Mega cannibalistic lol

After developing some concepts of cannibalism as a counter intuitive …. thing.
i came across this lovely site looking into some facts about how much meat you could get from the human body-

with such great quotes as….

“You will obviously want a youthful but mature physically fit human in apparently good health. A certain amount of fat is desirable as “marbling” to add a juicy, flavorful quality to the meat. We personally prefer firm caucasian females in their early twenties. These are “ripe”. But tastes vary, and it is a very large herd.”

then of course going into how to prepare it and what you need.
the sites called church of euthanasia…. that says it all really…

Counter-Intuition in Surivalism

My conceptual ideas at the moment are to look into counter-intuition on a large political scale such as for a race/culture or civilization.
Basically looking how you could go against current thinking and morality to promote economic growth or for such the above.
For brief instance you could say that not helping the elderly when they no longer serve a purpose to society would help the economy or culling disformaties within the human race would help good genetics pass on and not ailments.
In essence i would like to create a series of propaganda posters and footage for these instances. i.e helping further the human race.
I think looking at extreme versions of this such as in our time and lives kim jong-il whos dictatorship has gained absolute following by his people and some north korean propaganda speaks for itself

And alongside this other propaganda:



The whole idea of war propaganda itself can be seen as counter intuition, telling people to for example go against what they might think as right or wrong and do as the state requires. From pacifist to activist and so on..

And recently examples of this that im personally quite drawn to and like are the propaganda in the killzone games 1 and 2.

obviously i will need to deliver this as something that can be bought by the general viewer.

Counter-Intuition

A counterintuitive proposition is one that does not seem likely to be true when assessed using intuition or gut feelings.

Scientifically discovered, objective truths are often called counterintuitive when intuition, emotions, and other cognitive processes outside of deductive rationality interpret them to be wrong. However, the subjective nature of intuition limits the objectivity of what to call counterintuitive because what is counter-intuitive for one may be intuitive for another.

Flawed understanding of a problem may lead to counter-productive behavior with undesirable outcomes. In some such cases, counterintuitive policies may then produce a more desirable outcome. For example, a policy of catching large fish and throwing back small ones may be counter-productive. In response to that policy, evolutionary pressure may select for small fish. A counterintuitive improvement may be to catch only medium sized fish, leaving the biggest free to breed, creating evolutionary pressure for fish to grow quickly through the medium size.

When to decide upon your intuition?

Normally you take decisions based upon the interaction between your brain ( = the computer?), your actual senses (Sensors = eyes, ears, etc) and the conscious experiences, facts and believes, so called data (CD = Conscious Data) that are memorized (stored) in your head.

By deduction and induction your brain finally leads you to the best possible decision through interaction with these senses and data.

But there are other forms of decision making, based upon instinct or intuition.

Instinctive decisions

Our DNA has been build up and modified over a number of generations. When you where born this anchored DNA information emerges from every cell in your body and leads you on exactly the right moment to the right response. It’s generated from your subconscious, present in every cell of your body and occurs without any specific interference of your brain.
Some simple examples of human instinctive response for newborns are:

* Breathing
* Naturally swim when placed in water
* Naturally turn to suckle

Intuitive decisions

Intuitive decisions are decisions you finally take upon your ‘gut feeling’.

There are 3 types of intuitive decisions, based upon the time you have to take a decision:

1. Decision time limited to split second
In these cases (attack, fire) you take the decision on basis of your instinct (reflex), without interference of your brain.
Remember these instinct decisions are not always right. For example, if your car starts to skid or swerve, although your instinct is telling you, never slam on the breaks!.
2. Decision time in minutes
Now you take the decision upon a combination of your instinct, your senses and the nearby experiences filed in your head. Your brain combines this information and you try to take a ’sensible’ decision.
However, recent research has shown that in case of a combination of instinct and short brain interaction participants performed better when given almost no time to think.
3. Decision time in days
Just like when you have to decide in minutes, you are now even more able to think about your final decision. In this case you can take along the advices of other people (friends, professional help, foes, etc) and do some desk research to take into account some new facts.
This process of deciding leads to the “I’ve done everything I could” decision type and may include all kind of aspects such as fairness, believes and clairvoyance.
However, also in this situation decisions can turn out wrong. First of all you cannot take all the varying circumstances into account. Secondly, the logic of your Brain isn’t always right and often tightly connected to what your intuition or sum up of experiences is telling you.

Counter intuitive decisions
A good example of misleading your brain and intuition at the same time is the so called Monty Hall problem, sometimes also called ‘three door problem’.
Monthy Hall Problem

The set of Monty Hall’s game show “Let’s Make a Deal” has three closed doors. Behind one of these doors is a first prize, a car. Behind the other two doors are goats. The contestant does not know where the car is, but Monty Hall does.

The contestant picks a door and Monty opens one of the remaining doors, one he knows doesn’t hide the car. If the contestant has already chosen the correct door, Monty is equally likely to open either of the two remaining doors.
After Monty has shown a goat behind the door that he opens, the contestant is always given the option to switch doors.

What’s the contestant’s best strategy? Stay with her choice or switch to the remaining door?

The answer to this problem is simple but counterintuitive:
Switching gives you a 2/3 change of winning. Staying with your original choice a 1/3 change.

If you doubt this:

* Try it yourself by means of simulation
* Imagine there are a hundred doors, you picked one and Monty opens the 98 other doors with a goat and keeps one door closed. Would you switch now?

The shown examples make clear that intuition and logical thought are often different modes of the functioning of the brain as a whole.
Let’s conclude that it’s best to use your intuition in ’split seconds decisions’ and in cases where your reasoning, research and conversations do not lead to a convincing logical final decision.
However stay alert on the fact that even when your mind and intuition agree on a decision, the outcome can be wrong.
So, if possible, let your brain decide when to use your intuition.
