Um no, damned sure you took that article out of context. Just like you want to claim "theory" in scientific language cant make predictions, which it does.
Yes clicked on that link, and it yep, you took that out of context.
The authors were NOT saying the heart could function like a brain all by itself. What they are saying, is really not new. But in that our fight or flight evolution causes our organs to work in concert to let us know when something is wrong. But, again, they are NOT saying the heart is a brain itself, They are saying our brain stem, which regulates our organs have a neurological connection, and that is true, But you are being disingenuous.
All it is saying is that ON AVERAGE, the more active you are ON AVERAGE, the better the odds that you will have better cognitive responses.
What it does not take into account however, is as "wise" as a person might be, is our same species can be healthy and survive and still base that success on false claims. The Ancient Egyptians were successful for 3,000 years falsely believing in the sun God Ra, and no, I can't build a pyramid. I wouldn't even know where to start. But all that success didn't make Osiris, Isis or Horus real.
"Wise" is a relative term. I see wisdom in every religion. Motifs of kindness, empathy and compassion exist in every religion. But, that "wisdom" isn't a product of the divine, but a product of our evolution.
Quote:Quote article...."“We already knew that people with greater variation in their heart rate show superior performance in the brain’s executive functioning such as working memory,” says Prof. Grossmann. “However, that does not necessarily mean these people are wiser – in fact, some people may use their cognitive skills to make unwise decisions. "
"UNWISE DECISIONS"
You missed that part.
What they are saying, is that if you exercise your odds of turning on a dime(even if just making a sudden decision) when need be increase, they are not saying that turning on that dime will always lead you in the right direction.
I didn't say "by itself." They work as a system. Additionally, you just stated the opposite in terms of rationale. It's predominantly the lower activity, as stated in the research.
Quote from you:
"All it is saying is that ON AVERAGE, the more active you are ON AVERAGE, the better the odds that you will have better cognitive responses."
Quote from journal info:
"The new study is the first to show that the physiology of the heart, specifically the variability of heart rate during low physical activity, is related to less biased, wiser judgment..."
