We must observe something to understand
it
The only way to understand wolves,
hummingbirds, and other
animals is to gather "personal"
and "private" information
about them, such as by putting cameras in their homes, or tracking
collars around their neck.

The only way we can understand humans is to gather as much detailed
information about ourselves as we gather about animals. We must be able
to differentiate between an environmental
influence and a genetic
influence. That requires us to eliminate secrecy and maintain a People
database that has detailed data about everybody's life and genetic
characteristics, and the lives and genetic characteristics of our
parents and grandparents. That database will allow us to compare
everybody's genetics and environment to determine what affects our
life, and how.
For example, a recent report claims
that older Americans are more likely to have a stroke if their parents
got divorced while they were children. If that report is accurate, the
only way to understand how divorces are increasing the chance of
strokes would be to analyze detailed data about everybody's genetic and
environmental characteristics.
If we had a People
database with detailed data about everybody, we would undoubtedly
discover that the people who are most likely to have unpleasant
marriages and divorces are those with some inferior genetic
characteristics that interfere with their relationships.
Our behavior during courtship and marriage closely resembles that of
apes and other animals, which is proof that our genetic characteristics
dominate our behavior with the opposite sex. Therefore, the people who
have the most trouble forming pleasant and stable relationships with
the opposite
sex are likely to have less desirable genetic characteristics. For
example:
•
|
|
The people who are the most
deceptive, secretive, and dishonest with potential spouses.
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
The people who are suffering from
such mental disorders as OCD, ADHD, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder.
Those problems can cause them to be miserable,
anti-social, irritating, violent, introverted, selfish, or develop
abnormally strong
attractions to alcohol,
dangerous recreational activities, obnoxious pranks, pet animals,
gambling, or drugs. |
|
|
|
•
|
|
The people who have so little
interest in a relationship that they choose a spouse according to his
wealth, status, or sexual appearance, rather than his personality and
compatibility. The royal families of Europe, and many of the other
wealthy and famous people, seem to be in this category.
|
The people who have miserable marriages, or who get divorced, have
inferior genetic characteristics to those who form pleasant and stable
marriages. Therefore, their children are likely to have inferior
genetics. Their children would not inherit a gene to have strokes,
however. Rather, they would inherit an inferior mind and/or body, which
results in a detrimental effect on their health.
Our health is affected by our decisions, such as our meals, our
sleeping habits, our use of alcohol or drugs, and our recreational
activities. The people with mental problems will, as a group, make
inferior decisions about maintaining their health, which can result in
them having more health problems even if they were born with a healthy
body. The divorce of their parents does not cause them to have health
problems. Rather, their health problems are the result of inheriting
inferior genetic characteristics.
If we could analyze everybody's life, we might discover that the
children of divorced parents are suffering from more than an increase
in strokes. They might also be more likely to be overweight, alcoholic,
have gambling problems, and have more debt.
To complicate this issue, a divorce alters the social environment of
children, and that can have an indirect effect on their health. For
example,
the children will have one less parent to provide guidance, and usually
the parent that is missing is the father. Since mothers are more likely
to pander to their children, an analysis of children being raised by
divorced mothers might show that those children tend to have a less
healthy diet, get less exercise, and have less pressure to learn, work,
think, and deal with criticism.
To add more complexity to the issue, an analysis of people over the
past few centuries would show us that divorce has been increasing
faster than genetic defects have been increasing, which means that some
of the divorces are the result of changes in our social environment
rather than genetic degradation.
An analysis of our culture during the past few centuries would show us
that
the feminists have been increasing divorces by giving people warped
views of life and marriage. We would also discover that the
Hollywood celebrities and billionaires are inadvertently causing an
increase in divorce by encouraging people to become more concerned with
wealth and fame than human relationships.
After the Jews killed President Kennedy, they began pushing the "do
whatever feels good" philosophy, which undoubtedly increased divorces
by encouraging people to become more selfish, inconsiderate, and
abusive, and by putting more emphasis on sex and less on affection and
socializing.
We don't have a People
database yet so we cannot analyze and compare people to determine what
is different about those who have miserable marriages, and historians
are not yet providing us with honest or accurate analyses of history,
so we cannot analyze how changes in our culture have affected
marriages, but the point of the above paragraphs is that
we need such a database in order to understand why we behave the way we
do, and what is affecting our health, goals, attitudes, marriages, and
culture.
However, it will be emotionally unpleasant for us to gather information
about ourselves because:
1) |
We become frightened when we notice
that somebody is observing us because have the fear that most animals
have; namely, that a creature that is observing us is likely to attack
us.
|
2)
|
We have intense cravings to be at
the top of the hierarchy, and to
attract a spouse, and that causes us to want to impress people, not let them know
the truth about us. We want to
hide the characteristics that we are embarrassed about. |
In order to gather information about humans, we must change our culture
to put us under pressure to be honest about ourselves. If we were
raised in a culture that promoted the concept that humans
are a species of ape, and that it is idiotic
for us to be ashamed of our animal characteristics, and that
we benefit by knowing the truth about ourselves and each other, then we
would have
an easier time being honest about our crude characteristics.
All throughout history, every culture has been promoting the
anti-evolutionary fantasy that we are a creation of a
supreme
being, or that we are like clay, and those philosophies cause people to
be ashamed of their sexual organs, body odors, digestive system, and
some of their emotions.
The anti-evolutionary fantasies cannot provide sensible explanations
for why we have
a temper; a nose that produces excessive quantities of mucus; or
a digestive
system that creates stinky waste products. Those fantasies
also cannot explain why we have trouble controlling our consumption of
food;
why our bodies produce odors; why we
dribble droplets of pee; why we have orgasms in our sleep if we
don't have sex or masturbate once in a while; and why some people
commit crimes, have bipolar disorders, or have
problems with alcohol, cocaine, or gambling.
The people who believe those anti-evolutionary fantasies develop an
unrealistic view of
humans that conflicts with what they notice about their body and mind.
Their reaction is to be embarrassed or ashamed of their mucus,
masturbation, farts, body odors, temper, selfishness, arrogance, and
sexual cravings. It also causes them to make the stupid assumption that they will protect children by
preventing them from learning about or seeing naked bodies, childbirth,
breast-feeding, and sex.
If children were raised in a culture that taught them that they were a
species of ape, and that each of us is a unique jumble of genetic
characteristics, they would become adults who would have an easier
time acknowledging their animal characteristics and genetic defects.
They would also realize that it is idiotic
for somebody to deny his crude characteristics and pretend to be
superior to other people.
Those adults will be more willing to be observed by scientists because
they would not be afraid that the scientists would discover that
they have animal characteristics.
Our clothing styles provide
evidence to support the theory that we will become accustomed to being
observed simply by changing our culture. The children who were raised
in a culture in which the women hide
their head become adults who are terrified at the thought of women
showing their naked head in public.
By comparison, the children who have been raised around naked heads
have no embarrassment or fear of it. We are not afraid
that somebody will notice that our face has imperfections, or that our
teeth are crooked, or that our
face is ugly.
Furthermore, each group of people believes that their culture is
intelligent and sensible, and that other cultures are stupid or
disgusting.
If we could travel back in time to when nudity was common among our
ancestors, and demand that they keep their bodies hidden, and that they
hide themselves when they give birth and breast-feed babies, they would
regard us as lunatics.
People today are terrified of naked heads, naked bodies,
breast-feeding, sex, body odors, and earwax because we are animals. We
become accustomed to whatever culture we were raised with, and we
become frightened at the thought of doing something different. We also
assume that our culture is perfect, and that other cultures are
disgusting.
The anti-evolutionary culture is causing us to be embarrassed and
ashamed of our body and mind, and especially what we do in bedrooms and
bathrooms. That results in us being secretive
and deceptive about ourselves,
which makes it difficult to find compatible spouse and friends, and
makes it impossible for scientists to adequately study humans.
We will be able to form better relationships, and get a better
understanding of ourselves, if we stop the secrecy and deception. This
requires us to stop being ashamed of our animal
qualities.
We need to alter our culture, and provide ourselves with leaders
who can admit in public that they fart; have
mucus in their nose; and dribble pee.
We also need our leaders to admit that they have selfish, angry, and
irrational
thoughts on a routine basis, and that they occasionally have trouble
controlling their cravings for food and status. We need leaders who can
admit that they are apes.
If we restrict our leadership positions to people who can publicly
admit to having animal characteristics, and who design the school
curriculum to teach children about our animal characteristics, then
everybody will be less ashamed of themselves, and that will allow us to
study the human race, and compare ourselves to animals.
That type of culture will provide us with a lot of benefits, such as
allowing us to use rinsing
tunnels. It would also allow us to experiment with clothing and
furniture. For example, some
women complain that men tend to spread their legs when we sit, but we
do that because we have organs between our legs, and the clothing and
seat cushions add to the problem by adding material to that area.

I removed some
of the foam in the crotch area, and that makes this cushion more
comfortable.
|
If we can acknowledge that men have sexual organs dangling between
their legs, just like male animals, then we would be able to experiment
with our furniture and clothing, and we might eventually develop some
comfortable variations.
We don't expect women to wear elastic bands around their chest to press
their breasts into their rib cage in order to hide
their breasts, and we should not expect men to pretend that there is
nothing between our legs. It is idiotic
for us to be ashamed of our
sexual organs. We have the body of an animal, and we should
acknowledge it and design our clothing and furniture to
deal with it.
All of us occasionally behave
in
irrational, selfish, emotional, and idiotic manners, but every culture
encourages us to be ashamed of that behavior, rather than admit to
having animal characteristics.
Every culture promotes the more pleasant
fantasy that we are a creation of a supreme being, or that we are like
pieces
of clay.
We admit to having crude
behavior only when we can benefit from it, such as when we can get pity
for it, or when we are under pressure to admit to it.
In order to understand human behavior, we must allow scientists to
gather as
much surveillance video as we can tolerate, and gather all of our
medical data, school records, and job performance reports. This
requires a significant change in our culture,
and it requires a complete change in leadership.
Specifically, our culture must teach children that humans are animals, and we must have
leaders who admit to having animal qualities rather than pretend that
they are perfect creations of a supreme being. By acknowledging that we
are animals, we will be less embarrassed about our crude
characteristics, and more willing to allow scientists to gather
information about us.
Surveillance video helps
us understand ourselves
If we had surveillance
video of the entire human population during the
past million
years, most of us would be embarrassed of some of the
behavior
of ourselves and our
ancestors, but that video would allow us to understand how apes evolved
into humans, and which behavioral characteristics are inheritable.
This
news article claims that " An
epidemic of vicious school brawls" is fueled by cell phones, but if we had
surveillance video of all of the students, we would notice that only some of the students with cell
phones are getting into fights. If we also had detailed surveillance
video and data about the lives of the parents and other relatives of
all of the students, we would be able to determine whether the students
who get
into fights seem to be inheriting characteristics
that make them more likely to get into fights.
Likewise, we would be able to determine whether the children who have
abusive parents, and who become abusive to their own spouse or
children,
are learning that behavior from their parents, as every culture is
insisting, or inheriting it.
When the software that analyzes surveillance video becomes more
advanced, it will be able to help us understand ourselves in many ways.
For example, by observing bleeding and scabs on our skin, the software
can help us identify who among us has a better ability to heal from
cuts and surgery.
The software would also
notice that some people cut themselves more often than average. That
would allow us to determine whether they have a problem with their
coordination or concentration, or whether it is because their job
exposes them to risky activities, in which case we might be able to
reduce the injuries by altering their working conditions or safety
equipment.
Surveillance video helps
us identify children with problems
Analyzing the behavior of children
in surveillance video, and then analyzing them when they become adults, would help us to determine
which behavioral characteristics are symptoms of problems. For example,
do
children who enjoy making loud noises, such as popping balloons, tend
to become adults with behavioral problems? Do the children who spend
more time crying or having tantrums become adults with undesirable
behavior? Do the children who complain about doing household chores and
want to "have fun" become adults who try to avoid about "work",
learning, thinking, and responsibility?
Every culture as of 2024 promotes the theory that almost all of our
behavior is the result of our environment. Every culture believes
that hoarders, alcoholics, drug addicts, and criminals are the result
of such environmental issues as poverty, being
bullied at school, or learning the behavior from parents or other
children. However, those theories are based on what we want to believe, not on scientific evidence.
If we could collect surveillance video of everybody's life, it would
help us determine how many of the problems we suffer from are due to
the environment, and how many of them are due to genetic
characteristics of our brain.
For example, surveillance video of all of the alcoholics would show us
how many of them have been able to stop drinking, and of those
reformed alcoholics, how many of them ended up with some other problem,
such as marijuana, religion, collecting items, pet dogs, or
sports. Those particular reformed alcoholics are evidence that there is
something wrong with their brain, and even though they had the ability
to stop drinking, they could not
fix their mental problem, so
they merely replaced alcoholism with some other, less destructive
activity.
For another example, surveillance video of everybody would help us
determine why some people put so much effort into trying to become
billionaires, famous celebrities, or government officials, and why
some of them are willing to commit crimes in order to become wealthy
and famous. We would be able to compare those people to their brothers
and sisters, and to other people in a similar environment, and that
would help us determine whether their obsession with wealth and status
is
genetic or environmental.
Surveillance video would also help us understand why some people become
obsessed with religion. Many or most people assume that the religious
fanatics are among the
best behaved, most honest, most dependable, and most loving people. In
the USA and Europe, most voters prefer a candidate who shows a strong
interest in religion.
However, if we had surveillance video of
everybody's life, we would likely discover that all of
the religious fanatics are suffering from serious mental
disorders. We would likely discover that there is a significant
difference between the genetic characteristics of a person who believes
in a supreme being, and a person who becomes obsessed with religion, just as
there is a significant difference between a person who drinks a beer
once in a while, and a person who drinks every day to the point of
intoxication.
Most people assume that religious fanatics are kind, loving,
nonviolent, and gentle because they frequently quote remarks in the
Bible about loving one another and treating people with respect.
However, there are a lot of police reports about crimes committed by
religious fanatics.
For example, Douglas Benefield would classify as a religious "fanatic"
because he would do such things as send Bible verses to
his daughter every morning.
but his temper was so bad that one time he
fired a gun towards the ceiling of his home.
He ended up getting killed
by his wife, who claimed that she killed him in self-defense, and that
he was trying to poison her, although we will never know the truth
because there
is no security video of the event, or evidence that she was poisoned.
After his death, his brother, Dave, wrote this
document which can help us understand why he and his brother became so
religious. Dave became a religious fanatic when he was in college in
order to control his undesirable
behavior. Dave described it as:
When I met Jesus, my life changed
immediately - where I once had an insatiable desire for partying, I now
had an insatiable desire to know God. As I read the Bible and got more
involved in my church, my life changed dramatically. I dropped out of
the fraternity and spent hours reading the Bible and learning to pray.
Jesus captivated my heart, and the old destructive habits just fell
away. Depression left and joy came in. Where I had felt so lost, I
finally had a direction for my life.
That should make us wonder if his brother also became a religious
fanatic in order to control his undesirable behavior.
Dave also believes that God's "spirit" communicated with his spirit. He
wrote:
I did not hear God's audible voice,
but as clearly as I prayed the silent prayers - audible only to my
spirit - my spirit heard God's Spirit answer me in a way that I will
never forget.
That should make us wonder if his brother also believed that God was
talking to him.
People who believe that God is communicating with them have a dangerous mental disorder because
they might imagine God telling them that it is acceptable for them to
have sex with children, or to steal items from a corporation because
they deserve the items, or that they should beat their children or
spouse because they are possessed by the devil.
If we had surveillance video of everybody related to Douglas Benefield,
we might discover that their
family has been passing mental disorders from one generation
to the next, and that it is results in some or all family members
having bad tempers, or " an
insatiable desire for partying",
or some other significant behavioral problem. We might discover that a
lot of the family
members use religion to control their bad behavior.
Surveillance video would also help us determine whether his wife,
Ashley Benefield, was correct that Douglas was poisoning her, abusive,
and killed his previous wife, or whether she was suffering from mental
disorders that caused her to imagine such things.
Ashley was 24 years old and Douglas was 54 years old when they met each
other, and they got married 13 days later. If we could analyze
everybody's life and compare people to one another, we might discover
that most, or all, of the people who get married so quickly, and who
also have such large age differences between them, are suffering from
serious mental disorders.
The people related to Douglas Benefield might be embarrassed to have
scientists analyze them, and schools use their family to teach children
about human behavior, but they should be glad that they can provide
scientists with information about human behavior, religion, murder, and
other issues. Likewise, all of us should be willing to contribute
information about ourselves and our families so that we can all get a
better understanding of the human race.
Some people are willing to donate their dead body to medical research,
and we should be just as willing to donate information about our lives
to the research of humans. We should not let the people who are ashamed
of themselves intimidate us into allowing secrecy and deception.
Eliminating secrecy has
other benefits, also
Eliminating secrecy and
collecting data about everybody will provide us with a lot of benefits
besides helping us understand human behavior. For example, it makes it
easier for the police to resolve
crimes; it allows us to reminisce
about our past; it allows us to know where our family members and
friends are without having to bother them with phone calls; and it
allows us to deliver
packages directly to people no matter where they are in the city.
Here are eight examples of the value of eliminating secrecy,
tracking people, and
collecting surveillance video and other data.
Example #1: Phone calls
The existing cultures
provide everybody with so much secrecy that it is impossible for us to
know who is calling us on the phone, or whether we are being called by
a person, a computer, or a business. The existing cultures also
tolerate such a high level of crime that criminals can get away with
using a fake phone number.
By allowing the city computer's to track everybody, and identify people
by their face and voice, the computers will know who is making a phone
call. This allows the computer to identify who is making the call,
regardless of which phone he uses. It will also allow the computer to
let a person know whether he is being called by a person or a computer.
That level of surveillance will provide us with a lot of options that
are impossible in the existing culture. For example:
•
|
|
A person could specify to his phone
that while he is in a restaurant, he does not want any voice phone
calls, and will only accept text messages. By having the city computer
track everybody, the computer would know when he enters and leaves a
restaurant, so he would not have to turn his phone on or off, or change
any of the settings on his phone. The computer would do it
automatically every time he goes into the restaurant.
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
A machinist who is making a
complicated component on a CNC milling
machine could put a small "wrist phone" on his arm, and take a bicycle
ride,
and tell the phone to block all calls except from
that particular CNC machine. By tracking everybody, the city computer
would know when he was finished with his bicycle ride, and it would
then allow all phone calls to go through.
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
We could tell our phone
that if a particular person
calls us during the next two hours, to give him a particular message.
For example, in the image below a woman has borrowed a phone from a
friend to call her daughter, Linda. The city's computer recognizes who
she is,
and that allows the computer to know that she is referring to her
daughter when she says "Call Linda".
The computer checks to see if Linda is near a
phone, and if she has a specified what to do with phone calls. In this
example, the computer responded with the message that Linda specified
in case her mother called her before dinner.
If
Linda's mother had not asked
to call Linda, the computer would
have deleted Linda's message at dinnertime.
If Linda had specified a different message if one of her friends called
her, then they would have received a different message than her mother.
That feature allows us to
avoid bothering a
person with unnecessary messages. It is similar to changing the
recorded message on an answering machine, except that this feature
allows us to have specific messages for specific people, and for
specific times, rather than one generic message for everybody.
Also, we don't have to record our own message. We have the option of
telling the computer what the message is, and the computer uses its own
voice.
|
Example
#2: School
curriculum
As the computer software
gets better at analyzing the behavior of
people, the
surveillance video of children will eventually be able to help us to
improve our school curriculum.
For example, the Schools Minister could arrange for one school to
provide the children with exercises in giving orders to a robot. That
might help the children figure out how to explain
their thoughts more accurately.
Children do a terrible job of explaining themselves because they assume
that what they know and see is what other people know and see. This is
most obvious when they play the game of hide and seek, and they assume
that when
they close their eyes, nobody can see them.

