Hypocrite
Its been a while...almost a month..a lot of things have happened lately...some good, some intense and some bad. Let's not get to the bad ones - there is no point. Bad things - drop them. Good things - cherish them. Intense things - you cant get rid of them even if you wanted to. So yeah, like I said its been a while. Biggest news till now....I am the Social Chair of the Muslim Students Association. Yes, you heard me right. The MUSLIM STUDENTS ASSOCIATION. Wait, didnt I declare myself an atheist a couple of days back?...Hmm....makes me think too!!! Why did I do it? Probably because I am a hypocrite. I guess I am just craving for attention. Or I just probably wanted to put something on my resume. But the thing is, will I be at peace with myself after attaining this position in a religious organization?....dunno yet!.....
Anyways, apart from that - I just realised from reading all my posts that I am really confused and have a huge guilty conscience!!! Oh wow!!!
Oh well, cant do much about it! So yeah, life is going on. Totally neutral and bland. Except for random thoughts that just cross my mind. The title of this post has only got to do with the first paragraph of the post. Thats it! Alright, here is the thing - in my college writing class, we have been talking a lot about automation and the replacement of humans by machines. Yeah I know its a pretty well-discussed topic, but hey man, you havent heard my thoughts about it! So, tighten the seat belt....cause the thought-rocket is about to take off.
So yeah like I was saying, I believe that the mechanization of jobs is inevitable to the extent where human characteristics are involved. Jobs that do not require variation, choices made by people or even workers' opinions can be easily automated. As for example, the assembly line - there is no need for workers to opine about their jobs on the line. They dont need variation. The designer needs variation, not the line workers. The decision makers need variation, not the line workers. The executives need to make choices, not the line workers. Hence, it can be easily said that these workers are to be replaced by machines. But can you replace the hairstylist with a machine?....No you cant...even if they showed it in the Jetsons. You simply cant. Because a machine acts on the very basic idea of receiving input and providing output. But when it is required to think, it cant because it cannot generate its own input. Hence, when a client would ask for advice from the mechanical hairstylist, then it would not be able to answer whereas a human hairstylist would obviously answer pronto!
This brings us to the concept of a hybrid - an android. A combination of the human brain and a robot central processing unit. Well not that far, but as you can obviously see, humans have been made more efficient in their jobs by the invention of modern machines. Jobs that cant be replaced entirely are still held by humans but have been made more and more efficient with advances in modern technology. The invention of the computer, the super computer and microchips, nanotechnology - everything is making things much mroe efficient than before. This brings us to the question...where does AI (Artificial Intelligence) come into play?
A very gray area....with a very dark future. This AI thing is very complicated I have to admit. It involves a definition of "thinking". What is "thinking"? Is this simply a process concerning data compiled over a particular amount of time? Or is there something else? Is there a supernatural element involved in thinking? I mean the system of logic has been unlocked to a great extent...but is logic the main element of thinking? Are all thoughts rational? If AI can be developed into a fully functional thinking system...will the human brain become obsolete? Or how is it going to think?.....
I know thats a lot of questions to answer at the moment...and I dont even have all the answers to them....but one thing I am sure of...when it comes down to primal needs, no robot can replace a human...hell who would fuck a mechanical hooker?????

Liberation of Thoughts : Freewriting
Let me finish my RA application first and then I will definitely come back to this topic. A very intriguing topic - I must say. I was introduced to this topic just yesterday and I am already feeling soo excited about this..but, my application first!
So yea...done with my RA applications. Back to freewriting - freewriting promotes the concept that people should write non-stop and put down any thought that comes to their heads and write without any constraints. No need for rewriting, no heed to grammar, no respect for structure and what not! so yea lets try it people! this is just so cool....as one of my friends put it...its so "khool!" or rather its soo "khikass"....
Yea so, about freewriting - i am going to try freewriting about freewriting. Lets start - 1, 2, 3. So yea freewriting, see this freewriting thing is just simply complicated - another term coined by one of my friends - so simply complicated. This is just so easy to do I dont know why people find it so difficult to write...writing should be mellifluous -a SAT word....one of my cousins said that I use too much SAT vocabulary - but I dont think so...I think I just use a couple of them over and over again because I cannot remember anymore....and I also use hyphens and periods a lot! I dont know why and also a lot of exclamation marks...yea so freewriting should flow freely...words are the best assets in this business! Freewriting is I believe an amazing exercise...it opens up the mind...pushes your thoughts to the limit till you cannot find anything to think about on a certain topic...then is the time you open your mind gates and delve into the deepest and darkest corners of your mind like a miner...with the lights on the helmets...going through the unexplored territory just like a blind person....absence of sight even in presence of light...what an experience it should be...just like the sinuous intestines of a monster...a fossil one for that matter...walking like a blind person...just groping the walls in the dark...the heightened feeling of the six senses...should be an amazing high!
talking about high, I was just talking with a friend about horror movies...people seem to do anything to get high....any type of high... a high is just an intense stimulation in the brain...like monster drinks with overdose of caffeine....which is totally legit and is bullshit....anywys...yea...i went to nyc and saw all the people just trying to get on high anything they can get their hands on...high on drugs and alcohol...high on sugar...high on caffeine...high on work..high on relationships...jst trying so hard to get high on life....how pathetic! they dont realize that getting high on life is not that easy...you have to appreciate your own life to be high on it.....
I dont know whether this is actually freewriting or not...weird isnt it?..I feel the lack of structure in this essay...but there is still progression....progression just like the chords of a guitar in a Dream theater song...they r just soo good....Dream Theater - what a perfect name for a band like that....such music is rear now....experimenting with different patterns and progressions...so disorderly disciplined....entropy in a systematic way...just like the universe where everything is in a systematic chaos....discipline in chaos...why does there always have to be an order underlying all the superficial chaos and entropy?...Human mind is almost the similar...a string of thoughts...each thought following all the other....each thought making a progression...but why cant we get out of the system?...why does everything have to be in a system?...I would love to see total chaos...just pure chaos...pure aggression...mindless...totally mindless...unplanned...impulsive..spontaneous actions of people...no planning or anything...not even thinking about...how about a murder?...but then again....is it so easy to take a life?...It would be really tough for me to take life....I once knew this murderer once...I wont call him a murderer....he did what he wanted to do.....this strictly confidential though....I dont even know whether I should put this down in this blog post...anywys....yea...he told me about his experience...his high when he pulled the trigger...He told me he felt like GOD! but is that even possible?..so many possibilities...so many experiences to gather....so much to do in life...is one lifetime good enough for this?....I sometimes think that I have parallel lives....its every choice I make that I pass through these parallel lives...just like a probability equation....if I choose to do this then I would take a different direction...if I dont then my life would take another course...who knows...are these lives simultaneous? I dont even know....Its all about the unknown.......I think thats enough freewriting for one post.....more coming up soon....stay tuned!
