Get Smart *Act 3.1 intermission*A Story by TearflowContinuation of act 3Let's Talk about thinking They say a normal human uses 10% of his brain is it true? Honestly I don't care whichever it is. False,true, reality or myth it all drops down into a single word It's how we 'think' Think might be a simple word but it has a profound meaning that might even go under our nose. We often hear the words associated with it like: "What were you thinking?" "What do you think?" "Are you thinking?" This are also simple phrases for the simple word. Many of the replies associated with it are: "Good enough" "Nah whatever" "It's fine" "Looking good Johnny!" Okay that last one doesn't belong to the group [Kudos to those who know] but jokes aside do you think those replies covers the entire action of thinking? Let's say the 10% myth as an example for a normal conversation, It goes like this: "Hey [Insert generic character name here] what do you think about us humans only using 10% percent of our brain?" "Wow really? is it true?" "I don't know that's why I'm asking so what do you think?" "Well like I know the answer! I'm hungry let's grab a bite to eat" "Sure!" Well that went on something I didn't expect. as you can see our characters divert to the original topic into well... food Now here's the catch did they think? You might answer: of course no because the original question is not answered Well guess what? they did think and performed proper cognitional functions and that function leads into something I like to call 'Insufficient information' as we see the two both don't have an Idea about the topic at hand since they don't have a source of information they can use, One of them suggested another topic and that's food. and where did that came from? out of nowhere? that's right he thought about it. But why? It's because of the Insufficient information they have about the 10% myth, without anymore to say the other character might have misheard 'myth' with 'meat' which made him think about food, and made him think about eating, then the list just goes on and on. So you might ask what's the point?! Easy, You're thinking, we're all thinking! But what differentiates us from one another is where do we focus it, like the two they didn't decide to pursue the issue of the myth and just proceeded with the food instead of one of them suggesting to research about it to know the truth than just a hearsay. This of course influence our daily lives since thinking about priorities will surely have a different outcome form those who thinks about enjoying life because YOLO, Thus Thinking is a simple object with two sharp end point, think of it like a gun. You should know where to point it. And I know where to point it of course.. I'm gonna find them... Mom...Dad... Hope you're both safe.... Intermission end.
