Scrupulous research has been undertaken and the results are in. Study after study continues to reveal the facts and there can be no arguing with these objective findings. The carefully tested methodologies definitively outline the truth about what remains of the human nervous system. While pitiful, the conclusions are not likely to surprise.

That rudimentary collection of delicate cables containing impulses, emotion, and instinct was not appropriately trained. For centuries, we neglected the opportunity to appropriately calibrate the tool at our disposal. Instead of applying our numerous advances in service to determining the optimal conditions for these embodied artifacts we let the whole thing atrophy. We catered to the discomfort, indulged the senses, coddled our emotions, and the nervous system became weak and useless – a clear vulnerability.

As perpetual adaptors we grew beyond and have, with some fits and starts, overcome our need for the signals the outdated monitoring system continues to transmit. What we have now learned, through trial and science, is how we can master what remains of the nervous system. In our previous folly and sensitivity we strove for peace. Disinformation and falsified sciences postulated that a state of peace was the chief goal. The phony logic reasoned that when the nervous system was in a state of peace, humanity could flourish. A dogmatic zeal prevailed, demanding society to bow to this belief and admit that only peace could produce progress, art, innovation.

Thankfully, for the benefit of all humanity, we could not blindly accept such an obtuse virtue. We demonstrated, with tremendous precision and creativity, that peace is merely a catalyst for optimizing the nervous system. We intelligently tested new theories and the outcome is now clearly evident that we were right, our efforts were an extraordinary success.

To truly master what remains of the nervous system, peace should be treated like a medication. It should be handled with care and entrusted to skillful hands because the difference between medicine in poison is in its application. Peace should be utilized intentionally and as a form of intermittent reinforcement. The reality is we squandered the resource we had back when the nervous system was fully in tact. What we’ve generously demonstrated is that the human nervous system, and what remains of it, is actually most finely attenuated under conditions of strain, panic, and dread along with brief and enticing interludes of peace.

Peace, in this great revelation, is quite different than that archaic and overwrought way it was previously considered. We now administer the prescribed dosage of peace as an interruption to the deluge of other signals aimed at re-educating what remains of the nervous system. Various amounts of silence without air raid sirens filling the air can be applied – sometimes minutes, other times days or weeks to rehabituate. Cleverly planned announcements of medical breakthroughs to instill hope can be released – tailoring which type is pulled from the assembly line to fit the pathological fashion of the moment. Election of this person, party, or rise of an ideology. Ousting of this person, party, or ideology – all tactfully broadcasted to instill targeted and soothing messages for some and to reduce the toxic levels of peace in others.

To those of us who are enlightened, the sound of payloads falling a few cities over and the sight of entire countries burning on the television offer affirmation of our knowledge and this noble path. We welcome the long overdue charge to what remains of our nervous system. While others indulge their with the shedding of tears and prayers for peace, we grow stronger and listen closely to the content of their prayers so they can inform the chemical composition of the peace cocktail.