Giving children
practice in controlling robots might help them learn how do a better
job of explaining their thoughts.
|
By having software analyze the surveillance video of the children who
have had to give orders to robots, and comparing them to the children
who have not had such exercises, we might discover that the
children who get practice controlling robots become better at
communicating with one another, their teachers, and their parents.
It would also show us which particular exercises are the most useful
for helping the children. For example, the children might not learn
anything if all they do is tell a robot to play music, but they might
improve their communication abilities when they have to get two or more
robots to work together as a team.
Comparing the children in different schools will also allow the Schools
Minister to determine which type of curriculum is causing the children
to be more neat in their classroom, or have fewer arguments or injuries
during their recreational activities.
Likewise, analyzing the surveillance video and other data that is
collected about the teenagers in Teentown would help to show which
curriculum is causing the teenagers to develop more useful skills, have
less arguments, maintain the best health, and have fewer accidents with
vehicles, knives, and slippery surfaces.
It would be difficult to determine which school curriculum is the most
productive when we don't collect data on the behavior of the children.
Secrecy is detrimental. We need to gather data on ourselves, and
compare ourselves to one another.
Example #3: Hoarders
A small percentage of the
population today is classified as a "hoarder", but the secrecy
that we provide everybody makes it impossible to determine who should
be classified as a hoarder; what causes people to become hoarders; and
whether men or women are more
likely to become hoarders.
This
document claims that both men and women are equally likely to be
hoarders, but this
document claims that some studies have shown that women are more likely
to be hoarders, and other studies have shown that men are more likely
to be
hoarders.
Women have a reputation for being more neat and clean than men, but the
television programs about hoarders, such as Hoarders,
and Hoarders;
Buried Alive, make it seem that women and homosexual men are more
likely to become hoarders. The television producers arrange for people
to help the hoaarders clean their home, but the women seem to spend more time
whining
about being abused, misunderstood, and insulted.
The reason there is so much confusion about whether men or women are
more likely to become hoarders, and why some people become hoarders, is
because
we
provide people with so much secrecy that it is impossible to properly
study the human race. Many researchers depend upon volunteers to
provide information or participate in experiments, but
volunteers are never a random
sample of the population. Furthermore,
when people realize that they are participants in a research program,
their
behavior
often changes from what it would otherwise be.
By eliminating secrecy, we will be able to collect more accurate data
about human behavior, and that will give us a much better understanding
of the similarities and differences between men and
women, children and adults, and different races. That will allow us to
get a better understanding of hoarding,
OCD, bipolar disorders, alcoholism, and other problems.
Although most of us don't have those problems, that is not
justification for ignoring these issues. There is no dividing line
between a "normal" person a person with an OCD problem, or between an
alcoholic and a normal person.
Even more significant to all of us, there is no dividing line between a
"hoarder" who has a lot
of "junk", and a "wealthy" person who has a lot of "luxuries".
Although some hoarders have such serious mental problems that they
allow their home to become full of rotten food, trash, rats, and human
and animal waste, most hoarders collect items that have value. Some
hoarders have such extensive collections of clothing, dolls, beer cans,
comic books, vinyl records, or toys that they could create a museum
display or a retail store.
Some hoarders gather items that they plan to use, such as creating art
to decorate their home, give as gifts, or sell to the public; fixing
broken items to use or sell; gathering scrap to sell to recyclers; or
gathering items for a collection. However, after they gather items
for a project, they put the items aside because they don't have the
desire to work on the project. Instead, they gather items for another
project. They repeat this cycle over and over, and eventually their
house
is cluttered with projects that they never finish.
What is the difference between:
a) |
The hoarders who
have so much clothing that their home is cluttered with it.
|
b)
|
These
wealthy people who have more shoes than they can wear.
|
Both groups are collecting more items than they need or use, but the
wealthy
people arrange their horde in a clean and orderly manner. Therefore, we
could say that the primary difference between a "hoarder" who has
cluttered his house with
items,
and a "wealthy" person who has a
large collection of items, is that
the
wealthy people have enough self-control to limit their purchases to the
items that they can fit in their home; are better able to
organize their possessions; and have the ability to complete their
projects. The
wealthy people could be described as "neat and talented hoarders".
The hoarders insist that all of their items are valuable, and they have
tantrums when the people who are helping them clean their house discard
items without their approval. However, the wealthy people would also
have tantrums if somebody were to discard some of their "unnecessary"
shoes, clothing, or other items.
Furthermore, many wealthy people have homes that have with rooms they
do not need and never use, and they would have tantrums if they were
forced to move into a smaller home that is the size that they actually
use.
Some of the wealthy people also have automobiles they don't need, and
boats they rarely use, just like some of the hoarders that have
automobiles or boats cluttering their yard.
There is no dividing line between people
If we could thoroughly understand the human mind, we would discover
that there is no dividing line
between a hoarder and other people. We would discover that everybody could
be described as a "hoarder", but that we
differ in how dense and messy our horde is.
At one extreme are the people who don't want many material items in
their home, and at the other extreme are the people who want a lot of
items.
We also differ in how we organize, clean, and maintain our horde of
items. One extreme are the people who are so messy that they
have rats living in their horde, and at the other
extreme
are the people with OCD who arrange their items
so neatly and precisely that it looks like a
robot did it.
People who are messy are not
necessarily hoarders. Some messy people
want a "normal" amount of material items, but they don't have a
"normal" interest in cleaning or organizing the items. Some messy
people are wealthy, also.
Likewise, some OCD people are hoarders, but their horde of items
is so neatly arranged and clean that we are likely to regard them as
"collectors".
We don't understand the human mind well enough to be sure
who should be classified as OCD, a hoarder, or mentally ill. For
example, Jay Leno has a large collection
of automobiles. Is he " enjoying his
wealth", or is he " suffering
from a mental disorder"? Is he an " organized hoarder"?
Jay Leno says that he has dyslexia, and he boasts that: " The one great thing about being
dyslexic is you tend to focus like a laser beam." He boast about
being dyslexic, but there is no evidence that people with dyslexia
improves a person's life.
Rather, there is evidence that humans are arrogant and have intense
cravings for status, and these emotional characteristics cause us to
boast about ourselves. We will even boast about qualities that are
detrimental, such as ADHD and dyslexia.
People who are suffering from low self-esteem or internal pains will
also frequently look for opportunities to boast about themselves in
order to make themselves feel better. Boasting, especially about mental
problems, is more likely to be a sign that the person is suffering, not enjoying life.
Although nobody understands what dyslexia is, or how the different
variations of it affect our behavior and
thoughts, we can be certain that there is no dividing line between the
people with dyslexia and the
people without. All of us have physical and mental problems. The
difference between us is that some people's problems are more serious.
Since we are extremely arrogant and want to be at the top of the social
hierarchy, we resist looking critically at ourselves and admitting that
we have mental and physical imperfections. Instead, we ignore or boast
about our imperfections. For example is Tim Cook boasted
that his homosexuality is "among the greatest gifts God has given me",
and Sam Altman and some other wealthy people have boasted about their
ADHD, or whatever mental problem their suffering from.
Some people with bad tempers or irritating personalities respond to
criticism with a sarcastic and arrogant remark similar to: " That's the way I am!" They
refuse to consider that they have mental defects, and that they should
make an effort to improve their behavior.
It is idiotic for us to boast
about our mental or physical problems. Mental disorders interfere with life. An example is
that Michael Phelps
had a mental disorder that resulted in him becoming a wealthy and
famous athlete, but he was miserable the entire time.
Homosexuality allows men to become wealthier because they don't have to
provide financial support for a wife or children, and some other mental
disorders can help a person become wealthy or famous, but those mental
disorders are not gifts from God or helping the people to enjoy their
life. Those people are suffering,
and their craving for wealth and fame is likely to be a desperate
attempt to feel better about themselves and enjoy life.
We need a certain amount of material items to fit into our modern
society, but we cannot improve
our lives simply by acquiring hundreds of shoes, a gigantic house, or
more automobiles. Likewise, we need friends because we are social
animals, but we cannot improve
our lives simply by increasing the number of people who know us.
All of us are defective, but the people who are struggling for wealth
and fame, and especially those who are committing crimes for it, are
likely to be suffering from defects that are more serious than the
typical people. They reacted to their misery by assuming that they can
find happiness through wealth and fame, but they are mistaken. They are
wasting their life, and they degrade other people's lives when they get
involved with crimes and abusive behavior.
The hoarders also show signs that they are suffering from mental and
physical disorders that are more serious than the typical people. Some
of them are lonely and react by collecting dolls or pet animals that
they use as substitutes for friends. Some react to their misery by
titillating themselves by shopping, or by imagining that they will
create a collection of items that will impress other people. Some
hoarders are also suffering from physical disorders that results in
them wanting to lounge rather than clean up after themselves, which
results in their house filling up with trash.
All of us occasionally become frustrated, angry, and unhappy, and we
often react by trying to make ourselves feel better by insulting other
people, eating, shopping, having sex, or fantasizing about being
famous, or a hero, or talking with Jesus. However, some of us are
better able to keep our idiotic reactions to an insignificant level so
that we don't get into debt, become obese, or ruin our relationships.
Every culture considers a person to be "successful" when he acquires an
above-average amount of material wealth or fame, but we should consider
a person to be successful only
if he enjoys his life. And we should admire only the people who contribute
something of value to society, and treat us with respect.
Has Jay Leno
been successful with that
definition?
Or has his dyslexia or other mental disorders been causing him to
suffer, which in turn has resulted in him spending his life seeking
extreme wealth and fame?
Should we admire Jay Leno? Did
he become famous and wealthy because of his contributions to society?
Or did he get involved with the crime network that dominates the
entertainment businesses?
Is Leno enjoying his gigantic mansion
in Beverly Hills and large automobile collection, and his other
gigantic mansion
in Newport? Or is he suffering
from a
mental disorder, and trying to make himself feel
better with mansions, cars, and other material items,
just like the hoarders who try to make themselves feel better by
shopping, or like the obese people who try to make themselves feel
better by eating?
We are so arrogant that we believe we understand ourselves extremely
well, and we boast about our characteristics, including characteristics
that detrimental.
Those of us who do not have a
noticeable problem with ADHD, OCD, dyslexia, bipolar problems,
asperger's, or schizophrenia, cannot understand
what the
people who have those problems are feeling. Likewise, they cannot
understand what we feel.
If all of us could experience life as
other people experience it, I suspect that everybody would come to the
conclusion
that the people who are having the most pleasant lives do not
necessarily have
a lot of material wealth or fame.
I suspect that everybody would agree that mental
problems are not
"gifts". Rather, they make life miserable.
I think everybody would
agree that it is much better
to have an average amount of material items and excellent mental
health, than to be wealthy and have mental problems.
I also suspect that we would discover that the people who cheat are having the most miserable
lives because they are tormenting themselves by living in fear that
people will learn the truth about them. The people who are honest are
having the most relaxed and pleasant lives.
Everybody realizes that the messy hoarders
are suffering from a mental
disorder, but we have such a strong attraction to material
wealth that we tend to admire or envy the wealthy people who arrange
their horde in a neat manner.
Our craving for material items causes us to assume that the wealthy
people are better people than the rest of us, and getting more
enjoyment from life,
but if that were true, we would have noticed that the wealthy people
have more
stable and pleasant friendships and marriages; fewer problems with
alcohol, gambling, drugs, loneliness, and pedophilia; and have no
desire to get involved with crimes or crime networks.
Statistics about divorce show that the wealthy people have as much
of a problem with marriages as ordinary people, and that divorce rates
increase when people become wealthier. This
divorce lawyer believes that wealthy couples have high divorce rates
because " money translates to
more stress in a
committed relationship." This
divorce lawyer believes that it is because " being wealthy can create freedom."
There are no analyses of the hoarders to determine whether they have
more problems with marriage and friendships than the majority of
people, but the television programs about hoarders make it appear as if
most of
them are
lonely, and are frequently fighting with their family members and
spouse.
A more likely explanation for why so many hoarders and wealthy people
have
trouble forming pleasant and stable relationships is because they have
a stronger attraction to material
items than they do to
people. Many of them could be described as " anti-social".
The wealthy people appear
to have a wonderful time at their dinners, parties, and
recreational activities, but do they truly enjoy their friends and
spouse? Do they socialize
when they get together? Or do they get together only to show off,
intimidate other people, and feel important? Or do they look for
opportunities to exploit
or blackmail
one
another?
The secrecy that we provide
everybody makes it impossible for us to know exactly how the wealthy
people treat one another, but we can see that a lot of them have
problems with their marriages and friendships, and are involved with
crimes or pedophilia.
During the Middle Ages, many of the kings and queens and other wealthy
people would choose a spouse and friends according to the financial and
political benefits of the relationship, and there are still people
today who are behaving in that manner. If everybody in the world
behaved like them, none of us would have pleasant friendships or
marriages. Instead, we would all be looking for ways to
exploit one
another.
We should not
envy or admire people who regard material items as more
important than friendships. We
should not
let them into influential positions, either, because they promote the
gathering of material items rather than teamwork and
friendships. Their lives are spent selfishly satisfying their abnormal
cravings for wealth and status, and they have little or no interest in
improving our cities, or treating us as friends.
We must eliminate secrecy, pass judgment on other people's
personalities, and restrict the
government officials to
the people who truly enjoy human relationships, rather than people who
have abnormally intense cravings for status, pampering by servants, and
material items.
Our social affairs should be designed to be pleasant and relaxing. We
should enjoy the people at the
affairs, not try to
exploit or intimidate them.
Surveillance data would
help us understand “happiness”
Most people would probably
claim that they enjoy their life, but how would any of us know if we
are truly enjoying life when we have never experienced any other type
of life?
This issue is most noticeable with children who grow up in miserable
conditions. They don't realize that they are miserable until they
discover how other children are living.
Some alcoholics might believe that they are enjoying their life, but if
they could experience life as some of us experience it, they would come
to the conclusion that they are actually suffering, and that their
craving for alcohol is the result of a serious problem.
Likewise, the billionaires undoubtedly believe that they are enjoying
their wealth, but if they could experience life as other person, they
would also come to the conclusion that their craving for wealth and
status is because they are searching for happiness, not because they
are enjoying life more than the rest of us.
It is impossible for us to know who is truly enjoying life unless we
can experience life over and over, each time as a different person, and
in a different era.
If we could experience life as other people experience it, we would
discover that many of our prehistoric ancestors actually had a more
pleasant life than most people today. We would also discover that after
people start restricting reproduction and experimenting with their
culture, the people thousands of years in the future will be as well
adapted to their modern world as our prehistoric ancestors were adapted
to theirs, and that they will have a wonderful life as a result.
Experiencing life in the distant past and the distant future might
bring us to the conclusion during the past few thousand years, and for
the next few thousand years, people are in a transition period, and
that all of us are suffering to a certain extent because our body and
mind has not yet adapted to the changes we have made to our environment.
Although we cannot experience life as different people, we can collect
data about everybody's life, and that will help us make decisions about
who is enjoying life, and what brings us happiness. We would be able to
observe the billionaires, for example, and determine whether they are
truly enjoying their wealth, or showing symptoms of mental disorders.
We would be able to observe the people who gamble, have lots of pet
animals, or have body piercings, and pass judgment on whether they are
enjoying their lives, or suffering from something.
Children must be
educated about hoarders
Every culture assumes that
hoarders are a tiny group of misfits, so hoarders are regarded as
unimportant, but this Constitution requires the
schools to teach children about hoarding because it is a very important
issue that everybody should understand.
The hoarders are not
a different species that we can ignore. There is only a subtle
difference between hoarders and the "normal" people. All of us
have strong cravings for material wealth, land, and food. These
cravings were necessary for prehistoric people, but they cause
significant problems for us today, such as:
|
•
|
People take jobs
according to its financial benefits. |
|
•
|
Nations fight with
each other over land boundaries and the fish in the oceans.
|
|
•
|
Husbands and wives
argue about money and material items.
|
|
• |
People go into debt
as a result of purchasing more items than they can afford.
|
|
• |
People commit crimes
in order to increase their material wealth.
|
|
• |
People have so many
items that they have to put some of them into attics, basements,
closets, storage lockers, and their yards.
|
|
• |
Businesses fight
with each other over customers.
|
|
• |
People whine about
their low income, even if they are extremely wealthy.
|
|
•
|
People, especially
men, gather
material items to show off and impress women, rather than because they
need them.
|
Every culture considers the hoarders to be
tormenting themselves by
collecting excessive amounts of items, but no culture considers that
the wealthy
people are also tormenting themselves by gathering
excessive amounts of jewelry, clothing, houses, land, automobiles, and
other items.
Likewise, no culture considers the " ordinary"
people to be tormenting themselves as a result of their struggles for
material wealth and land. Every culture considers that the "finer
things in life" to
be large homes, expensive automobiles, and lots of material items.
However, it would be more accurate to describe most people as
tormenting themselves and their families by not controlling their
craving for material items because most people are wasting money on
items that they don't need, and cluttering their house, closets,
garage, and attic.
The same concept applies to people with OCD. There is no dividing line
between the people with OCD and the rest of us. All of us have some OCD
because it was a beneficial characteristic in prehistoric times.
For example, a prehistoric woman who was obsessed with keeping herself,
her children, and her home clean, would have reduced the chances that
she and her children were bitten by insects, poked by thorns, or
infected with bacteria.
That disorder is
troublesome today because there are so many worthless, idiotic,
dangerous, or detrimental activities that we can become obsessed
about. For example, a woman with an obsession for cleaning can
torment
herself and her family, and waste a lot of money, because our homes
today are very large, we have lots of clothing, and we have lots of
items in our homes. Our homes also have sinks, showers, laundry
machines, and dishwashers that allow us to waste a lot of time and
money on cleaning
ourselves and our items.
Likewise, a prehistoric woman who was obsessed with checking on the
health and safety of her children would have been a very protective
mother. Modern children are no longer in danger, so a mother with that
obsession would waste her time. She might also be so protective that
her children do not learn how to do chores,
take care of themselves, or deal with criticism.
A prehistoric man might have become obsessed with hunting pigs, or
making fur coats, flint
knives, and arrowheads, but those
obsessions would have been beneficial to him and his family. Today a
man can become obsessed with lots of worthless, idiotic, dangerous, or
detrimental activities,
such as setting a world record,
becoming a billionaire, or ensuring that light switches have been
turned off.
We need better culture, not more items
There is no dividing line
between the hoarders and
the rest of us. All of us have cravings for material items and land.
The difference between a hoarder and the rest of us
is that most of us can control our cravings well enough to prevent our
house from becoming cluttered.
Every culture is promoting the theory that we will improve our lives by
gathering more material items, but none of us needs more material
items. Rather, we need better
culture.
We are not suffering from "poverty". Rather, we are suffering because
we are animals. For example,
we suffer because:
•
|
We have a craving
to fight for food, leadership, material items, a
spouse, and
land. |
•
|
We prefer to ignore
issues that we
dislike, and believe unrealistic fantasies that are more pleasant. |
•
|
We have a desire to
trust and be submissive to whoever gets into an influential position. |
We don't need more
material items. Instead, we will improve our lives significantly
by understanding our emotional desires and fears, making more
intelligent decisions about what to do, and experimenting with
improvements to our leadership,
school curriculum, courtship activities, economic system, cities,
recreational activities, television programs, and other culture.
We
need better policies
for crime, abortion, euthanasia, nudity, marriage,
work, and
raising children. We need a better understanding of human and animal
behavior, and what truly makes us happy. We especially need to develop restrictions on reproduction so that
the human mind evolves to fit our new era, and to reduce the number of
people with mental and physical disorders.
Hoarders can help us
understand ourselves
Our natural tendency is to
ignore, ridicule, torment, or pity the
hoarders, alcoholics, criminals, heroin addicts, and other people who
behave in a manner that we disapprove of, but we should study them because they have the
same genetic
characteristics as the rest of us, but by having unusual behavior, we
can more easily notice some of those genetic characteristics.
Some people became hoarders after they suffered from brain damage, such
as strokes or concussions, but brain damage did not cause those people
to become a hoarder. Rather, the hoarding tendency was already in their
brain, and the brain damage merely allowed it to have a greater
influence over their behavior.
Brain damage cannot give us a characteristic that our genetic
characteristics did not provide for. For example, no amount of brain
damage will cause a human to behave like a dog or a cat. Likewise,
brain damage to a dog cannot cause it to behave like a squirrel or a
human.
Brain damage can only result in some portion of the brain being
incapacitated, thereby allowing other portions to have a greater
influence over our behavior. Therefore, people with brain damage can
help us understand our own characteristics.
A few people have become better at math after suffering from brain
damage, but the brain damage did not improve their math abilities.
Rather, it merely gave them greater access to the math abilities that
was already in their DNA.
By studying the hoarders, we can get a better understanding of all of us because
we all have strong cravings to gather items, have friends, and be
admired. We want large
houses and lots of furniture,
art,
kitchen items, tools, and clothing. We also want a lot of
cars, boats, jet skis, snow skis,
snowmobiles, bicycles, televisions, computers, and/or musical
instruments.
When the majority of people behave in a certain manner, we are not
likely to notice it, and if we do notice it, we consider it to be
normal and acceptable.
However, when we encounter somebody who has unusual behavior, we will
notice that his behavior is bizarre. If we laugh at, ridicule, or
ignore the unusual person, we learn nothing about him or ourselves.
However, if
we realize that the person has been designed according to the same
genetic blueprint as the rest of us, then we will realize that whatever
is causing him to be bizarre is a characteristic that all of us have.
Therefore, by studying his bizarre
characteristic, we can get a better understanding of ourselves.
For example, some of the women in the television shows about hoarders
would purchase items but not bother to open up the package. That is
evidence that they are get
enjoyment from acquiring the
item, not from using the item.
This bizarre behavior make sense when you realize that many female
animals expect gifts of food
from the male animals. Therefore, when
women are unhappy, one of the ways they can make themselves feel better
is to give themselves gifts.

