Auto-Pilot

How normal is an atom?

Over the counter I handed over the exact change, asked for a ticket for Delhi University…I was standing at the University Metro station! Now, obviously I was doing things on my auto-pilot and therefore the blunder happened. The same mistake happened thrice this week. That is what happens with previously fed notions…they do not work at the other end of the destination, or in other words situations change and the same answers do not work though apparently the window everywhere appears to be the same. The answer is either to update the ‘fed notions’ which needs a conscious reprogramming, or man-handle the thing instead of the auto-pilot. Now, auto pilot works when there is repetition in process-predictability cuz true.

To man handle the thing one needs to be in touch with the various factors which previously were automatically taken care of i.e. instead of performing a partial function of just pressing the button you ‘go through’ the whole process which is a play of multiple mechanisms. There are certain truths of every situation, we call it a Law in science. A law in ref. to legislature is most definitely an imposed truth which could as well be a lie. However, our dear ol scientific law is not a factor dependent on a council of judges or judgement….rather, it is a dis- cover ‘d truth. That is why we do not even need policemen to impose the scientific laws unlike the social Laws which are imposed by the army, police and the politician with the businessman fuelling them. Coming back from the deviation we can say truth or scientific law is imposed automatically so you need not follow but ‘understand’ the mechanism to be in control. The fascinating part is that you do not even need to ‘impose’ a truth. If it is truth it is-It is!

So I am just trying to understand the auto-pilot these days. A few more blunders to set right;)
