How to make your child a genius
This is a little idea I just had to write - a sort of tribute to the memory of Charles Darwin.
This is a little idea I just had to write - a sort of tribute to the memory of Charles Darwin.
I live in Shrewsbury, where Charles came from, and the town is full of little things reminding us about that. This year it is both 200 years since he was born and 150 years since "The Origin of Species" was published.
Have you heard of Quantum computers? Well whether you have or not I am afraid I shall be starting here.
There are lots of things in logic that are either true or false, but to which we do not know the answer.
We could of course examine everything from both points of view. However once there are, say, 32 important things we do not know there are four billion points of view states to examine, so this becomes rather tedious.
The idea of the quantum computer is that it may examine everything from all points of view at once because inside the quantum computer all logic states are both true and false at the same time.
Actually that is not completely true. As soon as we ask the quantum computer to do something that may be observed from without itself the uncertainty must collapse in that instant that it acts in a way that may be observed. So we think "ah ha, once we have a quantum computer we will no longer need Sherlock Holmes, because then we can solve any problem". So imagine that the quantum computer could really be made and it was presented with the 32 unknowns true or false logic environment. Then within that uncertainty environment we ask this "Hal" to solve a problem relating to a large number of known facts that are definite hard evidence. The computer would be like Douglas Adams "deep thought" wouldn't it? It would consider the problem for a few years and then report certainty to us.
What it would report is four billion answers and state that all are correct depending upon your point of view. The computer will tell you that for every point of view you have, it has the perfect solution for you. If we interrupted the computer at any point and demanded an answer immediately it would just spit out that answer from a single frozen random sate of 32 randomly chosen decisions about the unknowns, but we can all do that too. So no, unless it is an evil ponzi scheme you are running yourself, invest in no company trying to build quantum computers.
Well I am very sorry to scare you but we all have a quantum computer in our subconscious minds. Every time we tell ourselves that we do not know an important true false type answer our subconscious mind is programmed to have a quantum for that unknown. Subconsciously everything we examine in future will be examined in both logical true and false state simultaneously. However we find it too distressing to think with too many quanta in our brains at once. To prevent uncertainty from driving us mad we decide with logic or conscious arbitrary choice to assert many things as certain to the subconscious mind. At the genius thinking level we must allow the mind only one or very few quanta at a time. If we start to go mad from too much uncertainty and we do nothing conscious about that then the inner brain will prevent madness by removing quanta and replacing those quanta with randomly elected certainties. As the choice that the inner brain will chose is random this random total personal position may make us seem mad to everybody else indeed, that is if we get an unlucky set of dice throws there.
Where we consciously elect a set of choices to the subconscious mind that are at too great a variance with our fellow humans they will hold us mad. So because we tend to want love, companionship and protection from groups and crowds we tend to think (elect choices) that harmonize with other peoples choices. In other words we have a tendency to let others do our thinking for us. There is a tendency for humans and animals to try to think as a crowd and from within the crowd. It is very easy to manipulate crowds because a crowd does not actually think, a crowd just reacts to external impulses. A crowd of intelligent humans may behave as a single mad individual depending upon how the crowd is being manipulated. Stunning recent examples of crowd madness are the whole "city of London", the Bank of England (in respect of city problems) and the government of the United Kingdom (in respect of long term currency management). A more focused example with now more certainly proven thesis of madness because of provable death due to madness would be Enron Corporation.
So the first law of having your child become a genius is the command to the child's conscious and subconscious mind to permanently assert for itself that crowd thinking will never be followed, but may be critically examined for logic, truth, error and illogic.
Every time we force ourselves to make a decision it happens in an instant. We very briefly achieve subconscious certainty about all logical matters; it is a kind of self hypnosis. In quantum mechanics terms we force the mind to examine the quanta and have it's state collapse to fixed certainty just briefly for the moment of choice. The answer for us emerges from the subconscious mind as an emotional impulse of choice. So suppose we were only half certain of a particular factor. When the decision is made, the relevant unknown factor may no longer be fuzzy in our subconscious minds. Because the subconscious mind had no indication from you which of the two unknown sates you preferred it just allows the quanta to collapse at random to one state or the other. So if we do not have preferences stated to the subconscious mind it chooses logical state at random upon the command to the inner self to elect choice. So where we go about life in any way uncertain as to matters important to us and without consciously asserted trial certainties, those choices we make are random with respect to the unknown and no-preference but nevertheless, important factors.
