Social Anxiety after Covid, and Post Ice Age...

What are the causes of social anxiety?

According to Discover magazine there are two competing ideas about this, one about social hierarchy and the other about social exclusion.

According to a clinical psychologist at Georgia State University Erinn Tone, if there were hierarchy in competition in our ancient times in evolution, in this view those with social anxiety would have been able to perceive in advance what might be best to do or not to do so it would have given them the advantage of a sort of wisdom.

 In the second explanation of social anxiety, the cause is not so much the hierarchy as the risk of being socially ostracized and this was associated more surely with death in older times, whether or not there was a  social hierarchy or competition.

 Today it's not usually likely that being ostracized from your group would mean you would die.

 "But we still react if as if the stakes are that high", says Tone.

 "Physioologically, I don't think we respond much differently to ostracism if it means we'll be left out on the frozen plain alone or will be left out of the group going out to Starbucks in a few minutes".

 Arthur Allison Whitten goes on to say, "Sadly we can't go back in time and verify our evolutionary theories of psychology and behavior with our ancestors. A cautionary example comes from a recent study that called into question how it was believed that women in prehistoric societies were only gatherers never hunters."

 It's an interesting question to ask why in the world this is so that we so completely believe that the physical is so much like the behavioral equivalent it seems to represent.

 What happens when a person loses their social status?

 One thing we could say is they often lose their ability to earn money.

 It's not it's not true as some may say, there's no cost associated with losing money, and all we need is love.

 The poor live on the average 14 years less than other people, and illnesses of aging start 10-years sooner for them.

 This reminds of me of like when the husband and wife win the lottery And the wife says, "What do we do about the begging letters?" and the husband says, "Keep sending them!"

 Or like when The wife says to the husband "I'm sure glad that bank is leaving us alone from now on, the message I got says, Final Notice!"

 Or the two women are talking at work, going over all the memories of  the years they have of being there on the job and one says why do we do this anyway?

And the other one says I think it has something to do with rent!

 And by the way what does a dog think about these sounds that we make when we talk, do they really have any meaning?

 We can say that in truth 5/6 of all there is can't be seen, and so much of what goes on about the competition we must be in if we're to flourish and survive has to do with all kinds of the fraud that goes on for example between the "Haves" and "Have Nots".

 This often takes place between where someone like the landlord just makes up a lie and pretends to be the one who's been ineptly criticized.

 Slings and arrows may break their bones, but spare them us candid confessor..

 "We'll always be criticized, and we will always be surprised when we've done our best and we're still being criticized."

 So in addition to the physical safety that having more profit and legitimate sanction Involves there's this sort of Wild Card of behavior that's unobvious but still there that adds a lot more often to the risk of decrease of resources in the event of ostracism.

It's been found that behavioral stress like the boss yelling at you does just as much harm to your health as actual physical events.

In truth we are all a fortress, and the way that we're criticized even if it's artificial sometimes and even if we get strength from it by the exercise, what we win is a prize just as we would have in evolution, and we might think of the triumph of being rich as the triumph of being behaviorally rich are related to each other in a real way.

 Who wants to be half rich, not someone who's been deceived.

 Maybe it's just that people think they can't afford doing a project on collapse!

Earning a living in some ways might seem to have no social value like trading crypto and yet some reason is why Bitcoin is the most searched word on web more than "find a local restaurant"..

People have evolved to cooperate where supercooperators won out in evolution, in a way the extra layer on top of cooperation Is against the way it was in evolution for most life....

 So people basically both cooperate because it has perceived social value yet in other ways people are uncooperative if they think they can get away with it..

 The lack of cooperation with its risk of collapse is the actual real picture in a way and it's certainly not absent.

We can imagine a world where more people were rich, and most of the opportunities for non cooperation were removed.

 Of course this might remove incentive to improve by way of the reduced risk of failure..

So it's not all bad about social anxiety.

 Other than just that it's better about being rich..

 Life is a Dance you learn as you go.. We understand it's the same as being in the wild In many respects while also with the extra prize we wouldn't have gotten the possibility of In evolution, of being rich.

