How does our body know what to do and can schedule different processes when as a whole, a person can’t organise or schedule themselves?

For eg: Most of the time, our bodies wake up, digest food, maintain hormone levels, defends itself, sends reminders when we need something etc. Individual organs are not intelligent but come together to form an “intelligent” human being. If processes on a smaller level work so well together, why are we as individuals so stupid, lazy and unorganised?

Because those are all things that are controlled involuntarily and unconsciously. Part of your nervous system is dedicated to managing all that stuff and you aren’t aware of it and can’t control it. All of those functions happen on their own without any control or input from you.

Think about it like this. Let’s say you’re using your computer a lot and its getting hot, so the fans speed up to keep the computer cool. You didn’t need to tell your computer to do that, it’s part of its programming to manage that on its own while you browse reddit or play games or watch Netflix, which are the choices and decisions you’re making and are aware of.
