5/11 - Obscured Indulgence - Comment Please.

Well, It's been quite some time hasn't it? Well then. I might continue blogging, I might not, but I've been coalesced into the fundamental interaction of netiquette and so I must give at least one more blog post. Hmmmmmmmmm.

1. What to talk about?
2. What to say?
3. Are the means of communication so far dissipated that they elude the nature of my synapses?

These questions are the indoctrinations of indulgence that pervade my mind. So here's a small story that I shall leave you with so that you may ponder the anxiety that enshrouds all of us.

Ignoble Cinders of Reticence
A Desideratum of Putrefaction assimilating in the Landfills of Contemplation.
Burning desires leaving the ignoble ashes wafting in abhorrent sights.
Manifesto's reaching into the depths of introspection
A culmination of our deepest qualms revitalized in prolific junctures.

Voices, burrowed within the dismal eyes of a emaciated nomad.
Strings resonating without the ethereal cadence of tenacity.
Composure riddled with the vestiges of capricious ambiance or perturbed tendrils.
Conduits leaving voltage singing the heart with electrocution, leaving judicial persecution.

Yet, so vast and untapped. The wells of the mind, siphoned from the cap.
Fundamental Functions operating at one time.
Strong forces dictate the order of mankind.
Contemplation needless with the apparatus of self-mutilation taking it's toll.
Mockery, a complacent parasite takes it's hold on the host.
Theorems of how lives are led, management of quirky undulating heads.
Acquiesced into the mental subjugation.
Individuals maintaining obdurate supplication.
Yet, the voices are subdued with the asphyxiating tapestry wrapped around their mouths.

So listen to the final materialization of tacit contemplation in it's reverie.
Darkness enshrouding, yet displaced with the light of sagacity.

- Alter

I've returned for at least an ephemeral journey into blogging once more.

Thought I had.

It's in the form of poetry, I'll write it in a story form and a theorization form later.

Blinded

Fighting something on the inside
Black walls eclipse the light from your smile
I'll fail to lie to you anymore
Watching my melting mind fail to understand you any longer.

I've tried to see what was wrong
But nobody could explain to me what I had noticed
Even the collapse of London's bridge couldn't compare
To the despair in my eyes and lungs.

A metaphor for the knife you used to gouge my eyes out
I'm blinded to the truth, but now I can feel everything so clearly
The pulse of the force behind your tracks that repeated over and over
I was only caught in a flurry of a nice tempo, but a horrible lyric

I hate that I have a heart full of pain
Listening to my heart and not my eyes
I should've seen what was coming
But my head's full of stress and I was blinded by your sharp edge

Who am I without eyes,
Without a mind and without a heart?
I'm just blinded
Eyes gouged out with the knife in my back.

9/24 - Poetry

Hmmmmmmmm, Since I did a rationalization piece last note. I decided to divulge into the arts a get a connotative piece going on here.

Neither here, Nor There.

Standing on the epitome of laziness and ignorance
What is the base I should fall upon ?
My eyes swelter with the pain of understanding
Though my heart pangs with burn of unchangeable factors.

Knees grow weak falling down into a dark abyss
Variations of one statement exist in so many places
To discern the truth from the lies is difficult
When the lies have already become the truth then what is to be believed?

An information terminal balanced on a high-beam
To fall is suicide, but to also fill the fox hole.
With a rather integrated system of emotions and rationality
What is the base I should fall upon?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I guess that was better than nothing. That's all I've got right now. I shall come up with something sooner or later.

My theory on how to save humanity - This is Scourge's Theory and the discussion that ensued.

