Hello. And here we are again. Hello. Here we are again. Here we are again. We always say hello at the same time. I'm glad we do, though, because it means we're united. It's true. It might sound funny to people, but I think it's because we're united. Very united. And we've stuck together these. I don't know how many years have we been doing this? And um uh well 21 years. If we're ever if we're ever, yeah, okay. So if we ever have this overnight success, which would be really nice, it would be like a 21-year-long overnight success.

SPEAKER_01 3:11

Exactly, exactly. But there are at least now some children who have been uh trained or brought up with the cognitively correct language. Um you know that that there's or there are now at least are um test cases out there.

SPEAKER_00 3:34

Yeah, and and I think you know, there's there's definitely levels to cognitively correctness, right? Um and um but to start out basically with just respecting the fundamental laws of physics and the uh diversified properties of specific instructions that allow children to take the reins on their own exploration activities uh in free play, and also to be given uh direction and instructions when learning to do something new or when being demonstrated and uh giving them that chance to really respect and trust their own sensory tools.

SPEAKER_02 4:27

Right.

SPEAKER_00 4:28

So we start with the most, like we said, the most fundamental physical aspect, which is adults' hands off, children's hands on. Like when you hear every time I hear an adult say use your words to a kid, I want to say the same thing to an adult. Right. Use your words, hands off, use your words, leave out the negations, right? Completely obliterate the no's, nots, don'ts, can't, shouldn't, stop teaching according to the knowledge of consequences. But anyway, let me fast track here, which brings me to what I want to talk to today about uh uh well giving some more literacy to the understanding about real human brain potential uh and taking away the excuse of it being a mystery. So so if we we talk about animal brains versus human brains, and we've we've talked about this in the past, but we have been focusing more on staying on point with one particular point. So to reiterate or to give some more context to the whole thing, animals are very much already born with um their brains fully developed, their whole neuronal network is already intact. And so I'm sure most people have taken a moment or two in their lives looking at bees or birds or alligators or fish or you know, uh reptiles, whatever it is, and they they just operate according to their intuition. So so what does it mean that they have fully developed brains? It means that their neural net is set, their intuition works in conjunction with their particular brand or level of cognition. So there's zero difference between their cognition and their intuition, but intuition does allow animals to have a certain version of creativity in how they say forage or how they escape you know uh predators or um because if they did the same thing every single time, it would never the predictability of it would cancel out uh you know the survival part of it, right? But the advanced kind of reasoning that humans do, which requires an at very advanced level of compassion because that's the basis for intuition, and then intuition being the most formidable form or quotient of intelligence we can have, then the one of the reasons why we have this long development period is so that intuition can have a chance to grab onto and acquire and take hold of all the different types of knowledge that we that we acquire, that we get, that we receive, that we learn, which make up the cognitive process or the learning process itself, so that intuition and cognition are always linked together. So because of the advanced uh the potential for advanced reasoning and creativity and innovation and all of those other other wonderful things that people are always talking about, which it's great to hear people always talking about those things, right? If well, for those who are always talking about those things, and um uh so it it that the time and uh for exposure to a lot of experiences and knowledge, then intuition has to develop alongside or in conjunction with or completely linked with cognition itself. And uh as we I I we talked about neurolinguistic programming in the last session, right? So um that advanced uh reasoning and analytical skills that we have, and analytical is more is for more than just logic, it's for everything. And you hear people constantly say, you know, some person might be too analytical, whereas in cognitive in the in the world of cognitivology, nobody is analytical enough or logical enough, right? Right. So um, and uh I mean that goes back to a lot of things, which if there's a minute enough in this session today, I might mention. But um yeah, our reasoning skills demand a lot, and our brains require language for its development. It's some people see it as either frivolous or auxiliary or optional, but the human brain does require language, right? And uh that's never going to be optional. So language, which we use for everything, needs to have the proper neurolinguistic programming that makes unlimited learning possible, but also makes sensory perception possible in all levels and all frequencies, which our brain is also capable of processing, which is why we do a lot of what we call invisible information processing, abstract thinking, reasoning, precognition, planning, all of all of those things, decision-making, creative decision making, which is what it should really be called. Because every time you made a decision, even to buy a coffee, you may do it very differently than you did it last time. And if you're doing it the same way every day, then probably some neuroscientists would say you need to give your caught it nucleus a little bit more exercise, get your coffee a little bit of a different way or at a different shop or at a different time, or go around the corner and order a coffee with your donut instead of uh just um a granola bar. Um, of course, eat healthy, everyone. Eat healthy, that's a good thing. That is, but uh yeah, we do uh we do, you know, intuition as we spoke about in the last session, too, does require diversification and cognition requires intuition and diversification. And diversification requires intuition and cognition. I can go on like this, I can go around in a circle for the rest of the session. Yes, you can. Okay, so so I'm just going to we're gonna be short today. So I'm just gonna end by saying. Oh, hang on.

