Continuing...

So, with my previous blog I stated the difference in the things we like. Now I know my previous post might have come across as a bit lengthy and for that I apologize. As I want to finish of this line of though, I will keep this blog short as well.

What got me thinking though is that fact that our brains are so similar, yet so different. An example; When I look watch a film I pay attention to all kinds of things. Like the way the sets have been created, the use of special effects, acting, camera angles and I could go on for a while. Whilst watching a film I ask myself certain questions on what the director must have been thinking of when he made certain choices, or how brilliant some script writers are. On the other hand there are other people. These people simply watch a film and do not give it a lot of thought. Afterwards if you ere to ask them in depth questions on the film, they would be unable to answer your questions. Now, this is just one example. I will give you one more; I see two people sitting on a bus together. They are having a conversation, whilst using their phones to listen to music without having to use earphones. They are using horrible language in front of children, and it is quite obvious the other passengers are annoyed by their behaviour. I can not help but to start thinking about what happened in these people's lives that led to them show such poor social behaviour. I take several facts into consideration, such as ethnic background, age, gender, possible schooling etc. Now I am pretty sure a lot of people just perceive what is happening and choose to give the young people a harsh look, and most likely curse them in their own minds and then just leave it at that. These are just two examples, but I could name several hundreds. And the examples do not stop as simple social conduct problems, but I mean such differences as most of us experience on democratic nationalities. A very good example are politics. All these different individuals with their own little parties all have their own ideals. It is very obvious that the way human beings think varies in many possible ways. This line of thought led me to thinking about why humans think in completely different ways. This thought of why, led me to start thinking about our future, and that is what I was trying to say in my previous blogs.

My conclusion on the why is very vague, for I am no expert on the matter. I should do more reading on human thinking patterns when I get the time. But things that came into mind are mainly the upbringing of a person. Whether or not the individual has been challenging to think about problems as a child. Other matters such as talents, and the expertise level of a new born child. There are several more factors, but I do not want to go writing them all down. All these factors are of importance for a human being when developing a cognitive approach to every day life.

Now, at our modern day and age there are huge differences in the way we think. And to come back on evolution, I believe that the next main step for our race, is for our minds to evolve. Eventually, in an ideal situation, all human beings will have the same cognitive capacity as one another. Only when this happens, will we ensure the survivability of our race.

I hope most of you have been able to follow my blog on the matter. I am quite aware I have made spelling and grammar mistakes, and I would like to take these few lines to apologize for them. When writing about my thoughts I am not fond of going back on them and making alterations. This may confuse the reader when reading my blogs as one. Just take that in mind when you read any of my future blogs. Thanks for your time, and please comment and keep reading.

  5. I'm pretty sure no one can come to conclusions on these issues, but the current mindset seems to be the dualistic view of biological nature and genetics combined with environmental (social, familial, etc) upbringing.

  6. Eh, we're likely doomed to rely too much on technology and become weak because of it, making it easier for the aliens to wipe us out.

    You know, textbook stuff.

  11. it's an interesting subject that i didn't think many people troubled their minds with.. thank you for letting me know i'm not alone, and keep writing on thought-provoking matters

    one more thing to think about: what if we all thought alike? would be a hell of a boring place.

    some people do really think like social handicaps though and i could do without them too :>

  12. i do the same thing when i see films. I observe everything and think what the actors must be thinking while they are acting!

  13. What you say about films i can entirely empathise with. Really, it applies to most situations. Specificaly, with going to see films, you often hear people talking in terms of "like" and "dislike." This is a very binary and uninteresting approach to me. I've seen films, read books and such, that i couldn't be further from "liking," but they mean something more to me than that.

    Anyway, i think most people are very passive in how they absorb the world around them. They complain a lot, sure, but they never really "connect" to their surroundings.

    Nice ideas you have anyway, +1.

  16. Attention to detail is the sign of a switched-on mind in my opinion. However, the ability to enjoy things for simply what they are can also be seen as a masterful display of discipline.

    My mind is full of fuck.

  21. see, we'd have to get over our differences before any of that happens.

    it's the same fault as communism, equal cognitive abilities eliminates competition.
