Parliament and law making

The upper house usually consists of eminent persons from society. They are knowable persons from society capable of being law gives. The law making process should start from upper house. These laws should be laws that goes to the root of society not things like how to collect tax. This type of shallow laws should be the responsibility of lower house.
After laws are made from upper house to be democratic to should go to lower house. But lower house can either pass it or delay it, with maximum delay is the term of the house. The first responsibility of the newly elected lower house is to consider these delayed legislation.
Unfortunately the current systems are other way round. In such systems majority always crush the will of minorities. If such a change is possible we can have the will of all instead of will of majority. This might be a solution for the internal strifes in countries.

conceptualization

First a set of ideas forming in the brain will be classed together loosely because we see some connection between the ideas.
Secondly a word, sometimes we create the word or some word already in use, will be connected to these set of ideas.
Then a proper concept is made. You will start to see the light in the end of the tunnel.
The other method is not as productive as this, someone give you the word first and then explain the meaning of it. You may get the concept but not so firmly as the first method.
By the first method you will expand the meaning of the word.

Arrow of time

It is accepted the arrow of time direction from past to future cannot be proved by any concept of physics except entropy. Concept of entropy is a statistical one.

My contention is that arrow of time is a concept created by our brain. Take two astronomical happenings like the big bang and creation of the solar system. Which happened first? We say big bang. How come we know it happened first? There's no proof except our understanding.

Brain and symmetries

Human brain is bent on finding generalities, similarities, symmetries , equal parts, things that balance or repeated in imperial inputs.

Another speciality of it is it's ability to shed information in order to achieve it.

The result is, almost always the picture in the brain is not the complete picture.

This shedding is important without it we will never achieve our knowledge.

Finding patterns may go as deep as explaining elementary particles like electron, photon or even quarks.

It is a known fact that there are large number of electrons in the universe. Each electron is a compression of some data and there are similarities between all electrons and what we see as a electron is the compressed data bundle. It will be easy to explain how an electron goes through two spate windows at the same instant.

The problem of time can be explained as an illusion created by human brain.

Data compression is knowledge

Is knowledge the activity of compressing data?

Finding out cemeteries, repetitions, similarities and links of data is very much connected to compressing of data.

If the human brains are hardwired to find algorithms to compress data this process will lead arranging and rearranging data to form compressed pictures data.

Knowledge is the same.

Suppose our brains have a single aim that is comprising data, knowledge is the result.

Take the example of capital city of countries. London is capital of England, Paris is capital of France and Moscow is capital of Russia.
The number of elementary data is 9. With the concept of capital it is reduced to 7. So the concept is a method of compressing data.

Language is a form of data compression. However it is not a lossless data compression. When you use language you lose some data. When my wife ask me to eat she say "don't you eat" when she ask the cat the same question she say "eat". It some times confuses me. But when it happen serial times I learn to understand the difference.

This is the same thing when Wittgenstein says you can't say it but you can show it. In showing we see all the data, when you say it using a language you make a compression dropping some data.

Philosophy is in our DNA

In the past philosophy, ethics, causation, self, aesthetics, religion, art, beauty, music etc are considered to be gifts given by God.
The current scientific discoveries have led us to believe most of these are qualities in our brains.
Our brains composition and how they operate are directly a result from our DNA and sensory inputs.
The sensory inputs are from either inputs from environment or communications with other brains.
Environment do not posses philosophy. Therefore philosophy is the work of the brain.
Formation of the brain directly dependent on DNA.
Therefore philosophy is encoded in our DNA.
It is understood that large amount of information of DNA are not found to be used in making characteristics of life forms or genes - non coding DNA.
More research need to be done in decoding the non coding DNA, in the end we will find the true answer how philosophy came about lies in our non coding DNA.
Basic ingredient of life may be logic.
These unexplainable concepts arising from philosophy need some place to keep data and be documented. Earlier people thought of god as transcendental. When contradictions arose how God can exist. Concepts like a priori was used. But where and how these are documented was missing.
There should be a common place to document it and it should not change. It will need a medium to code it. It will need substantial amount of data. Only thing which can do it is our non coding DNA. Not only it can record it, it is the basic place of action that can give meaning to what is recorded.
The evolution process did not change philosophy. When life started it was fixed  unlike evolution of species by natural selection it did not change with time. Evolution tuned species according to sensory inputs or changes of environment. Philosophy was fixed. Evolution of concepts of philosophy came about by education. In other words brain to brain communication. But the basic concepts of philosophy was coded in DNA at the beginning of life - even in plants. If we think philosophy is limited only to advance life forms like humans we will run into a problem, if we assume humans are the result of the evolutionary process of natural selection, philosophy did not come about evolution. Knowledge of philosophy came about in the last 5000 or so years. If philosophy came about by an evolution process we should be able to track it's progress and find the root. That is not possible. That is why concept of god came about.
You might think this theory is easily verifiable by checking the DNA of the criminals of the world. But it is not possible, these philosophy DNA will be the same of criminals and non-criminals. Their brains may differ but philosophy DNA the same. When they are born they are not criminals sensory inputs made them criminals. Unlike using brain imaging techniques to identify differences in brains, identifying these philosophy DNA will be very difficult. It will be the same for all animals and plants. One thing we can do is to identify non coding DNA that remains the same or common to all species that has life.

Consciousness

Consciousness is commonly defined as state of awareness.

Computers help us in finding an artificial analogous to consciousness. Consider a computer program currently running. When you put an input it will give an output. It is aware of the input, it will be waiting for the input, usually the program will loop indefinitely till an input is given. The program will collect data when the program is running and when you exist the program all data in the random access memory is lost. This is similar to death.
It should be noted the program running on your brain do not stop when you sleep of when you becomes unconscious. Though some parts may not be functioning there will be other parts functioning. When all parts stops functioning death occurs.
Therefore we can assume consciousness is the program running in our brain. The hardware is the physical matter in the brain. The software is how the brain is wired by sensory inputs. The running program is the consciousness. It is different from hardware and software. It is the process that runs using hardware by using the instructions of the software.
