data

Last night, in my dreams, I saw my late father. He found me in the woods, and as I ran to hug him, we shared a moment of deep connection. We talked about where he would go next, but there was no clear answer. Tears flowed, and we held each other tightly. Though I was sad and didn’t want him to leave, even in my subconscious, I understood he had to. His comforting words were, “At least I’m here now.”

I truly believe we were there—in that brief moment, our subconscious energies connected to a higher source, allowing my dad to see me as the grown person I’ve become. It made me wonder: isn’t everything connected?

Just like a computer plugs into a power outlet and energy flows, we too are all intertwined. The warmth of our love can be felt like a hug, even deep within our subconscious.

Consider AI for a moment. Data centers powered by electricity process vast amounts of information, and as billions of people interact with AI, the technology learns and grows faster than ever before. We are witnessing computers absorb human interaction at unprecedented speeds, edging closer to what some call Super Intelligence.

So why don’t we view our own human energy in the same light? The more energy—positive or negative—that we emit, the greater our collective influence on humanity and the world around us. Because energy can neither be created nor destroyed, I believe that when our physical bodies fade, the energy within us doesn’t vanish. It simply transforms. But where does it go? Perhaps it’s always here, waiting to be channeled. Maybe pieces of another person’s energy stay with us, embedded deep within our subconscious, allowing us to connect across time and space.

Why should the idea of my dad visiting me in my subconscious be dismissed as false? In reality, he was here once. Isn’t it possible his energy never truly left?

We live in a time clouded by technology, where computers often think for us, dulling our feelings and disconnecting us from our souls. Yet, emotions like love, hate, sadness, and joy remain incredibly powerful—more than we realize. We’re simply underutilizing that power.

So next time you’re with someone you love, hold them close. Take in every sight, sound, and scent that surrounds them. In that moment, you’ll catch a glimpse of the incredible energy we all share—a connection to each other and to something greater, all flowing from the same source.

Big Data. What exactly is “BIG” about data? Isn’t data…..Data? You complete a story and save it into a publishing program on your hard drive. That is one file, one collective piece of data, written by you and before network connectivity, for your eyes and whom you’d want to share it with. Each word in that essay is a part of one file.

BIG data, takes each word from that essay, each phrase, location of the file, location where it was written, font choices and colors, and now that picture is worth more than 1000 words.

Big data, takes those thousand words and ties them to one million companies. The one million companies uses every part of every piece of information to predict what you will do next. Every piece of that data predicts what and how you move.

But the system, an intelligent system, is flawed. The data system collects your instincts and assists in the analysis of you as a consumer, citizen, and even…convict.

There is a system called PES, implemented by 33 states judicial systems with similar systems operating in others, that is designed to analyze convict behavior by data collected from their arrests and incidences within the legal system. They say this system can help to better assess risk factors amongst those pre-trial individuals to assist the judges on their decisions toward that individual.

In essence, it is a prisoner tracker that simply takes in data sets of each arrest and stores it in the system to be analyzed and given a rating. In thought and ability, it is a system built to collect and analyze the information. But in actuality it too is imperfect and dangerous.

A system like PES can analyze the data, but what happens when the reasons for that data are from human character flaws that can’t be assessed and factored in. What happens when, a city arrests far higher minor infractions and therefore the data is that that city is far more dangerous. What if the arrests happened at a far higher rate for African Americans, than Caucasian individuals in that city because of racist police officers within the department? What if they were higher because the amount of homeless people on the streets was higher for minorities than whites in another town? Yet, all of these arrests would be part of a snapshot of another citizens right analyzed as a hole but with heavy human character flaws that can’t be recorded and analyzed with this data set. Can you see how the system itself would be dangerous to those within the cities and towns that deal with human to human racism at a high rate? How these data sets would skew the entire understanding of a race. Do you understand that today these systems are using prisoner data to decide on the future of a US citizen? When we are no longer human, we can’t see the world through unskewed eyes.
