I have written on this many times, tho prob as @rycharde. I think it is all deeply depressing, and at the species level. The human brain is just not designed to be a "truth seeker", it is just designed to avoid death - it is an expedient-engine. A world-view need not have any contacts with external reality, so long as it is not immediately self-harming (even then, suicide cults are a counter example). It just takes way too much energy to constantly monitor reality - very few people seem able to do that as their normality - very few, and not enough. Put another way, the belief-engine is more efficient than a truth-engine - it just happens to be wrong and dangerous.

The Function of the Fake Binary
I've come to this from a mixture of philosophy and physics, but there is research to back this up. Making decisions is energy-expensive, so best avoided - most decisions are "precog", meaning the person has not made a conscious rational decision, but the decision has been taken and the reasons are post hoc - or nothing more than rationalised excuses. Only when there is no obvious choice does consciousness seem to step in - and even then, it is better to fit in with one's existing paradigm than to really think clearly and deeply about a choice.
As said above, in really condensed form, the belief-engine is more energy efficient than the truth-engine, therefore it usually wins by default. I cannot shake the feeling that this is deeply pathetic and extinction-level or tyranny-inducing stupidity.
Perhaps because it is for the most part on auto-pilot. It reminds me of Bruce Lipton's work on the Biology of Belief. Control belief and you control perception, and hence action, reaction or inaction.
Maybe I should read that.
Not sure if "control" is the right word though - as in "to control belief" - it strikes me as easier to be in perpetual disbelief (the good scientist) than to feel as if one is in constant battle against encroaching fideism.
However, that chain from belief to perceptions to actions is true.
I would highly, highly recommend it! Bruce Lipton is a real pioneer; the kind that got kicked out of his field for asking too many uncomfortable questions, and worse, scientifically demonstrating new answer concerning cellular biology! I'll try to send you a copy here:
THE BIOLOGY OF BELIEF
If that doesn't work, maybe you can suggest an alternative way to send it to you.
Thanks - even with the link, I still need to request permission to access.
nvm - found it here = https://en.th1lib.org/book/1244021/c5142c
Indeed, one big problem with a digital library is forgetting one has books that need reading - maybe after the third download!! lol.
Yeah, all that knowledge does exist - and continues to be ignored - I started writing a book on the Physics of Mind - was a bit of a blow as my main contact passed away soon after (no cause and effect, I trust). I myself try to steer away from quantum woo and focus on a much ignored subject, in public: electromagnetism. The sending and receiving of signals will be a quantum process, but the signal itself will be electromagnetic. Even simple cellular interactions look like different flows of electrons, changes in states, and thus EM in nature. "Quantum" is not a thing, it is an adjective, describing that nature at the atomic level is discrete - wavicles!
One rarely mentioned consequence of drowning in a microwave soup is the effects on our electromagnetic body - to say it doesn't affect us is deeply stupid and I know is a con, coz science journalists were briefed way back in about 2000 to NEVER mention resonance effects of EMFs - thermal effects is a huge red herring dangled in front of an ignorant public.
Voice to skull tech uses microwaves!!
BTW here is the 10th Anniversary edition, with plenty of new research paper = https://en.th1lib.org/book/13665105/19b040
Thanks, but that was exactly the edition I was trying to share with you! 😉
Jaysus! 🤪 I have over 2,000 eBooks in my digital archive! I didn't know about this site you are recommending, which is now troubling for me, as I know that I will now find myself downloading another 2,000! 🤣
By the way, I was able to grad a copy of POLITICAL PONEROLOGY: A science on the nature of evil adjusted for political purposes from that site, and I saw that the editor, and author of the preface, is Laura Knight-Jadczyk; are you familiar with her work? I'm a huge fan and follower for many years now!
What do you consider quantum woo?
Physics of Mind? Did you scrap that project, or simply put it on hold?
That's a very fascinating insight! I'll have to reflect on that, thanks!
