This is for all the smart, open minded people on my profile. Basic human nature is to search for patterns. Patterns help us understand cause and effect. This fundamentally separates us from every other animal on Earth. If we follow a pattern, we are looking for an origin and a conclusion. If a point of origin and a point of conclusion are found, they are deemed to be certain or true. Certainties can be manipulated as truth to answer any question. Even if the entire pattern is interpreted wrong, because humans are wired to find patterns, patterns can be accepted as truth. This is possible because we see an origin and a conclusion to the pattern. As amazing as that is, this is also a flaw. When someone deems something unknown, or unanswerable, that makes no sense. Our entire existence is based on patterns... if something is unknown that means there is no pattern, therefore there is no certainty or truth to adhere too. Unknown patterns are called concepts, theories or ideas. Unknown concepts are scrutinized extensively, negatively and are sometimes even dismissed altogether because there is no certainty to the pattern - there is no truth. Human logic says that there can be no such thing as randomness. We dont like unknowns, and because of that, we miss out on one simple truth... one simple certainty that applies to us all... and that truth is everything cant be certain.