Women want to
be pampered Queens,
and men want to be their servants.
|
The women don't necessarily need the item
that they are giving to themselves. Rather, they want to be given a gift. They
want to feel as if they are a pampered
queen.
With modern technology, such as online shopping and retail stores, a
woman can titillate herself by having UPS
deliver gifts to her, and by having retail stores clerks provide her
with
gifts.
Those television programs also show that many of the husbands allow their wives to waste money on
shopping because they want to please their wives rather than provide
them with guidance.
When we realize that hoarders have the same mental characteristics that
all of us have, then we will realize that whatever is causing them to
become hoarders is a characteristic that is inside of our minds,
also.
They are not a different
species with different mental characteristics. The hoarders are just an
extreme
version of "normal" people.
When we realize that there is only a subtle difference between the
hoarders and the rest of us, then it is easier for us to notice that
all of the criticism we have for hoarders applies to almost all of us,
but to a lesser extreme. For example:
•
|
|
Some of the hoarders cause
themselves significant
financial problems by purchasing more items than they can afford, but a
significant percentage of the "normal" people also torment themselves
with debt and financial problems because they also purchase more items
than they can afford. |
|
|
|
•
|
|
Some of the men who are married to
a hoarder are tormenting themselves
and their children by being submissive to their wives rather than
providing leadership, but there are lots of "normal" men who are also
tormenting themselves and their children by being submissive to their
"normal", non-hoarding wives. |
|
|
|
•
|
|
Some of the hoarders
have so much stuff that they have to
move out of their house, such as this
couple who moved into a camper in their driveway. However, a
significant percentage of the "normal" people have so much stuff packed
into their closets, attic, basement, or garage that they cannot use
those areas for what they were designed for. For example, some people
cannot get their automobile or bicycles in their garage, and they
cannot use some of their closets for clothing, because they are using
their garage or closet to store unnecessary items. |
•
|
|
Some hoarders purchase so much food
that a lot
of it spoils, but that is also happening to a large percentage
of the "normal" people. |
|
|
|
•
|
|
Some hoarders purchase so much
clothing, jewelry, or shoes that they cannot wear
them all, but there are lots of "normal" people,
especially women, who purchase more clothing, jewelry, or shoes than
they use.
|
The hoarders are tormenting themselves because of their inability to
control their craving for material items, but the majority of people
are also tormenting themselves, although to a lesser extent, as a
result of
being unable to control their craving for material items.
Our desire to titillate ourself is causing a lot of problems. Modern
humans must understand that we have animal
cravings that were intended for a prehistoric environment, and that we
need to make sensible decisions about when to titillate ourselves and
when to suppress our desires. For example, what is the difference
between:
1) |
A woman who titillates herself by
giving herself gifts that she doesn't need.
|
2)
|
A man who titillates himself with
sexual pornography.
|
3)
|
A man who titillates
himself by boasting about himself, insulting other people, or
purchasing items for status.
|
The only difference between those three people is that they are
titillating themselves with different types of pornography.
However, only the men who titillate themselves with sexual pornography
are criticized in the cultures as of 2025.
A woman who gives herself gifts that she doesn't need should
be described as masturbating.
The gifts that she gives to herself should be described as " gift pornography".
A woman who titillates herself with gifts is not improving
her life. She is wasting her money, wasting her life, causing herself
financial troubles, and cluttering
her house with unnecessary items.
Likewise, a man who titillates himself with sexual pornography, or by
insulting other people, or by showing off his goldplated cell phone, is
not
improving
his life. He is wasting his life. Excessive masturbation can
also interfere with his relationships.
Children must be educated about these issues to help them avoid the
mistake of assuming that they will improve their life simply by
titillating themselves with some type of pornography.
Of course, some people are unable to understand these concepts or
control themselves. Those people need to be regarded as inferior
people, and they must be prohibited from reproducing. This modern era
requires people who can make much better decisions about what to do
with their life and how to treat other people.
Life would be better if we
could share the wealth
All of us would have a
significantly more pleasant life if we could
control our craving for material items to such an extent that we share the material wealth. This
requires us to regard other people as family members, rather than as
potential enemies.
One of the most significant advantages to sharing the wealth is that we
can provide ourselves with much
better cities. The reason is because
if we can regard ourselves as members of a gigantic family that shares
the wealth, then the city becomes
a gigantic mansion for our family members.
By regarding the city is a giant home
for all of us, none of us have to build, maintain, purchase, rent, or
sell our own homes. The family builds
and maintains the
homes, swimming pools, offices, retail stores, factories, parks,
gardens, farms, and bicycle paths.
We do not have to mow our own lawns, maintain our own home, or clean
our
own swimming pools. Likewise, the businesses do not have to
build, maintain, or purchase the structures they need, or deal with
landscaping
around the structure.
By regarding the city is a big family, the economy can become much more
efficient because we don't have to provide businesses or individual
citizens with construction materials, tools, landscaping equipment, and
other supplies. This eliminates all of the people and businesses
involved with packaging and selling small items for consumers and
businesses. The individual citizens would also be free of dealing with
government regulations in regards to home improvements.
The free enterprise systems provide citizens and businesses with
construction materials and tools, and that creates a tremendous waste
of resources because the supplies are provided in certain quantities,
and the leftover materials are usually discarded in the trash, even
though some other citizen or business could use them.
It is much more efficient for a group of people to work together to
design, build, and maintain a city. It also
allows the city to be designed so that all of the neighborhoods are
visually compatible with one another, and all of the doors, windows,
plumbing fixtures, and other items are following the same standards.
Likewise, it is more efficient for a city to do all of the
landscaping, rather than have every business and citizen be responsible
for a tiny
plot of land. The city will not need to produce thousands of tiny,
noisy, low quality lawnmowers, gardening tools, gopher traps, or other
equipment. Instead,
the city will have higher quality, quieter, and more efficient
landscaping
tools, such as robotic
lawnmowers and robotic rat catchers.
Furthermore, a city can afford landscaping equipment that is advanced
enough to operate in
the middle of the
night while most people are sleeping.
The lives of the citizens in such a city will be more pleasant because
nobody will
have to deal with the maintenance of their homes or yards. Nobody will
have to live in a home that is being renovated, either, because
everybody will be free to move to some other home when their home needs
renovation.
During the past few years, some of the city governments in Italy have
been offering
houses for one euro. However, the owners have to spend a lot of
their time and money fixing the houses and dealing with government
regulations and taxes.
It would be less expensive and faster for the Italian government
to fix all of the houses, and then sell them at a higher price. It
would also reduce the amount of wasted construction materials and
tools. However, that requires a different attitude towards life. It
requires that we stop promoting the prehistoric attitude that each
person is responsible for his home, and start regarding ourselves as
members of a family or a team who work together and share the wealth.
We must be
willing to give up the freedom to have our own home and own a plot of
land.
However, we cannot create that type of city when our leaders are
neurotic, selfish, anti-social pedophiles who want to be pampered Kings
and Queens. We need leaders who consider human relationships to be more
important than material wealth and status. We need leaders who treat us
as friends rather than as servants. We need leaders who live with us
and work with us, rather than
censor, intimidate, exploit, deceive, and arrest us.
Even more important, we cannot expect a group of people to want to
share items when they speak different languages, follow different
clothing styles, holiday celebrations, and meals, fear one another, and
accuse one another of white supremacy, anti-Semitism, Holocaust denial,
and white privilege.
If we restrict a city to people who are compatible, honest, friendly,
and responsible, and who can share all of the bicycles, electric
vehicles, drones, kayaks,
children's toys, baby carriages, 3D printers, and
other items, then we would need garages or storage areas for
material items. We could reduce the size of our homes, and eliminate
the chores involved with
storing, cleaning, and maintaining those items.

