Would you like your car to have a powerful mirror such that shows you the origin from which you moved?
Our answer to this question is most likely negative.
There is no point for most of us in such mirrors. What do you think makes a person so interested in such a powerful mirror in his car that he would like to see even the origin in it?
Such a person either possibly has Alzheimer's, or he does not have the clock or specific signs to accurately determine time, and can only determine time by where he is/was. In other words, our imaginary person needs a momentary awareness of his place in order to be able to discern the transition of time during his journey. One of the easiest solutions for him would be to divide the path into smaller and more visible pieces so that the end of each piece is both a new destination and a new origin or the beginning of the next piece. Each piece cannot exceed the maximum length of his car—the only available measurement available to him.
The question is whether our imaginary person merely makes such a segmentation of the path to determine time because his presence in space and time forces him to make such a segmentation of his path, or whether his latent habit of segmenting the path forces him to create imaginary concepts such as space and time for him.
It most likely depends on the type of development and growth of his intelligence. If you are a creature whose mind is suddenly formed and does not undergo any change over time, then such an idea and segmentation will only be made by your mind, which will subsequently create concepts such as space and time and movement in it, which may It really does not exist.
But if your mind has evolved over time, and, more importantly, you are a creature that sees your mother at birth blurry as a single body and details are added to your mother after growth, such as having five fingers with different sizes, in this case, in this case, segmenting the continuous components and differentiating between the parts and the whole of a set will be necessary for your understanding of the environment surrounding you. In fact, you will need such segmentation and differentiating to understand the space and time you are really in. Because you discern your body as a whole such that it is bigger than your little finger as a part. In the absence of such an evolution, it was unlikely that you would perceive space, time, and the environment around you in this way. Evolution, therefore, has left us with no choice but to segment our environment into different parts in order to understand it along with its space and time.
For example, if we evolved in such a way that we grow from old age to childhood, we would certainly have a different perception, so that continuity, instead of segmentation, would be an integral part of our perception. We even could not discern that our body was bigger than our little fingers. Because our brains were supposed to evolve in such a way that our perception goes from the disintegration of our mother's fingers in our old age to their continuity with our blur vision in childhood. It is difficult for us to understand this because we stay in these stages for a short time and spend most of our lives with little change.
Thus, the true and of course complex idea for our imaginary person would be the idea that he segments his path and turn it into an infinite origin and destination so that he can gain an understanding of the path and the space and time in which he is. To this end, he would definitely need a powerful mirror in which he could see all the previous origins and destinations to determine his place, time, and movement during his journey. Because he needs to compare the origin and the destinations ahead with his previous ones in order to recognize that he is moving.
Otherwise, he would have no understanding of his movement, speed, place and time as an evolved being that lived from childhood to Youth.
Creatures looking for powerful mirrors certainly have their brains evolved over time, from weaker vision to stronger vision. strong and weak here do not mean the power of vision or field of vision, but rather the degree of understanding of details of generalities during their evolution. Creatures who make powerful mirrors have certainly lived from childhood to old age. They have definitely gone from a blurry vision in childhood to a clearer vision in youth. They have gone from more vague memories to more stable memories. creatures who have reached to childhood from old age cannot show such a passion for larger and more powerful mirrors, and even such creatures cannot have the characteristic of curiosity.
You may not be very interested in powerful mirrors in your car right now, but you will definitely need them in the future when traveling at very high speeds. Then it will no longer be a question of being interested or excited about them, but then you will need them.
Apart from that, imagine humans evolving from old age to childhood. As we have discussed, such beings could only have an imaginary understanding of space and time, and space and time were made by their minds, even if space and time existed independently in their world. How were they going to deal with these two issues, or did they even realize that there were two different issues? I do not think they were curious enough to seek the answer to such a question, but if we and they could live together, we would definitely become more intelligent beings.

Do you prefer to have your heart beats or it is a necessity?
Do you prefer to protect the Earth from an impact by an asteroid or it is necessary to protect it?
