History

Q1: Martian; "What is the difference between the Humans and the Animals?"

A)................ History.

Simply put humans are animals but with history, No other animal on earth has history. So what is history?

History; is the understanding and registration of events throughout a specific period of time. To understand history we need to record the events in a logical progression. One event doesn't make history. So we must have series of events, I mean one event leads to another depending on logical order like, cause and effect.

History was the first thing that distinguished humans from animals, and it was combined with fear. Like I explained before; humans have a logical fear dependant on logical understanding and animals have fears dependent on instinct.

The recorded history of humanity started with drawn pictures on the walls of the caves where humans lived thousands of years ago, that was the first registered history of human beings on planet earth.

I don’t mean time when I mentioned history. History is the registration of events but time is the measurement of a specific period between 2 events, for example; the year on earth is measurement of the interval in changing earth position in the universe and that measurement is rational. That mean time is different in different places, the year on Mars not the same year on Earth. Time have same effect on all creatures on Earth (animals and plants) animals feel the change in time on earth like the difference between the day and the night or the season of the year and that didn’t make the animals into intellectual creatures like humans, because animals don’t have logical understanding of fear and history!

History is the sequence of events that are composed in some logical order, for example; some one took poison and died after so many days, that is someone's history, our understanding of that example depends on many questions like;
Who is someone?
What is the poison?
Why he took poison?
Did the poison kill him?
These questions and the answers compose all our knowledge, so history is a big part of our knowledge.

History helped humanity to be what it is now! Without history we will be like any other animal on Earth! We will be like mice but with big ears (my girlfriend calls me mouse ears) and we will be hunting with small cheese! Mice haven't got history so we can catch them by the same methods used for hundreds of years, the same for fishes also, we catch fish with hooks and nets for thousands of years by now and the mice and fish didn't learn (until this very day) to avoid our traps, hooks and nets!

With new technology, there are many attempts to make artificial intelligence with PCs and robots, but until now these attempts haven't been successful in simulating human intelligence!

That has raised questions about the failure and that will push us forward to think deeply about the matter. I think that to simulate human intelligence with PCs we need to provide PCs with feelings, and history. Feelings of fear are what we need! It's true that PCs have time built into its processors and it's necessary for the PC to work, but it is just a device for measuring the time of data processing that's all.
