so much to be aware of

You may have noticed that we are living in an age of innovation. Signs are everywhere.  Many schools and colleges teach courses on innovation. People want to create a thriving, popular business in their garage.  We are teaching critical thinking in our schools.


All this thinking, testing, experimentation, entrepreneurship, all these startups and product modifications complicate things.  It is not just the US. Many nations, businesses and schools, many researchers in electronics, physics, chemistry, genetics, computing, artificial intelligence are striving for big improvements, surprising inventions, valuable discoveries.  What a pulsating, challenging world!


Guess what? It doesn't compare to what is in your head and mine.  We have 86 Billion neurons. We only have 7.5 or so billion humans.  Right in the ol' noggin! 86 billion! But that is not the key number because neurons work in groups, nets, connections.  So, we want to know how many ways can 86 billion neurons be connected. But, no, I don't want to see that number! To represent that number, we would need billions and billions of zeros.  Let's just say that our heads have enormous potential, ok?


So, that is why it takes a while to check our thoughts, feelings, memories, impressions, intuitions, hesitations, etc., etc. Knowing yourself is not simple.
