Taking Advantage of the Depressed?

Depressed people lash out and are likely to vent anger. Depression is a phase for some, while others are chronically affected.

Conservative parties of Korea, the US, and other nations lash out and vent anger at the opposition and lie. 

Some estimate that over a third of the population is depressed, even higher in times of recession or oppression.

These depressed people are likely to be stirred up and empathize with the hate speeches and lies, leading to cognitive dissonance.

That could be why Yoon and Trump got elected, IMHO.

Times I Fell Asleep While Highway Driving

3 or 4 times, but no accidents. Car slightly scrapped once by a barrier.

Luckily, my foot fell off the accelerator and the car stopped in all instances ranging from 1am to 5am.

Several cancers and surgeries, two vehicle accidents, diabetes, gall bladder removal, kidney stone removals, high blood pressure, obesity, and must be others. Currently malignant-cancer free, almost normal weight, problem with gall duct, etc. I get checkups for various things two months or so.

Familiar faces dying every year. Only one or more decades left, probably.

Decided to drink alcohol a few times a year. Reunions, mostly. Many friends are very in favor of the decision. Decided to drink and was offered a $1,500 bottle of wine to drink as well as other ones. Wine and spirits collector friend. 

Never thought I would experience really fine wine. Friend decided to start drinking his wine and whiskey collections. Told me it was hard to start drinking them but decided to enjoy while he could.

1+1=2?

One electron plus one proton equals neutral hydrogen, but neutral hydrogen has different properties than one electron and one proton separated.

So, it is like 1+1 is more than 2.

Molecules plus a certain structure (information) equals RNA or DNA. Where did the information come from? By chance?

Where does wisdom come from? By chance? 

Thoughts to mediate on...

Consciousness?

Stream of consciousness seems to be the right phrase.

Meanings and concepts could arise from the 'brain' trying to consolidate and understand all the incoming and stored data in the body (nerves, chemicals in cells, synapses, parts of the brain, etc.).

Primitive cells or life would have limited understanding and concepts. 

Still, where does wisdom and conscience come from?
