Our brains are our local, mobile computers that we rely upon every minute of every day to support us in our life processes. Furthermore, they are in a life-long, constant state of being ‘programmed’ by external ephemera and inputs beyond ourselves, some positive, some negative. As such, it is critical that we take an active role in the ‘programming’ our brains absorb, being wary of the programming maxim that garbage in = garbage out. Only we can determine for ourselves what to let in, what to let stick and what to discard of this constant influx, and when we neglect to take responsibility for this, others have an opportunity to influence us in ways (usually negative) that we do not necessarily intend or desire.
