Death was the beginning of our journey [1]. As living organisms, we’ve evolved to fight it more skillfully which led to the development of intelligence. From the very simple stimulus-response system, we’ve moved towards complex analyses, evaluating many variables to come up with different decisions to choose from. Based on Minergy [2], the brain and body evolved to minimize the […]
In the last post [1], I stated that if you have low self-esteem, the problems will look more terrifying which will induce more stress hormones, and if it passes the panic threshold, the brain will shut down the rational part [2] and use the default reaction either (fight or flight). However, running away isn’t normally an option for settlers so […]
In the earlier posts, we discussed that the history of the cognitive revolution could be divided into three eras based on different types of causality [1]: magic, religion, and science [2]. We talked about the magic era in which people believed [3] that their actions could affect the natural courses. In the religion era, the exact opposite belief was cultivated: […]
In the last post, we saw how some half-crazy people could persuade others that they were connected to a higher being and if they came along at the right time and place, some people would believe in them. In the case of epilepsy, the seizure could visually convince people that something extraordinary was going on. [1] The diagram above shows […]
The concept of the afterlife has been most probably the first and strongest mental painkiller [1]. For those who struggle with mortality, believing [2] in the afterlife is quite a relief. Death wouldn’t be the end but the transition to another life [3]. Thus the problem seems to have been resolved. Though Karl Marx [4] had intended to attack the […]
Right now, we’re in the mind of a primitive man (I’d like to call him Icarus [1]) who’s grieving for a deceased friend. Icarus is aware of dying. He’s seen how people died and their body decayed. Death is irreversible. Icarus remembers all the corpses he saw and all the people who’d died before and he heard about them. Suddenly […]
The concept of causality [1] has enabled us to react to causes instead of effects and the belief [2] in it has directed us to look for the causes of phenomena. In fact, we can analyze the history of Sapiens based on the type of causes they’ve assigned to the things around. Sir James Frazer [3], in “The golden bough” […]
To pick up where we left off, our brain had created the supersign of the thing [1] then stored it in the memory. We also learned that a supersign contains the objective and subjective parts which are respectively perceived and conceived [2]. The supersign of the thing is the first and rock-bottom MEANING that our brain has created [3]. So […]
To pick up where we left off, we perceived the thing, its sign was created and stored in the memory, then we felt the fear which was about to trigger either the fight or flight response regarding our confidence level. [1]
Registering the thing [1] happened in less than a microsecond; then in order to survive, our brain needs to decide if it’s a danger or not, consequently to execute the best reaction. Imagine that you absolutely had no earthly knowledge to evaluate the thing, how would you decide if it’s dangerous or not? [2]
