Feelings?

Can feelings be classified into two groups - primarily physically-based feelings and primarily metaphysically-based ones?

Feelings such as hot, cold, hungry, love, hate, and anger seem to start from physiological processes (nerves, hormones), while feelings such as like or dislike of humor seem to be mainly based on metaphysical processes.

Hmm...

Diligent, hardworking and honest people need to beware. Others who aren't do not like such people.

Read somewhere that people resent those who are better. 

Example? Kids with bad grades dun like ones with good grades, sometimes. 

That kind of resentment could arise from survival instinct, so it might be due to physiological processes

On the surface, it seems only some resent others, but unconsciously, it could be another story...

Feelings could be due to chemicals and electric impulses around and in nerves. Why the chemicals and electric signals create thoughts and feelings is not known.

Okay, physiological process-based feelings and metaphysical feelings.

With metaphysical feelings, there is no foundation, so to speak. So, these feelings are based on nodes of knowledge? So, if cognitively dissonant, then no nodes, which is equal to feelings and thoughts not based on knowledge?

Knowledge is normally based on true facts or assumptions Common sense.

So, if one believes in untrue or false assumptions, further knowledge in that area is improbable? Gotcha!

Most people are somewhat cognitively dissonant, while some appear lost?

Plausible.

Feelings? Are feelings thoughts? Thinking that one feels something, or the external influence makes one think that way? For hot and cold... 

Hormone-based thoughts and metaphysically-based thoughts? Instinctive thoughts and higher dimensional/complex thoughts?

Some common nodes of knowledge exist in everyone's minds. Do these nodes exist in an unseen  dimension or are minds connected by some quantum entanglement-type phenomena? Maybe both?

Both. Could also be thought of as an unseen dimension of knowledge? Can easily get lost in here. 

No wonder most people avoid thinking, these thoughts.

Job?

Or pastime?

Writing reports on stock exchange filings and financial news is helpful when investing. 

Writing seemed to be a chore in past jobs. After retiring, writing became a pastime, then a job again. But now it is easy and sometimes a joy. Maybe enjoyable due to pay? Probably true. Could be due to different perspectives?

When writing in jobs, shortcuts or compromises or taken due to lack of time. When writing as a pastime, there is more freedom to explore thoughts and knowledge.

Thoughts move, while knowledge grows and appears to lurk in darkness?

Information energy? Can be transmitted, weakened, strengthened, destroyed, created. True information seems to resonate to form nodes of knowledge (constructive thoughts/information)?

Gun manufacturers, dealers, some lawyers, some lobbyists, gun magazines, ammunition makers, some advertising companies, some politicians and some owners appear to dislike government and regulations. Less government and regulations will further the distance to restrictive gun laws.

Guns are their ticket to the rich life. Over a hundred million guns in the US and probably a similar amount exported (many to criminal organizations). Seems like money rules (in) all nations. 

Do it the Korean way? Everyone who passes requirements is allowed own a gun, but the guns must be stored at the police station and checked out for use. LOL. A relic of dictator Park.

Attempts to change the law have been NON-EXISTENT. Why? Very few people make money from guns in Korea.

Although lots of Koreans own guns for hunting and sport, none are acquaintances. 

Corporations Required To Announce Large Investments

Listed corporations are required by law to announce plans for significant investments, such as large acquisitions. 

None of the listed corporations of the Korean conglomerates that pledged to invest vast amounts in the next years have filed such plans to date.

Wonder if they will file? Should be soon, if they really plan to spend money this year or even the first half of next year.

(CORRECTED - the pledges include past amounts that were pledged, I read. So, some of the investments have already been announced. It depends on the economy. If the economy is good, they will likely keep a majority of their pledges, if the economy is not so good, then no way).

Get paid to know these things. Is it a miracle? In many ways.

Think Korean conglomerates are cheering for a conservative win in the local elections next week because of comprehensive property taxes. The family owners, executives, corporations, acolytes, and relatives, own most of the real estate in Korea. 

The conservatives want to lower or eliminate comprehensive property taxes, but the progressive/liberal party holds a majority in the parliament, so the law is unlikely to be changed.

Almost all media only publish blatantly pro-Yoon, pro-conservative party articles ALL the time and call the opposition criminals and such. Yet, the conservatives are losing in many districts, over 50%. Hope the recent historical trend is maintained. hehe.

The progressive party holds over 50% of the seats in the parliament. Faint light of hope!

Real insights into Korean society, not BS from conservative media.

Absentee voting starts today.

Understanding Requires Common Ground

Or some mutual telepathic connection?

That's a very pertinent question.

All life appears to have some metaphysical connection, do you think? 

If 'do you think' is effective subliminal messaging, imagine the consequences of  'don't you think'?

A world populated by a lot of people who don't think, sounds familiar.

Why do these questions keep springing to the consciousness, aside from interest?

