Life is a fight. Fight against aging is a fight for quality of life Life's fight

Fight against life: technologies for population reduction

In addition to drugs, the weapons used in modern total war are technologies for population reduction.That is, technologies that achieve the same goals as drugs, the same goals as conventional weapons. Therefore, we have the right to call these technologies weapons. Ultimately, all of these weapons are aimed at destroying life as such - the most important target against which modern warfare is waged. To destroy life in man and humanity in all its manifestations - spiritual, physical and intellectual - this is what the collective global aggressor wants.

War in the demographic subspace is aimed primarily at the destruction of physical life. However, in this way a double blow is dealt to both spiritual and mental space. Indeed, along with the decline in the population, not only the physical, but also the spiritual and intellectual potential of society is decreasing. A people weakened in this way ceases to be able to defend their country, their faith, ceases to realize the need for such protection.

Let me emphasize that the deep meaning of modern war is the confrontation between forces committed to life and forces committed to death - the forces of vitacracy (life power) and the forces of thanatocracy (death power).The worship of the cult of death and its spread - this is what lies at the basis of the new world order, for the creation of which the global clique is waging war, waging in all ways that sow death in the body, soul and consciousness of man, peoples, humanity.

Above, we talked about how the use of drugs as a weapon to achieve the goals of modern war gives it a narcotic dimension. In connection with the use of technologies for population reduction, we have the right to introduce the term - "medical and biological dimension of war." In this war, as well as in the anti-state, everything is exactly the opposite, everything is perverted - medicine from a servant of life turns into a distributor of all kinds of the most sophisticated forms of death.

We will talk about how population reduction technologies are used and how this biomedical dimension of war manifests itself in this chapter.

This will be a tricky conversation. War is war. And evil is great and insidious. But in order to resist him, we must know his methods, the weapon that our enemy uses. When we come into contact with darkness in this analysis, we must have and keep light in our soul, we must cling even more strongly to life. Because life is God, and He is the best Warrior. Trusting in Him, keeping faith in our souls, let us overcome the enemy. And with a sense of bright hope, let's start the story.

Russia has long been the target of a demographic attack. The World Bank projects in the field of health, or, as they were also called, health care, which were given to us so generously against loans, included obvious measures to reduce the birth rate and population. The World Bank, as a body of world government, generally specializes in such matters. They do this under the slogan of family planning, protection of motherhood and childhood. They issue tied (that is, under what they themselves indicate) loans, for example, for health care reform, in some regions of the country, and there, as a condition for obtaining this loan, all sorts of vile requirements are recorded. In particular, to purchase laparoscopes, which are used to sterilize the population. Another feature of this project was the distribution of free contraceptives among girls aged 15 and over and low-income women (and the vast majority of them). So the state itself, on a tip from the World Bank, had to finance the reduction of its own population, simultaneously corrupting schoolchildren through the lessons of the so-called sex education, also imposed by foreign "benefactors." This particular project of the World Bank does not end there. They want more. They provide for the closure of maternity hospitals. And, really, why are they, if the birth rate is not provided. Well, and one more detail that struck bank designers in the head - to organize, as an experiment, assistance to patients with sexually transmitted diseases in antenatal clinics. That is, where healthy pregnant women are served, "as an experiment" (remember the fascist experiments) an infection is introduced that can lead to illness of the future mother and child, causing changes leading to his possible death or genetic pathology.

Do you think I am writing abstract facts? Not at all. All this was laid down in the World Bank's healthcare reform project in Tver and Kaluga regions. The loan was taken, and the corresponding government decree regarding the implementation of this World Bank project was adopted in 1996.

Drugs are easier to deal with. There are international organizations there that are declared criminal for the fact that they will distribute funds that lead to illness and death, and ultimately to a decrease in the population. The World Bank achieves the same goals, only in different ways. So what is the difference between him and international criminal organizations? “By their fruits you will know them” (Matt. 7:16).

Alas, the World Bank is not alone in these criminal acts. There are still other organizations pursuing the same goals and collectively forming the forces of what may be called life sciences NATO, which is understood as a collective meta-aggressor, introducing and distributing medico-biological means of destruction, reduction and prevention of the origin of human life.

One of the members of the biomedical NATO (this is consonant with the Gestapo) is the international eugenic organization "Communication with the Population" (CLN) with headquarters in Washington. Founded in 1968, this organization was called Zero Population Growth. In 2002, it changed its name, but the essence remained the same.

CLOs are known to seek to “stabilize” global population growth through the use of tools such as “family planning (this is another name for preventing fertility), educating women (that is, convincing them not to have children) and exercising the right to personal reproductive choice (that is, abortion and sterilization) "

Given what they do, her motto sounds derisive: "Education and Action for a Better World."

All of this eugenic brew is spreading under the guise of fighting global warming. It is known that the best remedy for headaches is the guillotine. Moreover, the organization does not even question whether people are really the cause of global warming.

Professor Paul Reiter, one of the UN climate control experts, said: “We imagine we are living in an age of reason, and anxiety about global warming is presented as a kind of science. But this is not science. This is propaganda ... I have often heard that there is a consensus of thousands of scientists on the issue of global warming. And that humans are causing a catastrophic change in the climate system. So I am that one scientist, and there are still many of us who believe that this is simply not true. "

By the way, the activists of the organization cite Russia with its dynamics of a significant reduction in population as a positive example, which should be followed by all other countries. In what - in what, and in this they are vigorously praising us.

At a meeting of the organization's employees with this very population, one of those present asked a question regarding the compliance of the population control policy with the constitution and received a puzzling answer: "We are not engaged in population control, we are engaged in population stabilization." One might think that this very stabilization does not imply control.

The cunning in this answer also lay in the fact that one of the founders of the organization, Paul Ehrlich, which, I recall, was originally called Zero Population Growth, said literally the following: “We must control the population not only through a system of rewards and punishments, but and through coercion, if voluntary methods do not take effect. "

As part of the family planning program, tens of thousands of Russian women were sterilized in the early years of its implementation. Voluntary methods in the conditions of "shock therapy" had an effect here.

The presentation, where employees of the organization were asked uncomfortable questions, showed how African women are sterilized with vaccines. Activists are in favor of adopting a law that would provide for the introduction of "sex education" as a compulsory subject in schools, which, as practice shows, is in fact the corruption of children and youth. The textbook on sex education, which was developed for the second grade of Russian schools, was called "Your friend a condom." I'm not kidding. It was called that. Within the framework of this program, students in the older grades were provided with "lessons to relieve feelings of shame." And the questionnaire "What do you know about sex", distributed among teenage schoolchildren by the uncles who prepared the family planning program, was banned by the General Prosecutor's Office for its seductive nature. One of these uncles, incidentally, was the owner of a peep-show, and the other was awarded the MacArthur Foundation's LGBT Prize.

It is known from sexopathology that early sexual intercourse quickly leads to the extinction of reproductive functions.

In the mid-90s, the Federal Target Family Planning program, which provides for what the Community Liaison organization does, was funded from the federal budget, and almost in full, in contrast to targeted programs such as Disabled Children "And" Orphans ", which were catastrophically underfunded.

At that time, before the adoption of the next federal budget, providing for the extension of funding for the Family Planning program, a collection of signatures against the funding of the program was organized through the parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church and a number of Muslim organizations. And the State Duma before the adoption of the budget was literally inundated with letters, telegrams, huge bundles of signatures from all over Russia. It was a powerful popular campaign, unprecedented in its organization, concentration and display of the strength of the people's spirit and its capabilities.

And the Duma, literally stunned by this protest stream, despite active attempts by all kinds of radical liberals and democrats to break through the funding of the program, voted against. It was a truly popular victory, and it was a victory for the Russian Orthodox Church, which carried out colossal explanatory work and managed to organize the people. It is for these opportunities that the enemies of Russia hate the ROC so fiercely, call it enemy number one, in every possible way trying to denigrate it, to tear it away from the people.

I remember waving my fists, but I did it more reflexively than meaningfully. The ringing in my ears was the only sound I could hear, although I saw the crowd in the front rows around the ring raging and I could feel my opponent's blows coming.

