The Bomb In The Brain

This is amazing.

Stephan Molyneux is a philosopher who uses philosophy to dissect what may be wrong with the world. He has some very interesting ideas, not all of which I agree with, but I must concede that he has spent a lot more time thinking about all this than I have. He is an anarchist, I am not. Given this information I can see his ideas more clearly. Molyneux has an Masters degree in philosophy from McGill in Montreal Canada.

He has a series of videos that suggest that many of our problems arise out of the fact that we are not reasonable as human beings. He has shown this to be true in the past. His very well backed up hypothesis is that early childhood abuse causes brain damage and the damaged brain is managed by amygdala, the actual reasoning part of the brain is run by ideologies rather than reason in the case of these brain damaged individuals. The book, "Political Ponerology" says the same thing with respect to soldiers damaged by fascism, interestingly enough. This book just keeps on coming up as I read and learn about all of this.

The system is built to put people in jail and punish them for what may be mental illness that could possibly be cured through therapy and excercise. But the Western system seems intent on locking people up. The reason for this, IMO, is that it generates waste and keeps the people down, under the thumb of the rulers which is a first priority in an authoritarian based system. We live under soft fascism, which is authoritarian but by means of propaganda rather than direct physical force.

Part 4, which is about 1/2 hour long is most interesting. If you don't have time for the whole thing, just watch part 4. Part 3 is a close second. Parts 1 & 2 are not nearly as important, but part 1 has some very interesting statistics. The stats are all around the ACE score, based on ten questions. You can do the test at http://www.acestudy.org/index.html.
