Essential Reading For Coms Security and Open Source Infrastructure Efforts

Our current cellphone, wireless, and wired infrasture is insecure. And from the mistakes the industries continue to make it isn't showing many signs of getting better. One of the first steps we can take to make the current standards and implementations open. Once it's open it will become easier to see exactly what needs to be changed. Hopefully, it will also make it easier for the industries to adopt new standards by adopting one of multiple open implementations. This approach has shown promise in many countries which don't already have the infrastructure investment the US does.

Education is one of the fundamental pillars of a technologically advanced, forward thinking societies. Unfortunately, the focus on test scores has taken curriculum and teaching further away from the basic tethers to reality and the reasons for learning more abstract thought. If we are to address the problems laid out in a paper as old as I am, that our failing education system is a threat to national security, we will have to start focusing on education which starts from actual physical principles and moves toward everything considered abstract in a more concrete way. This means investing in educating teachers and ensuring they understand the principles they are teaching and how they are firmly rooted in the practical.

One of the necessary prerequisites for education is stability in one's household. If a student is so caught up in worrying if they will have food, when they'll be able to study in between doing all the household chores, watching their siblings and/or kids, or if they'll be able to make enough

Intelligence, Self-Awareness, and Sentience Reading List

Questions to think about while reading:

What qualifies as intelligence?
What qualifies as self-awareness?
What qualifies as sentience?
Can an intelligence not be sentient, but still report back that it is?
Can something be sentient, but not intelligent enough to report back that it is?
Can something be neither intelligent or sentient, but be statistically likely to compose sentences like it was trained on that fool a human into thinking it it both intelligent and sentient?
