coax Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I agree with a lot of posts in here, and I want to talk about a more "technical" view. It helps me somewhat to understand what I am in the grand scheme of things, plus hopefully some practical tips at the end. I think of the human organism as a brain, with biology that has certain evolutionary instincts that give emotional incentives to do this that or the other. The brain functions roughly on 2 levels - the emotional and the symbolic. The symbolic includes language, visual cues, narratives about everything in our lives (the Map of the environment and our navigational tools for it), while the emotional level are instincts that activate, repress or modulate motor activity based on the environment we're in and the reflexes we have for navigating it. In general, all symbols that the environment teach us are arbitrary and relative to the current events and beliefs shared by the agents that we get signals from (friends, aquantainces, media, whatever), whose speech and actions are also filtered by their genetic makeup and environmental experiences. So in essence - a human is a general output machine surrounded by inputs of the environment, and evolutionary pressures selected for biological instincts that help survival through reward mechanisms in the body. So what do you need from the environment? 1) A feeling of control 2) A reward for accomplishing instincts 3) A simple environment where progress and control can be seen and felt To accomplish instincts you need a grasp of the environment, and to grasp the environment you need to spend time in it - more time than many people do. A lot of people spend time in the environment that culture tells them to, and there are many goals one could accomplish there - wealth, sexual partner, good job, etc. But I think, in theory, humanity is a lot more diverse than that. Instead of being a hive, we could be a big set of colonies, and new colonies should be created in new environments, where they will dwell and explore and expand. Whether metaphoric or literal, it doesn't matter. In some sense humans are often interchangeable, and one could move to another hive, and due to the plasticity of its brain, it would adapt and become comfortable. In a sense, what the internet and even the world does, is show us many colonies all at once, and we sometimes move from one to the next, without ever really learning or adapting our brain to them. In anything that is worthwhile, I would say considerable time has been spent getting there. Not just to adapt the brain, but to adapt it so well that it will explore and find new creative avenues at a depth that would be impossible for an untrained brain. To get an emotional response to kick in, in a certain environment, you need to train your brain via almost a sort of brainwashing and repetition to boot up the emotions, and this will lead to an incentive to continue motor action that will enhance the environment in the way the brain wants it to - for its own selfishness of course - but it works. A lot of people may be lucky, they have either by luck or by work, enabled a positive loop that gives them continuous emotional incentive to map the environment and execute on that environment. So onto a few practical things. You can modulate your ability for reward - you can set the reward level yourself, and activate the reward emotion, even when it's not technically deserved. People with grandiose thoughts or delusions can be quite lucky in this sense, because they get an irrational response to execute on the environment - it's a lot harder when you're a rational person and you have to build all the confidence and reward manually without delusion. Still, I think we could all learn a little from the delusions. We can lower our threshold for reward and start the positive foodback cycle which could ultimately lead to actual great things (as compared to the performance of others). Although it's philosophically debatable whether all execution on the environment is in some ways delusional on some level - it is at least a relative thing that doesn't serve much purpose outside the map it has created, but I mean without those maps, nothing has any meaning. However, the second point is that to even have an environment, you need to expose yourself to it, a lot. Exposure by itself should trigger, after a period of time, automatic calls to execute on the environment in some way, and this is an indication of the start of a positive cycle. It may take a while actually, because at first it will be confusing, boring or whatever, but after a while, the brain will start to see things it didn't before. Discipline is a big issue here - even exposure can be quite difficult to maintain, but anyone CAN stick to it. The positive cycle will start once your brain has a clearer map and navigational tools, and executes several actions - and this is I guess, life. - Stick to one thing - Exposure - Be happy with smaller things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
