It might come as a surprise to learn that the brain responds to training in much the same way as our muscles, even though most of us never think about it that way. Clear thinking, focus, creativity and good judgment are built through challenge, when the brain is asked to stretch beyond routine rather than run on autopilot. That slight mental discomfort is often the sign that the brain is actually being trained, a lot like that good workout burn in your muscles.



My first response was five words. I wasn’t asking for context.
Funny, I seem to recall you replying after that.
Asking for context?
Requiring it.
Nope.
That sounds suspiciously like shutting down discussion, which someone recently advised me is a dick move.
I didn’t.
I have nothing more to add if someone is inferring what I want instead of reading what I say.
Did someone else post this?
Maybe you should read it again?
