A group of MIT researchers are developing a dream hacking device which could allow users to manipulate their dreams in order to improve their lives.
Many of us spend nearly a third of our time asleep. Of course the body needs to rest. But it also seems like lost time. So what if one could make better use of the time spent sleeping?
Now we may be able to – by tapping into our unconscious thoughts and programming what we dream about.
Research has found that dreams may contribute towards memory consolidation as well as mental and emotional health.
Scientists at MIT’s Dream Lab have the goal of taking this a step further – they want to show that dreams are access points to deeper levels of cognition, and that dreams can be manipulated for the positive purpose of improving a person’s waking life.
It’s actually not a new idea. Some of the most brilliant minds – the likes of Beethoven, Poe, John Kennedy, Dalí, Tesla and Edison all made use of a similar concept.
Their method involved getting into a comfortable position while holding a steel ball in the hand. Then, just as they were falling asleep, the ball would drop. The individual would then wake up and immediately record what had passed through their mind as they were reaching the initial dream state. It reportedly helped them greatly in coming up with new creative concepts.
Dormio, the dream hacking machine
From improving your mood to enhancing creativity and productivity, there could be many potential beneficial uses.
The device which Dream Lab have designed to do this is called the Dormio. The Dormio is optimized to be able to tap into and influence the semi-lucid sleep state, known as hypnagogia.
Hypnagogia describes the moment just before you fall completely asleep which usually comes with distorted images of space and time. Its when the logical boundaries and cognitive filters of the conscious mind become mixed with the abstract world.

The device consists of an electronic glove with sensors which can measure heart rate, skin conductance and muscle tone, as well as gauging when the user falls asleep.
At that stage, the Dormio provides an audio cue, which is supposed to return the person into a state of hypnagogia without being completely woken up. An app or bot then strikes up a conversation with the semi-conscious person and records the interchange.
It was discovered that the chosen word often becomes incorporated into the person’s lucid dreams. Aside from audio cues, the Dream Lab are also working on another stimulant – smell. And they have enjoyed success with this as well.
Technically, anyone can make a dream machine
The device is not overly complicated or expensive to make and the Dream Lab team have shared the software and hardware instructions online.
The hope is that the more people that use the Dormio, the more analysis on the results can be done.
“What’s exciting about this group is that they’re making devices that are so cheap and so easy to use at home and not very distracting from normal sleep that they enable research to be done in larger numbers and on a shoestring budget,” Harvard professor and dream researcher Deirdre Barrett, PhD, said.
“And without having to bring people into a lab, we can get better data on what naturalistically happens with dreams.

truththeory--2020-04-15--Anonymous Donor Spends $82,000 To Give $150 Gift Cards To Every Home In Small Iowa Town

An anonymous good samaritan has come up with a clever way to help local businesses stay afloat while also giving their neighbors a nice gift during this difficult time .
In the small Iowa town of Earlham , an anonymous donor contacted the town ’ s mayor , Jeff Lillie and told him that they were interested in doing something to help boost the local economy .
In their first conversation , the donor told the mayor that they planned on purchasing 100 gift cards from local businesses to be given to residents of the town .
The donor then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be willing to give away up to 500 gift cards .
Lillie told the donor that there were only 549 households in the entire town , and they decided to give a gift card to every household in the town .

When I told him there were 549 households in town , he said ‘ Done.
’ And that was it .
I was ecstatic because it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” Lillie told CNN .
Each gift card was for $ 150 , and with a total of 549 cards purchased , that is a total donation of $ 82,350 .
Three local businesses were selected , and each received about $ 27,000 .
The idea behind this effort is that struggling businesses will be able to get much-needed income now , and residents of the town can have a gift for the future when everything opens back up .
Hopefully , these funds will be used to keep the employees paid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alive .
The mayor said that he was “ completely overwhelmed ” by the gesture .
“ It came at the end of a couple really hard weeks .
I remember going home and walking through the front door , and I couldn ’ t speak for a minute .
I was just crying like a baby , and my little boy saw me and wrapped around my leg and said , ‘ Daddy what ’ s wrong ?
’ And eventually I was able to choke it out : ‘ Buddy , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s wrong . '
” Lillie said .
Any of the town ’ s residents who feel like the donation could be put to better use by another family has been encouraged to give them away or drop them off at a bill pay slot at City Hall , where they will then be distributed to needy families in the area .
Last month , Truth Theory reported that a landlord in Jonesboro , Arkansas , has promised that his company would not be collecting rent from its restaurants during the shutdown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to pay their employees .

– 50% of all plastic ever made has been produced in the last 15 years.

