Has anybody heard The World Today? On 9825 at 0200 they had a report on

(snip my long post)

I've tried to come up with a reason with the strange behavior not only for
the terrorists but for crimes commited in our societies lately. I thought
about environmental polutants or the many microwaves flying thru the air has
had some affect on the human brain itself altering it's normal thinking
process.

Then I thought it might be that mans brain has reached an evolutionary
process where it can no longer "cope" with the data of it's own existance.
Religion, politics, war, death, the internet, pornography, our search for
pleasure, greed, all have jaded and desensitized us in all apsects of life.

Existence now is not what it was just 30 years ago. It seems our brains
can't solve our new problems or deal with them. People are literally "going
insane"


Are you saying that the development of man's technology has outpaced the
development of man's brain to the point that a brain hardwired for a
much simpler, cruder world can't deal with the exponentially increasing
complexities of the modern world? If so, then I'd have to tentatively
agree with you. It would seem to be a function of chaos theory, where a
system that keeps increasing in complexity eventually falls apart from
the centrifugal force of its own uncontrolled expansion. Our brains
developed in a hunter gatherer world, and for 99% of modern Homo Homo
Sapiens's existence, that has been the prevailing norm. Even after the
introduction of agriculture, life was pretty simple and straightforward.
Even 70 years ago like was unhurried and simple, just ask any WW2 vet.
Today we have to "multitask" and be on call 24-7. We're continually
being bombarded with urgent tasks through cell phones and the internet.
Most people feel rushed, can't get enough sleep, and have to work
increasingly harder just to see themselves fall further behind. It seems
that the stress factor of modern life has stretched our brains to the
breaking point and beyond. People work 20 years without any vacations
and sleeping 4 hours a night only to snap and end up locked in a rubber
room for the rest of their lives. It seems that increasing numbers of
people all over the world are snapping under the strain. It is an
article of faith that the human mind is an elastic container that can be
stretched indefinitely, when that is just not the case. Like everything
else, it reaches a point where the strain is too much and it breaks.
Eventually, all of civilization will reach a point where the strain
becomes too much. The Muslim world has already reached that point. With
no way out of their dilemma, the only option left is suicide.
