What does the Flow of Thought have to do with the Real Estate Sector, and why am I posting this essay on my Real Estate Blog? Well, The Flow of Thought has to do with everything in human society, including the planning of our civilization, cities and community. In fact, you could not work, play or love without the flow of thought, think about it. Yes, that indeed, is the very first step, so shouldn't you know a little about the Flow of Thought, to assist you in your complex and challenging career?
Why are we studying the Flow of Everything we know? And why are we starting with the Flow of Thought? Without the flow of thought, the human species would not need to study anything, but rather be reduced to simply react with the stimuli around us. Luckily, the human race and the human brain has the ability to think and reason. Without debating the cognitive ability as compared with other species of the planet, we can definitely say we are amongst the top tier of intelligence of all species here on our Earth.
Scientists have studied the brain, but still have many questions yet to be answered. This Gray spongy thing seems to be able to do quite a bit more than we ever realized. Most of the current studies have to do with brain disorders. Using these disorders scientists have hypothesized how the brain works. Unfortunately most of the studies that are funded are for brain disorders instead of healthy brains. Which is interesting in that; where does a healthy brain start and an unhealthy brain end. And what is exactly is the definition of a healthy brain? We study things such as ADHD and we say these are disorders. Are they?
If so many people have this so called issue then in fact is it a disorder or is it the way many human brains work? Studying the characteristics of ADHD, I would say that it may not be a negative trait at all. As a matter of fact squirrels and other fidgety creatures are able to stay more alert and not get eaten by predators as often as other critters. Perhaps the person with ADHD ought to be the one on point guard when searching caves out for Bin Laden. They will be more alert and dwell less on one thing and able to pick up the slightest movement, sound, or sight and be able to adapt quicker and isolate the threat with force. Perhaps ADHD might be used as a tool for certain needs. Perhaps a person with ADHD would be a better direct sales person, because they can read body language, scan a room for topics of conversation and opportunity faster than a person without ADHD.
Perhaps we should make sure all of our blitz team members (Car Wash Guys Marketing Teams which set up new territories for franchisees) be diagnosed with ADHD before we hire them? Interesting observation isn't it, maybe a sales career might be perfect for an ADHD individual, as there must be a benefit here and we ought to use these traits to our advantage. If a person with ADHD is said to have learning disorder in school for study and the like, then he or she must have another set of traits that are of benefit somewhere else. Plato wrote about this in The Republic; that each member of a society ought to do what they are best at and be alleviated from responsibility of those things they are not good at, which can be done by others. The individual and the society as a whole gain the most using this methodology.
Why have we not considered this wise advice in our culture? Instead we often put people into jobs they are unsuited for in patience, competence and ability. Who benefits? Would a Football team, which actually wants to win a game do that? After all; the guy with the strong foot and lanky build ought to be the kicker, not a lineman, for he would only be good for one play on the line. Yet we are worried about hurting feelings in the real world and try to make everyone equal, people are not equal. For instance I am a terrible accountant and could be good at that but it would be a living hell for me to try. This would serve no one if I were assigned to that position, would it?
Regarding ADHD maybe we ought to study up on these things, before assigning it as a disorder and putting the kids on Prozac. We should be finding out where the superior traits can do the most good. From our studies of different people we find that lower intelligence levels find themselves happier in repetitive jobs. We know that "A Type" personalities make lousy accountants and do not like fine details. So what do ADHD people have, we know they do not have a lack of intelligence necessarily. So why is it a disorder if the person shows signs of higher intelligence, after all wouldn't that be a sign of strength and a positive attribute?
The ADHD individual may not always score the highest on the English section of the SAT tests, but we know they are not stupid. So take a person who is smart, but fidgety. What would they be most suited for? What do they excel in and what would they be most suited for as an occupation? The ADHD individuals normally do not have the opportunity to get lots of certificates or degrees, they probably hate school. It probably feels like torture for them, so then we should find a need for their genetic make-up and you win, actually we all win. Or we could continue to classify them as an owner of a deficient brain with an insurmountable disorder and then pump drugs into their body to alter the natural flow of their individual thought.
We are not paying attention close enough to the issues of ADHD and Bi-polar disorder, (there is that word again) we do not take into account the incredible amount of prescription drugs being given to our youth like Ridalin (Sp?) and Prozac and their affects on the learning ability of our children and young adults in real terms and actual intelligence levels due underutilized brain power being wasted on mood control and baby-sitting drugs as I call them at this age.
