"What happens if you make a hill of water?"
"The pressure will change the water below the pile will start to heat..."
"No."
"The water will push down on the surrounding water and make waves"
"No."
"The water will begin to evapo..."
"No"
I answer, "It will level out."
"Thank god, someone has common sense, have any of you tried to build a hill out of water? Let me know how it goes if you do."
We as a human race, tend to over complicate things. We cannot handle simplicity we require all things to be complicated and logically appealing, but sometimes its not that deep. Everything, well, most things seem to follow a general pattern of least resistance. Nature and the physical natural world tend to work out in the simplest way possible, things tend to level out. Evolution is based off parsimony, parsimony is basically getting from point A to point B in the fewest possible steps. Fewest steps, least resistant, simplicity, natural. Humans however cannot seem to grasp this concept of chance, they refuse to believe that everything they know, everything they are, everything that will ever be is just a result of chance of events happening in a way that provide the least resistance. They need to explain everything, and often tend to overlook the simple explanations, in search for something as complex as themselves. Humans are arguably the most complex organism on the planet, they have this disgustingly mutated cerebrum that allows for these complex and intricate thoughts, this is their greatest advantage and their greatest downfall. It is with this mutation that we have developed culture, music, art, history, emotions, and scientific breakthroughs. But it is also this mutation that has brought us to war, discrimination, pollution, depletion of resources, and sorrow. We cannot accept people as equals because there must be some sort of complex disorder making "those like me superior to those like you," we cant be different because of random genetic drift. We can not understand that CO2 is harmful and should be no longer admitted the resources are there, there for us to use because god gave them to us. We chop continents and develop currency, we set standards and develop exclusivity. We become to complex to explain our own actions, we decided something more complex must have given us this will to do as we please because the other organisms do not have it. Everything needs and explanation, that cause only more confusion. We refuse to understand that deep down at the very root of it, everything happens, but not for a reason. This became way to rambling, my train of thought took off and I could not keep up.
