RE: Some pattern that I used to know
This makes perfect sense. My brain seems to shut down a lot when I am reading fiction. This totally explains why. It sees it as old information and, therefore less valuable. If I am reading something factual I am always able to pay attention and follow what I am reading. I know you weren't talking about fiction here. I was just applying this to my personal traits. It makes sense now. I thought maybe I had ADHD or something because I always seem to zone off when new facts are not being presented, even if its something that I am enjoying. I mostly enjoy factual material though.
the other time the brain tunes out is when it meets information that it doesn't know. Not knowing feels uncomfortable so the brain avoids it and says, i don't need to know that.
Yeah. That makes sense too. That really doesn't happen to me too often. Lol. I'm not saying that I know everything. Just saying that I recognize the difference in your points. I love information that I don't know but my brain will tune out when I feel that information, is being presented which I will never fully understand. I love the feeling of information that I didn't know but I can comprehend. Quantum physics does that to me, yet I am still boggled by time travel.
