Mixed signals




I think I just accidentally skipped an episode on the DVD. I went from "Day of the Robot" and them to "Doomsday, and Counting" and I skipped "Little Orphan Airplane."

I didn't want to stop at all and I wanted to watch as many episodes as possible without stopping because stopping to make these observations takes up a lot of time.

The "Doomsday, and Counting" episode of "The Six Million Dollar Man," I was thinking as I watched it, and listened to the dialog, about developing atomic powered spaceships to go to the planet Mars, from the Soviet Union military officer, who is very cozy with the astronaut "Steve Austin," is about the homosexual butt faggots such as George Herbert Walker Bush and George Walker Bush who infest the United States and who have transferred military information of the United States of America to foreign power.

Colonel Steve Austin: You alright?

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: That girder. How did you do that?

Colonel Steve Austin: Well, sometimes that potato vodka does more for you than just give you a headache. You alright?

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: That - that girder weighs hundreds of pounds. For years, we have trusted each other. With our thoughts, our lives. Yes? You have just saved my life. I'm grateful. But I must know how.

Colonel Steve Austin: That's a military secret.

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: Steve. Steve. I am your friend. Your secret is safe.

Colonel Steve Austin: Alright. I was testing a new re-entry vehicle when the trim blew. Next thing I knew, they were telling me I'd be as good as before. Better than before. With the new scientific improvements they were going to give me.

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: Improvements?

Colonel Steve Austin: Electronic. Mechanical.

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: These - these improvements were they - were they bionic?

Colonel Steve Austin: [ emphatically nods affirmative ]

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: Our scientists have been conducting experiments for years with bionics. They have gotten nowhere. Steve - Steve, with your strength, we can go underground now and rescue Irina.

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: Steve, I - I am sorry I got you into this.

Colonel Steve Austin: Well, I had nothing else to do.

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: We're trapped, you know that?

Colonel Steve Austin: Well, it may look like it, but -

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: It is hopeless and you know it.

Colonel Steve Austin: What happened to you and your enthusiasm?

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: I've used it all up. Irina is trapped down here. Somewhere she is alive, I hope to God. Injured. What do we do if we find her? We wait until Koslenko digs us out? He doesn't care. He has no interest in Mars. He just wants to simply dismantle that reactor and take it back to Russia with him.

Colonel Steve Austin: Look, Koslenko is gonna to break his back to dig us out of here.

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: No, no. Why should he?

Colonel Steve Austin: Because I'll have him doing guard duty in Siberia for the rest of his life if I don't walk out of here alive. That's why.

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: You're probably right.

General Koslenko: You've exceeded your authorities, Zhukov.

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: I meant no disrespect, sir.

General Koslenko: Because of your interference, I've been ordered not to dismantle the reactor.

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: If we could get Americans to agree to be our partners there would be no need for further dismantling. I've already talked to one of their astronauts. He assures me their government is very interested.

General Koslenko: If it hadn't been for the pressure exerted by your cosmonaut friends in Moscow I wouldn't have been ordered to sign this travel order. I'm not deceived. It's the last interference I will tolerate from you.

Detection theory


Detection theory, or signal detection theory, is a means to quantify the ability to discern between information-bearing energy patterns (called stimulus in humans, signal in machines) and random energy patterns that distract from the information (called noise, consisting of background stimuli and random activity of the detection machine and of the nervous system of the operator).

According to the theory, there are a number of determiners of how a detecting system will detect a signal, and where its threshold levels will be. The theory can explain how changing the threshold will affect the ability to discern, often exposing how adapted the system is to the task, purpose or goal at which it is aimed.

When the detecting system is a human being, experience, expectations, physiological state (e.g. fatigue) and other factors can affect the threshold applied.


Psychology

Signal detection theory (SDT) is used when psychologists want to measure the way we make decisions under conditions of uncertainty, such as how we would perceive distances in foggy conditions. SDT assumes that the decision maker is not a passive receiver of information, but an active decision-maker who makes difficult perceptual judgements under conditions of uncertainty. In foggy circumstances, we are forced to decide how far away from us an object is, based solely upon visual stimulus which is impaired by the fog. Since the brightness of the object, such as a traffic light, is used by the brain to discriminate the distance of an object, and the fog reduces the brightness of objects, we perceive the object to be much farther away than it actually is (see also decision theory).

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: Irina? Irina, are you alright?

Irina Leonova: Vasily. Oh, Vasily.

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: It's alright.

Irina Leonova: Who is he?

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: This is - this is Steve Austin. My friend from America. The astronaut.

Irina Leonova: What is he doing here?

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: He came with me to inspect the quake damage.

Irina Leonova: But down here?

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: Irina, if it was not for him, we would not have gotten down here. We have nothing to hide from him.

Irina Leonova: The computer.

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: What?

Irina Leonova: I've got to get to the computer before there are any more tremors.

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: Why?

Irina Leonova: The army installed a nuclear weapon as a failsafe way of destroying the island if it were attacked by the enemy. It's still there, Vasily. Controlled by the computer. The computer is so sensitive that it could react to the earthquake as if the island were being bombed by the enemy. When that happens, sensors are activated in all the corridors and tunnels. And if anyone trips those sensors the nuclear weapon is detonated.

Colonel Steve Austin: We better get to that computer right away.

Irina Leonova: Vasily, what happened to your leg?

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: It's nothing. During the last tremor.

Irina Leonova: Oh, my God.

Colonel Vasily Zuchov: What is it?

Irina Leonova: That's the warning light. The computer has already set off the detonating sequence.

Colonel Steve Austin: Fred? Thank God you're alright.

Major Frederick Sloan: Steve Austin.

Colonel Steve Austin: Sure glad to see you, pal. You alright?

Major Frederick Sloan: Yeah, I'm alright. I - I just seem to have lost track of time. Woke up in some strange place with a headache, and, uh - I've been wandering around for I don't know how long. All I can remember is I got a date to play a game of tennis with somebody.

Colonel Steve Austin: You did. It was with me.

Major Frederick Sloan: That's good. I'd sure hate to cancel out a tennis game with you.

The American Presidency Project

Ronald Reagan

XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989

Radio Address to the Nation on Armed Forces Day and Defense Spending

May 18, 1985

My fellow Americans:

Not too long ago one of our Ambassadors visited an American armored cavalry regiment stationed on the NATO line in Germany. As he returned to his helicopter, he was followed by a young 19-year-old trooper. The trooper asked him if he could get a message to the President. Well, the Ambassador said that sometimes getting messages to the President was part of his job. And the young trooper then said, "Will you tell him we're proud to be here, and we ain't scared of nothin."

Well, not long ago the Ambassador was in Washington and told me the sequel to that incident. I'd repeated a story in a talk that was carried on our Voice of America radio program, and there in that base in Germany the young trooper heard the broadcast and knew that I'd received his message. His commanding officer said that he ran down the company street yelling: "The system works! The system works!"

Well, the system does work, but not just because Ambassadors can get messages from a 19-year-old trooper to the President. Our system—this way of life we call democracy and freedom—really works because of the dedicated Americans like that GI in Germany, who've always been willing to defend our way of life from foreign aggressors—from those who do not love freedom and seek to destroy it.
