Despite Pnoys effort, we cant change the plight of masses, if they do not change their mindset

It is about getting better...

Rizal Philippines | July 31, 2014

Many remarked that despite the drum beating of the President in last Monday's State of the Nation Address, nothing has changed;  their lives are still the same and the government has not delivered.

What a narrow and wrong mindset.  If their mindset is still that the government/PNOY will do everything for them, that they are political dependents, then thats it.   Activists are fighting feudalism, and yet our bulk of population are still prisoners are prisoners of feudal mindset.

Are we really free

You cant change the world, Philippines if you cant change the yourself and your thinking

We will not improve if this the way our people think, and in that respect, our educational system;  our system of values has failed misereably.

Battle of the sexes: who is superior: men or women?

It is about getting better...

Rizal, Philippines  July 11, 2014

Nat Geos Brain games had this question and was was answered in a very interesting experiment.  There was paired comparison of men and women groups on the following:

1,   Color perception

2.  Spatial reasoning

3.  Following detailed instructions

4.  Remembering faces and names

5.  Spatial memory

The women were clear winners in:  color, detailed instruction, remembering names.    Men won in spatial reasoning, spatial memory

It was a tie.   Enough of the talk on battle of the sexes

Your brain, not your vision can lie to you

It is about getting better...

Nat Geo Brain Games

Which has greater sway on what you see?  Your brain or your eye?  This much  learned from Nat Geo brain games.

Our eye's fovea has only 1/10 of the retina area dedicated to the focus of the images seen, yet 1/3 of our brain is  dedicated to vision.

Our vision is governed by many visual cues:  shadows, background, past experience, peripheral vision.

For instance the Beughet chair, and Ames room can be used and has been used by psychologists to trick many people.  Magicians, and Mr. Apollo Robbins has shown the secret of many magic and tricks as seen on TV.  The lights, the decor are diversionary and deceptive.

What we see are not what they seem to be
