Mass Mind Brain Damage

Not just personal brain damage, not just one individual brain damage.

Brain damage of entire groups, mass mind brain damage. Mass man brain damage.

  1. “The Galaxy Reconfigured or the Plight of Mass Man in an Individualist Society” - Marshall McLuhan

  2. "Global Brain: The Evolution of Mass Mind from the Big Bang to the 21st Century" - Howard Bloom

"For over a million years the human brain expanded at a rapid rate, and then 200,000 years ago the expansion abruptly stopped. Why? Early humans were consuming fruits containing biochemicals that influenced DNA transcription and pineal gland activity, but the move away from this diet led to aggressive behavior and the suppression of higher capabilities. This book offers protocols that can reverse this degeneration and help us regain the brain of Eden."

And I think that information about a possible neurological basis for the dysfunction that allows for mass insanity to take hold in the first place is relevant, no?

I don't understand your question and context location. All I did was post the sidebar content of the Lemmy Community, which end-users reading seem to ignore with various apps and API interfaces to the Lemmy community.

I've been doing this routinely on posts in this community...

Ah. I thought that you were implying that the post was off-topic. Never mind.

Return to the Brain of Eden

George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch California interviews, Campbell was age 82 in 1986

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: This is represented in the mystery religions, where an individual goes through a series of initiations opening him out inside into a deeper and deeper depth of himself, and there comes a moment when he realizes that he is both mortal and immortal, both male and female.

BILL MOYERS: Do you think there was such a place as the Garden of Eden?

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: Of course not. The Garden of Eden is a metaphor for that innocence that is innocent of time, innocent of opposites, and that is the prime center out of which consciousness then becomes aware of the changes.
