Cannot Talk Technicalities In Public

Personal consciousness of self is divided into two things: one is a doorway through which most people never go.

The other is a system of the organic brain, that relies on brain cell memories of experiences perceived via signals from the material senses - which are held to then represent personal consciousness.

In this paradigm things go like so - "I was here back then, and I was here and here -, I am here now."

However even 'now' is a brain cell memory created at least 1/20th of a second earlier than the brain-aware statement of 'now.'

And this paradigm also dominates the whole of human society. 

There is a reason the mainstream establishment including academia largely decries it or dismisses by feigning obliviousness about the discipline of psychology, and that is that all psychologists from Freud through Jung and Reich and anyone afterwards concluded that the world is dominated by the narcissistic psychopath mindset.

What this means in practice (this pathology) is that people seek material objects from which are derived material sensory stimulus: a person is an object, a social group is an object, the products of high craft are objects...

All of modern economics and economic value is based on the practical exercise of money in exchange for objects of perceived benefit from the acquisition. There is a pill that cures pain/infection/diabetes/cancer; or purports to do that.

You take an object, you acquire an object, and then its possession procures for you the brain sensation of gain and betterment and even just simply sensation for its own sake alone - as in anti-anxiety medications and beta-blockers and 'serotonin stuff.'

If you take melatonin, then it will allow you to spend more time during the wrong hours, working to acquire material objects - instead of sleeping or resting during those phases that naturally the human body requires in to be authentically productive. 

This mindset is completely sophisticated, very wide-ranged, totally superficial, socially overwhelming, utterly pernicious - and completely misleading.

What you are looking at are people insistent on getting brain cell memory experiences from instant sensory signals from their perceptions of material objects - all the while literally advancing inexorably towards their own complete physical and actual deaths, in the bodily, in the material sense; without giving a second thought to the effects of natural aging and the incapacity of their thinking mind to plan and strategize away from anything that is not purely instant or relatively immediate gratification of a nervous response.

'My under-eyes are puffy.' Says the person with a massive gut overhang and no rotational movement in their lower torso where their kidneys are... The kidneys being organs without any muscles to force them to move to do the work they necessarily have to do to flush fluids - and so the person seeks a pill to do what exercise is the only means of doing. They cannot imagine doing any actual real work; they can instead only insist on 'going to work' in order to have the economic means to acquire objects, and sensory stimulation from objects.

A person is also an object (in this paradigm). And so, the whole of society has set up this grandiose arrangement, in which people go around observing how others react and what they respond to, and then they portray those triggers in order to acquire (as possessed objects, in essence) the reactions of those people they have targeted.

Governments do it, Big Pharma does it, advertising agencies do it, the medical fraternity does it, 'romantic partners' do it - and in our modern times they have all learned to do it exceedingly well.

But there is a philosophical 'mind-trap' involved with all of this, a metaphysical reason why society went this way at all to begin with: personal consciousness of self is the only thing in the Universe that scientists cannot observe as a first order matter with a third party observer control.

Something new(ish)...

That is, you and you alone are having the sense of, the feeling of, 'personal consciousness' (of self; if you need to add that).

No one, no 'scientist' can honestly say that they are truly 'observing' or feeling what you are exactly feeling.

So it's easy for fools to turn around and pretend 'well okay, your personal consciousness of self does not exist' (and therefore I can manipulate you, and have no actual empathy with you; only a fabricated, a reflected portrayal of what can be passed of for empathy).

Scientists cannot measure it, so it's convenient for them to act like it does not exist, or at least, does not need to exist in a healthy human society.

...And which is the reason all psychologists say that there is no sane and mentally-healthy society in existence today.

And naturally then, the reason also why the rest of academia hates psychology in its purest form.

There is no obvious 'scientific' proforma for anyone literally and actually 'getting inside the heads' of another individual that is not themselves.

Human empathy, in the modern world, is hypothetical. And not real. Not genuine at all.

So what does the converse of this picture look like?

One of the problems for me discussing this in any way openly, to a 'general public' audience, is the sheer paucity to begin with, the poverty, of those tools that should be available to advanced intelligent people - and are not, in the framework of the modern human race.

