Science behind vocal amplitude and its link with motivation May 25, 2008

Vocal amplitude (wether ones voice is raised or lowered) whilst speaking or singing has amazing effects on humans physiologically; and we don’t meditate on this truth often enough - although it seems so simple. How do battle cries help win battles; and why do we feel the need to yell when we are angry? The simple science is that it is the perfect precursor to physical action - If our mental state is excited our hearts beat faster and this makes more of the available oxygen in our blood get to our heart faster in order to physically act. But if we add the act of raising ones voice for any length of time, we do something really important; we mechanically force more oxygen into our lungs, which(with a faster heartbeat) pre primes our brain with oxygen, making us more alert, and pre primes our muscles with oxygen and enable us to act faster and stronger, making the physical state change needed to perform an action actually smaller thereby inducing motivation. The effects of this are huge, which explains that if we are to go into battle, we should always battle cry first, but not only physical battles, mental battles also.

Motivation: it’s not just psycological.

Motivation is considered the amount of magical mental will power needed to complete a physical action, but it is more than psycological; motivation is the returned value of the mental algorithm summing up the physical energy expenditure, time, sacrifice of comfort, and possible gains of acting. Motivation can only be manipulated mentally by manipulating the value perceived in each argument (energy, time, sacrifice, gain, etc.), but it is easy to drastically reduce the value of some of these arguments (eg sacrifice of comfort) by the effects of raising ones voice.

Inducing motivation by forcing a heightened state of being

The good thing about raising ones voice is that it forces a heightened state of being with negligible prior motivation and reason; sometimes one possesses less motivation than needed for a particular task so using the device as a motivational tool does have profound effects, some examples are:

• Singing whilst working to force motivation to work harder.
• Singing whilst playing an instrument to force motivation to play better.

There are many ways. 

Social effects of raised voices

Raising ones voice is the perfect way to prime ones body and mind in many situations, but the effects can’t be isolated in a social setting, but effecting others has to do with confidence, leadership, and other matters best left for their own article.

How we will become slaves. May 12, 2008

1. There is an force on society, which is sufficiently intelligent, and powerful enough to influence us to leave our morals behind, this is allowed so that:
2. there will be chaos, and in the midst of chaos there will be a new world order come to bring peace, but:
3. for this peace we will be forced to give everything.

• Law and justice is not always perfect, and yes it is terrible when innocent people suffer because justice fails, but if justice is not DEFINED, QUICK, POWERFUL TO POINT OF DEATH, AND TRUSTED, our whole society will pay a price, a very high price:
• Before we discuss this in detail we should have a look at what is happening in our society:
  • What is jail meant to be? Less trust, higher walls, more surveillance, more security personnel, less personal liberty.
  • What is society meant to be? More trust, less walls, less surveillance,  less security personnel, more personal liberty, less crime!
  • What is happening to Jail? More trust, lower walls, less surveillance, less security.
  • What is happening in our society? Instead of criminals being punished for what they do, we are all being punished. Instead of prisons put into society, our society is being put into prison. We are forced to lock ourselves in our own homes  while criminals roam the street free and put fear into our lives, not only that; we are the ones that shoulder the burden of being subject to extra security checks and protocols everywhere we go, being trusted less,  paying more for consumables because of crime, and we are the ones being treated like numbers, being forced to invasions of privacy and screening.
• There was a time when the world had justice and liberty, since then our justice has drastically changed, it is barely recognizable, and now is anyone afraid to commit crime?
• There are two types of control, self control, and external control, Instead of self control, humans are controlled externally, Instead of managing crime now, the beast has decided to manage us by taking our liberties one by one, not so that we don’t want to commit crime, but so that we can’t even if we want to. How far will the loss of our freedoms go? When will it stop? When there is perfect peace and no crime? How many rights and freedoms do we have to lose before it’s all lost? They say it’s for our good, but how many more terrorist attacks or domestic crimes will it take for us to submit our freedoms to the beast? Will the beast not demand ALL OF OUR LIBERTIES for peace?
• Once we give all our liberties over in return for peace we have essentially given our minds and bodies over to the beast, this is the actual definition of worship.
• Of course we won’t go to worshipping the beast right away, full control will happen slowly, one step at a time, like slow boiling a frog, we won’t notice the heat rising, being locked down unable to move.
• Becoming a police state is not the biggest thing we should be worrying about, a police state is free compared to what is coming because police can’t be everywhere at once, what is scarier is the omnipresent surveillance and omnipotent control methods being invented now that will be ready for the time we are under full control.
• This full control is all in the name of peace, but how peaceful is being under full control?
• There is only one hope; that doesn’t involve an Orwellian style locking down of all citizens, the only hope that we can have peace with any civil liberty remaining, is for all citizens to have fear within them, a FEAR of punishment and repercussion.  A common, fair and equal code of this fear known to all citizens is known as MORALITY.
• Morality is mostly taught, by example and punishment for acting immorally.
• A revival of morality is our ONLY HOPE, and one of the only tools of inducing this morality is JUSTICE, but presently justice is becoming more impotent.
• The type of justice which is most effective is called corporal punishment (the word comes from latin corpus, which means the body), it is where physical pain is bestowed upon offenders, it is the cheapest, most effective form of punishment known to man, yet we attempt to use less effective methods, methods which give justice little power.
• Morality and justice is lacking because justice has become impotent for these reasons:
  • Courts are too afraid of repercussions when judgements are wrong.
  • The cost of policing, justice, and jails, is seen as too expensive.
  • Corruption may be involved.
  • The immorality system actually preserves its self by means of:
    •  Actually turning the tables and outlawing free-speech against immoral practices
    • Injustice and immorality are a cycle, ie: justice in the hands of immoral people will become injustice, and injustice, enables immoral people to thrive, and moral people to be overtaken.
    • People are afraid of what happens if an innocent person is punished. Criminals are seen as too precious, fragile and important to society.
  • There is an force on society, which is sufficiently intelligent, and powerful enough to influence us to leave our morals behind, this is allowed so that there will be chaos, and in the midst of chaos there will be a new world order come to bring peace, but for this peace we will lose everything.
• Capitalism is the strongest force in our society, and the highest ordered entity is the corporation.
• Corporations are the highest ordered entities in society, yet corporations are not required to have moral conscience, to survive in society, moral conscience is the first thing to be shed.
• It is becoming imperative that citizens in society, to survive, must either work for a corporation, or go into business in direct competition with corporations, if corporations are required to have no moral conscience, then for a citizen to either join, or competing against a corporation successfully, morality and conscience must be shed by the citizen also.
• We are living in a world which is mathematically against morality, justice, and conscience, yet has an imperative for peace, the only thing that remains is external control over humans, this is how we will all become slaves.

Business and fairness May 9, 2008

Business? It’s a necessary evil. We’re forced to succeed at business like one is forced to breathe at birth with a slap.It’s not ideal in this world but what are the alternatives?We can only hope to be fair.

Microcosmic Autojustification

Microcosmic autojustification is where people feel that if they can’t affect the greater world, they can re-adjust morality to let them survive comfortably in their microcosm.

Extremism and Balance

Balanced decisions,  extreme execution.