I fought for the first and only time, and my reaction was as it should have been: I stepped back and started fighting. If I had resigned myself to defeat and stopped, I would never have known if I was a real fighter or just a copycat, warrior, or challenger.

We suffer pain and struggle as we move forward. Pain, struggle, and defeat tell us more about who we are and what we are capable of than times of calm. We are given the opportunity to become stronger by going through pain. The use of this auspicious moment will either lead to our further development, or contribute to our downfall.

If problems help us become stronger, why do we avoid them? Why do we seek lightness, when is it the struggle that leads us to success?

Life is war

Every day we wake up in one of two versions of ourselves; let's call one a warrior, and the second, aimed at external, material existence - resistance. Resistance is anything that makes us weak and timid.

Resistance is our fear, anxiety, self-doubt, lack of courage and imagination, and laziness. When we wake up, the resistance immediately starts working. This is the part of us that wants to take another nap after the alarm goes off or watch TV. It is a voice in our heads that fears risk and wants us to stay in our comfort zone, avoiding growth.

Resistance can take the form of people in our lives who want us to remain as weak as they are. All this prevents us from going out into the world and creating something beautiful, preventing us from leaving behind a legacy. These people are afraid that they will lose us to the greatness that we have. They offer us pizza when we're on a diet, call us to the movies when we need to turn in a project the next day, and ridicule our bold goals, dreams and desires.

Resistance is the real enemy. An enemy that most of us ignore or support but don't fight. Most of us embrace fear, laziness, and the desire for an easy, petty life, because the battle against resistance never ends. It is a lifelong war filled with daily battles in our minds and souls.

But we have an ally ...

Inside each of us - man, woman or child - there is a warrior. We have a source of inner courage that grows stronger every time we defeat resistance in battle, but weakens every time we are defeated.

The warrior eats every time we take a risk, every time we wake up in anxiety, every time we aim for another rep at the gym, or spend another hour at work. It grows every time we persist, every time we advance.

I defeated the resistance as I stood up after that crushing blow and continued to fight. I beat the resistance when I turned off my phone and worked when the resistance wanted me to hang on Facebook, and I drove it away, strangled that thought and did my job.

You killed the resistance when you booked that trip in the face of fear, when you started your project even though your significant other scoffed at the very idea, when you yourself encouraged someone to act even though you were jealous at heart. You have crushed the resistance that wanted to crush your dream.

The meaning of life is to accept the struggle

Decades ago, Theodore Roosevelt urged his fellow Americans to embrace a busy life. He urged to seek struggle and avoid ease. He saw that the essence of life, and not just success, lies in a busy life, and that death and wasted time lie in an easy life.

Indeed, to live a successful life of action, purpose, and growth, we must strive for challenges, pain, and struggle. We must push ourselves beyond what we can currently achieve, so we can achieve more.

To avoid fighting is to avoid life itself.

The next time you feel yourself succumbing to weakness or forces that want you to remain worthless, don't give up, fight back. This is reality and it is a matter of life and death.

If you fight, you will be rewarded with strength and courage, you must live a wonderful life, and if you avoid fighting, you choose the path that millions of people take every day: a petty life of fear, insignificance and betrayal of the potential that we all possess, in favor of a coward, into which too many later turn.

In 1903, Nobel Prize laureate I. I. Mechnikov wrote in his book "Studies on Human Nature": "Our old age is a disease that must be treated like any other." However, most doctors and physiologists are against recognizing aging as a disease. They believe that aging is a normal physiological process, like embryonic development or puberty.

Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Head of the Laboratory of Genetics of Life Expectancy and Aging at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Head of the Laboratory of Molecular Radiobiology and Gerontology of the Institute of Biology of the Komi Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexei Moskalev told the correspondent of the journal "SCIENCE First Hand" not so much a natural process, as many believe, as a disease that can and should (!) be treated. Already now there are mechanisms that can radically slow down the aging process and minimize the period of “helpless old age” in model animals, however, according to A. Moskalev, it is impossible to begin clinical trials of anti-aging drugs for humans, because aging is not officially recognized as a disease.

Death before 150 years is a violent death.
I. I. Mechnikov

Everyone wants to live long and at the same time not grow old and not get sick, but the reality is that living organisms age and die. However, living systems, unlike non-living ones, have an advantage. If an inanimate system "grows old", if something breaks in it, breakdowns will accumulate until it collapses completely. But living cells have repair mechanisms by which they can "repair" themselves, and can also be renewed due to the reserve of stem cells: when at some point the "repair" becomes "unprofitable", the cells commit "suicide" - they go into apoptosis , and new mature cells are formed from the reserve cells. What we call aging begins when repair mechanisms inadvertently break down, when maintenance mechanisms are damaged. homeostasis, the constancy of the internal environment of the body.

Moskalev Alexey Alexandrovich - Corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Biological Sciences, author of more than 80 scientific articles, books and popular lectures in the field of biology, genetics of aging and life expectancy, radiation genetics. Organizer of a regular international conference Genetics of aging and longevity... Consultant to international scientific foundations, pharmaceutical companies, expert of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation and the European Research Commission

Human cells are not the most perfect when it comes to their ability to renew themselves. It is known that hydras (invertebrate coelenterates) have potential immortality, and American researchers recently proved that numerous relatives of hydras - jellyfish, corals, sea anemones, and other primitive animals - ctenophores, sponges, lamellar and flat worms - have this feature. These organisms, unlike humans, retain the unique ability of stem cells to regenerate any tissue of the body in the adult state, that is, the ability to self-rejuvenate organs is high. Adult human stem cells are known to have very limited regenerative potential. Plants are also known in which the youth phase can last for many decades or even centuries, although after reproduction they quickly age and die (bamboo, Puya Raimondi).

There are several theories of aging; according to one of them, the evolutionary genetic or the theory of accumulation of mutations, aging is associated with the fact that the pressure of natural selection weakens with age. Since in the wild animals rarely live to old age, because they die from predators, hunters, diseases, etc., they "try" to leave offspring as soon as possible. But it follows from this that only those genes, in which unfavorable mutations are manifested at an early age, do not pass through the rigid sieve of selection. Harmful mutations that appear in old age no longer experience serious evolutionary pressure, since most of the population simply does not live to see them.

Our colleague from California prof. T.V. Tatarinova, having sequenced the genomes of fossil remains of ancient people, found that they had a very high frequency of alleles of genes associated with age-related diseases. This can serve as an indirect confirmation of the evolutionary-genetic theory of aging: people at that time lived a little, and accordingly, they accumulated a greater number of mutations associated with age-related diseases, since they did not live to see them.
But now the opposite situation is also becoming relevant: as the lifespan increases, the “harmful” alleles of older age gradually “leave” the population, but due to the development of medicine, mutations accumulate, which appear in childhood. Perhaps in the future we will learn how to diagnose alleles of both early and late manifested mutations even at the embryonic stage of development, and we will prepare a gene therapy program for each future person. Now, although we can edit the genome to the letter with CRISPR / Cas9, this system is still imperfect. But in this direction you need to work

The less protected individuals of a species from predators, hunger and disease, the earlier its individuals are forced to begin to reproduce and the earlier old age sets in in their organisms due to the accumulation of mutations in ancestral forms with effects manifested in older ages. The opposite situation also takes place - species that start reproduction late, age slowly and live long. Depending on the living conditions, life expectancy varies tens of times. The Greenland polar shark is recognized as the longest-living vertebrate animal; it lives for 400 years, reaching maturity after 100! Deep sea bass live up to 200 years. They live in safe conditions, they do not need early reproduction, so selection rejects mutations with a delayed effect. Or take two rodents of comparable size - a mouse and a naked mole rat. Unlike a mouse that lives for a maximum of four years (and even then under the conditions of separate laboratories), the life span of a naked mole rat can exceed thirty years, and it can leave offspring evenly throughout its life. The naked mole rat lives underground, where it is not threatened by predators or cold, and mice, which are actively hunted by owls and foxes, should leave offspring as quickly as possible. Again we see a difference in aging effects of selection on early or late reproduction.

