Why do we teach our children materialism? Why do we say “memory is stored in the brain”. This is a reductionist claim! Yes, we can detect electric signals in EEGs, but we go beyond observation when we reduce memory to some brain process which, by observation, a c c o m p a n i e s our sensation of memory.

This is fascinating to me. Medical and neuroscience is still in kindergarten, relatively speaking.

It’s crazy finding out how wrong your memories actually are, one thing I heard was that the more impactful memories are the most likely to be corrupted, that the more you pull out a memory the more likely it is to change over time. Dunno if that’s true or not

I say that if we were all naturally allowed to memorise everything as we age, many will have been driven to suicide. You see, Nature knows the nature of man and his lofty hopes, dreams and goals, but life…is about contradicting and objecting to many of mankind’s outlandish accomplishments which to date, brought about Climate Change. And….then some.

It’s interesting, I’ve actually been thinking about “mental models” for the past couple weeks. What is it that leads people to develop certain mental models? Is it simply having lived a certain life and being treated a certain way by the people around them? Do innate biological predispositions play any role in the final mental model that a person may develop? I believe there is a finite truth to everything and that there are horrible as well as wonderful people in the world. What if we could fully map the mental models of the best people in the world, would it then be possible to replicate those mental models in future people, through education, through cultural engineering? These are questions I’ve been thinking about the past couple weeks.

sometime i count , 99-100 it focus my brain in one direction , than
sometime i create a dream , i m walking or doing someting like this …
than my brain make this a his first dream , than i fell in sleep –
easy ,
when i was 5 years old i thought if i don’t sleep night will not end ..
than one day it was 11:45 i failed to sleep . in 2002 –
than i cried alot and told to my mother – maybe i can’t sleep anymore , because it’s 12 am ..
😅🤣🤣 as a kid what i can do …
than i tought i do i sleep ..
after 12 year finding this how to sleep .. we close our eyes than we went to somewahre than we wake up it mornming
that was my question …
now i know that was nothing ..as seriour ..
sleep is rest signal to ur brain —
and ur brain need want to be tried .. to sleep ..
u can make him tried by doing study lol
or u can make him slow but thinking one direction ..
i knew .. our brain release a chemical what create sleep ..
in night or when is my sleep time brain thinks he release that —

A memory is a symphony of signals of your experience as the event unfolds. Thats why repeating the event makes it a solid semantic memory as it not only depends on one neural pattern of one particular event but a series of implicit and explicit memory signals superimposing over one another

What the experts describe at the end makes me revisit Why I wanted to raise my son in Oslo. Oslo is a compact cosmopolitan city that’s built by a community that’s surrounded by and celebrates nature. Now that I had my son and I move to LA I can practically witness his growing interest towards cars 😭
The car culture is so strong that it’s overriding whatever I attempt to teach him. If we were in a city like Oslo where cars are band in the city center I’m quite sure his interests and outlook would be much broader; perhaps he’d notice the architecture or how the people behave differently there versus here. Settings acts as a default map of societal and cultural norms; the setting here is not the model norm I want him to emulate 😟
But maybe printing pictures of fonder memories spent during hikes, museum visits and good natured social activities will help reinforce the “map” he’ll circulate in his memory 🤞🏼
I can’t shut out the world I’m surrounded by but I’ll try my best to mold it back to better shape 🤷🏻🙏🏼😓
