  "LIves" don't seem to matter very much, unless Humans are directed to focus their attentions to a Cause........The Cause, becoming Fashion....then, discarded, later, like a shirt with the 'wrong' collar or last year's Pop Music, with big hair, shoulder pads and the same old notes......Humanity's changes are not any faster than the evolution of Thinking and Sentiment.......Compassion may be more a social trending.....Everyone really just wants to pet the fluffy kittens and darling doggies.......

HUERISTIC ASSIMILATION SIMULATION: STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF HUMAN'S SMELLING ONE ANOTHER'S PITS AND CRACKS....

Image
The results , taking into consideration Human's relatively weak sense of smell, compared to most other creatures,  of the   " Smell of Age: Perception and Discrimination of Body Odors of Different Ages"  tests were first converted to percentage correct values to allow the use of inference statistics on the underlying binary scale. To assess whether discrimination performance within each odor category differed from chance (50%), we used individual one-sample Student’s  t -tests of percentage correct discrimination values. Differences in perceptual ratings were analyzed using mixed, repeated-measurements ANOVAs, separately for intensity and pleasantness, using a 2 (participant sex) ×3 (donor age group) ×2 (donor sex) design. Participant sex was entered as a between-subject factor, and donor age group and donor sex were used as within-subject factors. Subsequent Bonferroni posthoc tests were performed to statistically assess differences beyond main effects to contr...

USE IT.....or LOSE IT.......AS NEURAL PLASTICITY POTENTIALITIES WITHER AND VANISH, DUE TO LACK OF UTILIZATION AND NEURAL REINFORCEMENT.......

  AN INFANT IS BORN WITH MORE NEURAL CONNECTION POSSIBILITIES THAN THERE ARE STARS IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE.......THOSE THAT ARE NOT REINFORCED, BY UTLIZATION, ARE 'DELETED'......ABSORBED.....FORGOTTEN........THIS LEAVES THE EMERGING, MORE 'FIXED' BRAIN CIRCUITRY, HAVING FORMED THE SAME PATHWAYS AS OTHER HUMANS......AND A SUSEPTABILITY TO CONFORMITY AND FIXED MINDSETS AS HUMANS BECOME MORE AND MORE LIKE ONE ANOTHER......."SEEING" AND "HEARING"...AND "BELIEVING" AS OTHERS DO, THE MINISCULE PARTS OF "REALITY' THAT THEY 'BELIEVE'....' THE 'DOGMA' ....  TO BE 'REAL' .....   

FLEISCHERIAN BRAINWASH - Bimbo's Initiation - 1931

Bimbo, the first cinematic "Manchurian Candidate"....... Premise: when sufficient stress is introduced, just about anyone will develop a delusional, conciliatory escape mechanism, even though it may be but a "Catch 22"...This power of Propaganda can make green eyes pink and enemies of those who love and cherish us....AND produce the worship of dictators, revenants of old evils, new icons that are but Old Gods in disguise, and groups and sects that we are conditioned to believe, to whom we willingly subscribe, and for whom we relinquish both free will and subvert rational thinking.......

WHILE  MOST OF MY CONTEMPORARY MALE FRIENDS HAD BOWLS OF WHEATIES .... 'BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS'.. .....  AND RICE KRISPIES WERE, THEN, FOR KIDS !   CONFORMITY TO ADVERTISING PROSPECTI, ENGINEERED BY MERCHANDISING PSYCHOLOGISTS,  FOOD ENGINEERS, GRAPHIC ARTISTS AND 'BIG BUSINESS' HAS, ALWAYS, DETERMINED THE COURSES OF HUMANS AS THEY EMERGE INTO THE WORLDS OF GREY-FLANNELED SUITS AND THEIR EMOTIONALLY-SECURE EXPECTATIONS OF 'NORMALITY'...... ["BE A 'CLEAVER'.....NOT A HEATHEN BEATNIK] ....AND, DEFINITELY, NOT GAY" ....THE ADS AFFIRM..TO THE WATCHING EYES AND LISTENING EARS OF THE GULLIBLE, WHITE-PICKET-FENCED  CONFORMISTS........O.K., WALLY.....NO MORE PINK SOCKS......WE'RE 'GOING COLOR' NEXT SEASON........AND EVERYONE WILL 'SEE'!  

WHAT GOOD IS IT TO HOP THE BUS AFTER YOU'VE SLASHED ITS TIRES!

The World has always been a product of Slavery and the control and manipulations of those who create, then enforce the Laws that sustain and perpetuate this Culture......Even "If" the World's Races were totally amalgamated into ubiquitous greyness, new divisiveness would eventually and perpetually evolve, for that is the Way of Nature......the survival of the "US" and the subjugation of the 'THEM"...."Black Power" evolved as a means to allay the 'White" superstructure of Western Civilization, then fixated as 'pay back time" for its exclusion; yet, anger and hostility have always produced reactive retaliation and the sustained deceleration of Social Progress........a Catch 22 dilemma, isn't it? The 'token' and 'fashionable' Marches, that fill many American Streets, today......as soon as the Hoi, that has not worn the shackles of the Past, fixates on some other 'Cause'.....will be buried in the b...
