?WHY?

Throught my life i was wondering why. Why is the greatest question anyone can ask about anything. How, who, where... those are simple questions, often easily answered. But 'why' is often unanswered.

What do I mean?
Why am i writing this blog? Why are you reading it? Why did i chose this topic? Why do you agree / disagree with me? Why is it that depression, poverty, sickness, meaningless and general 'situational fucked-upness is taking over the world in such an alarming rate? Lets find out.

WHY am writing all this? Because everything about how society or human brain works you have learned in school or from your parents or on TV is either wrong, or if wright is really diluted superficial information that is compleately meaningless in any atemnt to really understand the topic.

The only way to understan society, human brain, sociology, psychology, history, progression and allmost all aspects of the world really, including the future, is this. You must start from now. If u start from the future you are starting from something that doesnt exist, so you are basing everything on something that doesnt exist. Same with the past, the past doesnt exist either.

You would have start at now and work your way back through the time very carefully and in detail. Only if u start from now and go back through time can u really apreciate the changes that have happened, and only than you can understand the society and everything else of any given time.

But there is so many societies! Which one do we follow back through time? 
The answer is simple. All of them. The fact there are differences in our world today is a huge tool to understanding how societies work as we can comapre them. We also compare them through time so it is an amazing way of understanding human brain as well as society. now i dont have time to explain the whole history and the possible futures ahead of us but i tought it might be important to know this is how you understand (learning is not a way to understand, it is a way to pass a test or look smart)

So there you have it. that answers how to understand the world of an individual and one of the society. It is not as complicatet as you would think. As i said, how is an easy question

                                       WHY

Why am i writing this blog? Why are you reading it? Why did i chose this topic? Why do you agree / disagree with me? Why is it that depression, poverty, sickness, meaningless and general 'situational fucked-upness is taking over the world in such an alarming rate? Lets find out.

 It would be incorrect (well.. it would be moronicly retardet) to look at the worlds problems separately. WHY? Because every aspect of ones life is what makes the world what it is. You can not say someone is depressed over a single event (by all means, there are events that can be devastating. we are just not focusing on those at the moment)
WHY NOT? It is more likely that event was 'the last drop' but even more logical would be that that event doesnt have to be the last drop. It could just be 'embodyment' of all the factors (not all, mind you, but all of the sort) that lead to the depression.

Same mistake would be (and is), for example, focusing on and teching about medical needs in underprivilaged countries.
WHY? Because if you have a society that is struggling on all levels. Society that is stricken with desease, hunger, poverty, homelesness, repression, slavory..etc..etc.. Why would you focus on medicine?
WHY NOT? It is important we (or at least those with power, resources, time, responsibility, agenda.. other means of influence) understand the whole society before we judge what is wrong with it and what needs to be fixed and how (and is it our place to get invloved in the first place) With no drinking water, no shelter, no food, no hope, the medicine can do very little, infact it is often a waste of resources  (much like pshichiatric treatments for depression and similar conditions).

 Lets focus on society first as it is easier to relate to (yes, it is easier to relate to not yourself than it is to yourelf) How can we understand society? The only way to understand it (much like anything else is to start from the basics and build on that. These are the basics of society. There are members of society, needs of the  society and resources available. And at any given point any of the three paramaeters can change. For example, members can restructure organisation of society, the resources available can obviously be exploited or new ones found etc. The needs is what we need to talk about.

What do we need? We dont need any of the things we 'cant't live without' today. All we need as individuals is food and water (and no, i didn't overlook oxygen or gravity or sun...) So what do we need as society? We need individuals, food and water. That is it, that is a society.

PUT

THE PERSONAL UNIVERSE THEORY

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where someone claims something happened in certain detail yet you know for a fact that is not how it happened? What do I mean? If you get in an argument with your partner, friend or anyone else and they insist you said something or they said something and you know with a 100% certainty it was not like that. This happens ALL THE TIME. Why? Is everione else a liar? Is everyones memory so much worse than yours? Based on the way human brain works the only solution to this is either of the above, there is no other logical conclusion.

But we know now that the ways we store information in our brains is not really as precise as it seams. We know that our momory is not exact science as it would be, for example, computer memory, or to make it more simple writing. When we have information written down it is exactly what it is, it is not subject to opinion, right?
John saw the man on the mountain with a telescope.
Who has the telescope? John, the man on the mountain, or the mountain?
Flying planes can be dangerous.
Either the act of flying planes is dangerous, or planes that are flying are dangerous.
The word of the Lord came to Zechariah, son of Berekiah, son of Iddo, the prophet.
Is the prophet Zechariah or Iddo?
 So what happens in our brain when we read one of those sentances? W don't store the exact sentance that we can later revise and see different meanings. We only store the information we get from it, and roughly so. After reading the first example sentance you will either store information that there was a man on a mountain and you would be 100% certain of it because John saw it himself with the telescope. Or you will know there was a man on the mountain with the telescope and u know it with 100% certainty because John saw him.

Imagine an argument now between the two people who got the sentance in two different ways. The question is did the man on the mountain have a telescope. One person (person A) will be convinced the man had a telescope and the other (person B) will be sure he didnt. So who is wright? Did the man have a telescope?

That sentance, the information both man are basing their convictions on, does not conclude weather the man had a telescope. Infact it doesnt even conclude there was a man on the mountain at all! Maybe john saw something (with his telescope) and taught it was a man, or maybe he saw something (without telescope) that looked like a man with a telescope.

So where does the PUT (Personal Universe Theory) come in?
The simplest way of explaining PUT is that in person A-s universe there was a man on the mountain with a telescope and John saw him. Where as in person b-s universe there was a man on the mountain and John saw him through his telescope. In my own universe, for example, there was no man on the mountain, there was no telescope, John doesn't exist, and even the mountain itself doesnt exist.

Other example would be if person A and person B saw the same movie and while talking about it they start arguing weather something happened before or after something else, or was the bad guy actually brother of the good guy. Those arguments can be settled by wacthing the movie again (or googling it or something) but untill it is resolved in each persons universe the story was set and they are suprised if it turns out to be different.

Unfortunately in most real life arguments (did the wife tell you about this meeting or not) there is no way to find out for sure what exactly happened and both parties maintain their side of the story as they both know they're wright and are certain of it.

Why do we spend so much time fighting over who is wright? Because we are so certain we are wright we have a need to enlighten the other person. We presume that in an argument where we know we are wright and the other party claims something different (even opposite), the other person must be wrong.

Opposite of wright has to be wrong.
Cant argue with that. So opposite of 'our wirght' has to be 'our wrong'. If in our own Personal Universe something is wright, opposite of that is, infact, wrong in that sam universe (but not the universe of the other person). Therefore, two different (opposite) opinions on a subject that can not be conclusivly defined can, infact, both be wright (in their respective universes)
