I haven't posted in a very long time. I am now a junior in high School.

It really surprises me every time I read something from my past, messages over Facebook, post's on this blog. It's all documentation of my recent intelligence.

Which begs to question, how much do we change exactly? Well, I know at least that your brain is constantly changing with it's changing environment.

I see the human brain, in computing terms, to be a very humble processor. Although you think you can "think" quite a bit, you tend to run more on memory than actual thought. Just think about it, when do "you" really do anything that "you" decided to do?

Ok, well that sounds pretty stupid, of course you can decide what you do and what you don't do. But it's why you do it that relates to your memory. So all you really think about is why you should, or shouldn't do that deed, in accordance to your experiences, and others experiences.

But why did I use quotation marks on the You? It's sad to explain this, but what You are is a bunch of connections. Things you have learned over your years on this planet, And you're constantly learning new things. It puzzles me, but i think a good way to explain this is to look at civilization, if people just magically invented things, wouldn't we have advanced into a perfect civilization by now? No, because advancement comes from advancement. From the second Benjamin Franklin discovered the powers of electricity, to the first micro-processor. Is basically a spec in the development of, well, us. And yet it has made more of a change in our daily lives, than all of our ancestors combined.


Another aspect of the idea that contributes to this phenomenon, is the fact that people tend to follow, other than be followed. So when you have one hundred people following one person, instead of one hundred people following themselves. There is much less differentiation among the populace.


But why are we so different than other people? Well, I honestly think people weren't all that much different a long time ago. We just have more chances to be different.
