Secrecy interferes with
knowledge
Every culture wants people
to be educated, but every culture inhibits
our knowledge of human health because we have the right to be secretive
about our lives, health information, DNA,
job performances, school report cards, and other information.
Every culture also allows us to lie
to our friends, spouse, and doctors about our health, marital history,
criminal history, and other aspects
of our lives.
Farmers and gardeners
realize that it is important for them to have information about the
health of
plants and animals, and mechanics realize that it is important for them
to understand the "health issues" of the machines that they take care
of, but no culture applies this concept to humans.
We cannot learn much about humans when we allow everybody to be
secretive and deceptive. One of the issues that we must make a decision
about is:
Which
policy will provide us with the most satisfying life:
a) |
Allowing us to be secretive and
deceptive about our genetic characteristics, drug use, medical
treatments, and other health issues. |
b)
|
Allowing us to have the maximum
amount of knowledge about human health issues.
|
|
This constitution regards secrecy as being detrimental and knowledge as being extremely valuable.
Therefore, the physical and mental health characteristics of every
person is regarded as public
knowledge rather than secretive, private information.
The more information we
collect, the more we benefit
The more information that
we gather about our health, the better our understanding will be of
human
health issues, which will allow us to do a better job of maintaining
good physical and mental health.
An
example that I mentioned years ago is that
when I was in junior high school, I was running slower
every month. Gathering that type of information about children
allows us to determine if any of them might be suffering from physical
or mental
problems, allergies, food poisoning, and other problems.
Therefore, the schools are
required to collect data about each student's mental and physical
abilities, and put the data into their entry of the People
database. This can help doctors and scientists identify the children
who are showing signs of problems, and help them understand the health
characteristics of humans.
If we can develop the technology to keep track of what the children
eat,
the
pollen in the air, and other environmental issues, we will be able to
learn how environmental issues affect a child's health, behavior, and
performance in school.
We can now automate a lot of the data collection. For example, we could
put a camera at the entrance of the school to measure the height of the
children, and allow software to analyze their facial expressions and
how they walk. The children could also walk over a scale so that their
weight can be measured.
The California government requires automobiles to have a smog
inspection every two years, regardless of how many hours the car was
used during those two years. Our culture puts more
emphasis on maintaining the health of automobiles
than on maintaining human health.
This Constitution reverses that attitude by considering human health to
be more important.
The Medical Ministry is required to gather as much data as possible
about human health. Here are some examples of how we benefit by
gathering video and other data about ourselves, and analyzing it.
Example #1: Changes in our voice
It would be useful to have computers
record and analyze a person's voice
because our voice is an indication of our medical problems,
personality, and
attitude. For example, when I created my video about the 9/11 attack, I
noticed that
if I recorded some narration in the evening, it sounded like it had
been recorded with a different microphone compared
to the narration that was recorded during the morning. My
pronunciation, and the quality of my voice, was also worse in the
evening.
Eventually I noticed that my voice was usually changing after meals,
and that it happens to some other people, also, such as my
father, but it didn't happen to "healthy" people. My eyesight also
changes throughout the day, such as becoming nearsighted after I
have a meal.
If computers were tracking us and recording video and audio of us, they
would be able to notice that some of us are displaying symptoms of
problems, such as voices and eyesight that change throughout the day.
By gathering data about these issues, scientists will eventually figure
out what is different about us, and who needs restrictions on
reproduction.
Speaking properly requires a certain amount of energy and coordination.
Our brain needs energy to formulate the words, and our mouth and tongue
need energy in order to move properly, and our brain must coordinate
the muscles in our mouth, tongue, and vocal cords. People with problems
with energy production are more likely to mispronounce or slur words
because their
muscles will not want to move properly, and the people with problems
with their brain will have trouble finding the words to use, or have
trouble
speaking.
Our voice also changes according to our mental state. People who are
depressed, angry, envious, or in pain do not pronounce words in the
same
manner as people who are relaxed and enjoying life. They are also
likely to use different words than people who are enjoying life, such
as swearing and complaining more often.
