A strong accent on national history as a matter of study has always had the worst of the side effects on humans. Patriotism leads easily to nationalism and - in not unusually extreme cases - to hatred towards other peoples and nations. I don't suggest banning the study of national history altogether; I only want to suggest a more global approach in history education. History must be, first of all, the history of the human race; national history must be an appendix to it. We finally must recognize the importance of psychology, as the science of the humans. It must be taught from the early school years, all the way to the university level. To me, it is strangest that children study botany and zoology, but not psychology. It's like we get ready for living in the jungle, not in the society... Socrates was forced to drink the cup of hemlock for believing in the...truth! There are five major mental programming factors that make us what we are socially. These factors also make human civilizations and societies differ from one another: family, religion, school, popular culture, government. In the next installment, I will show the relation between government as a mental programming factor and our B.I.O.S., our FearSurvival system. A certain University in the United States conducted an experiment on monkeys, like numerous experiments conducted daily in the U.S. Having failed for a long time to make monkeys understand human speech (like all the monkey experiments conducted daily all over this planet), the human experimentators decided to make monkeys understand counting. Guess what? Monkeys figured out numbers right away! Those monkey experiments represent nothing more than an attempt to rush ideas to the marketplace in order to keep the research funds pour in. The only outcome of that kind of lab experiments is taming animals for the circus. The circus tigers could figure out the number of the fire rings they must jump through; or the monkeys could figure out the number of buttons they must push in order to get food. Hellas! Life has always worked very, very differently. It took hundreds of thousands of years for the first humanoids to discover, use and improve the number and the word. The changes were so small, they could only be noticeable after several generations. It also took Nature hundreds of thousands of individuals to experiment with! Many come, few chosen. And it was not done in a lab, but in the huge environment of FearSurvival.

Each and every one of us evolves, develops in time. The only thing that never changes in the Universe is Change itself, Heraclitus said. "It is not possible to step into the same river twice." What paralyses most humans is the fear of failure. The first expression of failure is the ridicule. A few humans have the strength to step beyond ridicule. The next experience is the attack by other humans. The ridicule is caused by expression. Difficult expression becomes the target of ridicule, irrespective the merit of the content. Improved expression of worthy content in the incipient steps leads to attack. I certainly experienced both the ridicule and the attacks. I had developed and distributed software before expressing my philosophical ideas in the global village, Internet. The Fear_Survival system (the real god in nature) did not permit me to fail. When both expression and concepts mature, a new danger arises. The challenge fades out. If there is no challenge in our life, we must provide with our own challenge. Human life without challenge is no human life. Things that used to be ridiculed or attacked are now imitated. Imitation is the most sincere form of approval. The 'Fear and Survival' concept even gave birth to TV shows! More and more Internet places talk about fear and survival in a philosophical manner. The Fundamental Formula of Gambling (FFG) is a favorite subject of many a web page. Filtering, the foundation of my lottery software is at the foundation of hundreds of web pages and dozens of software packages. And so on, and so forth… Keep reading everything at this web site, if possible on your part. Learn from my evolution. Be mindful that I want to keep my history alive. If something sounds outdated, please keep searching my web site. You may find timely addenda. Sometimes, I just may not want to update myself. Publishing of my work will take place rite here, on the Internet. It ought to be free. The Fear_Survival system is a watchdog of evolution. Socrates was not allowed by that mysterious Inner Voice (Daemonion) to get rich by presenting his thoughts. His thoughts were considered wicked by some, but he did not fear the ridicule or intimidation. Nor did he want to get rich. Platonos was inspired by his master and wrote down his master's thoughts (then he added many of his own thoughts). Plato did not want to get rich. Many other Homo sapiens individuals spotted on Truth without intention to get rich. Title: Philosophy, Socrates, Plato, Dialogues: Index of Resources, Pages.