Eventually
robots will be able to deliver and remove tools and batteries.
|
None of the carpenters, technicians, or mechanics would have to
purchase or maintain their own tools, or store their tools in their
home. They would borrow whatever tools they needed, and return the
unneeded tools to the city.
Even more important, instead of producing a lot of low quality tools for each person to
own, we would produce a
smaller amount
of high quality tools
that we share.
We could also apply this concept to expensive clothing. For example,
instead of allowing women to purchase expensive clothing for weddings,
anniversaries, and other social events, they
would borrow the clothing and give it back to the city when they are
finished, and then another woman would be able to use it.

We
have a lot more clothing options when we share the clothing.
|
By sharing clothing, we would be able to create durable and intricate
clothing
with materials and techniques that would be too expensive to be
practical in a free enterprise system.
This would allow women to wear hundreds
of different, beautiful outfits during their life that have expensive
gemstones, sequins, lace, velvet, embroidery, iridescent fibers, and
even tiny LED lights.
They would have access to clothing items that are more durable,
beautiful, and decorative than the free enterprise system is producing,
and they would not have to be bothered with cleaning the items, or
storing them in their home, or sell them.
It would also allow men to
have high quality clothing for social affairs without having to be
bothered with storing or cleaning them.
As suggested in
a previous
document, we should also experiment with letting the women design and
choose the
clothing that the men wear for social affairs so that we stop the men
from
dressing like penguins or slobs. This allows the women to do such
things as arranging for a dinner at a
green restaurant and providing the men with a
green outfit. The men or women would return the outfits to the city on
some other day.
For another example of the
benefits of sharing items, instead of manufacturing a large number of
low quality
electric scooters for each family to purchase for their children, we
would produce a smaller quantity
of high quality scooters
that are more reliable, quieter, easier to
maintain, and more comfortable. Instead of storing the scooters in our
homes, the scooters would be available for free in stores scattered
around the city.
Parents would not have to provide their children with scooters. When
children want to ride a scooter, they would go to one of the scooter
stores, take one of the scooters, and ride it around. When the
children are
finished with the scooters, they leave them at any of the locations for
dropping off material items. By being intolerant of crime, the
children would be able to do this without
adult supervision.
The city would be
responsible for charging the batteries and maintaining the scooters and
other
electric vehicles. The vehicles would be
higher in quality than they would be for consumers in a free
enterprise system, and they could be equipped with advanced equipment,
such as cell phones with GPS so that the city's computers could track
the location of all of the vehicles. That would allow the children to
drive the vehicles into the
surrounding forest without their parents worrying about them getting
lost.
Instead of displaying a map
for the children, the vehicles could speak
to the children to tell them how to get to a particular pond or picnic
area, and how to get home.
By putting tracking devices in cell phones and electric vehicles, and
by tracking people with surveillance cameras, it would safe for
children to wander around by themselves during the winter.

When somebody wanted to use
a 3D printer, telescope,
microscope, or CNC laser cutter, he would go to one of the social
clubs, and he would have access to much higher quality equipment than
would be possible for consumers in a free enterprise system.
We would also improve our lives significantly
if we can share food to such an extent that we can provide everybody
with free meals at restaurants, and avoid putting kitchens and dining
rooms in the homes. That
has tremendous advantages,
which is why schools, cruise ships, and businesses provide meals to
their members.
Another advantage to getting all of our meals from restaurants is that
most people don't have to learn anything about storing and preparing
foods. Everybody assumes that they are an expert on food, but we are
all ignorant about it, and we have conflicting information about it.
Some of the conflicts are mentioned in this document. For some
additional examples:
•
|
|
There are disagreements on the best
ways to store fruits, oils, and other foods in order to maintain
optimum flavor and nutrition; allow the fruit to ripen properly; and
reduce problems with bacteria and mold.
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
There are disagreements on whether
bananas or tomatoes should be stored in a refrigerator or other cool
location, and whether butter, olive oil, nuts, pies, oregano, cinnamon,
and breads should be kept in a refrigerator or freezer.
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
There are disagreements on whether
it is healthy to fry foods in oil, and what the maximum temperature of
each oil should be when frying.
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
Everybody is also ignorant about the
fruits that produce ethylene gas or other chemicals, and how that
affects the manner in which we store fruits.
|

There are some people who believe
that they can sprout walnuts by removing the shell, which breaks the
walnut seed into pieces, and then putting the pieces into water, but do
the pieces truly sprout? Or does the walnut seed die when it is broken
into pieces? Should walnuts be sprouted by putting cracks or holes in
the shell so that water can get in and out, thereby allowing the seed
remain alive and be rinsed to remove tannic acid and other chemicals?

Some people have
posted complaints on the Internet about the large percentage of dried
figs that have a bad taste, but very few people seem to understand why.
As I pointed out here,
we ought to consider growing figs in sealed greenhouses. I
created this video to
explain it. |
When we are capable of sharing items to such an extent that we can get
our meals from restaurants, then the Meals Ministry can arrange for
food scientists to investigate these issues and set policies for the
restaurants, farms, and food processing businesses, and the majority of
people don't need to know
the scientific details about storing and preparing foods.
By sharing material wealth, the
shopping malls will be full of restaurants, lounge rooms, social
clubs, and stores, and we will have free access
to all of them. Since everything is free, nobody would be pressured to
purchase anything, and there would be no advertisements to convince us
to desire something, so it would be very relaxing to wander
around the retail stores to see what is available, and try the
different items. We would be able to eat any of the restaurants, relax
at any of the
lounge rooms, and visit any of the social clubs.
Instead of wasting our time trying to decide which material item to
purchase, we would be able to experiment with all of the
bicycles, cell phones, furniture, and other material items.
Since advertisements are prohibited, none of the Internet sites would
have any type of pop-up advertisements, and nobody would be able to
make money from Internet videos, or by being a social media influencer,
so the Internet would have significantly fewer idiotic and worthless
videos and messages. The ministers could also prohibit such options as
subscribing to somebody's videos so that we don't have to deal with
people telling us over and over to "Subscribe and Hit The Bell Icon".
By being intolerant of crime, the shopping malls would not need
security guards, and none of the windows would need security grates.
Walking around the shopping malls would feel as if we are walking
around
a giant mansion that we share with our friends, and all of the stores
and facilities would feel as if
they are rooms within the mansion.
We would be able to
pick up cameras, clothing items, or furniture from the shopping malls
whenever we pleased, and without money or credit cards, and we
would return the items when we were finished with them, or
when they needed
maintenance.
By setting high standards for the people, young children would be able
to wander around
the stores to pick up and return items without any fear, including at
night.

Although the restaurants
and some other facilities would
be open only for certain hours, some facilities would be open all
night. For example, the stores that provide medical items could be open
all day and night. Since the items are free, none of the employees
would have to work during the night. Anybody who needed a medical item
would be able to walk in and take whatever he needed.
Since everybody would have to meet higher standards, only the truly
dangerous medical devices and drugs would have restrictions. The other
medicines, such as insulin and thyroid hormones, would be freely
available to adults without prescriptions.
By allowing the computers to use facial recognition, computers could
prevent children from having access to the medicines and other
dangerous
items.
The pharmacies, and other
retail stores, would provide adults with items without human
employees, and at any time of day or night, while protecting children
from them. The computer would also prohibit adults who have been put on
restrictions from having access to certain items.
The stores that offer recreational equipment would also be open all day
and night to allow everybody, including
children, to get and return
items late in the evening, early in the morning, and during the night.
For example, teenagers who want to go to snorkeling could go to a
shopping mall early in the morning to pick up the items
that they need. They would not have to
wait for stores to open, or wait for employees to be in the store.
The retail stores would
feel as if they are rooms in our home,
and that they contain material items that belong to us. The restaurants would
feel as if they are our dining rooms,
and the lounge
rooms and social clubs would also feel as if they are are rooms in
our home. The city would feel as if it is our home, rather than the
possessions of businesses or kings and queens.
All of the recreational facilities would also be free. By setting high
standards for people, the children would be able to
walk or ride bicycles to their recreational facilities, including the
facilities in other neighborhoods, without any fear, even at night.
Although every
neighborhood would be similar in its size and layout, they would all
have
different architecture and vegetation, so it would be enjoyable to
visit the different neighborhoods.
Every neighborhood would be
slightly different in appearance, and everything in the city would be
free, so we would have less of a desire to travel to other cities and
more of an interest in visiting the neighborhoods in our own city.
As mentioned in many
documents, this type of culture requires the city to set high standards
for people. Everybody must be willing
and able to be responsible
with community property.
All of us are hoarders to
some extent
There is no dividing line
between the hoarders and the
rest of us. We all have a craving to gather material items and land,
and all of us probably have some items that we don't need or use. Some
of us also have some portions of land that we never use, and some
people have rooms in their homes that they never use. It is also likely
that all of us have some trash sitting in our automobiles, garages, or
homes.
We could describe all humans as
"hoarders". The majority of people are "typical hoarders", a minority
are "extreme hoarders", and another minority are "mild
hoarders".
The reason we want to gather material items and land is
because we are
animals. Animals do not
share things. Instead, they fight for
land, water, food, and sleeping areas. The males also fight for females.
This
brief video shows a man opening the hatchback of his car to provide
some monkeys with bananas, and notice how
similar their behavior is to that of the people when the retail stores open
their
doors for Black Friday. It is also similar to how children react when
their parents put food on the table.
Our technology allows us to produce more material items and food than
we can possibly use, so it is senseless for us to fight one another for
land, food, and material items.
Therefore, if we can control our cravings and fears, we will be able to
significantly improve our lives by creating a completely new social
environment in which we share everything with one another, and treat
other people as friends and team members rather than as enemies.
We cannot cure the hoarders
Animals have a strong
craving to control an area of land, mark their
territory with pee, and chase other animals away from it. Humans
inherited that characteristic, but we use fences or logos to mark our
territory. This results in us creating cities that provide us with
independent homes on nearly rectangular plots of land, and separated by
fences.

