'Emotional Cognition Theory' (pt 7B) A New Psychoanalytic Therapy

Dental Factors: A New Way to Diverge: the back and forth nature of this essay shows the tendency for humankind to move into divergent colonies.

In the end some of us will stay on the earth either on the surface, deep underground, in or beneath the sea, or high on hills and mountains. Others may try travel into space somewhere ["Oh somewhere !!"]

(7B) The diverging essay:
The book: The Emotional Brain: The Mysterious Underpinnings of Emotional Life The Emotional Brain The Mysterious Underpinnings of Emotional Life by Joseph E. Ledoux by Joseph LeDoux expresses how man's emotions relate to the structure of the brain. In the same way -- in my writings here in (7A) & (7B) essays I try to elicit emotions in readers by describing the progression of anthropological science and nature.

In a sense I use science to help tell a story that will make one think about the responsibility we have to each other, our society, and the environment. To elicit an emotional - almost visceral - response it is hoped for that responsible use of science be used by practitioners notably dentists. [Who are 'doctors of medicine' for sure!] That being said I also hope to use 'Emotional Intelligence' as well:

'THE TREATMENT OF ORGANISMS -- HUMANS IN PARTICULAR';

Continuing the discussion I must ask; Where does the economic demand come from when the individual chooses to eat? Are we led to it? Does the demand come from the media? Or are WE the ultimate decision-maker when it comes to consuming our food?

If we are not to inordinately consume so much perhaps the vegetarians have a point. Meat eaters should consider more vegetables to eat and as a result not so many animals would need to be killed. Why can we not use something like 'milk' more often? It needs to be said that a variety of meats and vegetables may be considered by those who can afford it. You choose out of your own personal desire unless you have no choice at all - either by having someone else tell you what to eat or simply by enduring poverty - as a result many must eat those "Hot Pockets!" or whatever else is in the can - you know, the garbage can which no one will admit provides the 'food'.

I am not saying that we all have to eat the same way. In fact I expect that we should not. But we need to know how nutrients in our body can be gained without overly consuming to the point of decimating our environment - farm land or wild habitat! Some may eat mammalian, some avian, and others yet reptilian. Start small - know your necessary consumption. Please know, however, that we have distanced ourselves from the true nature of our food. Instead of hunting and farming, 'skinning,' and 'harvesting,' we go to vast supermarkets and buy wrapped up goods with directions for preparation. Truly we do not know of our natural inclinations of how to prepare our food from scratch.

What is the result of our search for knowledge?

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (P.I.T.A.) have other considerations. They will not put up with cruelty. To many this makes sense. To kill to eat may not be ethical -- but it is human. Other species such as wolves and big cats do this also. We are not alone ! I am not trying to be flippant when I say -- "lions and tigers and bears!! Oh my!!!" -- because all of us kill something, sometime to eat. There is a true food chain. I don't know why the great blue whale may circumvent this food chain by feeding on small fish and plankton. Too many changes in feeding habits may alter the outcome. Eating habits will have to be carefully considered for every species.

Also remember that both Leonardo da Vinci and Michaelangelo had dissected human cadavers so they could be more knowledgeable concerning the human body. In the end it helped their artwork become much more realistic and as some would claim -- magnificent! Was that cruel, gross, or inhuman?

In today's high school and college comparative anatomy and physiology courses educators use animals for dissection and experimentation. Frogs, sharks, house cats, rabbits, sheep and other animals are used for these reasons. Knowledge comes with a price. What started many years ago as hunger pangs slowly moved to find education about the biological insides of organisms - all organisms.

So there are pockets of people who live differently and have beliefs which 'oppose' each other academically? The choice between cruelty and death makes scientists and philosophers differ within the same institution. Those who supervise these dichotomies -- such as administrators in academia, industry, and government -- need to be concerned with freedom versus research and scientific knowledge. They must understand the vast differences even within their own organizations.

Finally, we consumers become aggravated when we hear words like "natural" and "organic" sell goods as we wonder if a chicken which can go where it wants lays a healthier egg!!

A firm but gentle hand is needed.

As of yet the medical profession still doesn't know all the functions of the pancreas as well as why some people can live without a gall bladder for years. We also do not know if suffering has to come before the inception of a truly meaningful philosophy.

Let me leave you with this:

When babies gain teeth they usually stop suckling.
When children gain adult teeth they change their eating habits and graduate from the honey-oats in their "Cheerios".
When people lose teeth they eat softer foods.

Questions:

Do we need teeth for space travel?
How are you going to store fresh meat on a two-year trip to Mars?
What is the gravity of the matter?
Are humans meant to travel in space?

You tell me!! Right now for me, the food we have for sustenance will determine not only what we choose to eat in the food chain, but where we will eventually live !
