Encouraging the formation of new ideas
The human brain is a marvelous computation device, it enables us to form ideas based on our surroundings, our knowledge, our memories and our beliefs (which in it self of course is a set of ideas). Let’s call these factors on which ideas are based as information flow. I did in a prior blog explain the conscious and the subconscious as different sets of algorithms used to access and process the information flow within the human mind, I’m going to further elaborate on this in a new direction trying to explain the generation of ideas. Everyone can relate to the sensation of having an idea, it can be a small one or a big one. It may concern the very present or the distant future, it may concern your self or humanity as a whole. Many ideas are thrown away...

There are several destructive forces within us which we need to conquer. Bad self-esteem is one of them, spiting one self is another. I’d argue that the most destructive force of them all is fear, this primal drive that supposedly is meant to save us from harm. How does it fit in into todays advanced and comfortable society? Fear sure is interesting, it hinders us from subjecting our selves to dangerous situations like climbing mountains, going to war or driving too fast. But wait a minute, people do those things all the time right? People are so obsessed with this emotion of fear that they can get obsessed with conquering it, like with a drug they get addicted to subjecting them selves to more and more dangerous situations just to feel the thrill of...
Read MoreOur different personalities
I hung out with some newly found friends a couple of weeks ago, one of them talked about the Myers-Briggs psychology, which I hadn’t heard of before. As it intrigued me I took a test defining my four functions, I’m apparently an INTJ which is short for: Introverted, iNtuitive, Thinking and Judging. To my astonishment this personality profile explained my drives, preferences and even my personal and social quirks. (If you take the test, don’t read about your supposed personality type on that page, google another more thorough article.) I believe that people can be whoever they want to be, that our only limitations are fear and not believing in our selves. And I still believe this… The Myers-Briggs personality type doesn’t really...
Read MoreMental frameworks
A mental framework is a system applied to your mentation, it’s purpose is to give your mind automated processes to handle certain thoughts, feelings or situations. This does in fact happen all the time for everyone but we are seldom aware of it. An example I’m guessing we all can relate to is our response to the questions “How are you” or “What’s up” when asked by someone you don’t know of care for. We don’t debate the issue with our selves , we just give them a short answer without thinking twice about it because it is an automated process. Now; imagine that you could consciously build your own mental frameworks to potentially automate any process? That is what I have been experimenting with, consciously...
