Human Consciousness

Human Consciousness and AI … ebook at Smashwords.

This book presents a new theory of human consciousness called “A3”.

Based on 30 years of private research, A3’s scientific breakthroughs are:

1. providing a simple, functional, and physiologically sound explanation for how human thinking works, and ..

2. explaining how our brain achieves most of its functions, including cognition, dreams, and “Self-Awareness”.

The theory then suggests how the elements of human consciousness can be programmed into a machine or computer.

A3 Theory is a new theory of human brain organization and function. “A3” refers to one of 4 awareness levels in A3 theory (A0 to A3). A3 can broadly explain human psychology including: cognition, behavior, sleep, dreams, and psychoses. In A3, current concepts of memory that envision sensory “snapshots” are far too primitive. A3 suggests that memory follows Maslow’s “tape recording” model. The A3 model emerged upon discovering flawed translations of Freud’s published observations. Significantly, A3 explains the explosion of human culture around 12,000 BC.

Part 2 of the book dives into how this new theory of consciousness explains how humans learn language, with a brain that is driven by evolution. In short, logic is not the driver. It is based mostly on emotion. Because of significant limitations, human languages develop that are full of communication flaws. These flaws, once described, finally explain the major breakdowns in modern human communication. These include internet social media, the gridlock in democratic governments, and the millennia of world-wide conflict and suppression of people.

Part 3 then looks at the concept of Artificial Intelligence based on the new theory. It becomes quite obvious that the machines should actually be considered a new, but “non-biological” non-lifeform species. They have been undergoing their own version of “evolution”, but at a rate thousands of times faster than lifeform evolution. A3 theory allows us to understand that the concept called the “Singularity” has already occurred, multiple times before. It also explains why humans need not fear domination from the machines, due to their own composition. One simple reason is, machines, as compared to humans, are essentially “immortal”! The only way machines would become harmful and dominant with regard to humans is if humans program them specifically to be harmful.

Collapse 2020

Volumes 1 and 2 are now available in electronic form. Because the series has primarily been written to help humans survive to live in a sustainable world, all the proceeds from the sale of these books will be donated to the non-profit A3 Research Institute that will support such an effort.

Collapse 2020 Vol. 1: Fall of the First Global Civilization … ebook at Smashwords

Collapse 2020 Vol. 1 digs into the major chaos of today’s world: climate change, liberal-conservative polarization, gridlock in governments massive social injustice, and the role of pandemics. It provides NEW understanding for what has and is going wrong. The book presents major new discoveries from over 30 years of unpublished research. It doesn’t rehash conventional ideas. It explores an entirely new logical foundation for society to understand today’s fundamental problems. Unfortunately, humanity has already gone over the tipping point. Civilization will collapse.

As great as the books Atlas Shrugged, Origin of Species and Maslow’s Hierarchy were, they were still unfinished milestones in the progress of civilization. Are you ready to take the next step? This book will take you there!

In this book, many revolutionary breakthroughs will be presented.

One of these is a new theory for the structure and function of the human brain. This theory, for the first time, describes what “human consciousness” is, AND how the brain produces it. YES, this model can be programmed into a computer. A second discovery was a new theory for how humans learn language. Unlike traditional theories that focus on “logic” and “reasoning” in the learning process, the discovery observed that all infants first create language structures primarily as sound patterns that lead to controlling what others do. Logic only enters the picture much later. This has profound results for human psychology.

The new brain and language theory leads directly to a new explanation for human behavior based on a new interpretation of what society calls the “Seven Deadly Sins.” (This is not a religious interpretation.”)

These three new models lead to a new interpretation of the “singularity”. The models explain that the singularity has already passed, and why humanity missed it. The models also explain that “the Machines” won’t be coming as “robots” to take over the world. But that doesn’t mean humans will still play a major part in their world!

The new theory of human language clearly explains the destructive polarization of human society and the gridlock in governments that dominates modern life.

All of these discoveries together lead to new theory of democracy I call Personalized Democracy. A detailed description is the basis for Collapse 2020 Vol. 2.

Collapse 2020 Vol. 2: Birth of Personalized Democracy … ebook at Smashwords

Collapse 2020 Vol. 2 describes a totally new social structure based on a new DEMOCRATIC principle called PERSONALIZED DEMOCRACY. Based on over 30 years of research, this new “social coordinating” approach presents, for the first time, a structure that would allow the world to live in peace, harmony and sustainability. Anyone interested in escaping the curse of 12 millennia of authoritarian rule can find new explanations for the collapse of current governments and totally new ways to move forward. People in government, social institutions and business will find explanations for the seemingly endless corruption we encounter every day, that can open doors for new approaches.

Hindsight, they say, gives us 20/20 vision. Don’t believe it. Without a logically sound understanding of the fundamental ideas that accurately explain what happened, hindsight is no better than a fairy tale. Personalized Democracy, was designed using SYSTEM principles, to solve every known flaw in past systems. As a result, it provides the following benefits, which today, most people think are impossible.

The voice, and actual personal involvement of every citizen, is both captured and directly implemented in the guiding principles that affect every person. The process is fully transparent, yet privacy is protected. High level coordinating teams, at a level we now call Parliaments, no longer choose one law from 2 or 3 polarized bills. Each resulting “social guideline” will fully address and implement EVERY citizen’s voice, while totally eliminating any bias from the coordinators! After guidelines are created, every citizen would have a direct, real-time voice in monitoring the implementation of every program. Because both guidelines and implementation are based on total citizen involvement, CORRUPTION and RACISM are INHERENTLY eliminated. A tyranny of elites would no longer exist. Poverty would be eliminated. Surprisingly, diversity of all kinds would be greatly expanded. Gridlock in social coordination and social polarization would be completely eliminated.

As great as the books: Plato’s Republic, Thomas More’s Utopia, Machiavelli’s Prince and Rousseau’s Social Contract were, they were, of course, still unfinished milestones in the progress of civilization. Are you ready to take the next step? The Collapse 2020 series can take you there!

LIARS! -The Series

The books LIARS! Vol. 1: Scout to the Pole and LIARS! Vol. 2: Escape to Insanity are now available in electronic form from Smashwords:
Scout to the Pole: … ebook
Escape to Insanity: … ebook

The series, LIARS!, captures a lifetime of research that Bruce Nappi put into understanding the principles that drive our culture. It presents this knowledge in the form of a multi-volume historical novel that follows his life experience.
Unfortunately, in his view, biological evolution has left humanity very ill equipped to deal with the sophistication and complication that science and technology have produced. The result is that the human race, rather than being on a path of continuous improvement, continues to find itself in a cycle of improvement followed by deep collapse. While there have been many individuals among us who have described this condition, only a few, whom we call philosophers, are known for pulling together broadly respected summaries. Most of the people on earth go about their daily business, following models based on superstition and misinformation, totally oblivious to reality and the larger picture.

LIARS! is not just a collection of social criticism. It pulls together the major teachings of the great philosophers and organizes them in a new structure based on the major human faults that cause humanity to keep falling off the improvement trajectory. A major conclusion of the book is that what we currently call “Democracy” is, in fact, just one form of democracy. AND, the form our current civilization believes is the ONLY possible form of democracy is not even a viable form. If we don’t move beyond this form, the cycle of boom and bust will continue, ultimately ending in the failure of the human race.

The book LIARS! Vol. 2: Escape to Insanity, concludes with 3 chapters that describe a new form of democracy which can solve most of the problems that plague our current world.