So the second law of having your child become a genius is to command the child's conscious and subconscious mind to find out what is most important first and the child to make it's own mind up about that and establish certainty for the self before moving on to consider lesser matters.
I think most parents would agree that in helping the child to develop quickly it is very important to lead them to realize quickly what the most important things in life are and help them see good choices from life examples and history. I have a list of seven binary choices that I would direct any child of mine to choose at a very early stage in their development. My list may not agree with the readers list but just to keep my flow I will give you my seven here:
To be human or animal.
To be male or female.
To be sexual or asexual.
To be gentleperson or beast.
To be free person or slave
To have feelings rule intelligence or the reverse.
To believe or not believe in God
So if you met a young man who could be described as: "An intensely human, masculine, sexual, gentleman who was passionate about freedom, was ruled by his conscience and believed in God." Would you like him? Well I would, so that would be my ideal, but if the same were an atheist one might like him no less.
I found myself that after my marriage broke up four years ago that I was nervous about talking to women. It was merely from finding out how to put this right from such sources as dating advice books that I re-discovered for myself how important these choices are in any person and I also happened upon the concept that they are binary choices and any uncertainty about them is self destructive.
Each human brain contains roughly the same amount of grey matter. There is no such thing as stupid or clever it is all in the mind. To be a genius is to know oneself and then command the subconscious utterly programmable but potentially lazy and hypnotized inner mind to be no longer lazy, and to be no longer hypnotized, but to assert genius.
Where a person has made choices and decisions in the past from a position of any false assumption or any randomly quantum mind selected unknown about the truth, any tendency to describe the self in terms of the self's past is potentially lethal. So for instance suppose a young person had an unhappy love affair, then after that there was a gradual subconscious and conscious healing process. Suppose as part of that unaided process the subconscious or conscious mind was unable to reconcile certain things and there became asserted the logic "all lovers are bad" or "I am unable to be a good lover". Then subsequently to that we observed that the young person had never had another love affair, we would understand exactly why of course. The life of that young person from that point forward from those false internal assertions is self justified as lover-less. The person then develops in other ways that are good and wishes to see themselves as only good and justify them selves. The person can then develop a huge personal investment in the assertion that the false assertions about the self's lack of capabilities (in this case to find or be a good lover) are good for them because they justify their own life.
The false assertions of "right to be lover-less" are under active and constant attack by the primordial instinct to be a lover and that something inside the soul is deeply wrong. The false assertions require preservation to prevent this natural destruction. So the fear of facing past errors is taken up to power a narcissistic loop of self hatred that constantly feeds the false self destructive assertions from damage by primordial instincts. To break out of the loop is just to find the courage to assert that past errors are in the past and to consciously command the inner self to stop fearing facing up to past error and assert that one is really a genius lover. This is really a command to the inner self to stop hating self and love self instead.
So I come to my third and final law of having your child become a genius and that is to command the child's conscious and subconscious mind to realize that all inabilities to do anything we truly want to do are powered solely from a willful and self destructive lack of belief in the truth that we are all natural geniuses at anything we really want to do.
Of course I seem to speak to parents only and that is true, but as you are an adult yourself you are your own parent now also, so if you do not feel like a genius just yet will you please get on with it because this country is dying from the madness of crowds and is suffocating in crowd think.
Political footnote: The crowd think in relating to the financial management of the United Kingdom relates to narcissistic self justification of logical thinking errors that were imposed upon these crowds by manipulation in about 1910, but the existence of a lender of last resort is itself manipulated crowd think error with routes in the South Sea bubble or before that. No living person could now bear any personal culpability for that crowd manipulation. There is no implied criticism of existing political leaders as individuals except that they continue to think as crowds in cabinet and political parties and from there to attempt to solve difficult national management problems by manipulating the crowd instead of speaking to individuals of the need to acknowledge past national error.
The crowd will never realize error because it has no soul and may freely choose a more comfortable manipulator who tells them an easy listening tale. Civilization will self destruct under natural law if nothing is done soon.
