Love Science

Love Science studies the over 200-types of love, and the many ways individuals can love and be loved.

Individuals who practice love science are called love scientists and they have discovered that the brain processes love neurochemically and neuroelectrically and changes the body's biochemistry in ways that improve the biological, emotional, and mental states of both humans and animals.

I feel love for an individual who I calculate can help me or provide me with something I need. When a person "falls" in love, they lose a degree of self-control and feel a strong need to give different things to their love object, thereby making love mutual and allowing the two or more participants to grow as a result of their loving interactions. Lastly, love cannot be purchased or given a price. I think it is a one-of-a-kind supernatural phenomenon.

Reality War

The war fought in a series of ongoing battles between society's most powerful entities as they endeavor to convince as many people as possible to accept their version of reality and think, feel, and act accordingly.

Reality is essentially what is accepted as existing, in other words, "what is." To convince others to believe that reality is what they say it is, religious organizations, governments, corporations, mass media outlets, universities, writers, intellectuals, artists, musicians, singers and other performers, scientists, and the masses all engage in the Reality War in as best their money and other resources permit.

There are personal, past, present, proposed, debunked, fraudulent, altruistic, positive, negative, imagined, factual, fictitious, and many other types of realities.

Some realities are more extensive and complex, and it is generally impossible to conclusively prove whether a reality is true or false.

The first reality to exist was and is the Original Reality and those who believe God created everything accept it as the one true reality, undistorted by the now almost ubiquitous overt, covert, or subliminal messages to the contrary.
