What’s behind intuition? Busting the myth about ‘activating’ it
“I would like to point out that my intuitive idea about intuition relies on the fact that it is about experience. For example, you know that your brother is in love with comic books. —>You secretly steal one of them from his shelf. —>You read it while sipping a glass of orange juice in your bed.—> Balls the cat jumps out in the bed and spills the orange juice over your pyjama and the comic book. Then you intuitively know your brother will be mad at you even if he’s not there at the moment to react in any given way and immediately. That’s why I think it comes from experience: the experience that your brother is angry when you take one of his comic books and ruin it.”
Cerebros interconectados
“No tengo ni la más remota idea, pero sí que existe un fenómeno entre dos o varios cerebros al que le llamamos inter-brain synchrony, o lo que vendría a ser sincronización entre cerebros.
- ¿What? ¿Varios cerebros se pueden sincronizar? - pregunta Gonzalo, mientras se estira un moco de la nariz, y hace una pelotilla.
- Pasen unos segundos con esta frase en la mente y díganme que no les explota la cabeza, por favor - le zumbo a la clase entera.
- ¿Y cómo se puede saber eso? ¿Cómo se sincronizan los cerebros?”
Una pequeña historia familiar
"Siempre fuiste un chico inquieto...
Tengo 44 años tía, no soy un niño.
¿Y te pagan por eso? - era su máxima inquietud.
Bueno, en general sí... En esta vida sucede de todo - no quería inquietarla."
The Neuroselling Era
In the era of post-pandemic-and-other-disasters pricing inflation, in which -sorry for remembering- we are almost all involved, neuroscience users are not missing the part of the cake.
Neuromarketing thrived in the last 20 years by promising tools and information that would help customer-oriented covering of needs. So, what’s the thing behind it? And what’s my take on it - if anybody cares?
La societat ‘‘HIGH’’
Pensem que som lliures, però tota una generació ha estat sotmesa a la persecució incansable d’un mateix destí. Uns mateixos slogans, uns mateixos filtres a les xarxes socials o uns resultats ipso facto.
Som dependents de la dopamina, perquè, qui més qui menys, està enganxat a alguna cosa. T’ho has preguntat alguna vegada?
health is often overrated
Are you healthy? Do you have a ‘complete’ state of health? Please, be honest…
Why the WHO defined ‘health’ as a complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity when, everybody knows, ‘almost’ nobody has?
Chocolate Ice Cream
Usually you have an idea, you take a decision that you consider appropriate, and you put it into action.
Typically, more often than not, the move goes wrong. You screw up. You spill it all over, sh*! happens, and you make a mess. Damn, it seemed so easy...
Gelat de xocolata
Habitualment tens una idea, prens una decisió que consideres adequada, i la poses en marxa.
Habitualment, o més aviat sovint, et surt malament la jugada. La cagues. L’espifies o emboliques la troca. Punyeta, semblava tan fàcil…