– Due to the additives used to make plastic more durable, it can take up to 400 years to break down.
– As many as 5.25 trillion macro and micro-plastic pieces are estimated to be floating in the ocean.
– Studies have found that 90% of seabirds contain plastic.
– There are giant plastic ‘islands’ floating in the ocean, one is recorded as being twice the size of Texas.
Using nature to fight plastic pollution
In short, we’re suffocating ourselves with plastic pollution and a long-term solution is desperately needed.
Which is why Carbios’ claims of being able to break down plastic pollution in hours could be such a game-changer.
The company’s idea is to use an enzyme that is found within composted leaves, to break down plastic.
Already they are working with global companies Pepsi and L’Oréal to try and roll out their idea on an mass scale within the next five years.
“We are the first company to bring this technology on the market,” Carbios deputy chief executive Martin Stephan told The Guardian. “Our goal is to be up and running by 2024–2025, at large industrial scale.”
Overcoming the challenges
Plastic is comprised of a multiple of different layers, each which requires different equipment or temperatures to break down.
Poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET), which used to make soda bottles, packaging and textiles, is one of the most common plastic pollutants.
But up until now, PET recycling has been inefficient. This is because when plastics of different colors are melted during recycling, a gray or black material is created, and not many companies want to use that as their starting material to create plastic products.
The basic idea for using leaf-branch compost as a means to break down plastic first came about in 2012, through researchers at Osaka University.
In order to maximise the potential behind this idea, the Carbios research team set about testing 100,000 micro-organisms, and then introducing mutations to the mix. They were able to isolate an optimized enzyme that is 10 000 times better at breaking down PET’s chemical bonds.
They claim that the new enzyme they’ve created can achieve at least 90% de-polymerization in as little as 10 hours.
And the different colors no longer matter as the enzyme is able to ignore dyes and other plastics during meltdown.
And the end result is a pristine product – a biologically de-polymerized plastic, which can reused to create items such as plastic bottles.
“It’s a real breakthrough in the recycling and manufacturing of PET,” said Dr. Saleh Jabarin, a member of Carbios’ scientific committee.
“Thanks to the innovative technology developed by Carbios, the PET industry will become truly circular. Which is the goal for all players in this industry, especially brand-owners, PET producers and our civilization as a whole.”
The cost factor
Carbios claims that the enzyme will cost only 4% of virgin plastic made from oil.
The problem is that the enzyme can only be added to waste plastic which has already been melted. So for now, it costs a little more to manufacture than virgin plastic.
But because the enzyme-recycled plastic will be as strong and as attractive as virgin plastic, it’s hoped that companies will be willing to pay a bit more.
And once there is more buy-in from the big plastic producers, the recycling infrastructure should become less expensive. It’s crucial for the planet’s future that it does become a reality as quickly as possible.

It seems that the longer the coronavirus-enforced lockdown goes on , the more we are seeing wild animals entering into our cities .
Some people may say the animals are simply reclaiming what was taken from them .
It ’ s certainly been a pleasant reminder that wild animals have been able to survive living on the periphery of our world .

On average, the Yosemite National Park attracts around 4 million visitors each year; roughly 11000 per day. Now with the coronavirus-enforced lockdown underway, emboldened animals are roaming freely.
Located in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, the world-famous Yosemite is the jewel in the crown amongst the United States’ numerous magnificent national parks.
It’s known for its biological diversity and breathtaking scenery: granite cliffs, mountains, meadows, lakes, glaciers, waterfalls and crystal clear streams.
There are also 1300 km of hiking trails and 560 km of roads. And normally at this time of year – the start of Spring in the northern hemisphere – the park would be packed with tourists.
However, Yosemite became one of the first national parks to close it’s gates during the pandemic and has been shut since March 20.
Animals captured on camera as serenity returns
From the resulting peace and quiet, some remarkable webcam footage has emerged of animals roaming peacefully around the park.
“While so much has changed for humans in recent weeks, it’s reassuring to see that nature carries on as it always has,” read a statement by the Yosemite Park.
“Spring seems to be slowly creeping into the valley, the sun finally emerging after a week or two of rain and snow.
“Waterfalls are gradually picking up momentum, and wildlife is becoming more active, perhaps enjoying having the park mostly to themselves.”
While waterfalls cascade down from snowy peaks, Coyotes calmly explore and bears roam freely. Even usually shy and elusive bobcats are popping up.
Deer are seeing grazing next to the road – which would usually be packed with tourists.

