profoundly this analogy reframes our understanding of mental processes
the myriad ways in which we “use the world to think”
millennia of first-hand experience from the lives and letters of great artists, scientists, inventors, and entrepreneurs.
"Thinking outside the brain means skillfully engaging entities external to our heads — the feelings and movements of our bodies, the physical spaces in which we learn and work, and the minds of the other people around us — drawing them into our own mental processes. By reaching beyond the brain to recruit these “extra-neural” resources, we are able to focus more intently, comprehend more deeply, and create more imaginatively — to entertain ideas that would be literally unthinkable by the brain alone."
“Our minds are all threaded together,”

Frames skew our view if the world when it comes to maps.
Mercator projection vs real size. We see mis-framing about counties.
If you believe this mis-framing, you could believe Greenland could beat Africa in a wrestling match by looking at the map. But USA, Russia, Greenand and Canada are the most oversized countries

Feelings Are Real, Stories Are Hypotheses
In our daily interactions—whether at work, in friendships, or at home—we often sense when something is “off” before we can clearly articulate what that something is. This fuzzy feeling of discomfort or unease is a powerful signal, yet many of us hesitate to name it because we don’t fully understand the problem. What if, instead of waiting for full clarity, we embraced the art of framing our intuitions early on?
Framing is about how we present and shape our perceptions and experiences. When it comes to interpersonal dynamics and conflict, the right frame can transform vague feelings into productive conversations. Here’s how to harness framing to name the unseen before you understand it fully—and why it matters more than you might think.

You can tell a lot about a person by what frame they choose to see you in.
