The Extended Mind thesis

The Extended Mind thesis suggests that our thinking isn't limited to our brains alone but includes tools, objects, and even other people that we use to process and store information. For example, writing notes or using a calculator can become an extension of our mind, helping us think and solve problems more effectively. It challenges the idea that cognition is confined within our skulls, emphasizing that external resources can be integral parts of our mental processes when they are actively involved in our reasoning.
