Ignorance vs Wokeness

I have been listening to an attorney go through the indictments and simply just explain how the law works and what everything means, to try and help people who don’t understand the law, learn how it works. She refuses to say whether she’s Democrat or Republican, or how she leans politically she simply wants to teach people how the law works. There are so many Republicans that come in this room to chat and say stupid shit, they don’t try to listen or learn. She even gives references on different things you can read or download to follow along. She gives everybody the knowledge of where you can get the indictments because they’re available to everyone on a government site and I believe some news sites have links to them as well.

In the book I’m reading by Bob Woodward, called Fear. He explains through multiple people in his own staff that Trump is the exact same way. There is no willingness there to listen or learn, or to admit that he is wrong about things. The sad reality here is that they will continue to be easily swayed and manipulated by people who or not going to attempt to do things to be helpful to them or any of us. They will remain ignorant and unaware of this, because they refuse to learn. In this they are also hindering the rest of us from moving forward and having better policies and laws for everyone, that is an American. Until these people die off or something happens to them to make them choose to learn, our country is going to be at a crux, at least that is the only sense that I can make of all this.

It is also very possible that they will never learn because they have gone so long without learning new things, which cause changes in the neural pathways in their brains and creates new neural pathways to keep their brain healthy. It’s likely that their brains are actually damaged and they are incapable of learning, new things and accepting changes.

It’s not about Democrat and Republican it’s about ignorance and wokeness. This is why they repeatedly speak against wokeness. If you remain ignorant, they remain in power, and they continue to manipulate you, keep you and I struggling, and make money off of us. This is the sad reality of our country, those who remain ignorant make us weak as a country.

Neuroscience and religion

Neuroscience research has found that reading the same thing over and over again outside of the initial learning phase, causes damage to the brain. In a normal learning brain, many neural pathways would be active and growing. When someone reads the same thing outside of repetition, for initially learning it, your brain does not create new neural pathways to keep it healthy. So, not only does religion create damage in the brain in that aspect, it also creates damage from trauma from a narcissistic psychopathic god persona. This trauma also damages the physical body from the amount of cortisol that releases constantly in the body throughout their lives, they basically remain in a fight or flight state internally. Followers are stuck in a continuous trauma bond, basically endlessly harming and suppressing their own human experience.

If only love were as contagious as hate.

Someone said, “that people are afraid of love and use their watered down versions of it, hoping for a better result.” There are so many different reasons or excuses, but humanity as a whole needs to drill down and actually be able to accept the things neurobiologist, psychologists, and others are learning about the brain and the mind.

My take on it from reading so many books on psychology, trauma, narcissism, and neurobiology is this, people lack empathy and compassion. It’s either the way their brains are created in utero, how they have chosen to be, or how overtime from social constructs and cults they follow that have damaged their brains from lack of learning. That old term “people are stuck in their ways,” neurobiologists have learned is from them not doing brain building and being infinite learners their whole lives, it literally damages their brain and they become less and less capable of accepting change. If you aren’t learning something new, you aren’t using parts of your brain and eventually, their brains do not function properly.

If we don’t begin to heal what has been damaged by those who come before us, we will be more “animalistic” and less intelligent. There are far to many social cults in society that keep people in a fear state and deter them from learning and using their minds, that along with abuse and trauma have caused so much damage to the whole of humanity. We have to do the work to heal or the cycle will continue and eventually we will not only destroy the earth but each other.
