7-The human brain
When looking at their brain, I expected something astounding. They have, at least, 86 billion neurons. In the past 200 years, they made locomotives, TV, computers, planes, satellites, vaccines, atomic bombs, MRI, bulldozers, dams, viaducts, and many more. All of that started in their brain. I expected something as sophisticated as their bodies. It was a disappointment. Every second, their body completes about 500 trillion faultless copies of hemoglobin, a protein containing 10000 atoms in 574 amino acids. Their brains are much more limited.
Let’s start with a simple question:
“If Marie’s daughter has a son, what is the relationship
between Marie and the father of this son?”
No mathematics. This is a simple question about family relationships! There should not be any problem! They usually find the answer (mother-in-law), but it takes time.

Another test of the human brain
-Take a series of coins and put them in alignment and number them 1, 2, 3, 4… all heads up.
-Flip the coins 2, 4, 6… and all the multiples of 2.
-Flip the coins 3, 6, 9, 12… and all the multiples of 3.
What are the coins that are still head up? No need for complicated calculations. Some simple reasoning should do.
If you wish to understand the universe
think of energy, frequency and vibrations

They made computers. That’s an achievement and they can be proud of it. Could that be proof of superior thinking? Maybe not! Computers are made of the association of millions of simple ideas coming from millions of different people. That does not mean that the human brain improved the day they started making computers. It only shows that they needed many people to put together many simple ideas.
We search with our brain
but we find with our heart.

Computers are following the general direction of human evolution. They started by making tools to go hunting. Those tools were simple objects. The next step was to make machines. That requires ideas using objects. With computers, they keep moving from the material world to the non-physical world. With A.I. they are going one more step in the same direction. Humans are distancing themselves from the material world. What could be their next step? The development of their feelings?
The slim mold:
A little walk in the forest would give them a lot to think about. They would see dead trees covered with some wad of yellow gooey slime mold. It can solve problems faster than humans with powerful computers.
The human way to solve a problem is to think about it. They pile up ideas upon ideas. They end up needing the most powerful computers to tackle a problem that slime can solve very easily without even thinking about it. They should accept the idea that:
There must be a better way to solve problems than using human thinking.
They could find out, someday, that a virus can do even better.
Where does their thinking come from?
Before they pretend to dominate the universe with their brain, they should keep in mind that modern humans are 98.8 % genetically similar to chimpanzees, 75% genetically similar to chickens and 60% genetically similar to banana trees. Click here for details.
To make an evaluation of their thinking, they compare it with that of other animals. That’s cheating. They should compare the development of their brain with the development of their own body. That would make them very humble.
Let’s assume that a certain amount of thinking was created by the Big Bang. This is a limited genetic patrimony to be shared between humans. If this is the case, they should become dumber and dumber as the world population increases.
Nobody would believe that!
Another possibility is that the thinking on Earth increases with the human population. That would imply that they can create thinking out of nothing. Let’s not be too demanding. A compromise between those two extremes would be that human thinking results from a complex process that is way above their heads.
Mathematics could help. It is a way to avoid the need for reasoning. At the end of mathematical reasoning, there is a formula. If you know the formula, you don’t need the reasoning. To get the surface of a rectangle, you only need to remember that it is a multiplication. Nobody will ask you why. They use Mathematics to avoid reasoning. Of course, somebody had to find the formula. They call him a genius and put his name in the dictionary. This is their way to avoid bruising their ego.
Fortunately, there is more to mathematics than avoiding reasoning. It is a way to detach their mind from the material world. After they learn counting, they can count anything. They start by counting their fingers and counting the number of people in the room, the stars in the sky and even particles so small that their eyes cannot see them. Mathematics is a way to escape the prison of the physical body. Mathematics increases the part of nature that they can handle.
This is an introduction to creation. You start with 0 and 1 and keep adding the last two numbers to get the next one. 0+1 = 1 and 1+1=2 and 2+1=3. The Fibonacci numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,13, 21, 34, 55, 89…..
What is interesting is that you find Fibonacci numbers all over the creation.
You can find them in sunflowers.
You will also find them in plants, fruits, in seashells, in broccoli, in the human body and even in galaxies.
Search Google, Images, Fibonacci and you will not understand how the Homo sapiens could live on Earth for more than 300 000 years without seeing the Fibonacci numbers all around them. They did not have to think. Only to look.
How can we explain this enormous discrepancy between their mind and their body?
One explanation could come from their history. When an animal sees danger, it knows what its reaction should be. Birds fly away - Zebras run - Fish swim. When humans perceive danger, they may hesitate between different reactions. Should they hide? Run away? Call for help? Throw stones? Climb a tree? Man introduces thinking between being aware of the danger and his reaction. That takes time! A fraction of a second could make the difference between survival and becoming a meal. The more you think, the lower your chances of survival. Removing the best thinkers for millions of years before they even have a chance to reproduce lowers the IQ of the general population. Today humans are the survivors because they are the dumb ones. Some Homo sapiens survived for 300 000 years because of their limited thinking -)
Is their thinking reliable?
The scientists are the first ones to say that their thinking is not reliable. They want everything to be confirmed by experiments. They require Mother Nature's approval. They say that they should look at the facts and apply their thinking to the facts. Why should they associate the reliable facts with unreliable thinking that is going to mess up everything? Does that make sense? They want A.I. to amplify human thinking. Is that reasonable? The robots that they are going to make will come from human thinking. Can they be sure that this is what they want? They may amplify something good. They may also amplify something really bad. How can they be sure that they don’t need Mother Nature’s approval anymore?
They need to find a better way to use their brain.
Science starts with analysis. It is only the beginning. It is a point of entry for human thinking. It is good to break a problem into small pieces, hoping that the smaller pieces will have smaller problems. After they solve the small problems, they can put the pieces back together. This is treating Mother Nature like a machine. You take it apart and find out which part needs to be replaced.
A better way to use their brain is to synthesize rather than analyze. After noticing something special in Nature they should look for something similar elsewhere. Is there a general idea implemented in many ways, right under their nose? This is how they discovered the fractals. It took us many years, but they finally did it.
I am getting worried. It is not in their brain that I am going to find an explanation for their fulgurant development of the last 200 years.
