If you think I live in the twilight zone your right.


As a computational functionalist, I think the mind is a system that exists in this universe and operates according to the laws of physics. Which means that, in principle, there shouldn’t be any reason why the information and dispositions that make up a mind can’t be recorded and copied into another substrate someday, such as a digital environment.

To be clear, I think this is unlikely to happen anytime soon. I’m not in the technological singularity camp that sees us all getting uploaded into the cloud in a decade or two, the infamous “rapture of the nerds”. We need to understand the brain far better than we currently do, and that seems several decades to centuries away. Of course, if it is possible to do it anytime soon, it won’t be accomplished by anyone who’s already decided it’s impossible, so I enthusiastically cheer efforts in this area, as long as it’s real science.

This second of three videos describes what helps make the Assured Science System limitless, free-ranging, and self-sustaining while also producing the most robust data from every project of every researcher. It is our novel and powerful electronic infrastructure, The Universe of Research Niches (TURN) that is constructed by extracting the Cause & Effect relationships among all technical terms in the universe of existing primary research data. The capacity of TURN to serve as the common resourceful utility for everybody enables us to transform scientific research into a potent revenue-generating system.

For example, Real Entrepreneur Women, a career coaching service, has developed an AI coach called Skye. “Skye is designed to help female coaches cut through overwhelm by providing actionable strategies and personalized support to grow their businesses,” said founder Sophie Musumeci. “She’s like having a dedicated business strategist in your pocket – streamlining decision-making, creating tailored content, and helping clients stay consistent. It’s AI with heart, designed to scale human connection in industries where trust and relationships are everything.”

In the next few years, Musumeci predicted, “I see democratized AI creating new business models where the gap between big and small players closes entirely, giving more entrepreneurs the confidence and capability to thrive.”

Education is another area ripe for AI disruption, and it’s possibilities for hyper-personalization in learning. “The current education system in USA is designed to educate the masses,” said Andy Thurai, principle analyst with Constellation Research. “It assumes everyone is at the same skill level and same interest in areas of topic and same expertise. It tries to push the information down our throats, and forces us to learn in a certain way.”

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered new details about how the human genome produces instructions for creating proteins and cells, the building blocks of life, according to a pioneering new study published in Science Advances.

While it’s understood that genes function as a set of instructions for creating RNA, and thus proteins and cells, the fundamental process by which this occurs has not been well-studied due to technological limitations, said Vadim Backman, Ph.D., the Sachs Family Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Medicine, who was senior author of the study.

“It is still not fully understood how, despite having the same set of genes, cells turn into neurons, bones, skin, heart, or roughly 200 other kinds of cells, and then exhibit stable cellular behavior over a human lifespan which can last for more than a century—or why aging degrades this process,” said Backman, who directs the Center for Physical Genomics and Engineering at Northwestern. “This has been a long-standing open question in biology.”
