agama kepatungan hati

Hidup di Malaysia memang pelik. Semua pihak mematungkan agama. 

Satu disyaki mematungkan sebatang kayu.

Dia pulak ingat kawannya mematungkan khayalan. 

Kawannya pulak ingat seorang lagi mematungkan manusia.

Seorang lagi itu ingat orang yang lain mematungkan wang.

Adapun yang disyaki mematungkan kekosongan. 

Ada lagi yang disyaki mematungkan keindahan.

Ada lagi yang disyaki mematungkan tamadun.

Ko patungkan apa? Tahu tak, apa itu maksud agama? 

GABA : DMN suppression

TIL : the GABA neurotransmitter is greatly involved in suppressing the [ Default Mode Network, DMN ], an operation which is required for control to pass to the [ Executive Control Network, ECN ] ... hence the link between GABA boosters like barbiturates and executive function disorders, such as those of the Autism spectrum.

In college I figured out how to quantify conscious experiences. Now I get to learn about how the experiences are controlled. Fun.

what happens if I turn X off?

Studying complicated structures, with multiple overlapping control planes, such as the nervous system : I find it is useful to read first 

  • in terms of "what happens if I turn X off", 
  • instead of "what does X do". 
They are essentially the same question - however due to cultural reasons, possibly related to the anthropology of linguistics, the positive statement "subject-has-predicate" does not generally provide details of "subject-not-has-predicate". This is quite interesting for various reasons.
