Download or read book Consciousness written by Erwin Bratengeyer and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was created in an experimental collaboration with the artificial intelligence (AI) ChatGPT-4. All texts were written by the AI, albeit under human editorial guidance. By specially adapting ChatGPT-4 to 'Galactic Sage,' the AI was enabled to research, reference, and correctly prepare topic-specific content in German. The thematic focus was on philosophical perspectives with an open-minded approach to the phenomenon of consciousness. I hope that this human-machine experiment, expanded into a book, provides useful insights, both in terms of the AI's writing competence and, of course, in relation to the topic itself.

Download or read book Illusions of Reality written by James H. Korn and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1997-03-20 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some psychologists think it is almost always wrong to deceive research subjects, while others think the use of deception is essential if significant human problems are to receive scientific study. Illusions of Reality shows how deception is used in psychological research to create illusions of reality—situations that involve research subjects without revealing the true purpose of the experiment. The book examines the origins and development of this practice that have lead to some of the most dramatic and controversial studies in the history of psychology. Social psychology may be the only area of research where the research methods sometimes are as interesting as the results. The most impressive experiments in this field produce their impact by creating situations that lead research subjects to believe that they are taking part in something other than the true experiment, or situations where subjects are not even aware that an experiment is being conducted. These illusions of reality are created by using various forms of deception, such as providing false information to people about how they perform on tests or by using actors who play roles. The research described in Illusions of Reality includes significant and controversial experiments in the history of psychology that sometimes took on the characteristics of dramatic stage productions. The ethical issues raised by this research are discussed, and the practice of using deception in research is placed in the context of American cultural values.

Download or read book Behavioral Flaws and The Human Malfunction written by Seth Abrahms and published by LifeRich Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a journey into the mind and life of humanity. From inception, the foundations of our consciousness, thoughts, desire, and actions are explained in entirety. You will learn the reasons for the many questions you have inside. There is only one requirement, first, you must learn to see reality. Most understand true happiness is not of ourselves. We cannot give ourselves peace. We cannot even know true beauty. This comes from an "understanding" of "Life" (the life inside). We cannot declare reality and Truth. And since we did not create reality, how can we proclaim what it is, or how it functions? So also, how can we proclaim our individuality from it? Thus, the concept of "self" within mankind is an illusion. Our "self" has resulted in ego--personal thoughts, desires, and actions intended to recognize, and believed to reward, us. Experience within the "unknowing mind" is an exercise in ignorance. Humanity continues to prove this condition on a daily basis. What are ideas inside minds, if not guesses from within ignorance to describe all which exists and all which should be done inside it? This is when we began deciding for ourselves, what is good and what is bad, what is correct and what is incorrect, what something is and what it is not. Now the world has become filled with many false assumptions, and also many superficial and hedonistic practices. The concept of "self" is the cause.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real people, real transformations! "Absolutely amazing! It completely shifts your paradigm for life. One of the most wonderful things about it is that the results are immediate. My whole perception and relationship to money has undergone a major, substantial change." —Chris Attwood, writer and teacher, California "I've spent most of my life trying to figure out what's true and what's real. I have to say I now have a clear glimpse into what it really is." —Tom Hill, Colorado "Before Busting Loose from The Money Game, I was very unhappy and frustrated in my life. I was driven to find more ways to make money. I changed jobs, cities, countries, went back to school, read books. Financially, the stress was causing anxiety attacks and migraines so severe I stayed in bed. The joy I feel now is priceless. Money is there when I need it, in the amount that's needed, no matter what occurs (car repairs, unplanned trips, etc.). It's absolutely amazing!" —Suresh Thakoor, Texas "As a retired professor on a fixed and limited income, I always lived from a tight budget and felt compressed by it-especially at the end of the year. I don't use a budget anymore and have opened up new streams of income that were always closed to me in the past." —Howard Rovics, Connecticut "It opened a whole new dimension for me and shifted my perspective on life completely. I especially love how practical it is. The application is so simple, so effective . . . and fun!" —Doris Kahle, Hagen, Germany "I'd had a lot of success in the corporate arena, made a ridiculous amount of money and lost a ridiculous amount of money. But I was caught in a cycle of making it, losing it. I needed to break that cycle-for myself and my family-and this gave me the keys to do that. Busting Loose from The Money Game opened a window I had no clue even existed. This is very cutting-edge, a revolutionary approach to unwrapping yourself from limitations. If you're not satisfied with where you are financially and you're concerned about your future, get this book!" —Ben Coleman, Texas
