It's amazing to think about the fact that there are as many neurons in our brain as there are stars in the galaxy. 100 billion neurons transmitting information, serving as a link between our inner galaxy (the network of information inside us) and our external galaxy (the network of historical organic creation). If what's inside us is a mirror for what's outside us, we're lucky to have so many options.
Despite the fact that 100 billion neurons exist in our brain, its ability to categorize, delineate, decipher, extrapolate, and protect, is also essential to the ways we figure out what the hell is going on all around us.
Every day we know more about the nature of our brains and the nature of space, I'm just blown away by what we've been given to work with.
We have the bandwidth. We have the resources. We have the people.
Our mind's tendency to reduce and distill is powerful. Let's just make sure we're not taking the easy way out. Simple solutions are romantic, and there's a whole range of stuff we shouldn't overthink. Even so, we know when we're employing cognitive or emotional shortcuts, especially in areas where we know we have room to grow.
100 billion neurons of discernment, and all we really have to do is ask ourselves.
100 billion neurons to hit the pause button and listen, so that when our reflection reaches our lips, it's inclusive of the truth.
