Humans are proud of a lot of things, from particle accelerators, to poetry to pokemon. All of them made possible because of something humans value extremely highly: intelligence.

IF (2020) DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE END OF THE WORLD TO YOU, THEN YOU MUST BE DREAMING OR SLEEPING. IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP, PEOPLE, THIS IS THE TIME TO CHOOSE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL, BECAUSE ARMAGEDDON IS COMING...! CHOOSE JESUS CHRIST (SON OF GOD, SON OF MAN, KING OF KINGS, LORD OF LORDS, THE LIGHT, THE TRUTH, AND THE ETERNAL LIFE). DO NOT CHOOSE SATAN (SON OF LAWLESSNESS, THE DEVIL, THE DRAGON, THE SERPENT, THE DECEIVER AND DEATH). CHOOSE CAREFULLY.....!!! CHOOSE WISELY.....!!! CHOOSE NOW.....!!!

@Hello Human In the book of Matthew (BIBLE) Chapter 24, it is said that the generation of the fig tree (Israel) will CERTAINLY not pass away before the second coming of Jesus Christ. Israel became a nation in 1948, a generation in the Bible is 70-80 years, so if you add 80 years to 1948 that bring us to 2028. But 2028 is the second coming of Jesus Christ, the final return of Jesus Christ, the millennial REIGN. The Rapture of the Church (Jesus Christ will appear in the sky and take away the righteous Christians with HIM before the 7 years Tribulation), this event must ABSOLUTELY happen 7 years before 2028 (WHO IS THE FINAL RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST) that bring us to 2021 which will probably start the 7 years Tribulation, a period ruled by the Right Hand of Satan (THE ANTICHRIST) He will have the Whole World into the palm of his hands, He will be allowed to torture and kill everyone that He want to kill during the 7 years Tribulation. After the 7 years Tribulation Jesus Christ will return with all the angels of HEAVEN and the people who got saved in the Rapture of the Church (which will happen before the 7 years Tribulation) So....(2021-2027) is going to probably be the 7 years Tribulation, but the Rapture of the Church MUST happen before the 7 years Tribulation, that put the Rapture Of the Church into 2020....!!!!!!!!! During the past six weeks, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself appeared to me in more than 4 VISIONS, He is coming, He is coming so so so soon, and a lot of people are not ready, a lot of people are going to be LEFT BEHIND, that is why I beg you get on board before it is too late....!!! All you have to do is to simply Believe, Believe and Believe in your heart in JESUS CHRIST, ACCEPT HIM AS YOUR LORD & SAVIOR and you will be SAVED...!!! I mean, just look at how horrible 2020 is...! it has been complete Darkness so far, that is exactly why Jesus Christ is coming now to deliver us from what is coming next... The Great Tribulation....! So...2020 is at the same time the END of the world as we know it and also the Doorway to the BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON which will end the 7 years Tribulation. As you can see we have only few months left...!!!!!!!!! If JESUS CHRIST showed up tomorrow or next week or next month, where would you be ??? Would you make it to Heaven ??? "No man know the day or the hour" but we KNOW the SEASON and we are in the SEASON...!!!! I have warn you ahead....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Repent Now, for the Kingdom of God is at Hand...!!!!! STOP living in the flesh, stop wasting your time behind the little things and the little idols of this world...!!! Wake up now....! Be prepared for the glorious appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but the book "On Intelligence" by Jeff Hawkins (founder of Palm Computing and Handspring) contains the most all encompassing theoretical framework for understanding intelligence I have ever encountered. The most important thing he does in the book/hypothesis is first refining/redefining the definition of intelligence down to (and I am grossly simplifying here) 'the ability to make predictions based on memories'. In this book (which I have re-read over 6 times) he proposes a truly falsifiable hypothesis that proposes a explanatory and predictive framework that explains all of the different phenomena we attribute to intelligence, consciousness, complex behaviors, creativity etc. In my opinion, no other hypothesis/theory of the brain explains more about how we think, perceive, create and navigate in the world than his memory/prediction framework does. Is anyone else familiar with this book and/or his research including the lab at UC Berkeley he started and the new-ish company he founded called "Numenta"?

Ignorance and dumbness will always exist even when we’re an interplanetary civilization. What type of people do you think create the computer, internet l, smartphones? The intelligent people. Not the dumb ones. The way you wrote the comment, it seems like you’re the ignorant one where since you don’t seem grateful of the technological advancements we’ve achieved so far. You’re really being impatient. We’ll become an interplanetary sooner or later. Politics, religion, and other things are slowing it down which is inevitable since humans are just animals at the end.

Use this video to improve your intelligence: - improve vision = measure, listen better, watch better, get better equipment - improve memory = document, record & repeat it - improve behavior = implement, reinforce and understand it - knowledge = read more books, learn how to improve these strategies here - creativity = try out ideas, explore other worlds, imitate and improve others - planning = time management, study, think ahead, set goals - culture = understand, analyse & see what needs to change Please add any ideas!
