Description
It’s a fact that god created the universe, reality is in three dimensions,
India is a developing country, you need to drink 6-8 glasses of water a
day, that when you meet the right person it will be true love, and if you
eat fat you’re going to get fat. These are indisputable facts. There’s no
place for opinion, or feelings in any of this, right? If you opened your
brain and added up all the time you’ve spent fact-gathering, how much time
do you think that would add up to? How much of what’s in your head are
anecdotes that you repeat and how much are simply true? Even if they’re
not, who’s got time to figure out what the truth is, where to start, and
how to see it?
Certainly, Science is true. That’s the bedrock of our culture. It’s always
been true and it always will be true. That is, until you look to the past
and realize it’s a modern invention not at all shared around the world. It
blows up the closer and closer we get to it. That’s not anti-science
sentiment just that we do need to take a closer look at ourselves, our
minds and how we perceive reality. The closer we look, the more we realize
there’s some pretty big gaps.
