Science in our lives

Tech shall set us free!

Fri, 31 Dec 2010 04:32:45 -0500

My earnest optimism lies in the evolution of our technology to eliminate the stupidity of men & women trying to control their fellow men & women through the preponderance of laws and other constructs. Further progress gives all of us options. Sometimes these options add complexity of choice but it’s better to have that, then a dead end one way street.

It certainly feels like mating disruption is a part of a power struggle where our natures are subverted to benefit the select few at the expense of the greater many. In some ways the double constraints of nature and the nature of society may perhaps elicit a quicker release from both, by amplifying our drive to subvert them in drive for individual freedom.

Perhaps pushing our genes through chips* will give us further insight into how to accommodate each of our needs to maximize our potential. Happyness seems as elusive as insight and knowledge, once you have some you realize much more is yet further away. Maybe the journey is really its’ own reward, but as we evolve our trip does become more and more interesting.

In some way every little grain of thought, that inspires us and makes our minds more inquisitive helps our imagination create a little drop of happiness.

Controlling technology with copyrights or patents as the geyser of innovation pumps out effervescent waters of progress is not possible. They are like sticks thrown to shift the movement of a body of water which simply curves around and finds a better way.

Walk boldly with confidence that no statist government planner or a rent seeking banker may achieve a full monopoly over the discretion of your thought and freedom of action.

No amount of law, posturing, social programs, UN globalistic endeavors, or even a global currency, will ever achieve control over the future. It always belongs to those willing to think, question, innovate, sometimes humming a tune just a little different then everyone else is enough to push the orbit of the chaos theoretical sands into a pattern of random creative destruction. Universe rewards all those thoughts no matter how small or insignificant they may be, push your mind, let it breathe the theoretical sands of chaos, imagine the creative destruction, exhale randomness.

Serfdom Feminism and the Present Parts 3 and 2

Sat, 25 Dec 2010 11:36:00 -0500

December 25^th, 2010 by Lushfun

Serfdom Feminism and the Present Final Part3.

Will give my best to sum up main points here. (to see other parts: part1, part2)

The dynamic of majority and plurality comes into conflict when the will of a group is forceful enough to inflict the tyranny of the majority on the rest of us. In the past it was primarily through arms and government enforcement, this time it is no different, the only thing that changes is the amount of mental public relations that gets pushed through society to butter us up before we are bent over to willingly submit to it.

Opting out of the system is actually very easy, once you stop believing in the system you are effectively outside. Certainly there are other actions you could take to make your capital and life better by leaving or structuring to avoid the pitfalls of the system, but that is secondary. The trick is to put yourself first, the individual first and foremost above any social/ideological system past, present and future, and it will melt like a cube of sugar in a cup of tea.

Serfdom is interesting in the fact that it makes one destitute by appropriation. Ergo everything you produce is appropriated by someone other than yourself and distributed in the fashion of their choosing. Feminism strives at a similar ideal, where ones’ identity is above the individual. Putting one class, or gender above the other through mental masturbation for the “good” of society builds up a moral superiority complex, where the ethics are warped to such a degree that they become irrationally ingrained in the core of society. As with any ideology the absolute goal is for feminists to decide on the identity everyone else gets vested with. That is the crux of reality.

As of right now, our schools, job opportunities, government redistribution of income, court adjudication, and quiet a few other segments mandate a way of thought, action, and enforcement to favor one side rather than another, not on merit, but on favor predicated on an ideology. In respect to this reality all of them loose once compliance in the process by the other half is curtailed. Fantasy that the utopia is just beyond the horizon forcing the younger generation to sprint across the desert for the oasis beyond the horizon, which never materializes is the whimpering ending of the future. It is sort of sad as those disillusioned women walk the streets and the reality is not conforming to their expectations even now. Most hurt are usually the true believers, they are left devastated at the troth that is laying empty and no more morsels of encouragement nor the silk shades can hide the rays of sun and the truth beyond them.

Men whom have been hurt by the system will either raise the price beyond the orbit of the ability to pay for most females in the marriage/dating market or otherwise [which is reasonable], opt out to foreign lands, or do something completely different. Backlash on a system where disparity occurs for a long time occurs at the point of slow decline to accelerate its’ collapse. How do people think dowry came into being? Imagine a market that has been shocked by plague or war, if there is a big gender imbalance either bride price or dowry will ensue to bring it to equilibrium. Sure the guys could impregnate all the available women but in a world where resources are scarce it would be hard to feed multiple families. Particularly in light of one where females are more favored in a socio-economic settings.

