On Mental Health
I think the recent increase in mental health disorders comes from the fact of “Mental Health” really being a single sample of “Social Health”, where each mind in the hive has their health standards set by the hive as a whole or those closest to them in the nest. Even the word “health” itself is a relative term and originally means “related to a whole”. The hive tells you that you’re depressed. The hive says your state is not normal, is good or bad. Social norms determine the mental norms your mental health is measured against.
On Harmonies
Harmonies signal resonance with the universe. They create the greatest sounds in music. They create the best culinary dishes. They are the essence of experiential delight. They guide evolutionary mutation. They take many forms and can be cross-border (interharmonics) or in-border (intraharmonics). Many exist well outside what we’re able to perceive in our perceptual bubble. They trigger the Gestalt.