Example #2: The manner in which we stand
The way we stand is an indication of our
mental and physical condition. For example, a woman once asked me
why I was leaning against a table while I was doing something at the
table, as shown by the red arrow in the
drawing to the right.
Until she asked that question, I had not
noticed that I did that, but it was easy for me to realize that I
did it because it was less physically strenuous than standing upright.
This is a behavioral characteristic that computers could identify if
they were tracking us, analyzing video of us, comparing us to one
another to find similarities and differences.
Example #3: The manner in which we walk and lift
objects
The manner in which we walk is
affected by our energy levels,
joints, and other characteristics. The people with low energy levels
tend to drag or shuffle their feet. They often walk on their heels,
as if their feet were amputated, whereas people with very high energy
levels are more likely to use their calf muscles and Achilles tendon to
push themselves up as they walk, creating the impression that they are
bouncing up and down as they walk.
Computers could also
identify some health problems by analyzing how people pick up objects
from the ground. People with low energy levels or joint problems, or
who are overweight, are likely to bend
over to pick
something up rather than squat.
When we walk up a staircase, the people with certain physical or mental
problems lift
their foot to the bare minimum, which frequently results in the bottom
of their shoes scraping against the next step, which makes a shuffling
noise and wears away the staircase and their shoes faster than the
people who lift
their foot up and place it down on the next step.
Example #4: Yawning for no apparent reason
When I was in my early 20s, I noticed that I was occasionally yawning
at random times during the day for
no apparent reason, sometimes while I was walking. I was
not sleepy, so why was I yawning?
Although it had occurred to me by this time that my body had some type
of problem with energy levels, my arrogance was causing me to
resist the possibility
that my yawning was a sign of a genetic disorder. Instead, I thought
that perhaps I was yawning because I was in such good physical shape
that walking did not require much energy, thereby causing my body to be
very relaxed.
That was a truly stupid
conclusion, but everybody, especially men, create theories that make
themselves feel
good. For example:
•
|
|
When people
noticed that human women are the only animals that have
trouble giving birth, their arrogance caused them to look for a reason
that would glorify humans. They created the idiotic theory that
childbirth was difficult for humans simply because we have large brains
with
tremendous intelligence.
They resisted the possibility that it was
because certain genetic characteristics of the human race have been
degrading for thousands of years.
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
When people noticed
that alcoholism, stupidity, mental illness, and criminal behavior is
more common in certain families, they resisted the possibility that our
behavior is due to genetics because that leads us to the unpleasant
conclusion that
we should avoid getting married to people whose families have such
problems, and the even more unpleasant conclusion that we should
prohibit some people from reproducing.
Therefore, most people decided to create a more pleasant, but idiotic
explanation, such as the children of alcoholics and criminals are more
likely than other children to become alcoholics and criminals simply
because they learned the
behavior from their parents. |
When I began taking thyroid hormones, I stopped yawning during the
day, so my conclusion is that the yawning was the result of my
thyroid problems.
If we had cameras scattered around the city, and if software was
analyzing the video, we might discover that there are lots of people
who yawn during the day for no apparent reason, and investigating those
people might show us that there are some other genetic disorders that
causes this problem, and there might be some environmental causes, also.
We
need help in understanding ourselves
Nobody is perfect, but it
is difficult for a person to figure out what his imperfections are
because we don't know enough about human health to know what "normal"
is, and because we do not yet have the knowledge or equipment to
analyze ourselves thoroughly.
We need help in understanding ourselves, and that help can come from
software that analyzes our voices, eating habits, sleeping habits, and
whatever other data we can collect.
We must eliminate secrecy and collect data about everybody in the People
database so that we can compare ourselves to one another. That
will help us notice that some of our "characteristics" are actually
symptoms of a problem.
