Dear Jezreel, Such a beautiful concise response that aligns with Guy Claxton's worldview. The human brain does not make decisions it merely hosts conversations.

Many behaviourists embrace Watson and Skinner's black box psychology, which is often exacerbated by an extremely narrow and militaristic perception of culture as the way we do things around here.

This typically disregards critical concepts such as embodiment and personhood and undermines communities of practice, interaffectivity, incidental learning, ecoliteracy and discernment. We know far more than we can say.

The black box psychology of behaviourism attempts to square the circle and turn our 3.14159 recurring subjective minds (the head, heart and gut) into one objective brain and ignores the dynamic power of the collective unconscious.

Decision making throughout our lives is nothing like a sterile accounts ledger or an event tree analysis diagram littered with binary and/or gates.

Indeed many important decisions such as getting married, having children, buying a house or purchasing a car are neither ration or irrational and are more often arational.

I think poetics brings the correcting balance to scientific mentality and that the multiverse is vast and complex enough to absorb both.

I want to raise this poem and call out to Jezreel for more.

It is a magnificent creation.

It sings and soars.

It restores history to me.

It returns the spirit of who we are and who we can be, again.