Our craving to have our own plot of land results in cities that are
spread out over a very large area, which is makes it difficult and
time-consuming for us to travel around the city. Although the author of
this
news article describes the aerial views
of the cities as breathtaking,
many of us consider our cities to be ugly.
We cannot stop our craving to have possession of items and land because
it is designed into our brain, but if we can suppress our craving to
the point at which we can share land and material items, we will have a
lot more
options for how we design cities.
The people who don't have enough self-control to share items and land
will be miserable misfits
in such a culture, and the people who have such an extreme craving for
material items that they become hoarders, billionaires, or criminals
will have an even more
difficult time enjoying life when they must become ordinary
people who share the material wealth and land.
Therefore, the only way for us to create a society in which people
enjoy sharing the wealth is to restrict reproduction to the people who
are better able to do it. This requires passing judgment on who has
trouble sharing wealth. This will require telling some of the wealthy
people that they don't qualify for reproducing.
We assume that the wealthier people are better than the poor people,
and having a better life, but some of them seem to be more neurotic and
unhappy than the ordinary people.
According to this
survey in 2024, 43% of the Americans who have an income over
$100K per year
have credit card debt. Of those people, 62% of them have had the debt
for more than a year. Their debt is not
the result of poverty, racism, Holocaust denial, or bad luck.
Rather, they have debt because they do not have enough self-control to
make sensible decisions about how to spend their
money. They are analogous to obese
people who cannot control their food consumption.
Those of us who don't have intense cravings for material items cannot
understand how wealthy people can be in debt, or why wealthy people
would want to commit crimes to
become wealthier. There is some subtle difference between the
way our brains think.
Likewise, those of us who can control our consumption of alcohol cannot
understand why some people become alcoholics. Those of us who are not
interested in raping children cannot
understand why some people are doing that.
There have been numerous attempts to help people who have problems with
hoarding, alcohol, crime, obesity, and OCD, but nobody has found a way
to cure any of those problems. A small percentage of the people with
those problems
eventually learn how to control themselves, but they continue to suffer
from
the mental disorder because it is coming from their genetic design,
not from ignorance.
We do not have the
technology to change the circuitry in a person's brain. We cannot cure
a person who has a problem with hoarding, alcohol,
gambling, heroin, or food. A person must have the desire to change his behavior, and
he must also have the ability
to control his emotions to such an extent that he can make
better decisions.
However, even if a person can control his problem, he is still the same
person with the same problem. For example, some alcoholics have been
able
to stop drinking, but they cannot cure
themselves of
whatever mental or physical
disorder caused them to become alcoholics. Many of them realize that
they still have the problem, and that causes them to be fearful of
becoming an alcoholic again, so they avoid drinking alcohol.
If an alcoholic could be truly cured of his problem, he would have no
fear of alcohol. He would be able drink alcohol whenever he
wanted without fear of becoming an alcoholic, just like those of us who
don't have any
problem with alcohol.
Likewise, we cannot cure the billionaires of whatever problem they are
suffering from. In order for the billionaires to enjoy living in a
world in which we share the wealth, they must have the desire and
ability to
control their cravings. If they cannot control their cravings for
status, pampering by servants, and material wealth, they will be
unhappy misfits in a culture that treats them as ordinary people.
The billionaires who have such intense cravings for wealth and status
that they are committing murders
and other serious crimes will
have an even more difficult time living in a world in which they are
ordinary people and must obey the laws. They are
analogous to a drug addict who is willing to murder people in order
to
get more drugs.
The wealthy people who are willing to commit serious crimes to
get more material items have a brain with a significant
disorder. Perhaps they are
extremely anti-social, or perhaps they have abnormally intense cravings
for
wealth or status, or perhaps they are suffering from a mental disorder
that we don't yet have a word for.
Whatever their problem is, if they
cannot control themselves, there is nothing we can do to control them.
We should not tolerate their
excuses, such as blaming their bad behavior on being bullied in school,
or because their mother died when they were young.

We cannot cure anybody of
their mental problems. The only useful thing
we can do is require the schools to educate
children about human behavior, and provide them
with practice
in dealing with problems, failures, and criticism. The children who
become adults who cannot control themselves must be regarded
as inferior people. Those that
are destructive need to be evicted or euthanized, and those that can
control themselves should be prohibited from reproducing.
The military is aware of this concept. They put potential members
through a training course, and they observe how the recruits react.
Those who cannot improve
themselves are rejected. The
military does not
give them pity, or tolerate their excuses, pouting, temper tantrums, or
other bad behavior.
We must apply this policy
to children, also, but our emotions want
us to pamper children, not put them through difficult mental and
physical training programs, and get rid of the defective children. We
become upset when children cry or pout, and we want to help them deal
with their problems.
The photo below shows an obstacle
course that is designed for the entertainment of children. It is
acceptable to provide children with entertaining recreational
activities, but we must do more than entertain the children.
The Schools Ministry is
required to treat the children in a manner that
is similar to military recruits. Specifically, they must put
children through a variety of physical and mental obstacle courses to help them
develop and identify their talents, desires, limitations, and
disorders, and to help them become accustomed to criticism, problems,
failures, leadership, and thinking.
Those training programs will also help the school officials determine
which of the children needs medical help, shows potential for
leadership, or should be prohibited from reproducing.
Life is a deadly obstacle course
The people who oppose genetics and evolution want to believe that life
can be wonderful for everybody, but in reality, life is more accurately
described as a deadly obstacle
course, in which
everybody suffers to some extent, and only a few are successful at enjoying their life.
A sperm and egg have tremendous challenges to create a
healthy baby. Some of the fertilized eggs die before they are born, and
the others create babies with various defects in their bodies and
minds.
After birth, every person has endless problems to deal with. However,
some of us do a better job of learning from our mistakes, and learning
from the mistakes of other people. Some of us also have better control
of our emotions, and some of us make more intelligent decisions.
The prehistoric children who were not well adapted to the challenges of
life tended to die young, just like the young, wild animals. That
resulted in adults who enjoyed life.

Life is a
deadly obstacle course,
and most people fail to enjoy it.
|
Today, however, most people are such misfits for our modern environment
that they have trouble dealing with life's problems.
Most people torment themselves, their friends, and their family members
because of their inability to make sensible decisions about money,
debt, marital conflicts, food, and alcohol.
They waste a
significant portion of their life whining, cheating, crying, fighting,
pouting, hating, and fantasizing that they will "soon" find happiness
with money,
fame, drugs, sex, a spouse, or heaven.
Whether we enjoy our life depends upon our
decisions, not other people or mysterious concepts,
such as poverty or racism. Although our parents have a
tremendous effect on our childhood, once we become an adult, we can do
whatever we please, and our life becomes our
responsibility.
For example, a woman who has a miscarriage has to make a decision about
how to deal with it. She can choose to deal with it in a sensible
manner, or she can choose to waste her life and irritate other people
by repeatedly reminding herself of the miscarriage in order to
stimulate sadness.
Children today need to be taught that it is difficult to
create life, and we must expect
every generation to have a lot of miscarriages, infant deaths, and
genetic
defects that are so serious that the baby should be euthanized.
They also need to be taught that when we use our technology to allow a
defective child to survive, we allow him to suffer. There are millions
of people in the world suffering from bipolar problems, migraine
headaches, alcoholism, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, and other
serious problems. Some of the defective people have so much trouble
making a living that they join crime networks, or become homeless or
parasitic. Many of them develop low self-esteem, or become angry,
envious, depressed, or suicidal.
Nature deals with the problem of defective creatures by
putting them through a deadly battle for survival, and we must
do something similar with our children. We must stop treating children
as
"bundles of joy" and start treating them as "young humans".
The Schools Ministry is required to put children through "intellectual
obstacle
courses" to determine their mental characteristics, and prepare them
for our modern social environment. The children with the best
mental characteristics will improve their behavior and get a better
understanding of themselves when we put them through intellectual
obstacle courses, but the children who react
with violence, pouting, hatred, excuses, or crying must be regarded as
inferior children.
Unlike the existing schools, which allow
students to keep information about their performance a secret, the
Schools Ministry is required to put detailed
data about them in their entries of the People
database.
The data about a child in the People
database will help the child, his parents, and the
government officials make decisions about the type of jobs the child
should consider,
and whether there is any medical technology to improve his health.
The human brain needs to
evolve
Our minds were not designed
to deal with the complex problems of our modern world. Our arrogance,
selfishness, fear of the unknown, craving for status, and sexual
inhibitions are too extreme today. We have trouble cooperating with one
another, sharing material wealth, keeping the planet clean, controlling
our emotions, and forming stable relationships. We want to entertain
ourselves, not deal with difficult problems. We fight, cheat, deceive,
manipulate, and hate one another.
Furthermore, our emotions did not evolve for the large and dense
populations of our modern cities. We evolved to live among a small
group of people who we know intimately. We were not designed to live
among thousands of strangers. Or high population density requires that
we alter the way we
interact with people. For example:
•
|
|
We want to greet people when we
meet them, but we will irritate one
another and ourselves if we greet every person we pass by in the
streets, elevators, and stores. The people who live in densely
populated areas need to ignore most of the people that they pass by. |
|
|
|
•
|
|
We giggle
at farts, but when we are living among thousands of people, all of whom
are farting all throughout the day and evening, it becomes irritating
when people make remarks or jokes every time somebody farts. |
|
|
|
•
|
|
Women enjoy getting compliments
from men, but when they are living
among thousands of strangers, they will be irritated if hundreds of men
make
remarks about how pretty they are. Modern men must be able to control
their attraction to women. We need to restrict courtship to specific
activities and prohibit men from pursuing women in public. |
We cannot improve our world with material items, fusion reactors, or
colonies on the moon. We cannot improve the world with prayer, pity, or
punishments. Our problems are the result of the decisions that
we make, so the only way to improve the world is to improve
the behavior of
people.
We can improve our behavior to a certain extent with education, but not
everybody will respond appropriately. Furthermore, education can only
help us make better decisions. It cannot improve any of our emotional
or
intellectual characteristics.
The only way to bring significant improvements to human behavior is to
improve the genetic
characteristics of the human brain. This requires analyzing everybody's
mental characteristics, passing judgment on who has the characteristics
that
we want for the next generation, and prohibiting
the others from reproducing.
That requires eliminating secrecy; collecting video and other
data about everybody; comparing us to one
another; and
making arbitrary decisions on who among us has the higher quality
characteristics. In order to make those arbitrary decisions, we have to
decide what sort of physical and mental characteristics we want the
future generations to have.
This constitution advocates that humans
should be sociable
creatures. We should enjoy working together, and getting
together with
one another for meals, recreation, and social affairs. The women and
children should be able to trust the men, and depend upon them for
guidance.
The people who want to live
alone or with a dog, or who want to
be a pampered King or Queen, are regarded
as having anti-social characteristics.
Example #4: Healthcare
We will improve our
healthcare if we can develop the technology to collect data about
everybody's physical activities, medical drugs, foods, sleeping habits,
and other issues regarding our health, and if we also collect
information about the environment, such as the humidity, temperature,
and pollen.
We cannot expect a person to be able to analyze himself and determine
what is medical problems are, and we cannot expect doctors to do that,
either. For example, by the time I was about 25 years old, I suspected
that I get cold easier than most people, but if I had mentioned that to
a doctor, most of them would not have considered it to be of
importance. They would most likely have responded that it is because I
was thin, and that I needed to eat more food and develop a thicker
layer of fat.
However, if we had a People
database with details of everybody's life, and if we had software to
analyze and compare us, that software might have noticed that I have a
greater similarity to the people who have problems with thyroid
hormones or energy production than to people who have thin layers of
fat.
For another example, if we could collect data on
everybody's meals, consumption of water, recreational activities, and
environmental conditions, we would get a better understanding of why
some people are developing kidney stones.
An analysis of that data would show us whether kidney stones are
occurring in certain families, and if so, how much of it seems to be
genetic and how much of it is due to their eating habits.
Most people would be embarrassed to have such detailed data about them
collected
and available to the public, but it would help all of us to understand
our health issues. Nobody would suffer from that database, except for
the people who choose to suffer by repeatedly telling themselves that
they are suffering.
Our prehistoric ancestors knew what other people were eating, and when
other people went to the creek to drink water, but they did not suffer
from that lack of secrecy. We will not suffer from a lack of secrecy,
either.
My mother's recent medical problem is an example of how useful
surveillance data can be for healthcare. During the final months of
2022, when my mother
had just turned 90 years old, she was occasionally having problems with
her heart, sometimes losing her appetite, having diarrhea, and
occasionally making remarks about how she wished she would die and end
the misery. She had fainted a couple times, also, because her heart
wasn't beating properly. I assumed that she was dying from old age, or
suffering from the Covid vaccine.
Her heart would occasionally beat in an irregular manner, and sometimes
stop beating for second or so. She went to a heart doctor to find out
what
was wrong. He gave her a device to wear on her chest for a week to
record her heartbeat, but he could not figure out what was wrong with
her. However, he prescribed some medications for her.
My mother goes to a water aerobics class in the morning as a way of
getting
exercise, and there were two times
that I know of when she experienced problems with her heart, and her
friends at the class took her to the hospital.
The doctor at the hospital didn't know what was wrong, but he adjusted
her heart medications.
In January 2023, she asked me to pick up one of her medications,
Donepezil, from the pharmacy. I was curious as to what it was, so when
I got home I searched the Internet to learn about it.
As is typical of all medicines and other products, different
businesses, government agencies, an individual doctors were posting
slightly different information about the drug. This
document at
drugs.com says
that " Donepezil
boosts the effects of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is
noticeably depleted in people with Alzheimer's disease."
However, I don't think my mother has Alzheimer's disease, and from what
I could determine, we do not yet have the technology to measure a
person's level of acetylcholine while he is alive, so there is no way
to determine whether my mother has a " noticeably
depleted" level of it.
My mother was given a prescription for Donepezil because she had been
complaining about her short-term memory, so my sister decided to help
her by arranging for her
to visit a neurologist to find out if there is something he could do to
improve her memory.
Like most people, my sister doesn't want to
acknowledge the evidence that all
90-year-old people have problems with
their short-term memory, and many of them will die within
five years. Instead of accepting the evidence that all of us
deteriorate and die, most people put lot a lot of time and money into
futile, and sometimes painful, attempts to prevent deterioration and
death.
A doctor cannot determine whether a person will benefit from
Donepezil. He can only prescribe it, and then tell the relatives of the
patient to observe the effect. Giving somebody Donepezil is experimenting
with them.
Unfortunately, most people have such a difficult time with reality that
they do not
want a doctor to be honest and tell them something like:
"We do not yet have the technology
to improve your short-term memory, but you can experiment with
Donepezil, which has provided a few Alzheimer's patients with some
slight and temporary benefits. However, this drug has serious side
effects, so you and your family members must carefully observe the
effect the drug has on you, and you must stop using it if it doesn't
help you."

