The human brain is a jungle part 2:
The web of notes:
This part in the human brain is only for musicians, when you start to memorize and learn music notes, a spider in our brain slowly starts to build a web of music notes.
When you start to forget music notes the web will quickly break down.
The nest of insight:
Intuition (insight) is something that is very common amongst women,
in the human brain intuition takes place in a grassy field, it is activated when a mother bear senses that her child is in danger.
The wings of creativity:
Creativity inside the human brain is controlled by butterflies, the butterflies travel through the right side of the human brain.
But they must be extremely careful because they can get eaten by large bats of narrowmindedness.
If the bats eat too many butterflies, then the brain is feeling very uninspired.
The bite of craftsmanship:
Inside the brain lies the forest of artistic inspiration, a large snake roams through the brain and searches for trees that are worth its venom.
This venom is filled artistic insight and talent.
Once the venom has been inserted, the artistic talent of a human being skyrockets.
The human brain is a jungle part 1
What if the human brain functioned as if it was one very large jungle?
The trees of time:
A small tunnel of trees, at the very end stands a clock.
The distance between the start of the tunnel and the clock is exactly 60 steps.
With each step a secons passes by, once the clock has been reached, the clockwiser shall move and the whole proces will repeat itself.
The cave of logic:
Inside the human brain lies a cave, this cave is filled with wall paintings that explains the history of logic.
When a person is very logical, the paintings are very accurate and clear, but illogical people have very vage and bad wall paintings.
The valley of words:
When you’re talking or writing you’re basically searching for the words you’re trying to say or write.
Inside the human brain there’s a valley that’s filled with words, the bigger your vocabulary is, the bigger the valley is.
The arithmetic river:
Arithmetic in the human brain is basically one large river filled with numbers.
Basically when you’re calculating, you’re fishing for the right number.
When it’s a very difficult question, it becomes very hard to find and catch the right number, sometimes you’re unable to catch it.
The bridge of memories:
Memories in the human brain are stored on a very large bridge that’s located in the central area of the brain forming a divide between the left and the right side.
The older or less important memories are stored at the end of the bridge, the more important / recent memories stay at the front.
The older you get the bigger the cracks in the bridge become, that’s how memories fall of and are lost forever.