A free man may prefer what he can do, to what he cannot do.
However, modern man thinks that necessity has made these dilemmas unalterable and this is why he is less happy. Because he did not learn to prefer what he can do to what he cannot do!
I do not believe in the word happiness or misery, but if these words were to be true, happy people would probably make more prefers such that necessity would have no meaning in their lives.
Sometimes time is deceptive and we think that because of the lower risk in the near future we would prefer to protect the Earth from an impact by an asteroid, but in fact we consider it necessary or at least we have to induce it! Humans have been so preoccupied with necessities throughout evolution that we sometimes even have to make what we do necessary for them instead of presenting it as our preference. They are more concerned with necessities than preferences, and this is not their fault.
Imagine a generation who really prefer what they can do to what they cannot! Sometimes this is not even imaginable to me! Imagine open-minded and happy generations who prefer to have their heart beat rather than an unalterable necessity. Imagine a free generation of who prefer to protect the Earth from the impact of an asteroid the rather than considering it as an unalterable necessity.
They prefer more than us to the point that necessity no longer makes sense. In order to have free, happy, and open-minded generations, so that preference takes the place of necessity, we need to teach them to prefer more. To this end, they must first eliminate their fear of the future: the fear is tied to our age’s necessities! This is a great start.
How much do you think that “preferring” to protect the Earth is a sign of freedom for humanity?

Admire yourself!
“The Crab Nebula sonification”
How do you admire yourself? How do you admire others?
Has there ever been a time when there was no noise in encouraging others? There is always a certain noise in admiration: even in the admiration we give ourselves. Do you ever remember when there was no sound and noise when you did a wonderful job admiring it?!
Now, if sound is an integral part of admiration and praise in us humans, it is less unlikely that you not look crazy to others when you are used to praising yourself or your abilities. All us may have heard this popular quotation: “They who dance are thought mad by those who hear not the music.”
Now, imagine such crazy people who want to relate the universe to themselves by saying that we are the universe and the universe is us. They will try to relate the universe to themselves, of which sound and noise will be an integral part. Perhaps the best part, because they are always admiring their abilities and work. To them, sound and noise will be an integral part of things that want to glorify their beauty, and mysteries, even if they do not have the right environment to convey it.
For some people, these sounds are merely for the emotional display of the glory and beauty of these phenomena, and for others, nothing glorious can be devoid of a certain noise if they are to be related with us and admire themselves like us. Views are always different!
How can something be related to us and not use some kind of noise to praise itself?!
Have you ever tried to admire yourself without any noise?! The thought of such an endeavor may lead you to not seem insane to others which is insane in itself!
Even when I want to act logically, the noise of music affects my thoughts. Because it is less likely that the mind can praise itself without a certain noise. Listening to music reminds us of those sounds that our mind uses for its own praise, and it has always been impossible for me to ignore them.
Can you imagine a God who has no voice? Such a noiseless God never praise himself; what a helpless and weak God who has nothing in itself to admire!
When was the last time you heared or used a certain noise like crazy people?!