The label
says "Take 1 tablet by mouth
nightly"
|
The side effects are so serious that the instructions advise patients
to take the drug at night
before they go to sleep so that most of the side effects occur while
they are asleep. However, like most people, my sister had no interest
in reading the instructions.
My sister told my mother to take a Donepezil tablet in the morning with
her
other medications. This would explain why my mother felt the most
miserable in the morning.
Many of the complaints that my mother had been making during the
previous months matched the side effects of Donepezil. For example, she
was having problems with her heart, and this
document warns us that " Donepezil
is the only agent — among all AChEIs used to treat dementias" that is
known to cause heart problems.
This
document warns us that " Donepezil
may cause heart rhythm problems that can lead to an irregular heartbeat
and fainting." That is one of the symptoms my mother had, also.
I printed the side effects on a couple sheets of paper, showed them to
my mother, and she was so horrified that she decided to stop taking the
drug. However, when my sister discovered that my mom had stopped taking
it, she had it temper tantrum and demanded that my mother continue
taking the drug because she insisted that the doctor knows what is
best, and we must follow the doctor's advice.
Like most people, especially women and children, my sister has no
desire to do any
research or think. She expects the authorities to take care of
her. She trusts the authorities, and so does my mother.
I have known only one man who would thoroughly read instructions before
using something he had no experience with, and it might not be a
coincidence that he also had some type of bipolar problem, and he was
an alcoholic for decades. He put up a tremendous resistance to doing
something new in his life. He would follow a routine over
and over. I suspect that his fear of doing something different caused
him
to read instructions before doing something he was unfamiliar with. If
so,
that would be an example of how a particular mental problem can be
beneficial in some situations.
Like all women, my sister gives orders to people, as if they are
her children, and so she ordered my mother to continue taking the drug.
She
also reprimanded me for giving medical advice because I am not a doctor.
Originally the doctor prescribed 5 mg pills, but when my mother and
sister told the doctor that it wasn't helping her memory, and neither
of them said anything about the side effects, the doctor doubled the
dosage to 10 mg, which made the side effects even worse.
 My sister bought a pillbox for
my mother to ensure that she takes her medicines every day. When I
visited my mother, I would secretly remove the tablets, and that would
allow my mother to feel good for a few days before my sister
visited her and put the tablets back into the container.
For a couple of months I would remove the pills and tell my mother to
stop
taking the drug, and my sister would order her to take it. One day I
took a photo of the Donepezil container that says to take the drug at
night,
( the photo farther up), and I emailed the photo
to my aunt. I asked my aunt
to email the photo to my sister and try to convince her to notice that
the pill is supposed to be taken at night. I also attached a document
with some of the side effects of Donepezil. I was hoping
that my sister would listen to an older woman.
Somehow my aunt convinced my sister to look at the instructions, and my
sister finally realized that the drug was dangerous, and told my mother
to stop taking it. Ever since then, my mother has not had heart
problems, or wished that she was dead. However, she is still taking a
bunch of other medicines that she probably doesn't need as a result of
the doctor who didn't know that her heart problems were the side
effects of Donepezil. One of those drugs is Eliquis, which she pays
almost
$800 for every month.
I have given up trying to explain to my mother and sister that they
should reevaluate all of my mother's medicines. It is impossible to
have an intelligent conversation with most people. Most people want to
entertain themselves, not think, learn, or look critically at any of
their established beliefs.
It is especially difficult to have an intelligent conversation with
women. Our culture must acknowledge the evidence that women do not
think as well as men, or want
to think. They want to be pampered Queens. They claim that
they want to be equal
with their husband, but in reality they follow authorities and their
peer group, and they want to be taken care of.
Children have that same attitude. They claim that they want
the freedom to make their own decisions, but they don't truly want to
be
independent. As with women, they want to be taken care of and pampered,
and they want to follow their peer group.
Men are not much better than the women and children, however. All of us
claim that we want to be
independent, and have the freedom to do as we please, but in reality we
also follow our peer group, and are submissive to whoever is in a
position of authority. Some men are so childlike or feminine that they
comfort themselves by fantasizing that God or Jesus will take care of
them.
We have these hypocritical and irrational desires because we are
animals, and we have emotions that provide checks and balances on one
another. We have an emotion that causes
us to want to do as we please, but we also have emotions that cause us
to want to be a member of a group. These conflicting emotions prevent
us from becoming too independent, or from becoming too submissive.
In prehistoric times, the people who were too independent or too
submissive would suffer. The battle
for life resulted in people developing emotional characteristics that
were suitable for that prehistoric environment.
Today, however, we are preventing nature from eliminating the abnormal
people. This is resulting in some people who are abnormally
independent, and abnormally submissive. Every generation is becoming
more diverse in their intellectual and emotional characteristics and
defects.
Today we need to observe everybody and pass judgment
on who has the characteristics we want for the future
generations. We must also acknowledge the evidence that men and women
have different personalities, and that women and children need more
guidance and less freedom than men.
Women and children believe that they need independence and freedom, but
they evolved and emotional desire to be submissive to men, and taken
care of by men. Unfortunately, most men are so confused by the
complexities of the modern
world that they cannot take care of themselves, so we cannot expect
them to take care of their wives, children, or society. Instead, most
men pander
to their wife and children, and some men exploit women and children for
profit or sex.
We need to change our culture so that we have leaders who can provide
guidance to the public. We must acknowledge the evidence
that the majority of people cannot make sensible decisions about life.
We must also change our attitude towards medical care and acknowledge
that we don't know much about medical problems. The public is putting
pressure on doctors to pretend that
they have solutions to our medical problems, rather than be honest and
admit that there are lots of medical problems they cannot understand or
fix. The public is also pressuring businesses to provide them with
cures for wrinkles, obesity, and baldness, which the businesses cannot cure.

