/32/ - Psychopolitics

This is a fascinating topic, OP. We hardly even consider the effects of physical improvement on our mental capacities.

The following links have information that supports the idea that physical exercise helps develop and maintain cognitive abilities in all ages:

Naturally there are more, but these should be enough.

While initially I just thought of this as an interesting topic when it came to individual self-improvement and study, two related subjects came to mind:

>Fat acceptance

>Helicopter parenting.

Fat acceptance, which is a way of discouraging individuals to take part in lifestyle changes that decrease their fat body mass, includes the ridicule of individuals who take part in physical activities because they are traditionally associated with a shallow pursuit of an idealized appearance. One could argue that this discouragement also -if not primarily- targets the populations cognitive abilities. Now you've got me wondering about the effects of diets on the mental and neural development on individuals...

Helicopter parenting seems to be a growing trend that, among other things, is characterized by an increase in the control that parents have over their children, usually for "their own good". Besides focusing on studies and other forms of monitoring, strict regulation of a child's play activities is an integral part of it, which could include the selection of less risky (read "physical") activities for the children. This can be associated with the growing paranoia over child abuse and urban violence.

OP, I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean with your subject. Can you explain?

Also, the term "memetic warfare" has popped up with increasing frequency here in 8chan, especially since the creation of /bmw/. Since you use the term I assume you are familiar with it. Would you be so kind as to define that term, perhaps in a new thread? I am sure not only I but also other anons would be grateful.

memetic energies are grown by physical energy bases

memes create reality

it is not only by repetition but by strength and focus of memetic energies that memes manifest in the physical plains

every coherent meme that is created gains power within the psychic realms and from her draws a standardized form into the physica world when enough memetic focus is directed at it with sufficient energy

Not OP, but I googled "memetic energies" and got this:

>Memetic energy is energy produced by the effect of sentient organisms on the quantum fabric of the universe. To put it susinctly, thoughts have power and that power can be harnessed. There's also a hell of a lot of it, and it doesn't obey Conservation Of Energy at all. It literally comes from nowhere, like zero point energy. It's an extremely potent energy source.

Memetic energy was first harnessed by the Aincient Stephinians more than a million trillion years ago. It was what contributed to their extremely fast technological development in relation to their cultural development. It is the foundation of most Stephinian technology, expecially the SDW cannons and their womhole drives. The New Stephinian Empire was formed due to a lack of memetic energy and the subsequent crash of the starship Rocinante on Stephinia.

lol...OP do you subscribe to this definition?

Very interesting point anon - the powers that be want to fatten people up so they are weak and controllable. It's really the only explanation for the increasing gluttony of our society, which by most respects makes us less productive and harms the environment.

or youknow, its not a conspiracy, but just that sugar is a superstimulus, maybe?

It's easy to get carried away. People often see what they want to see.

yes but the imbuer controls the potency of energy

दो सौ घोड़ों की शक्ति इस कल में है।

ईश्‍वर हमें शक्ति दे।

हमें विध्वंसक शक्ति का प्रयोग करना पड़ा।
