Can Cognition Be Explained by Folk Psychology?
Ever since perception was thought to be regulated by animal spirits, neuroscientists and philosophers have come a long way when discovering cognition. However, there has been a great deal of debate over who should continue the search for answers. Many of the current methods used to explain this phenomenon have been grounded in folk psychology (FP)—which is, briefly, the set of common sense concepts that we use to predict and explain behavior and which many believe fails to offer the reliable explanations that are required for this largely unknown mind to brain relationship. This work identifies the challenges to neuroscientific attempts to understand the mind, including the opinions from Churchland, Slors, Anderson, and Hamilton, each offering their own views on current methods and how research should be continued by neuroscience. As well, we will discuss what challenges may arise and how neuroscientists must work to overcome them.

And when things don’t unfold exactly the way we were hoping them to, we can get pretty bent out of shape. And how often do things actually go the way that we plan? In most cases, not very often.

What Is Your Destiny?
Fate is the idea that our lives may be bound to a fixed set of circumstances. That regardless of our actions, we don’t have much control over our lives because ultimately there is a plan that has already been put in place. There are many theories that exist, however, each of them rightfully open for consideration and discussion. Some may believe that deterministic physical laws of the universe are the governing power over our lives; that every single chemical reaction is predetermined to occur. Others may believe that there is a ‘God’ that has complete control or knowledge over what is going to occur. There has been no proven is no right or wrong answer, these are all only theories.
