The limitation of bourgeois science is that most of its inherent energy must be used to maintain the capitalist system and prevent any developments in understanding that would “question” the efficiency of efficacy of this system. This means that bourgeois science is exclusionary and elitist and exists only to support the capitalists in the exploitation of the masses (arms production is a major component of this oppression). Bourgeois Universities are persecuted by the State if they permit any progressive advancement that draws doubt down upon the capitalist system. Part of this process is the permanent exclusion of the lumpen proletariat from the process and mechanism of science. In the 1920s, a Soviet scientist speculated that “life” chemically formed on Earth due to millions of years of very bad and violent weather conditions (atoms form elements and then molecules, etc – forming the physical “stuff” of existence – a process which must logically lead to “life”) – this theoretical position was practically proven by US scientists in 1959. This effectively (scientifically) proved that the “stuff” of life (and by inference life itself) is not a divine-construct that suddenly appears in a pristine state – initiated by the will of a divine entity. The Human-mind must be externally and internally “freed” so that its full creative capacity can be realised. Not every thought is progressive – but thinking must be encouraged to set this sieving process in motion.
Pursuing “peace” is the only option the Socialist countries possess – as they do not want to walk into the trap of creating a world-war they cannot win – and which will only benefit the US. The material conditions are not yet right for a military defeat to be inflicted on the US. Indeed, keeping the Socialist countries weak whilst continuously building its own arsenal is precisely what the capitalists must do. The bourgeoise must ruthlessly exploit the purest of materialist science to manufacture its war technology – whilst simultaneously propagating religious (and woolly) thinking within the masses to prevent a rebellion amongst its own workers (thus stopping a spontaneous outburst of homegrown Socialism). War is good for greed-based businesses – whilst Socialism is not – Socialism is only good for widespread justice, peace, security, and collective affluence.
Most of the overseas Chinese in Panama today come from Chinese workers who came to the Americas in the late Qing Dynasty. Contrary to the friendly attitude of the Panamanian government towards China today, from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China (1911), there have been many anti-China trends in the Americas, and Panama has also been involved in such turmoil. The main reason for this is that diligent and thrifty Chinese workers were more likely to accumulate wealth, and become the target of persecution – because they possessed no political status (such as citizenship). There was a time when Panama even legislated to deprive overseas Chinese of their property. In order to avoid the plundering of their hard-earned savings, Chinese workers in Panama (at that time) had to try to find women of other races to inter-marry with in order to transfer their property to their wives or children. This experience of racism has greatly changed the Chinese faces of Panama from that of their ancestors. Today, many look entirely “Panamanian” with only their surnames carrying a connection to the Chinese motherland and hometown.
A patient suffering from tetraplegia steered a smart wheelchair through the neighbourhood with only his thoughts and directed a robotic dog to fetch a food delivery. These scenes were achieved during a recent clinical trial of a brain-computer interface conducted by a team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
This shattered the conventional boundaries of rehabilitation, carrying the brain’s command from a two-dimensional cursor on a screen into full-bodied, three-dimensional interaction with the physical world.
Brain-computer interfaces are designed to create a direct communication channel between the brain and external devices. Around the world, research groups have already demonstrated the laboratory feats, including “mind typing” and robotic-arm control. The enduring challenge is to make those systems reliable enough to vanish into a patient’s daily life.
The problem with ideation and science is that the concrete nature of the external world is often ignored in the pursuit of pushing the permitted bourgeois envelope ever further toward ethereal theories that are non-threatening to the capitalist status quo – as bourgeois science can never be used to discredit capitalism in anyway. having said that, I think the distances are so vast between solar systems and different parts of the universe-multiverse – that humanity will not be able to traverse these distances in the traditional sense. A single light year still represents the distance light travels in one-year (5.88 trillion miles).
