Richard Dawkinson’s The Selfish Gene argues for the selfishness of genes, but the evolutionary process of genes shows that integration is a more appropriate interpretation. The integration of genes can better explain natural selection and the cooperative behavior of living things. In his book The Selfish Gene, world-renowned scientist and author Richard Dawkinson presents a new...
VR games are centered around sight and sound, and are currently limited in their spatial and sensory representation. BCI technology can overcome this limitation by using brain waves to allow the brain to manipulate the computer. The convergence of BCI technology and VR is expected to further improve the sense of realism and convenience. Recently, VR games have been rapidly commercialized...
Advances in biotechnology can provide medical, social, and personal benefits through gene therapy and genetically modified foods. There are also ethical controversies, but advances in technology offer the possibility of resolving them. A long time ago in South Korea, in 2009, a female contestant’s comments on a program called “Beauty Talk” on KBS caused a stir. While the...
Fifteen years after the introduction of law schools in South Korea, the non-disclosure of bar exam scores has contributed to job market opacity and academic-based hiring. We discuss whether disclosure of bar exam scores can restore fairness and promote the development of law schools. It has been 15 years since the introduction of law schools. This year, the 14th class of graduates entered...
We discuss the possibility that humans are simulating the universe, and explore the possibility that we are actually living in a simulation through five hypotheses. We can’t experience the universe as it really is, unfiltered and real. Science has been constantly advancing to answer many philosophical questions, such as ‘what is a human being and what is the world we live...
Genetic selection can deprive children of self-exploration, reinforce feelings of inferiority, create unhealthy competition in society, and undermine human dignity. It should not be allowed. It is everyone’s desire to see their loved ones stay healthy and free of illness. It is also natural to add some expectations to this wish, especially if they are children. The pace of...
Seth Lloyd presents a computational cosmology perspective, in which the universe is understood as a quantum computer. He argues that the universe is a sophisticated device that processes information according to the laws of quantum mechanics. This view can efficiently explain the complexity and order of the universe and offers a new paradigm. ‘In the beginning there were bits.’...
Male engineering students are at a crossroads between joining the military and choosing an alternative service. This article explains the necessity of the military and the realities of alternatives, and argues that military service can be an opportunity for growth and self-management, rather than something to be avoided. As a male engineering student at a Korean university, one of the...
Why do GMO products cost less? What do consumers need to know about the GMO controversy? Rethink your food choices based on information about the safety and labeling of GMOs. I’ve been living independently for five years and go to the market two to three times a week. My grocery list ranges from food items such as vegetables, fruits, and meat to daily necessities such as shampoo...
In the 21st century, science and technology have had positive impacts, such as increasing food production, revolutionizing transportation, and improving access to information. But there are also negative impacts, such as environmental pollution, privacy breaches, and weapons development. Let’s discuss the value neutrality of science and technology and emphasize the social...