Donepezil
should have a warning.
|
Doctors and businesses should be honest,
rather than pander to the public. For example, the label for Donepezil
should have a warning on it, as in
the image to
the right, to remind the patient that it is an experimental
drug with serious side effects and minimal
benefits to only some
people, rather than a medication that has been proven to be
useful and safe.
The people who want doctors and businesses to provide them with
fantasies of how they will be cured of old age, wrinkles, memory
problems, cancer, and obesity, rather than be told the truth, must be
regarded as having an unacceptable
mind for our modern era, and they should be prohibited from
reproducing. We should stop feeling sorry for them, stop pandering to
them, and stop altering our culture in an attempt to reduce their
crying, pouting, and tantrums.
Those people have a similar attitude as the religious people who refuse
to believe that they will rot like an animal when they die, and who
prefer to believe that they will go to heaven. It was acceptable for
prehistoric people to have idiotic beliefs about life, but modern
humans need the emotional and intellectual to understand and accept
unpleasant scientific evidence.
The problems my mother was having with Donepezil is just one example of
how we cannot expect doctors, who see patients only a few minutes once
or twice a year, to know how to solve a person's medical problems.
Furthermore, when people see more than one doctor, such as when they go
to a neurologist for one problem, a heart doctor for problems with
their heart, and another doctor for digestive problems, none of the
doctors will realize that they are just one doctor prescribing
medications unless the patient remembers to provide that information.
Doctors provide their patients with a form for them to list their
medicines, allergies, and other information, but my
mother could not remember all of the drugs that she was taking. She
never told the heart doctor that she was taking Donepezil. Furthermore,
most doctors don't have any experience with Donepezil.
The only way to ensure that doctors have accurate information about
their patient's health history is to eliminate secrecy and gather data
about everybody's life. A doctor can then look in the database to learn
about the patient.
Medical technology is becoming so complex we should develop software
that can analyze a database of everybody's health information to
provide both patients and doctors with help in understanding their
medical problems.
Eventually we will be able to create software that can analyze video of
us
as we eat, sleep, walk, sneeze, cough, interact with one another, use
the bathroom, and work at our jobs. That software will help us notice
that some people are suffering from side effects of a medication, or
suffering from a health problem.
By having the software analyze the behavior of people who use drugs, we
will get a better understanding of what combination of drugs is the
most risky, and what the most common side effects are.
The more complex our drugs and medical procedures become, the more
important it is for us to collect health information in the People
database, and develop software to help us analyze medical issues.
In addition to improving our software, we need to improve our customs in regard to health
services. Specifically, patients should regard doctors as "medical
assistants", rather than as "medical gods". Patients should take an active
role in their medical care.
Patients should learn about their medications and its side effects, and
use the People
database to
compare themselves to other people. Adults should regard a doctor as helping us to take care of ourselves, rather than
have the attitude of
a child who expects a doctor to take care of him.
Every culture encourages doctors to make all of the decisions, and
their patients to be passive, but we did not develop that culture
because it is intellectually sensible. Rather, it is because the
majority of people do not have the desire to learn about their medical
problems or treatments. Most people want to be taken care of, like a
child.
In order for us to provide better healthcare, we must eliminate
secrecy, gather medical information about everybody, and require
everybody to get involved with their healthcare by learning about their
problems and medications.
One of my mother's friends is another example of how we will benefit by
eliminating secrecy and collecting data about drugs and health issues.
I don't know all the details, but she was in the hospital for sepsis
when she was about 90 years old. She had lost a tremendous amount
of weight and was on the verge of dying.
One day a different doctor
took over, analyzed the medicines that she was taking, and gave her new
prescriptions. Within days she was feeling much better, left the
hospital, regained her weight, and was back to her normal life. She is
another example of people who were suffering from the medicines they
were taking.
If we had a database with everybody's
health information, we would do a much better job of understanding how
medicines are affecting us; how we differ in our reactions to
medicines; and which combinations of medicines are the most
dangerous.
The people who are promoting secrecy are interfering with our
understanding of ourselves, and our health. They must be regarded as savages in a human world. They are dirt in the transmission.
We have nothing to fear by putting "personal and private" information
about ourselves into a database, and by having surveillance cameras
scattered around the city. Rather, we have a tremendous amount to gain
from it. We must stop being intimidated by the people who whine about
needing secrecy, and we must avoid being deceived by the people who
give us idiotic reasons for secrecy.
Example #5: Relationships
Many women claim to be
innocent victims of abusive boyfriends and husbands, and many men claim
that they are single or divorced because women are cruel or disgusting.
However, if we had detailed surveillance video and data about
everybody's lives, we would discover that everybody is at least partly
responsible for the problems they have with their friendships and
marriages.
We can do this to a certain extent with some of the people who appear
on reality television programs. By analyzing their interactions with
other people, we can show them that a lot of their problems are the
result of their behavior.
For example, in the Hoarders television series, many of the hoarders
get into arguments with their family members, and they accuse their
family members of not treating them properly, or some other type of
abuse, but the video provides evidence that the actual reason that they
get into arguments is because they
have irritating personalities and behavior.
If we had surveillance video of everybody, then the people who complain
about their spouse, friend, family member, or coworker could analyze
video of themselves interacting with that person, and determine whether
they are truly being abused, or whether they have an irritating
personality. However, most people would refuse to look at that video,
or they would refuse to look critically at themselves and look for ways
to blame the other people for their troubles.
The athletes who become successful are one of the few groups of people
who truly want to look critically at themselves and their behavior.
They want their coach to record their
performance on video, and then point out where they made mistakes, or
how their performance can be improved. Almost everybody else would put
up a fight if somebody recorded them on video and then played that
video to them to point out why people are irritated with them.
No culture encourages people
to record video of a friend or family member, and use that video to
help the person understand why he is having troubles in life. Every
culture is encouraging people to be "polite", but every culture is
defining polite as providing praise and compliments, even if they are
false, and avoiding critical remarks.
We would create a more pleasant society if our culture regarded
politeness to be helping people to improve themselves, such as pointing
out to a friends that his zipper is open, or that he has food on his
chin or mucus on his nose. We should also consider a person to be
polite when they help us improve our interactions with our spouse,
friends, and coworkers.
Unfortunately, the only people who will regard constructive criticism
as "politeness" are the people who are capable of looking critically at
themselves, and who have a desire to improve themselves. They seem to
be a small minority of the population. Although a lot of people insist
that they want to know the truth, most of them have tantrums or pout
when the truth is something they dislike.
If we had surveillance video of everybody, an analysis of the video
would show us that the people who are having trouble in life are
suffering because of their particular mental and physical
characteristics, not because
other people are cruel, racist, anti-Semitic, or sexist. An example are
the people who react to constructive criticism by pouting or having
tantrums, rather than learning from it.
To make this issue more complex, some of the problems we cause
ourselves are not due to " bad"
characteristics. Rather, they are due to characteristics that are no
longer appropriate in our modern era. An obvious example is that we
have a tendency to eat excessively, but that is not because we are
"bad". It is because our craving for food and sugar evolved for a
prehistoric era.
For another example of emotions that are no longer appropriate, women
have a natural desire to be pleasant, which
results in them frequently giving people compliments and praise,
especially their children. If we had surveillance video of our
prehistoric ancestors, we would
notice that this characteristic caused the prehistoric women to make
people feel good and develop confidence, as mentioned here.
Those women helped to maintain high morale and good attitudes.
However, as society became increasingly complex, that type of
deception became increasingly detrimental. For example, when a modern
woman tells her friend that she loves her
new hairstyle, but which she and her other friends dislike, then she
encourages her friend to wear a hairstyle that she and her
friends dislike, and if her friend learns the truth, it can
create a problem with their friendship.
Likewise, when a woman lies to her husband that she enjoys the way
touches her or has sex with her, she will encourage him to continue
that irritating behavior, and if her husband learns the truth, that can
create problems for their
marriage.
Women have a strong desire to deceive people, but not because women
have "bad" characteristics. Rather, they inherited characteristics that
are inappropriate today.
Likewise, men have strong cravings for status and sex, but not because
we are "bad" people.
We are in an environment that is unnatural
to us, and this requires us to understand our behavioral
characteristics and use our intelligence to make better decisions of
how to behave. However, we cannot
understand human behavior when we allow people to be secretive and
deceptive.
This constitution advocates installing as many security
cameras as we
can tolerate. The more surveillance we do on ourselves, the more data
we will have to understand ourselves.
The surveillance video will also make it easier for us to resolve our
conflicts, and help us to understand why some people are having trouble
in life, and what they can do to improve their situation. It will also
help us determine who should reproduce.
Only athletes want constructive
criticism
Every culture is putting so
much emphasis on the winning of sports contests that thousands of
athletes around the world want to use video to record their
performance, and then analyze it to see how they can improve their
performance.
There are businesses dedicated to providing athletes and coaches with
video analysis services, equipment, and software. For example, the Onform company claims that there are more than
half a million coaches and athletes using their services, and in more
than 150 nations, and that company was founded only four years ago in
2020. And that is only one of many companies providing that type of
service.
Onform is only
one of many companies that provide athletes with assistance in
analyzing their performance.
|
The athletes that are successful want people to analyze their
performance and show them how they can improve themselves.
The athletes do not
react to constructive criticism by pouting or having temper tantrums.
Instead, they appreciate
constructive criticism. They regard a coach as incompetent
and worthless
if the only thing he can do is give them praise.
By comparison, the majority of people react to criticism with anger,
insults, hatred, sarcasm, or by ignoring it. They treat criticism as if
it were an attack by an enemy. They have no desire to improve their
behavior. They want us to give them
praise and awards, not constructive criticism.
There is no company that offers the service of recording a person's
life in order to help him become a better person. There is no company
that offers to put cameras inside a person's home, automobile, or
office, or to attach cameras to our clothing, so that they can collect
video of how we interact with other people, how we spend money, how we
shop for food, and how we treats our coworkers and family members.
Nobody asking for an analysis of his life or his personality.
There are some people who have such an intolerance of criticism that
they try to get revenge on people who criticize them. This is most
noticeable with gang members and communist dictators. They often try
to kill people who criticize them.
The Schools Ministry, and especially the Teentown Ministry, are
required to change that attitude by giving the children exercises in
analyzing themselves and one another so that they become accustomed to
giving and receiving constructive criticism, and looking for ways to
improve themselves. The children must be taught to figure out what
their talents and limitations are, and learn to accept what they are
rather than pretend they are something they want to be.
The schools are required to teach children that the highest quality
people
are those who learn about life and themselves as they grow older, and
who improve themselves and their relationships. The people who never
learn anything or improve themselves are like animals that merely
exist from one day to the next.
The people who want secrecy and praise, or who whine about being
criticized or judged, are dirt in a transmission because they interfere
with our understanding of ourselves and other people.
Furthermore, it is important that we analyze everybody, and not give anybody
secrecy. If we analyze only a group of volunteers, or a small section
of the population, we can come to inaccurate conclusions.
For example, if scientists study the school performance of children who
come from poor families and are hungry all the time, the scientists
could come to the conclusion that breakfast is the most important meal
because they will notice that giving the children some food in the
morning helps them to relax and concentrate on their schoolwork.
However, if the scientists were to study the typical American children,
they would discover that that most of them are eating excessively, and
that they benefit by having a smaller breakfast, or skipping breakfast
and eating only lunch and dinner.
The only way we can understand ourselves is to understand what is
different and similar between us and other people, and between us and
monkeys, dogs, and other animals. We need to study all humans and
other
animals in order to
truly understand ourselves.
We are not cruel to analyze people, apes, or dogs, and pass judgment on
their mental or
physical characteristics. We are not cruel to tell a person our
opinions about him, either. Most people's opinions are "ordinary"
rather than "intelligent", but none of us will be harmed by listening
to somebody's opinion, even if it is an idiotic opinion.
To complicate this issue, some of the complaints that people make about
us are actually the result of problems that they have. This occurs frequently
with children. For example, a child might criticize his parents for
being cruel for not giving him a toy that he wants, but his parents are
not cruel. Rather,
by denying him what he wants, he experienced some emotional discomfort,
and since he doesn't think very well or have much of an education, he
misinterprets that unpleasant emotional feeling as cruelty by his
parents.
In that situation, the child is giving his parents a worthless analysis of their
behavior, but the parents will not be harmed by listening to his
idiotic criticism, unless the
parents choose to let
themselves be hurt by his remarks.
It can be useful to hear another person's opinion about us, even the
opinion of a child or an idiot, because it can help us to understand
how
they think, and how they interpret us. Even though we might not learn
anything about ourselves by listening to their analysis, we might learn
something about their mind,
which can be useful if we have to interact
with them occasionally.
For example, the manager of a factory would benefit by getting a better
understanding of how his employees think. Their analysis of him, and
their analysis of other issues, might be stupid, but it can help him to
understand their particular emotional and intellectual
characteristics,
which can help him make better decisions about how to manage the team.
For another example, parents, teachers, and other adults can benefit by
listening to a child's opinions because that can help the adults to
understand what the child needs in regards to advice and education, and
whether the child is suffering from some emotional, medical, or
intellectual disorder.
By putting surveillance cameras around the city, and by using tracking
and facial recognition software, we will be able to perform analyses of
ourselves and one another, which will help all of us to get a better
understanding of humans and the problems we experience.
It would be embarrassing for us to have somebody show us a video in
which we are making stupid remarks or decisions, or getting into
idiotic arguments with our spouse, coworkers, or friends, but it would
be beneficial to all of
us, just like the video analyses of athletes is beneficial to them.
We want engineers to
improve their products; architects to improve
their structures; and scientists to provide us with an improved
understanding of the universe. We should also want the people we live
with to
improve their behavior and decisions.
We live for only a few decades, so we should stop fearing
embarrassment. Our lives are so short that we should not waste any of
it on worthless activities, such as being embarrassed of our animal
characteristics. We should try to maximize our satisfaction from life.
We
should learn to enjoy
analyzing video of ourselves, and using the analyses to understand
ourselves and other people, and improve our relationships and lives.
It is foolish to pity the misfits
In the Hoarders television
series, each hoarder is provided with a
large group of people to clean his home,
and they often provide the hoarder with a new refrigerator, stove,
furniture, and counseling services.
If society benefitted by helping the hoarders, then it would be
justifiable to put that much labor and resources into helping them
clean their home, but
the Hoarders do not give
anything in
return for the help. Many of
them resume hoarding after the cleaning crew is gone.
When we provide healthy, respectable children with an education, we
benefit from
their skills when they become adults. We also benefit by helping
healthy, respectable adults become more educated, or get a more useful
job, or
find a spouse. However, when we clean the
house of a hoarder and provide him with new furniture, we are giving
pity and handouts to a person with significant mental problems, and we
get nothing in return. We cannot solve problems with pity and handouts.
Giving handouts to an adult who cannot take care of himself is as
detrimental as a farmer
putting his labor and resources into helping the retarded, sickly, and
elderly animals. Farmers realize that they must put their labor and
resources into taking care of the healthy
animals, and euthanizing the
retarded, elderly, and sickly animals.
By comparison, the television series Hoarders,
Buried Alive, doesn't clean the person's house or give them any
furniture. It only provides them with some assistance and advice in
cleaning their house, and some of those people end up learning to
become somewhat capable of keeping their house clean.
America has a lot of organizations that give pity and handouts to
homeless people, alcoholics, retards, criminals, hoarders, and
lunatics, but none of those organizations are doing anything to reduce
those problems. The only hoarders, alcoholics, and other people who
have improved their behavior were the few who had the desire
and ability to improve.
We cannot improve our world with pity or handouts, but that is a common
policy in every culture. The USA even gives pity and handouts to entire
nations, such as giving them handouts of food, technology, and military
weapons, and giving them handouts when they suffer from floods or
earthquakes. However, instead of improving those nations or the world,
the handouts make the problems worse by allowing the hungry people to
raise more children, thereby creating more hungry people, and by
providing technology and weapons to cultures that cannot handle it.
The only way to improve our world is to experiment with our culture, such as
improving our educational and economic system, and restrict reproduction
to the people who are better able to take care of
themselves and fit into this modern world.
The problem of student debt
is an example of how we can reduce problems by changing our culture.
There are millions of people who have
significant debt from when they were students in college, and they are
putting pressure on the government to eliminate that debt. The Biden
administration has agreed
to eliminate some student debt, but that is a handout to certain students, not a
solution to the problem of student debt. A more sensible reaction is to
understand why so
many students have
significant debt, and then experiment
with our culture to reduce that problem.
An investigation would show us that one reason that so many students
end up with a tremendous debt is because the colleges are providing worthless
educations at high expenses.
Therefore, we can reduce
the debt problem by experimenting with the school curriculum to make it
more useful, and experimenting to make it less expensive.
An investigation of student debt would also show us that some of the
people who are getting into debt are making foolish decisions about how
to spend their money. Those
particular students are showing evidence of ignorance and/or an inferior mind.
We can significantly reduce the problem of student debt by changing our
culture. For example, by
eliminating money and providing everybody with free homes, education,
food, and material items, nobody can get into debt. That type of
culture will also eliminate all of the
other problems associated with money, such as carrying wallets, and
having to deal with friends and relatives who want to borrow money from
us.
Eliminating money will not solve every problem, however, because it
will continue to be possible for people to make idiotic decisions. For
example, it will be even easier for people
to become hoarders when they have free access to all material items; it
will be easier for people to become overweight when they have
access to free food; and it will be possible for people to abuse a lot
of material items when they have free access
to them.
No matter what type of culture we have, there will be misfits who
cannot make sensible decisions. Therefore, every
culture must acknowledge the unpleasant fact that the creation of
life is an extremely complex process; that most people are
average or below-average in their genetic characteristics; and a small
percentage will be misfits.
Every culture must follow the practices that have been successful for
farmers. Specifically, we must take care of the healthy people. The only sensible
way of dealing with misfits is to evict those that are destructive, put
the other on restrictions, and impose restrictions on reproduction to
keep the number of misfits to as low a level as possible.
No matter what our culture is, the misfits will suffer. However, there
is no benefit to making everybody
suffer. The misfits might regard us as being cruel and selfish for
putting our time and resources into providing ourselves with a
wonderful life while they suffer, but we are not responsible for their
suffering. They suffer because all living creatures are haphazard
jumbles of genetic characteristics, and there will always be defects
and detrimental combinations of genes.
We must understand the differences between men and women
Prehistoric men and women
would have had wonderful
relationships because they evolved for that environment. Today the
relationships between men and women are so miserable that many people
are afraid to get married, including people in leadership positions.
Some people are so lonely that they are forming friendships with
animals,
material items, fictional characters in television programs or books,
or computer generated
people. However, providing lonely people with
a
substitute for a friend or spouse is not
solving the problem. It is as idiotic as giving a homeless person a toy
house so that he can imagine himself living in it.
The lonely people also degrade our social environment by having
abnormal
relationships. For example, their dogs contaminate our cities with
poop, noise, fleas, and pee, and some of their dogs bite or kill people.
They also have a bad effect on our economy because they provide
financial support to the businesses that provide those substitutes, and
the people who are bitten by dogs add a burden to our healthcare
services. It would be better if they were supporting businesses that
provided something useful for us.
We
would have a much more pleasant, clean, safe,
and quiet environment, and more useful businesses, if we lived among
people who could form
friendships with people.
Even worse are the lonely people who become angry, such as Elliot
Rodger, who threw
coffee on a couple he was envious of. People are also troublesome when
they develop the "sour grapes attitude" and complain that people
are awful, or that the opposite sex is disgusting, or that they don't
want
friends or a spouse. We would
have a more pleasant social environment if everybody had a pleasant
attitude, and there were no bitter, angry, or envious people.
In a free enterprise system and a democracy, the businesses and
government officials pander to the lonely people by providing them with
pet dogs, sex robots, and dating services, but it would be more
sensible to experiment with
our
culture to improve relationships. This
requires that we eliminate secrecy so that we can observe men and
women, and it requires increasing the restrictions on our freedom so
that the government can experiment with culture.
Some people believe that men and women will have a more successful
marriage if they live together first. We provide people with so much
secrecy that we cannot be certain if that is true, but some studies
suggest that the people who lived together before they get married are less likely to
have a successful
marriage.
This has been referred to as the "cohabitation effect".
Why would a man and woman have a wonderful relationship while they are
dating, or while they are living together, but not when they are
married? If we could collect data
about everybody's life, we would undoubtedly discover that one
reason is modern men and women are no
longer under pressure to treat
their spouse in a sensible manner.
Women evolved for an environment in which they were taken care of by
their father, and then their husband.
Prehistoric women were terrified at the thought that their father or
husband would not come home from hunting. They were grateful when he
came home. They appreciated the men. They were under pressure to
attract a husband, and be nice to him.
Likewise, the prehistoric men were under pressure
to treat their wife and children with respect. If a man treated his
children as sex toys, or if he was
abusive to
his
wife, everybody would have noticed. The prehistoric people didn't have
any laws or police to stop them from attacking abusive men. Prehistoric
women could also abandon a husband and get involved with another man
without being hindered
by laws regarding divorce or marriage.
Today, however, there is no pressure on us to treat our
spouse or
children with respect. We also have the secrecy to abuse our family
members without anybody noticing.
If we could observe single people before and after they get married, we
would discover that while we are single, we are under pressure
to treat our partner with respect, but once we get married, the
pressure is gone, and we are free to behave as we truly want to behave.
When we are single and dating, or when we are living together, we are
in a "probationary period". We are being observed and judged. We are
analogous to an employee who was just hired and is on
probation.
When we get married, the probation period is over, so we are free
to behave in whatever manner we please. At one extreme, the
people who are the most honest will not change much after their
probationary period, but at the other extreme are the people who
changed significantly.
Surveillance of the population would help us determine whether men or
women are the most likely to change their behavior after marriage, and
which aspects of our behavior is
most likely to change.
That knowledge can help us understand human behavior, and improve our
relationships. It will also help the Courtship Ministry design
activities to counteract our deceptive behavior; help the Schools
Ministry improve the curriculum about relationships and marriage; and
help the Reproduction Ministry determine who should be prohibited from
reproducing.
We have problems that
prehistoric people didn't have
One reason that couples get
divorced is because they disagree on how to
spend their money. Prehistoric people never argued about that
because they didn't
have any money, and they could only collect as much
stuff as they could carry during their nomadic travels.
Humans did not evolve for an
environment in which there is money, credit cards, online shopping,
gambling, investments, and phenomenal amounts of food and material
items. Modern
humans must have a much better understanding of our emotional cravings,
and have enough self-control to make intelligent decisions about what
to do.
We also need to understand the differences between men and women so
that we can design work environments and recreational activities that
are more appropriate for us, and so that married couples can make
better decisions on how to treat their spouse.
The Hoarders TV series is profit-making entertainment, not a scientific
study of hoarding, so we must be cautious about making conclusions
about human behavior from that television series. However, it makes it
appear as
if men are more likely to
collect tools, broken items that they plan to fix, and mechanical
devices,
and women are more likely to collect items for children, items for
their home, and clothing for themselves. Women also
collect a lot of things that they describe as "sentimental".
Some of the episodes show that both the husband and wife appear to be
equally involved with hoarding, but as the cleaning crew removes items
from their home, the women put up much
more resistance than the men.
In one episode, a man's wife was threatening to leave him if he did not
stop his hoarding, but as the cleaning crew began to remove items from
their home, it became obvious that the hoarding was the result of the woman, and her
husband was so submissive that he was allowing the
hoarding, and he was allowing her to blame
him for the hoarding.
We cannot assume that the television series is showing a random sample
of the hoarders, but it creates the impression that women have a
stronger desire to collect items, more trouble
controlling their spending of money, and more trouble controlling their
craving to hoard items.
The women also seem to be more likely to blame their
hoarding on
other people or events, such as the death of a
family member, a divorce, or their husband, rather than acknowledge
that they caused the mess. When the women are able to admit that they
are the source of the mess, they tend to do so with a "feel sorry for
me" tone of voice and attitude.
It is possible that women are more likely to become a hoarder because
they evolved to be pampered by men. Men want
to go out into the world
to find and create things, and we want to bring things back to our
family.
Women, by comparison, want to "remain home" and receive gifts from men.
Women assume the gifts from men will continue forever,
so they don't plan for the future. When they are children, they assume
their parents will take care of them, and when they choose a husband,
they assume their husband will take care of them.
Men want to become wealthy mainly so that we can provide a home, food,
and other items to our wife and children, not because we want the items
for ourselves. Although there are some men who have a strong desire to
gather material items for themselves, the "normal" men want to be givers of things,
and women want to be receivers.
After the women have
been given things by men, they give a lot of it to
their children. The women then become the givers and the children
become the receivers.
Women evolved to be submissive to men, and taken care of by men. They
want to be pampered and loved, not alone. When a woman's husband dies
and she has no one to take care of her, she can become unhappy and
frightened. That misery can cause a woman who doesn't think very well,
or who has mental disorders, to do inappropriate things to make herself
feel
better, such as shopping, becoming a mother for pet dogs, eating
excessively, using alcohol or other drugs, or trying to look pretty
with jewelry, clothing, and cosmetics. As a result of those
inappropriate reactions to being alone, those women can become
hoarders, obese, or in debt.
A similar situation can occur when a woman with mental problems has a
mentally ill or submissive husband. Instead of getting guidance
from her husband, she is like a child who has submissive
or mentally incompetent parents. Those women and children have to
become their own leaders and make intelligent decisions, but if they
cannot do so, they hurt themselves.
We need leadership, not freedom
Giving a woman or child the freedom to make their own decisions is
useful only
if they can make better decisions than their husband or
parents. Otherwise they benefit by having a husband or parents to be
their leader, and provide them with guidance.
That concept also applies to men. Specifically, giving a man the
freedom to make his own decisions is useful only if the
government is so incompetent or dishonest that the ordinary man can
make better decisions than the government officials.
All of the existing governments are so incompetent and dishonest that
ordinary men can
make better decisions about life, but we would all have a better life,
and the world would be more beautiful and peaceful, if we could provide
ourselves with leaders who can provide us with
guidance.
The human mind evolved for a prehistoric era, so all of us need help in
dealing with the complexities of our new world. All of us have more
freedom than we can handle. All of us occasionally
hurt ourselves or other people as a result of making a stupid decision
about what to do. For example:
•
|
|
Giving us the freedom to own
material items is causing most people to get into idiotic competitions
to have
the most items; get into debt; and clutter their homes and
garages with items that they don't need.
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
Giving us the freedom to eat
whatever we want, whenever we
please, and in whatever quantities we please, is resulting in many
people becoming overweight or sickly.
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
Giving us the freedom to find a
spouse in whatever manner we please and whenever we please is allowing
us to irritate one another at our jobs and social affairs; deceive one
another about our history and behavior; and get into
miserable relationships.
|
Most men realize
that children need more leadership than adults, but most men are afraid
to consider or admit that women need more leadership than men. Men want
to appease women, not upset them.
It was acceptable for prehistoric
men to pander to the women because
the women wanted sensible things, such as food, tools, and protection
from wolves. Also, it was impossible for a woman to hurt her family by
getting into debt, becoming obese, or
becoming a hoarder.
Today, however, men need to be able to differentiate
between when they are providing their wife with leadership, and when they
are pandering to her irrational desires.
Likewise, parents need to differentiate between when they are taking
care of their children, and when they allowing their children to
develop bad attitudes and get involved with
worthless or destructive
activities.
Parents are not providing
leadership when they provide their children with excessive amounts of
food, or when they "protect" them from work, disappointments, failures,
and criticism.
Our modern technology makes it very easy for parents to provide a child
with what he needs to survive,
but modern parents need to do more than feed their children. They need
to prepare
children for a complex, technically advanced world.
Both men and women are
guilty of extramarital affairs
Surveillance of the population would also help us to understand how
many married couples have extramarital affairs, and how many affairs
they have, and why they are having the affairs. We would also notice
that both men and women are involved, but that the women are more
likely to avoid responsibility.
For example, Martha Stewart advised
women to divorce a man who has an extramarital affair. She said that a
man who has an
affair is " a piece of shit".
She admitted
to having an extramarital affair, but she did not
criticize herself or other women who have had affairs as "a piece of
shit".
My mother's sister married a man who women considered extremely
good-looking. ( Albert Hood, on page
129 in the Ladies Home Journal, described farther down). He
had a lot of affairs while they were married, and I have heard my
mother
and her sisters describe him as "evil" as a result. However, I never
heard them criticize the women
who were involved with the affairs.
If a man is an evil piece of shit for having an affair, then the
women who are involved with affairs are also evil pieces of shit.
Likewise, many women insult older men as "dirty" or "perverted" for
having
fantasies of having touching, kissing, or having sex with young adult
women, but if those men are dirty, then a woman is dirty if she has
fantasies of grabbing or kissing the babies of other women.
If we could read minds, we might discover that almost every woman
occasionally has a fantasy of having an affair with a wealthy, famous,
or good-looking man, which would explain why they don't want to accuse
women of being evil for having affairs. We might also find that almost
every woman wants to grab and kiss the babies of other
women.
Some women have admitted to having desires to steal other women's
babies, but they don't condemn themselves, or women, for such thoughts.
Men are just as selfish and hypocritical. We want to have sex with
every woman we are attracted to, but we don't want our wife to have
affairs, and we are protective of our daughters.
We cannot understand or reduce the problem of extramarital affairs when
everybody is hiding or justifying their affairs and
insulting
other people for having them. Both men and women must acknowledge the
evidence that all humans are a species of ape, and that we all have
crude, animal characteristics. We must stop pretending that we are
better than other people.
Women blame men
for extramarital affairs, but it is impossible for a man
to have an affair unless there is a woman
willing to participate in it. Therefore, both men and women should take
the blame equally, unless one of them deceives the other into believing
that he is single.
To complicate this issue, as mentioned in some other documents, we
should also consider the possibility that humans evolved to secretly
have affairs as a way of producing more genetic variations in the
children. If so, it is idiotic to criticize ourselves for a desire that
is built into our brain.
Hatred and insults will degrade our social
environment and our lives, rather than improve our marriages. We need
to eliminate secrecy so that we can study ourselves, and we need to
experiment with our culture to encourage more
appropriate behavior and suppress the undesirable behavior.
Our minds need to evolve for our
new era
Our emotions evolved to
make us do things. For example, our desire for sex is intended to trick
us into reproducing; our attraction to children is to trick us into
taking care of them; hunger is intended to make us eat; and thirst is
intended to make us drink water.
However, our emotions evolved for a primitive environment, and they are
inappropriate today.
We need to study ourselves and figure out which emotions we should
suppress, which should be encouraged, and which should be bred out
of us.
Both men and women also need to become more intelligent, more willing
to think, more willing to learn, and more willing to look critically at
themselves and favorably at other people. We also need to be able
to enjoy other people rather
than regard them as potential enemies.
Elon Musk promotes
GLP-1 inhibitors to help people lose weight, whereas Robert Kennedy believes:
If we just gave good food, three
meals a day, to every man, woman and child in our country, we could
solve the obesity and diabetes epidemic overnight.
Neither of those men have solutions to the problem of diabetes or
obesity. Elon Musk is correct that those drugs can help people lose
weight, but that is not a solution
to the problem of excessive weight. The only solution is to restrict
reproduction to the people who don't need those drugs.
Kennedy is also correct that if we provided appropriate meals for
everybody, we would significantly reduce the problems of obesity and
diabetes. However, it is impossible in a free enterprise system and a
democracy to provide people with appropriate meals because every person
has the freedom to choose his meals; the businesses are in competition
to pander to the consumers rather than provide them with guidance; and
the government officials are competing to appease their particular
supporters, rather than provide guidance.
The only way we can ensure that everybody is eating appropriate meals
is to treat them like prisoners
who are forced to eat the meals that the government gives them.
However, that would be an unpleasant social environment. We don't want
to be prisoners, or prison guards.
This constitution advocates eliminating the freedom of citizens to
purchase food and make their own meals, and require them to get meals
at restaurants that follow the guidelines of government officials who
are zoologists with above-average intelligence and self-control.
However, by giving everybody free access to all of the restaurants, it
will be possible for people to become overweight, sickly, and anorexic.
The only good solution to the problem of people who are overweight or
poorly nourished is to restrict reproduction to the people who are
capable of making sensible decisions about their meals. That will
eventually eliminate the problem of people who are struggling to lose
weight, who are anorexic, and who need weight-loss drugs.
By restricting reproduction to the people who can control their eating
habits, the people in the future will be able to relax at restaurants
and enjoy their meals without any concern about becoming overweight or
sickly.
The human race must evolve for our new era. We cannot solve our
problems with drugs, pity, handouts, punishments, or rehabilitation
programs. We must pass judgment on who has the characteristics we want
for the future generations, and restrict reproduction to those people.
The ideal situation is for people who are so healthy and well adapted
to this modern world that they don't need any weight-loss drugs,
insulin injections, thyroid medications, aspirin, or allergy
medications.
Everybody should also be able to relax around material items without
struggling to suppress their craving to steal or vandalize the items.
Every man should be able to relax around women and children, including
naked women and children, without struggling to control his craving to
grab at or have sex with them.
Every person should be able to learn
from constructive criticism, rather than struggle to control his
pouting, temper tantrums, hatred, and violence. Everybody should be
able to get to sleep without drugs, and get up in the
morning without suffering, and without any need for caffeine, nicotine,
or other stimulants. Everybody should be able to look in the mirror and
enjoy what they see rather than hate themselves and wish for cosmetic
surgery.
The only way we can create that ideal world is to eliminate secrecy,
observe everybody, and pass judgment on who has the appropriate genetic
characteristics for the next generation.
Example
#6: Solving crimes
One of the most obvious
reasons for eliminating secrecy and collecting surveillance video and
other information about
us is to enable us to solve crimes.
Every nation has more crime than businesses, orchestras, militaries,
and other organizations. In order to improve this situation, a nation
must operate more similar to a business or military.
This Constitution requires every
city to maintain a People
database that has a list of every citizen in the city, and to install a
surveillance system that has
facial recognition abilities. That allows the Security Ministry to
know the
approximate location of every person in the city at all times.
That makes it impossible for a person to be in the city illegally,
and if somebody was murdered, raped, or kidnapped, the
surveillance data would show approximately where the crime occurred,
and who was in that area at the time. Nobody would be able to fake
their death, either, or move to another neighborhood with a different
name.
Adults who cannot handle
reality are misfits
In June 2023, an Australian
professor at Swinburne University published the results of her analysis
of some Australians who had their DNA analyzed. She claims that nearly
67% of the people were "distressed" by the results. The most common
reason for the distress was discovering that they were related to
somebody who was badly
behaved, and the second most common reason was discovering they
were related to somebody who had been treated
cruelly.
The author wondered if the businesses that provide DNA analyses should
provide a warning that we
might discover some unpleasant
information about our ancestors. However, this constitution regards
such
a warning as being as idiotic as
requiring biology books to have a warning that we might become upset by
the evidence that humans evolved from animals.
Although we have
different
ideas about what classifies as "bad behavior" and "cruel treatment", if
we had complete video surveillance of all humans during the past few
million years, we would discover that all of us have some ancestors who
"behaved badly" or were "treated cruelly".
The people who cannot handle that knowledge should be regarded as mentally incompetent. They are as troublesome as
the people who cannot handle the
truth about the pedophile networks, the Holocaust, the 9/11 attack, and
the
Apollo moon landing.
Years ago I mentioned
that most people would be horrified if they could read other people's
minds because most people have such a difficult time
dealing with criticism that they would be unable to handle all of the
critical thoughts that people had about them, and women would be
horrified by the sexual thoughts
that pass through a man's mind.
Being able to read minds would provide us with the truth about what
people really think, but how many people can handle the truth? Every
culture is encouraging us to hide the truth in order to avoid
upsetting people, but this constitution has a different attitude. We
should regard people who cannot handle the truth as having an inferior mind.
If our government had been maintaining a publicly accessible DNA
database, we would be able to learn the truth about our ancestors, and
that of other people. We would be able to discover if Michelle Obama is
a man or woman. We would also discover that there has been a lot of
adultery in a lot of families. The people who cannot handle that type
of knowledge should be described as having an unacceptably crude mind
for our modern era.
Most of the Europeans who emigrated to Australia, the USA, and Canada,
were the losers
who were looking for an easier way to make a living, or
trying to get away from ridicule and rejection, or trying to escape
from
the police. England also evicted some of their criminals. Therefore,
most of the Americans, Canadians, and Australians have a lot of
embarrassing ancestors.
If we could look farther back into our ancestry, we would discover that
we are related to some crudely behaved animals. The people who cannot
handle the evidence that we have animal ancestors should be regarded as
inferior
people. We should not pander to them, or alter our culture to fit their
mental problems. Every adult should be able to acknowledge evolution,
and notice that humans look
and behave like apes.