Mistakes and uncertainties are not due to our lack of sufficient knowledge and experience. In many cases, despite having enough knowledge and experience, we still make mistakes or there are uncertainties in us. It may be argued that this was due to inaccuracies or lack of thoroughness. But accuracy is formed by a thorough review of all the related sciences and past experiences, experiences that are formed by mistakes and the transformation of uncertainties into uncertainties in the past. In fact, accuracy itself is expanding due to new mistakes and experiences and is not a fixed thing. The cause of mistakes, errors, and uncertainties are due to the lack of saturation of curiosity in us; in other words, the cause of errors, even in works in which we have sufficient expertise and experience, not due to inaccuracy and numerous studies, but due to lack of saturation of curiosity in us. Let's start with an example. Can you imagine infinite sweetness, infinite sour, infinite whiteness, or infinite curiosity? This is probably impossible for us as modern evolved humans. One reason for this is saturation in physics and chemistry. Our minds are naturally accustomed to saturation, and this limit does not allow us to have imagination outside the box. If we can experience the sweetness of over-saturated substances (infinite sweetness), our bodies would most likely react unexpectedly. I even think that if someone really claims strong imagination, when she wants to imagine infinite sweetness, she should get diseases like diabetes!! Certainly, our body today must react unexpectedly to such an imagination, otherwise we would not have imagined it. The only thing we can do right now is to visualize the effect of such imaginations on other things (like imagining getting sick after such an imagination), but we are not yet able to imagine those imaginations in an absolute manner, which is a sign of our imperfect evolution as human beings. We have not developed enough for such out of this world imaginations yet. This is the reason that it is difficult and astonishing for us to understand the existence of phenomena like Black holes. Our body has not perceived a gravity other than the gravity of the Earth; however, if man were able to perceive and evolve both in Earth and in another Earth that has a gravity 40000 times that of our Earth, it would be likely that saturation about gravity would be removed from his mind over time and he could think outside the box to imagine the gravity of phenomena such as Black holes today. At present, we can only imagine those things from Black holes that has nothing to do with our body's evolved nervous system. This is why it sometimes takes years of hard work to discover the mysteries of the universe that sometimes our imperfect evolution does not let our imagination to go beyond it either. But this is not the case for space and time. When I ask you to visualize infinite space, we will not face such a problem. There can be two reasons for this. First, we did not experience saturation for space during our evolution, and also thanks to great minds that were able to visualize infinite sweetness and whiteness, they introduced us to phenomena like Black hole that prevents us from forming a saturation limit in space. The second reason is that many ideas are not capable of infinity, like sweetness and curiosity, as a unique subject but this is not the case for space. Because we are talking about space infinite not infinity of space. The former can be made by our mind through repetition of ideas but the latter is an absolute matter. The space infinite is only one subject and is not repeatable by our mind. Because there will not be another space to project (space infinite +space infinite) into that space, even union (+) is not defined there. Attributes such as curiosity, sweetness and whiteness do not have such infinity feature described above for space; thus, they cannot be part of space and time, and they only made by our minds through repetition and union. The curiosity we have today is not the same as the curiosity we had a decade ago, although we call it the same curiosity. However, this is not the case for space and time, even if they are expanding and not fixed. Space and time are real because they have infinite property (infinite here is not a real infinity) that are not made by our mind. They contain an infinity that our mind has not made through repetition and union of ideas, and if our mind wants to create infinity of space infinite by repetition or union, it will not be able to do so, which shows that space and time are real. In other words, attributes such as curiosity, sweetness, and whiteness contain infinity properties that are made by our mind and they need us to have infinite properties, so they are not as independent as space and time to be real. Overall, space and time automatically have infinite properties, but attributes such as curiosity to have infinity need our imagination because they are not real like space and time. Although the physiology of our body, along with physics and chemistry, provides saturation limits for attributes such as sweetness and whiteness, fortunately we have not yet formed such saturation limit for some attributes like curiosity in our minds, and so we can imagine the infinite property for this property in our minds as we discussed before. As long as we enthusiastic about thinking outside the box, we do not have a saturation limit for curiosity, mistakes will not have a saturation limit too and uncertainty will go along with it. There is no uncertainty for absolute space and time, but there will always be uncertainty and error for all the artifacts of our minds, like curiosity, that can go to infinity. Only in a fixed or shrinking world one can claim that no mistake ever happens and there is absolute certainty, because our minds could form saturation limits for space in a such fixed world. But in a world that is expanding, the occurrence of error and uncertainty is undeniable and will continue to exist with any amount of knowledge and experience. As long as curiosity is not saturated, mistakes will inevitably occur. If we have never done any mistake and have been certain about anything, we definitely live in a world with limits, and the absence of error or lack of uncertainty is a proof of the existence of limits and saturation for the world in which we live. In fact, wherever there is mistake or uncertainty about an issue, it means that issue is followed by an attribute like curiosity that can be expanded to infinite through imagination. It can be said that we make mistakes, therefore we exist, but a God who never makes mistakes can definitely not exist. And if there is a God who makes mistakes, then he is a part of us and cannot be God. In general, trying not to make mistakes and achieving absolute certainty would be futile for a creature who can define attributes such as curiosity in space and time and expand it by its imagination power. It is better for us to talk more about our mistakes and our fears of uncertainties along with our successes in order to reach higher. Even if this writing is free from error and all these arguments are absolutely correct and valid, one should doubt that this argument is correct and valid. Image source:

Probably the owner of this skull could not forget the pain and the memory of an accident for the rest of her life. Surely what I could not forget years after seeing this historical skull was the delicacy, passion and effort to reconstruct and improve the consequences of the accident, and not the accident and the pain that the body probably could not forget. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTs2hMnoxpK/?utm_medium=tumblr
Perseverance has collected its first scientifically-selected sample.
