Side effects

Our brains are interesting for their side effects. The brains have side effects. They can be called exaggerating emotions. Typical exaggerated emotions are hatred and threats. We find a lot of it on the Internet. In particular women are victims of net hatred and net threats. What did the women do that caused these strong reactions? Usually they did not do anything in particular. The strong reactions are a brain phenomenon. It is certainly not new. One hundred years ago they caused the first world war. People were enthusiastic about it, as a start. We can learn to live with exaggerated emotional reactions, but now and then new triggering factors appear. Internet seems to be such a factor. Internet gives a lot of information in the open, information that has existed for long but in hiding. When it becomes open it starts the exaggerated process. This is irrational, of course. The world did not become a worse place just because these informations became known to more individuals. We have to learn to live with more information than humanity ever have had access to. These days we hear about the methods of NSA in USA. We ask: What will it lead to? One outcome could be tiredness. If we had to study in detail the lives of 300 million individuals we would probably become tired and stop seeing individual differences. We are not that different even if the dates differ. The dates of birth, marriage and death. A more problematic development would be if the new information is accepted to feed the side effects of the brain, and thus be new causes for fear, hatred and threats.