A recent report by Carnegie is interesting in that it talks about the problems of delivering productivity and ethics back to the work place by starting in the schools and in hind sight is a valuable study even though a prediction of the past and a mission for the future may not take into consideration the newest problem of the current decade; that our miss uses of drugs in the brains of our students is hurting our ability to get to that lofty goal. It is very much an optimist approach to rest the bar of productivity, ethics and expectations, yet not very real world in terms of the reality of the overall parents, teachers and publics objectives to over medicate. People just are not too concerned about these issues and we are artificially numbing the brains of millions of students each year calling it a way to calm the unruly, high energy, ADHD, Bi-polar kids. It is a noble and worthy cause to want order in the classrooms and be able to teach larger groups of students, but I do not see the long term benefits of denying what it is to be human and calling much of what is normal behavior a disorder.
There may well be 1-2% which need some type of medication, but in some schools the numbers of medicated kids is 13-17%, that is simply not good for the flow of thought in kids and teens. Middle school reform in today's metro sectors is by far the most difficult challenge. The American School Board Journal also touches on this subject and has a reading recommendation list on these topics of drug use. I believe it is possible to change the direction and current course. I suggest the books;
BAD BOYS-Public Schools in the Making of black Masculinity, by Ann Arnett Ferguson
Accountability in Action-A Blueprint for Learning, by Douglas B Reeves
Conflicting Missions?-Teachers Unions and Educational Reform, by Tom Loveless.
Motivating and Learning Strategies for College Success-A Self-Management Approach, by Myron H Dembo.
- http://www.bcm.tmc.edu/cta/effects.htm (Traumatic Events on Children).
Also a little interesting is the mental health tip by our government:
http://www.nimh.nih.gov/publicat/violence.cfm
The reason we talk about this is because with our car wash fundraisers http://www.carwashguys.com/fund.html we build unity and on the other hand with our Neighborhood Mobile Watch patrol we help put people in jail for crimes. I certainly prefer the first idea better. After all we can build schools now or prisons later. But no matter how many schools you build you must not impede the flow of thought in the minds of kids. This means slowing down their systems artificially when it is not absolutely necessary.
What does Prozac due to kids? Well I suggest you read the book Living on Prozac in case you doubt some of what we are saying here. And it doesn't just stop in schools, 10% of the American Population takes this stuff, it is a consideration. Prozac takes 30 days to start working so obvious it is changing after the chemical reaches critical mass, which means it is changing everything. One Fraternity at a Major Medical College gets lists of females who are taking Prozac so they can date them. The Fraternity has an incredible record stating that 86% of those girls will put out on the first date. So much for these scientific white paper field studies, maybe these guys are on to something? The reasoning seems to point to a drug, which takes the edge off, reduces inhibitions and causes somewhat irrational behavior. Either that or these guys are super studs? You be the judge, but is a drug which causes such behavior worthy of our children?
The human brain generally is fully formed structurally by age 6 (debated in some research), yet there are many kids on mind-altering drugs prior to the age of six, is this wise? So first thing needed in our study of Flow and specifically the flow of thought is to allow the brain to have flow of thought and that starts in the nurturing of our students. Now then drugs are not the only thing we are doing to the human brain which effects thought. We are putting fluoride in our water too. Hitler wanted to do this to numb the minds of the people to keep them from rebelling, the area of the brain which gives you the stick-to-it-ness or will to fight is dissolved by fluoride. http://newsoutpost.com/article731.html .
We use Fluoride in small doses to supposedly help with teeth decay, although it is industrial waste, which during WWII and manufacturing of aircraft we needed to put it somewhere. The biggest problem is the Fluoride is not filtered out downstream, so once it goes through a treatment plant and is discharged into a water way, it flows to the next city, then the next and could be a huge issue at the furthest city downstream. What else do we do? Well Americans consume lots of alcohol, cigarettes and illegal drugs. All of which are killing brain cells and hurting our chances of the benefits of flows of thought within our selves. You can teach people to reason and adapt, memorize and think, but if you limit your brain capacity where are you? How bad is the fluoride? (this topic is highly debated because it does provide help in tooth decay)
How bad is the illegal drug problem here in the US? Very bad and it alters the brain's thought process and causes a problem with human interaction and our natural socializing tendencies. The drugs are so diverse and so plentiful that it touches the lives of nearly every American in some way and certainly nearly every family in this country. http://www.parthe.net/_cwg0703/00000025.htm and we must be honest with ourselves. We have legal drugs, prescription drugs and illegal drugs. Caffeine is a drug that is wide spread in America. The verdict is not completely out now, but what will we learn in the future. We already know that spiders cannot spin a web while under influence of caffeine. What is the Caffeine content in your life? What is going through most American's heads half the day? http://www.fred.net/ultrunr/caffine.html See for yourself.