Our colleagues at Duke University have shown that in just a few decades of stable economic and political situation in Sweden, there has been a small parallel shift in the population life expectancy curve. Surprisingly, not only the average, but also the maximum life expectancy of the population has increased, and this indicates a slowdown in aging. But these are very slow processes; in order to radically change the situation in an evolutionary way, it is necessary to live for millennia in conditions such as naked mole rats.

There are more than a dozen known aging mechanisms; depending on the individual characteristics of a particular person and his genotype, some play a large role, others - a lesser one, although everyone contributes. In short, we all age, but in different ways: some develop mitochondrial pathologies and cellular respiration disorders, others are “skewed” towards chronic inflammation or insulin resistance, etc. As a result, age-dependent diseases develop - type 2 diabetes mellitus, diseases of the cardiovascular system, neurodegenerative diseases, and oncology. Thus, aging is a preclinical stage of age-related diseases. They are, in fact, late symptoms of the underlying disease - aging. In the early stages of the development of most of these diseases, the symptoms are often nonspecific, common with other age-related changes, and fighting them when they appear clinically, as a rule, is too late, expensive and ineffective. To combat aging, first of all, preventive measures are needed, and the sooner they are applied, the more significant the result of prolonging the active period of life.

Medicine lives in part with 19th century paradigms. The stereotypes of combating diseases caused by pathogens - viruses, fungi, bacteria, where there is one causative factor - "spoiled" medicine for 150 years ahead. Because there is always a temptation to apply this approach - to kill the enemy and thereby cure the disease - to all diseases. But, as we see, for example, this does not quite work with cancer, and with aging too: these are complex processes associated not with external factors, but with deviations in the mechanisms of self-regulation of the existence of a living system.

Before translating any geroprotective therapy into clinical practice, it is first necessary to learn how to determine according to which "scenario" aging will develop in a particular person, and for this it is necessary to develop objective biomarkers of aging - measurable parameters that, qualitatively, quantitatively and reproducibly change with aging. Nowadays, approaches are being developed in which it is proposed to use several dozen such biomarkers: it is almost impossible to choose one indicator that would satisfy all the criteria for an objective assessment of the aging rate, since aging is a complex problem, different organs, for example, the liver, brain or skin, age in one and the same person at different speeds.

Since there are several mechanisms of aging, there are also several targets that need to be hit in order to slow it down. It is necessary to act, on the one hand, on all targets, on the other - having determined with the help of biomarkers the most relevant for a particular person - first of all on them. This means that there will not be a universal “pill for old age”, an individual approach to everyone is needed. In addition, not all targets can be “hit” with drugs, sometimes it is necessary to use gene therapy, to correct the DNA structure, or to act on the function of the protein product of the gene. At the same time, you will have to regularly monitor and diagnose all body systems in order to maintain the homeostatic system. It is still far from the introduction of biomarkers of aging into everyday life, a person cannot come, for example, to "Invitro" and pass an analysis on the rate of his aging. But it is important and necessary to work in this direction.

If we pose the problem correctly, and look for methods to solve it, we can now repair our body and mental functions, sighting, like a car. Today, at the level of experiments, there is everything: biomarkers of aging, geroprotectors that extend the life of model animals, even experimental gene therapy drugs. But in order to get this problem off the ground, a large international mega-project is needed to radically slow down the aging process, like the construction of the Large Hadron Collider. Or at least a national program for the development of biomedical innovations for active aging.

For any progress to be made, for the work to prolong youth to be well funded, aging must be officially recognized as a disease. Today, the international classification of diseases does not include such a disease, which means that scientists cannot receive funding for anti-aging research, and pharmaceutical companies cannot bring anti-aging drugs to the market. As practice has shown, some donor funds (I will not name them) cut off applications on the word "aging", anti-aging research is perceived as pseudo-scientific. The paradigm that aging is a natural process is firmly in the minds of people, and why fight against the law of nature? After all, it's like inventing a perpetual motion machine. However, the practically ageless long-lived animal species, examples of which I have cited, show that there is no such law of nature, but there is an accumulation of errors and breakdowns in the systems for maintaining homeostasis of the human body, which, in the future, will theoretically be possible to put in order, how to fix an old car.

The problem is not getting off the ground, not because scientists are generally bad at work. Scientists are a part of society, and if there is no social order, then there is no redistribution of finances in this area. Remember, when AIDS patients staged demonstrations around the world, enormous resources were devoted to fighting the disease, and as a result, their quality of life improved significantly. Now it is not a fatal disease, but a chronic disease with an acceptable quality of life. This is an example of the fact that in a short period of time, literally in a few years, with the investment of significant resources, with the understanding and support of society, it is possible to achieve great results in solving even such serious problems as AIDS, which, unlike old age, only a few percent of the entire population suffer from. ...

If we live long, humanity will become wiser, more balanced and responsible both in relation to nature and in relation to itself. The human age is too short to see and evaluate the results of their rash actions, their ignorance. For example, politicians come to power, do something, but do not have time to see all the results of their actions, then the next ones come ... If these people, in 50, in 100 years, could see the consequences of their actions, they would probably be different disposed of their power

Unfortunately, both in our country and in others there are forces for which the recognition of aging as a disease is not beneficial - these are, in particular, pseudoscientific corporations, which are completely at the mercy of the struggle for the prolongation of youth, firms that release on the market unreasonable means supposedly to fight aging ... There is a huge market for anti-aging cosmetics and dietary supplements that are not drugs, therefore, do not have an evidence base, do not undergo fundamental clinical research and clinical trials. Now such firms make big money simply by pointing out the packaging of their goods. anti-ageif aging is recognized as a disease, they will have to go through procedures similar to the FDA and prove that their cosmetic or nutritional supplement really has an anti-aging effect. In the meantime, some are earning a lot of money, while others are wondering on the coffee grounds whether the next supplement will help them or not.

There are also religious organizations that convince that one should not interfere with the plan of God. And why fight aging, if eternal life is already prepared for everyone? In addition, people, especially the elderly, with a bouquet of age-related diseases, suffering from depression, often believe that the struggle to prolong life will only prolong their suffering. However, you need to understand that these problems - chronic pain, depression - are also associated with age-related changes and the fight against aging is the key to improving the quality of life of older people.

There is such a concept - "Compression of morbidity"... Unfortunately, in Russian there is no analogue of this term, it means compressed morbidity period - This is a phenomenon that is observed in hereditary centenarians, people who live 90 years or more in each generation. The study of the structure of their morbidity showed that they not only live longer than the majority, but also age-related diseases and, as a result, disability, come to them on average 20 years later. This is what modern medicine should strive for: prevention of aging and timely complex therapy will be able to push old age as far as possible in its current understanding. If we do not get sick for a long time, we will live an active quality life for a long time.

We like to talk about overpopulation very much, it is believed that the state is not profitable for people to live long. However, the US pension system is already "slipping", because 60% of the funds go to the treatment of age-related diseases, but it turns out to be ineffective. We need to fight aging, and not just its symptoms, then we can take the burden off the pension system. If the retirement age is now raised to 65-70 years, it will be a crime, but if people are healthy, they will not only be able to work longer, they themselves will want to work, and will be happy with what they can.

Life in the world is one long struggle, and a person who does not know the struggle of life represents either an immature soul or a soul that has risen above the life of this world. The goal of a human being in this world is to achieve the perfection of humanity, and therefore it is necessary that a person go through what we call the struggle of life.
There are two different attitudes that people show when participating in life's struggles. One beats bravely, the other becomes frustrated, his heart breaks even before he reaches his goal. One has only to give up courage while he is fighting the battle of life, and the burden of the whole world will fall on his head. But he, on the move, leading the battle of life, he alone makes his way. The one whose patience is exhausted, the one who fell in this struggle, will be trampled by those who go through life. Even the courage and courage are not enough to go through the battle of life, something else must be studied and understood: a person must investigate the nature of life, he must understand the psychology of such a battle.
In order to understand this struggle, one must see how many sides are inherent in it. There are three sides: fighting oneself, fighting others, and fighting circumstances. One person may be able to fight himself, but that is not enough. The other is able to fight other people, but this is not enough either. And the third meets the requirements of the circumstances, but even this is not enough. All three sides must be studied and cognized, a person must be able to fight in all three directions.

