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”
Babies who are only six months old cannot walk. However, with a bit of training, this baby can swim in the water . Just because the baby can’t walk doesn’t mean the baby can’t swim. All humans are born in amniotic fluid in their mother’s womb when they are fetuses . It is normal for a 6-month-old baby to be unable to walk. Yet, the idea that the baby can’t even swim is a prejudice. Our stereotypes stem from taking things for granted. Imagination begins by doubting the obvious. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
