start help: Hello. - Help.com

Hello.

I would appreciate help brainstorming. I would like everyone to list things people do with their brain. I will start a small example list:

Think
Communicate
Learn
Think critically

Replies can be short or long. Duplicates are all right. Please help me think about this. Thanks.

It may be a representation of instinctive (I mentioned) motor control (you mentioned, along with another person) But that’s all right. I said duplicates were all right. So are different expressions.

I seriously think it’s just that the two different sides handle different functions. Sort of like a multi-core processor. Both of them can do tasks per thought cycle.
