Other
We are all, without exception, behaviorally programmed. We are all, to a greater or lesser degree, behaviorally manipulated. And we are all, to some extent, mind-poisoned and controlled by early suggestion and example. But perhaps more revealing is the fact that we all, whether consciously or unconsciously, try to manipulate others to our way of thinking. Because behavioral programming can effectively imprint in a single moment or sentence, even a sibling cannot have comprehensive knowledge of the turning points in his brother's programming, though he himself may have played a major role in that programming. And yet, without such knowledge, society expects to understand the rationale behind a man's misanthropic behavior, and attributes incomprehensible behavior to insanity or criminality, rather than programming.
No two people consistently experience the same programming. The human brain has more than one hundred billion neurons, and with more than a thousand synapses per neuron, activity adds up to about one hundred trillion electro-chemical discharges within the brain. Even when we discount the fact that much of our sensory stimulation and response is identically duplicated, the possible permutation of ideas and experience that make up the range of programmed behavioral differences in people is truly astronomical.
In the following writing, the villains are mental viruses, ideas that make victims out of the unsuspecting. There is no blame, but only the tragedy of generations of programmed aberrant behavior. We'll reflect on human life as it has evolved, and aspire to objectivity in a realistic assessment of what we are, and where we are. We'll attempt to provide answers and explanations for those who seek purpose, hope and direction in their lives as they l
