[Goanet] Let Your Mind Wander

2021-11-12 Thread Roland Francis
It’s not just your brain that makes you smart according to Annie Murphy Paul in 
this interesting podcast. She suggests also thinking outside the brain.

“Intelligence is the domain of the mind, that much is obvious. What isn't 
obvious is what makes up the mind. Most people will say the brain, and there 
are hundreds of books that will endorse this.

Science journalist Annie Murphy Paul, author of The Extended Mind, wants to 
dispel us of our brain fixation. It's not that the brain isn't important, or 
even critical, but it isn't acting alone. Paul explores how intelligence is 
tied to the rest of our bodies, to our circumstances and the company we keep.”
