People who select the second option often ask why the canyon relies on mules rather than horses. ![]() In those tense moments, riders often try to take control of the animal to steer it away from the edge, but despite their effort, the mule refuses to obey. Often, just as the mule takes a step, its hoof will slide on a lose rock, threatening to dump the animal and its rider off the treacherously high perch. The mules walk the steep, hazardous trek on the outer edge of the trail, their hooves just inches away from the rocky cliffs. Although this second option is less strenuous because it requires less footwork on your part, it is not without its dangers. Source: grand-canyon-646254_1920 Pixabay jrslocumĢ. (Note: If you want to learn about the automatic mind in greater detail, see Malcolm Gladwell’s excellent book “Blink”) Without it, our brains would have to process each piece of information one by one. It scans all the sounds and sights and smells that constantly bombard your brain, interprets and organizes the information, then decides if it should be discarded or if deeper processing is in order. The automatic system occurs outside of our conscious awareness and essentially is the part of our mind that handles all the dirty work in order to make our lives easier. When you are trying to make a conscious decision (e.g., Should I eat the brownie or the apple?) it is your controlled system that weighs the pros and cons and ultimately decides which food item to eat. People generally assume they are aware of everything that happens in their own mind, but in fact, they are really only aware of this controlled aspect. The controlled system is the part of our mind that we are consciously aware of and is within our control. ![]()
