Blog #4 (face value)

On Friday, My teacher, Mr. Anderson (name has been been blocked for his safety) asked us to write down something that a teacher told us in the past 24 hours that I accepted as a fact. I personally had problems with this part, mainly, because I'm in an epic battle against a cold virus that has been going around lately. But Mr. Anderson was nice and let my pick anyone in the past week that some one told me yadda yadda yadda. So I picked the time I was texting my dad, asking for an update to a football game that I really wanted to watch, but couldn't because I was at a friends house. My dad told me that the team that I was wanting to win, lost 28-23. I obviously took this at face value, and was sort of depressed from the loss. Since I took it at face value, and didn't actually know that they lost or not, I asked a couple people if they did lose, and all of them said yes. I then went onto the website of the team, and it also said that they lost. After all the information that I had received, I would have to say that I know that the team I was wanting to win, lost 28-23.

Blog #3 (Do you see what other people see?)

OK, so, Theory of Knowledge decided to BLOW MY MIND today. Not like "Ohh, wow, that's interesting", I mean like "WOOOAAAAAHHHH!!!". I have thought of this before, but only slightly, it is merely thought that maybe what we perceive, others perceive differently, or not at all. For instance, what I perceive is the colour red, could be completely different, and example of this is, I could say that my shirt today was blue (which to me it was), and to other people, it may have also been blue (unless you we're colour blind in some way that you wouldn't be able to perceive the colour blue), BUT the way that one person may perceive the colour blue, may be the same way I perceive the colour green. Way back in kindergarten and further in our lives, we are taught how to tell colours apart, but what they didn't tell us, or at least that I can remember, is that colour is really just light being absorbed into surfaces, and the surface gives off a colour, depending on the fabric, or whatever, the item is made of. So this got me thinking. WAAAAY back in grade kindergarten (that's right, I said "GRADE Kindergarten"), when the teacher told me what the colour yellow looked like, the way that I saw yellow, could/would/can possibly be WAY different from the teachers/other students way of perceiving the apparent "colour yellow". I do believe I have ranted on for long enough today. I will hopefully update/make another blog soonish.

Blog #2 (Thinking of winning)

One thing that has been bothering me for a while, but didn't remember it until Michael(a classmate of mine) and I started talking about it. The theory that if you think your going to win something (like a race or a game of some sort) then you will have a better chance of winning. Is this true? In some ways, personally, I do. but doesn't everybody believe that they are going to win? I think that the person, or people, that believe or "know" that they are going to win more, will win. But of coarse there will be people that might read this blog that dissagree with me, but remember that this is my personal opinion. In another senario of believing that they are going to win, is whether or not going into a draw (some sort of door prize) that person would have a better chance, or not. In that case, in my opinion, its all pure luck. As i put it, its a 50/50 chance (even if its in reality a 30,000 to 1 chance that you are going to win, its 50/50, either you'll win or not)

For now, I have run out of things to say. Next time I will try not to leave my blog to the last moment.

Blog #1!!

Hello peoples of the interweb! This blog is for a class I am currently taking in high school called "Theory of Knowledge". I have yet to figure out what this class is about, but i'm guessing it has something to do with knowledge and the theory of it. So far in the class we have learned that you need three different things necessary for knowledge to possibly happen: justification, belief and truth. This has been an introduction to my blog, and I hope to update my blog as often as I have free time, or because something poped into my head about knowledge and my veiws on it. For now, I will be off to find more information about knowledge, and the theory behind it ...Toodals
