This is exactly correct. You “mind” is a product of your brain. It has evolved to help us survive. Due to evolution, your mind has become very adept at pulling external and internal stimulations together almost instantaneously, to form a coherent, but not necessary accurate, sense of what is going on around you. That allows you to quickly make a decision about how to react, so that you can survive.

A large part of that reaction is driven by your emotions; various degrees of the flight or fight response. Our ability to use logic, to plan, to think an idea through, uses different parts of the brain. That takes a lot of training and experience to be used well. It is obvious that many people do not have the opportunity, or do not make the effort, to develop those skills.

Look around, humanity may not survive until the year 3000. We have not really developed the skills we need to deal with the new, technology driven, world we have created.
