"Reason's Revival: Navigating the Social Landscape of Thought in a Hyperconnected World"
Where does your consciousness reside? Is it confined within the confines of your skull? I mean, that's where your brain is located — and your brain engages in the intricate processes of memory, planning, judgment, and problem-solving. However, consider this: you also recall and plan using external tools, objects like these and that. Problem-solving and judgment involve a myriad of external factors as well. Upon reflection, you realize that while the brain is essentially a wet mass of fat and protein, no more substantial than a block of tofu, the MIND is something far more expansive. It's an ever-expanding entity composed of not just organic tissue but also elements of wood, stone, steel, and the collective consciousness of people. Thanks to communication, we can even extend our minds to others, making them extensions of our cognitive abilities. By merely asking, we tap into their memories, perceptions, and knowledge. No need for me to become an expert in car repair, medical practice, rubber vulcanization, or omniscience — others handle that for me, just as I contribute to their knowledge pool. We are a species of individuals intertwined in a colossal, interdependent organism, a frenzied blend of flesh and concrete, a 'techno sapien' fueled by imagination and passion actualized through the esteemed faculty known as REASON.
