?
We cannot understand our own lives unless we understand the Reality that we live in, and we cannot understand the Reality we live in unless we understand its original cause.
Can we understand the origin of the Universe?
How can we die if we are not real in any physical sense?
Can we know either that God exists or that God does not exist?
Might it be that the core laws of quantum mechanics, like entropy and the second law of thermodynamics, really belong to a wider domain of nature than physics?
Is it true that our minds exist outside the material world and interact with our brains at the quantum level?
What makes the living entity to think of himself as a material product and thus undergo unwanted reactions of material miseries?
Can human conscious intention directly influence the probability of quantum-mechanical events?
Is consciousness a violation of quantum mechanics?
How can we know that the perceptual unity of consciousness is a real thing?
Is it possible to separate the measurement process from consciousness?
How could systematic and coherent quantum processes - assumed to be the physical support of our conscious experiences - occur in a macroscopic system as the brain?
We may suspect that quantum mechanics and consciousness are related, but the details are not at all clear.
We don't need bodies but we can't live without them.
The important thing is not to be human but to be humane.
One must understand what are Processes, Time, and Causality.
How the Time is connected in the Spirit?
How is Time related to Mind?
What are the differences between Soul, Spirit, Self and Mind?
Are human beings composed of two parts, a material body and a nonmaterial soul, or are human beings purely physical beings?
What is Recursive Self-Improvement?
Can we create a self-organizing systems to systematically discover and replicate positive, scalable small things?
How to cultivate the purity of the mind?
Which is better, a paranoid partner or a perverted patriarch?
Let's define the initial set of system parameters before Big Bang 'point Z'. We can also call this Singularity.
The Entropy of 'point Z' must have been very low - i.e. there was Infinite Order.
What is Infinity?
What is the relationship between the finite and the infinite?
How a being with a finite brain and mind can comprehend infinity?
How would every thing appear to a man if the doors of perception were cleansed?
Why Entropy was so low in the past?
What is infinite order?
Can there be absolute non-relative order?
When Singularity is an absolute order we must be aware how order relates to
Consciousness.
What is Consciousness?
What is collective consciousness?
How is it possible that consciousness is able to observe consciousness itself?
With violence everywhere, threatening our futures, might clearer understanding of consciousness help our survival?
People often find consciousness mysterious, but the real mystery is awareness - and many other animals are aware, so this is not a specifically human mystery.
Why does awareness of sensory information exist at all?
How exactly do neurobiological processes in the brain cause consciousness?
What are the relations between consciousness and the brain?
What is the relationship between conscious and unconscious processes?
What is the relation between Time and Causality?
Does Time require Consciousness?
Consciousness probably requires a brain-based sense of time, but does time require consciousness?
What is future? What is the best definition for future?
What is Systems Theory? System parameters can strongly influence long-term future development.
Why do complex adaptive systems tend to evolve toward the boundary between order and chaos?
Is one able to forecast on the basis of second-order systems theory?
The interaction of order and chaos may be seen as the primordial genesis of all forces and all processes in our Universe.
Nature is dominated by nonlinear systems and that significant aspects of their long range behavior cannot be predicted in principle due to their sensitivity to the slightest perturbation.
The false 'point Z' caused wrong attractor to become active.
All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the children of the Earth.
Uncertainty as a principle can be found at other levels of our understanding of the Universe, at both the smallest and largest scales.
Can we ever discover that the hypothesized alternative Universes are really there?
Why is there something rather than nothing?
We can not change the point Z meaning that we have no negative feedback in the System.
Does Science investigate Meaning?
What are the implications of the fact that History does not have negative feedback?
How can we find the strategy of victory to the System without negative feedback?
Our historical system is in deep crisis.
History seems to continuously repeat the story of the three brothers.
Monetary system, implementing positive feedback, is the most important cause of that crisis in the Society.
The world economy may be regarded as a giant apparatus with various positive and negative feedback mechanisms, random nputs (e.g. weather patterns), control variables (e.g. nvestment decisions) and outputs. Some outputs are desirable, others undesirable.
How do Heisenberg uncertainty principles affect our future?
How do uncertainty principles affect the future of one's personal self and the future of Global Superorganism?
A case can be made that the hypothesis that we are living in a computer
simulation should be given a significant probability.
Time and space may not really exist.
Society can be viewed as a multicellular organism, with individuals in the
role of the cells. The network of communication channels connecting
individuals then plays the role of a nervous system for this Superorganism,
i.e. a "Global Brain".
Economy is the rule of half-alive minds.
Why do we continue to obey economic laws that are causing severe psychological and economic damage and that are driving humanity to the brink of extinction?
There is a possibility that a badly programmed Superintelligence takes
over and implements the faulty goals it has erroneously been given.
Why are there hundreds of AI engineering projects in place at various universities and companies throughout the world, but, nearly all of these involve building specialized AI systems restricted to one aspect of the mind, rather than creating an overall intelligent system?
Think about attaching semantic primitives to the pixels.
Why are there so few AI projects directly aimed at actually creating an autonomous, creative, digital intelligence?
Our collective fear-response is likely ill calibrated to the magnitude of
threat.
Human civilization will continue to change until we either create
Superintelligence, or wipe ourselves out.
Getting Superintelligence early is desirable because it would help diminish
other risks.
If we want to ensure that progressive changes remain irreversible, the surest way to do it is to ensure that the flow of information technology does not diminish.
How can we sustain the flow of information technology to the society?
Information Technology is dual-use technology and may be a great risk factor in wrong hands.
What are memes and how they interact with Language, Consciousness, Self and Global Superorganism?
Information Technology may cause harmful memetic infection to the Society.
Information Technology may also heal past memetic infections of Global Superorganism.
Ideas are not inert; they have the power to replicate despite the efforts of humans to control them.
What are the environmental impacts of Information Technology?
How can we predict long term social impacts of information technology?
If the primitive society lives on but fails to ever get back to current
technological levels, let alone go beyond it, then we have an example of a
crunch.
If plenty of information about our technological feats is preserved, that
could make a rebirth of civilization easier.
If the Great Filter isn't in our past, we must fear it in our near future.
Academics are rewarded mainly for telling a good story, rather than for
being right.
If mental states are identical to brain states then there is no spirit.
What are the differences between one-way functions and Causality?
Why should causality hold in the way that it does?
Try to remove the developed limits of our biological and mental heritage, the natural limits of our environment, and the cultural and historical limits of the Society which limit individual and collective progress.
Ever think you have all of the answers only to find out that you have gone in the wrong direction?
How can we find the winning strategy in the system without negative feedback?
How can we find the exit from this dimension?
Who is the one who is experiencing this moment?
Am I an atheist like Buddha?
