Condensation
Realised that one should look for the best in people and not the worst. Probably everyone has something bad about them and if you concentrate on that then you'd not like anyone. Per told me something from his cognitive therapy course that was very apt, I can't remember what it was but I'll edit it in later. It reminds me of what I often tell physics students; never try to prove something that is wrong, it ill make you very unhappy (sort of connected). Also realised that trust is maybe more important than respect.
So focusing on the good aspects of the day; had an excellent bouldering session at Iglekjøn, did three 7a problems and was getting somewhere on the low start to "Bunde Romantic". This is named after the guy who owns the boulder. He took part in a national TV programme where farmers look for wives only he was looking for a man, pretty brave really. He didn't get enough votes to win but I think he found someone. Later went to the Lipman boulder with Per (two sessions in one day!) did two new problems and Per did Maureen.
Tomorrow is the 17th May and tonight is traditionaly a big party night in Norway so some friends are coming round to have a sort of condensed party. I've noticed as one gets older things get condensed. Parties used to be music, dance, socialising, drinking etc. And now, well lets just say that it's not all of these things. Same thing with climbing, it used to be ropes, harness, cliff etc. now it's a small boulder in a wood.

I can see how you can respect someone and not trust them but I don't seem to be able to picture that the other way around.
Other than that, you seem to have a lot of party days in Norway. ;)
Cheers!

I guess I was thinking of respect for authority. Just a random thought. Party now over and have to think of tomorrow's celebrations.

Hey Chris, just a small question about one of your statment in this post:
How can one detemine that something is wrong, if he will not try to prove it?
Everything is possible, just hope, and the answer could appear one day.
(Just a small unimportant thought)
Cya around i guess.
Hi; maybe I should have said that one can't prove something to be true that is in fact false (rather than wrong). For example you can't prove that if dropped a ball will go up since this is false. It is a common problem in Physics class that students guess an answer then try to prove it.
Still, how can one determine what is true and what is not? After all one's perception upon a physical law, could be different from your perception upon it, but still relatively true.
Your example is explicit, and not arguable, but one can take for example the question of the universe – there is evidence that during its earliest moments the universe experience an expansion, because of some kind of a burst. This is called “The inflation”, if I am not wrong. This inflation implies that the objects in the universe had their origins in subatomic quantum fuzz. Yet, human beings cannot prove it; therefore, it is not more than an assumption. One can argue that if human beings cannot prove the physical cause for this inflation, than it cannot be true, therefore one should not seek after the answer.
Another example could be the “undiscovered” elementary particles that could imply about the creation and formation of Galaxies, concerning their gravitational field and their existence with some kind of a substance of light. One can argue that because these particles are “undiscovered”, than it is not logical that they exist. Moreover, human beings do not have access to check it in now days, therefore why should one be bother to discover that question?
What I want to underline is that what is wrong in now days could be right in the next generation. There are many unknown issues, moreover some conceptions could be prove wrong in the future, if we will follow the track of man kind history – things that were true, became false.
Anyhow, just a small anecdote, and it is likely that I had some mistakes here.
(I wish we could have some kind of discussions in the physics classroom, but the IB says no)
Cheerio.
Hmmm... I think it's fair to say I am not an authority type of a person :)
Have fun at the celebrations!
