NeuroTransmitters Dopamine and Serotonin Explain Habit Formation And Breaking

Neurologically speaking, dopamine and serotonin are two of the primary NeuroTransmitters. Really Neuro-Psychology is a complex game, involving many potential variables and interactive mechanisms. Nonetheless, I am writing this to provide some basic NeuroLogical structure to this common knowledge of the brain, and the nervous system.

Now, let us explore the repetition of habit vs. novelty, and our pursuit and avoidance of each. These basic principles would hold true in both spatial and temporal dimensions. Dopamine, Dopa, sets off our projected fulfillment mechanisms. Based on past conditioning, we create an ‘object’ or ‘process’ to associate with the essential want or need that we feel. When we see a girl who we find attractive, we begin getting excited. We have been conditioned to be attracted to this ‘object’, or ‘process,’ and the dopamine starts going off when it is perceived as being possible.

Now, Serotonin is designed to associate with actual experiences of pleasure. When you are actually being fulfilled in your desires, the serotonin starts flowing. Now, you may perceive something you desire, and start using up some Dopamine. But if you are not being fulfilled, not getting that Serotonin kick, you’re gonna trend towards what they call ‘novelty addiction.’ Novelty is basically good, it is only ‘bad’ when we cannot be fulfilled in our desires. Thus the push is to deny our desires, rather increase the potential for fulfilling those desires. This is where we go wrong as a society. And, looking at these basic principles of Neuro-Psychology, we can describe its process and reasoning intelligently and specifically.

Politics From An Evolutionary Perspective

Politics, as well as all emotions, stem from our monkey-brains. In the evolutionary timeline, there are certain points of time that mark a significant evolutionary leap, as it coincides with a widespread activation of a new circuit of consciousness. The second circuit of consciousness coincides with, in terms of the evolution of the species, primates. I call this the “monkey-brain.” This circuit represents muscular-locomotive power, and with this development comes dominance and submission. In the human-species today, the remnants of our monkey-brain can be found perhaps most blatantly in politics. This is why politics has such emphasis on territorial and ideological dominance. This is where the appeal to patriotism comes from, as well as our never-ending wars, and our legislation of hive-morality, as in the case of, for instance, the drug-war. This same circuit is responsible for all emotions. This is why politicians constantly appeal to our emotions. In the evolutionary timeline, politicians are primitive-children, and they appeal to your childlike primitive ways of thinking. I say it’s about time we grow up as a species, and stop letting primitive-children run our lives.

Now, it is important to note that we do all have this circuit of consciousness within ourselves, and so I am not saying that it, or our emotions, is ‘bad’, simply that it is being misused. The real problem is that this primitive-establishment is stifling the next step of our evolution, which is currently taking place, but is being made difficult by the political establishments. This is the true reason for the war on drugs, with its emphasis on marijuana and psychedelics. This evolution was sparked off on a wide scale in the 60’s, with the help of marijuana and psychedelics. The future evolution of humanity is INDIVIDUAL in nature, as opposed to all previous evolution which was dependent on the collective. Weed and psychedelics activate higher circuits of consciousness, that assist in this individual-consciousness evolution. The government saw first hand what happens when people use these drugs, and begin activating these circuits of consciousness: people stop caring about blindly listening to and following the society and the government. So they quickly started an all-out war against marijuana and psychedelics, with claims of moral reasoning, but this act in truth is an ALL OUT ATTACK ON OUR EVOLUTION, in order to maintain their own power.