----------------------------------------
A mother calls her child that she recently gives birth to as her "first" child because she hopes for two things;
The first latent hope is that she can give birth to another one, the second is that the child can also be a creator like the mother in the future.
Without such hopes, the child will be the last child of the mother, or better to say that her "first" and "last" child at the same time. Without such hopes, she can "certainly" not call the child her "first" child.
Hope is the latent reason for certainty, ordering, indexing, and knowledge of states. It allows us to have some inferences and interpretations about our observations such that those inferences play as imaginary observations.
When we claim to have collected the "first" sample from the Mars, there are probably two hopes behind this claim;
First, we hope that the "second" sample will be collected in the future, or we hope that this is the only existing sample that will return to Earth and after comparing to our previous knowledge an ordinal number like "first" can be applied to it.
We humans had difficult times to survive, and, consequently, hope was necessary to human beings to overcome such difficulties over time. It has become an integral part of our temperament and identity, and has increased our desire for certainty than uncertainty.
Hope is the reason that we humans mostly tend to certainty than duality and uncertainty. It leads to "certainty", so sometimes it can be the most deceptive thing in the world, specially for single and first observations and collections.
Although human beings strive to replace sustainability in technology with hope, this does not affect the generality of our discussion. Sustainability in technology only guarantees certainty of an event in the future while we discuss the moment that sample collected. It is obvious that everything is certain in the future!
Overall, we may not be allowed to call it first or even zeroth sample yet.
Sometime we may send a hopeless but happy mother to Mars.

We All Are Idiots!
"I see a canoid patch of colour"
Such images evoke the "primary language" in me which belongs to a lower level of language hierarchy.
like Images, the existence of a hierarchy in language is essential because we have to live in a society made up of people with different backgrounds and desires, idiots are also included!
High-level language is necessary to deal with the idiots of society, and also we have to construct " the language" instead of "a language". never, the higher the level of language in "the language" hierarchy, the farther we are from having a unique interpretation about the facts.
The primary language confined to matters belonging to the biography of the interpreter without engaging any element of inference in order to become "all" observers rather than "some" observers. So primary language a lower level of language hierarchy is more appropriate to describe such images, though we may seem idiot this time!
"I see a canoid patch of colour"
The question is that whether that insect was in the middle of the flower flag and got me to capture it, or whether my ideal photo was to wait for the insect to reach the center of the flower flag and take that moment.
These questions and choosing one of them would lead me to write different captions for this post.
But the question is what kind of photo of this scene could fit the caption with the content written above.
It is possible to capture such a creative image, but the problem arises when I say:
In fact, I did not notice the insect in the middle of the flower flag, nor did I wait for the insect to reach to the middle of the flower flag; There was another bigger insect on the flower that I wanted to capture it, which flew at the moment the photo was taken. However, I noticed this beautiful photo later and decided to post it with a caption that has the content written above.
Now the question is what kind of photo of this scene could have been taken to evoke a a caption that has the content written so far in the mind of the audience without making me to post such an image with a caption that has the content written so far!
