SchrödingerThis is from Schrödinger, famous quantum mechanics physicist: according to him this is a paradox, namely: a cat in a box with poison gas that will be released when radiation is present which will be present eventually, but we don't know when; so when the gas is released, the cat in the box will be both dead and alive at the same time, but we don't know it, not until we open the box, then it is dead or alive, and our opening the box is the 'cause' of its dead or living status. I say the whole story is fallacious, because the cat is dead or alive in objective reality, and our knowing its real condition upon opening the box, that does not cause the cat's being in the dead status or the living status.

Many of our ideas about the world are based more on feelings than facts, sensibilities than science, and rage than reality. We gravitate toward ideas that make us feel comfortable in areas such as religion, politics, philosophy, social justice, love and sex, humanity, and morality. We avoid ideas that make us feel uncomfortable. This avoidance is a largely unconscious process that affects our judgment and gets in the way of our ability to reach rational and reasonable conclusions. By understanding how our mind works in this area, we can start embracing uncomfortable ideas and be better informed, be more understanding of others, and make better decisions in all areas of life.
