When Countries Give Billions Of Dollars To Corporations

When billions of dollars are given to corporations, universities and others to support development of technologies and industries, shares of the companies or resultant patents should be given to taxpayers.

How? Set up a special purpose company (SPC) for the investment. Have corporations issue new shares at a generous price to the SPC in return for the investment. Then SPC in return issue shares to taxpayers. Using an SPC makes it easier to divide shares for taxpayers.

For example, if the SPC is given a 1% stake, then the SPC can issue new 200 million shares in the SPC to 200 million taxpayers. Just give everyone who pays taxes a share. Don't give more shares to those who pay more taxes. That's not good for wealth redistribution. Think of it as a sort of a bridge to universal income. 

Same thing for patents, the SPC signs a contract to receive a share of royalties in return for the investment. 

Just don't keep giving money to corporations and giving tax incentives for nothing in return but false promises of JOBS and a good ECONOMY. Hello! Can you hear me? LOL

Samsung plans to have a fully automated semiconductor plant by 2030. Seems contrary to their promise to create tons of jobs. Apparently, the condition 'unless employing people is unprofitable' applies. 

Rethinking Dimensions

The present system of describing dimensions is confusing? Yes?

People say space-time is a dimension. Then people also state that space has three dimensions with time being a fourth dimension. Let's clear this confusion up, people.

Should we describe space-time as a fundamental dimension or base dimension?

If space and time are really one thing, then maybe there are other similar relationships.

Structure-information? If something has structure, there is information. 

Energy-life? Where there is life, there is energy.

Life-intelligence? Where there is life, there seems to be intelligence of some sort. Life reacts to environment and survives.

For me, the fundamental dimensions should be energy-life, space-time, structure-information, and maybe some more. 

Using DNA To Build Materials, Nano-robots

In DNA, scientists find solution to engineering transformative electronics

Engineered DNA assemble carbon nanotubes into the desired structures. The new material could lead to room temperature superconductivity.

A 'nano-robot' built entirely from DNA to explore cell processes

The "nano-robot" is composed of three DNA origami structures and can go around and squeeze individual cells to better understand the molecular mechanisms involved in cell mechanosensitivity and discover new cell receptors sensitive to mechanical forces (blood vessel constriction, pain perception, breathing or even the detection of sound waves in the ear, cancer cell migration, etc.).

That's pretty advanced. 

Cells And Consciousness?

A human's consciousness appears to be a collective consciousness of all or most of the body's cells and maybe some other things (books, environment, accessible information). 

While a body's collective consciousness knows what a cell is, does the cell know the body's collective consciousness?

Maybe a universal collective consciousness (or data/knowledge dimension) knows humans, while humans are like a cell?  

Pot was a common food ingredient in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and other Asian countries before the UN made it illegal. Still is used in food in Cambodia and Thailand. 

Also not criminalized in Korea until ex-dictator Park's son started using pot in late 1960s or early 1970s. Then they made long hair illegal for men in an attempt to stamp out hippies and hippyism. Police forcing men to get their hair cut short. Geez! 

Long Journey To Legalization

Korean Prez Approval Rating At Record Low

Yoon's approval rating dropped to 28% despite all the favorable coverage from the mostly conservative Korean media.

Yoon's approval rating sinks below 30 pct amid inflation, controversy over personnel appointments

Korean economy is forecast to grow 2.7%. Media says the economy is doing great. I remember media vehemently argued that around a grow rate of around 2.7% is extremely disappointing and due to the 'bad' economic policies of former President Moon.

Rich & Powerful Addicted To Social Media?

Many like Musk and Trump apparently are.

Craving the recognition and attention. The life of the rich and famous.

Craving privacy and solitude, until society catches up? The life of the cognitively consonant.

Overcoming addiction to honey might prove impossible. LOL

Would two teaspoons once every week, or three days be considered an addiction? Hope not, but probably so, in strict terms.

If there is honey, it's hard to skip a day or two without honey with milk and/or tea. Mostly tied to enjoyment and pleasure.

Sugar? Even bacteria and viruses can't eat it raw or in high concentrations. Same with honey.

Soap and shampoo? Mostly made of corrosive and poisonous chemicals. Will probably change a lot in the future. Some cosmetics and hygiene products are already making the change, in terms of marketing and some ingredients.

Re-entered stock market for the time being. 

Good Sleep Increases Intelligence?

According to a BBC program Animal Einstein (Builder), the intelligence of orangutans was tested before and after they were given human bedding materials.

Orangutans normally build beds in trees using branches and leaves. Their intelligence was tested using images on a touchscreen. 

They were then given sheets, pillows, blankets, and other materials. Their quality of sleep was measured through brain waves.

With the given materials, the orangutans were able to achieve a more restful sleep than before and they immediately showed improvements in their intelligence tests.

How does sleep improve intelligence?

Why is sleep needed? Probably many reasons, as eerily stated before.

The BBC program proposes that better sleep led to higher intelligence. Monkey, chimps, orangutans built hammocks or beds in trees and slept better. They learned to build better beds and hammocks, some with roofs to protect from rain. Got more intelligent.
