Here’s an enlightening read that makes me glad I found Dave Pollard’s site. There are so many memorable quotes from this post that I’m saving. Here are a few:
– “Our bodies ‘unconsciously’ make almost all our decisions, and what we call ‘our’ knowledge is an after-the-fact rationalization of their ‘decisions’ and behaviours.”
– “And those of afflicted with excessively curious minds are punished with overload and helplessness, while those with ‘unpracticed’ curiosity quickly lose the capacity to conceive of, consider and ask the questions that would be necessary to really ‘know’ what is going on.”
– “And conversely how they [memories] ‘anchor’ our beliefs, making us less and less able to ‘change our minds’ as we age.”

Articles like this raise my self-awareness and finding blogs like this are the exact reason I love the indie web movement.
