Transcript 1 (00:00 to 5:27)


(00:10) The following documentary presents new developments in neuroscience and a solution to the many current unsolved problems in physics. While it keeps clear of metaphysical correlations and is solely focused on scientifically verifiable data it also has philosophical repercussions pertaining to life, death and the origin of the universe.

Due to its many layers and density in presentation it may require multiple viewings to fully comprehend its implications even though considerable effort has been made to simplify the complex scientific concepts that are discussed.

Further more I would like to thank the author for allowing me to follow and report on his work. As he wanted to remain dedicated to his research and avoid becoming involved in its media coverage.

(1:32) The human brain is a network of approximately one hundred neurons. Different experiences create different neural connections which bring about different emotions. And depending on which neurons get stimulated certain connections become stronger and more efficient while others may become weaker. This is what’s called neuroplasticity.

Someone who trains to be a musician will create stronger neuron connections that will link the two hemispheres of the brain in order to be musically creative. Virtually any sort of talent or skill can be created through training. (?) who was a self-admitted hopeless student, used to fail at basic math. And went on to train his abilities and became a famous human calculator capable of performing extremely complex mathematics.

Rationality and emotional resilience work the same way. These are neural connections that can be strengthened. Whatever you are doing at any time you are physically modifying your brain to become better at it. Since this is such a foundational mechanism of the brain being self-aware can greatly enrich your life experience.

(2:58) Specific neurons and neuron transmitters such as norepinephrine trigger a defensive state when we fear that our thoughts have to be protected from the influence of others. If we are then confronted with differences in opinion the chemicals are released in the brain are the same ones that try to ensure our survival in dangerous situations.

In this defensive state the more primitive part of the brain interferes with rational thinking and the limbic system can knock-out most of our working memory, physically causing narrow-mindedness. (3:35)

We see this in the politics of fear, in the strategy of Poker players or simply when someone is stubborn in a discussion.

No matter how valuable an idea is the brain has trouble processing it when it is in such a state.

On a neural level it reacts as if we’re being threatened even if this threat comes from harmless opinions or facts that we may otherwise find helpful and could rationally agree with

(4:22) But when we express ourselves and our views are appreciated these defense chemicals decrease in the brain and dopamine neurotransmission activates the reward neurons making us feel empowered and increasing our self-esteem.

Our beliefs have a profound impact on our body chemistry; this is why placebo’s can be so effective. Self-esteem or self belief in closely linked to the neuro-transmitter serotonin, when the lack of it takes on severe proportions it often leads to depression, self-destructive behavior or even suicide.

Social validation increases the level of dopamine and serotonin in the brain. And allows us to let go of emotional fixations and become self aware more easily.
