A positive personality defends people against fake news.

People with dark and negative personalities believe fake news more often than positive personalities. This is the thing, that psychologists found when they research what kind of personalities are the most vulnerable to fake news. Or is it that, those dark personalities just don't react to fake news? 

There is a possibility that dark personalities don't just react to lies that they see. So they don't mention if they see fake news. And the reason for that is maybe in their traumatic past. 

Maybe those dark personalities are afraid to tell if they see things like fake news. The reason for that is negative personalities afraid that if they are giving some negative feedback or simply saying that they don't believe something those people are closed away from their society. 

The thing is that many negative personalities are advancing when the person gets negative feedback. So that thing causes social apathy where the person would not ever react to lies and fake news. 

When all answers or attention that person gets is negative. That causes a situation where the person will not even want to tell about fake news or participate in discussions. The person will not even want to tell if they see lies or fake news.

So those people do not necessarily believe things that they see. They might not tell that they see lies in some text or video. Negative feedback about their attempt to get attention causes negative people don't even care to say anything if they see lies. 

The reason for that is maybe that people with dark personalities are lonely. They spend more time on the net. They have fewer discussion partners than positive people. 

And then another thing is that fake news is more often negative. So negative people are following negative news. And the reason for that is that people are searching for support for their way to see things. 

Fake news is offering lonely people the possibility to spend more time with things that are not true. But those things offer information that nobody knows first and better. 

When we think of negative personality, we must ask why people became negative. Maybe that thing explains why negative people believe lies more often than positive people. 

Or do they? Maybe the thing is that negative personalities are not saying so often if they see fake news or somebody tells lies in some discussion forum. The reason for that is that those people are afraid that they are closed away from that social network.

Why thinking hard makes people tired?

"New research shows that prolonged, intense cognitive work causes potentially toxic byproducts to build up in the part of the brain known as the prefrontal cortex". (ScitechDaily.com/Mental Fatigue Is No Illusion: Scientists Figure Out Why Thinking Hard Makes You Tired)

There is the possibility that we are tired during cognitive thinking for two reasons. The brain needs to reload its neurotransmitters. And if the temperature in the brain is rising too high. Cognitive operations turn difficult when the temperature rises. Especially when this happens inside the brain. 

The high temperature inside the brain causes the control of enzymes and other chemical processes to turn difficult. When neurons work hard their metabolism turns high level. The products of the metabolism of hard-working neurons also accumulate in the brain when a person thinks hard. 

And brain needs to decrease its temperature low enough that it can effectively continue its cognitive thinking process. So our brain requires sleep and breaks too. 

Getting tired is the mark that the brain needs a little break. And during that break called "sleep", they will decrease their temperature and reload neurotransmitters.  

Researchers found that when a person thinks the toxic byproducts are accumulating in the brain area called the "prefrontal cortex". That thing might be one of the reasons why we are getting tired while we are sleeping hard. But other things are involved in that process. When a person does cognitive work neurons in the brain are changing data. And during that process, they are using neurotransmitters. 

Whenever a chemical neurotransmitter crosses the synaptic border between neurons the enzyme destroys that neurotransmitter and frees the receptor in the neuron for the new neurotransmitter. So when a person thinks cognitively the neurotransmitters can go to a low level, and then the brains need to rest. During sleep, brains are reloading their neurotransmitters. The use of brains in cognitive actions requires energy. 

When the temperature in the brain goes up, cognitive performance goes down. High temperature makes it hard to control the neurotransmitters, proteins, and especially enzymes. When the temperature inside the brain turns too high the cognitive work turns too hard. And then brains get a signal that they must take a brake. That means brains will get a signal that they must go to sleep so that they can reload their neurotransmitters and make the temperature inside the brain get lower.

The magical crystals and the things behind that myth

https://kirjabloggaus.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Some people think that "magical crystals" allows us to see the past, and there are two or three possible things, how crystals would do that. First is the psychological way, and there the crystals suggest the person concentrate the memory, or that thing gives the person dare to tell things, what that person doesn't want to tell before that. Or concentration allows making the connections to neurons, that the images can return to the mind or knowledge. Sometimes people have thought that the electricity, what is stored in the giant crystals makes magnet fields, what would make the electric signals, what travel in the nervous system stronger, and that brings them to our concentration. But there are other theories, and one of them is connected with the symmetrical crystal balls. The tale that the "Thunder god" gave human the crystal, what allows to see the future or the past could be possible in theory.


In this case, the symmetrical crystal ball would load with the energy, what was giving by lightning. The crystal ball would put in the top of the long wooden stick, and then the priests wait that the lightning would strike to that ball. If the ball would be enough symmetrical, there could form the singularity. I don't know does the lightning got enough electric power to form the singularity. But if mankind could someday form the singularity, that could revolutionize the communication technology. Even if we would not able to see the future or past, we would have ultimate communication equipment for extreme long space trips.


