The human brain creates a false memory just a few seconds after the event!
People may misremember events, often within seconds, and reshape memories to fit their expectations. Previous studies have shown that people's perception of their surroundings can be shaped by their expectations, which can lead to delusions. People's long-term memories can also be shaped to fit their expectations, sometimes generating false memories.

Journal Entry: Mental Health Awareness and Advocacy
Journal Entry: Mental Health Awareness and Advocacy As I sit down to write this journal entry, I am reminded of the importance of mental health awareness and advocacy. Over the past few years, I have witnessed a shift in societal attitudes towards mental health, with increased recognition of its significance and the need to prioritize it alongside physical health. As someone who has experienced my own mental health challenges and witnessed the struggles of loved ones, I am passionate about raising awareness and advocating for better mental health care and support systems.

The Power of the Mind/Brain
The brain has been ascribed many abilities it cannot possibly possess from learning, to seeing, to understanding, to knowing, etc. This is the mereological fallacy writ large. Ascribing attributes/characteristics/behaviors to a part or parts of a thing that can only (logically) be applied to the whole thing. Only of a (mostly) whole human person (and some non human animals) with a (mostly) functioning nervous system including a brain can we say they are capable of doing any of those things. Never forget that a brain divorced from a body is a lump of grey matter capable of nothing save a few basic cellular processes and possibly some low level electrochemical (nerve) activity, for a short period of time at least.

The Grandeur of Fancy
“Dream not, Coleridge, of having tasted all the grandeur and wildness of fancy, ‘til you have gone mad.” It is Saturday March 18, 2023, 3:42 p.m. and the police can break in at any time, without a warrant or a Miranda warning, and deposit me at a hospital, behind locked doors, where I can be tied, facedown to a bed, and injected with a chemical sedative. I will have the right to a hearing before a judge, in about three weeks time, to challenge my detention where I can try to convince a judge to rule in favor of me, a mental patient, over a physician. I can be detained for months without access to fresh air or exercise, at the mercy of the one person with more power than the police: the American psychiatrist. With the stroke of a pen, not subject to question or challenge, my constitutional rights evaporate, and not even a writ of habeas corpus can set me free. What is my crime, you ask? I have manic depression.
