Herbivore vs Omnivore.

In this day and age vegetarianism is believed to hold more health benefits than staying an omnivore.
However, the human species was evolved with the ability to consume both plant matter and animal matter. Ancient ancestors - the hunter/gatherer type suits this omnivore lifestyle. This is due to meat being higher in protein and energy which would have to be required to hunt the animal in the first place (as for hunters). But sometimes suitable prey is not always found and so it is easier to look for fruits and edible plant matter (as for gatherers).

Basically you expend more energy and as a result can obtain more energy at a time. This can be seen in nature with herbivores and carnivores. Many Herbivores spend the whole day eating - a constant energy gain and release (moving around slowly looking for food) while carnivores can chase after prey and gain a large amount of energy while expending alot of energy to chase their prey.

However, in today's so called 'civilized society' generally, we gain alot more energy than we expend. Of course this results in many health problems such as obesity and cancers or other illnesses. Eating meat without hunting for it in the first place is a great way to get obese - unless you have a way to use the energy obtained (physical exercise etc). Because plant matter has less energy that can be obtained than animal matter, vegetarianism is much more suitable for people who dont expend as much energy as ancestral hunters which is the majority of society now. The rise of obesity is expected as more people are less active due to the convenience of technology and simply there being too much food available in certain parts of the world.
If humans were to return to ancient ancestral ways, obesity would not be a problem anymore and the people that survive will be more fit and healthy that many people of today (although if today's society suddenly had to resort to hunter/gatherer tendencies i think half the worlds population would probably die - just goes to show how weak the human race has become).

I am aware that survival rate of hunters/gatherers is probably somewhere around 50-70% but at least the weak are left out of the gene development so that a stronger human race can continue to develop.

Free Will

What is free will ?

The ability to make your own decisions ?
The ability to think freely, without an external influence ?

I think we dont have as much free will as we think we do.

1. Animal instincts.
This will be a list of things that are instinctive to humans, as in somewhat difficult to overcome with willpower or things do automatically without thinking.


-Fight or Flight
-Hunger
-The urge to reproduce (males)
-The motherly instinct, caring for young (females)
-The Fear of Dying
-Staying with your own kind
-Adapting to environments

Hmm... im sure theres more, but i cant remember right now.

2.Influences when we're young
We are easily impressionable when we are young. The younger we are, the more impressionable. Lets say religions, if your taught them from since you were a baby, it would underlie all your thinking and be very hard to get rid of. Even past events may have changed some person in some way to make them react differently to another situation. Depending on how you have been taught, or how people have treated you, you can also act accordingly. Whatever determines your habits and personality depends partially on these influences.


3. Genes
I've noticed that your parents also largely determine your personality, like if your Father and mother is fairly passive, you are also likely to be passive. Obviously more seen in physical appearance though. It also seems to determine your intelligence or other mannerisms.


AFter all that , free will is not as free as it sounds like it should be. What if all these influences were removed ? Whould we be lifeless, devoid of any personality or thinking ? Or would we be the first to think freely and take on the world from nothing but your own perspective.

We are all products of our past.

Heaven and Hell

The existance of heaven and/or hell has been disputed between atheists and religious people for a long time. However, from my logic, i find a slightly different case.

1. Hell

Hell is supposed to be the place where you get punished for your sins through torturous ways. However, we all have the ability to adapt- it is hardwired into all of us. This would result in adapting to the constant pain and suffering depicted in hell. People would get used to the pain - like a battle hardened warrior, and hell would become much less effective. Also, after spending a long time in hell, you would result in becoming pessimistic if your not a moron. This would also make the torture less effective. If hell cant do all these things, then it cant exist.

Actually the closest thing to hell would be where people could get dissapointed continually - which in order of that to happen , something has to bring their spirits up before it comes crashing down again. This of course, is known as planet Earth today.

2. Heaven

Heaven is supposed to be where everyone can coexist happily together for very long , if not infinite amounts of time. I find that this is impossible as everyone has their own different versions of heaven and no one thing can satisfy everyone. If people have to change values , to get into heaven, then it cant possibly be a heaven worth going to.

If heaven were to exist, it would be a massive illusion where everything seems to work your way while every person is actually fake. Everyone would have their own versions of heaven to go to. We wouldnt be able to tell the difference if we're dead. If you ask me, a heaven without some real people (resulting in conflicts and becomeing not heaven) cant be any heaven i can imagine.