This is what art does to motivate our imagination to find the right, original, and undirected questions.
A Flawed Ingenuity!
If you want to use ingenuity to refer indiscriminately to all human mental activity, as Descartes, in order to inspire a whole generation, your achievements or characteristic should not be flawless! Otherwise, you will not be able to inspire next generations and lead them to next level.
"Hence memory is the same as imagination […], and imagination is likewise taken for ingenuity or invention,”.
Human ingenuity is "sharp," "acute," or "penetrating", which is able to understand relations.
If we want to act non-discriminative in order to inspire next generations, we must accept that we are the product of an evolution and we are still very young in the process! Hence, our imagination must be yet smooth rather than sharp. Therefore, how we can refer genius to an achievement or someone of our own kind if that thing can be free of flaws and error over time!
I may like to refer geniuses to those great minds who either imperfectly answered the big questions or asked big questions that the questions themselves had a flaw with. Because, those errors and flaws inspire next generations to improve on their great achievements, and consequently, lead to next level of evolution.
However, a big question arises that what is the role of perseverance here?
Finally, how I could be honest with what I wrote in this post if my memory helped me to remember which great minds used those terms, shown inside “ ”, in order to refer to them on this post!
I have never been able to come up with a precise and unique definition of the word “ideal”, like ideal conditions. For example, what conditions might be ideal for a full moon day? A clear sky and living in a small and remote town with less light noise might be considered as an ideal condition for observing a big and bright full moon. However, it has always been a question for me whether the facts we want to observe defines the ideal condition or the ideal conditions determine the facts. I never found an answer to this dilemma, but I made a solution to solve such dilemma for myself. Most of the time I realized that before answering a question, the definition of all phrases inside the question had to be defined precisely from the questioner’s point of view. The problem is that I always had trouble defining the facts and phrases.
The problem in my mind arise from this question that what if the truth is not unique? In this case, the definition of ideal condition should not be unique. So if the ideal situation is not unique, it means that the facts is not unique and a different fact can be achieved in different ideal conditions for an identical event. For example, if the observing of a big and bright moon on a full moon night is an ideal condition, so forecasting a cloudy night can ruin your whole day. That day should be regretted for losing a unique fact due to the lack of unique ideal condition.
I had already learned to regret and be depressed in those days until I tried to change the meaning of the facts for myself and define it from scratch for myself. Practicing this strategy helped me realize over time that the facts are never the same and unique to a subject. And this might be what causes to have diversity in human species and their thoughts about different events, which makes the earth a very beautiful place, but makes life complex and sometimes difficult. Maybe it is better learn to find more beauty in the complexities to enjoy life!
I remember the day I saw for the first time in my life that the moon was moving by the clouds for a few seconds, but in order not to look stupid I had to convince myself that those few seconds were nothing more than imaginary and that it was the clouds were moving. But the moon was moving! It was as if there were ideal conditions that allowed the moon to move in my view for just a few seconds.
Stubbornness to look stupid allowed me to ask: does the movement of other objects determine where I am, or does my position determine the type and direction of movement of other objects? Anyway, I always had a full moon without a pre-determined schedule, and if I was lucky and the weather was cloudy and there was good light noise, I would see at first glance that the moon was moving behind the cloud. But it did not take long for my eyes to get used to the darkness of the night and pinpoint the faint stars and realize that I was on Earth and it was the clouds passing in front of the moon.
I later found out that light noise is not a bad thing either. Light noise helped me not be able to pinpoint faint stars next to the full moon, which in turn helped me not to limit the observable space of the moon to a certain boundary. From then on, I realized that any condition can be ideal for a different fact if I do not consider it to be a mere and unique fact. This kind of thinking made me realize that any situation can be ideal for understanding different aspects of a fact, even if that condition is not an ideal condition for others as they already intended to understand the same fact in a different ideal condition. This makes us more open-minded in accepting the realities of life than in resisting.
The problem is that the facts from different perspectives are not in line with society's beliefs, can lead to isolation, but instead you learn that every problem has a solution, although different, difficult, not conventional, and, consequently, time consuming.
