Somehow I seem to be a bit skeptical about the scientific community. How much of what we know are truly as it is? Can we really take other people’s words for things? One cannot possibly re-address all the experiments ever conducted through science in their life time. So obviously, we would have to take other’s words for whatever they have done. What I’m concerned about is weather or not the experiments were done honestly or not.
What if say, someone who dedicate they’re whole life to studying micro-organisms and such. Given that they are a specialist in their field, they would know best about the subject matter etc. However, through tedious findings what if one cannot find what they are looking for but is persuaded that they are right for whatever reasons they believe that they are? How would we know if what they’ve done and researched are correctly as they have proposed it as such?
Did dinosaurs really exist? Or could someone have just fudged it and created false replications? How can someone re-construct parts of an animal from just a single fragment of the body plan? Doesn’t that just leave everything else up to speculation and to the imagination? Has man created the world around them in their own image? And by image I guess I mean something along the lines of what they think it to be or believe it should be. Man descending from Apes?
ON HAPPINESS:
"One swallow does not make a summer, neither does one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy." ~Aristotle
What does it mean to be happy? One can give various definitions to a state of happiness as they have experienced it. However, I believe that it’s something that does not last forever. One’s feelings and such fluctuates as they’re exposed to conditions in their daily lives that trigger other emotions. Furthermore, if something or someone makes you happy now, will or can they keep you happy forever or in the future? We often times relate our emotions to things that make us feel that way. Why not just feel for the sake of feeling? Not because of any extrinsic factors but because we are the way we are when we are how we are etc etc.
Would it be too obscure to remove the self from the world? People would then have no purpose, nothing to move them, or drive them in whatever direction they would want to go, they would be lost in insecurity. Why are people so afraid when they are faced with uncertainty? Is there something horribly wrong with not knowing anything for a definitive fact? Must we construct and limit ourselves to definitions, ways of living, rules. Etc etc? However, one could argue that without rules we would be barbarians. If anyone can do anything and everything they wanted to, what would prevent them from conducting malignant acts just because they are capable of it? But I say rules are to regulate the mass. It’s a mechanism of control and extortion from those who are in power. It is the uneducated mass allowing themselves to be tools and giving POWER to those who are smart enough to extract it. Without rules and regulations, and if men are moral beings, then people would be capable of regulating themselves and their actions towards virtuous conducts. I fail to believe that men (as in mankind/ humans) are moral beings. Perhaps some, but not all. Or could it be that we are, it’s just that morality is dormant in the minds of many. Hmmm… that’s giving humans too much credit so I’d like to believe the former. =X In addition I’d like to point out that political theories at heart are valid or sufficient to some certain extent. Even if they do differ in principles, it is all aiming at bettering a society. However, in practice they undeniably fail at preserving their aims. And for that very reason I wish not to concern myself with political issues etc etc. but for some strangely odd reason I’m drawn to them from time to time. =( |
