One of the most significant stumbling blocks in almost all explanations of consciousness is that they focus on the wrong thing. The consciousness we most often talk about is trivial in terms of understanding the facility of the mind. In addition to…
Reason is like a white cane of the blind
Explaining things is undoubtedly innate to modern man and therefore nearly all key issues of humanity are related to explaining one way or another. Maybe that is why various ethical and philosophical groups,…
I'll describe here shortly the problems that an unsuccessful transformation related to mental aging causes in an adult individual. The source of the problem is almost impossible to spot precisely because nothing happens in our minds as we move from adolescence to…
