The social neuropolitics of climate change
« on: 09/09/2017 11:16:27 »
The term "neuropolitics" is of particular importance to the psychology of man-made climate change. I think the study of neuropolitics deserve a careful examination: Is it possible to control the neuropsychological behavior of peoples by creating illusions of fear and systemic disinformation?

What do you think?

What do you think?

The answer is yes. When the brain creates memory, an emotional tag is added. This is useful to the animal brain since triggering a similar memory, via the sensory environment, will also trigger the attached feeling. This allows the animal to react via the summary feeling, without having to think. For example if they see a food they once ate and liked, they will feel the same positive feeling and they will eat. The animal does not have to recall and think it through so he can relive the entire first encounter, before action. He will gauge actions on the summary feeling.

That being said, if you could reinforce a particular feeling; like fear, so it stays active all the time, the natural memory tagging process; based on variety, can become confused due to this unrelated fear. Fear becomes part of the brain;s chemical environment and can become part of all emotional tagging of memory.

The result can be the original induced fear, appearing to extrapolate to others things, that are not rationally connected, due to the similar emotional summary tagging. One can see this happening to those on the left, since they are more vulnerable.

What makes the left more vulnerable is their philosophy of emotions and feelings coming first . They will go by feelings first, and not by logic first. This could be good in a natural environment. However, with scam artists, feeling tags can to be modified, away from rational/natural, due to induced long term inductions.

The example is like an animal being induced to feel good any time he sees any food object, even is that object made him sick before. He will eat again without thinking and become sick and feel good about it. Fake news can feed poke garbage again and again, and they will still crave it, due feeling first.

This vulnerability also has a connection to feminism and female insecurity. As an example, say a wife asked her husband if she looked fat in her dress. She is not looking for a rational conclusion or statement of fact; natural tagging of observed fact. She would prefer he say something that makes her feel good, regardless of how she looks. She wants an alternate emotional tag, if needed. To her the tag comes first, not reality. What tends to happen is the alternate tagging is accepted and can have an impact on future critical thinking.

Say the husband tells her she is more beautiful then ever, her insecurity about her weight is appeased. She can then extrapolate this to mean, all her eating is make her beautiful. This then leads here down a path that reinforces her deep insecurity based on reality. One can see this happening on the left.

Manmade global warming is the main scare induction being used to induce the brain to become richer in fear chemicals. The goal is to influence the tagging process. They have tried to extrapolate this chemical environment of the brain and tagging process to anything Trump. Trump is also going to destroy their world.Since feminization teaches emotion first and alternate tagging to help alter harsh reality, this is made easier and is accepted, blindly.

The antidote is to shift away from emotions first and teach memory first. Logic allows one to reprogram the tagging until it is natural and can be useful in reality.

Here's a interesting article talking about the emergence of neuro-narratives among antidepressant users...
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/297898341_The_secret_is_inside_me_Neuropolitics_and_the_emergence_of_neuro-narratives_among_antidepressant_consumers

Could people using antidepressant drugs be more vulnerable to brainwashing??

James says:

Could we use absorption or reflection of sunlight by particulate matter to postpone global warming? This is said to occur after a massive dust particle release into the atmosphere and stratosphere with asteroid collision with us, or nuclear war or gigantic volcanic activity. Possibly silicates, aluminium?

Land based experiments might estimate a graded amount to release. I don't suggest release to a level to dramatically reduce sunlight, just a tiny amount. The particles might eventually disperse, fast or slowly, depending on the height above the earth or the nature of the particles. They should degenerate and disperse over time. Krakatoa apparently altered the climate for some time.

The sky might change colour a little. There may be other consequences, but would they be as bad as the consequences of climate change? I don't have faith in us humans taking adequate or timely reduction of carbon dioxide emission to avoid the consequences. Even if we totally stopped our own CO2 emission overnight and stopped forest clearing we can't avoid rapid global warming now. Those that believe we can may have their heads in the sand.

Are there any other radical or useful approaches that may possibly assist - biological or physical?

I'm always fascinated by the unilateral approach we propose to fight man-made climate change. I think this question is a very good example of the neuro-narratives used to justify the weaponization of geoengineering: Instead of admitting that we currently do reflect sunlight with clandestine geoengineering activity, we're expected to think this is for the good of humanity. It is a false dichotomy to pretend the only way to "postpone" global warming is through radical geoengineering activity.  Humanity is smarter than a minority of globalists seeking to use "climate change" as a weapon to enforce their global government agenda.
