Learning is never ending process

What is learning? 

Learning is a never-ending process. Deeper you dive, the more you will find the depth. Sometimes I think, learning makes us wise but probable to make us mad. If we left to study in the middle of the journey, the chances we go mad is more likely. This may not apply to everyone, but I felt this kind of experience. 

Firstly, I would like to illuminate my knowledge regarding the learning means. I believe learning is an endless activity. No one can be omniscient, not even the god. Let's take an example, there is a person inside a dark room. He can't see anything, no lights, no doors, no windows, literally nothing. But that doesn't mean that room is empty. There could be furniture; there could be books or so many others. He can assume that there is nothing inside the room. He might be right but not necessarily. Metaphorically we can relate this situation with the never-ending process of learning. The more he tried to walk around the room more he will discover things. Learning is like creating a light. The more light he will create in that dark room, the things would become more clear. 

Secondly, there could be myriads of subjects you never know that exist. Those who think that they are perfect, omniscient, and stops learning, will narrow their thinking ability. Let's take another example, but it's a fact, the universe is profound. Noone doesn't even know how big the universe is? Where this ends, when it will end, and since when it's started? There are millions of billions of unanswered questions. And I know they will remain unanswered for extra billion years. It doesn't matter how far humans technology strides. However, we can't skip learning. Because if we stop learning, I don't see any purpose in being alive as a human. We should learn as far as we can discover and possible. 100 years ago who would think someone can produce sound and visuals by catching electromagnetic waves from the air? If someone talked about this idea 100 years ago, he would have considered as stupid. But now, everyone has intelligent smartphones on their hands. Now scientists are proposing theories like quantum teleportation, in which, literally anything including 'human' can transfer from one place to another in just a second. It sounds crazy today, right? But in the next 100 years, it could become real.

Where Does Intelligence Begin?

Humans are proud of a lot of things, from particle accelerators to poetry to Pokemon. All of them were made possible because of something humans value extremely highly:  Intelligence. We think of intelligence as a trait like height or strength,  but when we try to define it, things get fuzzy. In a nutshell, intelligence is a mechanism to solve problems.  Especially the problem of staying alive, which involves finding food and shelter,  fighting sexual competitors, or fleeing from predators.  Intelligence is not a single thing;  it includes the ability to gather knowledge, to learn, be creative, form strategies, or engage in critical thinking.  It manifests itself in a huge variety of behaviors.  From hardwired or instinct-like reactions to different degrees of learning to some sort of awareness.  But not all scientists agree where it begins or what even should count as intelligence.  To make this even more complicated,  intelligence...

Random is not actually indeterministic, its hard to calculate.

Homeopathic remedy  also called astragalus, you take it for  viral infections but you could  substitute that for anything you might  take for diabetes or insomnia or indeed  it could be a healing crystal or  anything that represents an alternative  therapy of your choice, but you might  have a viral infection you might take  astragalus you might then feel better  and decide therefore it must be an  effective cure. The point is it works for  you what more proof could you need the  trouble is that when these things are  tested properly over thousands of people  they are shown to really have no effect  whatsoever. The trap that people fall  into is to think all the evidence I need  is what I know in my head and I feel in  my heart and what I just know to be true  but that doesn't really evidence for it being  true that's just a statement about  how much you believe it and also how...

Existence Game

Context: A few months ago, in a function, renowned personality "Elon Musk" said: our existence could be a projection from a super-computer. He said: it is possible to simulate the whole earth from a future computer and everything we have seen, is just a piece of code. Like we have seen, a few decades ago, games used to be just a simple triangle with a dot bouncing ball. But now, it is already indistinguishable from the reality; I'm quoting again, it happened only in 4 decades. As compared to the current rate, even in the worst-case scenario, if we presume the rate of advancement in the technology is 1% per year; by the next 100 years, it would be impossible to differentiate the reality and computer simulation. Furthermore, he said, it is definitely possible because it not necessarily required to render the whole earth at the same time; only the required frame would have been processing and the rest is behind the reality. The wall behind you is not necessarily to be render...
