- Comment on How can people know what they want at a given moment? 2 weeks ago:
It’s not specific or precise. You cast a wide net to meet needs based on what your brain thinks you need and where you can get it. The part of your brain that says I’m thirsty might not work well but some other part convinces you to drink anyway, otherwise you wouldn’t be alive. Your nutrient needs can get met by a variety of sources. Maybe your system adapts well to just the basics. If it gets x proteins and y carbs, it’s happy. The part of a brain that develops cravings in other people hasn’t needed to develop in you. Or maybe stomachs needs a certain nutrient that yours produces naturally while others have to seek it out.

Evolution explains it. Hunger = need food. As we evolved, our needs got more complex and it’s no longer trivial to identify specific needs from behaviors. If you crave KFC, maybe your system needs sodium, protein, and 11 other herbs and spices. Boston Legal is a popular show because it makes many people’s brains produce some of the neurotransmitters they need at the moment. If you fall in love, your brain might think the person would maximize opportunities for reproducing over time. Different humans will fall in love for different reasons as their body attempts to satisfy different combinations of needs.

- Comment on If a God or God's is so Omnipotent why do they or them or he or she, supposedly get angry, show support, enjoy things, have sex (in Greek Gods), or show forgiveness? Are the not all human emotes? 2 months ago:
In the Star Trek universe, there is an episode in which the ship travels to primitive world (Mintaka III) and the crew accidentally reveal themselves to the humanoid people there who are similar to bronze-era humans. The Mintakins think the captain of the ship (Picard) is a God because he obviously has powers they cannot comprehend. He rejects their beliefs that he is a supreme being and in the most beautiful ending possible, they listen to logic and believe him. But the climax in the story hinges around whether or not Picard can prove to these people he is not a god before he and the crew have to leave, leaving the peoples’ imaginations to run wild with what “God wants” from them. They almost murder someone, believing Picard is angry at them for something the person did.
The point of the story is to provide a scientifically feasible explanation for humanity’s belief in gods as essentially aliens who visited long ago and were unable to prevent humans from letting their imaginations run wild with tales of what the gods do, how powerful they are, and what they want from the people on earth. Over the course of thousands of years, there is no limit to how our imaginations can bend such an experience, twisting it into the culture of the time of the visit and adjusting over time to fit more and more into the development and history of societies.
But it doesn’t take a visit from aliens to start a religion. We have all seen things we can’t explain. Schizophrenia exists. Con artists manipulate reality to steal from people. Psychedelics exist naturally. Once-in-a-generation storms cause mass destruction. There are so many possible explanations for gods other than omniscient, all-powerful beings.

If you look at the bottom you’ll notice the watch has correctly identified you as operating in beta mode. You should practice mindfulness to be more aware of what’s going on around you e.g. your watch’s settings.
