My brain was on hyperdrive today even though I was uber tired. I thought about philosophy all day. My life has been a struggle to juxtapose my dual nature (yes Sartre it IS dual), balance physical and psychological. I've destroyed my body, tried to repair it, etc. etc. I've been trying to come up with my own philosophy on the dual nature of humans, how people can be a summation of themselves and also exist in dual dimensions. I need some sort of fusion between soul and body... maybe that's what Descartes lacked. Anyway, I thought about that...
And I thought a lot about politics, and the unbridgable gap between philosophical politics and politics in actuality. There's so many great ideals for societal systems, so many social contracts, so many different theories of government. Monarchy, plutocracy, anarchy, oligarchy, democracy, socialism, theocracy... they are all lovely in theory but they can never work. Take socialism. It's a fantastic idea. But put it into practice and it degrades into communism. Communism as an ideal is great too. But put communism into practice and you achieve 'absolute' corruption of one individual due to an excess of 'absolute' power. I'm pretty sure as well that democracy is pretty much impossible to achieve in reality.

The problem with all social theories, and most theories of any nature, is that they work perfectly well in calculators, on paper, in people's minds, but once you try to enact them they all deteriorate into chaos. I know that different logistics and discrete math can be used to predict chaos, but in my opinion that's a bit of an oxymoron. Chaos is unpredictable. We can make some accurate conjectures on how a society will react to something based on political knowledge and precedent, but in reality chaos controls. We cannot be guaranteed that a system will behave in the predicted way. I guess it's all chaos theory...

I was also thinking today about Darwinism, and how many have manipulated it i.e. Herbert Spencer, and I was wondering if it could possibly be directly applied to psychology. That seems to be implying determinism though, which nobody really wants to believe when it comes to psychology. We can believe that evolution exists on a biological basis, and that due to the berevity of our generation it is difficult to manipulate, and that one generation could never reap the benefits of its own manipulation anyway. But could we accept that evolution occurs on a psychological level, that the evolution of the mind follows set rules, rules that seem like chaos to us now but really dictate psychological development absolutely? Is it even possible?
