How works our awareness

Our brain have complex functions which make us think and process our ideas and information in a right way about what we are listening to and watching to. However, these date and notions in our mind don’t development in high level because nobody uses its brain 100%.

That’s the reason why we don’t pay attention in details that are kind of stupid, because we are focus in 1 thing. Maybe women wouldn’t have these problems because they can do many tasks while they are focus in 1 thing. For example, when they are driving, you can see they are talking on the phone, making up themselves, texting, drinking coffee, whatever you can imagine.

If we want to compare awareness with conformity, it should be some similarities: we prefer to listen to the beat and the rhythm of a song instead of listen to the lyrics. So, we don’t care about it. Even there are some people who notice sublime messages or make jokes with those songs. Also, in my country Colombia when something wrong is happening, we don’t do anything to change it; people who fight against the unfair never win.

Concerning the video about perception which some people play basketball while someone with a gorilla's costume is crossing between them, I think it was a great activity because it make you work hard to figure it out the answer. It’s a clear example how conformity is always inside us. Weird and exciting things make us think more deeply to know the purpose of a portrait, sculture, architecture, etc.

In conclusion, look for the unusual things and enjoy it.

  1. Hi Andres,

    I see that your response is a little bit all over the place, from teasing to talking about sculpture. You know what I would like? I would like to see some proof that women are worse drivers than men. Here, men pay more insurance because they cause more accidents and have more tickets and driving violations. Perhaps the men and women are much different in Colombia?

  2. I wasn’t saying women are worse drivers than men. I just said that women have the ability to do many things in the same time, and I find it amazing. Concerning about your question in Colombia men and women have to pay the same for insurance, but there is a lot of machismo, so women are "considered" bad drivers...