Now the question arises: where should we start and where should we end? In general, a person begins by entering into a struggle with others, he fights his whole life and never comes to an end. If a person is wise, he fights against circumstances, and maybe something gets a little better. But the one who fights with himself turns out to be the wiser of all, because as soon as he enters into a fight with himself, which is the most difficult, all other battles become easy for him. Fighting with yourself is like singing without accompaniment. Fighting others is the definition of war. Fighting with yourself is the definition of the world. At the beginning and from the outside, it may seem cruel to fight with oneself, especially when the person is right, but one who has penetrated deeper into life will find that fighting with oneself is the most beneficial in the end.
Moving on to the question of the nature of the struggle with oneself: there are three aspects to it. The first is to bring our thought, word and action in line with the requirements of our ideal, while simultaneously giving expression to all the impulses and desires that exist within our natural being. The next aspect of the struggle with oneself is to adapt to others, to their various ideas, their various requirements. By adapting to them, we become as narrow or as wide as their established requirements for us are - this is very subtle, difficult for everyone and to understand and put into practice. The third aspect of the struggle with oneself is to give a place - big or small, depending on the need - to others in their own life, in their own heart.
When we consider fighting others, there are also three things to think about. The first is how to control and manage people and activities, which, by the will of fate, are our duty, our responsibilities. Another aspect is to what extent we allow ourselves to be used by others in different situations and situations in life, where we put a limit beyond which we should not allow others to use our time, our energy, our work, our patience - where to draw the line. And the third aspect is to adapt to different concepts that exist in other people who have reached different levels of development.

As for the third aspect of the struggle - the struggle with circumstances, there are circumstances that can be changed, and there are circumstances that cannot be changed, in front of which a person is powerless. Again, there are circumstances that can be changed, and yet, a person does not consider himself capable, does not find the strength and means to change them. If you investigate these questions of life, think about them and meditate for the sake of inspiration and light to shed on them, then you can understand how to fight in life, then a person will surely find help. Of course, a person can come to such a state when he sees that his life has become easier.
In addition to what I have already said, I would like to note how a Sufi views this question, how a Sufi would put such a work. The Sufi views the struggle as inevitable, as a struggle to go through. From a mystical point of view, he sees that the more he pays attention to the struggle, the wider the struggle will spread, the less he pays attention to it, the better he will get through it. When he looks at the world, what does he see? He sees that everyone, clasping his head in his hands, is busy only with his own struggle, and it is not wider than the palm of the hand. He thinks, “Am I going to sit like this, watching my own struggle? This is not the answer to the question. " Therefore, his job is to be involved in the struggles of others, to comfort them, to strengthen them, to lend a helping hand to them. By doing this, he neutralizes his own struggle, this frees him up in order to move forward.

Now the question is: how does a Sufi fight? He fights with strength, with understanding, with open eyes and armed with patience. He does not look at losses: what is lost is lost. He does not think about the pain of yesterday; yesterday has passed for him. Yes, if there is a pleasant memory, then he holds it in front of him, it helps along the way. He accepts both admiration and hatred from those around him with a smile, he thinks only about the fact that both make up a rhythm similar to the rhythm of musical bars. There is “both one and two” a - strong, accented and weak stress. Praise is not complete without blasphemy, and blasphemy cannot do without praise.
He does not allow power to be blindly guided, he holds the torch of wisdom before him, because he believes that the present is an echo of the past and that the future will be a reflection of the present. It is good for a man to think about only one moment, but he must think about where he comes from and where he will go. Every thought that comes to his mind, every impulse, every word that he utters, for him is like a grain - a grain that falls into this soil of life and takes root. Thus, he discovers that nothing is lost, every good deed, every small deed of kindness, love, no matter who it is directed at, ever sprouts and bears fruit.

The Sufi does not view life as separate from work, but sees how real work can be accomplished. The symbol of Chinese mystics is a branch hung with fruits, which they held in their hand. What does this mean? This means that the goal of life is to reach a stage where every moment becomes fruitful. What is fruitful? Does this mean bearing fruit for itself? No, trees do not bear fruit for themselves, but for others. The real benefit is not for a person to do something for himself, the real benefit is in what he does for others. Achieving everything he wants to achieve, whether on earth or in heaven, what result follows from this? The result is this: so that a person can present to others everything that he has achieved, everything that he has gained on earth or in heaven. Propkar - in the language of Vedanta means work for the benefit of others, the only fruit of life.

As long as the baby is innocent, he is happy, he knows nothing about the struggle of life. I remember these lines written by the late Nizam of Hyderabad, the great mystic:
Oh, what a time it was when my eyes did not see sorrow,
When the heart did not know desires, and life was devoid of suffering!

This is the first stage. From here we come to the maturity of the mind. A person sees that no one can be trusted: neither a friend nor a relative, no one can withstand the time of trials, everyone lies, there is nothing true around. At first, he thinks that all this is directed directly against him. One dervish once wrote the following lines on the wall of a mosque near which he spent the night:

The world believes in an ideal God,
Not knowing if He is friend or foe.
So the waves all run ashore,
And the atom thinks that they are playing for him.

He thinks: " The wave lifts me up, it is favorable for me, the wave descends, it is unfavorable for me ”. A person thinks: “My friend is he good for me or he is bad”, But then realizes that this is the nature of the world. In all of us there is nafs - the ego, and each ego is fighting against the other. In each hand is a sword, in the hand of a friend, as well as in the hand of an enemy. A friend will hit after a kiss - there is no other difference.
And then a person realizes that there is nothing to expect from the world. The great Indian poet Tulsidas said: "Everyone does and speaks as much as he understands." Why should we blame the other for what he could not understand? If he has no greater understanding, where will this poor man get him from? As much as he understands, he does. After that, a person understands that everything that happens should be taken calmly. If he receives an insult, he takes it calmly, if a kind word comes, he accepts it with great gratitude, if a bad word comes, he accepts it calmly and gratefully. If it’s only a bad word, he’s grateful it’s not a blow. If it’s a blow, he’s grateful it’s not the worst. He is ready to give his time, his service to everyone, both worthy and unworthy, because he sees the manifestation of God in everything. he sees God in every form, both the highest and the lowest, in the most beautiful, in the most insignificant.

The Sufi says: “ If God is separate from the Universe, then I would rather worship that God who can be seen, who can be heard, who can be tasted, which can be felt with the heart and perceived with the soul.”. He worships God who is in front of him, he sees God who is present in everything.
Christ said: “ You will see me that I am like Him who sent me”. This does not mean that Christ claimed the divinity of his own person. This is what the dervishes call hamin ost - everything is He and He is everything. There is not a single atom in the Universe that He is not. We must recognize Him, we must respect Him in every person, even in the face of our enemy, even in the most insignificant. Our piety, our spirituality are worthless if we don't.

It is not enough to read a few books on philosophy and know that everything is God. Reading a religious book and feeling that we are godly is not enough. Going to a religious place and being content with how religious we are is not enough. It is not enough to give alms convinced that we are doing something great. We must give our ministry and our time equally worthy and unworthy, for this is the only opportunity for giving. This life lasts only a few days, and we will never again have the opportunity to give, to serve another, to do something for another. We should be grateful to God that He made us able to give, able to serve others.

The other day, on the Inosmi website, I read the translation of Philip Ball's article "How life (and death) originates from disorder" from the American magazine "Quanta Magazine", published here on February 6 this year. ( https://inosmi.ru/science/20170206/238672003.html).