Dr. Ken Berry posted this
video of some of the symptoms of thyroid problems. I had noticed that I
had some of
those symptoms, but I didn't know what they meant. For example:
•
|
|
As I mentioned
above in Example #1 (above), after a meal, especially in
the evening, my voice
would change and become hoarse and raspy, and my vision would become
blurry. I assumed those problems were due to a problem with my insulin
levels or the ability of my body to use insulin, but Dr. Berry says
both of
those problems are a characteristic of thyroid problems. |
|
|
|
•
|
|
My armpits and feet would
sometimes perspire even if I was cool or a bit cold. I assume that this
was just a defect with my body, but Dr. Berry says excessive
perspiration is a
characteristic of thyroid problems. |
|
|
|
•
|
|
The outer half of
my eyebrows don't have much hair. I assumed that was just a
characteristic of my eyebrows, but Dr. Berry says it is a symptom of
thyroid
problems. |
We cannot learn much about ourselves or the human race when we hide our
physical and mental characteristics, and
especially when we deceive one another about our characteristics, but
we will benefit
tremendously by eliminating secrecy and comparing ourselves to one
another.
Some of the people who believe that they are in perfect mental and
physical health are certain to discover that they actually have some
problems. Furthermore, some of those people might be able to reduce some of their problems
through
changes in diet, lifestyle, hormones, or medical drugs, thereby
allowing them to become even more talented, relaxed, or happy.
For another example, if we had such extreme video surveillance of
everybody that computers could make comparisons between us in regards
to our nose picking and nose blowing, the computers might notice that
some of us are picking our nose more often when we eat certain foods,
or when there are certain pollens in the air, or when we are around
certain other types of allergens. That information would allow those
people to reduce their nose picking by
avoiding the particular allergens that they have trouble with.
Determining who has the worst problem with nose picking will also allow
us to do a better job of determining who should be prohibited from
reproducing, thereby reducing this problem in every generation.
If our ancestors had been restricting reproduction to people who had
the least problem with allergies, nose picking, tooth decay, bad
eyesight, gray hair,
baldness, and other problems, we would be grateful.
It is idiotic for us to be ashamed or embarrassed of nose picking,
constipation, diarrhea, crooked teeth, and other problems. It is much
more sensible to study these problems to determine which of these
problems are environmental and which are genetic. That would allow us
to reduce the problems that are environmental, and make better
decisions about who should reproduce.
Likewise, putting cameras in our bedroom so that we can observe how
everyone sleeps would allow us to figure out who has the least problems
with sleeping, and which of our sleeping problems are environmental and
which are genetic. This would allow us to improve the sleeping habits
of every generation, and reduce the time they spend sleeping.
The
more we know about ourselves, the better
Ignorance doesn't help
anybody. The more thoroughly we understand ourselves, the better we
will do at managing our life. If each of us could figure out what sort
of genetic problems we have, we would reduce the chances that we
mistakenly assume that
the reason we are having some trouble in life
is because of poverty, discrimination, sexism, lack of opportunities,
bad
parents, or
bad luck.
Everybody must accept the fact that every living creature is a
jumble of genetic characteristics. Everybody needs to accept the fact
that all of us are imperfect, and we must find ways to deal with our
problems so that we don't waste our lives and irritate other people by
pouting, whining, hating, or accusations of discrimination.
When we are ignorant of our genetic disorders, we are likely to assume
our problems are caused by other people, or from intangible concepts. I
suspect that a lot of the people who become "liberals" are people who
are suffering from serious genetic problems, but do not realize
they have problems. Their ignorance has caused them to assume that they
are suffering because they are helpless, innocent victims of something,
such as rich people, corporations, Nazis, or poverty. Those idiotic
beliefs can cause them to develop a
feel-sorry-for-me
attitude, or cause them to become angry at the people they assume are
hurting them.
Another reason for making people aware of their health problems is to
reduce the chances that a person uses drugs, religion,
sex, food, or fame to make himself feel better. For example, if a
person is suffering from low energy levels but does not realize that he
has a medical problem, he might notice that he feels better, or suffers
less, with
painkillers, cocaine, nicotine, amphetamine, or alcohol.
Another interesting possibility is that some of the people who are
frequently angry might be making themselves frightened or angry because
it makes them
feel
better. I have noticed that if I am either frightened by something,
such as a large, aggressive dog, my
body reacts by providing me with a higher level of energy. That makes
my body feel better, but it is temporary. Therefore, some of the people
who are frequently frightened or angry might be making themselves
frightened or angry because it
makes them feel better.
