A tree must have its good roots. A house must have its foundation. A seed is blown by the wind. A tent can quickly be moved. Revolution is slow or impossible depending on how deep rooted its foundations are. If a synthetic fuel was invented just now [that costs less then half to produce compared to oil], how long would it take for they system to switch from one fuel to the other? But what if the synthetic fuel was only 5% easier to produce? How much would it cost to switch from one foundation to the other? The same is true with the mind, the opinions, the values, the morals and the theories.
My words here apply to all human effort, thought and feeling. Religion, culture, government, everything that has been developed gets deeper roots. These also gets more advanced with use.
How possible is it for a human mind to be less rooted and more versatile/revolutionary? I believe that a mind being able to be more versatile/revolutionary has to do with creativity. Creativity is the recombination of all previously comprehended data which forms something “new” and “unique” that is still relative to our passed knowledge.
I doubt that humans truly “create” new elements of data, but I do believe that “creativity” is a structure made of the originally perceived data. I would actually call “planning” and “memory” a form of reality synthesis [, the (true) “knowledge”] within a brain. This shows that something physically existent can be reformatted into data, stored in an energy or matter medium, can be altered or rebuild whilst still in data format, then [later at any time] be recreated and become physically existent. DNA is also a perfect example of data creating and then being stored within a life form that is really existent.
I tried to make my words short and to the point.
Please reply, thanks. =)