1.Our Food
It is obvious that we should eat as much natural food as possible. As soon as they are seeded our plants are corrupted by fertilizers and pesticides while most groceries contain some preservatives and additives. Factory farms use industrial methods to produce more and more meat, eggs or milk as fast as possible. These include raising large numbers of animals in enclosed spaces, often requiring special medical assistance to keep them healthy in cramped conditions. Some farms use growth hormones, artificial lighting and sophisticated machinery. Food manufacturers try to figure out different techniques in order to extend the lifespan, improve the taste and reduce the cost of their products. This is often achieved by commercialised agriculture that compromises global ecosystems. Artificially altering our food is also endangering our health and causing more sickness, threatening anobesity pandemic in many developed countries. We have reached the point where what is natural is much more expensive and more difficult to obtain than what is not.
This video perfectly expresses some of my thoughts:
2. Our Health
Our health is vital to us and we should always try to look after ourselves. Whenever we have any health problems, we should look for the most natural remedies and minimize the side effects of the treatments. However, nowadays what is natural is often the “alternative” treatment and chemical supplements are the most well-known and well promoted medications. It is harder to make money from natural treatments, it is quite difficult to patent nature. It is also important to add that pharmaceutical companies often focus on treating the symptoms and not eliminating the root causes of illnesses. The reasons for this are obvious; their priority is expanding and increasing their profits.
3. Focusing On the Exterior And Ignoring The Essence
One example of this is our obsession with physical appearance. The cult of celebrity, how our bodies look, what types of clothes we wear etc. All this pointless self-promotion has become so much more important than the true essence of who we are and whether we are living in harmony with ourselves.
We often see celebrities with amazing bodies wearing fashionable brands, but their minds are spoiled, and their attitudes are selfish, they think they are “better” than the rest, many of them can’t handle the fame and end up with psychological problems, dysfunctional families, and substance addictions.
4. Focusing On what is Meaningless and Ignoring What is Important
Today, many more people are interested in following pointless reality shows or soap operas than seeking to understand the nature of reality, or the fact that we are destroying our planet. Those really critical issues attract significantly less attention than all that meaningless trivia. For example, I came across this video on YouTube:
in which one lady is eating a chili pepper with obviously unpleasant consequences. This video has over 3m hits whereas videos like this one where kindness is promoted only get seen by a few thousand people:

Some might say that public interest in meaningful topics will be less enthusiastic because of the complexity of these subjects. However, issues like environmental degradation or world hunger or even human kindness are not difficult to understand. Most people are aware of these subjects but choose to ignore them and prefer to enjoy their favorite cat videos. I do agree that everyone should make their own decisions on what to do with their lives. However, this lack of interest in really critical issues has a negative impact on crucial aspects of our lives. Our ignorance threatens our survival on this planet.
5. Violence In Entertainment
Video games as well as movies are full of violence these days, the amount of ferocity seems to be increasing every year. A few months ago, GTA 5 was released and has become one of the most successful video games ever; as a character in this game you can kill, steal, torture and commit other barbaric acts. Many movies also contain a great deal of violence. Killing and suffering is everywhere in the entertainment industry. But do we really enjoy looking at suffering and bloodshed? Imagine someone next to you being killed. I can assure you that it would not be an entertaining experience. You would be horrified, be traumatized for many years. Most of us don’t like to see others suffering in real life; so why is the movie and gaming industry imposing all that on us? Wouldn’t it be better to see something more inspiring, inducing positive emotions?

United States president Donald Trump recently found time to sign an executive order allowing the U.S to acquire resources from the Moon , Mars and outer space .
The order is named ‘ Encouraging International Support for the Recovery and Use of Space Resources ’ .
And it seems to effectively cancel out the international ‘ Outer Space Treaty ’ which came into effect in 1967 .

” The U.S government is understood to have been considering the prospect of space mining for some time .

“ Successful long-term exploration and scientific discovery of the Moon , Mars , and other celestial bodies will require partnership with commercial entities to recover and use resources .

United States president Donald Trump recently found time to sign an executive order allowing the U.S to acquire resources from the Moon, Mars and outer space.
The order is named ‘Encouraging International Support for the Recovery and Use of Space Resources’. And it seems to effectively cancel out the international ‘Outer Space Treaty’ which came into effect in 1967.
“Americans should have the right to engage in commercial exploration, recovery, and use of resources in outer space, consistent with applicable law,” read part of a statement on the official Whitehouse website.
“Outer space is a legally and physically unique domain of human activity, and the United States does not view it as a global commons.”
‘Water and certain minerals’
The U.S government is understood to have been considering the prospect of space mining for some time. But now the process is likely to be fast-tracked as private companies and wealthy entrepreneurs come on board.
“Successful long-term exploration and scientific discovery of the Moon, Mars, and other celestial bodies will require partnership with commercial entities to recover and use resources. Including water and certain minerals, in outer space,” read another section of the White House statement.
Why does America want to claim resources in space?
One reason behind space mining is simply that the earth is running out of natural resources. Material needed in the manufacture of cell-phones, for example, is extremely rare.
And there’s also the possibility to cut out the ‘middle man’ and increase profits.
“We are currently depleting the resources we have,” Benjamin Sovacool, professor of energy policy at University of Sussex, told the BBC.
“Metals such as lithium or cobalt – which you need – are mainly in places like China, Russia or Congo. And it’s difficult to get them.”
The Moon as a halfway filling station
Another theory is that due to the Moon’s relatively close location to earth, it could serve as a launching pad for missions to other planets located further away, such as Mars.
The resources needed for rocket fuel such as hydrogen and oxygen are present on the Moon. This would negate the need for additional fuel having to be transported from earth.
