RE: 2 Thought Experiments to Forever change the way you Look at the World + Philosophy Discussion
I must also add that each person's body is different. For an example some people with high metabolism never seems to get fat despite their eating habits (as long as they are not eating junk food all the time). When it comes to personal opinions, things get even more complicated. You can get an average of people's opinions. But their utility is very limited. You can compare some conformist/SJW with another but when it comes to more creative free spirited people, psychology stats become progressively useless.
You have had some great life experiences. Based on the ease of use we have built our lives to depend on certain senses more. People depend more on a smart phone than a $5000 gaming rig or a $9000 laptop. Using visual information is easier. So we tend to depend on them more. This could become a double edged sword. If people don't pay enough attention to tone and other auditory cues, they are asking to get crushed and deceived.
As for the smallest particle - I don't think exist; not as a thing. It'll exist only as a function. What we experience as particles is a collapse of a wave function. In fact There has been zero evidence about the existence of electron. Just like Newton's gravity, it's a story made up to describe a phenomenon. Nobody has observed an electron.
I would think, that is true. In particular when the one who is treated as a patient or a as a person with short comings does not think so. Statistics might be "right" and show a tendency or a probability and nevertheless people reject them. It has nothing to do with logic or a rational mind.
I do that, too. Where I do hesitate, dislike, reject, no statistic in the world can convince me of something I don't want to believe.
Yes, I am on earth for quite a while, now:) and I am glad that I had so many opportunities to experience a great spectrum of being in touch with a variety of things and people.
Smile. That is what I often think. That it is a concept. As concepts can be very very strong they become reality and are treated as truth. Science in some parts is beyond observation but involved with "correlation", right?