Could be the process of knowledge being created/discovered in my thoughts through cognitive consonance, or resonating good/positive thoughts...

Drug Addict?

Sounds worse than drug abuser and much worse than drug dependent, or the truest nickname drug liker?

Sounds like the term was deliberately meant to denigrate and alienate drug users?

Should terms that incite hatred against some people be banned? Ban people who use such terms? From the metaphysical universe, hehe.

Ever hear 'alcohol addict'? No, but addicted to alcohol, yes. 

Guess 'addict' could be used without malice, such as 'football addict'.

There's so much money flowing in stocks. Dollar is now strong against the Korean Won and some stocks are undervalued, so foreign investors are buying again in some sectors. Foreign investors mostly sold in the past year or so, if memory is correct. 

I am a 15% addict. Need 15% or more annual return on investment. 

Our Metaphysical Universe?

The other side of our universe with metaphysical properties, metaphysical dimensions, reverse entropy, metaphysical energy, metaphysical feelings, metaphysical black holes and more? Where truth resonates?

Mostly my metaphysical universe for now, until others see more of it. Could get crowded. Where to go?

Always wanted things in the past and get most of them? Try not to want anything special and see where it leads?

Korean Conglomerates To Invest Hundreds of Billions?

They have pledged to invest and create jobs at the start of every past conservative President's term and failed to do so.

Suspiciously happens just before local elections on June 1.

Whoa! Even conservative Korean publications are complaining that Korean conglomerates always pledge to invest at the start of a president's administration but fail to do so.  

Invest Chosun - 재계 '역대급 투자' 보따리…정권 교체때마다 봐야 하는 불편함 

Did you know Samsung used to give expensive gifts and presents to prosecutors and judges, in some cases tried to give? Not to mention company executives being convicted for wanton destruction of evidence.

Reuters: Samsung trial tests South Korea's rule of law

Betcha President Yoon grants Lee a pardon and erases his convictions. 50:50 odds.

In Samsung's defense, please note that it seems to be a South Korean conglomerate 'thing' based on past history. They haven't changed in the past, why expect change in the future?

Shouldn't be so negative? Be more objective?

Another metaphysical feeling. Can truth be felt in music? Think so, from my perspective.

Spoken Truth?

Does truth resonate in spoken statements or claims?

Or is truth of the spoken statements/claims resonating in my thoughts?

Could be both, as always.

All Want Raised Taxes?

BBC: Millionaires at Davos say 'tax us more'

Millionaires for Humanity, a growing network of millionaires clamoring for more tax.

Slightly more optimistic?

Metaphysical Black Hole?

When a theory or useful fact that is written or otherwise recorded is destroyed (water on ink, fire, etc.), where does that 'energy' and 'knowledge' go? 

If things appear and disappear without a trace, that's magic, right? What about zero point energy?

Okay, maybe not magic.

When we die, our experiences and stuff, where do they go? It's different from fluctuating quantum lowest energy state. It's like a really high energy state.

The 'energy' might be converted or transformed into another original form for storage, possibly recycling? That thought could be influenced by Buddhism. Still is very intriguing. 

Just had a thought. 

Can make knowledge with resonances of thoughts, but not with cognitive dissonance? 

That sounds vaguely similar to 'tune in, drop out', good vibes and the like?

Another one.

What if the phrase 'I don't think' was banned? Pretty sure it leads to people not thinking beyond survival and competition mode. Could be self-hypnosis, subliminal messaging or whatnot. hehe

Did you know some languages use 'I don't think' a lot more than other languages and it appears to be negatively manifested in that country's culture? Really. What languages? Have an entire nation hate me? No way.

Why is it that fundamental physical interactions can be described and predicted by mathematical formulas? There is a metaphysical structure, or metaphysical property to physical objects and interactions, maybe?

Knowledge is a type of metaphysical energy gained from observing physical interactions and learning through physical interactions? That needs to be divided down. Too complex. 

Prime Numbers Are Unique

Do they have other metaphysical properties as well?

Metaphysical entropy, metaphysical energy (knowledge, etc.), metaphysical black hole, metaphysical universe or world?

Can a metaphysical universe affect the physical universe in ways other than spoken or written words, music and other thought initiated physical actions? Resulting in life and order?

Maybe even affect space or gravity ever so slightly (dark matter or dark energy)?

Can a metaphysical dimension affect the physical universe? Similar question as before.

Pollution Related To Obesity?

 And genes control some personality traits?

All of the above are correct, according to recent studies.

The Guardian - Environmental toxins are worsening obesity pandemic, say scientists

Science Daily - CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing approach can alter the social behavior of animals

 

Take Out Religion And God, Still Something There

It seems.

Constructive overcomes destructive -- matter versus anti-matter, order versus disorder, true thoughts versus false thoughts, positive thoughts versus negative thoughts, and so on.

