Knowing [[id:25fb4ebf-2cc4-40fe-93ad-37a79aedfb41][The basics of memory]], our neurons represent more like a web of thoughts.
|
|
Innovation often comes from combining aspects from a network of ideas.
|
|
Our brain is good at relating each topic with something else.
|
|
|
|
This is subtly present in daily life mostly filled with comparisons.
|
|
|
|
- Most conversations — e.g., "X is just Y but better", "Cuphead is the Dark Souls of run-and-gun", "Markdown is simplified HTML".
|
|
- In marketing — e.g., "This is just Y but cheaper", often features comparison with other products, our tendency to equate price to quality.
|
|
- In learning — e.g., "FANBOYS" to describe the English conjunction words, "Every good boy does fine" to describe the notes placed in the lines of the music sheet.
|
|
|
|
When knowing a new topic, we strive to compare between the new and the familiar things.
|
|
This tendency also stems to nostalgia.
|
|
Whenever we walked into an old place, we associate the olden days with it.
