Random thought: Extreme situations
March 21st, 2009 — Philosophy
One of the more deadly things you can do is to act normally in an extreme situation.
This goes for extreme weather situations, being taken hostage, living on a planet that may be dying, etc. etc. Basically I believe panic will make you react in a predefined way, while keeping your cool will make you react according to the situation. A few times panic might save you (running from a violent person instead of trying to talk sense to them) while in most cases not panicing will probably get the best result.
Interesting thought: aren’t we presented with “extreme” situations now and then, and once we’ve managed through them, they’re not extreme anymore. Take for instance, first day at school, first love, first day as a parent, first day of retirement, or being a victim of a crime, being in a car accident, or other accident, being falsely accused, getting fired and being unemployed, etc. etc, there are a buss load of extreme situations out there.
So, the thing is to keep from getting pissed at your boss for firing you, and trying to get a good letter of recommendation out of it (after all, who say’s you’re getting kicked cause your boss dislikes you?) Or to stop being a kid yourself once your little ones are on their way, or to get out of that car wreck, and try to get everyone else in it along, before something worse than a roll and a spin happens.
So, it’s all about controlling panic then… or? Hmmm…

Humans
March 14th, 2009 — Philosophy, Politics
Humans are in fact not that different to other species. We make a little bit more complex sounds and our territorial behavior is a bit more involved, but to say we’re the crown of creation is rather self involved. The most that can be said about mankind’s standing in the family of species is that we’re the black sheep, or the obnoxious kid sibling everybody has to put up with, or mom and pop will give them a hairy eyeball.

Do you recall an exercise you might have done to improve your fitness – perhaps at school or as part of a sports team – where you have to run up and down a 50m track, reaching each end before a buzzer goes off? And with every few lengths, as you get more and more tired, the buzzes get closer and closer together, forcing you to run faster and faster?
