Our thoughts and memories aren't stored, theu are constantly being re-created through the interaction of our body (including the brain) with the world.This to me seems very Taoist. Laozi and Zhuangzi would understand this argument immediately.This way of thinking about thinking also opens up a fresh perspective on creativity and education: it's all about creating conditions for recreating our image of the world.I will pick up some of the books mentioned in the article! <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/brain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#brain</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/thinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#thinking</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#neuroscience</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/neuropsychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#neuropsychology</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/RobertEpstein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RobertEpstein</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Tao" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tao</a>

WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/holmes-sr-oliver-wendell/78833/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">A quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.</a><blockquote>The boldest thinker may have his moments of languor and discouragement, when he feels as if he could willingly exchange faiths with the old beldame crossing herself at the cathedral-door, — nay, that, if he could drop all coherent thought, and lie in the flowery meadow with the brown-eyed solemnly unthinking cattle, looking up to the sky, and all their simple consciousness staining itself blue, then down to the grass, and life turning to a mere greenness, blended with confused scents of herbs, — no individual mind-movement such as men are teased with, but the great calm cattle-sense of all time and all places that know the milky smell of herds, — if he could be like these, he would be content to be driven home by the cow-boy, and share the grassy banquet of the king of ancient Babylon. Let us be very generous, then, in our judgment of those who leave the front ranks of thought for the company of the meek non-combatants who follow with the baggage and provisions. Age, illness, too much wear and tear, a half-formed paralysis, may bring any of us to this pass.</blockquote>Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894) American poet, essayist, scholar Article (1860-09), “The Professor’s Story [Elsie Venner],” ch. 18, Atlantic Monthly, Vol. 6, No. 35 More info about this quote: <a href="https://wist.info/holmes-sr-oliver-wendell/78833/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">wist.info/holmes-sr-oliver-wen…</a><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#qotd</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=fatigue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fatigue</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=acceptance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#acceptance</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=cattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cattle</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=contentment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#contentment</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=discouragement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#discouragement</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=faith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#faith</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=follower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#follower</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=following" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#following</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=givingup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#givingup</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=intelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intelligence</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=masses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#masses</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=orthodoxy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#orthodoxy</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=sloth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sloth</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=thinker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#thinker</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=thinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#thinking</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=simplicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#simplicity</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=intellect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intellect</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=goingalong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#goingalong</a>
