THEN THE SQUID GETS HOOKED
THEN THE SQUID GETS HOOKED
The squid eats a piece of bait and gets stuck on the hook. Once hooked, the squid’s primary purpose of sustenance/eating becomes secondary as the squid’s other senses begin to probe how to release itself from the hook. Survival becomes its primary purpose.
However, if the squid figured out how to release itself in a previous hooking, then it will draw on what it learned last time and try to use the same method to release itself. If it doesn’t work this time, then it will use trial and error based on what it learned in the past and from each tentacle’s current explorations.
The tentacles (aka “senses” in this analogy) explore the situation, each one acquiring information and mixing it with what the others learned in a central location in the brain. Each “piece” of information, from each sense is not whole without the others, but the whole (the central, consolidated mind) cannot be complete without each individual “piece” from each sense.
“STICKS & STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES, BUT WORDS WILL NEVER HURT ME”
This may not be true! Read on……
George Johnson (1991), a science writer and author of
Palaces of Memory: How We Build the Worlds Inside Our Heads,
made the following observations:
Whenever you read a book or have a conversation, the experience causes physical changes in your brain. In a matter of seconds, new circuits are formed, memories that can change forever the way you think about the world. I find that idea so remarkable that for the last three years it has been difficult for me to maintain much of an interest in anything else. How is it that memory leaves its mark so that we are able to carry around the past inside our heads?
It has only been in the last few years that scientists have begun to come up with good theories of how this might happen. By breaking down some of the walls that have traditionally divided their fields, psychologists, biologists, physicists, and philosophers are joining in an attempt to answer some of the great questions of human existence: How do we know what we know? How do we make the mental maps—the structures of memories—that serve as our guides to the world?
It is a little frightening to think that every time you walk away from an encounter, your brain has been altered, sometimes permanently. The obvious but disturbing truth is that people can impose these changes against your will. Someone can say something—an insult, a humiliation—and you carry it with you as long as you live. The memory is physically lodged inside you like a shard of glass healed inside a wound.
For someone who has taken an absolutist view of the First Amendment, this idea raises problems that are difficult to resolve. Freedom of speech is based on . . . [Descartes's] dualist notion that mind and body are separate things. Hurting someone with a rock is different from hurting someone with an idea. But is it really? As science continues to make the case that memories cause physical changes, the distinction between mental violence, which is protected by law, and physical violence, which is illegal, is harder to understand. Who has not had the experience of seeing something so horrible and ugly that it was burned in the brain forever? (Johnson, 1991, preface).
As Johnson explains, people from many diverse disciplines—philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, education, and biology, as well as medicine, law, divinity, business, and linguistics, to name a few—are trying to understand how we come to know what we know. As is often the case with complex ideas, knowing how we know is difficult to explore and articulate. It is, essentially, the mind studying itself.
The Mind & The Body: One Melded Unit
When remembering the punishment received as a child, 32-year old Alice would have preferred a spanking over knowing that her behavior made her mother cry.The sting from the physical spanking abated (but was not forgotten) quickly compared to the emotional scar her mother’s crying caused for her. What affects the body also affects the mind, and vice versa. There are many examples that prove this claim.
Three examples are 1) Aileen Wuornos (a female serial killer who claimed child physical, emotional and sexual abuse), 2) Colin Ferguson (NY subway killer who killed due to being chided by Americans), and 3) Diane Downs (shot her 3 children, diagnosed with Histrionic Personality Disorder, and also claimed she was sexually abused by her father).
The behaviors of these three people were results of both negative physical and negative emotional interaction with others.Were their brains altered by both the rock and the insult? Or did the memories of the rock and/or insult change or enhance the personality traits of these people? Or could their behaviors be a combination of effects? Still, why does Alice remember certain childhood incidents, rock or insultand not others, just as these three people remember rocks or insults that caused them to act?
Each type of visual aid has pros and cons that must be evaluated to ensure it will be beneficial to the overall presentation. Before incorporating visual aids into speeches, the speaker should understand that if used incorrectly, the visual will not be an aid, but a distraction.
