What are you accepting as fact?
I have taken this question from a comment made by Yoav on a previous post:
"…everybody takes many things for granted in everyday life without questioning it. At some point in our lifetime… often during school… we are told certain facts, and in many cases, we accept these facts without knowing all the reasons behind them. We don’t always attempt to come to the same conclusion ourselves, or to criticize the logic behind that conclusion.
If people don’t analyze everyday life, how can they be expected to analyze the abstract and unusual"
Some things that come to mind include:
- our computer keyboards being laid out with ‘qwerty’…a vestige from type writers
- rail road tracks … thanks to the Roman’s and their chariots
- many administrative processes
- the rule of thumb: an old rule about how long the implement a husband could hit his wife with
Any things you can think of…?