We
must expect irrational
behavior from animals
We cannot
expect
perfect behavior from an ape, so we must expect all of us to routinely
be
influenced by the crude cravings and fears that we inherited from our
ape ancestors.
If we had complete video surveillance of the human race during the past
few million years, we would find that everybody
has routinely
made idiotic,
selfish, embarrassing, or appalling decisions as a result of our desire
to titillate some emotional craving, such as our craving to be
respected by our peer group, or to stop the titillation of an
unpleasant emotion, such as
our fear of the unknown. We would also notice that the younger a person
is, the more he is influenced by his emotions.
It is absurd for a person to be "distressed" to discover that his
ancestors occasionally behaved in a crude manner because all of us
occasionally behave in crude manners, and our ancestors were more
ignorant than us. Therefore, we should expect
our ancestors to have
behaved more like an animal than we do today.
Our ancestors a few thousand years ago were living in nomadic tribes, like apes, and it is impossible for our
brains to have evolved to fit our modern, technically advanced
societies in such
a short amount of time, especially considering that there has never
been any attempt to breed humans.

The human mind
has not yet evolved for the world as of 2025. Most people's minds are
designed for a nomadic tribe.
|
If we had the ability to analyze our DNA and determine
everybody's level
of evolution, we would discover that most people today
have a brain that is still genetically similar to
our ancestors in perhaps 5000 BC, and that a minority of the population
have a brain that is more similar to the people of 15,000 BC, and that nobody can has
a brain that has adapted to the technically advanced societies of 2025.
Likewise, the human body has not yet completely evolved for our era,
such
as sitting in chairs for hours at an office, dealing with artificial
lights late at night, and dealing
with our modern foods, such as grains, nuts, and sugar.
We might have to restrict reproduction for hundreds of generations
before we can truly
describe human behavior as "intelligent", and before our body can
handle our modern lifestyle and foods.
The people who cannot handle the evidence that they, their ancestors,
and everybody else has a mind and body that is similar to
that of an ape are people who
cannot handle reality.
They
are people who want to withdraw into a fantasy world.
I am capable of noticing and acknowledging the animal-like
characteristics in myself and my ancestors. For example, my uncle
looked into the issue of why his grandfather, emigrated from Italy to
the USA, and his conclusion was that it was because he got his
girlfriend pregnant before they were married, which was considered
terrible in
that era.
He emigrated to get away from the ridicule and criticism, and
after he got established in the USA, he brought his girlfriend over.
However, I am not interested in hiding from that embarrassing behavior,
or
pretending that it is inaccurate. I can accept that my great
grandfather did something embarrassing.
Example
#7: Entertainment
In addition to all of the useful applications of surveillance
video, it can also be a form of entertainment.
For example, when we arrange a party for somebody, we
could take videos segments of his life to show at the party, and when
we become elderly, we will occasionally enjoy watching some of the
video of ourselves when we were younger, and the video of our friends
or family members.
The people in the distant future will also enjoy watching some
of the video of us, just as we would enjoy watching some of the video
of our distant ancestors, if we had such video.
Example
#8: Human behavior
An article published in
June
1952 by the Ladies Home Journal provides another example of why we
should
regard the People
database and surveillance video as both valuable and
entertaining. The article is a description of life in my mother's
family at that time, and it has some of their history.
The article was written by journalists who got their information
about the family by observing them for a short period of time, and
by interviewing them.
The article was intended to appeal to the women who read the Ladies
Home Journal, rather than to provide scientists with accurate data
about the lives of a human family. Therefore, the journalists would
have ignored the information that they thought would be unappealing,
which gives a distorted view of the family. Also, my relatives
certainly biased the information that they provided to the journalists
in order to make themselves look better and avoid embarrassment.
The photographers were also biasing the
photos because their goal was to create photos that appealed to the
typical woman, rather than a group of scientists. For example, they
took quite a few photos, but published only those that they thought
were the most attractive. They gave some of the other photos to my
grandparents, which is why I know they did not use them all.
If, instead of that paper magazine article, we had unedited
surveillance video of the family, we would have a more accurate and
detailed understanding of how they lived and behaved.
The
article shows how a
working class family dealt with life.
The article was written to
show women how my grandparents, with six
children, were surviving on what I assume was a typical "working
class" income in 1952 in the small town of Ramsey, New Jersey.
The article has photos and
descriptions of their life, how they spent their money, but it doesn't
provide information about the finances
or
life of other American
families. Therefore, I have no idea if my grandparents would be
considered a
"typical"
American, working
class family in regards to their income, meals, spending habits,
clothing, recreational activities, and other aspects
of their life. This is an example of why we need to gather information
about everybody.
There are four separate articles, each written by a different
journalist:

This
article has some of the food recipes my grandmother used at that time.
|
The main article mentions
that my grandparents
traveled to California during the depression to find a job, but it
doesn't
provide any details. My mother says the trip reminds her of the Grapes Of
Wrath story, except without the criminal activities. She also says
that the dust was truly miserable
when they were traveling through the dust bowl area.
If there had been surveillance video of everybody at that time, we
would be able to create some interesting documentaries about life in
that era, such as how people traveled around to find jobs during the
1930s, and how they dealt with the dust in the Midwest. The video would
also help us understand that the dust was partly,
or primarily,
caused by the ignorance and irresponsible behavior of humans, not "bad
luck" or "bad weather".
