Deconstruction and Reconstruction of Personal Identity

Most people are not aware of how their identity was created. For the most part, individual humans are programmed with just enough capability to conduct a piece of meat for sixty years through a set of rules which enable the accumulation of capital in the classes of meat which make those rules.

A few of us have the privilege of knowing how to tear down our minds to zero and rebuild them as necessary on a daily basis, in a sandbox. But for many, this is inconceivable. For some who have a grasp of the basic concepts of it, the mere thought of doing this is horrifying as they are aware that the risk of deconstructing their identity carries the risk of an unacceptable reconstruction. So few people destroy themselves frequently. Some do it a few times in their lives.

Well, that is the nature of natural intelligence at this point in history.

People would do well to study it more.

Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Correlates with Learning

Reflecting on the modes of memory management correlated with SNS and PSNS activity - I will be thinking today a bit, about how to co-ordinate SNS and PSNS activity to optimise one's rate of learning. I am quite sure different types of learning are more efficient under different conditions. For example, the SNS-correlated learning is probably going to be associated with a lot of stress hormones and anxiety, whereas the PSNS-correlated learning is probably going to be associated with more pleasure and trust.

The OKU State

Affirmative action, poverty eradication, social security, and disability rights, have a common mode.

Sometimes a community starts out by having a lot of poor people, whom everyone wants to help.

Sometimes the help goes a bit sideways, and turns the disabled into bigoted Nazis, causing social duress.

That's how you go from being an OKU state, to being a state of hate.

Now you have two problems.
