The Results of an Unscientific Poll

I've been asking the women I know, in an unscientific manner how they actually look at the world. And it appears to me that the the majority of the women I ask, use much more of their periphrial vision than do the men. They have a wider screen. And I wonder how that effects cognation, and whether it means that women have more attention in their attention pool than men.

I spoke to my friend Jeremy, a newly minted Psych Ph.D. whether or not it were possible for us to increase our total amount of attention because it seems the current conventional wisdom is that attention is a finite limit, and the more we pour into examining our periphrial vision, the less we have for other matters.

I, of course, believe that we can make the pool larger through meditation, and am in the process of beginning to meditate more, as well as try to be aware of my periphery better, though the past week at home hasn't really helped seeing as I've just been in my cave, now that I'm back at work, I will try to spread that awareness.
