What are the top 5 inventions of all time? No, the wheel is not one of them.

June 25, 2024 

Here are the Top 5 Human Inventions of All Time: 

  1. Language 
  2. God
  3. Money
  4. Science
  5. Computers
Language 

Language is the top human invention of all time because it is the master invention that facilitates all other creations and inventions. For example, the remaining 4 inventions on our list of Top 5 Human Invention of All Time depend on the invention of language.

A language is a code to convert select sensory input (sounds, signs, characters, symbols) into concepts or units of meaning. Human languages facilitate intelligence, creativity, communication, and collaboration. Intelligence and these three Cs (creativity, communication, and collaboration) set humans apart from the rest of the animal kingdom and from all other forms of life on Earth. To be sure, all life on Earth is intelligent, creative, communicative, and collaborative to some degree or level. Humans possess the most advanced degree of intelligence, creativity, communication, and collaboration on Earth. This is in great part due to the invention of language. 

Life is organic data processing. A language is a code for effective data processing. Languages codify select sensory input (sounds, characters, gestures, signs, etc.) into output that conveys meaning based on agreed upon definitions and usage conventions. 

Languages are creative inventions governed by human-invented rules such as grammar and syntax. Within those arbitrary rules for convenience, languages allow for unlimited creation. Users of human language (humans and AI) can generate a practically infinite number of utterances to create new meanings and convey all sort of messages and responses. 

Languages can transcend time and reality. Using languages, humans can create concepts that are not bound to time such as past or future events, and that are not bound to reality itself such as imaginary concepts likes deities, spirits, and supernatural forces. Humans are the only animals on Earth capable of such a feat, and it is all due in great part due to the invention of language.  

More to follow on how language facilitates the development of intelligence (problem-solving ability), creativity (transformations), communication (messaging), and collaboration (team efforts). More to follow also on the remaining four inventions (God, Money, Science, and Computers including AI) on Creatix List of Top 5 Human Inventions of All Time. By the way, the wheel is a fine invention and so is the lightbulb and so many others human inventions. Nonetheless, no invention tops these 5 (language, God, money, science, and computers).

Stay tuned. To be continued.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

Will prices go up or down during the Second Coming of Trump?

December 12, 2024 Will prices go up or down during the Second Coming of Trump? President-elect Donald Trump has acknowledged the difficulty of reducing grocery prices, stating, "It's hard to bring things down once they're up."  Lower Energy Costs and Better Logistics Trump hopes that lower energy costs and improved supply chains may prevent significant price increases on food. However, many economists believe that Trump's tariffs on foreign countries and massive deportation of illegal immigrants, which include millions of undocumented farm workers, will increase food prices.  Additionally, while Trump emphasizes the role that potentially lower energy prices may have in food costs, experts note that energy constitutes a relatively small portion of food production expenses. Energy prices may also increase despite experts forecasting that they will stay relatively low or go further down. After all, economists and financial experts are wrong often, almost all of the t...