Ahem, yes ladies will have to actually pony up and pay guys to marry and stay with them. Not just sexually but with actual coin and labor. Age of Distpoia is ahead, meddling in the familial construct creates severe repercussions before things correct themselves. Yet we have not heard the last hurrah, an ending effort to “correct” all things wrong in the market of human emotions. Perhaps we can avert serfdom by legislation but at this point my mind is still doubtful on that point.

Present is like a conundrum where one side tries to outwit it-self in order to convince the other of the benefits it brings, while the opponent smiles haughtily as they turn to leave.

Fin.

Serfdom, Feminism, Present part2 for Serfdom, Feminism, Present part1

To some degree I think feminism rose out of the suffrage movement, as voting pluralized from segment to segment so did the agenda . Well think about it this way every –ism is based on an ideological world view that the movement behind it tries to push society into, the closer you are to the core of our species with an ideology the more skewed the world view of society becomes through it. Basically equality under socialism is defined and redefined over and over again to coincide with the changing socialists in control. A similar process is going on with the feminism movement. Satisfaction of an ideological worldview does not happen because those whom are in control always redefine it to their own ambitions. It is a fluid river of loops pushing out the beliefs of those behind it and segmenting the majority of those believers into smaller and smaller majorities to redefine, more and more worldviews based on the core values of those in control. Morality and ethics are just rationalization mechanism to convince others, when that doesn’t work brute force and laws follow.

Money matters much less in creating ideological forces. Far more relevant are the institutionalized verticals of a power base, where it really creates loops which feed on themselves like government employees from teachers to administrators within state/city/federal agencies. Once something has inertia behind it and a lot of power its very hard to change, it somewhat becomes tautological and reinforces itself. Institutionalized feminism in these verticals of power begins to be ingrained so heavily as to displace actual functionality for which they were created. Schools are an easy example where hard sciences have been displaced more and more in favor of humanities and how to think within society. Critical thought, competition, and creativity are constrained by the egos of those who “know better”. Perfection in the eyes of every person in power is just a shift one way or another, just a marginal step in the right direction, just a few more rights for some and less for others, and a cumulative destruction is slowly leveraged by magnitudes of time. Once power corrupts the system absolutely, it simply transfers to those whom ignore the system. Those whom organize outside the system and are non-reliant on it gain power. Compliance is destroyed once trust is destroyed and once a system does not represent your best interests you have no reasons to comply. Only a marginal amount of people have to cease complying before the system is too heavy to operate under its’ own weight.

Due to different age curves and mortality rates for the most part the ratio of women to men in our society is around 51/49, considering that voters are stripped of their right to vote by being “criminalized” through the justice system and majority of those are men we can assume that the voting base is probably closer to 55/45 female to male. Then we can assume that higher voting rates will apply to women in the future due to greater college enrollment going on now. It seems closer and closer to an age where breakdown between men and women voting will be near 60/40. Assuming other factors discussed below marginalization of non-mainstream worldviews will simply mean ignorance of the interest groups whom are not aligned into this paradigm.

I suggest you look up pluralism, and think how interests are fractured by it.

Most people today ignore very basic facts, and look at politics with rose colored glasses.

Perceptions and reality are usually very different things. For example a country with a 100 million people and a voter turnout of 50% and two political parties only needs one of them to gain over 25 million votes to control a society of 100 million for the duration of their mandate. If the government structures policies in such a way as to pit against one another of its constituencies due to economic, moral, or other outlooks, they only need a marginal person to establish rules only they expressly wished for.

This is done rather simply, akin to marketing really. You take your basic population and divided it into groups where self-interest will make certain that it aligns to your position weather the rest of your position is aligned will be irrelevant since marginally they will be ahead. Having overlaps between groups is actually better since you automatically gain advocates of your will in multiple instances within society. Ergo society can be viewed thus: women, men, ethnic groups, age groups, economic groups. Let’s take a 100 people with an inverse pyramid shape 50/50 female to male, a third each in a different ethnic group, a fifth each in a different age group, and a seventh in each different economic group. Now whom would you approach to win control of the group? Your fractional influencer group has to simply be slightly larger than any other to give you power. Ergo women whom vote from the dominant ethnicity of voting age, and within the top 5-6 brackets of income distribution. With 50% turnout that’s less than 10 people*. In essence you leverage yourself by a factor of 10x.

