Every idea that is now more known and familiar was once unknown and unsuspected.
From an early age we were taught that the right way to proceed is in baby steps. If you overdo it and end up with something that’s not in the textbook, you won’t be rewarded for it, but you will get a nice ten.
This explains why academics often seek banal publications and not new frontiers.
Fair To Mistakes
The people are terrified of secrets because they are afraid of making mistakes, if you gol is to won’t make mistakes in your life, you shouldn’t look for secrets.
Dedicating your life to something no one else believes is hard enough.
But being alone and in the wrong is unbearable.
The world is flat
Whoever had the ambition to be the first to go in search of secrets would have wondered: if it were still possible to discover something new, wouldn’t someone smarter and more talented already?
This doubt can dissuade a person from starting looking for seacrets in a world that seems bigger to a man trying to make a difference.
Forty years ago, people were more open to thinking that not all knowledge was widely disseminated.
Today, very few people take unorthodox ideas seriously, and someone say that it is a sign of progress..
We may be grateful that there are fewer strange religions today, but we have given up on secrets that have yet to be discovered.
Theodore Kaczynski or also known as the Unabomber
Kaczynski attended Sherman Elementary School in Chicago. A test he took at the age of 10-11 determinated that his IQ was 165-170, and thanks to this result he was allowed ti skip to the new year.
Kaczynski described all of this as a key event in his life. He did not get along well with older children and was bullied and offended. As a child, Kaczynski was afraid of people and buildings, and did not interact directly with other children. His mother was so worred about his behaviour that she thought about enrolling him in a study for autistic children.
Kaczynski enrolled in Harvard at sixteen. And he got a doctorate in mathematics, and became a professor at Berkeley University.
But if you know him, probably for his 17-year campaign of terror,which he has carried out with his bomb tubes against professors, technologists and businessmen.
By the end of 1995, the authorities did not know who the Unabomber was. The most important clue was a 35,000-word-long manifest he had sent to the press.
The FBI had asked some major newspaper to publish it hoping for a turning point in the case.
Unabomber’s brother recognized his writing style and denounced him.
You may be wondering what a bomber has to do with this article, well
Kaczynski stated that to be happy, each individual “must have goals whose achievement requires effort, and must be successful in achieving at least some of these goals.
He divided human goals into 3 groups:
- Goals that can be achieved with minimal effort
- Goals that can be achieved with serious effort
- Goals that cannot be achieved no matter what the effort is.
Kaczynski believed that people are depressed because all the difficult problems in the world have already been solved, what is left is easy or impossible.
What you can do even a child can do, what you cannot do, even Einstein would not be able to do it.
So his idea was to destroy existing institutions, get rid of all the technology and let people start over and get back to working on difficult problems.
What would a world be like where there are no more secrets to discover?
To say that there are no more secrets to be discovered in the world would mean that there are no hidden injustices either, or that there are no cases of hidden injustices.
An injustice entails a moral truth that initially few people notice, on the other hand in a democratic society, a practice is only wrong when most people do not conceive it as unfair.
At first, only a small part of people knew that slavery was bad, and rightly after a long time it became a conventional way of seeing things, but at that time it was still a secret.
You cannot discover the secrets if you do not seek them
You can’t discover secrets if you don’t look for them, they wouldn’t be called secrets if they were easy for anyone to find.
I think there will always be secrets, and I would be wary of people who think there is nothing more to discover. Believing in something that has not yet been discovered is like betting on a horse that no one has ever bet on before.
