The evolution of our brain has come with a high cost because it now roughly consumes twenty five percent of the energy produced in the body. It has been found that is constantly making combinations of a group of length waves that ultimately indicate the state of the mind: deep thinking, half asleep, deep dreaming, etc. Such waves must thrive in a competitive space already full of information from all kind of signals sent to be captured back by a myriad of artifacts (i.e. cell phones and TV receivers).

Sometimes I compare this space to a huge board –must be my profession as a teacher, that we all suppose to use responsibly to solve our whole human kind problems. Many might go by in life without ever giving it a try when having the opportunity while few fight real hard to have a chance to write something important because is always full of old data that must be compressed and/or erased to accommodate new information. After all, does it matter if anyone is able to come up with answers when those in power are engaged in trying to maintain the status quo? My “own” theory of how our turns to the board are programed is as follows.



From Wikipedia:
Leo Joseph Ryan, Jr. (May 5, 1925 – November 18, 1978) was an American politician of the Democratic Party. He served as a U.S. Representative from California's 11th congressional district from 1973 until he was murdered in Guyana by members of the Peoples Temple shortly before the Jonestown Massacre in 1978.

After the Watts Riots of 1965, then-Assemblyman Ryan took a job as a substitute school teacher to investigate and document conditions in the area. In 1970, he investigated the conditions of California prisons by being held, under a pseudonym, as an inmate in Folsom Prison, while presiding as chairman of the Assembly committee that oversaw prison reform. During his time in Congress, Ryan traveled to Newfoundland to investigate the practice of seal hunting.
