Contemplation Required Yur a DIP I'm not a DIP, yur a DIP! DIP YOU! What's a Dip? Dual In-line Package. I got your "Dual In-Line Package" right here! PCs primarily run the Windows operating system, with Linux a distant second place.
Human minds primarily run the Emotion operating system, with Intelect a distant second place.Electronic circuit boards are often made where the same board can be configured for slightly different uses. Introducing... DIP switches. DIP switches are no different than light switches in the wall. Flip DIPs... and the electronics work differently. You do this every day, turning lights on and off. Put em all toghether and those switches determine how and where your house has light...DIP switches exist in minds.Explore the analogy with me. Mental DIPs aren't absolute. Even when off, a little bit can still get through the slider.How we handle different types of eventsand the method by which we percieve reality...are the result of metaphorical DIP switches. A DIP switch turned on is called "set" and off is "unset." They often turn on and off while we're growing up. In a discussion of the subject you'll hear: "people become set in their ways." By mid twenties it's almost impossible to change most of these DIPs. Let's try anyway... At the very least, this effort should bring about a better understanding of ourselves, if your DIPs allow objective contemplation.
It's time to wipe the cobwebs... off some DIPs...The two primary mental DIP switches are difficult to change if they've spent years in one position.Dip-1 On = irrationality - reaction - recall - emotion, yes, emotion... DIP-1 decides emotion's influence over the function of this mind... There are MANY emotions to deal with... DIP-1 determines the prevalence and intensity of emotion. How many, how strong and how often are emotions in control of this mind? That's determined by DIP-1. DIP-1 is the "Emotion" DIP.Dip-2 On = rationality - reason - logic - intellect - thought, that's it... thought. DIP-2 determines the depth of thought. Not just any thought... rational thought. Irrational thought is a logic disturbance, like the wake of a ship in the ocean. Outside of mental illness, this is usually the result of emotion. DIP-2 determines the strength and depth of rational thought. Let's call this the "Intellect" DIP.Dip-1 is emotion Dip-2 is intellect10?That's not ten, it's one-zero.On and off are one and zero. Most people have DIP-1 On and DIP-2 Off. Expressed like this... 10. DIP-1 is a one because it's on, DIP-2 is a zero because it's off. Aint that fun? Computers work this way too, with long strings of ones and zeros. These are boolean variables... Google search time... George Boole is sooooo KooleDip-1 is emotion Dip-2 is intellectMost people are almost entirely ruled by emotion. Little rational thought gets through an open DIP-2. DIP-1 is a bitch by itself... Sufferers don't even know that they don't know that they don't think... DIP-1 alone, only allows emotion and recalled reactions (memorized) to circumstances and concepts. There is no contemplation. Once committed to memory, concepts are never again contemplated, never again examined, only recalled and applied to events throughout life. Philosophy, sociology and phychology all have this concept well explored. There are many names and many analogies to convey this abstract reality. All written by people who are a 11 or a 01. All written in an attempt to flip DIP-2 in the mind of their reader, to turn on the logical thought DIP switch.
Abstract reality is a construct intended to convey the mental process used to discern reality. Google search time... Abstract Reality is sooooo realAll emotion serves to manipulate, either self or others... Emotion is the result of mental activity, but is that activity "thought?" It's absoultely not conscious thought. Regardless of the rationality of the outcome of the emotional event,the emotion is irrational,it has no comtemplative aspect to it. How can emotion be thought? Fer sure, emotion is a very different kind of thought. Thinking is contemplation. There is zero contemplation involved in emotion. It's pure reaction. Ultimately, the mind controls emotion while emotion is the result of the mind's release of control. A chicken or egg issue. Control of your mind is thought. Loss of control is emotion. Emotion is strong if DIP-1 is on. Google search time... Seriously? Thousands of emotions?Light:Much of emotion is simply self serving... It's irrational justification of whatever will soothe the mind's immediate desire. Illogic demands truth in wild claims that openly contradict reality. Mutual exclusivity is a bitch to deny, unless DIP-1 controls the mind. Try this link... Wonderful World Of Wikipedia Happiness, joy, love and rational fear... are all light emotions.There are many more...
