Whilst I am in this thinking mood (when am I not) here are my thoughts on dreams. I believe that when we sleep the body does rest. So too the brain, but some of the time that we sleep the brain gets its act together. It rearranges its folders and files and provides links and notes for reference. Yes, I hear folk saying, it sounds like a computer. It is not only like a computer in the sorting of files it is also similar to the defragging processes. Shifting commonly used items to the top for ease of access and burying others in storage, never deleting. It freshens ones cells.
Now sometimes the conscious mind tries to get a look into this activity to see what is going on. It tries to make some sense of it all. Of cource this is not possible but this bleeds into our consciousness as a mixed up jumbled mystifying sometimes terrifying dream, briefly to be remembered as we wake. Trains in bedrooms, murdered children, snakes in the bath, Jennifer Hawkins in my bed, some are pleasant. Some misguided people try to interpret these dreams like fortune tellers and astrology merchants. But they are just random glimpses into a defrag session.

Conscience or Consciousness
What does intrigue me is the subject of Conscience or Consciousness. I think therefore I am, I think therefore you are, without me would you be?. That transposes itself into morality and why we mainly do the ‘right thing’ irrespective of religiosity. Morality is inherent in human behaviour as Mr Hitchens so often says it was around long before Jesus Christ walked the earth. I also take it as an insult to suggest that we act and do as we do because some omnipotent being deems it be so and, do so in fear of retribution or to receive some reward.
It is my thought that our brains over the thousands of years are subject to a sort of advanced evolution. This transfers itself to the DNA . A learned process that doing the right thing perhaps produces some pheromone that is pleasant or conversely does not cause stress. This is not evident in all humans of course. The deviants are the psychopaths and those who are perhaps without empathy or sympathy.
Yes I am beginning to understand the beginnings and creation of life thanks to the teaching and wonderful explanations of Carl Sagan and Richard Dawkins. It is migraine stimulation stuff to get my head around but I am getting there. The question of consciousness is fascinating and I think that I am right in saying that Daniel Dennett is also a fervent studier of this topic.
I will continue to study, any reading suggestions welcomed.

Human beings cannot comprehend Eternity.
Always was and always will be. The Universe is never ending it has always been here. There is no centre to a circle. Human beings cannot comprehend eternity. I think that this is a profound basis for religion. The religious will evoke the same old lame explanation from the pagan fairy tail that god made it that way. To think about the problem is to insight dizziness. What was there before. The common question of Christopher Hitchens, Professor Dawkins and others. They all seem to avoid the obvious statement that, Human beings just cannot comprehend eternity whether time or distance related, though Einstein says that they are one in the same. It is not that ‘Free Thinkers’ do not think about the problem it is that one has to know when to stop. To quote a modern statement, ‘it doe’s my head in’.

Badges of Stupidity
As this is my blog, and, it looks as though very few read it, therefore I am free to 'vent my spleen'.
I have just returned from another shopping trip, mainly to make use of the air conditioning as the temp has again hit 38c.
As the higher primate we have the gift of intelligence. We are made to grow in the main into perfectly formed homo- sapiens. If we went into our recent past say 30-50 years or maybe even 70 years ago and looked at a group of people we could not judge their stupidity. Dressed in suits and skirts or dresses, apart from bearing the marks of differing socio economic backgrounds we could judge them little. Signs of intelligence, common sense or stupidity is not apparent.
Here is a list of Badges proudly worn by disgusting representation of the higher primate.
Tattoos, born now by all ages and creeds. Not the mark of a primitive isolated tribe but everyday people.
Goths, Grotesquely attired, adorned and punctured usually younger people. The statement, “I’ (the very centre of modern youths focus) do not care about anybody’s opinion, how I look, how I reflect my family, work or environment. I do not care about my body or making others feel uncomfortable. I could not give a (@$4#*k)
Punctured people. What in evolutions name makes what should be a balanced intelligent person want to stick a piece of wire through a nose, nostril, ear, lip, eyebrow, tongue, cheek, nipple, penis or clitoris. Yes I kid you not. A hundred years ago or more explorers would return from overseas with stories of weird tribes with bizarre habits like these. We made allowances because of their backward primative status.
Ever increasing worship of the artificial stimulus. These are mainly drugs and alcohol. We used to go out to have fun and at the same time have a little drink as a pleasant addition to the entertainment. Now it seems to be to go out and not just have a drink but to get inebriated beyond control and caring. They might also choose to frighten others with their behaviour and antisocial activities.
Fat Obese Folk. Yes this is now a badge. It is stating boldly I do not care. I am lazy. I want to shove what ever I like into my Gob. I will also influence my children to do the same thing. Society is now waking up to the fact that smokers are, and will, cost society a fortune in medical bills very soon. I have news for you, the fat people are going to cost us far more. Most examples I see are women, fat women according to my possible not accurate survey outnumber men 8 out of 10. Large women were once restricted to islander or folk from the pacific islands. Beautiful young girls soon to start gathering weight by the high calorie diet. Nothing to do with heredity or genes’
I have seen what could be pretty or beautiful white young girls fat and or obese squeezing in to lycra pants, shorts, short skirts with inward slanting knees as the poor legs try to support the weight. I sometimes see a couple, that is a very fat obese woman with a man. He is usually a lot lighter in stature sometimes even skinny. The amazing thing is that there is at time a child or baby in a push chair. I find myself having to think of how was this accomplished outside of artificial insemination.
Young women taking up smoking. We have now had the warnings for 20-30 years. These stupid females do not care.
Endless worship and endless time spent on mobile phones. Mostly again by women. And most I see on the phone whilst driving are also women.
Fowl language, the everyday use of the common “f” word in vocabulary. It is a make of low intelligence, stupidity and a total disregard and respect for others.
The total disregard for road rules especially speeding, see my posts elsewhere on this blog.
Being an elitist is so lonely.