Adolf Hitler spent months of his early adult life as a homeless
vagrant, and when he gave speeches, he always seemed to be angry, so I
wonder if he was suffering from a genetic disorder, and that he felt
better when he was angry. He may not have had problems with thyroid
hormones, however. He may have had some other disorder that was making
him feel miserable.
It is not yet practical to
collect certain information
The Medical Ministry is
responsible for determining which type of health information is
practical for us to gather about ourselves, and to recommend the
development of software and technology to make the gathering of
information more practical.
For example, it would be useful to collect detailed information on the
quantity and type of food we eat throughout the day, the times we eat,
how quickly we eat, how often we choke on food, and how often we bite
our tongue.
It would also be useful to collect data about our waste products,
perspiration, blood, mucus, and saliva. However, we don't have the
technology to collect that data, and it is
irritating to collect some types of data, such as blood samples.
The Medical Ministry has to decide what type of information is
the most useful for us to collect, and which information we can collect
without irritating people. They cannot produce or develop any of the
technology that they want to use for data collection, so they post
their desires for equipment and research in the Requests
category. That will allow the Economic Ministers to pass judgment on
whether they are requesting sensible data collection equipment and
technology.
Ideally, we would collect
sexual information
Collecting data about our
sexual activities would also be valuable, but would people be willing
to allow that?
Our sexual activities are dependent upon both our physical and mental
characteristics. For example, it is very difficult for women to have
orgasms, but not because nature is cruel to women. Rather, it is to
improve the chances that the higher-quality men are the most successful
at reproduction.
By making it difficult for women to have orgasms, a man must be able to
repeatedly and rapidly thrust his penis for many
minutes. That is not an easy thing to do if a man has joint problems,
low levels of energy, low stamina, or coordination problems.
Furthermore, it requires a man to have enough of an interest in
pleasing a woman to want to spend the time to do what it
takes to please her. A man who is "too selfish" will leave the woman
unsatisfied.
Women are resistant to men and difficult to please sexually for the
same reason that the military requires their members to pass an
obstacle course. Specifically, the women put potential husbands through
a test to determine whether they have a strong enough
attraction to her to want to take care of her and her children.
The social scientists as of 2024 are so incompetent that we cannot
depend upon
them to provide sensible analyses of social issues, but one of their
investigations of divorce showed
that 70% of the divorces in the USA were
initiated by women, and women with college educations initiated 90% of
the
divorces.
The reason women are more likely to want to divorce can be seen by
analyzing the animals. Female animals have strong attractions to babies, not to
males or sex. They want males only to provide them with
food and protection. If a male cannot do that, they don't want him.
Human women are the same.
Women want men to take care of them, but most men today are so
overwhelmed with life, and have picked up so much conflicting and
idiotic information about life, that they cannot take care of
themselves.
Every culture is giving us an unrealistic view of human behavior, sex,
divorce, and marriage because every culture refuses to acknowledge that
humans are animals. To make the situation worse, the people who
have been getting into influential positions during the past few
centuries seem to have
abnormally intense sexual cravings, and some also have bizarre
cravings, such as sex with children.
Our leaders, especially those in the entertainment businesses, are
creating the impression
that sex is one of the most exciting leisure
activities. They are constantly promoting sex in the
television programs, news articles, and movies. They also promote
Viagra because they believe that older people cannot enjoy life unless
they have lots of sex.
During the 2016 presidential election, some people
were even making idiotic remarks about the size
of Donald Trump's hands. Although it would be useful to gather data
about
everybody's body, and compare ourselves to one another, people were not discussing
the size of Donald Trump's hands in order to understand humans. Rather,
it was because the leaders of
modern societies have obnoxious sexual attitudes.
The people who cannot understand or accept evolution are promoting an
unrealistic view of sex, nudity, childbirth,
breast-feeding, digestion, waste products, earwax, body odors, and
mucus.
Female animals put up resistance to sex, and are difficult to please,
because those females were the most successful in raising children.
They reproduced with the males that were in the best mental and
physical health, and who had a
tremendous desire to take care of a woman and her children.
