Fracking Explained.

We are amazed at the plasticity of the human brain as it rewires itself after some traumatic injury. This is though just its normal process. It is constantly rewiring from each and every experience. That’s why we call it ‘our experience.’ Our workplace is a very strong mutual experience and our brains will rewire mutually in the same way we might talk about last night’s TV as a mutual experience, and as social animals we tend to some agreement. Because of this we subtly but substantially think differently at work to how we think as home. We put a hat on as a professional engineer, politician, salesperson etc. What in one’s workplace appears experience and expertise, even wisdom, can appear to those outside the workplace as collusion, partiality and sometimes even downright stupidity. But in this mutually rewired state the workplace brain sees everything as perfectly cogent and reinforced by mutual agreement. OK now those with the power to make things happen must almost by definition work in a large political or corporate institution with a commensurately high level of mutual rewiring. Corporate rewiring, where one works and thinks towards the ends of the corporation doesn’t include a consideration of the requirements of life because a corporate body, though energetic, is not a living thing. Similarly a politically rewired brain can and has considered mutually assured destruction as a practical solution. With a political need for energy and a corporate desire for financial profit this rewiring becomes evident to all but those rewired by the institutions they work in. To pump toxic chemicals into the earth releasing hazardous materials into our water and air to get energy that will cause climate change is a threat to life in numerous ways but makes perfect sense if your main concern is a political solution or corporate profit. Our problem is not fracking but the rewired brains of those who can even consider it. I don’t consider them mad, bad or unintelligent, but rather that the plasticity of the human brain can and will rewire itself to conform to the mutual experience of groups, and that should those groups be concerned with power or profit the outcomes of their mutual actions will harm the life and happiness of those they affect.