In the article presented below by Philip Ball, there are a lot of strange omissions, distortions, contradictions and violations of elementary logic when making a judgment about what is happening or a phenomenon. Moreover, through the context of a seemingly scientific reasoning on the subject of philosophical principles of world outlook, the Darwinian theory of evolution is suddenly declared in its most unacceptable, misanthropic interpretation - “the strongest wins” (by definition, the physically strongest). It is declared as true and, moreover, having justification from a physical point of view - the law of nature. This is a strange and very dangerous doctrine in its social dimension (history is evidence of this), which is implicitly elevated by the author to the rank of an absolute social doctrine. This is what made me carefully read the text of this publication and critically comment on the opinions of the author of the article on very important and topical problems of the modern scientific understanding of the world order, not only on an earthly scale, but also on a universal one.
In fact, on the agenda is a new philosophical rethinking of universal essences, with the expansion of the dialectical understanding of the world, which was laid down by the great Greek philosopher Plato almost 2.5 thousand years ago. It is obvious that a transition to a more adequate philosophical worldview method is necessary, in which the dialectics of antinomy are “plus” and “minus”, “matter” and “consciousness”, “body” and “spirit”, etc. are only elements of a more detailed method of understanding the three-dimensionality of the material universal being. (For more information on switching to such a method, see here :)
Trinity also takes into account "zero" - "neutrality" between antinomies, which is also included as an absolute condition for the existence of such opposites themselves. But in the paradigm of the named triadic method of cognizing the world lies the fourth dimension - unchanging potency (generated by the principles of dyadism and triadicity of the systemic organization of the world around us). This is the principle of binary triadity - eternal potency, an indispensable factor that makes this whole method logically systemically conditioned and fundamentally complete, extending to all universal essences, and determining them.
In the context of the article presented below, I cite my commentary (highlighted in burgundy), based on a new - trialectic method of understanding the world, which, I hope, will allow the reader to see all the logical flaws and overexposures made by the author in his article.

"How life (and death) originates from disorder"
Philip Ball

For a long time, it was believed that life obeys its own set of rules (or maybe laws?)... But since simple systems exhibit signs of natural behavior, scientists debate whether this apparent complexity is purely a consequence of thermodynamics.
What is the difference between physics and biology? (Physics lives by the laws of quantitative mathematics. Biology lives by the laws of qualitative mathematics, which is not linear) Take a golf ball and a cannonball and throw them off the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The laws of physics allow you to predict the trajectories of their fall so accurately that you cannot wish for the best.
Now do the same experiment again, but replace the cannonball with a dove.
Of course, biological systems defy the laws of physics. (Is it? They live not only according to the laws of physics, but also self-organizing effective systems, which have their own energetically secured mover. The mover itself with its energetics is fully described by the laws of physics.)- but, apparently, the latter are also unable to predict their behavior. Biosystems differ in that they are purposeful in order to survive and reproduce. (No, not entirely true. There are biological systems for which reproduction is more important than the survival of each of them) You can say they have a purpose (this is not a goal as such, i.e. a pragmatically logically materialized idea with the help of the environment) - or what philosophers traditionally call teleology - which guides their behavior.
Likewise, based on the state of the universe at a billionth of a second after the Big Bang, physics now allows us to predict how our universe looks today. (This premise is built on a highly controversial idea) But no one thinks that the appearance on Earth of the first primitive cells predictably led to the emergence of the human race. It seems that the course of evolution is not dictated by laws. (It is not clear here what the author calls evolution? If evolution is a gradual change in the forms of a system in a linear process of development of a specific biological system, organisms that are carried out only under the influence of the external environment, then the author is wrong. However, a logical error was made here - the process of evolution depends on not only from your own changes in the body, which are naturally systemic and due to physical (chemical) - mathematical laws, and therefore are linear in their own way, but also due to the fact that changes occur outside such a system, i.e. due to non-linear processes between the system and its environment. And this leads to energy emissions and, as a consequence, to the evolution of the system, if it is sufficiently immanently stable.
Teleology (as such, it does not exist, if you do not take the existence of NOOS for the Truth) and the historical conditioning of biology (?!), according to evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr, make it unique among the sciences. Both of these features result (what does it mean - flow out ?!)perhaps from the only general guiding principle of biology - evolution. It is random and arbitrary, but natural selection gives it the appearance (only visibility!) intentions and goals. Animals are drawn to water not under the influence of some kind of magnetic attraction, but because of instinct, a desire to survive (desire is already meaningful behavior. Instinct is not a product of meaningful behavior - there is a substitution of concepts)... The legs, among other things, serve to lead us to the water. (Silly example: you can both crawl and fly up to the water)
Mayr argued that these features make biology an exceptional science - an independent law. Meanwhile, recent advances in non-equilibrium physics:
theory of complex systems and
information theories dispute this point of view.
If we consider living beings as agents performing calculations (how animals intelligently perform calculations - some kind of nonsense) - collection and storage of information about an unpredictable environment - their abilities and limitations, such as reproduction, adaptation, activity, purpose and meaning, can be understood not as arising from evolutionary improvisation, but as inevitable consequences of physical laws. In other words, a kind of physics seems to underlie the activity of beings and their development in this direction. (Too many reservations: "consequences of physical laws", "a kind of physics" - this is impossible, the voiced assumptions are not a consequence of these assumptions)Meaning and intent - which were thought to be the defining characteristics of living systems - could then naturally arise from the laws of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. (probably, they can, in principle, but what does “meaningfulness” have to do with it when we have to talk about “unconditionality”).
Last November, physicists, mathematicians, and computer scientists met with evolutionary and molecular biologists to talk - and sometimes argue - about these ideas at a seminar at the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico, a mecca for scientists studying "Complex systems". The following question was raised: how special (or not) a scientific discipline is biology?
Not surprisingly, opinions are divided. But one thought sounded very clear: if there is a certain physics behind biological factors and teleology, then it must deal with the same concept that seems to have become central in fundamental physics itself: information (what information is there? - the author does not explain it here. It's a pity!).

