Thank you for this link! Since I started learning Chinese characters, which have a direct hieroglyphic origin, I sense another way of thinking, another way of logic.
Something of great importance to always be aware of is, “How are the ‘apparent’ trends being driven by the constant evil machinations employed by the wealthy and powerful seeking a global oligarchy to overthrow and destroy those who prefer constitutional republicanism?”
The British Globalist Fascist Oligarchy have employed many useful idiots like Adam Smith, Keynes, Hayek, and von Mises to fight their battle between Oligarchism Vs. Republicanism. They also created the Tavistock Institute to develop and deploy the sinister methods of Mind Control and Propaganda.

The plain fact is that education is itself a form of propaganda - a deliberate scheme to outfit the pupil, not with the capacity to weigh ideas, but with a simple appetite for gulping ideas ready-made.

Here's what we can do to change the world to a better ride right now. Take all the money we spend on weapons and defence each year and instead spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded and we can explore space… together… both inner and outer… forever… in peace. - Bill Hicks
Excellent stuff. The LH is a wonderful tool when used appropriately. Unfortunately, for the last few hundred, if not few thousand years, the tool has become our God. People in power have sought to create a world in the image of that tool and their deity. They have worked explicitly and implicitly to build systems within reality that are designed to play to the strengths and weaknesses of the LH.
They are terrified of the RH and its broader and deeper vision. I think we are seeing the ultimate unraveling and breakdown of these systems and of the systems mode of organizing our world. They push the LH agenda as their systems decay and disintegrate in the face of human nature and of life that is incompatible with ignoring the RH view of existence. Everything can work until it doesn’t and LH dominance has been working for fewer and fewer people. You can ignore reality for only so long. Order will be restored. But that order is a much grander vision as the RH perceives and attends. What cannot continue will not continue.

I've been pondering volition as a hobby for years now, maybe more years than I know of, and it seems to me that even one's own volition is an unknowable process, and not what most people think it is. It seems to me that consciousness, awareness, the voices in your head, whatever you want to call it, is nothing more than a peanut gallery. The commentary goes on and on and you do what you're gonna do regardless.
Thank You, Alex. "Garbage-in > garbage-out" is the problem with a perfectly good left brain processor.
Some of us have more self-reflective natures and re-examine our assumptions, especially when our projections fail... I can tell that you do that. One's projections improve over time in that scenario.

Inverting the Hard Problem
Does the brain create consciousness, or did consciousness create the brain?
The function of a motile organism is to be the center of the universe.
There's no use to motility but to enhance the center of the universe.
There's no way the organism can enhance the center of the universe without a cartoon of the universe.
For the most primitive of motile organisms this cartoon is complete out of the box, but for more advanced organisms it continues to develop as part of the process of enhancing the center of the universe. In some humans development of the cartoon of the universe continues as long as the brain functions well enough to support that development.
The cartoon is necessary for language because it is the cartoon that is the basis of communication, the thing communicated about. Language promotes the transfer of bits of cartoon, sub-cartoons, between similar cartoons, i.e. the mutual enhancement of sets of cartoons. Language is part of the process of cartooning.
The meaning of life is dealing with the 8 billion other shitheads on the planet. This is manifest as culture. It is the primary motivation and influence on development of the cartoon of the universe for advanced, motile, social organisms.
Without the meaning of life there is no use for language.
There is a third. But I am not so sure it is available to you unless you are a sensitive, neurodivergent, PG and hard wired for empathy/ echoist. Its unified intelligence and I have it and then some.
It makes everything much easier because you have to live healthy. So you don't waste your time on the bs everyone else hems and haws over.
Two thoughts come to 'mind' (or somewhere): the western school system focuses almost exclusively on the LH which, in our formative years, probably amounts to child abuse; and consequently that bias explains why so few have been able to see the big tyranny picture of the last four years.
I can actually date my own RH awakening to the mid-80s after coming across Betty Edwards' book 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain'. Up until then I only suspected that there might be more to it. A modern classic.
Awesome article Alex. I may have almost recovered the IQ points I lost watching the Dumb and Dumber show (debate) for less than 10 minutes the other night.
I find an almost direct correlation between how much education one has, and the amount of stupidity they buy into. Stunning.
I have been thinking about what each generation has been programmed with the last century, and how we got where we are today.

Here's one where he goes more into Chinese and how that works.

Nice to see you question the abstract mind with its conscious theorizing flaws .
The “ West” thrives on this vanity I think never questioning itself.
Well done article about thinking into the unknown.

Inverting the Hard Problem
Does the brain create consciousness, or did consciousness create the brain?
https://mitteldorf.substack.com/p/inverting-the-hard-problem
Thank John. I think it's almost obvious that consciousness created the brain (and everything else). It's the word in "first, there was a word."
I got this idea in August 2020:
The function of a motile organism is to be the center of the universe.
There's no use to motility but to enhance the center of the universe.
There's no way the organism can enhance the center of the universe without a cartoon of the universe.
For the most primitive of motile organisms this cartoon is complete out of the box, but for more advanced organisms it continues to develop as part of the process of enhancing the center of the universe. In some humans development of the cartoon of the universe continues as long as the brain functions well enough to support that development.
The cartoon is necessary for language because it is the cartoon that is the basis of communication, the thing communicated about. Language promotes the transfer of bits of cartoon, sub-cartoons, between similar cartoons, i.e. the mutual enhancement of sets of cartoons. Language is part of the process of cartooning.
The meaning of life is dealing with the 8 billion other shitheads on the planet. This is manifest as culture. It is the primary motivation and influence on development of the cartoon of the universe for advanced, motile, social organisms.
Without the meaning of life there is no use for language.
One of the most interesting articles I read recently, with far-stretching implications. Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you!

Yes, agreed, 100%.
I can actually date my own RH awakening to the mid-80s after coming across Betty Edwards' book 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain'. Up until then I only suspected that there might be more to it. A modern classic.
Cool. A friend had already suggested that book to me!

I find an almost direct correlation between how much education one has, and the amount of stupidity they buy into. Stunning.
I have been thinking about what each generation has been programmed with the last century, and how we got where we are today.
This has all been planned, and implemented.
Thank you, John
In the interests of questioning everything, Mark Twain probably never said that famous quote:

Doesn't make it any less true though!
Thank you 🙏 Very important to be aware of this