But, nature always wins in the end. Always without exception. The longer you suppress it the bigger and more destructive the snapback effect, creative destruction has a way of appearing where it is least expected.

Several thoughts about what is going on now. Massive amounts of productive capital is held offshore in one way or another to escape government meddling. No amount of suing, divorce, government intervention will force it back. Government went into Byzantium mode with “good ideas” being implemented left and right as regulations. Any interest group willing to leverage an agenda and show backing from any segment of the population gets ‘its’ law or a section within one. What happens once the labyrinth is complete is decay and collapse, none want to operate in a system that is in conflict with itself because it will always conflict with you first and that costs money. This is not about making state and federal overlays the same, it is about having either one or the other.

Compliance with the system is falling not only due to people wanting to escape being strangled by paper mill forms but due to the said paper mill forms creating bottlenecks of accessibility and understandability, which begets audits and examinations for those participating. The ultimate ending is very simple, it is outright graft. When you are in violation of a regulation and there is a person examining things it will be cheaper to bribe than to pay the fine. Once it metastases on a massive scale, and it will in a very short time the outright real costs for the bureaucracy will become very high. Law and its enforcement will be totally arbitrary based on your real pocketbook.

*50 say 20 females are from the dominant ethnic group with 50% turnout you only need 10 and a fifth will not be able to vote due to age distribution.

Part 2 over still have no structure within this oh well.

Escape Vent

Wed, 22 Dec 2010 12:07:41 -0500

What would one want to escape? Fate, mundane realities of the present, self-perceptions, their station or lack there of in society, perhaps and infinite number of other things can be thrown into the mix.

One cannot escape their surroundings because they are tempered by one’s attitude and in order to change them you have to change your perception of self. But that’s some reflective idiocy on my end. The reality is sometimes your surroundings suck and they are the product of others whom are more eager to create a nature of subservience within the ecosystem to serve their interests.

Lately there seems to be a perfect storm, wikileaks being lambasted to hide governmental corruption, assault on personal freedoms seems to be going full steam ahead, net neutrality is being segmented in a divide and conquer fashion, so that eventually we will be left with as few networks online as we are in real life. All of this seems so very surreal but never the less is slowly occurring. Perhaps it is the great health plan of the future which will put anyone in jail unable or unwilling to pay premiums to health insurance giants vis a vis government extortion brigades that got me thinking this way. It might have been the FDA raiding organic food producers in California and elsewhere, as well as, big food processors attempting to kill the last vestiges of the family farm with regulation disallowing anyone to grow food for their own or commercial consumption without being probed by aliens, I mean the FDA. They only want to keep us safe[sarcasm], from ourselves of course. and a little bribe here and there from Monsanto or someone similar in the form of a campaign contribution or a stock grant doesn’t hurt those bureaucrats. Most of whom go from Monsanto to work at FDA back and forth almost writing regulation for themselves so to speak.

This does make me sad at times, but well its OK. None of this matters one bit. Once all of this comes true and the proverbial neck of the populace is snapped, we will enter the Age of Randomness. History as we know it is usually a manipulated shell of ideas through a lens of revision made up by a systemic reflection of what is best for the system creating a base background for which others can believe. Tempering an alloy of reality one can only look at what happens when fundamental corruption permeates the government, societies reply with black markets, mafias, and perpetual coups until the system disintegrates and reforms itself into something descent. Empires are built on sand and a mortar of blood, but the ocean is usually a few feet away, and that’s Nature humming away as it edges closer to level us back to reality.

Serfdom, Feminism, and the Present

Fri, 10 Dec 2010 01:42:29 -0500

December 10th, 2010 by Lushfun

Serfdom which is essentially slavery was abolished around 1861, until that time it cost you slightly less to kill a serf than horse. In America slavery was abolished only about four years later. The events happened for vastly different motives, and usually not the ones you read about in the history books. The likelihood of revolution due to poor treatment and status of serfs was rising with every years considering that Western Europe at the time had mostly abolished slavery and was on its way to representative republicanism. A few rebellions where the manor lords/gentry were killed off along with their families happened in Poland and Russia and thus reform was pushed through. In America similar things happened. Both got emancipated due to wars weakening their underlying regimes, ergo Crimean War and the Civil War basically forced the issue and for the most part it occurred to keep the economic system in place. In Europe it was done to keep the underclass placated and the economic hierarchy in place since the reliance of freed serfs on their masters was even higher than before, while in America it was done for economic domination of North versus South while keeping the social hierarchy similarly in place.

