Even though the capacity is the same - the potential to hold 5 liters is there - the bucket will be holding less than even the 3 liter buckets that used all the opportunities.

Even if Astronomical were born with very high IQ, and a high "capacity" for learning... If they do not have the opportunities available to them in life to actually make USE of their potential - they will end up behind. If capacity alone controlled the outcome, there would be little use for school at all - we`d all just pick up things based on "our senses".

I wouldn`t want a doctor who had great potential - I`d want one who actually filled their capacity (so to speak).

I knew a girl (a few years younger than me) whose name was Candy, her sister Sugar. Everyone joked that they sounded like a porn star names. They were smart, from a good family, etc... What Candy is now? An "exotic dancer". Sugar ended up on the streets.

Your name does have a very strong effect on where you end up in life.

And like I've said, "Astronomical" would only end up with "less sensorial knownledge". Nothing else, and nothing more.

Our divergences here also points to social structure. In general sense, social institutions and norms become embedded into social systems in such a way that they shape the behavior of actors within those social systems. - Unfortunatly.

You think that the "5 liters bucket" could be fullfilled to nearly 5 liters if he wasn't named "Astronomical", instead of nearly 3 liters "limit".

I dont think we should even fullfill 1/5 of it. Call it Mysantrophy, Racionalism, or stupidity. But i dont really think that we can archieve the true "shape" of knownledge within our "sensorial human reality". - Yes, im agnostic.

Thats why i dont even think he should make use of those 2.5/5 capacities, because he isn't going to archieve the true "shape" of knownledge because hes within the "sensorial human reality".

Therefore, for me, any "knownledge/concept" created upon this "sensorial human reality", (creating concepts through the process of captation of information through our senses that are processed in our brain and in consequence creates concepts) is questionable/uncertain.

I doubt that we can archieve the true "shape" of knownledge within this reality.


PS: I guess i went a little bit "off-convo", but i wanted you to know that we have different perspectives ragarding alot of things mentioning in the convo.

PSS: Yes, you can throw at my face that im living within this "sensorial reality" and that i cant do much about it as a unit, and therefore, should stick with its "norms" and "rules".

PSSS: Yes, im such an hipocrit and ironic person. Im agnostic, and yet im on the university studying and learning the "human sensorial knownledge/concepts". How pitty.
