Cerebral Capacity

Albert Einstein once wrote, "The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking. " Sure it is to this day that I am in awe of this man's thoughts. His objectivity is highly admirable. 

The reason I quoted Albert today is because my mind has kept going back to these words all day after watching the movie Lucy. Well, I will spare you the details of the movie as I don't want to be the spoil sport for those who haven't watched it yet. Long story short, it's about what we are capable of at different cerebral capacities. Fiction of course but brain, behaviour and mental process being an area of personal interest, I picked up a lot of symbolism in the plot. 

So today I kept thinking of Einstein's words: The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking.......the truth in these words could never be more tangible. Well, scientists have long proven that our insights and perceptions are shaped by both nature and nurture (the nature vs nurture battle is long over incase you didn't know). This then means no two people can perceive something in exactly the same way. If we all sat staring at a pen for example, we rely on the pool of all our experiences and physiological resources to draw a perception. Being that no two individuals will ever have identical of these two, it follows then that the perceptions will be different on more than one level. 

Does wrong exist then? Or is the truth just a fact backed by the most? What if those whose perceptions we regard as deeply flawed, have a deeper insight than most, but due to the lack of numbers, we toss out their insights? Because their theories can not be replicated by another, we are quick to disregard them.... What if they do actually have a slightly higher percentage of cerebral usage but are unaware of the same? Just what if? 

Take perception of colour for example. Men lead a very simple lifestyle. Their responses to questions leave little to question. They are straight to the point. Their response to such a text message from a lady as, " hey, can we do a movie tonight? I heard 'if I stay' Is showing," would be ,"okay."  A female's response you ask? It would go as something like this, " really?? okay I'd love to if you are free." Women always leave their messages be it verbal or otherwise open for interpretation, debate and as a template to be built on.  Is the contrast in the manner in which males and females approach life brought out in their perception of colour? Men care about only 6 colours, period. A man who knows what turquoise is has ruined an item of that colour and has had to replace it. Women on the other hand?? Intricate colours, just like our messages....... Coincidence?? I think not.  

If we could at least attempt to explain the differences of perception in males and females, why then can't we pay closer attention to those things we deem as 'bogus' for lack of better word? Is it as bogus, or is it that we just can't figure it out??
