The tyrant Trope and the Rise to Power of the Athenian Direct Democracy

   The tyrant Trope and the Rise to Power of the Athenian Democracy  Today we know that there is simply no good politician. The great majority of them are just outright awful; but even those that seem to be good cannot be trusted. Yes, there are some politicians who advocate for social justice and the rights of the have-not's; but we all know that all politicians are hypocrites, thus they are certainly only looking for popularity, so that they can soon become a tyrant. Obviously, such course of events should be stopped by all means, because, as much as we may associate tyranny to injustice, it is always better to stay entrenched in injustice than to live under a tyrant. For instance, if Pericles determined that Athenian public officers should be paid for their public service; it was not because he genuinely wanted to enable the lower classes to have access to public offices and, in general, to the political system, in order to achieve the expansion and stabilization of al...

From fake- Democracy to true democracy (Part 2): The scientific method is actually especially well-suited for impossibly complex, inscrutable questions such as the origin of Civilization, the State, power, love, intelligence, consciousness or human nature.

The following is part of Chapter IV of the first comprehensive scientific model of the mind (look for the "Scientific Brain Model" tab at the top of the home page).. There is the general misconception, according to which the scientific method's application domain is limited to the natural sciences and it cannot be employed for the investigation of complex abstract concepts such as civilization, state, power, love, intelligence, consciousness or human nature. Yet, nothing could be further from the truth, since the scientific method is nothing but a general, all-purpose recipe for learning the causes and reasons of stuff. Absolutely, so long we seek to understand what are the causes and reasons for certain stuff - that is, how a given thing works or how certain stuff comes about -, the scientific method can be applied to the investigation of any recognizable thing. As discussed in previous sections, the scientific method proceeds in repeated cycles, in each of which we pu...

Neural Population Codes, Nature's true democracy constitutes the basis of conscious thought and intelligent behavior (Part 2): The emergence of individual consciousness.

 Clearly we still have much to learn from Nature on how our consciousness is placed at the service of the entire organism. Indeed, if the conscious level of our brain, as the executive office of the animal organism, has direct control over the muscles, what prevents the neurons making up consciousness from emulating those at the top of human societies in taking advantage of using their power in their very own interest? The Ideology will of course always disingenuously put all the blame of human complex societies' dysfunctionality on the evil of human nature: human beings are selfish, only look after one's own, and will never feel any genuine concern for the wellbeing of others, let alone the common good. Yet, there is no indication that neurons are any tiny bit less selfish. Definitely, it is knot known that neurons feel any kind of love, compassion or concern for anything but themselves. In fact, to the extent that neurons have no soul nor brain and, consequently, it seems saf...

Neural Population Codes, Nature's true democracy constitutes the basis of conscious thought and intelligent behavior (Part 1): The emergence of collective consciousness.

 A careful analysis of Nature reveals that a perfect equilibrium of competition an cooperation is the key for any complex system fitness and success. Clearly, if the various parts unite and cooperate towards a common goal, the system will be stronger. Yet, who or how is such goal going to be set? Evidently it is no good to pull in the same direction, if the goal is a bad one and all efforts are aimed towards a wrong target. Nature seems to indicate that competition is the optimal form for a very complex system to determine what goals to strive for: several different prospective goals will be raised and compete against each other. Whichever comes out on top will be naturally selected as the system's next objective. Animal species are living proof of the optimality of this model of cooperation and competition. Indeed, the animal's brain will have all the cells in the organism work together in the same direction. On the other hand, inside the brain, various groups of neurons will ...

Why a system that only fakes to be a democracy can never work, but will only end up driving us all off the cliff.

Any careful analysis of Nature reveals that a perfect equilibrium of competition an cooperation is the key for any complex system fitness and success. Clearly, if the various parts unite and cooperate towards a common goal, the system will be stronger. Yet, who or how is such goal going to be set? Evidently it is no good to pull in the same direction, if the goal is a bad one and all efforts are aimed towards a wrong target. Thus, humanity works beautifully if there is a bit of inequality. A bit, just a bit, of inequality allows for leadership and brings some order to the society. However, as we see today, the society slowly becomes dangerously dysfunctional as inequality grows to the grotesque levels we observe now in our modern fake-democratic regimes.  As the present scientific brain model shows, humans follow the guidance of those stronger, more knowledgeable or - all in all - more powerful individuals, who we feel care for us. It is logical: if he or she loves you and wants th...

Fake-Democracy's Take On Health Care: They will not let you die, but they will not cure you either; it's just bad for business.

The following is part of "When A Man Loves A Woman" chapter 3: The Evil Fake-Democracy System.           . That our so-called Democracy does not work is something that I have long known; however, I could have never imagined the consequences would reach even the most critical aspects of our lives. During the last several years, I have been moving Heaven and Earth, trying hard to receive stem-cell treatment to clear the cornea opacities that have taken all my vision. All the eye-doctors I have consulted have always agreed stem-cells are my best option; but, shockingly enough, it would be impossible to get this done in the U.S.. As it turns out, national medical regulatory agencies such as the FDA in the U.S. or the EMA in Europe put health scientists through a diabolical ordeal, if they ever try to develop new therapies. For one thing - as a clinical-study research coordinator explained to me - it is outrageously expensive to conduct a clinical trial; not to...
