[Dopamine]

My parents are old and I’ll buttress their illusions until they are gone, but my children, wife and myself will certainly be playing survivor. I’ve left comments, mostly with a biological systems slant on various “doomer” blogs, and even at these forums there is an unsettling silence, as if it is acceptable to model the outside world, but closely scrutinizing the systematic nature of humans and their technology is out of bounds. In society at large, all scrutiny that reaches beyond the visceral limbic system or challenges its desires is unacceptable. We live in limbic land and critical thinking need not apply. Ideas will not penetrate, the limbic mind thinks with emotions, pain and pleasure, not with words and symbols. When the pain becomes too great, their limbic fury will be unleashed against some scapegoat, perhaps each other, but the real reason, the systems reasons will never enter their minds.

Their ignorance and seemingly doggy-like behaviors are more than repulsive. I’ve more or less decided to use “the system” which I could describe eloquently without the use of obscuring fractal science, to gain personal advantage. I’ll be eating filet mignon with an ocean view while the dogs are fighting for scraps in the streets of their malnourished cities. This is what I’ve decided my knowledge is for, saving myself and loved ones, while those that refuse enlightenment remain in their limbic, emotionally dominated and tragic, dog-eat-dog world.

Let them eat cake? Naaaah. Let them eat each other.