Then the system needs resonance to take the same amplitude with some other singularity or small size black hole in the different time. In some silly thoughts, the high prize of some musical instruments like Stradivarius-violin causes because they were used in that purpose. But this is only the silly theory, what bases the idea, that nobody pays for nothing.  For that thing is possible to use some musical instrument. But when we are thinking about the shape of the singularity the crystal would deny that the black hole could suck the material, but if the ball would take to sunlight, that would allow keeping the singularity stable, because the sun is feeding the black hole.


The problem with nano-size black holes is that they are vanishing because they cannot get enough energy for keeping them stable without energy pumping. There are suspected that the NIF (National Ignition Facility) would be used by this kind of tests. And the electromagnetic radiation, what would make the singularity possible can also be made by lasers or electron accelerators. And NIF has the ability to give full symmetrical electromagnetic shock for the crystals, what is made the fully perfect ball that allows forming a black hole, what would not crash the structure of the ball.

How to make own words more influential?

https://avoimenkoodinmaailma.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

All of us want to be heard in the meetings and conferences, but how we can make our words influential? How to be sure, that other people would listen to those words, and they would support our opinions? If we are younger employees, we might have difficulties with that problem. How to make elder workers listen to our words? The most effective way to make power to our words is claimed, that the idea comes from the customers or some other actor.


That would give a picture or thought, that the idea is coming from somebody else. In this case, we must remember, that the persons, who we want to influent, might check that thing. They might ask, have somebody really said that thing, and that would be little embarrassing if that customer etc. will not remember that thing. Another way to make an influence is to claim, that some great scientist has said the things, what we are bringing in the discussion.


This is the way, what some persons are using in university. They would copy the ideas of great scientists and then put source under their texts. This shows that those persons can read the ideas, what somebody have brought in the own discussions maybe a hundred years ago.  When we are meeting that kind of person, they might be really vexatious. They always start their speech with the words "the great scientist said once", and this makes those persons look like a little bit silly because we all can lend that book from the library, and see those pearls of wisdom from there.


In this case, we have a problem. We should say something, what those persons, who have written everything about those things cannot find in books. We must bring something new to that table. And that is really difficult. The most difficult thing in the world is to show something really new, what comes from our own brains. Also, people should have to make listen to those ideas and the comments should take very seriously. When we are at meetings, we should put our mobile telephones away, and listen to the things, what other people say.


And in those meetings, we should be active, and write the ideas or some other interesting things on paper. And after the meeting, we can write those texts with the text editor. This shows that the person is active, and interesting about the things, what are under the handling. And in the meetings, we should follow, what other people say, but everybody is sometimes "sleeping", and when the boss asks something, is two ways to act.


Other is to say something, and hope that the answer would be even near the thing, what question handles. Or the other way is to say, "sorry, but can you repeat your question". Think about which one is better? And the third is to say, "I have nothing to say". But in this case, we should be careful, because if those words are involved in the thing, what we should do, there would be very embarrassing situations. So the best way is to confess, that we are not perfect, and ask, what the boss said. This would spend time and money.

The philosophical thoughts about manipulation

https://gamesandtehories.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

This evening is a wonderful time for thinking about the reality, and the reality's influence on our lives. The life is the very strange thing and we are all victims of some kind of things, what we are calling the manipulation. Every person in the world have faced manipulation in some place, and we would not even notice some of those traps until it's too late. In the working life, the manipulation is actually more common than we even can think. And the best examples of those things are the working offers, where is mentioned, that the person must speak five or six languages and be a civil engineer. Of course, that kind things cause interesting thoughts in the person's head and the skills what the job offer consists are very unusual, and the reason for those needs is that they would make easy to deny the applicant in the interview.


People have to need to please the persons who interview the job applicants in the working life, and when they are mention, that they are looking for "good guys", they are making job seeker feel, that if they don't like this person, that job applicant is not "good guy". The need to please makes the job applicant try very hard to give the good image for those electors. But there is one thing, what goes wrong.


The persons, who make the election for jobs are also given the image of their jobs and interests, and if they seem boring, the job applicant sees that the selection has been done. The term "good guy" is meant for making the person shame if the company would show the door after the test period. And this makes think, that maybe they would tell that the person, who closes the door final time, have been the person, who failed in the process.