Disorder and demons

The first attempts to introduce information and intent into the laws of thermodynamics were made in the mid-19th century, when the Scottish scientist James Clerk Maxwell invented statistical mechanics. (Statistical mechanics is built on certain principles for isolating information, i.e. using certain principles to determine patterns, etc.) Maxwell showed how, with the introduction of these two ingredients, it seemed possible to do things that thermodynamics declared were impossible.
By that time, Maxwell had already demonstrated how predictable and reliable mathematical relationships between the properties of a gas - pressure, volume and temperature - could be inferred from the random and incomprehensible movements of countless molecules feverishly colliding under the influence of thermal energy. In other words, thermodynamics is the new science of heat flow, which combines the vast properties of matter, such as pressure and temperature. (this and all the vastness ?!) - was the result of statistical mechanics at the microscopic level of molecules and atoms.
According to thermodynamics, the ability to extract useful work from the energy resources of the Universe is constantly decreasing. (Why would that be ?! Thermodynamics has a number of flaws, since it claims about entropy in closed systems - and where are these closed systems? The universe is also not a “closed” or “open” system, but a system, systems, systems where “openness "And" closeness "of each of them are very conditional and mostly subjective, when assessing such properties)The centers of energy are reduced, the clots of heat gradually disappear. (And the Universe reappears on the infinite systemic spaces)In any physical process, part of the energy is inevitably dissipated in the form of useless heat, lost among the random movements of molecules. This randomness is measured by a thermodynamic quantity called entropy - a measure of disorder - which is constantly growing. (In closed systems that do not exist, did not exist and never will !!! How to relate to a "closed system" - no way !!! For it is completely closed, that is, it is actually absent for us, thinking people) This is the second law of thermodynamics. In the end, the entire Universe will be reduced to a uniform disorderly mixture: a state of equilibrium in which entropy is maximum and nothing meaningful will ever happen. (Absolute nonsense !!! The justification for such a statement, in the previous comment)
Are we really waiting for such a bleak fate? Maxwell did not want to believe it, and in 1867 the scientist set himself the task of, as he put it, “punching a hole” in the second law. His goal was to take a container of gas where molecules move arbitrarily, and then separate the fast molecules from the slow ones, thereby decreasing the entropy. (That is, he himself essentially “opens a closed system” and “introduces another system into it”, that is, thereby denies his original fundamental principle - “a closed system.” Well, this is impossible, let's be logical to the end ! Further development of this logical absurdity is not interesting - for all this is naive speculation, child's play in some kind of demon. Not serious!)... Imagine a microscopic being - physicist William Thomson would later call him, rather to Maxwell's chagrin, a demon - capable of seeing every single molecule in a vessel. The demon divides the vessel into two compartments, and there is a sliding door in the partition between them. Every time he sees a particularly fast molecule approaching the door from the right compartment, he opens the door to let it into the left. And every time a slow, "cold" molecule approaches the door from the left side, he also lets it through to the other side. In the end, he has a vessel with a compartment for cold gas on the right and hot gas on the left: a heat accumulator that can be used to get work done. This is only possible under two conditions. First, the demon has more information than we do: he can see all the molecules individually, and not just statistically averages. And second, it has an intention: a plan to separate the hot from the cold. Using his knowledge for a specific purpose, he can challenge the laws of thermodynamics. (A false premise, makes all further constructions on it false - the first law of logic.)
At least it seemed so. It took a hundred years to understand why Maxwell's demon could not really subvert the second law and prevent an inexorable slide towards fatal general equilibrium. The reason for this is evidence of a deep connection between thermodynamics and information processing - or, in other words, computation. German and American physicist Rolf Landauer has shown that even if a demon can gather information and (avoiding friction) move a door without any expenditure of energy, sooner or later there will still be reckoning. Since his memory, where information about each movement of molecules is stored, cannot be unlimited, he will have to clean it from time to time - that is, erase what he has already seen and start all over again - before he can continue to accumulate energy. This act of removing information comes with an inevitable cost: it dissipates energy. ("Dissipation of energy and thus an increase in entropy" - chaos of the system, where does this connection between completely non-one-dimensional, ambiguous entities? The energy itself has three expressions: potential, kinetic and effective, actually manifested in the system and mathematically measured in certain physical units) and therefore increases the entropy (what? What system?)... All arguments against the second law, offered by the clever demon, are crossed out by the "Landauer limit": the final cost of erasing information (or more generally converting information from one form to another). (Some kind of magic, linguistic tricks of equilibrists and magicians from physics)
Living organisms are to some extent similar to Maxwell's demon. While a beaker full of chemicals reacting with each other will eventually use up its energy and fall into boring stasis and equilibrium (?!), Living systems collectively avoid a lifeless state of equilibrium from the very beginning of life for about three seconds. half a billion years. They accumulate energy from the environment in order to maintain this disequilibrium state, and they do it with "intention" (?!). Even simple bacteria move with a "target": to sources of heat and food. (An instinctive action predetermined by the system of organization of a given living creature - and no "goal" - of an interpreted will!) In his 1944 book What is Life? physicist Erwin Schrödinger expressed this idea by saying that living organisms feed on "negative entropy." (Another articulated "physical delusion")
According to Schrödinger, they achieve this by collecting and storing information. (All biological systems, except for a smart person, do not intelligently collect and store information, because they do not know what this is “information.” They, due to the physical laws inherent in them, accumulate energy potentials that work according to physical laws, and create new entities for these biological systems, including for an intelligent person, since the bulk of information is processed by the receptors of his body without will and understanding it by this person himself)Some of this information is encoded in their genes and passed down from generation to generation: a set of instructions for collecting negative entropy (not entropy, but the reproduction of a given system by means of mathematically determined principles embedded in the system itself and causing its existence)... Schrödinger did not know where the information was stored or how it was encoded, but his intuition told him that it was written in what he defined as an "aperiodic crystal", and this idea served as an inspiration for Francis Crick, a physicist in his main specialty , and James Watson, who in 1953 understood how genetic information could be encoded in the molecular structure of a DNA molecule. (But what does entropy, or anti-entropy have to do with? The principle of the systemic nature of everything and the absence of chaos, as such, is at work here, because chaos is outside the system and cannot be determined by physical methods as a result. How can you relate to something that is absolutely not systemic ?! )
Hence, the genome is at least partly a record of useful knowledge. (this is not knowledge - meaningful information, but simply a certain systematized structure encoded in genes using periodically variable organic chemical molecules), which allowed the ancestors of the organism - already in the distant past - to survive on our planet. According to David Wolpert, a mathematician and physicist at the Santa Fe Institute that sponsored the recent workshop, and his colleague Artemiy Kolchinsky, the key is that well-adapted organisms establish relationships with this environment. (This is how Charles Darwin and other biologists wrote about this since the 19th century - nothing new)If a bacterium is guaranteed to swim left or right when there is a food source in that direction, it is better adapted and will develop more successfully than one that swims in arbitrary directions and therefore finds food only by chance. (A strange way to substantiate the a priori intentionality of the movement of bacteria to food is indirectly declaring the behavior of bacteria as meaningful. This is not so. There are many bacteria, and those that will survive in the right place with a nutrient medium, that is, say, "commensurate with the environment," "Proportionate" - will perish)The correlation between the state of the body and the state of the environment implies that they exchange general information (I hope, unintelligible - unconscious, otherwise it is already some kind of magic and magic, from the side of non-biological systems) Wolpert and Kolchinsky argue that it is this information that helps the body avoid balance - because, like Maxwell's demon, he can adapt his behavior to extract work from the impermanence of the environment. If he did not receive this information, the body would gradually come to a state of equilibrium, that is, to death. (There is no equilibrium and cannot exist in the Universe, the principles of trialectics prohibit equilibrium, otherwise the world would have “collapsed” long ago in the dialectical confrontation of “plus” and “minus”, releasing colossal energy. Harmony is not equilibrium. Harmony is an effective systemic unity of physical opposites counterbalanced by the third metaphysical - quantitative factor, and determining the stable quality of this system, among other similar systems).
From this point of view, life can be viewed as a computational process aimed at optimizing the storage and use of meaningful information. (No, not so. Life is the ability of a system to self-replicate and reproduce, through the use of the environment: biological and non-biological, physical, which, each in itself, and both are systemically organized) And life, as it turns out, is very successful in this. Landauer's solution to the Maxwell demon puzzle set an absolute lower limit on the amount of energy a finite memory computing system requires, namely the energy cost of forgetting. (Well, what does it have to do with it?) Today's best computers are incomparably more wasteful: they typically consume and dissipate a million times more energy. (“I started for health, but ended for peace.” And what does “dissipation of energy” have to do with it ?! - don’t drag the second law of thermodynamics here by the ears, it’s a fiction itself and dragging this fiction here will only discredit this article more strongly)However, as Wolpert says, "by the most conservative estimates, the thermodynamic efficiency of the overall computational process performed by the cell is only about 10 times higher than the Landauer limit." (It is known that natural biological systems are many times, not 10 times, superior in energy efficiency to computational processors created by the human mind.)
The implication is that “natural selection is eminently concerned with minimizing the thermodynamic cost of computation. He will do his best to reduce the total number of computations that the cell has to perform. " (She, that has her own brains and consciousness, are you talking about the author?)In other words, biology (with the possible exception of ourselves) seems to be taking proactive steps to avoid bothering with survival. This question of the costs and benefits of calculating an organism's own path through life, he says, has so far largely been ignored in biology. (What a meaningful mercantilism in biology - living organisms are not pragmatic and do not play on the stock exchange with the stocks of their lives. Why is this stock exchange jargon here?)

