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”
Macroscopic and microscopic perspectives sometimes reveal contradictions or conflicts of logic . We must consider the variable of time when forming our thoughts and judgments, because in many cases what is considered right macroscopically may not be appropriate microscopically . In stock investing , stocks deemed correct from a long-term view are often seen as poorly chosen from a short-term perspective . Our values and judgments are sometimes praised and at other times criticized over a certain period. It seems like an innocent prank over time. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
