some people that aren't these extreme adventure sport athletes well the same can go for mania if mania is sort of a flow state can one bring some of those elements into one's daily life to be more flowy in daily life instead of just following into the cycle of depression and then not taking anything of value from the mania I feel like if something's taken and practiced then maybe the depression won't happen so much I also had a thought that it seems that there is an evolutionary force that's trying to shut down the prefrontal cortex so mania addictions schizophrenia you know probably various mental until illnesses shut down the prefrontal cortex which is the me the linear thinking the sense of separation and then there's a lot of movement consciously to shut it down through mindfulness through meditation through yoga through so many things that people are doing on a daily basis to shut it down and in terms of the flow state that shot sit down so flow is so great like why do we need this prefrontal cortex at all where do we get it from one of my questions is why do we condition kids out of their flow because I feel they're in flow when they're born to a certain point when they go to school and I learn the rules and they learn this and they learn the judgments and they learn how to measure themselves again and compare and then here goes the yammering voice yadi yadi yadi why do we give people why do we get children that voice at all and then we cradles hoopla and self-help and even this if this research about flow be like wow it's so amazingly flow right flow we got to be in flow well we were in flow when we were kids so why do we keep giving our kids this why are we allowing them to inherit this why do we keep going on with this and then interestingly enough I don't know much about the neuroanatomy or neurophysiology or neuro electricity or neurobiology of autism but I'm guessing that there's something ask you with the prefrontal cortex which is the me which is the thinking which is the reasoning which is the rationality which is the judgment which is the words which is the language why are such a large percentage of children acquiring or whatever happens of course there's lots of debate about why there's so many children that are autistic or on the spectrum they're not picking up language I feel that language is actually the problem we're talking about old genetics of this and genetics of that I mentioned in another video is really the memes it's the memetics it's the words we're poisoning each other with our words and now there's a generation of children being born or it's been going on for a while and I think it'll only get worse that are not able to pick up the language in the same way something that you know 20 years ago was taken for granted that a child would just pick up language now all of a sudden there's a whole profession and so many people trained on how to intervene to shove language down these children's throats who can't acquire it and we never questioned the words themselves we never questioned what it is we're trying to force them to acquire and I feel like the prefrontal cortex is on its way out through people going through these spontaneous crises and transformations and not being steady state and so many people meditating there's so many people trying to get rid of the very thing that we're trying to impress upon these autistic children and I'm not trying to say don't teach them language I'm just it's just very sad and interesting to me that I feel autism is evolutionary as well just like mental health and mania and this energy coming up through people in mania and in another video I talked about the spontaneous social behaviors that will stave off extinction and I feel a lot of those are expressed or someone in mania with their hyper altruism and sort of dissipate it out to the multitude and then the person crashes and instead of seeing them as sort of a hero temporary hero in a way they're seen as ill
