Reason and Thinking

In subject of philosophy, western gaze or model discuss, debate the theories or findings of Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Hume, Sigmund Freud, Jonathan Evans. Each of these luminaries stressed upon the fact that the biggest distinguishing factors for humans is the ability to think in multi-dimension of time, space, matter over many possibilities. It was later theorised by neuroscience that the development of the frontal area of brain called the prefrontal cortex ( 2 million years ago it was a pound and quarter mass of brain which has grown into three pound now) that led to complex thinking, cognitive process. Even Devdutt Patnaik, Chief Belief Officer of Future Group, stresses the importance of imagination that precedes actual event.

Long story short, it’s the human ability to use ones thinking abilities or reasoning abilities that is super super powerful.

Question is “have we become a better society?”. Each of us has our own answers.

My answer is that we haven’t realised the potential of the brain yet. For me, the divide between have and have nots have grown exceedingly in last 200 years of rapid industrialisation. More than half a worlds population goes hungry to sleep, without proper sanitation, etc.

My calling is to make extremely good of the opportunity to serve first the 20, 000 families. Is this your calling too? You may have to answer for yourself to yourself by yourself.

Appreciating the power of thinking which can make the world a better place to live in.
