How the position of the observation obfuscates people?
Usual can be extraordinary
Thinking is the thing, what we should practice very hard, and in fact, we should confess that we don't know everything. What we think as the regular and common thing might be very extraordinary. And while we are practicing thinking we must try to find another side of the things. There is always something good in everything in the world, and there are many ways to see things. Let me explain a little bit about this thing. Normal people think that fishes are swimming in the water, but why don't we try to think something extraordinary, and try to think that fish is in some certain place and it would move water around it. That would mean that the fish is a stable object, what is laying in the water, what flows around it.
This situation is true in some places, like fast flowing rivers, where the fishes are at a certain place, and water goes around it. This case would be seen very often in nature, but there is one thing, what we don't actually think, and that is that only the little part of the water on the Earth is in the rapids. That means this is a very unusual situation if we would compare it with the conditions, where most of the water is on the Earth. The probability of this phenomenon can be calculated as an example by division the area of the rivers by area, what is covered by water.
We could take some other quantities of this calculation, and one is the number of water molecules, what is found in the flowing water systems and division them with the number of all water molecules on Earth. And then we can start to ask, should we take clouds in the number of water molecules. And is rain flowing or stable water, which is a very important question, if we would want to write a little bit longer text. But as you see, there are many people, who don't want to do that, so let the thing be. There are many things, which are fascinating and impress people, but what is away from everyday life.
The position of the observation can obfuscate people
Let's take another example. If we would go to walk in the evening of May Day, we would think that every people, who would walk in the city are some kind of students. That is visible especially in the Helsinki, and near the statue of Havis Amanda. Every year tradition is that the students would put the graduation cap on the head of that statue. In that situation, we are surrounded by the students, and we might think that every person in the Helsinki Metropolis area is a student, who studies in the university or some other higher education institutes.
But the Havis Amanda statue is only one position in the city. We might go somewhere else, and then we might understand that something obfuscates us. This thing is called the obfuscation of the probability. If we would go to some city, and wind up in the University campus, we might meet many doctors and professors but are those people actually the typical samples of the normal people, who are living in the city? This thing would interest the politicians, who would make decisions about taxes and other things, and the most important thing in the work of politicians is to please the biggest group of people because that this guarantees the votes.
And the pleasing of the majority would cause a collapse in next elections if the promises that were given during the campaign have been broken. The high position allows making many decisions, but that position would also make possible to make many mistakes. This is the problem in the position of the directors. If the person would make decisions, what causes problems there could be nobody, who will give advice, and that would cause collapse. And in those cases, the mistake is made by that certain director, who would kick off or if that person owns the company would that kind of the wrong decision cause the bankruptcy. So if the person would have too much power, there is a risk to make wrong decisions, what will cause the destruction of the company. This is the writing for the morning.
