People
are not robots. It is a statement heard by those who are beginning to talk
about the importance of the rational. Unfortunately, the idea of the
balanced, discipline and order, border with the notions of strict regime,
dystopias and totalitarianism. But this is not the case. Moreover, the triumph
of rationalism only increases with the degree of "maturation" of
humanity. We are rapidly approaching the age when it is rational to quote all
kinds of attitudes, behaviors and culture. Why? Because a man's world, more and
more begins to depend on the achievements of science and progress, which in
turn are held on rational beliefs.
It
is important to know what a rational person least like a robot. Each of us,
your view of the world. Each - their own system of beliefs, goals and rules.
What is a balanced solution for one another may seem absurd. But it is not only
in the cause and effect of certain actions. After all, a person who seeks to do
everything reasonable to deprive yourself of a number of possibilities. The
question now rests on the cost of this kind of "opportunity." For
some, it is an important event, a walk in the club, driving at high speed,
jumping with a parachute or a great pastime with friends. Yes, all these things
may be important, based on the context. Perhaps the club will be the chief,
with whom you can bring closer the relationship, it was necessary to go fast,
that would bring his friend to the hospital, skydiving - rehabilitation unit
after drug abuse and so on. It all depends on what a person receives.
And
here we are faced with another obstacle. Often, that would act rationally, it
is necessary to provide a desired goal. Having at least some landmark, horizon,
image. Something that is far enough away, and what a worthwhile endeavor. No
tools, no brand is not a status thing (because the thing you need to implement
something), but something higher. Idea, Purpose, Design. Something that will
force us to improve, to grow over a move for more. And that often we do not
have at all.
The
artificially created values, advertising brands, and the whole culture of
consumerism - not rational. There is no place for "the practical
application" as the main purpose of trade marks - to declare itself. Do
not benefit, but to highlight the status. Food is bought not for the fact that
to "eat", but for what would "enjoy the taste". We go to a
club, play games or watch TV to participate in the "show" and not to
"rest" as claimed by others. World irrational as rationalism
unprofitable.
In
order to defend the independence, to choose what is necessary to live in a fun,
man must exert some brains. Not much. Just a little bit. At least in order to
install Internet filters that block advertisements. In order to recalculate the
budget. That would not be broken once the loan and defer money wisely and buy
in the future of the desired product.
Well,
it is possible to live "in a rush". You can learn to take pleasure in
taking advantage of the availability of the world. But do we have the right to
be called human beings? After all, no matter what we use, high speed internet,
or newspaper page. But someone will look for technology news and ways of
self-development. And someone, funny pictures with seals.
What
it is to be, at this difficult time? The choice depends only on us.