Feel free to debate if you want. In case you havent realized, the human race is in danger. In this note I will present my theory, be it extreme, on how we may save our selves and our planet. The first and foremost threat to humanity is ourselves. We are soley to blame for our war and poverty. The first thing that must be done is the elimination of all weapons throughout the world. This effectively means no militaries in the world. At all. And with the elimination of weapons we bring ourselves closer to world peace. The next step is to establish a system where there is free trade and goods, therefore money will be obsolete and not be used. Think about it, a world where everything you need is provided, the ecquipment is provide to the workers by the took makers, the house is built, and a family moves in. If there is an abundance of all for everyone, crime is reduced to visually nothing, because everyone has what they want and need. Again, this is just stating what would have to happen, i doubt that it would. Lastly, how to save our planet. Sadly, solar panels and turning off the lights when not in use only prolongs our planets demise due to an escalating climate. No. The only way to save the earth is to leave it. If humans were to take everything we need and leave for about ten thousand years, earth would repair itself,and we may return with more knowledge and a second chance at life. This is my theory which has been presented to you. However due to society and flaws in the human way of thinking, we must correct our selves before we can correct our future.

Comments:

Me: Hmmmmmmmmm, interesting concept but the Alter inside of me has a different approach and different method of saving. For one, the elimination of all weapons is a good idea because of the fact that it would cause a domino effect of positivity. In contrast though, eventually man will supersede it's ability to cope with peace. The human mind is a clay medium to be shaped and molded with the perceptual notions that we develop to generate our sense of intelligence which is not necessarily true, we just bring forth the detriments in our lives so that we may understand them better. This leads to the development of weapons because our cognitions will eventually lead to dissidence of these perceptual connotations on the actual word of "peace." Secondly, what you are describing begins to become reminiscent of a bartering system. Which I do agree has it's benefits, but in fact with bartering there has to be a specific value for items. This is only due to the inferiority complex within humans to distance themselves from a periodic system of lowering themselves. This is seen, even in non-established communities, where the leader of the established seeks to be recognized as a leader. It's bound to happen because Human's as a relative seek guidance because we have been ordained over time as a cognitive habit in birth. It's sort of like a genetic trait. Stating that crime would dramatically increase is another fallacy that if obtained would drastically change the order of society. In a perfect world, humans can establish a monetary amount of sensible behavior as to not initiate crimes. (Genocide, Larsony, Fabrication, etc.) but since our world is developed kind of like a shadow of a perfect world ( Philospophy - Plato) humans must exist with a detriment inside of their mind. As far as the crime goes, I feel that it should an established thing for crime to exist simply for the advancement and evolution of man into a more generalized genetic specie. Crime exists simply because Humans crave it's existence. It is used a palette for humans to paint upon and develop so that they can visualize a more aesthetically pleasing version of themselves. Finally on the last issue, I agree entirely. Humans must distance themselves from the world they are destroying to visualize what is actually happening. It's like two people arguing, these two individuals argue because they cannot see past their own individualistic concepts, but have them look in from a spectator's point of view and you begin to understand what the other person is saying from an objective point of view rather than a subjective notion inside one's own mind. Remove humans from the problems and humans crave to solve it, because humans are grounded to this planet their visualization technique is limited to a first person scale instead of an third-person omniscient like it should be. All in all, a very productive note and I agree.

Scourge: What my theory proposes is not bartering but everything free for people to have. The earth doesnt charge money for its resources therefore it is only logical to continue the system of mutual sharing rather than taking. Also crime would decrease due to people being correctly guided and provided for

Gamal (Friend of Scourge): well as i do agree with both of you..... the only way to save humanity is to do immediately what they have been "trying" to do forever... frankly i dont think people in power care at all anymore and i hope they all get skin cancer and die. Humanity hangs on a thin line that has constantly been treaded back and over again and nobody corrects the problem. The humankind is a key essential to its own destruction indeed, the mentality is that of dominance, therefore peace can never be absolute, even under perfect conditions because in every generation there will be a power hungry rebel desperate to demonize the current serenity and forcibly try to corrupt it, therefore requiring the use of some type of weapon so the only true way to save humanity: Change the mentality of the population because once your mind is set to be good, you WILL be good. another way would simply be just to find the dominance genome in our DNA and take it out, therefore elimination war, crime, and anything else that is anything else.

jolly good then, so nice we can concur on the same subject. Old people need to die and we need to take charge because in this current worlds decrepid state how can we continue to elect officials to power that are indirectly killing us? I guess thats just how things work these days but that will change in 4 years i guarantee it.

