A Trial to Find Fundamentals of Humans
How could the human brain have developed into a spirit that supports intelligent behavior? Is it inevitable that the light of intelligence illuminates the activated closed mass of life? In the flow of various developments of life, the main-stream has become acting as the subject holding with the sensory organs and complex organizational brain, and it has gained intelligence. Until that, the more diverse the developed form of brain, the more complex life activities became functional. Although such complexities made life confusing and wasteful, ones overcame the difficulties stepped up more higher beings. Through trial and error in the complex functions and tissues, human intelligence was generated in the process of deepening the cooperation between nerve cells.
What affected and created a path to intelligence in the living mass of activation?
Regarding as a function of the body, the expression of intelligence is achieved by combining and aggregating a large number of nerve cells in the brain. However, the brain cells do not simply aggregate, but internal power works there to appear subjective center, so humans got aware of clear self-consciousness and beyond the stage of living things. A change in consciousness related to the recognition as a subject occurred in human beings. And, introspection happened with a clear awareness of the self. This intelligence emanates in the direction of diverse complications of brain cells. The power to activate the inner area is characteristically working there.
I think from this trend that the direction to cope with complications made a large number of brain cells gather together forming a cohesive unit and organization, and the entire cells has been enhanced the ability to reflect on. By exploring the relationship between this population of brain cells and occurring the mind that controls their cohesion, we may discover important hidden functions.
Humans with a developed cerebrum have the ability to introspect the causal relationship of their behavior, rather than simply learning and remembering. A mindful person does not just live everyday indiscriminately, but lives intellectually thinking about efficiency and improvement while trying to remember. And the intellect not only adapts efficiently to the surroundings, but also reflects on the future and acts judging based on conscience. These functions are mainly controlled by the area called neocortex. However, the brain is not only the neocortex, and the body is not only the brain. Various organizations are intertwined, and it is structured so that we can live without any trouble by selecting necessary information and controlling the function of the body as a whole. Life makes a judgment somewhere whether it is useful or useless for itself, and autonomously takes in or cuts off information received from the outside. We unknowingly recognize only what we need and exclude what we don't. It may be more of a basic direction of life than an advanced feature of the brain. There is the power to work in hiding in the flow of life, transforming it into a complex organization associated with a view of future.
Expression of intelligence in individuals
Considering the basics of life, the mass is composed of basic substances called atoms. Substances such as atoms and molecules have the property of gathering together to form a mass due to the force of pulling each other. Considering proteins, which are the basic substances of life, simple amino acids take time to form extremely complex macromolecules. Various functions occur due to the small differences in the structure of proteins, and it is a complex tissue that operates autonomously called life. The mass that made up a complex tissue centered on proteins became a human form and gave rise to intelligence. The process leading up to this point is beyond our current recognition, and it is probably the original flow of matter in the universe. In the flow of life, one organism has flexibly responded in complicated directions while maintaining a causal relationship that reacts in a complicated manner inside, which autonomous relationships react intricately within it.
Heredity is a function that supports its continuation and development. Some of them may have various changes on the basis of hereditary individual formation, and life beings are adding information and moving in a complicated direction. If there is no pressure on laziness or stagnation, life will absorb changes and motivate to move forward. If the trial and error effort is successful, it will lead to a step up in the stage. Humans have a mass of complicating brain cells and establishing a clear self-consciousness. And, individual human beings have the potential for various changes.
The work of intellectual function occurred in the flexibility that was provided from the beginning of life, including the physical functions that develop the brain system and the autonomous reactions that sustain life. Originally, activities that concentrate only on living manner have evolved into actions based on diverse desires developing brain.
Rather than regressing over time, the power of life is working to make the species progress and improve, as if it already set. In that case, we will continue to overcome the next complexity and open the way for the future. Beyond that, we realize that there is one form in which intellectual life develops in collective activities. In coordinating as a group or organization, there is an action from the urge to stick to one's role.
Expression of intelligence in a population
A human being is supported by dozens of trillions of cells carrying the same gene, which are organized to organically gather and organize to maintain overall order. Its foundation has the basic functions that support living individuals, and it is a complex tissue that effectively combines sensory organs, muscles, circulation, immune functions, and the nervous system. In order to sustain the activation of complex living body, it is necessary to constantly carry out the chemical reactions that lubricate them in order and circulate energy. The well-balanced control of all such complex reactions is achieved by the power of a population that centrally functions in the life of many cells. The organization of life forms a layered structure in which basic cells are gathered to form a cohesive unit, and the tissues included many units are gathered to become a higher-level organization. Similarly, humans are not individual, but within family, peers or social organizations, acting in groups. Even in human populations, rather than meaningless placement, some organic aggregation should be necessary to maintain activation in a continuous direction.