Inanimate Darwinism

Thus, living organisms can be viewed as objects that adapt to their environment with the help of information, absorbing energy and thereby deviating from equilibrium. (Actually, living organisms, like crocodiles, lie to themselves calm and wait for a very long time, "without deviating from balance", when some "biological system" floats past to eat it, if in the teeth)Of course, this is a very important statement. (Really?) But notice that it says nothing about genes and evolution, on which many biologists, including Mayer, have assumed biological intentions and goals depend. (Have noticed!)
How far can such an idea take us? Genes polished (by whom?) Through natural selection are undoubtedly central to biology. (And the habitat, and the social systems of biological organisms, starting with colonies of protozoa, and ending with states ...)But could it be that evolution by natural selection is itself only a special case of a more general imperative with respect to function and apparent purpose that exists in a purely physical universe? Everything starts to look like this. (An interesting premise! But why the universe is personified only with a physical - a material entity. But what about the same biological entity - the universe, metaphysical - mathematical, systemic - structural. These entities objectively exist and they cannot be thrown out of the sphere of our systemic meaningful being, intelligent worldview)
Adaptation has long been viewed as a hallmark of Darwinian evolution. (For example, in humans, the endocrine system, with its various centers in the human body, serves as an integral system of adaptation to the environment, allowing his body, if he is healthy, to safely adapt to the animal, social and metaphysical environment of each person. This is at the biological level. But for the human spiritual personality, first of all, the most important function is played by the human brain. This is the function of his mind, knowledge and consciousness. The functioning brain of a normal person allows an adequate, intelligent response to external stimuli.)Meanwhile, Jeremy England of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology argues that adaptation to the environment can occur even in complex nonliving systems. (Naturally, mathematical laws, in essence metaphysical, of the material world of physics operate here)
Adaptation has a more concrete meaning here than the usual Darwinian view of the organism as being well-equipped for survival. (But they are not absolute, because in extreme situations the body may not survive) There is one catch in Darwinian theory: we only have the ability to define a well-adapted organism in hindsight. The "strongest" are those that are better adapted to survive and reproduce, but we cannot predict what a given fitness requires. Whales and plankton are well adapted to marine life, but in such a way that there is hardly anything clearly in common between them. (The quintessence of Charles Darwin's theory - "the fittest survives" is absolute nonsense !!! Newly born cubs survive in the herd, since the herd protects them from the attacks of predators. The social version of this principle of super individualism in society developed in Europe in the theory of race inequality and nations, expressed in the policy of racial and national genocide with the physical extermination of "inferior ..." Here the main thing is who established their value.)
England's proposed definition of "adaptation" is closer to the definition of Schrödinger and, in fact, Maxwell's: a well-adapted object (what is this ?!) can efficiently absorb energy (How? How?)from an unpredictable, changing environment - like a man who is able to stand on his feet during a ship's roll, when everyone else falls, because he is better adapted to the vibrations of the deck. (What is this for here?)Using the concepts and methods of statistical mechanics in a non-equilibrium setting, England and his colleagues argue that these well-adapted systems (What are "well adapted systems" ?! Physical systems are built according to the laws of mathematics - they have a clearly defined metaphysical expression and cannot have anything else in essence. But biological systems, human society, has another expression, determined by moral taboos - the religion of a given society )they absorb and dissipate the energy of the environment, generating entropy in the process. (What does entropy have to do with it again?
Complex systems tend to (on what this "tendency" is based, or rather, it is conditioned by the laws of physics)coming to these well-adjusted states with surprising ease, says England: "Thermally vibrating matter can often spontaneously collapse into shapes that absorb work well from a time-changing environment." (And all this is according to the laws of physics. By the way, this England understands what form is, in itself, in its essence? As I see it - no!)
Nothing in this process involves gradual adaptation to the environment through Darwinian mechanisms of reproduction, mutation, and inheritance of traits. There is no replication at all. “That is, when we give a physical account of the origin of some apparently adapted structures (so structures are no longer quite physical matter in their essence, since there are not material, linear expressions of being - but described by qualitative cyclical mathematics that determines feedback in systems, i.e. not ordinary - quantitative mathematics) we see that they do not have to have parents in the usual biological sense (so is it physics? or biology? If the latter, then the parent should be)- and these findings seem incredibly exciting, says England. "Evolutionary adaptation can be explained in terms of thermodynamics even in those curious cases when there are no self-replicators and Darwinian logic falls apart." (And there are no "self-replicators" in any system, only when systems interact, their multiplication is possible on the basis of the matrix of one of these systems, if they are organically close. Otherwise, only on the basis of the matrix of the absorbing system) If, of course, the system in question is complex, flexible and sensitive enough to react to changes in the environment. (The environment is secondary if the system is stable and adapted to its environment)
However, there is no conflict between physical and Darwinian adaptation. In fact, the latter can be regarded as a special case of the former. (Well, hello! I just want to exclaim: "Genossen, the social class international theory of scientific communism is dead, long live racist social Darwinism! Physicists have found confirmation of this in the theory of entropy of the evolution of the universe. Hail!") If replication is present, then natural selection becomes the route by which systems acquire the ability to absorb work - the negative Schrödinger entropy - from the environment. The mechanism of self-reproduction, in fact, is especially good for stabilizing complex systems, and therefore it is not surprising that it is precisely this mechanism that biology uses. But in a non-living world where replication usually doesn't happen (in the material world, all systems are eternal, because they are mathematical, determined by the unshakable laws of nature. In the world of biological systems, other laws operate, described by qualitative mathematics, taking into account nonlinearity - the systemic cyclicity of biological processes)Well-adapted dissipative structures are generally highly organized structures such as undulating sand layers and dunes crystallizing from the occasional dance of sand and wind. From this point of view, Darwinian evolution can be perceived as a concrete example of a more general physical principle that regulates nonequilibrium systems. (A circle is an equilibrium system and both physical and biological balanced systems are built on its principle. Although in essence it is the circle itself, an infinite system from the point of view of mathematics, because its description includes an infinite, irrational number "Pi")

Forecasting mechanisms

This understanding of complex structures adapting to a changing environment also allows us to draw some conclusions about how these structures store information. (Naturally, all systems are built on eternal, because metaphysical, mathematical matrices) In short, since such structures - alive or not - are forced to (False premise! Who "compels" them? Why such a teleological definition. The physical laws of nature are at work!)efficiently use available energy, they are likely to become "forecasting mechanisms". (What? Processes - yes. Statistics of empiricism will allow you to find patterns of physical processes, and not only, and, therefore, make a forecast.)
The fact that biological systems change their state in response to some kind of control signal from the external environment is perhaps the main characteristic feature of life. (Not necessarily! And not always biological systems can "change their state" for objective reasons, because the signal can be impracticable, that is, lead to self-destruction of the signal recipient's system. Or - it can be simply incommensurate with the given system) Something happens - you answer it. Plants are drawn to light or produce toxins in response to pathogens. (Why only toxins? Oxygen, for example, is produced - so important for humans, but lethal for some biological systems)These environmental signals are usually unpredictable, but living systems learn from their own experience, collecting information about their environment and using it in order to build their behavior in the future. (This is only true for humans and higher life forms on earth)(Genes, in this view, simply give you (the body) the most basic, general-purpose elements needed.)
True, this forecast is not something auxiliary. According to research by Susanne Still of the University of Hawaii, Gavin Crooks, a former employee of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, California, and their colleagues, the ability to predict the future seems to be fundamental to any energy-efficient system in a random changeable environment. (Any social scientist who has a sufficient amount of knowledge and information about current events and who understands the direction of their development has the ability to predict the future)
Still and her colleagues show that there is a thermodynamic cost to store information about the past that is not valuable for predicting the future. (What is this for here? Undoubtedly the quintessence of the indicator of the civilization of any society, starting with the state, is the power supply of its members for each person and the ability to constructively systematize this energy for the benefit of the quantitative development of a given society, preserving its stability and without losing its fundamental roots, expressed in stable cultural values \u200b\u200bof this society)To be as effective as possible, the system must be selective. If she memorizes everything indiscriminately, she will suffer great energy losses. (Pragmatism, of course, is a necessary thing, but it is still determined by moral foundations in this case, which are primary for an intelligent person in any society)On the other hand, if she does not take the trouble of storing at least some information about her environment at all, she will have to make a lot of effort all the time in order to cope with the unexpected. (Naturally. For this, mankind is accumulating knowledge gained empirically) “A thermodynamically optimal mechanism should balance memory and prediction by minimizing nostalgia — useless information about the past,” says co-author David Sivak, currently at Simon Fraser University in Barnaby, British Columbia. (And who will define this "useless information about the past", maybe this mister Sivak. Thank you. Don't. Let him even represent several more universities. The usefulness of the stored information is always determined individually by seekers of knowledge and Truth, visitors to libraries, archives and other information institutions. character.) In short, he must learn to accumulate meaningful information - the one that is most likely to be useful for future survival. (Yes, only GOD has meaningful information, or if you prefer, NOOC)
One might expect that natural selection favors energy efficient organisms. But even individual biomolecular devices, such as pumps and motors in our cells, must learn from the past in some important way in order to anticipate the future. (They simply adapt to the environment. For this, the body has organs with appropriate adjustment functions - the endocrine system, and organelles, even at the cellular level)Still, to achieve their remarkable effectiveness, these devices must "implicitly construct a rich understanding of the phenomena that they have encountered until then, which would allow them to predict future events." (Again it was brought up to "smart cells". Not even funny, but - sad. Still, like, a scientist)

