It occurred to me that a random thought might not just be random at all. What makes it random? And how does one decide which thought to share? I have several thoughts in my mind. This is one of them. Another one involves the music I listen to, and so on and on and on.
The mind is brilliant! :D
deja vu anyone?
anyways... yeah yeah yeah we all know thoughts happen for reasons and blah blah blah our subconcious and yawn yawn yawn nothing comes from nowhere and blink blink blink is anything truly random....
ayup.
some minds are brilliant. I wouldn't quite make the generalization that the mind is brilliant... especially after meeting my (now ex)coworkers at walmart.
:- )
anyways, read the whole thread bud, all 140 pages of it and i think that exact thought has been stated at least twice already. :- )
Welcome to the forum, by the way, and don't let any biting remarks or mean-seeming comments detur you from the good things of this forum.
Actually, the whole random thought blurb of mine was rhetorical. It was to illustrate the point that the mind is brilliant. Even your former co-workers have brilliant minds, because for me, the mind is a brilliant tool. But by being a tool, it means you have to learn how to use it. Some are more adept at it, exploring the depths of the mind. While other have more difficulty with it, not quite grasping the brilliance they have. And few fully grasp the brilliance of the mind.
And I don't doubt the thought has been stated more than once, it is after all, a random thought. ;)
Thanks for the welcome, oh cheerful one. ;)
Our brains are all different. Some are smarter than others - not just because they learned how to use this tool better - but because they were born with a better tool. I work at a developmental center for the mentally disabled. I see this not just at work, but everywhere I go. Some people just don't have the capacity of other people. -And I'm not talking just about people with mental retardation. There are whole ranges of intelligence. While it is possible to learn how to use your tool better and improve upon yourself, and increase your capacity, Igor's not gonna become an evil genius. We were only created equally in a moral sense. We were not created equally in a physical or mental sense.
I always but a high regard on Howard Gardner's theory of seven intelligences:Quote:

6. Interpersonal intelligence (as in a salesman or teacher);
7. Intrapersonal intelligence (exhibited by individuals with accurate views of themselves).
But don't you see the brilliance of the brain itself? Its inner workings, sure some minds are smarter then others, but they are all brilliant in their function.Quote:

Hence the expression 'not the sharpest knife in the block' :p
Yeah yeah, i see the brain has a genius design, how its a remarkable tool...-a tool that can break but what tool can't - but to say that the brain in general is genius gives off the wrong impression, i think.
I also think there are different kinds of brain... like I learn languages easily but I can barely add or multiply numbers while some people dont really have the skill for languages for example but are living calculators... it's a question of attitudes and even of tastes, of course you can always learn something that is not the strongest point of your brain, but you dont have a talent for it... Some people are skilled in many fields, for example both scientific and humanistic, and that's good for them...
*shrug* different strokes for different folks.
there are definitions to the words: idiot, moron, etc etc and some people fit them (not that they should be called unkind names, but it should be widely noted that some people are morons.)
alright: new random thought.
It feels so good to be bad.
Why is giving the wrong advice so much more fun than giving the right advice? hmmmm evil tastes so good.
you are pure evil, fool, but you always say what you thinking and it makes me laugh.
thanks Shortysweetp, i hope i make someone laugh... i usually write for my own sociopathic amusement.
By the way, every time I see your name i wanna sing, "Oh sweet pea come on and dance with me won't ya won't ya won't ya come and dance with meeeeeeee"
