If I am going to find my way into the hearts and minds of people I'm going to have to think like a computer. A smart computer referrences thousands of documents and chooses a good answer using millions of rules.
To people the answer is something you know. It occured to me. It occured to me that people think in the same manner. Given a set of facts and conditions a person will use logic to deduce an answser.
If the premiss is legitimate the facts and the rules and such are interprated correctly the contrapostive will be correct. If the premiss is incorrect the contrapositive will also be incorrect even with impeccable deduction.
In short if you don't have all of the facts you can't make a reasonable choice regardless of how good your logic is.
The difference between smart people and dumb people is the ability to recognize relationships between things and make reasonable connection.
The difference between an enlightened person and smart person is that a smart people know's how to make sense of what he knows and an enlightened person can
make sense of how he knows it and why. People rely way to much on logic versus allowing the creative processes to work.
The average person comes up with a solution based on the information available. The ability to create information based on relationships already established is one that people really need to work on.
What I need to work on is knowing that I think more like a computer than most people. I take a approach each problem with my experience and semantic knowlegde of a given subject along with my problem solving capabilities.
You give people enough time they will figure something out but I'm pretty sure people don't anylized all of the details. People are not deep thinkers. They don't use their entire brain to solve a problem.
I have some issues with certain things. There are some concepts like deception and oneupmanship that I still don't fully understand or is it that I think I'm morally superior? Well actually no it isn't I recognize when people are using
deception. I usually recognize right away when someone is not telling the truth. Most people are terrible liers. Some really big lies take a lot work to figure out but they are still lies. People get caught telling little lies all the time but those really big lies that are complicated
and take up a lot of effort to actually understand are the lies people fail to catch. Mostly because the average person just does not have the encylopedic general knowledge combined with logical deductive reasoning to actually arrive at what is true.
Most people will just take someone else's word for it because they are to mentally lazy to do their own research and do their own reasoning.
There are a lot of lies out there.
Let's look at one.
YOU CAN'T PUT METAL IN THE MICROWAVE! I call fucking bullshit on that one right now. But to understand this you have to know how a microwave works.
You'll have to know a little about electronics bit about physics. But really it has to do with the shape and density of the metal and the size shape or cavity and the output of the megnetron generator vs the proximity of said metal to the megnetron. Some metals will cause arching some will not.
IS WHAT I JUST SAID BULLSHIT? Do you go with the assumption that when you put metal in the microwave it will explode some bullshit like that? If you are like most people you have taken other people's word for it up unitl now.
Should you just take for granted for that something catastophic will happen if you put metal in the microwave? You first clue should be that the inside of the microwave is made out of metal.
You can find all kinds of documentation of people melting gold in microwave ovens. It's a fact you can put metal in microwaves. You have know about physics for it to work. Even with a good general knowledge of physics you may elect not to put anything metal in the microwave. It's a good general rule. There's a lot of variables involved in successfully melting metal in microwave and the average person should not attempt it.
If you are interested in this more do some research on the internet.
Back to the original point. I think that most people don't have the capabilities to understand all of this stuff.
I think most people would rather be told that to try to figure things out for themselves. It's reassuring when someone just tells you versus having to figure out something important or just admitting that you don't know the answer. I suppose that is why so many people turn to superstition for answers.
So I come up with the answers for myself. Do I just realize that everyone around me is a complete fucking idiot. Do I try to drill it into their heads the right answers or maybe trick them into thinking for themselves. I know how that turns out. You tricked us we don't like you.
Though they are being decieved everyday and ecnouraged to vote for things and spend money on things that are not really benifitial to them only benefitial to those who encouraging their behavior. Trust me in that every lie that is their is someone profitting from it somehow. The bigger the lie the more profit.
So in order for people to accept me they are going to have to see my face and hear my words over and over again. People are going to have to take me for granted as part of their everyday lives. But the problem is that people don't know me. I'm going to have to put my face in front of the world. I want the world to see that this is the face of logical person and an honest person. This is the face a person longing to be understood. This is face of a person who accepts that he is complicated and that people may not understand him.
The is the face of a person seeking acceptance where he and can find it. This is a person who wants to share the truth.
