Other people’s brains exist within our own. The ability to replicate others’ brains is one of the most crucial functions of our brains. We copy other people’s brains into our own to better understand them. In fact, our brains operate through this mechanism. The more diverse people’s brains we replicate, the less we suffer from communication issues. Our brains act like mirrors, reflecting others. When another person’s brain is mirrored in mine, it triggers empathy, and when that stimulus produces a hormone, our bodies respond accordingly. Since this response is communicated back to the brain, we mistakenly believe we are experiencing emotions in our bodies. What you represent in my brain is the emotion. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Cognitive science states that humans communicate with 30% of "linguistic information" and 70% of "non-linguistic information." Suppose you study something to acquire information, focusing on it with conscious awareness. In that case, any activity you engage in unconsciously throughout your daily life is "playing." It is challenging to maintain focus on a task for an extended period. However, engaging in play adds enjoyment to intellectual pursuits, allowing for sustained attention. Studying in a limited capacity will only make you proficient in specific areas, but play can facilitate a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding. Parents often err by separating study and play, they are two sides of the same coin. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
