We act dumb:

 We chase happiness, something which shouldn't be the ultimate goal. We get stressed over things that don't matter. We refuse to think critically (which is actually just to think). Most people can't even do basic math. We listen and vote for people who don't have our best interest at heart and who are not very intelligent or good at forming solid arguments. We stupidly illegalized a class of drugs which tremendous amounts of evidence suggests has extraordinary potential for healing. We think our individual schema of something has the power to change the collective view without making a good case for why our schema is right. 


More often than not, we act more like monkeys than humans.

It may go all the way back to the person's grandfather/mother, or even further than that. It simply depends on to what degree the disorder is a result of genetic/physiological susceptibility and to what degree environmental factors played a role. Fifth, replace the central false belief with the equivalent truth. If the pathology is environmentally induced, hypnosis appears to be the technique with the greatest capacity to alter the structure of the psyche. It is, as far as I can tell, almost certainly and almost always, the best tool for this task. The reason being is because it allows the sub...