It is yet a big question for me whether the facts we want to observe defines the ideal conditions or the ideal conditions determine the facts. Maybe one day I will come to the conclusion that both were an identical question; or maybe I didn’t ask the right question.
Anyway, the moon was moving before the stars appeared!
I would like to think that the question of “what we see” has become an old challenge, and consequently, new generation is going to struggle with new generations of observations for decades, which will add another dimension to our observations—“how we see”. Although the new challenge would seem interesting at first glance, we need to understand “who/where we are” alongside the “how we see”. Hence, the question that will most likely affect the next generation is that “How we see, who/where we are.”
On the other hand, it may seem that the addition of the second part (who/where we are) to the main problem “how we see” bring more complexity to the main problem, or it may be seen as a parallel problem instead of an integral part of the main problem. It can be very promising if we can convince researchers that the lack of that important part (who/where we are) may be the main reason for the complexity of our observations to date. They may find out later that "who we are and where we are" should be accompanied by the question of "how we see". Most of our generation should be involved in these two issues to lead bringing out the next stage of complexity in our thoughts.
That next stage of complexity will be when we see ourselves have returned to the first place (“what we see”), which will end to a loop (what we see, how we see, who/where we are). The emergence of this loop in our observations will be inevitable—otherwise we can’t reach to a new height—such that we will find ourselves subconsciously trapped inside the loop. However, it will bring a new form of complexity to us.
When the loop is complete it will mostly look like a labyrinthine, cause the problem to become more arrogant, creating much more complex loops from within the loop. I always like to see a time when everyone is immersed in a part of those huge nested loops, and humanity experiences an original form of the complexity of thinking, imagination and observations.
This is where humans and artificial intelligence will more add to the complexity of the observations. It will be exactly where we wish some brilliant researchers pull us out of the maze.
I would like to see my knowledge and experience shattered in a whirlwind of complexity of those new thoughts. There will be no greater pleasure than to realize the simplicity of my own thoughts in opposition to those perplex thoughts. How pleasant it will be when I was unable to comprehend those labyrinthine thoughts. I would like to directly experience that such complexity baffling me to death.
This will be a real surprise for everyone.
Finding the laws and wonders of nature and the universe has not been and is not interesting for most of the people. Regulating the issues that we face in daily life has not been surprising, too. On the other hand, the irregularity of those issues is not interesting either!
So what surprises us?
People are often surprised by nonsense issues (nonsense in my view) and encourage them instead of being surprised by scientific facts. Surprisingly, these people have understood the facts better than scientists and scholars!
They have understood that our nature as human beings has always tended to be surprised; therefore, any law, whether scientific, experimental or intuitive, that doesn't cause surprise might be doubted, because it may not in analogous with our nature. Humanity eager to be surprised. I do not know if this trait is good or bad, but I know it is a fact for a realist. Although we prefer that everything be predictable, there is no doubt that unforeseen events have surprised us the most and challenged our knowledge and experience to the extent that the advancement of science owes to them today. Hence, it seems that scientists prefer to be surprised rather than taking refuge to predictable issues.
The problem is that we always pay attention to the cause for surprise rather than the surprise itself. This illusions arise from this fact that any group is eager to surprise people by its own favorite topic. In fact, what is surprising is the surprise itself not the cause of surprise. The surprise itself is a mere concept.
A less related example may increase the transparency of my discussion! We are all familiar with something called the "aha moment". The moment you reach the solution, the answer, or the desired results. Most of us think that that moment is amazing because we came up with a unique solution, answer, or result that can be expressed as a rule. However, it is amazing because the solution or result was beyond the researcher's previous imagination/thoughts, and not because the researcher discovered a hidden law. If the researcher knows what he is looking for and only more accuracy than previous efforts will lead him to the desired solutions or results, then what curiosity means at all! In this case, he would rather be a science businessman or science entertainer than a scientist. Only that accuracy and perfection will be more significant if it leads to a surprise.
