Week 10 [17.12-23.12.18] How to Have a Good Conversation

Too often, a conversation results in wasted time — and nothing productive to show for it. Whether you’ve run into someone at a university, you have a scheduled call or simply a meeting with somebody, you can use specific tactics to have a more meaningful conversation. In my opinion good conversation is all about listening and paing attention. When I'm meeting with somebody I put down my smart phone, I don't like distraction - I want the person that's with me to feel that I'm present at the moment. Here are some tips to have a better conversation in general. Question: 1) Do you consider yourself as a good listener? 2) How often you get distracted during conversation? 3) Do you prefer face to face conversation or texting? 

Week 10 [17.12-23.12.18] - Simulated Reality

Synonyms for Simulated reality. (2016). Retrieved 2018, December 08, from https://thesaurus.plus/synonyms/simulated_reality Surely you have heard of such a theory of the universe in which it is said that our “reality” is a simulation. Everything around you may not really exist until you interact with this area of ​​our world. Let's imagine that our world is a simulation. That you are just some kind of “entity” that thinks that it is real. But what is reality? Consider for a minute what reality means to you, and what it doesn’t? Most likely you will answer: this is what I see, feel and remember; consciousness, because without it, there is nothing. Imagine being a brain. You are in a place closed from the external world and all you have is the flow of electrical impulses through neurons which are triggered by senses. You get to know the world only through the “interface” given to you. The basic idea is that you predict what is outside on the basis of the informatio...

Week 10 [17.12-23.12.18] - Is Anything Real?

A silly question for people who do not believe in the theory of simulation (matrix). But what is “reality”? How can you know for sure that what you feel is real? What is behind the "self"? How much information can we store? Where are our memories stored? What is memory? Where is the truth, and where is the lie? All this in the video on the channel "Vsauce". Enjoy viewing. Questions: Is anything real and how do you know? :) Explain your point of view  Have you heard about the study of philosophy - epistemology ("Theory of Knowledge") before?  Do you believe in the idea of ​​Solipsism or Realism? Why?  Did you like the cat example? :)

Week 10 [17.12-23.12.18] What can happen with human body after his death?

Death is the last step of every human being. The body succumbs to biological processes.  Embalming of corpses is used in order to temporarily prevent decomposition and restore a natural appearance for viewing the body after death. The blood is replaced with special fluids in order to ensure no diseases will be transmitted to the third-party persons. The embalmed body dries up instead of rotting. In the natural process of body decomposition, the first thing we can notice is a green spot on the stomach. That means the stomach started rotting. Next, the veins become extremely visible and the bloating of the whole body can be noticed. The body within 6 years from the burial will fall apart, turn into dust. When it comes to body cremation, it lasts from 2 to 3 hours. It depends on the posture of the man and the material which was used to build the coffin. The wooden one burns longer than cardboard. This method is usually chosen when the body has been defo...
