//////////////////BRWSR...... You have a sense there is boundary between you and all the other atoms pulsating nearby, a sense of being a separate entity and not just a bag of organs and cells and molecules scooped out of the sea 530 million years ago. That sense of self cascades into a variety of other notions about your body and your mind called volition – the feeling of free will that provides you with the belief that you are in control of your decisions and choices. Volition makes you feel responsible for your actions both before and after they occur. There are a few thousand years of debate over what this actually means and whether or not it is an illusion through and through, but Baumeister’s research over the last decade or so has been about learning how that sense of self-control can be manipulated.

"But then came the price tag. When the experimental subject was exposed to the cost of the product, the insula and prefrontal cortex were activated. The insula produces aversive feelings and is triggered by things like nicotine withdrawal and pictures of people in pain. In general, we try to avoid anything that makes our insulas excited. This includes spending money. The prefrontal cortex was activated, scientists speculated, because this rational area was computing the numbers, trying to figure out if the product was actually a good deal. The prefrontal cortex got most excited during the experiment when the cost of the item on display was significantly lower than normal.

///////////////.....philosopher David Benatar comes to some even more surprising conclusions based on how we think of pleasure and pain. Every life is a mixture of both, to be sure, but Benatar concludes that the world is worse off when needless suffering is brought into it. So what about those people who are happy to have been born despite the pain they undoubtedly suffer from time to time? They are fooling themselves, says Benatar, because their genes come from a long lineage of people who thought procreating was a good idea. Though one might rightly wonder why Benatar continues to shoulder his own burdensome life.,,,,BG THNK

avid Benatar, a professor at the University of Cape Town, also turns to philosophy to determine the ideal family size. He gives away his answer in the title of his book, “Better Never to Have Been: The Harm of Coming Into Existence” (Oxford). The volume is dedicated to his parents, “even though they brought me into existence,” and to his brothers, “each of whose existence, although a harm to him, is a great benefit to the rest of us.” (It’s fun to imagine what family reunions with the Benatars are like.)
//////////////////...........that a life filled with good and containing only the most minute quantity of bad—a life of utter bliss adulterated only by the pain of a single pin-prick—is worse than no life at all,” Benatar writes.

Never to have been born is best,
But once you’ve entered this world,
Return as quickly as possible to the place you came from.
//////////////////...........old Jewish saying: “Life is so terrible, it would have been better not to have been born. Who is so lucky? Not one in a hundred thousand.”
///////////////............Whatever you may think of Overall’s and Benatar’s conclusions, it’s hard to argue with their insistence that the decision to have a child is an ethical one. When we set the size of our families, we are, each in our own small way, determining how the world of the future will look. And we’re doing this not just for ourselves and our own children; we’re doing it for everyone else’s children, too. ♦

"It is only because all elementary particles interact with this field that they have the mass we observe today," says cosmologist Lawrence Krauss. And thanks to quantum mechanics, says Krauss, we can understand how our entire Universe was created from nothing. big think
///////////////////.......If gravity is also governed by quantum mechanics, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle implies that entire Universes might appear and disappear in what is otherwise entirely empty space. In other words, we may need to reevaluate what we understand to be 'something' and 'nothing'. And so the famous question, 'Why is there something rather than nothing?' is revolutionized. "Asking why we live in a universe of something rather than nothing may be no more meaningful than asking why some flowers are red and others blue," says Krauss, who prefers an impossibly complex universe to hiding behind fairy tales that justify our existence.
///////////////////////L M KRAUSSE-Imagining living in a universe without purpose may prepare us to better face reality head on. I cannot see that this is such a bad thing. Living in a strange and remarkable universe that is the way it is, independent of our desires and hopes, is far more satisfying for me than living in a fairy-tale universe invented to justify our existence.

///////////////////////Logotherapy is founded upon the belief that it is the striving to find a meaning in one's life that is the primary, most powerful motivating and driving force in humans.
//////////////////////WIKIPEDIA....The following list of tenets represents basic principles of logotherapy:
Life has meaning under all circumstances, even the most miserable ones.
Our main motivation for living is our will to find meaning in life.
We have freedom to find meaning in what we do, and what we experience, or at least in the stand we take when faced with a situation of unchangeable suffering.[4]

///////////five crucial aspects of wise reasoning: "Willingness to seek opportunities to resolve conflict; willingness to search for compromise; recognition of the limits of personal knowledge; awareness that more than one perspective on a problem can exist; and appreciation of the fact that things may get worse before they get better."
////////////"Awareness of one’s mortality focuses the mind to create and produce to avoid the terror that comes from confronting the mortality paradox."
/////////////.....BIG THINK...
////////////.......Evolutionary biologists say there may be a greater motivating force behind our actions: Sex. Rather than avoid death directly, we create works of art and science to attract mating partners.
//////////////......"A brain scan may reveal the neural signs of anxiety, but...a Schiele self-portrait, reveals what an anxiety state really feels like," said Kandel. "Both perspectives are necessary if we are to fully grasp the nature of the mind, yet they are rarely brought together."
//////////////CONSC....First came simple reactions to our environment, the way a plant may respond to the sun, followed by the development of a central nervous system, allowing us to localize sensations in the body. Then, humans conceived of time as something more stable than it actually is, creating past and future from infinitesimal present moments.
.......After creating a stable past and future, a quick extension of the concepts would lead anyone to recognize the inevitability of their own death, and the death of all future generations, etc. Humphrey does not consider this realization to be a terribly helpful adaptation. But for him, consciousness has the ability to escape itself through beauty and enjoyment. Artistic endeavors like poetry and film-making reach beyond the limits of an organic human life, giving us a sense of immortality and encouraging ourselves not to give up so that our genes might be passed on to future generations...

///////////.....BROWSER,,,,Every creative journey begins with a problem. It starts with a feeling of frustration, the dull ache of not being able to find the answer. When we tell one another stories about creativity, we tend to leave out this phase of the creative process.
.........It's often only at this point, after we've stopped searching for the answer, that the answer arrives. All of a sudden, the answer to the problem that seemed so daunting becomes incredibly obvious.
This is the clichéd moment of insight that people know so well from stories of Archimedes in the bathtub and Isaac Newton under the apple tree.
//////////////INSIGHT FROM RT HEMP OF BRAIN.....although it seemed that the insight answer appeared out of nowhere, the brain had been laying the groundwork for the breakthrough. The process began with an intense mental search as the left hemisphere started looking for answers in all the obvious places.

//////////////......Psychologists say that relentlessly seeking happiness is a recipe for loneliness and dissatisfaction.
//////////////.....to seek and accept a healthy balance between happy and unhappy feelings, perhaps experiencing three positive emotions for every one negative emotion.
/////////////......High levels of positive feelings predict risk-taking behaviors, excess alcohol and drug consumption, binge eating, and may lead us to neglect threats," said June Gruber, a professor of psychology at Yale University.
/////////////MELANCHOLY AS AN AESTHETIC EMOTION- BRADY, HAPAALA
/////////////MELANCHOLY IS NOT DEPRESSION
/////////////......Melancholy is an emotion often occasioned by people or places; we feel melancholic about a lover or friend, or a meaningful place in our lives, perhaps somewhere we have once lived.
/////////////MELANCHOLY INVOLVES REFLECTION
/////////////.....often indirectly experienced through memories, thoughts or imaginings related to an absent object
//////////////...significance of memories is in their role as a narrative for melancholy.
/////////////......MELANCHOLY WITHOUT OBJECT....desolate moor or the vast ocean, where solitude and a contemplative state of mind bring on a melancholic mood that appears to have no object.
/////////////......Solitude also facilitates the imaginative reflection involved in melancholy
//////////////.....Melancholy is always a complex emotion rather than a simple one.
/////////////////.......With melancholy, the displeasurable or negative aspects lie in feelings of loneliness, emptiness, sadness from loss, and the fear or dread that sometimes accompanies longing.
