The Spinning Brain

Intuition is a phenomenon of the biological brain that doesn't have any physical explanation. Many people experience intuition with varying degrees of success. There are a variety of theories regarding intuition [1] and some people regard intuition with much caution [2].

Yet, I am happily in the camp that has learned to respect my intuition as it has proven time and time again to be correct. Recently, though, I'd been thinking about intuition and soothsaying. There are many cases of people who claim to see the future, whatever that might be. Maybe there is something to be said about this mystical phenomenon. Maybe there is a real physical process at work that we just haven't thought of yet.

To this end, I am proposing a theory about human intuition. This theory, though requires some background in quantum mechanics. Specifically, quantum entanglement.

I'm not the only person who has theorized about quantum entanglement and its role in biological congnition and the conscious mind [3]. In fact, there is an entire school of thought called Quantum Consciousness [4] that discusses the very idea of quantum computing in the brain.

Let's just say these quantum consciousness theories are correct, and the human brain is a quantum computer that stores information in the form of spin states. We can do this in the laboratory today with some experimental hardware that is just beginning to evolve out of the laboratory. It's not a big leap, now, to consider this as the functional work of the human brain (or any biological brain for that matter).

Back to intuition, though, as that is the topic of this article. Intuition is the feeling that something is going to happen, or a feeling that one choice is better than another. How is this possible? If the brain is a quantum computer and it stores information based on spin states, then it is possible that the brain is producing entangled pairs.

Crazy as it may sound, those entangled pairs of particles can also be used by the brain during memory encoding via spin encoding. Entanglement is important to intuition because entangled pairs affect eachother across space and time. In the world of quantum mechanics, though, space and time are one of the same. Therefore, the entangled pair of particles produced in the brain can affect eachother across time. More importantly, this means that your brain can encode a memory in the future that can be experienced in the past. With entanglement, if one particle is given spin S, then its entangled pair is also given that same spin, instantaneously.

It's my theory, with really no experimental evidence, that the human brain does produce entangled pairs of particles. Also, these particles play intrumental roles in encoding memory into the human brain. Furthermore, it's the existence of the entangled pairs that gives humans the sense of intuition and even the possibility of precognition by virtue of spin changes propagating through space-time.

If quantum consciousness is the evolution of consciousness, then it serves to theorize that the next evolution of consciousness will be in precognition. Eventually more humans will become sensitive to the entangled pairs being produced in their brains. For some already the sensitivity is there, yet for others not. It could be that the smartest of people really are just the most precognitive of their own thoughts, being able to regurgitate the correct answer quickly solely because they were given the answer in the future.

This is alot of speculation, yet quantum computing is real and demonstrated. Quantum entanglement is also real and has been demonstrated, and is the basis for secure quantum communication. The parts left to demonstrate is that the human brain uses spin to encode memories, and that the brain produces entangled pairs of memory particles.

THE RISE OF FASCIST SOCIAL MEDIA

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines fascism as: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control .  The phrase "dictatorial control" is important for the case that I am going to make about fascism in social media. The word "dictatorial" means "of or relating to a dictator," and a dictator is "one ruling in an absolute and often oppressive way." In 2020, social media has seen a rise in the number of autocratic events of censorship. The two social media outlets that I am going to focus on are Facebook and Twitter.  Background Facebook is a semi-private curated blogging platform where you, the user, share information at your leisure. The public part of Facebook is in Facebook Groups. With a group, outside people who are not privy to your "Facebook Wall" will join your group and establish a communal discourse. This can be private, by invitation only, or public. The Facebook is auth-walled so that you must

DNS Custom Logs and selinux

If you google "named custom logs selinux" you will find quite a bit of chatter about setting up custom logs outside of /var/log for DNS (named). These posts are interesting, but they tend to be run on posts about learning selinux and becoming an expert on named. What you need to know? If you have setup custom logging locations in your /etc/named.conf file, such as:     channel default_file {         file "/var/log/named/default.log" versions 3 size 5m;         severity dynamic;         print-time yes;     }; Then you will likely see errors like this in /var/log/messages: Oct 26 11:41:13 namedsvr setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/named from write access on the directory /var/named/chroot/var/log/named. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 6eab4aaf-e615-4ade-9e88-4efdc789eaf2 Then you run the sealert command as suggested by the very friendly selinux audit log and you are told: #============= named_t ============== #!

Number of Primes

Anderson's Theorem (a) The number of primes in [1,n] is no more than 2+floor(n/2). The probability of n being prime when n is not prime is 1/2 - see Dasgupta,Papadimitriou,Vazirani "Algorithms" page 26. Therefore, the E(pi(n)) is n/2. (b) There does not exist another set of adjacent primes other than {1,2,3} 5: 2 + floor(5/2) = 2 + 2 = 4:=> {1,2,3,5} : 4 <= 4 7: 2 + floor(7/2) = 2 + 3 = 5 => {1,2,3,5,7} : 5 <= 5 11: 2 + floor(11/2) = 2 + 5 = 7 => {1,2,3,5,7,11} 6 <= 7 26: 2 + floor(26/2) = 15 => {1,2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23} : 10 <= 15 Lagrange's Theorem is Inaccurate Lagrange's theorem about primes states that pi(x) is the number of primes <= x. The pi(x) is approximately x/ln(x). He postulated that the lim of pi(x)/(x/lnx) as x-> infinity was 1. This is incorrect. if the number of primes is bounded by n/2 then refactoring and reducing Lagrange's Theorem results in the lim of ln(x) as x approaches infinity. This is alwa
