Belief/Disbelief
As I've said before I don't really have the knack of believing anything - but that goes two ways, so I don't really disbelieve anything, either. I'm not saying it's good - or that I'm trying to be this way. I'm not trying at all, and it just is what it is. I've started wondering what the purpose or function of belief is in the natural world.
It's hard for me to identify, truthfully. Is it limited to human beings? If I see a herd of poor dairy cows, their udders almost dragging on the ground, packed up by a gate lowing for the farmer because it's their milking time and they are in pain - would one say that they believe the farmer is going to come and escort them into the barn? If not, then what would you say - that simple habit and learned animal response after the fashion of Pavlov's dogs causes them to assemble in that spot? I can't know what cows think, so I'd better stick to human beings - not that we are much more understandable.
To be continued (for no reason).

I have decided to opn;y believe things that make sense to me... unless they are fun.
God & stuff makes no sense and is a right old ball-ache. Double fail!
Parallel universes makes only a little sense but seems fun. Yer in!
See, it's easy when you don't care :)

2 things:
1. you don't have belief, you don't have disbelief, you don't have both and you don't have neither.
2. apparently when a cat or dog is begging their person for food, they are not asking to be fed, they are attempting to get food for theirself, using actions that have worked in the past.
3. conditioned response is like #2 and belief is different. (of the mind not the body?)
4. i lied when i said 2 things. did you believe me?
5. it is important to care, whatever the case.
