Am I nuts??

Science and Technology. These are the buzz words of this and the centuries to come. Every single scientific development, research, discovery has been defined and described using the funda of counting or totaling. Since ____ (I don't know when), we humans are being taught the "counting" way of dealing with things. 1 + 1 gives 2 and 3 - 3 gives zilch. For simplicity sake I'll use a self defined term "Kouting" to represent the act of counting in this post.

Did we ever questioned that is there anything scientific which is not bothered by Kouting. All human inventions, discoveries, laws which we say rule this universe and every single thing which we can term as scientific is directly based or derived using Kouting. All the physics, chemistry, biology (and all associated blah's) which we humans have defined and are made to believe since our existence is simply based upon the paradigm of Kouting.

I ask, who defined Kouting. Ofcourse...we, the humans. So this Kouting is just "some way to deal with things" which exists only on a small planet in this vast universe. Basically the only tool which we have used over the years to explain all the phenomenons which we have theorized. Our world works on the funda of Kouting.

Don't u think that what wud have happenned if we were having some other tool or instrument other than this Kouting? We humans are trying to overwhelm ourselves by trying to explore the far ends of this universe, research and develop new technologies, appliances of science and what not. Can we be ever able to understand this universe merely using the only tool we have? We have evolved throught the ages and the speed with which we are moving forward to the future is awsome...infact unbelievable. But aren't we going in a very typecast way, we are running forward in straight lane which has huge walls all over the sides...and we never bothered to look beyond those walls to see what lies outside....

:am I nuts??:
that you ARE...certainly not because you claim so here but for some gazillion reason best-known to thyself. ;-)

'Lateral Thinking' my friend. That's what it is...thinking OOTB. But I'll let you arrive at your own conclusions. Lemme attempt an explanation with my measly tools to thought. Civilization is an amalgam of thought and process. Now, this process is defined by us mortals through 'thought' which may be 'conventional' and/or OOTB. What majority chooses to do is tread the beaten path which has zilch risk. But a considerable lot (like thyself) define or atleast attempt alternative pathways. It is such a series of 'ongoing' failure/success stories that ensures what we are today. If everything were to be 'normal' forever...this piece of comment wouldnt exist. Happy Musing! :-)