No wonder people cut you off in traffic, they are in a mad tear to where? In front of you so they can hurry up and wait. Now it appears that kids are using caffeine to get high? In combination with other drugs? Think about this; The "pick me up" that most Americans use to get through the day, wake up in the mourning is penetrating other parts of society. Why? Why would this happen? Well here are some interesting stories of kids using caffeine to get a rush. We have kids taking crystal meth and killing their bodies and becoming very horrible workers as far a responsibility and work ethic go, and when they cannot keep a job and have no money to buy drugs they are trying to duplicate some sort of experience using caffeine. Wow, this is a problem really. Think of all the mood altering drugs being used Prozac one-way, caffeine the other and then all the illegal stuff in between. How is the human brain suppose to operate efficiently and develop normally with all this foreign content with such extreme ratios? Maybe some people ought to figure out a way to reduce this desire for mood enhancement?
There is much information on the Internet about this and perhaps we, as a society should be doing something to help people think about what they are doing to themselves? And to find a reason to live life to its fullest without a mood enhancements. So if we are to have caffeine as a way of life we ought to let people know that the caffeine buzz that kids are trying to get from using it is not all that great. Now this maybe a better stimulate over all to other drugs, but no drugs is the better solution. It would be better for the productivity of America, better for kids and better for long-term health.
We know that ancient cultures and Indians and the like across the globe used such mind-altering drugs to alter their states. Still today in the world we have whole cultures enslaved to drugs of some type. Heroin, Opium, Peyote, Marijuana, Cocaine, it almost appears to be a human issue, a need. Most who study such, believe that since the addictions affect the frontal lobes that it also affects the basic drives of that individual which we have all heard of when individuals will steal from friends and family to obtain more drugs. For mankind to progress we will need to maintain flow of thought in all members of the species. We have failed miserably in this regard. It affects every aspect of our lives and is tough on the business community who needs the employees mind present for productivity.
We need to be cognizant of the effect on the flow of thought in each of individual and how that affects the whole. Drugs change the flow of thought and force it into an unnatural state, which affects the flow of everything else. If we are to decide to allow this, for instance legalize certain drugs such as we have done with caffeine and alcohol then we need to realize that this in fact changes the flow of thought and will change the way mankind interacts. There are other things, which affected the flow of thought in our evolving species. Perhaps some of this is the reason that we evolved in the way we have.
The Wireless revolution is upon us and those of us who are sensitive to frequencies bands will find it difficult to have quality of life in those areas where lots of wireless activity is. A study by three Dutch government ministries found that radio signals for the next generation of mobile phone services can cause headaches and nausea. We have already found this out. But I believe this can be accounted for and corrected by use of intermittent ELF tuned to the body's natural frequency to help the body super charge the immune system. In these particular Wireless study they compared the effects of radiation from base stations used for the current mobile telephone network with the radiation effects of base stations of 3G networks. The study found that the test group exposed to third generation base station signals felt tingling sensations, got headaches, and felt nauseous.
Cognitive functions such as memory and response times were actually boosted by both 3G signals and the current signals. This is interesting and I have found this to be true when I used lots of minutes on my cell phone, especially using a 3 watt phone, before the new systems lowered the power significantly; I had more brain activity. Other studies have recently come out and said that small doses of microwave are actually good for you, of course, long usage can literally cook your brain, not good. And I have found that significant does of caffeine during periods of high cell phone use increased and stimulated brain activity to higher levels of thinking. The body's immune system may move to protect itself and react by thickening to areas that need reinforcement, if that occurs we know that brain density is a positive thing.
The ramifications of the study to Wi-Fi networks is clear: previous research into the health effects of radio frequency radiation always measured the impact of cell phones, which are held close to the head and cause high fields of radiation close to the ear and warming of the brain. I have found that it heated up the cerebellum and thus stimulated the brain, but also could cause headaches, until which time the brain got use to that frequency and perhaps even enjoyed the stimuli and was even able to pick up that signal. Meaning, just seconds before the phone rang the brain felt stimulated, in other words the brain was in fact picking up the signal and for me this even worked when the phone was in the next room. So these studies are correct and the 3D technology and the cognitive enhancement, I can vouch for is real.
