Thoughts, connections, and creativity

0 thoughts
I wonder if there is a link to creativity and how our brains form connections.
Is that all that creativity is? A powerful program that is used to connect and use different parts of different subroutines.

What if the ONLY difference between stage hypnotism and intense psychoanalysis is belief?

Belief does have some amazing and odd effects on humans.

Gen 2:19 thoughts

0 thoughts
Genesis 2:19 is where God allows Adam to start naming all the creatures. The Literal interpretation is that God was curious to see what Adam would name the creatures. Or perhaps it was intended as a gift, he gave Adam the power to name all the creatures.
Or perhaps there's more to it...

What if the whole point of that verse is to show mankind's goal on earth; understand it all.
Is that why God brought every creature before Adam to be named? Was it a test?

Getting older

Each year it feels like I'm unlocking more and more secrets of life.
And not just life, but how people work.
Why they think how they do, what causes it.
And the more I learn about specialized knowledge, the more I realize, this knowledge isn't "out there" to find easily.

But what I've learned and the most important things in life:
Persistence pays off.
Knowing your personal limitations is key to working within them and expanding them.
Belief is everything

Can guys and girls just be friends?

0 thoughts
I've heard people that say nope, never.
And I've heard people say that it is totally fine, no big deal.

My current thoughts are as follows:
Guys and girls can be friends only if they are not attracted to each other.
If ((GuyFeelingsAboutGirl Do Not Equal 'Attraction')AND(GirlFeelingsAboutGuy Do Not Equal 'Attraction'))
     {They can be friends until GuyFeelingsAboutGirl OR GirlFeelingsAboutGuy Equals 'Attraction'}
Else
     {They can not just be friends}

I have no clue if the above psudocode makes any sense, let me know if it does/does not (:

Emotions Revealed

The book Emotions Revealed by Paul Ekman is fantastic. I'm only through the first 2 chapters, but some of the things he talks about are absolutely ground breaking. It takes a minute to get used to the technical writing. I was surprised by how technical this book is written, the level expected from a psychology journal.
