Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hi Nick, Yes, I understand. My point was that in health improvement, all factors that bear upon health are important to consider. How a person uses their brain to think will have a large impact on their health. That person looking for a solution to save their life needs to be thinking correctly, and avoiding beliefs as much as possible. Health doesnt' require belief - eg, breathing air, sleeping, walking, eating good foods, etc. It just needs o be done. People who follow beliefs get themselves into a whole lot of trouble at times. Some beliefs are that cooked, processed food eating is harmless. Or that taking drugs is harmless and good (belief in medicine). Or that civilization is not a natural biological disaster, but is rather an " advanced " state of life (it's advanced, advanced like an avalanche about halfway through its course). I pay great attention to how I think and to what is a healthy way of using my brain to think, just as I pay attention to healthy ways to eat, sleep, walk, rest, drink, abstain from poisons, etc. I mean no harm in the words of my last post, even as the words are fairly straight to the point. It's all in reflecting on our civilized habits. The philosophy site may be helpful, but I've found that most modern, civilized philosophizing is more about debating word meanings than actually using words sensibly - ie, triviality. This is not that I won't go to the site or philosophize, but I will avoid getting caught up in trivial or belief-based thinking. Thanks for the reply. Peacin out, Robert.
