Myths
and legends - one of the elements of progress. Looking at them in this context,
we can say that it is the imagination is the basis of all inventions. Thanks to
the tandem of fantasy and elements of the objective world, creating new
technologies and advancing scientific progress. But at the heart of everything
new is some kind of base, well-generated data that describe our world.
It
is extremely difficult to come up and introduce something new. We must look
into the most impenetrable places, often by investing resources with no hope of
return. Many, many innovators working on the wear and loss. Most have not
succeeded, but those who "survived" the privileges and success.
The
tireless struggle and production of ideas (yet) meager human mind, we often
look for easier ways of acquiring knowledge. We tried to look for inspiration
and neglected discipline. We rely on very specific ways to "cleanse the
mind." Often we focus our attention on the "anchor", completely
dismissing the possibility to use sails.
The
most common myth became a legend not just a modified subject encompasses
certain sacredness and meaning of life. This was the subject of the Grail, the
Ark, the source of wisdom ... any symbol, the most typical specific culture or
worldview. We do not just offer expeditions to search for that character, and
they all ended in failure.
Misconception
that earlier people were wise. Yes, for the time they can seem geniuses. But
compared to the modern man, every wise man lost at times (if received as a
contemporary of basic and higher education). The sources of ancient wisdom can
really tell that we are not able to do: to weave shoes, knit collars like a
horse shoe, and other facts of this kind. They are valuable not their data, but
only in the form and attitude era. Compared with a similar attitude often comes
to mind to love any person to books, not because of the information, and
because of the smell of pages, weight in his hand, and the rustling of pages
... Yeah, this book a pleasure to read, but then it turns out that we pay is
not for the content, not for the "soul", but only for form.
We
are useless to look for sources of knowledge for the sake of information. If
they have survived since ancient times, and the information in them is very
old. If they are left extraterrestrial civilizations, not the fact that they
described methods can be decrypted or use on humans. And the whole of human
history shows that all that we manage, we owe the gradual development of
knowledge.
Progress
in very rare cases, carried out "on a whim", and that those facts are
proved perfectly. Even Mendeleev had more than 10 years to fight over the
periodic table that would see some inspiration in a dream.
One
fact remains. Knowledge and all the information to which we have access,
creates and multiplies the only creature in the universe call a man.