Me: nstead of talking about shafts like we normally do? Lol. I do enjoy the intellectual stimulation I am receiving though. I of course see your points Gamal and Alex and I agree with Gamal that maybe if we take out the dominance genome in our cellular structure that we can supersede this point in which War, Crime, etc. exists. Though, 10% of the DNA is not entirely decrypted yet, so we do not if it is entirely up to the Dominance Genome that this occurs. Just like we do not know if the Y chromosomes in male's are truly detrimental to our health and cause increased periods of aggravation and anger. We simply do not know the extent to which these problems lie.

This is the end.

9/23 - Note on Human Perception and Ability to discern truth from falsehoods.

Today while sitting in class, I came across a particularly interesting article in the Psychology subscription on Google Reader. It was a very intriguing article on if humans brain's are switched into believing everything they hear / read if not allowed to have evidence contrasting otherwise or are humans capable of discerning the absolute truth immediately while reading it, trying to create alternative answers and a rational explanation to everything.

Here's what the article stated.

It pertained to two different theories by Rene Descartes and Baruch Spinoza.

Rene Descartes theorized that believing and comprehension remain two separate processes. He states in his theory that people take in some information, then discern what is the truth and what are the fallacies. Which is the cognitive dictation that most humans see in their average thinking. Or at least think that they see in their average thinking.

Baruch Spinoza's theory contrasted heavily upon Rene's. Spinoza theorized that humans take in information and believe it while they are reading it. Spinoza's theory takes into account that humans cognitive process cannot discern information unless having evidence which rationalizes this thought. This process that Spinoza theorizes though, heavily contrasts the believe that many humans have simply because they are ignorant to the fact that they believe most of what they read without having the proper evidence to do so. I will admit I am caught in this spinning web of ignorance also, when it comes to fabricated information that cannot be disproved so easily. This goes to show that as a Human Information System, we cannot relatively discern all the information bypassed into our system, we take in all of this BS from a diverse system f information. But I'm getting ahead of myself, let me produce the results from a social experiment implemented to test the theories.

Be aware that the results of the experiment had several introduced variables stemming from the same original problem. The sentence of a man who robbed a store. The variables introduced included statements that made the severity of the crime more or diminished the severity of it. These statements were differed in colors. Green - Statements that are true. Red- Statements are false.
There was a twist that half of the individuals reading the statements were distracted and the other half weren't. These were concurrent to the statements because if Spinoza was correct then the people who were distracted wouldn't be able to process any additional information and there would believe everything they read. If Descartes was right on the other hand, then there was no relativity to being distracted and understanding the variables in the statements.

Results:

The results from the experiment concluded that Spinoza was right and that humans tend to want to believe what they read in not given time to discern the truth from the falsehoods. Humans cannot derive alternative explanations immediately during reading but instead the human process is to believe and understand at the same time. Truthfully though, humans usually have access to most true information and if we went around having to rationalize everything we read. We would lose valuable information trying to discern all the floating variables that pass through our intelligence and cognitive domains.

* Correspondence bias: this is people's assumption that others' behavior reflects their personality, when really it reflects the situation.
* Truthfulness bias: people tend to assume that others are telling the truth, even when they are lying.
* The persuasion effect: when people are distracted it increases the persuasiveness of a message.
* Denial-innuendo effect: people tend to positively believe in things that are being categorically denied.
* Hypothesis testing bias: when testing a theory, instead of trying to prove it wrong people tend to look for information that confirms it.

Conclusion:

In conclusion to this interesting passage, I have come to the conclusion that humans are relative to large information terminals. We introduce large variables of data into our minds and do not have time to discern it, which is a relatively good and bad thing at the same time. Like a double-sided sword. We want to believe everything we hear at the same time as we read. Curiously enough, I have fallen into the same pattern which is why humans are pattern seekers. We seek to understand everything through our cognitive perception of the world and through of insecurities about dissolution of knowledge. Our perceptual notions of the world are reliant on a serious understanding of the world to protect ourselves from falling within the darkness of ignorance. This ties into our correspondence bias of relating information from our perception a a general about an individual, when this isn't necessarily true.

