Unfortunately, technically speaking, this doesn’t solve anyone’s problems. Everyone’s looking for answers. Rules are made to be made irrelevant. We float loftily across the spectrum, given the limitations of our personal biohardware.

Stress sucks, especially when applied over a long period of time. Evolution, blah, blah; fight or flight; adrenalin and corticoids. Empirically speaking, it’s beginning to look like continuous exposure to stress kills. Even if it doesn’t kill you stress will make your body and mind worse off in the long run. Contributed to and caused by are really not all that different; they both suck when applied to a negative thing.

Why do we as a subgroup (i.e., humans who are physically smaller, less imposing, less aggressive, less gifted in the secondary sexual characteristics category, etc.) accept it when the dominant subgroups mistreat us verbally and psychologically, especially on a professional level? In monkeys, that’s because some monkeys are of higher status due to their physical characteristics; they just get to do whatever the heck they desire. But, I’m sure much to the delight of most evolution deniers, we are not monkeys. We have logic and the ability to express ourselves with a sniper’s precision. We, as humans, for the most part, know what’s right and what’s wrong—even the “bad” and “mean” people do for the most part. We have to follow laws and rules, written and unwritten.

There are so many good candidate answers to this basic question. I’m sure that some people will say that our behavior is a vestige from our genetic history. This explanation is completely logically and empirically self-consistent, but it somehow feels incomplete nonetheless. It’s too early to close the case on this one. We don’t have to choose this reactionary behavior that causes stress. It’s outdated and improper on several levels. Others will probably deny that this kind of behavior even exits in the more gifted primates and humans. In this case, there is really nothing that can be done about our situation in a vis-à-vis kind of understanding. We’re simply too far apart to understand each other.

Realizing that you’re being bullied, whether it’s physically or psychologically, is a lot like realizing you’re dreaming while you sleep. In both cases I (as I’m sure you also) am compelled to take over. And why shouldn’t I? It’s my dreams and my life.

This kind of discussion is far too meta for some people, myself sometimes included. Talking about the man behind the curtain whilst you are him, but he controls you and someone else potentially controls him, is not always pleasurable and fulfilling.

With Facebook, I get my notifications immediately. How about perhaps having the ability to send myself notifications about possible, pending transactions? Don’t I have the right to know when some merchant or even thief thief out there initiates a withdrawal of my money? Can we make these notifications be instantaneous too? I don’t think I have to convince anyone that knowing something like this two days earlier helps remediate it.

This isn’t that much to ask; I have checked. Banks should be tripping over themselves right now. Instead, they keep doing less over time with the same uninspired attitude. “Take a picture of your check to deposit your check! Hurray!” I don’t mean to be rude, but, really? Come on! This kind of idea was out in the aether years ago. You could have brainstormed and predicted this almost a decade ago! Congratulations on finally getting this feature, but realize that this should be but a stepping stone to reaching excellency.

The time will come when traditional banks get a quite literal run for their money after *the next big micro-banking thing* comes to the fore. Then it will be too late to react; banks will suffer losses, a rare occurrence to be sure.

Hey, banks, what’s up? What are you going to do? If you need us, you need to put in a better effort.

I’m mostly in accord with the aforementioned thinking. Those explanations are satisfactory. I have a gut feeling that the reason why we think we’re the only intelligence around is because we, by design, only understand our own kind of intelligence. You know, the root of all epistemology, the question of how we know what we know. We have built a reasonable shared belief system, based on things like, “I think, therefore I am,” or hell, even, “I am, therefore I think.” Living day-to-day, we think we have it nailed or try to ignore the thought, but deep down, we realize that no one knows “for sure.” Ultimately that can be because to know “for sure” could mean not being alive  and transmitting this knowledge “back,” or somehow having this knowledge from a different avenue altogether. There are many people who claim both gifts, but even if they are indeed telling the truth, verifying it would present an even greater challenge, because, again, this “truth having” is oil to logic’s and empiricism’s water.

But that’s not what I’m writing about here. I’m writing about comic books. In them there is sometimes a power which grants the possessor the ability to inherit, learn or absorb (ILA) other characters’ powers, sometimes ending up with all of the powers and sometimes only being able to hold on to the last inherited power. There are many variations on this theme, but I’m only interested in one: the power to learn powers by understanding them, a la bad guy, turned good, turned bad guy from the TV show Heroes, also known as Sylar.

What I mean is actually not as provocative is may sound from my dumb super power logic. I’m simply suggesting that, if true, Gardner’s theory of MI should include an intelligence, which, quite simply has the ability to understand other intelligences. If true, it will be to everything as empathy is to emotional intelligence.

The rich want to stay rich and in power. They are, however, unfortunately also tied to their current paradigms, vis-à-vis their understanding of the inner-workings of the world. They don’t realize that the world has moved on and that the only reason they’re still relevant is because of their interest and their resources. They go out of their way to shape reality, which is, in itself, a losing proposition resource-wise. In the long run you can only control so much before you run out of resources. Movies like Equilibrium are but fractal reflections of the current reality. Plus, what does suppressing emotions have to do with stopping wars and achieving order?

The poor go with the flow, realizing that the flow is one of the most powerful things in the world. They are simply joining the avalanche of change. They are finely etching minor changes in the faces of change and future joined together. The flow can be anything you want it to be; it can be truth, logic, evolution, and more.

The poor and eager fight the rich and lazy (due to current inevitable and ultimately predictable disinterest) for a while, meanwhile everyone eventually realizing the inevitable outcome of the battle. The reason for this is, simply, time and change. The rich and powerful are never powerful enough to shape the future fully. The future always wins because it has the advantage of being both wise and innocent. This is the stuff forthright people give their lives for, literally.

