What’s it all About? Chpt 8
December 26th, 2009 Posted in Boomer News, Philosophy, social scienceSince 1500 until the present time the speed of new technologies being by introduced by science has been mind boggling. The way humans think and their beliefs has not advanced quick enough to react and adjust to what humans are now doing to mother Earth.
Nature is continuously changing and continuously trying to achieve a balance in all things. Good things happen when mother nature is able to keep things near equilibrium. Bad things happen when mother nature needs to make a drastic correction to restore balance. Humans have not learned to be balanced in all things. Unsustainable growth is a huge elephant in the house that humans live in … yet they can’t seem to see the elephant.
Science has progressed in so many fields so that now they are at the interface between what is possible to know and what isn’t possible to know. A good example Kids; Cosmology has reached the very interface of a black hole. The black hole’s event horizon is an invisible sphere beyond which we cannot investigate because we cannot see what is inside. This is literally being at the interface of what is possible to know and what is not possible to know.
The universe and the human mind with it’s conscious thought are the two most complex systems that that we have to understand. In recent years we have learned a lot about our universe … but not as much about human behavior. Neuroscientist are beginning to make progress. Will they be able to teach humans how to expose their own erroneous beliefs? Like your grandpa is trying to do with this experiment?
