A while back, we chatted about how you the person is just a piece of software that is an interface for the rest of the silent mind to the world.

One of the consequences of this is that most of the learning we go through is not so much learning but closer to calibration of a neural network in a process that happens to the silent mind beyond our control.

And, our job as the software located in the pre-frontal cortex is to provide a firewall against new information and to justify the opinion that our silent brains have already made.

Scroll through an entire thread of software located in the pre-frontal cortex work it's way through justifying what their silent brains already believe and simultaneously act as a firewall against any new information.

We do that here as well. However, what is fascinating is that once you apply a different visual model and use different labels for a conversation where everyone yelling is basically just ignorant, it become REALLY engaging because you can start to see the mechanics of their neural networks actually do the work. Where we used to think people were just ignorant, we now can see it as a normal survival mechanism of a neural network built for a hyper social animal living in a really complicated world.

It also gives as unsights in to how to actually change peoples minds. And, it isn't by conversation.

To your point, we dominate everywhere we go, so they can only keep us from taking over by keeping us out of the structures.

However, the lesson that I am taking away is something like this:

%30 percent of the population (at least) would have no problem killing the rest of the population as long as they are told they are good and they are safe.

%30 percent of the population is indifferent and doesn't care. They would watch as the %30 pecent kills everyone as long as they don't come for them.

%30 percent of the population is hard core dedicated to their beliefs and cannot be changed.

The rest, I don't know. But there is a spectrum that kind of groups something like that.

The other piece of the puzzle is that most of our brain is silent and best thought of as a neural network that doesn't so much as learn but self calibrates. It caliberates all the time silently without us being in control of it.

So, if I try to put all of that together, the people that control the media and power structures are the people that set the values and belief systems of most of civilization because people in that structure will just on board those value systems, especially if those value systems work to better their lives. The idea is for us to be the last %30 percent, take over the media and systems of control and the other %30 groups will just follow.

It's always a tenuous situation though.

That is my thinking on the subject.
