Everything I need to know about sombody I learn from their eyes. Whether it is the twinkle that asks for a kiss or the furowed eyebrows that disagree with what you say, reguardless of the words that come out of somebody's mouth. The eyes tell the true story. Typed words are a very sterile form of communication. Gauging emotions is nearly impossible, words and commitments are easy to break, and personalities are easy to fake. Which leads to the question; Are the people you talk to on the internet real, or is it a liars paradise? There is no real answer to the question, because it is a combonation of real people trying to express who they are and how they really feel and people that use it as a way to preend to be somebody they are not. I just wonder where the majority lies. There are parts of this thread that require me to go back to school to interpret. But - to the initial question - internet allows a 'different perspective' of people. If you talk long enough the 'real person' usually comes though at least a little at a time - IMO |

I often wonder what percentage of online profiles are really genuine. I'm not talking about someone who is a few years older, a few pounds heavier, a few inches shorter, or a little poorer than they say they are. I'm talking about underaged youths fooling around, men pretending to be women and women pretending to be men, scammers, or bored married men and women creating alteregoes in order to live a fantasy life. There is no way of really knowing for sure.

Ok you're not explaining your thoughts well.. The brain was built to fire so yes, God set it up that way.. That being said, what your "eyes" see when watching TV, you do not "get" until it travels to the brain and hits the neurons and fires back the understanding of what you're seeing.. right...then the brain decides when and how those eyes will react. it doesnt matter the exact process, what matters is that your eyes are being controlled by something that can calculate in nanoseconds, risk, reward, consequences, truth or deception. therefor they (eyes) are not a dependable measure of truth... I am not saying that people's eyes don't lie, it was more about the poetry of the statement. The real subject was about the sterility of written communication with strangers in an attempt to get to know somebody. Through written words you can hide your facial expression, re type what you said, delete something you feel the other person might not like, etc. There is more to communication that what people say, especially when they have time to really think about what they say, then go back over and say it a little better. If there was a thirty second pause after you asked a question that would tell you soemthing. |

Back to the book "The Mind and the Brain"........I found the arguments about consciousness very interesting.
Whether consciousness is a product solely of the brain or if it exists independent of the brain. |

Back to the book "The Mind and the Brain"........I found the arguments about consciousness very interesting. Whether consciousness is a product solely of the brain or if it exists independent of the brain. For the record I have read more books than just the one, I just found it as the most relavent to bridging the gap between behavioralism and a form of psychology that does not reduce man and his thoughts to what can be observed objectively. I think consciouness is an interaction with the brain, so independently it is plausable that the stuff of the mind still exists, but without something to recieve/translate it would not be considered consciousness. Like a TV signal without a TV. There have been studies of Buddist monks that could quite almost all of their brain's neurons, which would not be possible if the brain fires at it's own will. And for the record I had never heard of the term "stolen picture." before. |
