When we com­pare ourselves.

I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

This is the fourth in a series of posts reflec­ting on our willin­gness to remem­ber and the qua­li­ty of that know­ledge. These posts should be read in order of publi­ca­tion. Star­ting with num­ber six, for example, would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

I live in Cana­da, more pre­ci­se­ly, in Que­bec. If I com­pare myself to Aus­tra­lia, the cli­mate here is much col­der, both in dura­tion and tem­pe­ra­ture. The type of wood will the­re­fore be dif­ferent. This simple but impor­tant dif­fe­rence brings a cru­cial ele­ment in the appli­ca­tion of know­ledge. You could name a mul­ti­tude of cases where know­ledge, from our point of view on a human scale, is not applied in the same way.

Science aims to manage this situa­tion. It seeks to find the lowest com­mon deno­mi­na­tor of appli­ca­bi­li­ty of a concept that will later be named as “gene­ric”. It cir­cum­vents this situa­tion by adding para­me­ters to for­mu­las so that a for­mu­la can be appli­cable in all situa­tions. I dare not ven­ture into unk­nown ter­ri­to­ry, but if any of you would like to leave examples in the com­ments, please feel free to do so. Per­haps we could name examples of speed, gra­vi­ty, hard­ness, tem­pe­ra­ture, pres­sure, etc., which could be used in the formula.

The fact remains that concepts of sur­vi­val, without access to tech­no­lo­gy, can be dif­fi­cult to apply depen­ding on the context. In the next few posts, we will explore dif­ferent sce­na­rios and attempt to brie­fly ana­lyze them.

To be continued…
