Perception Post

1. I do believe that doubt is the key to knowledge because only when you question something you will truly learn about it in depth. It is virtually impossible to know about everything, but by doubting something, you will investigate different points of view on it, and broaden your horizons. When you doubt something, that means you are open to new ideas, giving your knowledge a chance to grow, instead of sticking to a single point of view on something.

2. At the beginning of human existence, people said that natural events such as rain, earthquakes etc. were the cause of Gods. However, certain individuals in society started doubting and started searching for explanations to the natural events that ocurred on Earth. Due to the fact that those individuals doubted, they finally reached an explanation to those events. Precipitation was the cause of evaporation and condensation of water. And earthquakes were due to the shifting of the tectonic plates on earth´s crust.

3. In school it is good to question what you are being taught. There is an excellent example from the movie-documentary ´´An Inconvenient truth´´. One day the geography teacher was teaching the students something on geography. A student after looking at the map for a while, asked the teacher if Africa and South America ever fit together. The teacher told him he was speaking nonsense. However, now, many years later, it is true that sometime in the past, these two continents fit together. It was actually proved due to the shifting of the tectonic plates. So, what is true today might be proved wrong tomorrow.

4.I love phsycology, so I always ask myself what makes psycopaths the way they are. General belief states that it is based on environmental factors. And I believed this for many years, but i decided to do some investigation. I found out that their violent behavior is also due to some chemical imbalance in their brain, and also that their frontal lobe is not as developed. The fact that their frontal lobe is not as developed means that they are not aware of the consequences of their actions. I therefore dont believe solely in the environmental aspect of psycopaths, I know that their actions are also due to their biological composition.
