Did You Know That Your Mind Is A Battlefield?


Your brain is not just occupied by brain cells. Those electric currents between nerve cells occur in patterns that can be reliably replicated, just like DNA. The organisms that use this as the storage medium for their inheritance from one generation to the next are what we call ideas. Ideas have a complex, multi-stage life cycle. They can lie dormant or hibernate inside your memory, even when they are not ‘on your mind’ at the moment. They use your ability to speak and communicate to transmit the information into another person’s mind. That is their dispersal mechanism, like plant seeds using the wind to carry their seeds to new environments. Ideas cooperate and reinforce each other. This helps them to survive.
Ideas don’t always cooperate. Sometimes, they encounter competition from different ideas for the same niche in a person’s mind. Then, you get cognitive dissonance, when there isn’t room for two ideas to both hold the position of being ‘true’ inside the person’s mind. Whichever ideas hold the high ground inside a person’s mind as being true stand a better chance for reproductive success. A person who believes certain things to be true will be more likely to try to convince others of this belief, thereby introducing the idea to the new habitat in the other people’s minds if they are successfully convinced. Ideas will defend themselves if they encounter one that is trying to push them out of the niche they occupy. This will lead to a person arguing in favor of the ideas they believe are true. Ideas take advantage of human social behavior to spread themselves about. Some ideas have made tremendously successful use of mass media like the radio, television, and the internet to spread themselves to many people at once, instead of just one or a few at a time. Some ideas live in symbiosis with the humans they inhabit, containing information that the human mind can use and translate into action that will benefit that person.

Why Are People So Against Weed?


Well, seeing as i am not a pot head and im not “brain dead” i think people will be able to see it from a different light.
first of all, there a tons of good things about weed, and plenty of bad things.
some good things are: weed is only harmful to extreme addicts and people who get “bad” weed
its just as bad as alcohol and cigarettes, if not safer
Alot of pot heads i know are not any less intelligent from smoking(actually, some are smart and now are thinking more)
weed is so popular that alot of socially challenged people find a place with pot heads, smoking or not.
(there are tons more but i dont wanna waste time…)
some bad things are:
Weed is a gateway drug
weed has been known to make people more paranoid
weed, just like ANY drug, can be harmful in certain situations
Its plain old illegal.
I think that despite these cons, weed should be legal for a few reasons,
1.would reduce crime because with government regulating it, drug dealers would be non existent (much like the banning of alcohol, weed being illegal creates a market…)
2. With government in full control of weed market,two good things can happen. A. Government can keep weed clean and safe, also keeping records of how much a persons’ doing, so they dont overdose, and what they’re doing (i mean smoking wise) so they dont have “secret ingredients” and B. Government can profit off of it just as the drug dealers are doing, bringing in funds for our economy issue.
3. A lot of people want it. (although i admit it has been voted on, right?)
4. Plenty of people only aren’t smoking because it’s illegal
i know there are more good reasons, so feel free to add them as well. dont give me bogus answers like “it kills brain cells” (its not like your body doesn’t make more) or “it makes you stupid”(you make smoke because your stupid, but your not stupid because you smoke). be honest and fair and dont disrespect me for me deciding to support them, just like i dont disrespect you for not.

Open To All: Opinions Please?


The following is an excerpt from Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash:
“All people have religions. It’s like we have religion receptors built into our brain cells, or something, and we’ll latch onto anything that’ll fill that niche for us. Now, religion used to be essentially viral- a piece of information that replicated inside the human mind, jumping from one person to the next. That is the way it used to be, and unfortunately, that’s the way it’s headed now.
But there have been several efforts to deliver us from the primitave, irrational religion. The first was made by someone named Enki about for thousand years ago. The second was made by Hebrew scholars in the eighth century B.C., driven out of their homeland by the invasion of Sargon II, but eventually it was just developed into empty legalism.
Another attempt was made by Jesus- that one was hijacked by viral influences within fifty days of his death. The virus was suppressed by the Catholic Church, but we’re in the middle of a big epidemic that started in Kansas in 1900 and has been gathering momentum ever since.
…Anyone who takes the trouble to study the gospels can see that the bodily resurrection [of Jesus] is a myth that was tacked onto the real story several years after the real histories were written. It’s so National Enquirer-esque, don’t you think?”