Fast forward to today and the rents and fees, those former serfs/slaves paid to their masters manifest themselves in perpetual taxation based on location(property taxes), income(income tax), commerce(sales tax), and a myriad of others. Most of these are passed through by the owner to the customer and the people on the bottom pay their freight just as before simply under a veil of ignorance and semantics(things are called different things). Simply naming things differently does not alter their function since as a base you have to pay someone for freedom of functionality just like before except now it is cycled through “the government” before the factors are redistributed to maintain the ideal of equal burden for the sake of optimal society. The ideal of course is to not just have the physical boundaries of laws enforced by the boot of the government agent, but to have you believe in the system and comply willingly. Without compliance the system does not ward, so ‘ideals’, ‘ethics’, ‘beliefs’, and ‘morals’ are taught and ingrained through the boot camp of the school system we enjoy. Running around like Pavlov’s dogs from one ringing signal to another with a social interaction meal in between we participate in our own brainwashing from kid to adult.

Present is a tricky state, it revolves around concrete actions, like getting up moving, doing, feeling, breathing, etc. Mentally our plasticity diminishes with time, no matter how open minded we think we are by the time we are in our twenties or thirties the way we think influences what we think about. Critical thought impedes on the comfort of regular and rehearsed outlets that make it easy to be a world thinker through participating in the consumption of thoughts of others. Consuming content and ideals along with it we build our little rationalization minds into pillars of discontent that revolve around some issue here and there that is flickered into our worldview by content mill we frequent.

Ah, subconscious appeal to the most basic and unscrupulous desires of men and women. The self, idiosyncratic nooks and crannies of our formative reptilian drives. Is there no appeal greater than to ones benefit and sexuality? Wouldn’t it be great if the world just tilted slightly in your mental favor and it was done so in the pursuit of justice? Tam-ta-ra-ra-ram Feminism to the rescue! Why was it promoted instead of Masculinism or some such ideal? Glad you asked dear reader. Female networks are much more socially integrated and intertwined with the sinews of society. An ideal that elicits compliance of the whole populous through the carrot of one sex is also a good two for one deal. As the saying goes if the government robs Peter to pay Paulette, it can always rely on Paulette to champion her righteous cause to get whatever Peter has. There you have it an easy idealistic moral sword for one half of the population to wield to help aid in submitting the other, never realizing of course that it is a pawn in a much more shrewd game. As the laws were amended and the balance of power shifted further and further to one sex there are efficiency losses carried by society at large. Constraints that appear as benefits only further the likelihood of a slow but steady civilizational loss that is moving like a locomotive in a tunnel, except the headlight is out and you do not know how far away it is.

P.S. this is part 1 I will most likely amend and extend this or other versions.

Creativity as a Science

Creativity as a Science

Here I am sitting behind my slowly decomposing desk. My thoughts are empty and the imagination is somewhat blunted to put it mildly. Focusing with bated breath on the creative process at hand, attempting to produce a grain of knowledge.

It was not a big revelation that a lot of what I read online tends to be observational mimicry and entanglement of popular opinion that adds no practical knowledge to the reader. I remember reading as a kid when words filled the mind with warmth and a partial imaginary world was taking hold partly in this reality and partly in a different one. Basic knowledge and ambiguity seem to have saturated our introspective domains. Possibilities of choices in ambiguous words repackaged for our consumption bring no satisfaction and only leave us hungry for more, of something real and paradoxically unreal, which augments our thought in a novel way for which we long. Certainly the puzzle is within ourselves as well as the surrounding environments which flood us with data that keeps us busy.

Effervescent complexity seems to breed more complexity, all the while we ignore the core simplicity with which things could be seen in a totally new light that would bring us some joy. I remember having a tough time with statistics, things seemed overtly mathematical but not totally complex. If someone could just make me visualize the various outcomes in a relational manner it would have been like a complete revelation and my study time and progress would have been significantly shorter. Perhaps if people were more creative in their explanations and tried to simplify things to a bare minimum so that even the dumbest could visualize a core understanding of a concept we would all be better off. We would learn faster, more, and practical application and use would skyrocket as people would see new dimensions in their environment and how they could be improved.

