Gift of the luck is not always same for the group



Barge Haulers on the Volga
Ilya Repin
(1870-1873)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Barge Haulers on the Volga is a portrait, where great Russian artist thinks about work. This portrait raises the question in the people head: who actually does the job? There are many aspects in this portrait, and one of them is, who actually does everything in the state? Who goes to war in if the ruler of the state would want to go to the war?


In the real life is always people, who get more about their jobs than others in that group.  The role of the suffering is always reserved to workers, who don’t, of course, have any education. This portrait might inspire Karl Marx or Friedrich Engels in the Surplus Value Theory, what has transformed in the hands of sociologists to the theory, what has the same name, but different content and message to the people.


In sociology, The Surplus Value Theory means that some workers don’t do anything in their workplace, and the leaders of the state would see different things in the same thing than other people. When high-class aristocrat told other people about the barge-haulers, they meant the people, who owned those vessels. When the owners of those vessels told about those barge haulers, they meant the captains of those vessels.


They didn’t mean the men who pulled the vessels. And this is the very good thing to think even in the modern working life. If we were captains of that vessel, we would do that job even 12 hours per day, but those men who pull this thing would not stand that long. In this picture is a message that even if the persons have the same salary for this work, then another person would get more than others. The superiority official makes light and easy days, but the people who pull this thing has very hard work to do.


In this picture is the good message about the work of the boss. This person might put all work to his henchmen, and then he must not do anything. If the person doesn’t do single work during his workday, this might make those days boring. And that kind of place is actually very light for those persons, who could do even 16 hours working day in their offices. So this is the message of this famous portrait, what is a very good example of the Russian realism from 19th. century.

Capitalism is a blessing and a curse.

Basically. There is nothing wrong with capitalism. The idea of capitalism is simple. If people like your products, they buy them. And that brings money to your bank accounts. If people don’t like our product, they don’t buy it. And that drives you into bankruptcy. That is the economic Darwinism. If the company cannot sell its products. That removes it from markets.  Other ways. We can say that if the company cannot answer those new challenges, it will be terminated immediately. In the Soviet Union, there was no capitalism. And the competition between companies. Did not exist. That caused a situation where the merchandise. With bad quality being. Entered. Into shops. Without competition, there was no development. And that turned those products old-fashioned. That raised the Soviets' addiction. To the natural resources. To get Western currency. They sold gas and oil to get dollars, which they needed to buy Western technology. That caused a situation. The Soviet technology started to ...

Hidden order in quantum entropy can endanger the quantum network.

"Physicists have uncovered hidden magnetic patterns lurking inside a puzzling state of matter called the pseudogap, which appears just before certain materials become superconductors. Credit: Shutterstock. (ScitechDaily, Superconductivity Breakthrough: Hidden Order Found Inside Quantum Chaos) We know the thing. Superconductivity makes objects levitate. That levitation is known as the Meissner effect. The effect is formed when all atoms in the system are in the same way. In a very low temperature. Those atoms are in the same quantum field. Because atoms are inside one collective quantum field, that thing makes it possible to push that quantum field up. And because that field is forming a collective bubble that moves the entire object up. In a superconducting wire, the atoms are. Under one collective quantum field. Because electricity travels in that field. There doesn’t form standing waves, and that denies the resistance.  In the Meissner effect, the electromagnetic fields trav...

The problem with mirror life.

"Mirror life presents serious dangers, primarily due to its potential to interact unpredictably with the natural world. Without natural checks like predators or antibiotics, mirror organisms could replicate uncontrollably, creating risks that scientists are only beginning to understand. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, “Mirror Bacteria” Warning: A New Kind of Life Could Pose a Global Threat) When we think about artificial life, and especially mirror life. We must say. This technology. It can save billions of lives. But otherwise, those kinds of organisms could be hostile to their mirror forms. The shape of the mirror-life is like a form of a vampire. In movies, vampires look cute. But then. They show their real nature. The mirror-organisms are created for something. They look like original organisms. But they are AI-generated mirror-organisms. The purpose is to control things like hospital bacteria.  Mirror-life is the artificial life created by AI. And genologists. T...
