Btw, our brains ARE amazing! 😜

Or you could spend 10 minutes scrolling. That's another way to challenge your brain’s notion of human intelligence.😉

The next time you catch yourself marveling at how smart we humans are, remember: that's just a three-and-a-half-pound blob of gooey biomatter patting itself on the back. Maybe it’s slightly biased?

So, what should we do? Perhaps a dose of humility about our perceptions, memories, and actions is in order. Realize that your brain isn't some objective observer—it's a self-serving storyteller creating a narrative that always writes itself in as the hero.

When I say, "the human brain is amazing," it's literally just my brain giving itself a compliment. This neuro-centricity is fascinating—we exist in a universe where the very organ evaluating our sense of reality is simultaneously self-evaluating its importance within that reality.