The leading current neurophysiologist and computational neuroscientist (notice how he does not say 'psychologist!') Christof Koch when attempting to explain consciousness, goes off on this wild goose chase, misleading everyone about how the optic nerve is not the actual 'place' where sight and vision take place, and talks about the energy of the stimuli and the electrical energy in the nerve pathways and so on.

Koch wants to imply that vision is somehow key to consciousness. Which it is not.

But the authentic fact is though, that the whole of modern human society has been skewed off into this lunatic fantasy mentality of material stimulus by acquisition - because they have all put a price on sensation and sensory entertainment.

Look, look - frankly it's just entertaining for 'you' to go to your doctor and get 'prescribed' some nonsense in the form of a chemical or substance that will give your biological system a process interruption, disruption, modification, or even do nothing at all organic - whereas it is very hard work indeed, to throw in your job, run twenty miles every day (and/or night), suffer the psychological pressure of the disdain of your 'friends' and the continuous marketing pressure by governments to have you one of the 'fully employed...' 

Which is - 'employed for them,' of course.

Oh I certainly can get in behind your eyes and see what you are seeing and feel what you are feeling.

And but then I might detest how you deal with what you are seeing and sensing...

And I might then choose to go behind the eyes of those I have a higher regard for.

But what does that mean 'have a higher regard for' (that is, meaning how they think, and not of course what they think)?

I do not want to necessarily go into your head!

But well why do I respect that person? Or this person, this certain individual, as opposed to any other one or lots thereof (of human beings)?

And so we go back to this thing about 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you' - but that categorically takes us away from 'do unto others what will make them act in a certain way towards you...'

But then isn't that what the whole world is doing at the moment? Causing fear and panic to make people jump in certain ways, inciting anger and emotional responses to issues requiring cold strategic thinking, inflaming basic sexual responses to convince audiences of highly commercialized 'sex positivity?' 

Where are the empathy equations?

These are few and far to be seen.

Personal consciousness of self is the only thing in the Universe that cannot be observed by a third party as a scientist observes a germ in a test-tube to identify and know and understand everything about that germ, every mechanism of the germ.

Except it isn't.

Except Christof Koch is not the person that will ever find that out. 

He has a completely arrogant and opinionated view that is endemic to all modern scientists

He cannot find it out.

Everyone knows what they're doing...
Okay correction - someone there
in each place knows.

He simply cannot understand that what he is only speculating about the energy running through the nerves linking the optic system in the human - is in fact testament to his ignorance about nervous energy and neurons; not testament to his science and science knowledge.

It's testament to his ignorance of science, all dressed up in peer esteem as therefore serious knowledge.

There are many completely precise and accurate objective external tests of the sense perceptions and feelings of an individual, as opposed to speculative opinions (as Koch gives) about what so-and-so is feeling.

And the fact that there is (or are) discounts totally his theory that people cannot know what another person's personal consciousness of self is... So why did he ever even propound such a fatally flawed position?

And the fact that there is or are... ...can extend forward as a trajectory of reasoning, to the idea that consciousness is fundamental; namely, it's an actual thing. 

Are you an actual thing? That is, one separate, individual, thing? 

You know numbers are things, and each of them is composed of sets of the same exact 'unit thing' but different by ascending arithmetic proceeding to the order of 'one added (same) thing' each time in the linear arithmetic sequence to Infinity.

So could I exchange with you, on the assumption that you have some 'things' of which I also already possess some of those things too - some 'thing spaces' in your mind? 

I mean if you and I had the same, or more or less the same, number of 'thing spaces' but a different number of filled thing spaces, then maybe I could spare some, or you could spare some - especially if we both had some redundant sets. Or maybe even there were some sets that would benefit me to have, and benefit you to have less of. And vice versa.

Oh but my friends, human beings are nothing if not extraordinarily complex creatures.

So why make things hard on yourself?

Why go for just anything when you could work on something (I mean someone) truly personally opulent.

Actually let's go another way to make the point. Why are you wasting your time doing anything less??

At least be the person who could, who would, who can. 

Men die. Mankind is grown only to burn, to be burned -, to ashes and to dust blown away in the wind.

Only the gods live forever.

And therein, as they say...

'Oh but I am so weak.'

Uh-huh. Whatever.

...And when you see things through new eyes:
