The many people inside your brain?
    #14541667 - 05/31/11 04:57 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Inspired by OCs post and this great interview I heard on NPR Open Air today. http://www.npr.org/programs/fresh-air/

I think you will really enjoy listening to the interview.

OK do you think there is an I or a legion  of personalities vying for dominance in the brain?

Republican Values:

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend
The brightest heaven of invention,
A kingdom for a stage, princes to act
And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!
Then should the warlike Harry, like himself,
Assume the port of Mars; and at his heels,
Leash'd in like hounds, should famine, sword and fire
Crouch for employment. But pardon, and gentles all,
The flat unraised spirits that have dared
On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth
So great an object: can this cockpit hold
The vasty fields of France? or may we cram
Within this wooden O the very casques
That did affright the air at Agincourt?
O, pardon! since a crooked figure may
Attest in little place a million;
And let us, ciphers to this great accompt,
On your imaginary forces work.
Suppose within the girdle of these walls
Are now confined two mighty monarchies,
Whose high upreared and abutting fronts
The perilous narrow ocean parts asunder:
Piece out our imperfections with your thoughts;
Into a thousand parts divide on man,
And make imaginary puissance;
Think when we talk of horses, that you see them
Printing their proud hoofs i' the receiving earth;
For 'tis your thoughts that now must deck our kings,
Carry them here and there; jumping o'er times,
Turning the accomplishment of many years
Into an hour-glass: for the which supply,
Admit me Chorus to this history;
Who prologue-like your humble patience pray,
Gently to hear, kindly to judge, our play.

Of course there are. Does anyone believe murderous OJ was the same sub-persona as jovial, amiable OJ?

Does that mean both murderous and jovial OJ also had their own infinite number of sub-personalities?

I agree that a personality or persons mind is a general combination of different states of mind a person is in according to their feelings, thoughts and environment.  The reason people "are the way they are" is because they are normally in predictable states of mind according to their predictable feelings and thoughts in those environments.

It seems there is a competition between these selves that inhabit different areas of the brain. They all have strong ideas (just like in politics) of what is the right way for the self to proceed.  That is why we often feel so divided on what we are doing or should do.  It's kinda cool in a way. Like they say, you're never alone. :laugh:

Isn't the "west" a representation of reality?

Well duh. It doesn't really "represent" anything though. There is no west, just the direction we call west. Like right and left.