Creative sparks are illusive because we have to stop ourselves and rethink to the simplest minimum of a problem and then re-orient our mind randomly away from our currently grounded inertia of thought. People get tied to their perceptions with age and switching from one belief to another or a different point of view seems harder and harder. Sometimes it seems progressive thought actually diminish our concepts of understanding since each structural idea has to be build on another and the edifice of belief built so solidly that the entire concoction can never be reoriented or approached from a different base altogether. If you have ever seen Tibetan Monks make a colored sand painting and then destroy it practicing creative destruction, most of us are not able to do the same with simple thoughts and ideas permeating our minds. We cringe at the loss of comfort that would pose to our ‘identities’, while they change with the times through the currents of environmental factors slowly eroding our beliefs.

Life is bitter, or sweet, or warm, or cold, or the spectrum of myriads of colors, or the darkness of the universe, we could close our eyes and see nothingness, but never do we imagine reds and oranges until someone suggests. Blue hues of the sky could be running through our veins while a bloody haze could be rising from the water. Invert your thoughts and associations, like a child playing in a sandbox perhaps and your views shift to something new. You can always go further than you think we just don’t practice our creative muscles wallowing in laziness as innovative thinking passes by we over complicate our thoughts in a festering and ingrained way, pushing and pulling, when the reality is you have to let go. Simple is hard, people don’t do simple, societies ignore it, all to the peril of the outcomes it could provide.

Taming Success [Satire]

Mon, 22 Nov 2010 01:26:41 -0500

Taming Success [Satire]

What’s in a word anyways? Perhaps it is all about expectations.

You know you build yourself up a little, furrow that brow, tilt your hat, pout your lip

and launch yourself into the bathroom to successfully dump a little memento of your own. Maybe that is lowering bar a little but hell you have to start somewhere. All of this

obsession, negativity growing from the pit of your stomach, pestering social cues of trial, error, drive, ambition, go-go-go and conquer your piece of the pie and if you fail, then boom in the proverbial garbage heap for you.

Seriously? is this what people think. Everything is relative, successful at work miserable at life, successful at life miserable at work, and lots of little avenues here and there which make up the gray areas between perfection (which does not exist) and utter and complete failure (which also does not exist) because your perception of someone elses’ achievements DO NOT MATTER, it is all self-personified and self-redacted. Look into your own bowl and do not bark up at mine type of thing.

Then we go into the statistical crapper; average income, mean multiple partners in bed, amount of times came at this quintile or decile in such and such event, study, etc. and etc… Measure yourself against the proverbial yardstick as it gets shoved deeper and deeper up your ass! Up to and until your mind is completely consumed with a nervous tick that slowly but surely hastens the probability of stroke as that twitchy eye and a feverishly pacing heart improve a likely successful exit way ahead of the group. Go you!

Notice how dear success is, all that sacrifice, time, effort, and on and on. Is it worth it? All this delusionary influence of common, get in line, you gotta get yours! Where? What? Why? Why not just get what you need, be somewhat comfortable and not overextend yourself into a little wooden box. Reality of course is the lion tamer in the room, so what else is left except… lying. World as we know it becomes predicated on semantic one up-manship in defining away reality. Oh you’re a financial executive in charge of risk management for consumers, and me well you know a little of this a little of that, I operate on the fiscal accounting side in charge of our company’s retail division. Although an insurance salesman and a cashier is really all you are, your imaginary cloud starts to construct and orchestra of well “what if” I just do a little of this and a little of that, and then wham bam thank you mam, I might get there, but you haven’t even began on the road to there and so this goes into the proverbial run around. I dabble in this but my real ambition is that and I am on my way so its OK, and everyone constructs a wonderful little fairy tale of how everything is going to end wonderfully and I am riding down the “yellow brick” road. Eventually it all gets tedious and tiring and we accept reality, youth and stupidity are friends after all.

