Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment.

Subject : In a fast society slow emotions become extinct.

Emotion is what we experience during gaps in our thinking.

If there are no gaps there is no emotion.

Today people are thinking all the time and are mistaking thought (words/ language) for emotion.

When society switches-over from physical work (agriculture) to mental work (scientific/ industrial/ financial/ fast visuals/ fast words ) the speed of thinking keeps on accelerating and the gaps between thinking go on decreasing.

There comes a time when there are almost no gaps.

People become incapable of experiencing/ tolerating gaps.

Emotion ends.

Man becomes machine.

A society that speeds up mentally experiences every mental slowing-down as Depression / Anxiety.

A ( travelling )society that speeds up physically experiences every physical slowing-down as Depression / Anxiety.

A society that entertains itself daily experiences every non-entertaining moment as Depression / Anxiety.

FAST VISUALS /WORDS MAKE SLOW EMOTIONS EXTINCT.

We've got 10,000 years of harsh adaptation to stifle our human nature, creativity, and most basic biological needs. We can choke down milk, but it still makes us sick. But there's still a lot more before you can really say we've adapted to the situation. If we actually had evolved to be farmers by now, your son's situation wouldn't be a problem, would it? We may have begun that adaptation, but even the most civilized of us is still far more hunter than farmer.

The evaluating neuropsychologist explained that these kiddos are "Hunters and gathers". It rang true. My question was/is where in the public or private school system is he going to "fit in"? Not Montessori, not public, not private, not homeschooling. Hmmm. I also believe humans have evolved into farmers, for better or worse. So, now I spend my sons out of school hours consciously undoing the psych damage of the cookie cutter school system. A good part of his in school hours I am fighting the good fight. Changes have to be made for our kids. Gee why is there soooo much anger in our children? Glad to see there are people on the same page.

He talks about different mental "deficiencies" (The only problem I have with the book is that he labels these things deficiencies instead of just different ways people's minds work.) such as memory, problems, language difficulties, etc. The first chapter is on kids with attention problems. I like the way that Levine stresses the positive aspects of this type of thinking. He emphasizes that attention defecits are only a liability in the classroom environment and that these people's creativity and intelligence will serve them well outside of school.

Nice post. Sometimes I think it’s the defining dangerous fallacy of our time - and I think everyone finds themselves thinking it from time to time -

‘If everyone would just do as they’re told, we’d be alright, right?’

Nice post.

There would be no Dostoevsky, no Hemingway, no Joyce. A society of dull-minded robots is what we are becoming - the decline of Western civilization.
