There is an endless debate on the future of humanity. From climate change to thousands of subjects that you might never heard of. But all comes down to a single unit. A unit that encloses ultimately every issue because we depend upon it to convey an action… In every state, in every city, in every home there is valuable future for generations to come and it is: character.
Character, also known as education, moral values, personality or culture is define by how we deal with current issues and transform them into a perceptible attitude for younger generations. But not only that, there is also a combination of tradition inherited by previous generations and stained by the ongoing. One of my favorite eras after the Renaissance is the late-early 1800-1900. A century that revolutionizes thinking and competition among communities and created awe with every revealed invention. History has never been pleased or prove to be better than during this epoch. But today, we face different issues that arise and influence heavily in the construction of character. And it just seems that this ‘character’ rather than projecting prosperity is going into the opposite direction. For many of these issues science has fall behind. But nevertheless, there are ways to approach issues like depression, stress or anxiety. Brain scanning is an approach. An approach the relatively pinpoints brain activity or rather, issues. Take for example the following image. An individual with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder would likely have a greater brain activity. A considerable issue that can now be confirmed thanks to this technology.

Yet, having the access to this technology is very expensive. To a point that most people do not have access to this technology. Which brings us to the next important point: how is science and technology evolving in a way that this type of technology is accessible to any household?
The title of this blog post, In the Darkest Dream of a Sleep There Is Light When the Eyes Are Open, is a metaphor that can be interpreted in many ways. And one of them is “if we know what is in the minds of the needed, we can improve their lives.” I leave you with a video that explains more about how helpful is imaging for psychiatry, and this short data analysis. A metric that stands out is suicidal records for Male in their 30-49 age. Note that ages 0-29 and 70-0 is less than or equal to 29 and more than or equal to 70 subsequently.
