Critical thinking aka not paying attention in class

1 10 2007

OK. the solar system. planets revolve around the sun, moons revolve around planets. but what do solar systems do? are they magnetic? are they revolving around something like planets around the sun? what’s keeping systems in place of not crashing? is it like gravity – an omnipresent force of some sort?

I’ve been thinking about how the mind works and how people believe it to be divided. like reason and want and all that. I can understand needs being seperate of wants. like when someone starves so much that they forget about people and revert back to animal instincts (cannibalism). I can see how the brain functions to move the body but is there anything in my brain that controls what I think? and how I think?