This is why I found the passage quite an invigorating and refreshing piece on human psychology and reminds me why the human in such an interesting and developing piece of intuitive design, cohesive elements, and mental stimulation.

Comments from a few friends of mine.

Scourge: Interesting theory. However i find flaws in this way of thinking. It has been proven that humans typically use only about 13 percent of thier brains. Therefore one with a higher cognitive ability would in theory be able to discern truth from lies. Furthermore, i find that the experiment is not very controlled. When presented with information ... Read Moreportraining to what we are interested in, fact is easily discerned from fiction. I think that we do live in a society of declining brainpower, due to the facts that it is not necessary to be "smart" to live a successfull life, and that being smart is even sometimes scorned by society. I beleive that article to be true in a general sense, but i find holes in the logic.

Me: In logic there are always going to be several debatable statements and I see your point. Though, the control is not necessarily what is wrong with the statement. Intellect does not discern whether or not the truth is relative to what we think but in fact as a human reflex, our perceptual notions drag a sense of false beliefs. This is even with ... Read Moreeducated individuals who are cast from society / non-existent within a socialized place. We are reflexive to believing things we a re told from a totally objective perspective. You are correct in you statement that it is not a necessary notion to be "smart" to be a productive member of society, but you have to understand that the empathy of humans is not to discern evidence immediately, but over time to obtain evidence that falsifies and rationalizes our own thought processes.

Me: Very true, Shyan. I don't think it's America though. It's our reliance on the technological variations in our society accommodating varied intelligence levels for those who piggyback on a platform of laziness and ignorance.

Scourge: I think that the true answer is a mixture of both our theories, however there is insufficient data to suggest WHY this is happening, whereas we have been discussing how

Me:Rofl. Alex we are distanced upon this subject. Though I agree that there is laziness and social standardization that decreases the intelligence and use of intelligence in our society, there is also the facet that it us from this base that ignorance becomes the catalyst upon which it is fueled. People rely on things for them to have a stable condition. It is proven throughout time, that humans must engulf themselves within their own made up system of beliefs to compensate for the insecurities and lack of knowledge in the world. I'm pretty sure that you get where I'm coming from also.

I agree in entirety Alex. You are also correct that we haven't been discussing why this is happening. Shyan, I believe you are correct in that statement also. Individuals from past decades were forced to implement and exhibit higher levels of intelligence rather than now. Though, through technological advancements and intelligence combining with ... Read Morethese enhancements. The society of this day and age has inscribed themselves a stone in which we have the ability to discover more than was possible in the days and age of yore. Because the society today is based upon censorship and fabricating the truth to "protect" the frail skeletal nature of the human mind, it is necessary to fuel one's own desire for the fountain of knowledge to at least reach one's potential in relation to the past.

This is the entire post, you may want to take part in it or not. Just understand our points.

Stop, Slow, Go

It's cold outside, the rain is a blanket of gray.
The streets are lined with people, blank faces passing in a sea of time.
You throw your stuff in the back seat, mascara runs down your face.
The tears have come again, I'm sorry for hurting you like this.

So stop, just hold your car right there.
Are you looking for something to compare?
So stop, slow down and reach for the memories
The cold hard look in your eyes is haunting me.

My pain is burning down into my soul
The scars that I've inflicted have no place to go
The rain pours down and washes you away, Your running for the savior
Where is he today?

So slow, My thoughts are running to a halt
I can't believe stupidity has opened my faults.
So slow, I'm racing inside my endless pain
I've pushed you away, now I can't get away from here.

Your foot hit's the gas petal
Your finally leaving this town
All the smiles, and places are burning to the ground
In your mind, you've already abandoned this small hope
That I'll be the one to go with you to the end of the road.

So Go, Look at the road in front of you
It's paved with all the doors that you've opened, someplace brand new.
So Go, Tell all these memories goodbye
Leave the ones that hurt you and just leave us tonight.
