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.

MAGA People of Color

MAGA is a movement of people of color. Beige color, that is. Human skin comes in three color shades: beige, brown, and black. Any color is okay. What is not okay is thinking that one color is better than another. What makes MAGA people suffer is that liberals are ending the color coded society that MAGA folks had learned was "great".  Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com People of Color  People of color are the base of the MAGA movement. Their color is beige. Human skin comes in three main colors or shades: beige, brown, and black. Melanin, a natural "ink" or pigment made by the body is responsible for skin color.  Your melanin color varies depending on whether your ancestors stayed in tropical weather, or migrated to nordic weather. Northern latitudes have less ultraviolet (UV) radiation plus are cold requiring people to cover their skin. The combination of less UV radiation plus covered skin, made melanin beige.  You can see melanin as natural form ...

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 ...

Mastodon

Mastodon is the new Twitter. Check it out. Read the rules. If you agree, open an account and give it a try. Many users are leaving Twitter after it was acquired and raided by Elon Musk. The richest man on Earth is controversial to say the least. By becoming a conservative political activist, Elon Musk has attracted a lot of hate. To some extent, the richest man on Earth seems to have a negative goodwill by now. Go figure. Slap is food for thought. Written philanthropy. Take more at TakeSlap.com   Haters gonna hate. You can be Jesus Christ and many people are going to hate you. Some will follow, and as a consequence some will hate. That is how goes with humans, the emotional storytelling primates (ESPs)  ruling the world.  Humans are emotional creatures. Emotions come first, and reasons follow. Hate is a common human emotion that derives from fear. There are two basic emotions controlling humans: fear and greed. Humans are greedy for pleasure, and fearful of pain.  Hu...
