There are allways crazy paranoid types who can magically make the world fall into place and make sense, they find special roadways so they they can drive their crazy mental-hummers. today, somewhere in england they can buy actual "dirt" to make their hummers look really road-worn. the mental hummer makes them come. somebody else has built the roads, that is why they are able to enjoy the ride. that enjoyment (saratonin specifically) is ALL THAT MATTERS to their hungry reptilian brain. when a person chooses to play soccor, they choose not to use their feet, why? this is so disadvantaged, why not play with your hands too? why should so-called "3rd-world catagory" counties enjoy playing in this disadvanged manner with the rest of the world, is it as enjoyable as basketball or cricket? What can be said about the player who has injured his feet and cannot play soccor ever again for the rest of his life? Must he go insane or will he decide to play with his hands instead? There are rules, logos, and roadways to follow, some of these roadways are enjoyable. Look at David Icke, icky like a snake, a snake w/o feet who cannot play soccor again, poor snake. David has written over 54 books, some of them are completely crazy, some tell "true stories" about sumerian reptilian priests who submit to the monster in the sky, drago, the constellation of the mind. David writes books and makes movies about george bush and his reptilian friends who rule the world via their home planet in far away galaxy of drago, this roadway is enjoyable, ha-ha. And it really is a constellation of thhe mind, specificaly the amygdala, feeding off of fear like a crocodille (dont get me wrong ms.croc has other brains too) As the brain developes, layer by layer like an onion, the inner region is considered the "lower-brain-functions", in 1970 Paul MacLean dubbed it the "Reptilian Complex" (sure, but not fair to ms.croc who loves her babies too) (when we develop from the womb we pass through the entire evolutionary phase of all the other animals, just like the hopi said!) Anyway, this lower-brain works together with the other semi-higher-brain-functions (limbic system), which Paul has also dubbed "Mammilian Brain" and finally the outer cortex, neo-cortex is the most evolutionarily advanced and smartiest "Primate Brain", sure ok Paul likes his christian animal catagories, but the poetics of the metaphor actually go somewhere... I want to focus on just the Reptilian complex (I am only telling you these strange facts because I hope you are as drunk as me and as drunk as the person who told them to me, you must drink tonite!) The reptilian brain, that constellation, does not exist, like i said, it is imaginary, not based on real things from the world, but stars and planets (do you know what those are? I dont) So if the icky priest from ancient sumeria begins telling us about the reptilian monster that will consume our flock we will have fear, our amygdala works perfectly fine, it always did even 10,000 years ago, even for Ms.Croc, it is the same amygdala. But the amygdala is part of a constellation, the whole Limbic System which is now eating the flock. Now that is strange! Should i continue....? Why is one part of our brain eating another part? "Is it true", or "is it merely what they say?" Well, isn't it just a crazy story, a meme, a mental complex that a good jungian might see? (I think most junians are "stuck on the toll-roads with dirty hummers", poor suckers!) What is the point of tds complex? Why have it? Well, now here it is connected to the money-market-complex which co-evolved with the language-complex AND.... and also the state-complex.... just like the stars, all constellations which show us imaginary things. many of these things are ABSOLUTELY enjoyable, er um, specifically b/c of saratonin. So smoke up and get your saratonin from someplace other than ancient sumerian hang-up. And fuck "joy riding", the mere pleasure of controlling a machine overides all sanity. here is a brief (and sane) article that shows you that Advertising Companies use branding to target the "reptilian-mind" - personally I think its SICK (especially the bit at the end, but some people... (or are they actually reptiles themselves, heh-heh) ...think its just dandy to make a buck this way: http://www.sijournal.com/commentary/2044977.html ----------------------------------------- "[T]he human brain has three parts: the reptilian brain, the limbic brain and the cortex brain, in descending marketing importance and effectiveness [...] Reptilian "hot buttons" are very powerful. If you are competing against a company communicating at the reptilian level, you don't have a chance if all your communications are focused on the cortex brain."-pettis if you study anthropology this might ring a bell, remember the lesson about how "more advanced" cultures generally REPLACE "more primitive" cultures well, for me at least, this also explains a bit about CIA discoteque-style war techniques) my other fav quote: "As humans, all our perceptions enter our brain through our senses. The first place these perceptions go is to the amygdala, near the center of the brain. The amygdala's job is to assess every sense and perception for its emotional relevance to "me" and then pass the "verdict" to the cortex brain. The cortex brain then comes up with an "intellectual alibi" to justify the unconscious decision made in the amygdala and other unconscious parts of the brain." -pettis --------------------------------------- about the submission process and Rita's endevours... might I suggest the "nomination" process for choosing articles? _______________________________________________ List address: deleuze-guattari-AT-driftline.org Info: http://lists.driftline.org/listinfo.cgi/deleuze-guattari-driftline.org Archives: www.driftline.org
