Face it. You’re brain is loopy. This is why the world is going nuts over a virus.
Actually all brains are loopy. That is what the brain does. It accepts input from things like eyes and ears and other sensors and adds that new ‘memory’ to the top of a loop.
New memory does down the loop while old memory comes back up the loop, in reverse, which makes remembering come to a balance of input reality. A returning loop, like a rubber band, would bring old memory is the reverse order it was entered. Would be horribly confusing.
Here is a crude depiction of a pathway of memory. New memory adds at the top. Old memory works its way up from the most recent memory first. The image shows four columns. From the right to the left they are: 1: body clock firing pathway at the long term memory rate (30:1) top-down; 2: memory down pathway discharging at the long term memory rate; 3: memory up pathway (recall) discharging at the same body clock firing rate (bottom-up); 4: the body clock firing pathway at the long term memory rate (30:1)(bottom-up). Watch the image for a time of concentration. You can see a new memory entering the pathway, moving to the next neuron, firing from the body clock and discharging its response to both the next long term neuron AND the return pathway neuron where at that point, the new memory is computed with an old memory. The result is either an enhanced old memory returned or not. That’s called remembering.
So why is hoarding and reacting and bulk buying for no logical reason such a thing?
Those loops are created whether the human adds a self-aware remembrance into the mix or not.
If the person is not fully self aware, the memory will be its own. There will be no relevance to the person. A simple thing can set up a reaction based on how that person reacted before and without a set of brakes, well… It is exactly how all other creatures of nature with brains function. Only humans can add the binder of self-awareness to memory to make it all relevant and gain the way to stop reacting and start pro-acting.
A self-aware person does not react that way. With a healthy awareness of self, memory takes on relevance to the brain creating it. Input has to get past the person’s own sense of “I” before it can cause a reaction.
Those loops are made whether the person is self-aware or not.
That leaves those who are not fully self-aware with nothing but what they have already done and what that means for how they will react to what is done.
The Coronavirus, Wuflu, China virus, Covid19 : whatever it is called, is today being pushed in every conceivable venue; from company emails to newsletters to school closings to store runs to anything involving reaction by a news media hell-bent on fulfilling Cloward-Piven: Never let a crisis go to waste: (in all fairness Winston Churchill first coined the phrase but it wasn’t to overthrow a nation!) Read that article by Glenn Beck when he was at Fox!!!
The solution to every non physically caused mental condition for humans is to be human and become more self-aware. This site offers ways to do that.
And if society does not fix this problem very very soon: humans will kill each other off, just as humans did when self-awareness had not yet taken hold.
THE NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE OF TODAY IS NOT A VIRUS. IT IS THE HUMAN SPECIES POPULATION REVERSING COURSE AND BECOMING UNLIKE ANY OTHER GENERATION.
