Imagination

Imagination and communication are what set humans apart from all other animals. Imagination and communication are the two skills that can make you happy, and help you survive and thrive. Finally, imagination and communication are also the skills that can help you make money and prosper in life.

Humans are storytelling primates. What sets humans apart from all other animals is the capacity to generate images in our brains (imagination) plus the ability to share those images from brain to brain within a community (communication). 

To generate images, our brains receive external input and process it into images or imagery output. What we "see" is not what is out there, but rather what our brains project internally. We "see" the images that our brains produce after processing the input received from out there.

Most healthy and sober humans perceive the same or very similar reality because we all have the same receiver, processor, and projector (the human brain). The mentally ill or the otherwise impaired (e.g. by alcohol, drugs, etc) may perceive a different reality. 

Other animals also perceive different realities based on their processors and evolutionary programming.  Different organic computers (animals) perceive different realities based on their different sensory and processing capacities. 

Within the same species of animals, organisms perceive a similar external reality. Dogs perceive the same or very similar dog world reality. Cats do the same; dolphins; whales; eagles; etcetera. As members of the same species, they have similar sensory processors and projectors (brains) making them perceive a similar "objective" reality.

The difference between humans and other animals is not only that we have a relatively advanced brains, but that we can share images and ideas between a brain community (communication) by using languages or codifying technologies (tools and methods). 

More to follow on our communication capabilities in the next post. Stay tuned.

Christian Abortions

Christian women should vote for Democrats to protect the sacred right to medically sound and compassionately humane abortions in the United States. Guaranteeing access to proper abortions under adequate medical care is not only a human right, but also a Christian obligation. Christian entrepreneurs should also tap into the untouched business opportunity of promoting Christian abortions.  Slap is food for thought. Take more at  TakeSlap.com   Christian faith stands for the belief in a heavenly father who loves his children on Earth. When that heavenly father sends one of his daughters a gift of life, daughters should feel loved and empowered to safely, kindly, and humanely return the gift to the father if desired. The heavenly father is not a monster or or sadistic deity.  The heavenly father will understand and appreciate the safe return of the unborn soul to heaven. The heavenly father will not want his daughter to suffer and will not want the soul to be in the wron...

Is Putin white?

                                                             [This post was updated on May 6, 2020.] Is Putin white?  Conservatives and white supremacists are having a Putin problem these days. The standard convention is that the white race is good unless it is trash or mentally ill. Browns are terrorists, illegal immigrants, or both. Blacks are thugs. Asians are too many. Putin became a war criminal and is turning into Hitler. Conservatives and white supremacists don't know what to do about their secret love for the white boy. Some conservatives are dumb enough to blame Ukraine, or even imply that the war is fake. The only recourse for white supremacists is to expel Putin from the sacred white race. TakeSlap offers spicy food for thought. We put words together in a stream of consciousness to slap yo...

A 76 year old beige man

Neither Hunter Biden nor Steve Bannon can save Trump this time. Hunter is reportedly an atheist. Bannon is supposedly a christian who keeps a fake portrait of a bleached skin Jesus in his office. The J6 Hearings are destroying Trump and he seems doomed. Luckily for Trump he is a man of color (color beige) and will most likely avoid criminal prosecution. Luckily for all of us, Trump's political career is almost over. Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com Trump's Epic Collapse Millions of Americans have been waiting for Trump's collapse. Trump is a 76 year old old man with a poor diet, and a super stressful lifestyle. That is a lethal combination for any heart. Men of beige color with similar lifestyle factors are prone to deadly heart attacks. With every heartbeat, the blonde dyed hair and fake orange makeup gets closer to his final day on Earth.  No one is eternal; not even the MAGA king. That is the most fundamental flaw of kings and dictators. Even assuming ...
