Brain less active then sleeping while watching TV!

It is a scientific fact that your brain is less active when watching television then when sleeping. Isn't that amazing ?


No wonder, I mean when you see a movie for example, the stars are doing it all for you. When they are shot at, they duck. When they are hit, they take the blow.
All this while you are just relaxing in your seat.
Probably also an indication that your brain is slurping this up and makes us all retards or naïve believers after a lifetime of tv watching.
Luckily enough I don't watch that much tv. There is nothing to see that's interesting. All these channels, but all the samle thing over and over again. And still, when watching a movie, even a stupid one, I always insist in seeing the end.

On the other hand, imagine not sleeping for a couple of days. I've tried this out for 3 days (so, without sleeping for 2 nights; not an easy job if nobody keeps you awake). But I am not the only one. Controlled scientific tests have been showing this multiple times, already in the previous century and probably even in times of the Greeks (knowing these philosophy freaks :-) ).
It is just crazy !! You start to forget things, be very unattentive and you even get a bit paranoïd. It's like hearing and seeing, but it's not really you ot rather you don't feel really there, as if you are watching from a distance from within yourself. Must be very healthy!! :- :)
So, you can imagine that your brain does fucntion in your sleep. It probably orders all the information or so... just like a server backup, haha.

Doctors!!!

Another one of those problems out here that I have found more and more compelling as well as frustrating in my life as well as for the whole world is that doctors of today seem not really concerned with their patients anymore, when practicing their profession rather focusing on symptom treatment and "pills" (so to speak) than the causes and real health or well being of the patient. Also that they are weigh too much focused on the money they " deserve " and the competition ( do I smell another form of my favorite word conformism in the latter? ). I have had a lot of discussions with some medicine students (not coincidently), and though I thought a lot of them wouldn't come out for it, I was surprised to learn that a lot of them dó admit that (the promise of) money is a big part in their decision to study medicines!! Of course it's not merely doctors, but the whole health care institution that is becoming more and more of a profiting "machine&qu

The Four Ages of Man

Pilar, a new friend, has revived the ever lasting poem in me brain.  It remains there partly because of a disastrous trial of mine once, to improve my memory.   But it's a nice piece nevertheless. It's a poem that struck me as being simple, sooo true, yet ironic (or even sarcastic) in only 8 lines of text!!    Here it is:   The Four Ages of Man Yeats He with body waged a fight, But body won; it walks upright.   Then he struggled with the heart; Innocence and peace depart.   Then he struggled with the mind; His proud heart he left behind.   Now his wars on God begin; At stroke of midnight God shall win. Amazing is that I could as well project it on the life of á man as well as on the life of all mankind (through evolution and with the apocalypse at the end). Euh, no ... I do not believe in God, nor do I disbeleive It/Him/Her!!  I am just happy without needing to decide on it.

Basics of equality

I have had this idea for as long as I can remember, but only lately it has taken some form in thoughts & words. Though it needs a lot of fixing -aren't words so limited ?- Now I am putting it here to release it so it won't occupy my thoughts so much. Also, maybe someone can learn from this, though I doubt it isn't said already somewhere else and I doubt my blog is read by many people. (Pride is my everlasting burdon too.) Basics of equality : Actually, it's so easy, but probably also so "against one's individuality and pride" that it is so difficult to learn and live by it, if not completely subjectivily rejected by one's mind at first sight!! So, please open your mind before reading on. You see, what makes a person ? Well, it's simple actually, man equals DNA (body, looks, behavior, ..) + life experience (education, accidents, confrontations, luck!, .. ; though isn't luck , or rather: chance, what life experience is the result
