What is a bummer is that our primitive brain, System 1,can't be turned off and our neocortex has to work with the input from system 1. Our brain is a fascinating machine and I am marveled by its neuroplasticity. Imagine if we could actually tap into our fullest potential....
They say nuts can help with tapping into more of our brain power.
Hey Joey! It's funny that you're mentioning this now, I just had a handful of nuts this morning lol.
That is funny and you're making me hungry because I love nuts lol
Hahaha awesome! I was asking myself which sort of nuts should I buy a couple of days ago: brazilian, pecan or simple plain nuts. The last ones won. Hm now that I think about it, I will get some pecan too next time. 🤔😅😅 You can never have enough brain power
Haha, get them all. A quick correction in that one video I'm watching, you mention the naked Vietnamese boy photograph. I believe it was a girl, but hard to tell when they're kids. By the way, I was living in Vietnam and I was taking photos myself. I like photography and I do it a little sometimes.
Awesome, I think that living in various places can expose our brain to different ways to see things. Did you like Vietnam as a place?
I love the people and it is an ancient place for sure, the jungles of Vietnam are mysterious, there were some of the largest if not largest caves discovered some years ago in Vietnam.
It always there, the response from the stimulus as input to the higher order parts, but we don't have to act on them automatically. We can learn to process and take time before responding in the moment. Who knows what our fullest potential is indeed ;)
Yes, we don't have to act on it. There is a learning curve for those who have a more highly reactive amygdala. Old habits die hard and many people have an issue in changing the way they respond to some stimulus/triggers. I actually finished reading a book explaining how excellence and habits are being developed since birth. I have found it fascinating that a skill, a response, is actually leaving marks through a process called myelination. Throughout our lives we grow this and it is like the wrapping around the cables. The more developed practice you do, the more "wrapping" around your neurons. I find it fascinating because we have this little mass closed inside our skull, deprived of light, sitting in the dark and yet being such a marvelous piece of machinery: our brain Neuroscience is just awesome.
