The human brain is controlled by the unconscious mind. Voting to increase US school funding usually gains more support in schools than in churches. Conversely, votes on abortion in churches are often more opposed than in schools. When asked if the location affected their decision, voters often dismiss it as nonsense. Humans don’t realize that their behavior is driven by the unconscious. For example, if someone is holding hot coffee during a meeting, they are more likely to see me as warm. If they have iced coffee, they might see me as cold. This is based on studies in cognitive psychology. We are motivated by the unconscious, even if we don’t admit it. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
We often find that the more intelligent people are critical of the world. However, a wise person does not use their superior abilities to blame others but to help others. When used foolishly, superior abilities can harm the world; when used wisely, they can help the world. Superior intelligence should not be judged by the extent or depth of its knowledge, but by the fruit it produces. Most of the world's abilities are judged by the value of their use rather than their effectiveness of utilization. A tree should be evaluated by its fruit, not its roots or trunk. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
