MORE IS LESS Anonymous

It’s possible that we as humans, but more importantly people as a whole, understand less than we think. It’s plausible that we know more than we actually know.

I say this with the idea that the concept of other living and active people is incomprehensible to each and every one of us. I don’t think any abundance of self-awareness or time spent with another would allow you to properly see or feel the fact that there is a separate and just as functional life happening right next to you, an exact imitation of your own quiddity. The woman who is spending precious time with me, right now, is her own entity. She said “bless you” to me just a minute ago. She struggles to stay awake after a bad night’s rest and wonders if people mean harm or no harm and looks at her peers, taking in their individual facial features, just like me; and yet I am sitting right across from her, occupying the exact same amount of general volume and brain activity (maybe less).

I’m sure that the fact as a whole exceeds our brain’s limitations, just like the true size of space or like the people living in the Fermi Paradox (maybe us). So, do we continue like this? Or do we stick with the pursuit of broadening our knowledge on the neural transmission beside us and the personal interpretations seen more detailed or less intensely across from us?
