Neurons & the Earth's Magnetic Field

I believe that the two are in a constant state of communication. I will not elaborate, because doing so would mean making you more intelligent than you currently are; and I'd radther not take any chances of making you as smart as I am.

I've heard conjecture that when you die, your 'soul', returns to the earth's magnetic field to be recycled.

Most fantastic claims starting with these two words are false... statistically.

 

There are more potential connections between the neurons in a human brain than there are atoms in the known universe.

 

Just cain't stand it a minute longer ...what language do they communicate in??

True navigation is when an animal returns to a place without using landmarks (cues) from the destination and the outward journey (Boles and Lohmann, 2003). You may wonder how that’s possible considering how the use of such information is a typical way of navigating. Just think of how you find your way to the grocery store. You probably rely on many visual landmarks, such as passing a church, a gas station or a school. If you’ve traveled the route many times, you may even be able to do it blindfolded by using non-visual landmarks, such as odor, sound and proprioception (e.g.: feeling your body move forward a given distance and knowing when to turn). Studies have shown that in addition to using those types of landmarks, some animals use the earth’s magnetic field to navigate. In other words, some animals have an internal compass that enables them to sense direction. This ability has also been likened to a global positioning system (GPS).

I'm not going to go into detail, because doing so may not be in your best interest. I am well aware, even though you may not, that thinking complexly for some has it's cons. But simply, if fish can do it, why in the fuck can't we to some extent. Even for things other than direction; like recollection.

Ooooh damn. I'm on fire. I made a rhyme.

 

So its a symbolic language then?

 

In many primitive tribes that have been studied, the men could find their way to exact, precise spots that they'd visited or hunted years previously ..with no compass or anything other than a memory of old landmarks and, possibly, some "hidden" something that only they knew (and might not even been able to explain).

Even today, in the frozen wilds of the north, the Innuit hunters are said to have innate homing instincts that rely on ....something?! And if you've ever seen what it's like up there, it ain't nothin' but white in every direction and there ain't no landmarks, either.

It closely resembles CSS; the positioning of memories, but on a five dimensional plane.

 

There are always subtle environmental cues...direction and angle of sun, shadows on ground, wind direction, and of course the human brain (hippocampus) is capable of complex mapping.

 

There's a really good book by a guy called Tim Ingold 'The Perception of the Environment' - he deals with the idea of landscape and environments as part of a relational field in which humans are a nexus.

 

the nexus, everything is interconnected for good or ill. When you pull on one end of the fabric, it effects the entire fabric. the actions of one effect and in effect allowed by the collective, nothing is coincidental or accidental. the criminal in death row was created by the nexus of human barbarity and the hiring of a virtual hitman to carry out what society secretly wishes to employ, rape, murder etc--disgusting. hehe, fuked up.

 

Wow, this place has really degenerated.

 

i wonder if you say that because its a provocative topic and above your head or because its not the same old, safe conventional one?? lol.

Jesus James, always spoilng my fun. I would tell you to go and eat your goddamn upples and bunnonoes, but frankly; you scare me.
