'Emotional Cognition Theory' (pt 7A) A New Psychoanalytic Therapy
This essay comes in two sections -- that is Section (7A) and (7B). The first, (7A), leads us to what divergent niches man can take in this universe, basically because of his physiology, structure of his body, and specifically because of the structures which constitute his head and face.
The book shown here has influenced 'Emotional Cognition Therapy' from the very beginning of the theory's compilation. It's report on human brain structure, physiology, and biochemistry is essential. Here is the information on it:
The Emotional Brain: The Mysterious Underpinnings of Emotional Life
by Joseph LeDoux. After reading this work I became inspired to write Section (7A) and (7B):
What are the constituents above man's neck which determine the behavior of humans? Notably, right now, we consider the implications of teeth in the human head?
I want to describe how humans fit into the universe from a practical point of view. I will focus on our teeth -- or dentition -- just as Joseph LeDoux discusses other parts of our head while showing that we are meant to live on this planet called earth.
Whether you believe the earth is 5,000 years old or has taken eons to evolve -- one cannot dismiss the existence of fossils. Take for example the variety of horse (Equs) fossils which have been found on every one of this world's continents. Differing horse dentition determine various species of Equs.
One can determine these differences in species by the chewing of different grasses and vegetation and the evolutionary adaptation thereof. The similarity and diverse nuances in the nodules and crevices in horse dentition determine to what species various Equs families belong. Remarkable as this sounds -- families of horses can be determined by analyzing their teeth.
Now let's look at human dentition. Homo sapiens, or if you will, humans, have both incisors and grinding molars -- a couple of canines too! Humans are meant to eat both 'paleo' meat and vegetation. In all cases humans are omnivores -- able to eat a variety of foods -- from bovine (cows) to mediterranean (salads). Who is to say what is right for us to eat? We can eat with the careful cleanliness of raccoons, the variety of bears, and the veracity of wolves. The dentition in our mouth over time defines and shows evidence of what we eat!
So why do we kill? It is a shame that many species are disappearing from the earth. Mankind has a role in the extinction of many of these species. Not only are many species of animals becoming extinct but rainforests and vegetation are disappearing as well. What can we do about man's over consumption in this world? Should all life dwindle to extinction, humans will not have the means or even a place to live at all. That is why we have to decide what to do right now!!
Do we have the technology and means to delve deep into our oceans or dig deep underground? May we have floating islands on top of water? May we live in space? It is time to think about these issues instead of killing each other in wars? Where may we cultivate life? We will need food, fresh water, other forms of matter and plenty of sustainable energy. Why is it not possible to obtain more energy from wind or waves crashing into land? Ocean currents? Gradients of heat and cold?
Will we need to diverge from the mainstream of others to find an environment to live? Will different groups of us eat different foods?
The issue here is not that we all will be forced to live alike. The issue instead is that we all will soon have to find different niches. With so many people -- limited resources -- and different environments -- humans will have to diverge as a race. We may not at first have to be different, but we need to find different ways of living. Each individual, each family will have to carve out their own niche for survival.
Going back to what we eat -- Vegetarians and vegans say that they will not eat anything with a notochord. A notochord is a collection of senses or nerves centered in the organism -- a brain stem so to speak, culminating in the structure of a 'face' (where many sense organs are congregated). By this definition vegetarians will NOT eat nematodes (worms), insects, and any organism which has a semblance of a nerve center. I am not sure about jellyfish and fungi. Vegetarians may have the dentition of an omnivore -- but with their brains in particular, the vegetarians will not eat as such.
On the other hand many people eat meat. Meat can be a very efficient food for it is packed with enzymes, amino acids, energy, and nutrients that are very much like our bodies. Humans are not meant to eat just grass as most of the population agrees. Just look at the butcher shop in the modern American supermarket. Unless already thought through -- given conventional circumstances -- the structure of our teeth determines just what we will consume. Yet, who will eat meat on a two year trip to Mars? Is this even possible to consider?
In conclusion -- if people think about their consumption and actually try to use less of the earth's resources -- then more choices would arise and we could truly become more flexible resulting in a true healthy divergence. The entire society would not have to eat in the same way. 'Meatless Monday's' would become more popular. One's mother needn't serve every food group at every meal. With more exercise there may be not such a dire need to 'diet'!
Our object is to raise awareness that different ways could enhance our lives if only we would choose basic and healthy divergent models to follow. In this case we look at our attitude concerning food. If groups of people eat varying foods, then there may be enough food to go around. We have to begin at the basics.
The food distribution system in the United States is the greatest in the world. Where else can you get seafood from Maine and fruit from Hawaii flown into every town in the country on any given day? Where else does the concept of an 'American Supermarket' become as servicing to communities as it has in this country? Certainly, there are pockets of hunger and poverty. Yet, with this system -- and a little enhancement -- the people can be fed !! In no way does the entire system have to be redone ! We have what it takes to fight hunger with only a minor 'tweeking' necessary at all ! I believe that all can be and should be fed !!
There are differences not only in what we eat but our jobs too. Thank and reward the people who bring you your food. Realize that the food business -- like many other industries -- can create a myriad of not only delicacies, but jobs as well. We need to celebrate our differences in every way and find a 'part' for all of us !
Stay tuned for more when we discuss Section 7B -- "The treatment of organisms -- humans in particular!"
