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. 😁🤫😴
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.
"One is always wrong, but with two truth begins. One cannot prove the case, but two is irrefutable." _ Friedrich Nietzsche

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.
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? 😌☕

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!
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will be launched this September.

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?

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!
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
