    How Do We Think

    Visit Substack to Delve into How We Think

    We explore how biological needs give rise to emotion, emotion forms associative patterns, and language both reflects and reshapes our outlook. Discover how the mind weighs emotion against logic in shaping behavior.
    Each step rests on the brain’s All-or-Nothing firing, where near matches are treated as exact— and abstraction gives rise to emergent insight.