Can make music with resonances of frequencies, but not with dissonance.

Can make knowledge with resonances of thoughts, but not with cognitive dissonance?

Can think positively/constructively with resonances of thoughts, but not with cognitive dissonance?

Images can be created in minds from resonances of frequencies?

If thoughts can interact with the physical world and be stored in books and stuff, they exist in some form of energy, or dimension, in our heads. So this energy is stored in books and digital form and/or transmitted to others. Biological energy used versus energy of knowledge created?

Seems energy is created for a while and stored physically and in people's minds.

All physical things created will be destroyed in the end, theories say. So, even if thoughts are stored in physical form...

So, when this thought energy is destroyed in physical form, does it disappear? Energy is not supposed to disappear but is conserved, theories state. Does it go back to another dimension or form? Is it a metaphysical black hole, perhaps?

At what point, or stage, does logical/constructive thinking overcome just living and sacred of dying thinking?

Is this due to a force, energy, dimension, or even maybe natural law? For thought/knowledge, it needs to be a metaphysical dimension or a natural law for a metaphysical dimension?

Being Good Related To Knowledge, Feeling Content

If knowledge is equal to or a part of a Good dimension or a God, then physically recorded and voiced words are physical manifestations of that dimension or are avatars? Logos.

A dimension of information in place of a God, maybe? Or is it information energy? Could be both, probably all. 

Information is related to knowledge and is 'ordered' data. Positive things might resonate and create synergies in such a dimension?  

Decades of avoiding cognitive dissonance by sincerely trying to be good (true, clean, humble) leads to knowledge and feeling content? Sounds faintly similar to what religions promise, like Buddhism. 

Why are only some driven to learn, exercise, develop? Because they try? Others try and give up. Some dun even try.

Been saying the same things for decades now. Here's a new thought.

Some people say primitive cultures created religion to explain the world. 

There could have been a civilized race with great knowledge in ancient times and religion was the way for primitive races to explain why that civilized race was so advanced. And as that story was passed down orally through the ages... (could write a movie script with that).

Feeling content? Just chilling. 

Metaphysical Entropy

Life versus inanimate objects? 

Life is like reverse entropy, Molecules flow towards order and higher energy (albeit, due to consumption of energy). 

In humans, life plus experience equals knowledge, sometimes. Maybe, that is true for all life.

Much knowledge used to be forgotten and lost. Die and most of that thing's knowledge is gone. Some is passed on through education, some through genes, amazingly.

At least, much more of what people know and experience is recorded and digitally stored for who knows how long. AI working on all that data right now.

Learning Python (can be used for some machine learning and deep learning) and other courses. Encouraged to learn by company, so mindlessly learning for free.

Humans like to write and think? A few do? For the majority, it depends? 

Majority of humans don't seem to care? 

Has been like that through the ages, but a few keep trying to make things better and somehow things work out. Why? 

Is it something like reverse entropy due to some energy?

Consciousness?

Seems similar to a software routine that scrolls through past, current and predicted information about the body and environment to decide what to do next? Could be. 

Programmed to survive but something different in humans arose. Other animals still just pass time when stomachs are full and so did humans. 

Then farming, complex language, concepts (philosophy, metaphysics), math, science, technology, ... ?

Plus what? Why conscience? For the good of the group or family? Could be but...

Store and use knowledge? That's what humans do.

Could be that knowledge is or a part of something like a God (good energy, force, dimension, entity, classification)? 

What is knowledge? A metaphysical dimension or metaphysical force that indirectly affects physical dimensions seems like an accurate description.

Knowledge, conscience and some force linger, maybe resonate, in my thoughts.

Is conscience a part of knowledge? Yes, in a way. One knows that there are people starving and one did nothing to help them. But why feel bad? It's bad for the group or family instinct?

But why do only some feel bad? The ones who don't feel bad unconsciously avoid thinking about it, a type of cognitive dissonance? Cognitive dissonance is the disruption of logical thought due to actions or thoughts inconsistent with truth and logic? Could be.

Knowledge and some force are in my thoughts. That seems correct. Finally, a little progress.

Giving monthly to UNHCR and others helps me feel less guilty about my good middle class fortunes. Recommended for the empathetic. Certainly liberates the mind.

Glad I am not rich, in a few ways. Might feel too guilty for some reason. Have to think about how to put the money to good use. Might be tempted to go a different path. Worry about losing money. Too much free time if I didn't work.

Despite many negative things about the US, many Americans do care about what is good for the world. 

Americans probably donate the most money to charity and have countless philanthropists like Carnegie, Rockefeller, Gates and Buffet to name a few.

Then again, only the wealthy can afford to be generous (the poor cannot afford to but donate anyway). So wealth can be good and should be encouraged but not hoarded?

Without the US and under present circumstances, the future world would be likely be run by some Machiavellian dude.