There are always casualties during the fight between the rich and the poor. Knowing the future and going with it is dangerous because of the fact that survival instinct makes and rich dangerous on their way down. Think resources coupled with a strict, but outdated, view of the world. How many high level career executives actually research their fields and know what the cool people are doing? As an aside, cool people are sometimes also complete jackasses, so don’t think I’m secretly in love with said cool people. But let’s not hate the individual for a single feature of theirs. If all people thought like that society and humanity would have died off long ago. If you go far enough back, you’ll realize that the only way to survive was to stick together. We are and have always been stronger together. 20 people with a mission they all deeply believe in are in some ways an immense force. In wars it’s other the high target precision operations that determine the outcomes. Precision requires communication; a small force is required. Now imagine multiple such teams and networks all working together0–that’s the face of change.

So I started observing life, looking for more information. Men did seem happier with a partner. But they seemed to be much, much unhappier if their relationships were not working. So, happy wife, happy life could that mean men can only reach their real peaks with an understanding and supportive partner? That’s not entirely true, as many successful men never had the pleasure to have an understanding and supportive partner, you may think. To that, I say, your vision of what may be acceptable in this regard could be narrow or distorted.

“They say behind every great man there’s a woman.”

Question everything, even this blog post, its contents, logic, grammar, whatever, everything, anything, nothing. Just don’t be an ass about the way you live your live, or at least try not to be an ass; you will not have a quarrel with me, ever. I promise.

How does this thinking archetype fit into the gfte? In my opinion, archetypes, all or at least most, are simply expressions of truth/experience. I use the terms interchangeably sometimes. No one can question your EXPERIENCE, hence it is by definition your TRUTH about life. Keep in mind that extreme analogies are not welcomed here. I can give you an extreme analogy where even physics breaks down.

According to my view of the gfte, the brain is functionally separated into 3 parts. We have the right brain, the left brain and the inner-brain communication highway. The right brain and the left brain handle everything we see, hear, imagine, etc. The inner-brain communication highway is a way for the right and left brain to share information. All elements of the system are largely self-sufficient and independent by design. People can function largely unimpeded on a day-to-day basis with only the right or the left side of their brains (note: left/right brains refer to function, not necessarily physical location). The left brain is very logical and fact oriented. It’s the brain mode people usually use in schools and other learning environments. The right brain is the emotional brain; it is responsible for figuring out where we belong in the world, how we stand in the great hierarchy of life, and what’s “right” and “wrong.” People with well developed right brains are not only creative, but are also usually also very mature. People with good right brains are good things happen to them. They don’t usually brag or talk about just how mature they are, of course, for that negates it.

Most of what I’ve written above is just common knowledge. What makes it special is the framework I have used to extract the information. I’m still working on purifying the framework and breaking it down to its essentials so that they can become the self-evident axioms of the framework.

The disease did not call themselves a disease; they were simply know as the t’uh. The t’uh were the end result of a long chain of t’uhs with lower intelligence and then also lots of things before that. Some of the t’uh were sometimes magnificent to the point where they somewhat resembled their host. This made the host love the t’uh even more.

Eventually the t’uh figured out that their host was not all that there was. They figured out that they were in fact almost 15 billion light years away from the “center” of the universe, eventhough calling it that is a huge, huge oversimplification (i.e., incorrect).

The t’uh then quickly realized their general purpose for existence. As the t’uh were getting better and better, their host was getting sicker and sicker. Exactly as the t’uh realized that they were killing their host, their host finally chose to fully reveal itself to the t’uh. The host told the t’uh that they were loved and then died. Saddened, every t’uh chose to be his or her own host and die of the same fate as the original host. But that’s a different story.

Meanwhile, an unimaginable amount of distance away, a proton had its own experience, not even knowing what had happened with the electron.

That’s the general idea here for me. The purpose of this blog is so that similarly-minded people will be able to find me and communicate with me. Also, the purpose of this blog is so that much smarter people can tell me why I am full of it and challenge me to defend my ideas. That’s the only way I can ever be sure that I’m not just thinking up something I’m not smart enough to personally challenge.

Edit: Fixed wording.

This is how it all got started for me. Today is the day I realized what I’ve been struggling with, mostly, in my life. I’ve been waiting to realize this. I’ve been wondering why I felt like something was alluding me for such a long time. Today is the day when I finally understood the emotional side of things. A good way to express this idea is to say: Hey man, do you realize that there is a co-exiting, differently thinking species next to us called women? They’re always there and for good reason; they’re magnificent and amazing, duh! It’s my theory that both men and women bring exactly 50% to the human condition. Both men and women are a ultimately right in what they deeply believe. I think that with this understanding, we can bring forth the best in the human species. Now imagine just how creepy what I wrote could be if only a few words are changed. This is the fractal nature of what life is and how it should be understood. Another expression of the theory is: mind and body. It’s really that simple and complex as the same time, depending on how you choose to see it.

This is my story as recorded by me with as much detail as my waking psyche allows. This is only currently the grand fractal theory of everything (gfte, please do not capitalize this acronym), the theory will naturally grow in detail and it will be simply amazing. It will be everything and nothing as the same time. Don’t ever assume that there is a final grand theory of everything; you will be sorely, sorely, sorely mistaken. If you realize what this theory truly is, you also know that there is no final theory.

If there is something here that you don’t see, but would like to have been, I’m sorry, I probably wasn’t at your level yet. Now, you, my friend, are probably much smarter than I could ever imagine.