But was this person only the rented worker, whose application was about two weeks, and then the job ended for natural reasons. In some cases, the companies keep two lines of workers. Another is working with temporary contracts, and others have steady contracts. The temporaries would ever get the steady contracts, because there is something, what companies don't want them to know. And the thing might be, that temporaries have been introduced as the persons, who have been kicked off. This would be guaranteed, that the steadies are good guys, or they can be kicked off. And when they see, that somebody would walk out from the company, that would give good motivation for others. That would make the steadies feel, that they are the best in business.


 After that, the chosen one will get the information, that there were thousands of job applications for that place and position. The purpose of that thing is to scare this person, that if the jobs are not done, would that mean that the next applicant would take this position. So the message is "try hard, and if you fail, you are out". This is one of the best ways to make sure, that the applicant is a good and handsome guy, who gives everything for the firm.

When somebody would violate or hurt other persons, we must ask who taught that is the right way to act?

Kimmo Huosionmaa

We always see the essays and other stories about social relationships and how to act without hurting somebody. Media is full of stories how to say "I'm sorry", and how to act in situations, that somebody feels have been hurt, and also there are stories, that somebody didn't understand how sad some work fellow is? When we are thinking about the situation, that somebody has lost the member of the family, and some person in the working place would not even notice that thing, we must ask one question: "how this ice-cold person has been treated in the working life"?


Did somebody leave that person without support in the situation, that the person needed somebody, who would listen to the problems? When we see the person, who is like ice, and doesn't even notice, that somebody is crying, we must look in the mirror in that kind of cases. We might ask one thing "how this person dares to talk about dishes or account numbers when somebody has lost the child or spouse"? Then we can visit the library and take some book of psychology from the rack, and notice that there is the very interesting story about model learning. That is sometimes called as the "Lucifer effect".The worst example of this effect is the situation, that person who has been violated at home, would start to violate the own children.


Or sometimes ex-concentration camp prisoner would become the prison guard, and then start to act like some guards were acted in Auschwitz. The reason for that is, that the person would learn that prison guards can act that way. And it is learned this person by hitting with batons and extort that victim in many ways.  This means that if we see that somebody else does something to us, and nobody thinks that is wrong, that way to treat other persons would transmit straight to us. And in that kind of cases, where somebody doesn't even care about other person sadness, we must ask was this person always alone in the workplace?


The model learning gives us answer, that in some other workplaces this particular person had got bosses, who didn't care about this kind of situations, and maybe this work mate  had similar situation in the life, that the member of own family or some very close friend of that person had died, and the boss just didn't care about this situation. Or maybe this heartless workmate has been some kind of temporary worker, who was not even noticed in the workplace. Why should that person care about the workmates, who meant nothing to other workmates?


If other workers ever speak to that person, why should this temporary worker ever care about the loss of somebody else? In this case, I must say something, what you, my dear readers ever don't want to know. Thar worker might hurt somebody on purpose. If another person would just yell to henchman or temporary worker,  this victim might want to hurt other persons on purpose, because this  person was first the victim. And that would cause the spiral of revenge, what would cause that all works in the workplace have not been done. Social relationships are very important thing, but in workplace work comes first

About the secrecy and security in the Internet

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The collecting information of users of social media is not new in the world. This thing has been the problem all the time, and now it has been coming to publicity. When somebody doesn’t give information to the social media, would that be also information, what profilers use, then they make psychological profiles about targeted persons. If somebody doesn’t use social media, there is no question, does this person want to use social media. It is the question, that the profiler sees, that the person hides something.


Social media is so common thing, that if somebody wants to be outside those services, must this person have the good reason for that. And when we are talking about profiles, the needed information can be collected from somewhere else than Facebook or Twitter. Profiling the people is not the new thing in police or military intelligence. The use of telephone, and the things, what person buys and what kind of hobbies person has gives also information, what profiler use.


The phone calls to sex phones would tell very much about person’s sexual behavior, and collecting that kind of information is denied by law. But the problem is that those so-called “phone boxes” is a telephone number and if somebody got the list of phone calls, and the length of those phones, can this sneaker get information, what would cause damage for other person’s reputation.


People would give information about themselves in many ways. One is to take pictures from own apartment, and sometimes there are the things, what doesn’t look very good. Or if some lonely man would buy women underwear simultaneous, that would make the increasing of interest of profiler. The profiles of YouTube usages would give the information, what attracts us, and what is disgusting for us.


The use this information in PSYOPS and INFO-OPS is the very attractive thing. That information is important when the right persons would be tempted to look music videos, where has been used subliminal messages like flash pictures and infrasound messages. But if the person doesn’t use social media, would that cause the situation, where this person would be started to followed more intensive methods that social media.

The reason for intensive surveillance would be, that the person is hiding something. And that would cause the interest of eavesdrop that person. When the people are profiled, the filtering of information is easy, and the profile would help to find the persons who have something to hide.