Competence of the Incompetent

Fri, 19 Nov 2010 02:09:14 -0500

by lushfun.com

Lately there has been a push by the “Powers that be” for yet another Copyright Law that basically kills free speech online. All the big media corporations are rubbing their hands in glee as they will simply issue copyright infringement notices on anything they don’t like be it free speech that criticizes their product or service or anything that actually infringes on their rights. Once your accused and your host kills your site, there will eventually be a blacklist upon which your site enters, and even if you win in court it will be there forever keeping you down. In all likelihood you will loose your domain first and then they will refund you ten bucks or so in restitution if you go to trial and win. This is how ladies and gentlemen this part of the internet age dies and another emerges.

But the incompetent media companies whom are competent at lobbying and thinking about law and ratcheting it to their advantage forget one very important thing. If this actually comes into being and results in locking down access for users whom will get banned by their internet service providers if they downloaded and infringed upon the media cos. rights there will be a backlash. Do people forget that IRC still exists? and that before torrents it was the main venue for file sharing? The low hertz bandwidth that was used for “Ricochet” can be used by anyone to create a network, especially as hardware becomes more and more accessible. Would there be a rapid development, no of course not, but a parallel outlet no matter how small, if perfectly free will derive an impact that is anything but marginal. Oh ye of little faith and wisdom, that had no foresight prior to going on this foolish venture to contain the desires of the masses that wants content that is affordable and accessible at any and all times, how many problems will you reap then. Domains, would become meaningless if there are no central servers to register them with and the market of bidders is limited. Users who flock elsewhere and do not pass through a dead network do not bring money from ads or content delivery.

Science will find a way, especially as the costs of technological application are falling with every second the clock beats forward. Sometimes going with the times is a smarter thing to do, although the geyser of legal activity has continued to spray crap all over rational venues to this outcome. Legislating only works if enforcement is possible and with technology going faster

with every minute it is simply not going to happen without the consent of the users, and they will not give it.

Creativity the fleeting Zen

Creativity the fleeting Zen. by Lushfun 10.15.2010

Bouts of creativity are rare for me, and sometimes they come if I just start writing something shutting out all other thoughts completely. Feeling so boxed in by expectations, some my own, some external. During the past ten years I have behaved very much like driftwood, drifting along with the current of time.

After reading some of the panacea of the cookie cutter recipes with general bullet points of steps a through z that you need to “succeed” in one discipline or another to “win win win” it began to dawn on me that it is much similar to the propaganda of school, where the useful and critical thought is eviscerated from daily life. You are likened to an automaton much like the program that spits out a function once you throw a parameter into it to get a reaction. Critical thought requires introspection and time, sometimes it doesn’t come for a while, long past the wrong decisions or the missed opportunity. Reflection and hindsight is a bitch.

People seem so concerned on specificity and refining the effervescent corners of said polished frame of mind that absurdness just hazes over their worldview. We all feverishly practice obsessive-compulsive behavior, tightening our nerves like strings on a guitar, that snap when reality strikes to play them.

All we long for is a few moments of total acceptance to warm the hearth of our hearts. Simple things are always harder to see because it requires the viewer to come down from the ego of his mind play. Nature is a good friend to have on your side instead of trying to compete against like a fool. In the end all that struggling and competition is not against anyone else but yourself. Nature has a way of humbling people in the end.

Hologenome

Hologenome

Somewhat peculiar story from wired about fruit flies preferring partners whom are reared on the same food source. Perhaps humans are similar in some respects? “But these results show that it’s not just a host’s genome that can undergo selection; it’s the host plus everything that lives on or in it. The Hologenome Theory posits that it’s the host genome plus its associated microorganisms that ends up being the unit of selection.” This quote from the article above is particularly startling. Imagine the bacteria in your stomach that develops out of your preference to corn flakes altering your preferences for females that also similarly like corn flakes, isn’t it grand?

I am sure we have more inputs and variability in our system but it is somewhat interesting to not that a lot of it may come from battles between bacteria in your system with marginal preferences given to someone who smell or possess a similar proportion of the same bacteria in their system not just to your preferences but due to other organisms in your system. It underscores the Selfish Gene theory by Richard Dawkins, which somewhat highlights our bodies being alike to lumbering robots and there are influencers within us that drive us, our genes. Here however we see that not only genes but other things also impact our decisions. So in some sense we could always ask ourselves do we really want that donut, or does donut living bacteria within my insides want more of its brethren to influence my behavior to propagate itself? It may well be that it is a little of both.
