The Art of Resurrecting the Mind ( and the Body)

Now that they have begun mapping the human connectome with the advent of the Human Connectome Project, would we able to resurrect the dead?

The human genome, comprising of all the genetic information in the human can already be mapped with the human genome sequencing technique. The connectome, which is a complete map of all the neural network in the brain, may take some time. This is a tough task because it needs to untangle quite a mess of wiring of neural pathways in the human brain. The brain contains about 100 billion neurons and 150 trillion synapses, which are the connections between the neurons.

These neural wiring's, the pathways of all neural activity. are what contain the memories, feeling and perceptions in the brain: all the information that makes up the human personality, or the equivalent of a human 'self'. 

{ I should point out here that while the self by itself is an illusion, something which is not what is seems, but very much there, the consciousness or the stream of neural activity that seems to be permeate this illusory self is a delusion which is something that does not exit. Remember: there is no such thing as a mind.}

Once the complete connectome is mapped and all that information can be recovered from a brain, it should be easy enough to install this information to a clone prepared from the genome of the person you want to resurrect.

It is like 'booting' up a computer with software.
But once accomplished, it is also like having a backup for your connectome and booting up a healthy clone of yourself , by installing your 'software-connectome' into new 'hardware-clone' with a fresh brain and body.

If you haven't had your complete genome sequenced, it's time you did. And once mapping the connectome is as cheap and as easy as mapping the genome, you would have the prospect of living forever.

So, keep your brain healthy for a couple of decades, or until the time that they can recover your connectome from a dead brain.

You could live for as long as you want to.

The Mathematics of Speculative Trading

Heikin Ashi Charting and Fibonacci Ratio: Win and Lose

Software for technical analysis for trading ? just plain and simple confusion.

(but you can make your own worksheet for your very own charts with your own entry and exit points).

I talk about distractions with technical indicators, giving examples of my own when I lost money because of their confusing signals. Most certainly, no tips or recommending stocks, in fact, trade very few, preferably, only the index, not even stocks. The less, the better.

And absolutely, no competing with the "expert's" views. ( if the tips worked, why are they telling us?, Why do they want our fees. If they had a secret formula for making huge sums of money, why would they give it away for your meager amount?) Makes no sense.

But you can have your own triggers and stop-loss in from a very simple worksheet, which you can make yourself, No software, just your one page worksheet.

There are NO huge profits in speculation. All you can have is average profits.

You can empirically see with the most popular charts like the Heikin Ashi, and with Fibonacci retracements, that, you can and will continue to LOSE half the time, but also WIN half the other time. Just like flipping a coin!

(But you may also see that your winning trades will make twice the money that your losing trades will lose. So, overall, you will still make money over a length of time, if you take all the trades that your charts show you).

You may check this out with the Dow Jones, step-by-step, plus the FTSE 100 and the NIFTY 50. As for me, In Nifty, out of 41 trades in the past nine months, I lost money in 25, and made money in only 16, but overall the net gain was 475 points per Nifty. That is an average, not huge money. But I am not ashamed of the losing trades. I know perfectly well I am going to lose half the time, ( in this case, more than half the time), and still make some money if I keep at it, and don't give up.

I agree with Kaushik Basu, the Chief Economist at World Bank, when he says that the so-called experts have a best kept secret, which is that they do not themselves know why the stock market moves the way it does.

Trading maybe a waste of time ( most activities are ! ) but not of money though, if you have a good trading plan.