To summarise, there cant be a real heaven and hell, there is only this reality which is a mixture of both. It has its bad points and it has its good points. I really cant picture them separated.

(On a later note) I still must consider the opposite though (to be fair), there is much unknown about the universe, other dimensions and other things, so anything is possible, even if only in our dreams.

Luck (its about time)

Luck should be shared equally throughout ones life as well as through the world.
When i say luck, i mean good fortune, and when i say bad luck , i mean bad fortune.
For example ... Lets say someone has really bad luck one day. Then , there would either have been good luck previously , or good luck will soon come.
Unfortunately, its difficult to say when an incident of good luck will balance out an incident of bad luck or if its already been balanced out.
Heres my observations:
1. Someone who wins the Lotto usually has some drawback or other afterwards. This could include being robbed because everyone knows you have alot of money or even a family dispute over who actually won the money.
2. You find money some time in your life, then you lose some money in your life.

Im not saying that you'd get good luck in the same form the bad luck was in , (finding . then losing money etc), it usually is in another form.

Also, the incident of good luck might not be visible, like being unaware that you narrowly missed dying etc.

Other peoples bad luck can also cause bad luck or good luck to other people. E.g A car crash delaying a schools starting time to the kids delight :D

Due to the inability to monitor everyones lives at once and see if luck is actually shared equally , my theory cant be disproven =D

This way of thinking however, may trigger optimism when bad things happen and pessimism when good things happen though.

But what it does do is get rid of the belief that ones life can be all good or all bad, if someones life seems too good to be true, you probably dont know about the person enough.

It also reduces jealousy because if something good happens to someone else , you can count on that something bad has happened or will happen so everyone is equal , even to the one who has nothing happen to them.

The Placebo Effect

Most people have heard of the placebo effect, but why does it happen ?

In most cases, simply believing that you will get better from a sickness actually does help you get better.
My explanation is that we do actually sub-conciously control our so called 'automatic functions' like the immune system in this case. When you think you'll get better, you make your immune system work harder to rid the sickness. To what extent i do not know of, but im sure it would work for other systems in your body.

One thing is for sure is that we do control our bodies more than we think we do. A large percentage of the brain seems to be unused for most of the time. Perhaps this part of the brain is used for controlling the normally automatic processes in the body ? Who knows. It may be discovered one day to be completely different.

To sum this up, The placebo effect can be extended to my theory that
'We can sub-conciously control our own normally automatic functions' but should not have a very large effect without the obvious actions that can be done to improve bodily functions.

E.g balanced diet = better immune system and other things
E.g Some sort of exercise = higher muscle development

So basically, positive thinking towards health actually does help the body in some way, but towards other things , it would be an entirely different matter.

The Meaning Of Life

The meaning of life has been questioned by many people.

And I have an answer to it.


Note: If you dont believe in the Theory of Evolution, then your either retarded or ignorant. (Theres just so much damn evidence that just works with everything)



Lets Take a look at Nature first of all.

Life first appeared about 3.4 billion years ago.
It has evolved and survived to this very day.
Well, most of the life anyway.

The Meaning of Life is to survive, and pass our genes to the next generation.

This makes sense considering all the trouble nature goes to to make sure that it still exists.
Why else would there be natural selection ?
The Weakest Die first.
The Strong/surviving pass their genes to the next generation.
This produces generations that get stronger and more survivable by the generation.
So nature gets more adaptable to suit the Earths changing environment.

This meaning of life is most evident what observing animals.
The Gift of intelligence messes with the system and allows the weak to survive.

Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind - for the good of the human race.

EDITING IN PROGESS . . . . (I have found an importance for intelligence)

Balances

LOOK AT GOOGLE









Now back on Topic.

Balances between things seem to make it more fair.
Balances of opposing things such as light and darkness seem to also make sense.
Upsetting a balance will only lead to destruction .... or mass boredom...
An example is the balance between the rate of births to deaths - currently there are more births than deaths.

And what is one of the biggest problems facing the world today ?

OVERPOPULATION.

If there werent so many people being born in harsh conditions in africa, there wouldnt be those ' starving children'.
Just Existing for a short amount of time before starving to death and dying ?
Their better off not existing - im sure they'll agree... unless we did offer some help.
But we cant help everyone.

Now back to the subject.
OVERPOPULATION

There are simply too many people.
The Earth cant handle it.
Nature cant handle it.
And if the problem isnt fixed soon the human race will die out.

