The Stupidity of Perception - Crimson Publishers


The Stupidity of Perception by James F Welles* in Degenerative Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities

In vertebrates, incoming sensory data are picked up by the five major senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. However, even in monkeys, info picked up by the eyes does not go directly from the optic nerve to the visual cortex of the brain; it first passes through temporal lobe where it is edited and modified [1]. In the case of our own species, this process can lead to maladaptation through limited, distorted and/or inventive tinkering with data. It is a feature common to schematic systems and makes stupidity a normal part of the human experience, since stupidity is based on the subjective nature of perception, which requires the observer to be actively involved in the process [2].

The Ideological Basis of Stupidity: Journal of Intellectual and Developmental Disability: Crimson Publishers

Image
The Ideological Basis of Stupidity by James F Welles* in   Crimson Publishers Every belief system is invariably accompanied by an ideology another cultural universal [1] which plays its role in fostering stupidity throughout the human family. As the intellectual face of a given secular dogma which can become nearly theological in nature and disastrous in intensity [2], each ideology provides its believers with a raison d’etre and a logical justification for existence (although it may appear irrational to outsiders if based on flaky assumptions). https://crimsonpublishers.com/didd/fulltext/DIDD.000510.php For more open access journals in  crimson publishers  please click on link:  https://crimsonpublishers.com For More Articles on Journal of Intellectual and Developmental Disability Please click on: https://crimsonpublishers.com/didd/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/salma-kunis-crimson-publishers/ Follow On Publons  ...
