The Five Cutest Animal Vidoes (and Stunning Psychological Revalations)

Preface.
I am not a psychologist and know very little about psychology. You won't really learn any stunning psychological revaluations (hehe typo) here, unless you have some sort of epiphany while watching these fun videos. If you do, please share.

Butter Milk the Spirit Goat 

Exercise Feels Like Blisters

Hey friends.  It has been a minute since I last updated my blog.  You may be wondering why.  It is because I was really busy doing things that are important.  No, I will not tell you about them. What do you think this blog is? Some place where I just tell you everything I ever did in my life and you read about it.  Can't a guy have some privacy. I am not just going to through my self on the inter-web to be virtually molested by anonymous viewer spider people. Anyways, This blog is about how I brainwashed myself.

Political issues will now be settled with memes

Politics is confusing and boring. That is why most people hate it and avoid it at all costs. Luckily we live in the enlightened edge of digital communication where we can express every thing we want with simple pictures called "memes".

Meet Obama.

Obama Has You By The Neck

Of course you have heard about health care reform.  That is all anyone cares about.  Geez it makes me angry. Ok I will sum it up for you, and then we will get to the real topic.  There will be people that will say, "Health care is the one thing that I believe should be universal. I mean who doesn't deserve the right to live?"  That is a cute notion. Don't fall for it.  You can't just give everyone health care. If you could I would be all for it.  However, there is too much economical whiplash that comes with it. Basically the government wants doctors to work for free.  I don't think the doctors want to do that.  Let's pretend I am a doctor for one second.  I might say something like.  "Welp, healthcare aint gonna feed my family."  You see what I am saying. There is no medication for starvation! Do you understand.

Higgs Boson Confirms Belief In Ethereal Matter (I Am Talking About Your Soul)

Understand that it confirms 'my' belief in ethereal matter (spiritual matter).  Everything I tell you is true.  Even my thoughts truly are my thoughts, I will tell you before I start speculating so you know not to repeat it. Everything else is totally fact. It is actualy like super awesome news for science. HORRAY FOR SCIENCE.

The Higgs Boson was discovered. This is an incredible discovery that a lot of people will take for granted.  Mainly it is great news for the standard model of physics because now it doesn't have to be thrown away.   What? you haven't heard of The Higgs Boson. What may sound like a mountaineer who lives in Yellow Stone, rides bison, and wrestles bears is actually a field, sort of like a magnetic field.

This picture explains everything

This Higgs Boson field has a very interesting quality about it.  It gives other particles mass.  wait did you even hear that? IT GIVES MASS.  just like hot dogs on white bread -- Happy Fourth BTW, I am deciding to call it Dependence Day from now on-- this field provides mass.  

Imagine this Higgs Boson like stuff, it is everywhere and it is all around us, but it really isn't stuff it is more like potential stuff. Other atomic particles pass through this Higgs Boson and collect mass, just like if it was a fast food restaurant. Like people some particles take more than others, and thus they acquire more mass.

Here is why it is really neat. This means that mass 'happens' to a particle rather than being an intrinsic quality.   Each particle is given mass as it passes through this Higgs Boson.  Physicists say this explains why and how dark matter exists, and some other things that weren't really proven, but I don't know all the facts about that.

Because this field gives mass to particles (this is me speculating) it would seem that the frame work of all mass was created before it was ever made into matter.  That means you, my friend, existed before you had a body. Then one day you, you being atomic particles, floated into the Higgs Boson and voila you got a body.  Of course the body did a lot of good developing in the womb and on earth, but the initial essence of you had to start as a template without any mass whatsoever. I am saying you were a spirit in some pre-life. Do you get it!?

To me this makes sense.

You Are A Bit Psychic, and Have Been Since Late Adolesence

I go through these phases where things interest me.  I don't know what it is, curiosity I suppose.  Someday it will probably kill me.

Lately I have been reading, watching, and listening to neuroscientists discuss their latest discoveries. I learned something from a women named Rebecca Saxe. She said, and I am paraphrasing, "Thomas Valadez you are a psychic person".  Now I am pretty sure I think that is what I thought she said, but then again perhaps what I heard wasn't exactly what she meant.  

People have a small part of the brain called the RTPJ (right temporal parietal junction) that is completely specialized to think of other peoples thoughts.  As you read this that little part of your head is going "why is he writing this blog" and the little part in my head is going "cool, someone is reading my blog". Throughout life this area of the brain becomes more and more specialized, and it isn't completely devoloped until late adolescence.

We are basically the same as these two.

• At age 3 a child doesn't understand that different people have their own thoughts.
• Age 5 a kid understands that people have their own thoughts, but still doesn't understand morality in others.
• Age 7 kids learn to understand morality in others, though it is still confused.
• Eventually around 15-18 children finally become able to fully grasp the concept of "other peoples' minds", or at least they understand it as well as an adult does.

Interestingly side note, this part of the brain looked to be about the same size of the Broca (the area of the brain specialized for linguistic skills.)

Reading the thoughts of other people isn't easy though.  Think about it.  You are not just a linear black and white thought process.  You are feelings, emotions, moral mazes, complex experiences, sensations without words. The real neat thing is, the brain is already working to understand all those feelings, thoughts, emotions sensations and moral convictions of other people. Immediately when you see a picture of someone, you have a sense of what they felt and thought.  

Up till now I didn't know that such an area of the brain existed.  Now I wonder. Would it be possible to develop this specific area of the brain.  I am sure it could be done. I mean, would their be some drastic change in society if we made that part of a public school regimen?

You are smartest when alone, that is a fact.

Unfortunately for you, and everyone else on the planet earth, no one will ever know how truly intelligent you really are.  For some people I imagine this knowledge will come as a weight being lifted off the chest. No longer do you have to be concerned about showing off your intellect in group settings, because now you know full well that it simply can't be done.

It is a scientifically proven fact that group settings diminish expressions of intelligence. So these scientists, who probably could have done a better study on their own, hooked up some sort of nueroimaging apparatus to peoples' heads and found out, yup, people in groups are idiots. It isn't that the particular people that go to groups are idiots, but rather just being in a group setting drastically lowers your IQ.   

It makes sense though.  Think about all the brainpower that goes into not scratching your butt in front of others. Basically just acting socially acceptable takes a lot away from actually thinking of the task at hand. The best part about this little study is that women are affected more than men.  Oh you vain, self-centered, over-concerned females constantly making a foofaraw(word of the day) out of naught.  My apologizes for the sockdolagar(another word of the day), I don't mean to be bumptious (word of yestday). --I had to force some absquatulation of elucidating terms, so I could incorporate the words of my day. Also I am not sure if I used 'absquatulate' in the right context there, but I am sure you know what I mean.


 Anyway, back to the topic, women work in groups about as well as a bunch of miniature yorkies. Of course we have to take into account that  men automatically become idiots when there is a girl present. In fact, studies suggest men become mentally impaired simply by thinking about interaction with a women. That is sort of pathetic.  And, yeah... it sucks.

So if you are a women stay away from group settings. If you are a man you too should stay away from group settings, especially the kind that have girls mixed into them.  My suggestion is that you  distance yourselves from everyone. Get as far away as possible.  That way you can preserve what little brain juice you may have left. Also talking to yourself helps stimulate cognition, so do that whilst sitting alone in your makeshift fort out in the middle of nowhere.
