I just love the RSA movies.

Plus the talk about the divided brain is totally fascinating ^^

I noticed the difference between narrow focus and seeing everything abstractly in my life and have though about it before. It's an interesting thing, as if your brain saves processing time by abstracting (or categorizing) things you already know. As soon as you notice a major difference you start to analyze the finer points on the object and narrowly focusing on it.

Although the video goes even deeper into this aspect, and I can't say I analyzed that yet. But I do love to analyze my own behavior and brain.

I always like to think of our brain as a tool we are given and have basic knowledge of using, but it has much more untapped potential if you learn to use it better.

Quotation from this lecture:

'I also call the left hemisphere the Berlusconi of the brain... because it controls the media.'





Good video, very interesting but sadly the English used in this was often too complex for me. Sad