Another peeve, what happened to fair play? God? Are you listening? Can a dimension or force hear? I doubt it. Doesn't have ears, so technically.

Seems like everyone is bending rules, using loopholes, breaking laws. Some even brag about it and become successful conservative politicians.

Atomic Bombs Caused Under Estimated 300,000 Deaths

Close to a million have died of COVID-19 in the US, the news said.

That's more deaths than from the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (Wikipedia).

Yet, there seems to be less importance placed on deaths caused by the coronavirus. Could be attributed to desensitization from over two years of news coverage and fear of accidental nuclear war.

One million lives needlessly lost because of opposition to wearing masks and vaccinations. 

Language And Mathematics

With math, it is possible to represent physical interactions and states with formulas.

With words, it is possible to transmit and store knowledge in sentences.

Need to think about this some more. Seems to be going somewhere?

Internet enables free access to information and knowledge.

Software programs, written with logic and words which are translated to assembly language and then to binary code before being sent into the chip via electric pulses, power artificial intelligence.

Store, access, utilize, understand or learn knowledge? 

Create, uncover, or learn knowledge? All? Yes, that seems right.

For new situations, knowledge is created. For some common situations, it's general knowledge, so it is learned or uncovered. 

Knowledge? Recognizing something, physical or metaphysical, enough to be able to perceive and react to any changes? Could be. 

Seems we could be biological machines running on AI software programmed to survive but feel bad about killing? Could be. 

Earth Is Overpopulated, Overpolluted, And More

So, why are governments encouraging and paying people to have more babies (South Korea, Japan, and others)? Economy (money) and Power (versus other countries; needed if one has neighbors like Russia and China).

Insane. 

Maybe, I'm the insane one? Everyone is insane to a degree. We are all in some ways illogical, in some ways very logical. 

The answers to many questions are not two-dimensional, most answers are at least four dimensional and are usually 'all', 'everyone', 'everything'.

And 'you' and 'me' are not the heart of the universe, though it seems so. There seems to be something else.

If humans survive and thrive with a smaller population, humans might say that they were behind it, human nature, it seems. 

Are humans that smart? Some are smart in certain things, but... 

Good jobs are hard to come by in Korea and Japan, believe it or not. Most employees are contractors or contracted employees, a popular global trend.

That's the main reason for not having children, I think. You dream of a better life for your kids, not hardship. 

So, the rich have kids, the poor give up. Then, if the rich have too many kids, same problem again. If they have few kids, then a small but rich population. Just thinking things through, like many others before me. 

Conservative think tanks and scholars have undoubtedly thought this through, you know?

Why Did Human Knowledge Increase Exponentially Just Recently?

Ethics and knowledge?

Survival of the fittest is an evolutionary explanation of development of organisms. 

Among early humans, probably the physically strongest led. Up until recent times, royalty ruled over their kingdoms. 

Although they credit the Greeks with democracy, they had slavery.

I tend not to believe history now. History taught in Russia, China, Japan, North Korea and other countries try to glorify their heritage and deny negative aspects.

Koreans invented the printing press before Gutenberg. The evidence is is our museums. But who knows, some other people could have invented it before Koreans.

Back to ethics and knowledge. It seems that with the rise of human rights, democracy, free speech, and such, technology also advanced accordingly. 

Education used to be only for royalty and higher class. Free education as a right is a recent thing.

A belief or faith that "good" (or something like a good energy, entity, or dimension) will lead to a better world seems to have created the conditions for humans to develop technology rapidly?

It's hard for me to believe humans are inherently intelligent and solely responsible for all the technological and social advances. Humans were not so smart for around a million years (first human ancestors appeared two million years ago). Why now?

Took a long time to abandon animal instincts and snap out of that survival of the fittest loop.

A Good dimension where Good resonates and is amplified? 

Plainclothes Cops in Hotels?

A few decades ago, I knew some policemen. Part of their jobs were to patrol major hotels and other places incognito. 

Probably, the intelligence services did similar things. 

Scary world?

Another thought. If you were an intelligent, happy and extremely conscientious worker, would you like to work remotely or at the office?

Some people can work independently, others cannot. Would it be better to have have intelligent, happy and extremely conscientious employees work remotely, rather than being annoyed by others who aren't?

Autonomous driving and drivers? Automation and workers? Artificial intelligence and translators, analysts, writers, teachers, etc.?

Maybe preparations are in order? 

AI is being used now at large corporations to automate work processes (financial, logistics, transactions, payroll, etc.) for analytics, checking for duplication and abnormalities, and other stuff. 

Business software with features utilizing AI have just started to come out in the past couple of years. The developers are getting more data and upgrading features. Should be the same in other sectors.

The sales pitch is that it frees up staff to do more productive work, but the bottom line is reduction of labor costs. You need less staff to do more work.
