Weather forecasters on the news often feature well-dressed meteorologists who diligently explain the weather using various meteorological terms. But if the forecasts were always accurate, there would be no need for such lengthy explanations. People wouldn’t complain if it were simply raining or not, if the temperature was a few degrees, and if the humidity was comfortable or uncomfortable. However, since there’s a chance the forecast could be wrong, they try to explain it thoroughly to ask for people’s understanding. Do you see why simplicity is great? Simplicity is great because no one can simplify it haphazardly. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Humans can explain why they consciously act, but it’s hard to clarify their unconscious actions . When we can’t explain our unconscious behaviors, we often feel a sense of fear. We perform many actions unconsciously without realizing it, but if we can’t explain why, our brains invent their own stories . Humans are naturally drawn to and affected by stories. Fear arises when we’re in a situation that can’t be explained by our stories. - 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”