Thermodynamics of death

Even if some of these basic features of information processing by living systems, in the absence of evolution or replication, are already due to nonequilibrium thermodynamics (what does this have to do with it?), it can be assumed that more complex traits - say, the use of tools or social cooperation - must be provided by evolution.
But you shouldn't count on that either. These behaviors, which are generally considered the exclusive domain of highly evolved primates and birds, can be simulated using a simple model of interacting particles. (Well, you can't interfere with God's gift - with scrambled eggs!)... Cunning (that's right, "trick"!) is that the system is controlled by a constraint: it acts in such a way that it maximizes the amount of entropy (in this case, determined taking into account the various possible paths along which the particles could move)that generates for a given period of time. (Any objective system is built on mathematics and is governed by mathematical laws - which are a formalized physical law! In any system, the movement of its constituent entities is strictly predetermined by physical laws and is carried out only on their basis. Any Brownian particle strictly observes Newton's laws - the movement of bodies under the influence exerted on its power - energy. These particles have no own thinking or will, and cannot be, by definition, in material, non-biological, inert bodies.)
Entropy maximization has long been considered a feature of nonequilibrium systems. (This is not a subjective phenomenon, a change in the structure of the system, but an objective process that takes place under an energetic influence on a given system from the outside by another system.)But the system in this model obeys a rule that allows it to push entropy to the limit over a fixed time window that stretches into the future. (How is it not a living system that brings its entropy in a certain period of time by itself? This is something from the world of unscientific fairy tales) In other words, she is able to predict. (Wow. With what signs does this person express her predictions: informs us on the radio, or just shouts, or draws pictures of the future? In essence, the model takes into account all possible paths of particles and forces them to follow the path that produces the most entropy. Roughly speaking, this is a kind of path that keeps open the largest number of possibilities for particle movement in the future. (I would like to read here who and how does all this directly in the system? What is his name? Otherwise, it’s too abstract and there’s nothing about it ...)
You could say that the particle system has a kind of desire (it's good that not sex drive!)preserve freedom of action in the future (Would explain what "freedom of action in the future" is for a given system? And just like that, freedom does not exist - otherwise only chaos! Freedom can only be concrete from something. Freedom itself does not exist - in the very sense of the word the paradigm of independence from something is concluded - meaning freedom), and that this urge at any moment directs her behavior. (I wonder what hand does this direction of behavior do, because of its aspiration?)The researchers who developed this model - Alexander Wissner-Gross of Harvard University and Cameron Freer of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - call it "causal entropic force." (Wow, how interesting, because in translation it means something like this: "causal entropic force", that is, the initial conditioning on the chaotization of the system as such. But, this contradicts Newton's first law, which says that if no external force acts on the body, then it remains at rest - it does not decompose. And vice versa. But, there are no closed, completely alienated systems alienated from the external world. This means that all systems are subject to some kind of external influence and retain their stability, conditioned mathematically, by means of permanent self-efficacy, according to the laws of nature)... In computer simulations of the configurations of disk-shaped particles moving in circles under certain conditions, this force produces results that are eerily suggestive of intelligence. (There are metaphysical laws of mathematics, both quantitative and qualitative. I got very interesting results on the computer - fantastic. I understood that NOOS is reality. God is!)
In one case, the large disc was able to "use" the small disc to remove the second small disc from the narrow tube — a process that was similar to using a tool. Freeing the disk increased the entropy of the system. In another example, two disks in separate bays synchronized their behavior to lower the larger disk down so that they could interact with it, thereby creating the appearance of social cooperation. (The mathematical laws of NOOS are universal. Look at my work TRIALECTICS - a new philosophical system, see the link here: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/DZsb/ctG1PDG3H
)

Of course, these simple interacting agents get a lucrative glimpse into the future. (It would be interesting to know what the author understands by the future?)Life, as a rule, does not have it. (Why? Life replicates itself in systems) Then what does this have to do with biology? The answer is not clear, although Wissner-Gross says that he is currently working to create a "practical biologically plausible mechanism of causal entropic forces." At the same time, he believes that such an approach provides additional, useful in practice opportunities, offering quick access to artificial intelligence. (Gentlemen, you do not know what intelligence is, but already talking about artificial intelligence - be more modest) “I predict that a shorter path to achieving it is to first detect this behavior and then work in the opposite direction, starting from physical principles and constraints, instead of working on the basis of specific methods of calculation or prediction.” he claims. In other words, first find a system that does what you want it to do, and then figure out how it does it. (Well, what nonsense. Human intelligence, and the other is unknown, operates with knowledge, moral attitudes, information and empiricism. Try to systematize all this, maybe get closer to what intelligence is in essence. A mechanistic, purely material approach is not at all the same way to cognition of intellect, but to creating a more perfect machine for faster counting, with less energy consumption.)
Aging is also traditionally viewed as an evolutionary trait. Organisms have a lifespan that creates opportunities for reproduction, and at the same time, as they say, the prospects for the survival of offspring are not impeded by parents who are too looming nearby and compete for resources. (Parents, this is the main initial social cell that forms human morality, without which any child would turn into a cattle)... It really seems to be true (This is nonsense !!!, which does not need to be reinforced with this statement)However, Hildegard Meyer-Ortmanns, a physicist at Jacobs University in Bremen, Germany, believes that, ultimately, aging is a physical, not a biological, process governed by the thermodynamics of information. (Thermodynamics of information ?! - funny. Here one could think of something more abruptly to create the desired effect for the uninitiated)
Of course, the issue is not just about wear. “Most of the soft material we are made of is renewed before it can age,” says Meyer-Ortmanns. But this renewal process is not perfect. The thermodynamics of information copying requires that there is a balance between precision and energy. The body has finite energy resources, therefore, over time, errors will necessarily accumulate. Then the body is forced to spend more and more energy in order to correct these mistakes. The upgrade process produces copies that are too corrupted to function properly, followed by death.
The empirical evidence seems to support this. (It doesn't seem like it is) It has long been known that cultured human cells are likely to be able to reproduce no more than 40-60 times (the so-called Hayflick limit) before this process stops and aging begins. And recent studies of human life expectancy suggest that there is an underlying reason for the fact that most people cannot survive a century. (The heroes of the Bible lived for a thousand years. Apparently the reason is how the time was counted)
There is a natural consequence of the fact that this apparent desire for energy efficient organized predictive systems (what?) Arises in a fluid nonequilibrium environment. We ourselves are such systems, like all our ancestors up to the first primitive cell. (Unlike us, cells did not think and did not regulate their behavior with volitional morally determined actions) And nonequilibrium thermodynamics seems to tell us that this is exactly what matter does under these circumstances. (... according to the laws of physics!) In other words, the emergence of life on a planet like planet Earth at an early stage of existence, with its many sources of energy such as sunlight and volcanic activity, which continue to maintain an imbalance, begins to seem no longer an extremely unlikely event, as many scientists believe, but practically inevitable. (Naturally!) In 2006, Eric Smith and the late Harold Morowitz of the Santa Fe Institute argued that the thermodynamics of nonequilibrium systems makes organized complex systems much more likely to arise under prebiotic conditions on Earth, far from equilibrium. than it would be if the original chemical ingredients just sat and boiled quietly in a "warm little pond" (as Charles Darwin put it).
A decade after the announcement was first made, researchers have added details and deeper insights into the phenomenon. The qualities that Ernst Mayr considered fundamental to biology - meaning and intention - could arise as a natural consequence of statistics and thermodynamics. And these general properties can, in turn, naturally lead to some semblance of life. (I repeat once again - life is much cooler and more systemically multidimensional than material linear reality.)
At the same time, astronomers show us how many worlds revolve around other stars in our Galaxy: according to some estimates, they are in the billions. Many of them are far from equilibrium, and at least some are similar to Earth. And there, of course, the same rules apply. (And the laws of the Universal mind, as Pythagoras said!)