The Dutch study, on the other hand, used lower a dose of radiation to mimic base station signals rather than handsets. Handsets emit stronger radiation when they are used, while base stations transmit more constant levels of radio signals, exposing everyone within range. Some are doing this for safety, we are studying this to increase the world knowledge and better the human race and realize that we will soon be able to use this data along with other significant research like this;
Why bother, well think of technologies that can be used to connect the brain to machine, increase our capacity and create artificial life with a soul being a frequency wave of RF, VLF, ELF or microwave. Connecting Man to computer or putting computers in man is almost here: HUD Heads Up Display work is currently being done by the military; http://www.parthe.net/_cwg0803/00000033.htm . The benefit to mankind will be truly significant. The truth is that Arthur C Clark in his short stories talked about groups of people being connected in real time by neuron transmitting devises below the skin. You might even have all the world's knowledge and latest research all in a chip connected to your brain. Instant Messaging is just one step away from actually hooking up to your friends in real time, via electronic brain-computer interface, after all, what is the difference if you abbreviate with your fingers symbols or just send it directly? Flash Mobs of today are already networked groups working together in real time: http://www.parthe.net/_cwg0803/00000060.htm . The "Internet in your head" so you can only imagine the opportunities. Instead of trading MP3 Player music on the Internet, you would be trading experiences in 4D, and thought using Nano-Tech computer which interfaces with the enhanced brain.
You could do real-time research with members of certain groups across the ocean and when someone made a discovery, the time to write the white paper or peer review would be instantaneous. Thus, cutting down the research time to next to zero. If you read certain books such as:
Prescription for the Future-How the Technology is Changing the Pulse of global Health Care, by Moore, Rey, Rollins
and The 500-Year Delta. Too far out for you, well, just imagine what Thomas Jefferson would have thought about computers, space flight or modern medical miracles in his day. Many innovators, scientists and entrepreneurs are working on these issues and you can see where we are headed. Some are worried about this, but I am rather intrigued on the possibilities for the betterment of mankind. Will computers be smarter than humans, the latest estimates are by 2029, but judging by Moore's Law and applying this to the field of Artificial Intelligence, it surely will not be that long. With plug in brain-computer interfaces - Computers and humans will be one in this case, so we will be equal.
Instead of file swapping or file sharing, you will be thought swapping. This will be incredible in that you can swap the thoughts, emotions or experience of someone doing an extreme sport, such as jumping off a bridge with a parachute. People will sell these experiences and the VR world will literally be in your head. Humans are a species, which studies other species that many different types of strategies such as employing ELF to communicate, use radar and sound to navigate, use all sorts of interesting methods to identify and protect themselves. But humans will finally get well beyond the communication skills, which are made through the larynx, in many ways this was surpassed a long time ago.
What an incredible leap brain-computer interface will be for mankind. Is mankind ready for these new opportunities and horizons; will we use this for the positive or the negative. It may well depend on our ability to allow the flow of thought, while simultaneously allowing a private place in our minds which will not be shared, that which makes us ourselves. In other words, we will once again get back to the tribe, society, which currently we are drifting from. Humans are social animals no doubt and derive happiness from that sense of belonging; it appears to be an innate tendency. Sharing thoughts and ideas allows for this, as it delivers to the human race; a completeness, a oneness. If you look at a Bee Hive, those bees are quite content to service to the hive and are willing to sacrifice self to do so. Imagine now a human race which works together in a Capitalistic system for the benefit of the individual, "you" in that private place in your mind which becomes self fulfilled by helping others by sharing knowledge and promoting self by that feeling of doing good and helping.
The flow of thoughts in this regard is wonderful, uninhibited instant communication. You would not give up self, but you could share that which makes you, you with whoever you wished. You could instantly communicate with all the people in the world who loved jet skiing and if they wished to, they could communicate back. Well you can imagine that there would be no more wars and if you transferring thoughts they are a universal language so that would not be an issue although those who think in terms of words would be understood since you have all the world's knowledge in a chip. When you were ready to perish, you could transfer all your experiences in 4D to your offspring, so they would not make the same mistakes that you felt you did. Think of the benefit to mankind if everyone who died and all their worldly knowledge was saved forever? Now this is what the future will be at our present rate and realize that science is moving in this direction.
With all the Bio-metrics work being done we will see the merging of information and cognitive abilities go hyperbolic in the human brain. This is good in that it will increase The Flow of Thought. Anytime you increase the flow, you increase efficiency.
This concludes the end of Part I of The Flow of Thought Essay. In Part II of The Flow of Thought we discuss Memorization, Freedom of Thought, Creative Thinking Environments and a bit of Philosophy.
