In 1958, German psychopathologist Klaus Conrad introduced the term “Apophenia” to define the cognitive process of identifying patterns and connections between entirely unrelated ideas. While this phenomenon significantly contributes to human creativity, it can also result in misconceptions or mistakes. This type of error is referred to as “Pareidolia.” Interestingly, both maniacs and geniuses may stem from similar origins. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The greater the mountain, the less we consider its height due to its overall size. It’s not merely the height or depth that defines a significant mountain; rather, it’s the climate. A mountain that experiences changing weather patterns is indeed greater. Similarly, the greater a person is, the broader and more diverse their capacity for change, which should not be taken lightly. We must refrain from judging those individuals with our imperfect cognitive abilities. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
