Jack the Ripper.

There is a saying: “Just like Jack the ripper, let's go by parts”. My mind works a lot this way. This is what have always helped me solve all kind of logical problems (programming, mechanics, electric, etc).

Tonight I was thinking about “the human drama”. It seemed to me that everybody has one, or fall insto one by the presure of society. That thought evolved to thinking about “the reality”, and how it represents everything we see, smell, feel or think.

But that is not everything, because everybody has a different reality, depending of his “experiences” in life. All right, this is getting deep (complicated) for me.

Now, “experiences” are also biased by body biological functions. Not two humans produce identical hormones, with identical receptors on the cells with identical temperature sensors, or eyesight or hearing, etc...

So, in a very unscientific resolution, we have;
Perception errors or differences at the biological level.
Different experiences thru life, based on personal perception.
Different realities based on the personal experiences.

I find it amazing that we humans get to ever understand each other at any time. We are all living in such different worlds. And still trying to think as if everyone is the same.

Rapid subject change; mosquitoes are trying to feed themselves on my blood, I have taken down six (6) already.

Another subject change; today's blog entry is written on a HP Pavilion dv1000 Notebook. Apparently self given presents came early (my birthday is not due until next month).

What a nifty toy.

"Selfgiven presents" are the best, they never disappoint. Around 1750 Rousseau was making notes for a book on the subject of your blog, but he gave it up. Too bad, it is a lesson much needed.--Giac
