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”
While our bodies rest, our blood remains active. About 30 minutes into sleep, the killer T cells that combat viruses, bacteria, and toxins start to function, aided by growth hormones that repair damaged tissues. Quality sleep enhances the immune system, which in turn promotes further sleep, creating a beneficial cycle that maintains our health. Therefore, ensuring adequate sleep is essential. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
