Arts and the nature of reality
I am biased. You are biased. We try to think we aren’t. We try to act like we are objective and unbiased. But we can’t.
Every scientist is also biased by the scientific method. This method excludes by its nature certain ways of thinking. Which makes it biased. My mother (and sometimes me) is a ‘random thinker’. That is a scientific term for a way of coming to conclusions. The very words used to describe it judge it as not a valid way of scientific thought. Biased. But my mom is intelligent and her actions are correct in so many situations.
As scientists delve more and more into the origin of life and the world, perhaps they need to let go of some bias. The artistic community may have some very good input into their ‘research’ and should have a part in forming their ‘conclusions’.
Interestingly, the words ‘research’ and ‘conclusions’ are biased toward the scientific method. Maybe what scientists need is simply more discussion and understanding, and accept they may never get a ‘conclusion’.)
