    Re: The brain

    Human nature is fixed, but like any set of rules, there are infinite outcomes that can come forth in behavior and living. This is all good, even the initial rules, for the alternative would be random nonsense.

    Now, let's not say that we know some people like that… but we do know some, for things can easily go wrong in our Rube Goldberg contraption of a machine with brain layer atop brain layer right down to the primitive brain stem.

    Probably 50 years on we would say the human brain is a machine because machines would have replaced most of the brains. However we need to know that the brain created the machines. Hence brain is much superior

    Re: The brain

    Brains are the greatest and most complex things the universe has ever produced. We can't even strain the brain through deep thinking and it still works. Knowing how it works is a big help. For example, believe it or not, the brain often assigns cause to what just happened, say, some kids making too much noise causing anxiety, but it is really that the anxiety was already there. Note that the noise of the kids was just fine on some other days.

    Right the brain has this uncanny abilit to adjust the response according to the surroundings and the requirement of the situation.
