crystallized intelligence?
I'm on a plane right now. something feels strange. i don't know if its coming from internal or external elements. i wonder what may happen if i die. Ill die faithless. not faithless, i have faith. optimism relies on positive faith. however i am a pessimistic optimist. a skeptical spectator who roots for goodness but it weary of the roots of evil. jaded? perhaps, but effected positively because of it. Perhaps its not a matter of being jaded, but a lack of ignorance. wisdom? not to toot my own horn here, but they say I'm wise. and I'm wise enough to not trust what they say..but its a possibility. and who is they anyway? like in general when people say "they", who is that? the collective majority of a group of people that are never objective and mostly ill informed? or they as in the experts of whatever is relevant to what your saying, like scientist, researchers, scholars and really smart people who are known for being really smart people? despite that tangent, time magazine lays out the increasing and decreasing differences of a brains lifespan. at the age of 40-50ish people have more loose nerve endings that allow for interconnectivity of neurons between parts of the brain that were formerly utilized for specific functions, subsequently allowing the brain to literally make connections. "they" call it crystallized intelligence. more popularly known as WISDOM. and it happens later in life when you reconsider the crappy shit you've done, suffered consequences and then make judgements that seem obvious. fuck, if i would've known then what i know now. anyway, maybe my body is aging faster than everyone elses. or maybe the brains lifespan is relevant to each person- it cannot be generalized as the same aging process. and aging of the brain does not see time as we know it (strange because we only know what our brains know...our brains are smarter than they allow us to know?- conscious vs subconscious), but rather as experiences internally and externally. how far one allows their own mind to wonder. it wouldn't explain alzheimer or natural born geniuses. or would it? as a skeptical spectator, i do not believe that continuum that time magazine published is a solid definite timeline. its just a science theory. an undisputed observation. like the neoclassical theory applied to behavioral science that is largely (if not, wholly) to blame for our economic downfall. they used old theories (hence classical) and applied it to current day (hence neo) to formalize a science behind our economics relying on mechanical equilibrium (newton) to serve as the explanation behind supply and demand. what it failed to consider was qualitative changes within our environment such as social or natural progression or digressions. didn't kant teach us anything about cultural relativism? i read this article published in adbuster ( the journal of the mental environment) titled the slow food revolt by horacio velasco (environmental policy researcher and advocate). jist of article: economy should have not been treated as a machine; but as a changing life, as it is run by humans. it feeds off humans, but is larger than humans due to the various factors beyond our human control that affect it, like the environment. (wisdom: duh). basically humans have to realize biological realities beyond our own lives (such selfish mother fuckers, us humans). i bring this all up because i want to quote something he said almost satirically, because now as wisdom seeps into our little brain, it seems so obvious to us, "if only each moment- in spite of the indifference of classical mechanics to time- brings the living organism closer to its eventual demise." like my brain... it may be further along the brain spectrum based off the many moments I've lived, oppose to the years I've lived. I've experienced a lot of shit (shit as a neutral word without the negative [piece of shit] or positive [the shit/the shit blogger] connotation), but i also haven't experienced a lot of shit. so i don't know. i don't know. but i do know that i don't know (aristotle by avalls)... and that is wisdom. but maybe not? this is just an opinion. and if i were some sort of philosopher scientist i could find some previous theory that is based off another theory, to back me up and call it a theory. the you don't know jack shit about jack shit theory.