SPEAKER_01 11:48

What you have you have oh, yeah, you have at least five more minutes, even though we're gonna be short today. Yeah, okay so you have that minute that you were talking about earlier.

SPEAKER_00 12:00

Yes, well, because the thing is that I wanted to say, and and I I know we started to mention this, we started this topic. I know the the this idea, we've talked about it many ways, but I think the last time we talked about it, which was a couple of sessions ago, could have really created a kind of explosion. Um uh I think it needed it needed to be, it needed something added to it. So um we had talked about the the prefrontal cortex that everyone talks about. It's there to there's so many ideas about what people think the prefrontal cortical regions actually do.

SPEAKER_02 12:48

Right.

SPEAKER_00 12:48

Um so we we think that it's a it's supposed to be there to manage our emotions. That's actually a false idea. It's it's a very secondary, even I would say even a tertiary process. Okay, supposed to just do creative thinking, whether it's for decision-making, reasoning, compassionate um, you know, application, whatever it is, which should be inextricably linked with our innovative skills and creative skills and all that other type of stuff. But I think the thing that I wanted to point out that uh about the excuse that people use that teens make stupid mistakes because the prefrontal regions of their brain are still developing. But that would automatically imply that when the biological development of those areas are completed, that people would have rather perfect reasoning skills. Um so that we know that's untrue. Actually, people still continue to make this uh you know impulsive or unreasonable mistakes. It's just that their priorities changed as they stopped being teenagers, now their agenda for lack of reasoning just changed to a different set of priorities. Right. But if you look at them underneath, if you pop the hood, so to speak, the the process for reasoning, the the quality of reasoning is hardly different at all than it was during the teen years. It's just that I think for the majority of people, they get a handle on, oh, I have some experience now. I did that silly thing when I was a teenager or when I was in my early 20s. Like that was a really dumb thing to do. So I'll stop doing that. And we our priorities change, our interests change, and so, but we still go on fighting that that pursuit for high reasoning because the stuff that we failed to get in the preschool stage, which is the ingredients to make the teen years an experience of doing actually really good reasoning, so that they have the experience for good reasoning so that they can master it as adults. It's kind of all backwards, right?

SPEAKER_02 15:33

Right.

SPEAKER_00 15:34

So, um, yeah, so it goes back to if we tie this together with our last session of the neurolinguistic programming, then maybe we can start creating more of a flow in the reasoning potential of what uh seeing seeing where the connections through throughout the cognitive stages and how they lead to what that is meant to be by the time the brain finishes developing is uh a good handle on what our potentials are, rather than creating excuses for what our potentials are lacking when we're growing up, and then saying now we're adults, so let's act that way. But but you know, as as any real neuroscientist will tell you that you know our cognition, our quality of cognition has uh been unfazed really for about 50,000 years. But the groupings of people working together with creative thought have uh given us the opportunity to create a lot of useful amenities and ideas in the world that we can benefit upon. And it's a testimony about the power of communication because with that skill of communication, that's where we get to share ideas, true, and then so yeah, so language is is an extremely requisite tool in upgrading our whole potential, and so it is important, uh, but it's better if our language is filled with the qualities that communication can give us in terms of the way that we collaborate as humans in in every endeavor, because whatever humans do, we're looking to collaborate in one way or another.

SPEAKER_01 17:48

Okay, and on that note, that last sentence to people's imagination.

SPEAKER_00 17:53

Perfect.

SPEAKER_01 17:54

And on that note, buy us a coffee and come back in a couple of weeks, we'll have another new episode. Thank you, everyone. Salon.
