the addled mind - alive why

the master

the gap of understanding between cortex and emotions is our problem

the gap has persisted inevitably by survival
like every aspect of (human) development that has persisted
the present population on the planet has been selected through survival
survival selects us with our cortex
which understands its amygdala in a feeble sporadic way
there is no intention
its not as if dna is being personified
just survival selecting and non survival deleting DNA types

it could be described as design by dna
in the sense that survival deleting certain types of dna
deletes certain types of future
and therefore adjusts the future according to selected dna types

for DNA to be in charge of our behaviour
a good way is if we aren't aware of DNA's control
of us through emotions

the fact that we don't not know that DNA drives us
through emotions
is probably effective for DNA
because it leaves DNA in a powerful position of control

many or most people tend to object to that idea of DNA controlling us through emotion
they think "No! I'm in charge . I'm running the show here"
we see ourselves as in charge
because our emotions reject the ideas for us
oour emotions reject the prospect that we are not really in charge
so we don't question it
but behind all our thoughts words and actions emotion is driving
otherwise we wouldn't bother to have thoughts words or actions
so emotion has perfect camouflage
your most powerful master and persuader and worst enemy
and your best friend
is an ancient DNA programme
but it has disguised itself
AS YOU
it is emotion
