Introduction

Well, I finally decided to put my ideas down. I feel almost hypocritical using a Blog for this as I hold a distaste for them in general, but sometimes there is only 1 option available to you.

This Blog will be about my interests in general, which are surprisingly specific. From the onset the bulk of information will be mixed between two subjects: The Brain, and Neutrality

The first is a collection of theories on the human brain (some cited and some self-concocted) and its implications on the whole of the world including religion, philosophy, society, and morals among others. For the record I consider myself an atheist, while at the same time I feel I am more faithful and hopeful than any other person I come in contact with(including the religious). I believe that the most significant factor that has shaped all of human history is the mechanism of the brain. In all of human history it has been the only true constant. We live in a real world that is highly complex, but in that complexity there are only a finite number of true relations between conceptual objects. The human brain only has to be as complex as the world around it to understand it, and it is. It however is not perfect. The ability to hold a belief is also implicates the ability to hold a false belief. The most significant false belief was due to our inability to understand the world around us like we do now: Religion. Now I am not going to say the stereotypical atheistic idea that all religion is wrong, at least not in such a blatant way. It is my belief that most all religions were interesting and highly believable explanations for the world around us. But why were they so believable? Because they utilize the brain's own system to insert itself into and even sometimes abuse it. The range of this Blog will go into detail about this through history as well as show how science and religion should not be opposed as they are now. The real picture is unknown and that is sure, but with this view, religious events as well as scientific theory can help each other to find the truth. This gets to my second topic: polarization.

I have a general distaste for polarization in any kind. I believe the world has lost its ability to compromise intelligently. Everywhere we look there is the overarching concept of black and white, right and wrong. This groups everything into collections of opposing forces. In the chaos confusion causes all that are involved into believing that black and white are synonymous with wrong and right, but in actuality, they are nothing but opposing. Once this happens the question of right and wrong is lost, and these arbitrary collections are all that matter. Now this is semi-abstract, but examples make it sound like I am talking specifics. I can make this sound like a socio-political object by listing examples of Republicans vs. Democrats, Arabs vs. Israelis, science vs. religion, but these are just what they are: examples, nothing more. The bigger picture is the fact that there is no real Gray Force, that understands the arbitrary conflict of hate for the sake of hate, and attacks that conflict itself. It would understand that there just because there is a dispute that neither side is necessarily right, that each side is usually based in something truthful but has lost its roots. However, this is not a gray annoyance, it is a Force, and it would use all its power to find that which is right and that which is truth. This is a world that is in dire need of the so-called radical moderate, whom fights and fights hard for neutrality.

Now it appears that the two interests are completely divergent, but in time the ideas come full circle. It is a funny thing to be noted that in millenia past science, religion, and philosophy were essentially the same entity. But now science and religion became polarized due to differing views on truth. Philosophy, a neutral entity in the conflict is left in the dust to waste away with quiet philosophy students that will never speak outside their realm. My main hope here is to attempt not to revive archaic philosophy that in general is dying on its own. Instead I hope to create a new realm of thought that combines neuro-science, a selected few philosophical ideas and spiritual concepts, to make a coherent outlook of the human, and society that even the most secular person can have faith in, while the most religious person can accept.
