brain is a brain is a brain - or is it?(g stein)

Interesting (bias?) about Einstein's brain:

If only looking explanation about the Corpus Callosum - area, it
naturally can direct thoughts, but when reading the the below links
about lack of it, one could hypothesize about confirmation bias
(and also what tends to be a problem in machine learning without weighting context / "intelligence" offerings by e.g some security vendots).

Naturally neither existance, or lack of it is only a one variable in
equation, as "gifts" can be thought to be different, and might be more individual than general and might need to require to research more thanindividual parts (it may be difficult to understand universe when looking one planet only).

linearly non-linear

perception, comprehension, prediction - situational awareness - rather:
perception(sa) - comprehension(situational knowledge) - prediction:

- [ ] Humans reason using mental pictures or mental models. These pictures or models determine how we perceive actual and/or imagined objects or situations.
- [ ] We might share these via e.g whiteboards, or get shared pics/models, but understanding always depends on characteristics of people, we are not sharing equal knowledge, thinking from everything.
- [ ] We should design before we plan and execute - during design we should think system object as its own, but also as part of bigger system (thus while eating elephant one piece at the time it still is part of the elephant. Chinese way of troubleshooting is correct in this sense to look pieces and whole - western thinking is divide to pieces and not looking it against larger object).
- [ ] Things (systems) can be:
- [ ] Linear (more parts and more orderly the arrangement)
- [ ] Which are predictable, fixed, regular behaviors
- [ ] automobiles, weapons, bodies, waterfall models, e.g hierarchical management - even when disassembled can be assembled into whole.
- [ ] Utilizing linear thinking into non-linear matters(systems) will cause wrong conclusions (this is the reason why so-called experts fail equally with random opinions - so the problem is not to listen experts but not listen those people who cannot distinguish linear vs non-linear thinking appropriately.)

- [ ] Non-linear (requires looking system as a whole)
- [ ] Which are non-predictable, dynamic, more freedom of action parts do greater the dynamics
- [ ] Greater(different) than sum of their parts
- [ ] Can be modelled in computers, but those models only are representative of it, thus we cannot expect actual system to behave exactly like the model shows.
- [ ] Weather, ecologies, economis, political systems, international relations, wars, campaigns, battles, schools, businesses, security, agile methods etc
- [ ] Those who understand non-linear better are better equipped in prediction (compare unable to predict end of cold war due employing linear ways to non-linear actors).

non-verbal and verbal comms

This post is likely to be edited over time..
conventional wisdom is that 75-80% of comms is non-verbal, while it can be overestimate it holds some truth from the speakers point of view.
however since very rare people are trained into like deception detection analysts or otherwise exposed to behavioural analysis area etc they are likely to interprete non-verbal communication wrongly - like crossing arms, what if i feel comfortable - due we being individuals the person interpreting my message needs to understand my background, how signs mean for me, my personalitype etc, so without knowing these it actually can increase misinterpretation - or rather alternate understanding, disorientation, so limiting extra comms(and assumptions based on gender, race age etc when seeing face to face) helps to go for more universal understanding - thoughts on brain are interpreted by voice/signs done by speaker due no direct brain impulse based comm exist yet.
