Sense Seeking Creatures

Notes

We humans have a nature that opposes the external nature. We look for patterns even when there are none.

We are also quick to assume causality even though in many cases it is a false assumption Correlation is not causation. We bend the external world to our beliefs Manifesting imposes beliefs onto reality rather than accepting it, look for moral justifications in reality Confusing current reality with how things should be blocks change, and create such reasons if reality fails to provide the necessary evidence We justify our conclusions after acting, not before.

All this goes to show that instead of matching our view based on the world and its facts, we try to bend it to match our internal reality, or to act as if our internal reality is the correct view of reality itself Truth and goodness are defined by practical usefulness. We try to make sense of a world filled with Randomness may be an illusion created by incomplete knowledge and Uncertainty creates anxiety when knowledge and control are incomplete, in an attempt to deny the Life has no predefined meaning we can discover.