Female humans behave just like female animals. Specifically, women wait
for a man to show tremendous interest in them. A woman looks for a man
who will put a lot of time and effort into entertaining her with
gifts and praise. The reason because a man who is not
willing to pamper a woman is not likely to take care of her and her
children.
If a man does not understand why
female animals put up a resistance to males and sex, and if he
does not understand that sex is intended for reproduction,
he is likely to assume that sex is for his
pleasure, and that the more
sex he has, the more enjoyable his life will be.
If a woman does not provide him with sex, he might assume she is
cruel, selfish, or a "golddigger", and he might become angry enough to
rape her.
Likewise, if he does
not understand that his attraction to women is intense in order to make
him take care of a woman and her children, he is likely to assume that
his
attraction to women is strong because a woman is a type of goddess, and
that he needs a woman in order to make his life complete.
The same concept applies to women. Specifically, if a woman does not
understand that her attraction to babies is intense in order to make
her devote her life to taking care of her children, then she will
assume that she has a strong attraction to children because children
are
"bundles of joy", and that she cannot enjoy life unless she has
children.
This concept also applies to all of our other emotional cravings. For
example, if a person doesn't understand that his craving for food is
to cause him to provide his body with nutrition, he is likely to eat
whatever tastes good, and in excessive quantities.
Our prehistoric ancestors were ignorant about their emotional cravings,
but they did not suffer because their cravings had evolved to fit their
environment. Today, however, our technology has caused many of our
emotions to be inappropriate. Modern humans must have a greater
understanding of our emotions, and we need the self-control to make
intelligent decisions about when to satisfy our emotions and when to
deny them.
Our sexual characteristics were beneficial in prehistoric times, but in
this modern world they cause a lot of fights, confusion, and
accusations. For
another example, male animals evolved a preference for females as soon
as they become sexually mature because young females are more
successful at raising children than older women. If a woman doesn't
understand this concept, she will accuse men of being " dirty old
men", for having a preference for young women.
Secrecy is increasing the sexual defects
Our distant ancestors could
not hide their body or their sexual activities. As with animals, their
lack of privacy allowed one another to
choose a mate that was sexually healthy.
Unfortunately, our ancestors have been hiding their crotch with
clothing for possibly hundreds of thousands of years, and perhaps
thousands of years ago they began hiding their sexual activities. This
prevented people from knowing who had defective sexual organs or
desires, which allowed many of the
defective people to find a spouse and reproduce.
Today
there are lots of women with deformed breasts, nipples, or vaginas, and
lots of men have deformed penises or testicles. There are also lots of
people with bizarre sexual cravings.
If we do not restrict reproduction to people with appropriate sexual
organs and cravings, then the sexual organs of every generation will
become increasingly defective, and the people will have an increasingly
wider variety of sexual cravings.
At some point in the future, the
human race must overcome its sexual inhibitions and pass judgment on
who
has appropriate sexual organs and desires.
People who deceive us into
marriage are animals
No society yet cares
whether people are honest with each
other. No society considers a person to be a "criminal" if they deceive
somebody about themselves.
For example, a woman can lie to a potential spouse about her hair
color, age, mental illness, and her desires for children and pet dogs.
Likewise, a man can lie about his income, height,
job, previous
arrests, alcohol abuse, and previous marriages.
A person who deceives us into a
friendship or marriage is worse than a thief because they are taking
something that cannot be replaced. Specifically, they are wasting a
portion of our very short life,
and usually the best years of
our life;
namely, our early adult years.
Animals exist only to reproduce, and as a result, they do anything
to be successful at reproduction, which includes intimidating and
fighting with each other.
Humans inherited that same crude behavior, but we need to become better
than animals. We must set higher standards for people, and we must
push ourselves into becoming more honest and exerting
self-control over our
selfishness.
We must regard the people who deceive us into marriage or friendships
as behaving like an animal, and we should not tolerate
that type of abuse.
All humans are selfish, deceptive, and manipulative, but we should pass
judgment on who among us is at the extreme edge of the bell graph, and
restrict their reproduction so that every generation becomes more
honest.