Dark:All other emotion is self defacing... Anger, misery, hate and irrational fear... are all dark emotions.There are many more...Light and Dark emotionshave DIP switches of their own. You can't deny it, most people are primarily one or the other, happy or sad, loving or hateful, etc... View this as DIPs... then flip those DIPs... There is an endless supply of DIP flipping methods to try...Young parents soon figure it out,their child is using emotions to manipulate them. Lucky kids have parents who don't pander to that manipulation. If the parents are skilled, the kid soon learns to work with people rather than constantly trying to manipulate others.01?Flip DIP-2 and see what happens, especially if you're a 10. Light and dark emotions have counterparts in rational thought. Contemplation reveals a degree of reality within many emotional reactions. In reverence of George Boole let's call these "True" emotions. With DIP-1 off, DIP-2's rational thought is able to do a far better job than simple emotion. A 01 can completely eliminate "Dark" emotion through pure intellectual contemplation. It's not easy, but soooo worth the effort.Not making cents?This is all gibberish, right?There is an important message, but it requires objectivity and contemplation. Focus will bring the message into focus... Elimate distraction in your mind and in your environment. Read each sentence carefully to discover more than just your impression of the words. Put the cumulation of the words into context,to discover the message they contain. Much of this may be new, it may not be represented by stored concepts. That's a good thing. It improves the likelihood of internal honesty, integrity of thought, untainted comprehension. Initial realization of this concept is eye opening, life altering. A wunnerfull new reality,THE reality...awaits...It's...Delightful11?What's best? A balance between rational and irrational? A 11 would agree to this. A 01 would deny it. A 10 would say "Huh?" Are you keeping up with the analogy? It's becoming a lot of ones and zeros... It's the basic types of people. There are no true 00 types because at least one is always active, DIP-1 or DIP-2, emotion or intellect.Dip-1 is emotion Dip-2 is intellectThose whose DIPs often switch...are deemed unstable...we medicate and institutionalize them...they entertain on street corners and anywhere polititians speak...What's the rationale of irrationality?There is none. It's a simple flip of DIP-1 to the On position with DIP-2 Off... that pesky reality is no more... as you store... emotional reactions to the conflicts in your mind surrounding obvious bits of reality... now... demand that your self-serving self-soothing irrational conclusions, represent reality... do I sound cynical? I'm a solid 01... I only observe reality, constantly... perpetual objective analysis above emotionally coerced conclusions.There are many more DIP switches in the mind, some represent concepts. A DIP switch that's on, replaces contemplation with a memorized concept. There is no evaluation. These are conclusions chosen. When conclusions are chosen it's never for intellectual purposes. Emotion controls chosen conclusions. They rarely represent reality. Intellect would refuse to choose.Intellect evaluates reality...
DIP-2 must be on for the Freudian triplet to be productive.
ID defined:"the part of the mind in which innate instinctive impulses and primary processes are manifest."Ego defined:"the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious and is responsible for reality testing and a sense of personal identity."Super Ego defined:"the part of a person's mind that acts as a self-critical conscience, reflecting social standards learned from parents and teachers."All nearly normally functioning minds, will have aspects of all three operating at all times... "ID?" Playground of emotion.... "Ego?" Stomping grounds for rational thought... "Super Ego?" That dingy place where looney conclusions are stored and never explored... Seeee??? In perspective, Freud isn't that far out in left field... least not in this one small area... but boy... he is seriously tooney loons in some places...How do people get to where they end up? It can be a short trip or a long trip. For most the trip is short. Society beats the reality of abstract reality, out of them while they're still quite young. How can this happen? The brainwashing of sheeple is a long proven technique.It's a subconscious event, skillfully performed without intent.Most people soon decide it's to their advantage to rely on emotionally guided chosen conclusions,rather than constantly evaluating the universe to discern reality. Is that life? Uh Oh!Is the subject of this essayfinally coming to light? Forcing manipulative chosen conclusions on everyone else, is a constant war of mutually exclusive manipulative chosen conclusions. Success is seldom complete. It relies upon compromise as your opponents force THEIR chosen conclusions... Little of it represents reality. Those rare events are normally challenged into unreal compromise for the benefit of the more forceful intellectually dishonest combatant.Near and far, large scale or small... we've just found the cause for MOST of the problems in all of human activity. This is life in a primarily "10" world. This mentality becomes confused and angry when confronted with more honest intent. "01" and "11" intellects will often refuse to compromise with demands to accept falacies born of conclusions chosen to serve another person's emotion. Chosen reality forced, is pure manipulation.This is condensed, not convoluted.I understand,you may have to work hard to keep up. This is contemplation of the "01" kind. Thunk it thru, it's worth it, we're trying to dust the cobwebs off a super-glued DIP!Are people simply the result of their environment? It would appear, least mostly so...Within pursuits of the mindthere are many concepts regularly explored. Two are ego and epiphany.They are largely related as the grand epiphany endows an apparently grand ego. A large ego is generally considered self-aggrandizement, and often it is, purely for dishonest self-affirmation. Psychologly loves to assign the concept of ego to individual failures. An apparently grand ego is sometimes another characteristic. Propriety can be incorrectly evaluated as ego run amuck, as well as many other properties of intellect. Evaluation of another person's intent can be a difficult thing, indeed! Dishonest intellecttakes advantage of this difficulty.An early ephiphany strikes some minds,resulting in a different road traveled. Others manage without a sudden awakening. Can we agree to call these people "01?" Are they fortunate? They avoided the unpredictable mentality of "10." How about "11?" Are they more or less fortunate? Emotion tempered by intellect is certainly a benefit, but is it better than emotion managed by intellect?Glue them DIPs!The only time that emotional manipulation is recognized by a "10" is when uncontrolled emotion becomes extreme even within the context of the emotion driven "10" majority. Emotionally controlled minds can see impulsive outbursts, sudden acts of violence, self destructive behavior and more... as being the result of emotional disturbances. The same minds cannot see belief in imaginary friends as an emotional imposition.
There are hundreds of commonly shared falacies which are nearly impossible to overcome. Each with a DIP switch glued in position by social brainwashing begun at birth. They are absolutely sacrosanct. They are conditioned for silent obedience without recognition of the fact that a "10" mind refuses to re-evaluate. Confronted with realities which clearly contradict their brainwashed conclusions, there is either anger or open denial in avoidance of the reality which proves the stored concept to be incorrect. All written to inspire thought.
It's a hard push,getting through an unset DIP-2, when DIP-1 sets the rulz....
