Simplification of thinking

The brain - an extremely energy-intensive body. Fairly large amounts of oxygen and glucose are necessary gray matter to work at an optimal level. Accordingly, the body is trying to as little as possible to resort to complicated calculations and act as quickly as possible. This is why the brain creates concise scripts that run respectively with the situation.

We do not need to re-think in the current situation, because much easier to repeat the actions that had once tested positive. And the man, realizing this, creates the world warning of unusual situations. Each of us knows his route to work, know who would have to say hello, anyone can find the steps you need to perform. We act in accordance with basic instructions, and it supports our confidence. The brain is only occasionally interferes with the obvious action, slightly changing and adjusting them.

But there on the set of executable instructions - it is impossible. First of all it hurts thinking. The second - killing a person on the vine. The third - the world provides us with new scenarios and objectives, and if running away from them, then we can never develop. Man simplifies the action tends to reduce the costs, but is forced to sacrifice what is the basis of life. And if we do not want to be a biological machine, you should at least try to match the level to which we aspire.