There are too many people living, so the death rate would be increased.
Nature helps keep things in balance.
But the human race as a whole, it destroying it to selfishly preserve their own lives.
Luckily the Earth can compensate.
More people everywhere = more people affected by natural disasters = more dead.

However , the human race prevails .
So what does the earth do ?
It just so happens that the cycle of global warming is back.
WHICH MEAN MORE WEATHER RELATED NATURAL DISASTERS =D =D =D =D

No im not a sadist.
Its just that for anything that happens , good and bad things come from it.

Example.

Person Dying:
The good: The persons corpse can provide nutrients for new life to grow.
The Bad: A Person Dead obviously.
Note: The advent of coffins make it very difficult for the human body to decompose and feed new life..

Another Example:

A Person Being Born
The Good: New Life ... obviously
The Bad: Yet another strain on the earths resources. High chance of the person destroying nature in some way or another.

However , Killing people is natures job.
So it doesnt mean that you can kill people for the good of the human race.

I actually have went off topic.
I was meant to be typing about luck.

Damn i went way off. o_O

This May be controversial - Religion

Being somewhat in between aethiest and religious , i can look at religions at a different perspective.

The most common religions all seem to do one thing - tell people to be good.

They mainly say that if your good, you'll go to heaven or some other reward like heaven. Every religion has their own name for it.

It cannot be determined if it exists or not.

However , how many people do good deeds for the religious benefit or simply because its the right thing to do ?

I wonder.

Religions still have achieved making the human race , in general , more good.

What i dont get is if the religion's purpose if to make people do good , why did it result in religious wars in the past and still arguments between religion that happen today ?

Too bad most people dont follow their religion properly.

As for me , I dont need a religion top give me reason to do good.
Ill follow my own beliefs and see what life has to offer me.
I dont need to be bribed to do good.

The very brief Theory of Light and Darkness

First of all , I did not rip this idea off KH - KH just has some good philophies that i agree with.

Also , i wont be saying much about this theory works , because its too extensive and cant be trusted on the internet.

Its not like ill forget it anytime soon anyway =D

Lets just say that Light and Darkness or good and evil or other anologies ( i cant spell -_-) cant exist without the other.

The yin & yang symbol makes alot of sense here.

Thats all ill say here .

If others know too much about someone , they could use how the person thinks or other weaknesses against them.

And i dont want to reveal my weaknesses , it just gives others the opportunity to exploit it.

If you want to know my weaknesses , im going to have to trust you ALOT first o_O

First Idea - Other Worlds/ Entertainment

I might as well put this here, considering that ive had this idea for a while now.

The idea is :

People watch/read/play movies/novels/stories/anime/games because they are bored with their lives or dislike it.

When people watch a movie and immerse themselves into another world they temporarily forget about their real lives. It also explains why people get pissed when the real world interrupts a movie.

Alot of people generally find the entertainment the only thing to look forward to in their lives. From this i would say that the worlds seen in forms of entertainment are more interesting than the real lives.

Also the type of entertainment that a person view may also indicate what a person wants more out of life. E.g A person who watches alot of action movies will most likely want more action in their own lives.

However, would life be worth living without these forms of entertainment ? Or would people follow their wildest dreams with this world ending up completely different as we know it? However , i suppose the entertainment lets up simulating our dreams without getting hurt or much negative consequences.

Thats basically it .
If you havent realised already , i have really bad english when it comes to explaining things like this.
If i read it again in maybe a month i probably wont be able to understand it unless i still remember my original ideas -_-


On a later note, this is actually part of the concept of Escapism - which i never heard of until much later after this post was originally typed. Hooray for realising it on my own.
Surprising how much society strives to escape society o_O

First Post o_O

Note: If you find out this site exists , POST COMMENTS SO I CAN SEE WHO ACTUALLY READS IT.
And maybe you can point out anything wrong with my theories - Maybe ill fix it up.


I have never seen this blog posting thing before o_O

As indicated in the URL i forget why i was actually going to make this.

I must have had a good reason, and ill probably find out sooner or later -_-

I have noticed that many people use blogs as a kind of online diary, which means that any random person can find out your whole life without even meeting or knowing you.
I will do no such thing, nor will i post regularly.

Im going to use this to shove ideas or concepts that i get onto an easily accessable area - so i dont forget. And i cant be bothered making it private or then id have to log in to check up on my ideas.

How rigged . You can follow your own blogs o_O

Also , i can hear my downloading from my speakers. Well, the static anyway.

Btw , ignore the overuse of o_O or -_- in this and future (if any) blogs.


Err..... END POST
