I noticed that the article doesn’t describe anything to contradict “the myth.” It would make for a long, drawn out class if it were to do so in full. It would be like trying to teach Python or C++ in a few pages. Most readers of that newspaper with this article get their understanding of themselves from movies, story books, social magazines, songs, and religions. If you described what they really are, that would read something like a description of computer language and how the computer processes the commands in the language as well as the data such as external sensory inputs, memory, feelings both bodily and emotional, people would not get it because of what they’ve only been taught to believe about what they are.
People just want to use their computer not learn how to build it and program it. They want a quick download, and then use the computer to do things for their lives.
That is why the chem theory is so popular. It suggests that you just download the solution, and blammo. They don’t care about informationous phenomena, ontology, logic, or things like the systems, coding, and functions of cybernetics phenomena.
Because really the problem is about bad programming, but how do you make a bad program change itself? You incentivize the learning about these things until the person just automatically re-writes the mental code for themselves.
Incentives cost money though, and that is the wrong way for a lot of people out there unconcerned about other people and families in the world.
When I began to see that people were coding each other and themselves after seeing my own brain doing this to itself and studying information phenomena, language, logic, and computer languages, then I no longer was paranoid. If I started to panic or feel awkward, I would just realize that my brain is starting to code itself again. If what others were making me panic, I would just realize that they were coding each other or me. I don’t have to accept the codes either way, and then run them through my brain processors if I know what this is all about. When I didn’t know what this was all about, I did have to processes these codes, and it always made me panic, screw up, and make things very, very bad.
The result of this ability is that I’m happier, and people are happier with me. I realize that most people don’t understand these things, and so they are dealing with these things too, thus I don’t take these blunders personally. Instead I accentuate on the positive things and what’s more socially enjoyable.
Can a pill do all that? I wish.
