Everything is interesting-find out why.

I started this blog because I lost track of another blog I had started.  It had vague questions about quantum electrodynamics in it.  My training is in chemical engineering and medicine, not physics.

Do you remember those vague hot summer vacation days when you experienced boredom at times?  Do you realize how much worse off than being bored that you could have been in that moment, and yet thankfully you were not.  You were safe.  Likely your mind turned to all kinds of physical activities that it was possible to perform with this amazing body or to all kinds of games that other inventive souls had contrived.  There are a lot of them.  Then there was the realm of the books of all kinds, every one of them very good.  Do you realize it is very hard to find a bad book?  Some may have ideas that you do not agree with.  But then one must ponder what kinds of experiences led others to formulate such ideas.  The realm of experience is much vaster than we can imagine.

I want to add to my theme with a new post.  Why is everything interesting?  Because out of all the possible outcomes of any event or experience, and there are continuums within the infinities of outcomes, one particular outcome came to claim its stead and take its place.  It had to have a set up in many ways, particular planet, particular place on that planet, particular time in the history of that planet, particular climate, particular Homo sapiens or individual or other species or non Homo sapiens sentient, particular culture, particular states of neurons in individual, and all of these influences interacting, some strong, some weak, some subconscious to achieve what becomes an experience.  The experience will have a kind of coloring based on the painful and pleasant aspects that presented.  The culture of the person exerted its effects, the conscience of the person exerted its effects, the ambient temperature and climate exerted effects to produce something that was  a piece of work of magic, terrible or unendurable pain, utterly non-stimulating boredom, or many other states.  Of all of the limbic system states the one most teachable moment involved the painful experience.  Whatever happened, the individual is served by that and carries effects of that happening for the remainder of life.  As the years tally up the experiences have a drastic lasting effect.

Now this is interesting for one reason because it is possible to postulate or imagine other more desireable and less desireable outcomes, to one's benefit or detriment.  The individual is unique and no other being had the exact same set of inputs and delivered the same outputs as another individual and the experiencer is left with seeing the outcome.  It is a beautiful thing to do to a human cortex in most instances and I think that our Creator sees it that way.  But it is not just this that makes it interesting...