However, in the case of a human group, unlike cells, there is no physicochemical interaction, but the connection between the minds, that is, the group of minds into a set of spirit. Humans as individuals cannot stand alone in early childhood and require family and guardians, even if born as an individual. Growth is possible by having relationships with the people around. Then, the person himself/herself is unaware that his/her thoughts are formed in the group. Whether or not to match the purpose and direction of the group depends on the individuality of the person, but his/her trend is influenced by the movement of the group even if he/she has the individuality as a human subject.
Communication in a group is mainly mediated by words. However, there are things that can be conveyed not only by words but also by facial expressions and body movements. You feel something that cannot be conveyed by words alone, when you feel enthusiasm, empathy, or antipathy of others. Even when others blame you, sometimes you feel attacked and repel, and sometimes you obediently reflect on yourself and try to improve. In a group, we not only become aware of ourselves, but also consider our position from thinking both a subjective and objective standpoint. You will learn morals and ethics such as judgment of right and wrong from the life to collaborate with your friends, and your conscience will be nurtured in the group. Desires diversify in groups and the individuals who support them.
Actions such as individual introspection and judgment choices are involved in a group of individual thoughts. Even if it is an individual subjective thing, if it is in the future direction for the group, it will be aggregated and form the characteristics of the group with the consent of most people. It becomes a clear form within the group and begins to affect the whole. A spiritually concentrated group leads to developments that affect the future. Intelligence arises where the mind cooperates in the group. Here, new intelligence arises in the direction in which the connections of the mind within the group are concentrated. The life power is hidden here as well.
Considerations
How is the future of human intelligence predicted? In individual human beings, the cells that make up the brain are aggregated to give rise to the mind and spirit. The hidden forces underlying that flow cannot yet rely on scientific analysis of objective events. It may be necessary to raise individual awareness, at least until we can grasp areas such as truth that transcends time and space. Still, the hidden power behind life, including us, is working in a direction of complexity toward the future. Steering for the future will proceed without our knowledge. We can only see the immediate future. Actually, we are supported by an autonomous organization of life that we are not aware of.
Many cell populations that maintain the activation of life carry the same gene and synchronize with the overall behavior of the individual. They are organized in an altruistic manner with respect to the subjects that make up the whole, even if each cell is individually closed. In the case of humans, altruism occurs within a group. We act altruistically based on the relationship between parents and children in the family, compassion for group members, and so on. As the development of altruistic behavior, individualities can be activated and complicate the nature of the human population. The power that works there will consolidate the individual spirits in the direction of rising.
What involves a mass of humans as a whole, it will be said that it is a mass in which each spirit is integrated. It's like a group of brain cells. The group of individual spirits becomes the spirit of the group, and the aggregated spirit influences each individual. Modern human groups have various characteristics depending on the purpose of the group, such as ethnicity, political economy, work and company organization, hobbies and religion. In this case, it is simply a group that acts in the same direction according to past customs and conventions. However, considering the direction toward the future, intelligent human beings will need to take the stage of new characteristics as a group by consolidating their spirits. We will think not only about accomplishing the purpose defined by the group, but also about whether the group spirit that is concentrated forms new characteristics for the future.
I think that the group collected here is not for economic gain or forcing the individual, but for the individual spirit to resonate with the whole in harmony with the hidden forces at the root of life. It needs altruism. If there is only the pursuit of the profits of the upper layers of the group, or the imposition of one-sided empathy from top to bottom, it is slavery, aggregation with selfishness forces. If the action toward the purpose is not in line with the flow of life, the mental concentration will not continue. There is a need for sympathy for being united as altruism. It's not just verbal empathy. Words are a connection of symbols and sounds, and are necessary tools for human understanding. Words are using to share the same meaning in the group, and they convey consent, repulsion, and empathy with colleagues. But the problem is how you understand what you receive in words. People do not always understand the same meaning each other, and it can be a manipulation of the individual situation of the mind.
When an individual has a causal relationship within a group, we are conscious of calmly analyzing both selfishness and altruism in the standpoint of objective and subjective. That is, we can have a bird's-eye view of our actions to think our future. It should lead to awareness of spirit beyond language. I feel the way to the future in human intelligence. I think that future human beings have a direction in which their minds are concentrated in the spirit of a group, and the direction in which they proceed as a group indicates the shape of the future. Because the same force works in the aggregation of life things. The idea that this direction of force is something that is far from sticking to words and theories, but that is felt by the intuition of living things.
There is something like the force of will that goes beyond causal relationship across time and space as a bird's-eye view of the whole. We, humans have a sense of self-consciousness that clarifies one's position with respect to it. It should lead to awareness of cooperation that transcends language communication. I think there will be a way to open up and complicate the intellect that humans are heading for.
