We are used to believing that the main function of the brain is thinking. We often hear that "we need brains in order to thin..." For all that, the idea that "the reality we observe is the product of our brain and depends on our thinking" has been very popular lately. Is it the truth? Man is the only creature with a developed brain.
Throughout time people have tried to grasp the reality, to make all pieces fall into the right place and comprehend it by asking themselves questions. After all, when there is a question, there is a chance to find an answer. When there is no question, there is no chance to find an answer either. Even nowadays, our logic and reason MAKE UP THEIR ASSERTIONS, starting from axioms – the truths taken for granted, because of their "obviousness".
The collapse of the thinking foundation means that Man is locked in the closet of everyday realities. This can be compared to the Newton physics. It's perfect for the pressing matters. The calculations that build bridges, create cars, and sew boots are all based on the Newton mechanics. But this mechanic, by its nature, does not allow you to go up or down to another level. It puts the limit to knowledge.
There are no problems in the world which solution could be halted due to the lack of money. Everybody does not move because of the lack of ideas. The reason is that the mind is bound by the total, elementary, eternal and obvious truths. It cannot make a step beyond the lines outlined by them, while the new is always beyond the lines of the known. Everything within the lines, at best, is an upgrade of the old truths, but not new at all.
The larger the scale of the subject being brought up and the deeper it is, the more vigorously people defend the truths they are accustomed to. Few people can bare criticism of their elementary truths. No wonder Descartes said that the main obstacle on the way to new views and knowledge is OUR ABC TRUTHS. In the things you like, you will exaggerate the pros and downplay the cons. In the things you don’t like, on the contrary, you will exaggerate the minuses, and downplay the pluses.
The political society composition within the framework of the “Development of the Brain Genotypes” program was built on the rigid psychological specialization of the particular community of people. Each community executed only the imposed on it function in the political processes within the framework of the Old Control Program and in the specifics of building social structures of the control or distribution of benefits through some form of ownership.
What is power? Where did this construction to control people come from? And why has it been used? What does it look like? And why? Imagine two companies. One company has a permanent director; the other company has a temporary director, for 4-5-6 months, the working collective through all-working elections (similar to popular elections) makes decisions. He cannot hold the director's chair for more than two terms; maximum, after 8-10-12 months the director has to leave the office. Other things being equal, the first company should be more efficient than the second one.
It is not power that spoils people, but fear. Those who have power are spoiled by the fear of losing it, and those who submit to power are spoiled by the fear of power.
Nowadays we, people, are dealing with a new reality, regarding which we have to make coordinated decisions. To make it clear what we are talking about, it is advisable to recollect some of the trivial axioms of “working with a patient”, set out in a systemic way, because these well-known axioms in the years to come may be replaced by others, which are UNACCEPTABLE for the entire community of people TODAY. Which ones? I will try to discuss the subject of people’s future from the standpoint of my understanding of the ongoing and my life experience both in politics and in psychology, and in the so-called political science, which has replaced philosophy. Therefore, the text may contain thoughts that are unusual and even unexpected for some readers, especially for those who are not yet familiar with series 369 of articles.
The current civilization is a huge canvas called “The Blind Lead the Blind”. We consider ourselves deeply civilized, highly spiritual and developed in all respects. We are proud of our achievements in the arts and sciences. But in reality we are cavemen, modernly dressed, and sprinkled with fashionable cologne. Our neighbors on the planet are our enemies. And like a prehistoric tribe, we boldly beat ourselves with our fives in the patriotic chest, brandishing a nuclear club and terrifying the enemy with the indomitable force of our fists, living in the world we have created, where funeral is more important than the deceased, where wedding is more significant than love, where appearance is more important than the mind. We live in the culture of packaging that despises content...
