  Nowadays we need more than ever to master the intrinsic knowledge behind everything we do, exercising the learned capability of checking if a materialised solution is whether correct or presenting flaws that need to be addressed properly. If we remain conditioned to rely on something we’ve little or no understanding of, we would become slaves that end up imprisoned into the limitations imposed by an environment we are the ones responsible for establishing, cultivating, and feeding. Being able to keep consciousness at hand while taking advantage of what life presents either to challenge or to pose difficulties of what we need to do during our daily activities, may imply an extra card we have under our belts, which is capable of helping to increase the pace towards stepping into higher stages of our personal evolution. Let’s remember that keeping consciousness at hand is as good as gold while dealing with the impermanent nature of events happening before us, no matter the circumsta...

  Our human factor is what has driven the evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which implies that we need to enhance such a factor instead of becoming lazy with the introduction and use of AI tools. Let’s remember that AI imitates human behaviour at a fast pace, and the reason for such an increase of speed is simple. We’ve an astonishing processing power within our brain but we’re still not able to consciously use more than a fraction of that power. Thus, the imitation game performed by AI accelerates the execution of tasks just because such an imitation takes advantage of equipment that can artificially process more data and perform more tasks in a short period of time than we, human beings, can do consciously. AI isn’t a threat for highly-educated jobs, human discriminatory behaviours are. We just need to make sure we know exactly when—-and why not—-applying AI consciously and meaningfully, no matter the circumstances. It’s important that we keep learning the foundations, m...

  Establishing a clear plan into our mind—mainly regarding the issues we’ve to handle during our daily activities—is the right way to make progress with no fear of what may happen in the near future. The goals need to be settled, and after establishing such goals, we need to prepare ourselves to fulfil them. The majority of the time, if our goals are aligned with the environment conditions we’re subjected to, the whole environment will move with us, making our task easier and faster to be accomplished. Thus, we need to learn how to read the environment, taking advantage of the sequence of events we observe in the surroundings in order to make our goals more feasible and attainable. In periods where we face scenarios of huge uncertainty, knowledge acquisition is still the most trustworthy way that enables us to keep consciousness at hand while evaluating the possibilities regarding tough decisions we need to make. It’s important to get our life goals crystal clear in our mind, drawi...

  How many times do we get worried by something we’ve no control of? The answer for this question totally depends on how we approach issues popping up before us in the first place. With the wide and indiscriminate use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the need to make sure a designed solution is safe and secure to be used by customers, considering also the inability to review as fast as an AI agent can generate something we’re working on, such concern may become worse. Automatic verification and validation—from a formal, i.e., mathematical and scientific perspective—is still a research challenge, mainly regarding the mandatory requirement of enforcing a deterministic execution of AI agents of a given observed system…and I’m not talking about innovation here but something we’ve already a well-known grasp on. It’s like having a bunch of autonomous robots with embedded AI agents materialising a building on their own, with little or no supervision. Are we sure no structural miscalcu...

  Thinking outside the box also requires the ability to experience things outside the box, which implies understanding the needs and usability of something unusual for the majority of people to reason about. The majority of us just find something useful when it gets completely built and available, which implies an imposed delay in the internal thinking process we use for promoting innovation and innovative ideas. Getting out of our comfort zone, wearing the shoes of others, or just walking around and observing life from a neutral perspective may help in triggering the interest of thinking outside the box. It’s not an easy thing to do but it’s (for sure) a beneficial one. Let’s do it consciously and meaningfully, taking the most advantage of our ideas in order to help solving and dealing with any issue we’ve at hand in the present moment. During our daily activities we need to think about complementing our technical skills with additional knowledge we can use to mould how we approac...

“When we know the applied protocol, we already know what to expect and how to deal with anything before us.” — Jeferson Souza (thejefecomp). Available also in a signed pdf version:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A7aKZiNBNX-RRvVDowkpD2ysbgo_m0vh/view?usp=sharing

  In the era of huge deception fabricated by human beings through the use of high technologies based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), we need to keep consciousness at hand to reduce the possibility of being deceived by false claims or absolute truths that cannot be verified. It’s important that we carefully observe, analyse, and understand the environment we’re inserted into, learning the rules we’re subjected to, as well as our duties and rights related to both our personal and our professional lives. The more we know about a given subject we’re interested in, the easier it’s to not be deceived by anything we’ve contact with. AI is changing the way we consume information, making it easier to access both good and bad sources of content. If we get no consciousness at hand, we may start believing and being deceived by anything we’ve contact with, mainly if we disregard the presence of dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive people in the surroundings. It’s important that we cultivate a...