So it's the extra prize That makes us feel it's at least possible we could win big and keeps us in the competition in hopes of winning the big prize. Or certainly we could say this has influence on a lot of the world.

 In reality the wildness of the behavior especially about money that we often see is the real truth, and Supercooperation is actually not as real or viable and so we have two opposites  one of which is false.

Of the two I would tend to favor millions of billions of years of evolution.

 So I think we can't just ignore what the boss says.

Even so I think it will be better if we can find ways to make the reality fit the dream more often instead of the dream fitting the reality.

One way to achieve this will be when the truth sensors like MRI get strong enough and perhaps portable so they can more reliably say what's really going on.

 

One way to improve it obviously will be to earn more money, and another way "if you're working on your second million but you unsaved your 100,000!" might be by way of my idea about the future of AR Augmented Reality. By this we put on our headset that makes it so we can't hear the boss yelling so loud, what did Edison know or hear, what did he Say?

SOLVE CONVERSATIONAL DISTRACTIONS;

....Conversational destractions are costing the economy 57% of its money, so the secret way of how noise and other distractions are causing the risk of loss, may be valuable to counteract.

On my post I'll show you how make the best AN I've seen (better than r36 for speech) by cheap simple methods, and also how I think the main future about this may not be in visual but an audio AR.

Once you find a good way to stop the distractions including conversation and then replace it with the software which takes the words and changes them into the more positive words you might want like the boss yelling, but not chronically this may be helpful e.g. for weight control..

 This may be really valuable to our economy and to yours also I would say by this, the real future of AR I think. (Of course visual AR has value but visual distractions aren't costing the economy the most money.)

 Audio AR and AN like this may essentially have value for brain health for people, and this is the real reason that I believe that the future of AR maybe mostly in actually audio AR.

 Somebody says something to you and you're not reminded of how they've tried to be unsavory, but instead the machine takes this punch and helps you roll with it by both removing the bad word and also giving you suggestions to you about how you might reply that may be witty brilliant, or comedy so much of it is!

 You may have heard of   magazine articled they used to have, Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions. Well actually now they have computers that swap jokes and another software that swaps insults.

 I think mostly the best way to improve about conversational distractions may not be taking risks like this but just by simply giving brains a rest from all the random sound around them.

 Only the rich can afford peace and quiet now it's been said and also the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer and I think this is indeed because of conversational destractions.

 Finally want to say one more thing about the above article in Discover magazine.

 Allison Whitten the author, notes it's such a shame we can't go back in time and find what was going on in prehistoric events in hopes of resolution of some of these hopeful causes of Social Anxiety-right!

There's an old Asian folk saying If there's a problem, somewhere there must be a solution.

Mathematicians have classified problems and supposedly any computer given enough time can solve  any problem.

 Even the same mathematicians have made lists of other related unsolvable types of problems.

 Here we may get lots and lots more time for this one at any rate!

 Why?

It might seem at first glance that this is one of the unsolvable problems on the shelf about finding out about these prehistoric events.

 However I can think of a way based on brain physiology.

 It was found in the lab in the 1920s that every neuron in your brain contains the entire memory of the whole brain. This based on the evidence of science and I think we might be able to use it to essentially just find old neurons and use sensors like MRI to find the evidence in those old neurons about stuff like this including lots of historical events supposedly gone from history that we couldn't before..   For example we could try to find what ancient music sounded like..

 The vast majority of the history of music has been lost supposedly, and we could find perhaps evidence about every major event in history and huge amounts of other data from "prehistoric" neurons (which would no longer be so.)

In my research I was inspired by one more idea, that we might use lasers from low energy that converge to a point and then back out to the sensor on the other side to sense these events and this might make a really good substitute for MRI brain scans because it could be much cheaper, portable and also of much higher resolution because it uses lasers instead of magnetic fields.

 How does the laser light more safely sense the neurons? A proposal on the shelf is that the lasers converge enough to sense the neurons but not so much they harm them.

It's believed that we could also use this as a sensor for food to find and remove toxins almost in real time..

 This may be of special import for the future of food processing technology, because it's been noted antibiotics may fail to remove pathogens in a general collapse of the food processing business otherwise..
