Wisdom Series, Day 1:9

Joseph Chilton Pearce pioneers the first of the TMI Wisdom Series. Joe is an author of a number of books on child development. Here he presents the idea of the heart or compassionate mind as another categorization of brain function with equal stature as the thalamus, prefrontal cortex, and lower brain. He believes that active, imaginative play is the most important of all childhood activities because that cultivates a mastery of ones environment. He coins the term "creative competence" to discuss that mastery. Further, children without that form of play develop feeling of isolation and anxiety. He also believes that child parent bonding is important, and blames a lack of breast feeding and modern childbirth as both obstructive to that bonding.

@PinkProgram what are you talking about?? clearly you have missed the point

o.O wait, what? The heart is a muscle and has no neural tissue. The stomach has neurons but not the heart. Humans are not set apart from animals. You are exactly like other primates. The heart cannot think. Do you know anything about your own anatomy? What would a physicist know about biology or psychology? Oh this is pathetic...

Sweet! Thanks so much for the wisdom video series. This old koot has so much knowledge stored up in his ancient, decomposing brain. LoL!  God bless him, he's actually quite coherent even for a young person these days.
