Passions:
My main passion in engineering is computer science and software engineering, particularly in application to machine learning, data science, and systems engineering. I value the intuition and power of the subconscious mind, and find that for a long time intuition has been the limiting factor that prevented computers from passing Turing Tests and beating humans in Chess and Go. However, machine learning allows computers to do the thing we thought was impossible - think creatively and intuitively. Throughout human history people have tried to predict the future using whatever medium or oracle they had, ranging from naive systems like the Tarot and Norse Runes, to modern methods such as linear regression and technical analysis. Machine learning allows us to find patterns where there are none, create order out of chaos, and predict the future with stunning accuracy in a growing number of fields.
The power and sophistication of the computer is like an ocean, and we are the land. Just as the ocean rises on our planet because of climate change, the ocean of technology rises inevitably. And, I plan on building a boat.
Outside of computer science I am interested in the psychology of the subconscious mind and its utilization to improve mental performance and leverage the psycho-somatic effect, remote sensing (especially in application to wildfires), drones and their autonomy, SpaceX and agile development methods being applied to inefficient and stagnant industries i.e. (aerospace, automotive, energy), renewable technology, personal finance, biotechnology, and lastly, controversial areas of science, like parapsychology, NDEs, Global Consciousness Project, and the DNA phantom effect.
The Looking at an Object like an Extraterrestrial activity:
In this activity, we practiced looking at an object with the perspective of an extraterrestrial, which is analogous to abandoning all preconceptions about a particular object and instead observing with less bias. In this way we take in details we normally take for granted that might be significant.
Object: AirPods and case.
The object is smooth and rounded which could be for a practical purpose or for aesthetics.
What is its shape?
The basic shape of the object has perfect horizontal and vertical symmetry. It is white and has a small rectangular outlet on the bottom and a small indent for a what appears to be a button on the back. There is also a hinge.
Was this object designed intelligently?
Evidently, this object was designed intelligently and was made by the humans with their biology in mind. It is sized to fit in a human hand and the symmetry has statistically significant unlikeliness to be non natural.
What material group is it made of?
The objects texture indicates it is made of the carbon based plastics humans use frequently in consumer objects.
