16. Vasoppressin: Oxytocin's Complementary Molecule and Further Investigations

Vasoppressin and Oxytocin are both 9 amino acids in length. To provide a little background, an amino acid is made up of any combination of 3 of the 4 genetic DNA letters (A,C,T,G). Vasoppressin and Oxytocin differ from each other by only one amino acid located at the 8th position.

Vasoppressin and Oxytocin carry out some similar functions within our human personalities. So, while livin4d doesn't focus on Vasoppressin at the current time, livin4d wants to state  an interesting point in that there is a good possibility Vasoppressin has a tertiary effect on Genetic Personality Type in addition to Oxytocin located on Chromosome 3p25 and Fox P2 located on Chromosome 7.

The tertiary effect Vasoppressin has on personality has to do with mating behavior and longevity. Supposedly Vasoppressin predominantly affects male's mating behavior according to author Louanne Brizendine.  Although livin4d would apply The "Vasoppressin Concept" to both genders as it views humanity as joined by 3 GPTs transcendent of gender. 

Previous research already conducted on Prarie Voles and montane voles suggest these voles sexual and monogamous behavior are different from each other. Prarie voles engage in long term monogamous relationships whereas montane voles seek promiscuity, sexual variety and one night stands. The differences of these two voles' mating strategies has to do with variation in brain structure as a result of Vasoppressin differences.

Similar to prarie voles, research supports the idea that humans also have two different types of mating strategies: long term monogamous sexual behavior and one night stand promiscuous sexual behavior. Research states these variances are due to different brain structures as a result of varying forms of Vasoppressin.

One can have a long form of Vasoppressin or many repeats of the 9 amino acid chain, or a short form of Vasoppressin or a few repeats of the 9 amino acid combination chain. Depending on which form of Vasopressin an individual has, determines the type of sexual behavior one will have a tendency in which s/he engages.

In her book, The Male Brain, Author Louanne Brizendine references research conducted that "males" with the longer form of the Vasoppressin gene or more repeats of the 9 amino acid chain have a tendency to be more monogamous and have happy lasting relationships in comparison to men who having the shorter version of the Vasoppressin gene.

Livin4d is not aquiesing this Vasoppressin concept as fact or theory (not that science accepts anything as fact), but livin4d wants to reference the Vasoppressin Concept as "food for thought" for future and further scientific  investigations in application to both genders.

A more detailed further scientific investigation would be to examine: "In which GPT (Blue, Green, Orange) do longer repeats of the Vasoppressin amino acid exist? If livin4d focused on Vasoppressin, it would hypothesize that longer repeats of the 9 amino acid combination Vasoppressim would exist in the Blue Genetic Personality Type and the shortest repeat a of the 9 amino acid chain would exist in the Orange GPT with a middle length occurring in Green GPT.

14. "[Humans'] 'New Clothes' ?" I Wonder? Can We Join in the Sewing?

In life, it has been my experience thus far that people love to pathologize and hierarchically  differentiate among groups as to which group is "better than" the other group.

And when people are not speaking to "the group" as a whole, they speak to subsidiary aspects of that group in reference to which part is better than another part. By default, it seems to be human nature to do this type of incessant comparison.

This comparison with built in scaled value seems to be a human for of self-preservation; as if we are all truly equal, there will be some loss of sense of self. It seems from my life experience, whether one is black, white, lesbian, straight, old, young, male, female, undoubtedly there are implicit rationalized judgments contributing to understanding of self to other.

These hierarchical energy "caste" systems keep the wheels of human friction turning resulting in a simultaneous right and left momentum and/or up/ and down momentum depending on the angle from which the motion is viewed.

Regardless of direction and content, the simultaneous opposite running flows contribute to human relational friction that occur within all social levels (organizational,  educational, social, family, couple).

As livin4d  has a new 3 way categorization system for humanity with (+/-) language overlay factor, it allows us humans to start over, tabula rasa (blank slate) with our was of relating to each other and understanding one another. Livin4d finally reveals to us a groundbreaking foundation to erect our psychological buildings of humanity without the "______"  referenced by all religions.

Livin4d is rooted in existing valid and reliable scientific data. It is the logical structure strong enough to embrace the creative.

Metaphorically speaking livin4d is like trees, not only in its root structure, but in that it can blow with the wind without snapping. While each tree is the same species of tree, each tree is a different width, height and distance from "other" such that each tree can blow with the wind without snapping and each tree can feel each other, perhaps sometimes with minor abrasions but never enough to create friction.

Unlike buildings which are either preserved or deconstructed in order to rebuild, livin4d innately has the tensile stength to adjust it's parameters for intrinsic changing of variables.

Livin4d is too vast a concept for anyone to take ownership of as it is a reflection with a twist of our humanity as a whole. We do not exist in isolation, nor does livin4d. Livin4d is too vast for any one person to build as it is a gift to our humanity from our humanity at another axis in time. While I would love more than anything for us humans to be able to integrate this gift of livin4d into the fibers of our lives' weave, it is up to us if we choose to sew this beautiful fabric of humanity.

I will continue to do my best to be the best reflection of "us" that I can be . . . in all facets of "us" :) in personal hope that we can all mend our psychological cloak. If we cannot, I understand this too as we can only do the best we can do at any given point in time. Afterall,  we are human and along with "us" comes many imperfections whether "silent," "shifted" or "overt."