If someone told you "I/we know that...", do not believe it, even if what he/she said was the result of a lifetime experience. If everything is supposed to be certain from someone’s point of view, we humans would have realized the mechanism of the universe a long time ago, but we couldn't! Then it seems that we face with twofold problem; no one knows, or everyone knows.
If someone says "I know this ...", then everyone knows it. But if even one person did not accept it, then the first speaker did not know, too. When we are trying to express our ideas it is safe to emphasize that we claim knowing something based our personal experience at a particular period of time. But we always generalize our spatial and temporal experiences due to our language limitations, and this will definitely be fun for future intelligent generations.
Nevertheless, the only principle that can be relied upon is that whoever told "I/we know this ...", "I/we believe in ...", etc., should not be expected to surprise us and consequently have a profound effect on our life.
I always like to be surprised, whether by a single person or a creative group, such that my whole life and experiences be questioned. That allows me to rethought and reinvent.
I never like to be a scientist, not an intellectual, not a science businessman, not a science entertainer. I always want to be surprised such that all or part of my experience and knowledge be completely challenged.
By this move, the cat wants to teach us to consider energy consumption as both relative and scaled. 😁🤫😴
If one asks about the characteristics of the observer of these images in order to be able to compare them with the images that can be taken with the same observers and arrive at a unique interpretation of the components of these images, he is an scientist/expert.
If someone, by looking at these pictures, provides answers or views that make me start thinking and asking questions about those answers and views, he is a philosopher.
If anyone both asks questions about the characteristics of the observer and offers answers and views that I am just beginning to think about and ask questions about, she is Newton or Einstein.
If anyone is insists on seeking the creator of those stuff inside the pictures, he is a religious person.
Meanwhile, If I take a stand against the questions are asked or the answers are given, I am a fanatic.
Nevertheless, I did not take this photos, it was taken by those who were next to me. I was fascinated by watching this scene and that moment is called life.
✨Life is more beautiful than all those discussed above.✨

Let's guess which images others are going to take to the final stage.
Although there are definitely many parameters, such games have always been enjoyable for me. So let's have a try.
In the image below, those images that are connected in a straight line are my choices for the final stage.
However, people are not going to have them as their choice.
I have considered some imaginary behavioral filters and are going to anticipate that whcih images will be chosen based on those filters.
F1: Entertainment filter. For example, The image of a racetrack from astronauts' perspective is likely to be more appealing to people.
F2: Chaos and excitement filter. One of the strangest traits of most people is that they escape chaos in their lives but enjoy seeing a chaotic phenomenon when they and their fellows are in a comfort zone!
F3: Tendency to artificiality. People like artificial things more than facts.
F4: Tendency to colorful life without engaging to details.
F5: Hope for strange events.
F6: Passion for power even it was destructive!
F7: Eagerness for bold things.
F8: They believe that life is more beautiful than what they encountered in their daily life!
F9: Quality filter. It depends on the screen they vote on. If we considered most of them will vote on Mobile screen then they may act like what I chosed above.
F10: Passion for mysterious and unkown things because they think that some unkowns have not yet revealed in them.
It was snowing and our yard seemed to belong to another planet today. It was the first time that my cat was seeing the snow. Curious, frightened, she went down the stairs and stood at the bottom of the stairs and stared at the snow for some time. She started curling around the snow for a full circle, then stopped again and stared at the snow in fear. Then she scratched a piece of snow with her paw and pulled it over to smell it. Maybe she was seeking for some familiar smell, which was obvious from his appearance that it was not so! She stood there for a few minutes. When she understand that there was nothing left for her to be more curious about this bizarre surface, she stepped into the snow and reached the other dry side. She sat there and watched my father shoveling the snow. When she got enough of it, came home right from the middle of the snow and started licking himself as usual!
I was wondering why something that is normal for us--walking in the snow--should be so impressive to me that I want to write something about it.
