Ethics Morality Our global society has worked hard towards eradicating tyranny, Communism, Fascism, Dictatorship, and many other autocrats from the world. We have earned our freedom through the sweat, tears and the lives of many civilians and military personnel. God Rest their Soul. They fought and died so that we can be valued. Introduction Is your life worth more than $200,725.00 dollars in 1971 or $1,430,884.72 in today's money? In 1970, Ford Motors was pressured to produce motor cars that were cheaper and safer than the Japanese and Germans. The Japanese vehicles at the time were lead by Honda, Toyota, and Datsun. And there was a rush for the US to get a car on the market to compete. The engineers worked hard and came up with the Pinto. There was only one problem. They failed to perform all of the safety checks for the vehicle! The President of Ford Motors was presented with the huge ethical problem of either redesigning the vehicle at a cost of mullions of dollars, or sending the car to the assembly line and selling the car as is and, with the understanding that they would pay through insurance claims for any and all accidental damage to individuals who had died, at a value of $200,725.00 per person. Their statistics suggested they would have approximately 180 deaths per year. This would mean that the total cost for the error would be 180 in deaths = $36,130,500 per year while they would potentially sell hundreds of thousands of vehicles. They actually sold 328,275 vehicles. And that year they had less than 30 accidents, no deaths, but a few other injuries that the car company quickly compensated. Their gain was 682,155,450 vehicles and merely thousands of dollars in compensation. They quickly made modifications to the vehicle so that subsequent years they were much safer. So this experience begs the question “Can a dollars-and-cents figure be assigned to a Man or Woman's life”? What do you think?

Psychology What is the magic of consciousness; of memory, of coding and recoding, to make the data within personal, relevant, and useful? A goal of life is survival and the more useful the data is to the consciousness the better the entity is able to survive and then thrive. Limits on Our Capacity for Processing Information ~ Read this but do not fear it. ~ According to the Channel Capacity equation, C = B log(1 + S/N), C-capacity, B-bandwidth of channel, S-signal power, N-noise power; When B the bandwidth moves towards infinity, capacity saturates to 1.44S/N. When there is more noise power the capacity for acquiring storing coding and encoding information diminishes. The system is unable to function effectively. Linguistic Meaning: I hear some things, I can't remember and I can not use to make my life better. We will come back to this formula in the conclusion. The Introduction The span of absolute judgment and the span of immediate memory impose severe limitations on the amount of information that we are able to receive, process, and remember. By organizing the stimulus input simultaneously into several dimensions and successively into a sequence or chunks, we manage to break (or at least stretch) this informational bottleneck. In addition, the process of coding and then recoding into language system that then can be quickly assessed and then used is a very important one in human psychology and deserves much more explicit attention than it has received. In particular, the kind of linguistic recoding that people do seems to me to be the very lifeblood of the thought processes. The coding has been of most importance to a variety of scientist because it is the shared experience that is viewed. In university studies, the information that will give the student the desired grade, in sports the events that lead up to the scoring of the points, in politics the demagogue who shares his propaganda with the his supporters. The message (coding) is the same and yet when it is processed by the mind it is recoded into information that is personal,…Psionics | The Magic of Consciousness
