Everything that is expressed and recorded externally, such as cell phones, computers, memos, books, and drawings, is an extension of the brain. Our brains aren’t just inside our bodies. This concept is important because extending the ego greatly influences how we see the world. We pay close attention to topics that involve us personally. Self-relevance is a key factor that drives our lives. Personal relationships and possessions get a lot of focus, while other areas seem less important. This is due to a feature of the human brain called ‘selective cognition.’ As civilization advanced, humans delegated parts of the brain’s functions to machines. It was inevitable to make good use of these tools. We should take an interest in the Homo Faber. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
‘Writing’ is the best way to study. Reading, listening, and speaking are also excellent methods, but ‘writing’ represents a different dimension. When you feel uneasy while writing, you are producing content that diverges from your initial problem awareness. You are developing a theory by not identifying the underlying framework of your thoughts, or perhaps the case is not suitable, or the initial problem awareness itself is flawed. Writing reveals what I do not understand, helping you discover and learn more. Consistently doing this each day leads to significant progress. Write at least a few lines every day. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
