Minsky M.A.If the brain was simple enough to be understood - we would be too simple to understand it!
About This Quote
In the world of the brain, there are many different areas that help us to think, feel and control our lives. The brain is a complex organ that cannot be explained in a few sentences. It is so complex that we have a hard time understanding it and yet we have a hard time seeing a different way of thinking. We have a hard time believing in something so different from what we have been taught.
As people, we tend to believe what our parents have taught us and that is usually wrong or incomplete or just plain wrong. We then think that if everyone else believes it, then it must be right.
