Producing a better secure electoral voting system

Image
Here is the complete procedure to make a secure voting system. We require a unique key for every voter. The unique key is generated by using: 1) Public Key: Voter Id or Adhaar Number 2) Private key: A random key (6-8 character alphanumeric key) from mind, at the time of voting 3) Vote symbol A read-only machine generates a unique key using the cryptographic function on the public key, private key and vote symbol. Then ballot paper is printed from the machine that has the unique key. The voter casts its vote in the ballot paper. The votes in ballot paper are counted using a machine and also the scan of the ballot paper is uploaded on the website after results are declared. Machine learning has become so powerful that it can count the vote without any error. When the result is declared the public can check whether that ballot paper (that has the unique key) exists on the website with the correct voting symbol. The voter can authenticate that his/her vote has been

Why we face difficulty to remember non-concrete information?

What are the functions of a brain? Pattern recognition, interpretation and storing of information that we get from our sense organs I would go with following steps to show that non-concrete information is the type of information that our brain is not trained for. The most requirement to remember abstract information is more recent when mathematics and different languages were invented. The invention of writing that allowed storing information that we can't remember. The human being invented abstract information like more than one language or mathematics which we are evolutionarily unfit to remember. Are we evolutionary unfit to memorize abstract information? To prove it lets look the following experiment. The brain is good at recognizing things in a span of seconds. For example, we change our path if there is a hindrance in front. But if you close your eyes, we will miss details of the hindrance. Let's try to memorize this map in a span of se

How to analyze news and what shall be the criteria? Are the information provided backed by the evidence? Do they site down the evidence in the news? Do evidence are from reliable sources with rigorous testing? Does the news show one-sided or biased views without looking at all angles? Is the information provided is an opinion/belief/viewpoint or hypothesis or scientific theory? Opinion: a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge . Does the hypothesis/claim is well tested and is statistically significant to draw the conclusion? Alternate and Null Hypothesis Is media promoting pseudoscience? Does the discussion done come under any of the logical fallacy or cognitive biases?
