Back to here and now. We’re in human form; limited to five senses, in an allegedly chimp derived body, with all its faults and beauty, limitations and abilities, talents and capacity for love. The same issues, desires, hormonal and chemical reactions and choices in the split second, to go one way or another. Sometimes we can control our emotional reactions, sometimes not. Closing the mouth to prevent sound coming out is a control tactic we might use first, when a strong reaction overpowers the intellectual filter; preventing us from making crass comments – usually the first grisly, often inappropriate, thing that comes into our head. Every reaction has a beginning and when a reaction starts, there is a split-second decision made by the individual, consciously or subconsciously, to go this way or that; react positively, with neutrality, or negatively.
As humans, we have a huge emotional operating range. A consequence of the last big genetic upgrade of the species when brain capacity was increased. Humans have so wide a range, we never know quite where in the range a reaction is going to start, land and settle. It depends upon the degree of control an individual has over their body and its mental balance. Inappropriate social situations can exert control over an individuals’ reaction, so that person might save a reaction, choosing to let it out gently, in a controlled manner, or explode, later.
The brain is trained in this way during childhood, to follow required paths; those beneficial for the individual, society and our established civilisation. As we age, the brain configures to our most frequently used responses; habits form this way, automatic reactions needing no immediate thought input. Useful because we can’t always stop to think about what to do next. The anthropoid/chimp that watched an approaching cheetah, became a meal, and usually didn’t survive it… We’re descendants of the survivors. Here am I, using one of our new toys (internet) to tell each other another story, built from the same evidence as current evolutionary theory.
“As we age, the brain configures to our most frequently used responses; habits form this way, automatic reactions needing no immediate thought input.” I’ve wondered if life goes quicker as you get older because one is on ‘auto-pilot’ more often and therefore not engaging with the world with the same fervour and fascination. Instead, we only check in from time to time like sleepy children peeking from beneath their blankets at the darkness surrounding them.
Thank you for any other excellent post. Where
else could anyone get that type of info in such an ideal manner of writing?
I have a presentation subsequent week, and I’m at the search for such
information.
We would like to thank you once more for the wonderful ideas you
offered Jesse when preparing her post-graduate research and also, most
importantly, regarding providing each of the ideas in one blog post.
If we had known of your website a year ago, i’d have
been rescued from the unnecessary measures we were having to take.
Thank you very much.
When someone writes an paragraph he/she retains the idea of a user in his/her mind that how a user
can understand it. So that’s why this paragraph is perfect.
Thanks!