In fact, the reason for the cat's action was her thoughtful and deliberately planned action rather than a simple curiosity. If the cat rudely entered the snow, her action would be funny to me than effective and inspiring.
It seems that any courageous action that is done precisely and thoughtfully, however time consuming and tedious, will definitely be effective and inspiring for others.
My father shoveled all the snow and there are no cat footprints left for me to take and share a photo for you, but here is the real story of our cat!
(1) “We think AU Mic b formed far from the star and migrated inward to its current orbit, something that can happen as planets interact gravitationally with a gas disk or with other planets,”
(2) “By contrast, Beta Pictoris b’s orbit doesn’t appear to have migrated much at all. The differences between these similarly aged systems can tell us a lot about how planets form and migrate.”
We may have a thought/problem as a star in our mind along with some ambiguous answers orbit around that thought/problem. But we often may not see progress in approaching those ambiguous answers to the core problem like Beta Pictoris system (2).
We may start thinking that the problem is at the core of our primitive thought/problem, and maybe that core is not very powerful. But I think the problem is the fear of creating chaos in our minds as AU Mic system (1) do. It is the planets and gas disk that bring AU Mic b closer to the star.
Maybe we better to act like AU Mic system when we think. We should not afraid of chaos around our primitive answers in order to tug them they come closer to the star!
Don't afraid of chaos and miss.

It is easy when the argument is that you are single or in a relationship because it is a binary state (single or in a relationship). You do not even need to be judged by others because you will choose one of these two options. This was true for gender in the past, but it is no longer true today.
We should welcome the increase in gender diversity and behavioral diversity among human beings because this is directly related to the increase in the scale of our minds, and we desperately need this complexity of states in our daily life so that we can more easily understand modern physics.
The problem will arise when states are no longer binary and move toward diversity and continuity. For example, in assessing that you are a happy man, it can no longer be said that yes, you are an “absolutely” happy man. Of course this is due to the pioneers of psychology for the development of describing different states in human behavior. It is better for our philosophers to learn a little from them.
In this case, you will have to measure your state relative to the resultant of community behavior. However, this relative state will not express your “absolute” state. In fact, by doing so, your existence in that group is defined, and consequently your relative behavior towards the known existence in that group is measured. So how can you know your absolute state?
You have to bear in mind that with the above practice, behavioral inference, you can only measure your appearance with the appearance of other people in a moment, or alternatively you can measure your behavior with the behavior of other people in a certain time frame. But you will not be able to do both at the same time because you are an observer with limited abilities. For example you do not have eyes behind to monitor both the people in front of you and the back.
But is there any other way to "absolutely" measure your physical and behavioral state?
Yes, your mother. She is probably the only person who has been aware of our state and location from the moment of birth until now. It is enough to ask her about your current state.
But what if we are the children of a bastard? What if our mother were a hooker and gave birth to us and then left us in a place and time that is unknown to us but known to her?
In this case, we need a zealous boy whose mind is full of questions and who packs his bag and goes on a miracle journey to find his mother. And you are that zealous boy who are packing to go and find the answers to the questions of other zealous girls and boys on earth who are waiting for answers.
You better understand what I was talking when I was discussing on the resultant of community behavior above. Like the resultant used for the unification between the special relativity and quantum physics. Yes, that's right. You are going to do everything!
What do you think of our mother? Is she still a hooker and hooking other males in the bar? Does her lustful hunger for young male still persist? How many of children, like us, has she left behind in the universe so far?
Maybe our mother is a noble lady, but we were the result of an unwanted pregnancy.
Nevertheless, if our mother is supposed to be a whore, then bring religious people with you to blame our mother. When they start blaming our mother, we will defend our mother with our knowledge, logic and wisdom, and we will be heroes for our mother.
Whatever our mother is, we will accept her realistically and hug her tightly.
Maybe she wants to introduce you to a hot girl; so when you go up there, don't forget to take a bouquet with you!
Oh sorry, I talk a lot. Before going for another milestone, coffee or tea? 😌☕
