YOU ARE WRONG!

We are almost always wrong, maybe not all the way wrong, but at least a little bit. Even the simplest questions have vast complexities built into them, and understanding that we never fully understand things leads to a much healthier and more effective relationship with the world.

It's really hard to come to terms with, but there it is. If you're curious about why we don't drink Pig's milk, Hank Sock posted an essay that is online at http://nerdfighters.ning.com/profiles/blogs/pigs-milka-guest-post-from

You wan't something frustrating?

NO EDGE.

[talyashatzky]

if we, as humans, are almost always wrong, couldn't the assumption that we are almost always wrong be wrong?

@talyashatzky You have just created an infinite loop. Or I could be wrong.

I just lost the game.....

We are consistently wrong, from birth to death as a single unit and as masses...that's life. E.g. Your glasses are the WRONG size (singular). The invention of glasses has led to the expansion of a weak eye gene in the modern population (masses).

@talyashatzky no

It's amazing how Socrates, hundreds of years before we even started counting years, already discovered this, and that it's still true. Actually now that I come to think of it, it's also scary.

@PollyBreedDumb "wan't" ?

The truth resists simplicity.

The word? It's called oxymoron... Yeah, I knew that without looking it up :)

I actually came to this conclusion for myself today actually. It's probably a function of the limitations of our brain and our limited exposure to the different environments the universe has to offer. Our brain is just really really good at making stuff up and convincing us that it's true. That's sort of how it functions. Your brain is run by committee, and much like our own macro committees, our brain is really good at convincing us we know the answers we don't.

Honestly, I wasn't listening to half of the words you just said. I just enjoyed watching you rant! *clicks replay button*... :)
