Ayikho Into Enjenge-Common Sense

Ekuqaleni komsebenzi womsizi wami wokuqala onguprofesa, kwakukhona usuku lapho ngalahlekelwa khona ngokuphelele ubhanana wami. Ngandlela-thile akekho umuntu onelungelo lokuhlala angafanele akwenze. Usokhemisi weza emhlanganweni wososayensi bezenhlalo engangikuwo futhi waphakamisa ukuthi inyuvesi kumele ibambisane nenkampani yeziphuzo ezithambile ukukhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kweziphuzo zabo ngokulinganisela. Akazange aqaphele ukuthi kunesayensi ephelele mayelana nokuqonda ukuzithiba.

Ngingumcwaningi wokuzithiba. Ngenza ucwaningo nezinye izifundo zocwaningo ukuqonda ukuthi abantu bacabanga kanjani ngokuzithiba nokuthi abantu bangaba ngcono kanjani ekuziphatheni kwabo. Ngangazi ngaso leso sikhathi ukuthi lo mkhemisi wayenombono omubi. Kepha iqiniso bekungukuthi, akekho noyedwa owake wenza ucwaningo ngombono wokulinganiswa ngaleso sikhathi. Ngiyazi ngoba ngokushesha ngemuva kwalowo mhlangano, ngihlolisise imininingwane yethu yocwaningo ngifuna isayensi ezothumela engisebenza naye indlela. Njengoba bungekho ubufakazi obuzotholakala, bekukimi ukwenza isayensi. Ngithumele umyeni wami umyalezo wokuthi ngizofika ekhaya sekwephuzile futhi emahoreni ambalwa ngibhale isicelo semvume yokuziphatha lapho ngiphakamise khona uchungechunge lwezifundo mayelana nokuthi abantu bacabanga kanjani ngokulinganisela nokuthi imiyalezo yokulinganisela ikuthinta kanjani ukuziphatha kwabo.

Kungani ngiphumile ngomqondo wokulinganisela? Izizathu ezimbili ezinkulu.

Inkinga yokuqala ngombono wokulinganiswa ukuthi yilokho izinhloso zethu abacwaningi abazibiza ngezinga eliyindida. Ingabe ngiyidlile inhlama ye-chocolate chip cookie ngokulinganisela izolo? Benginakho. Angeke ngiliphike lelo qiniso. Kepha angizange ngisidle sonke isitsha. Ngakho-ke, ngiwuthola kuphi umugqa 'wokulinganisela'?

Senze ucwaningo ukuthola, ngaphandle kokuthi sibuze abantu ngokulinganisela ekudleni amakhukhi abhakwe ngokuphelele. Ngokukhethekile, sibuze abantu ukuthi mangaki amakhukhi asanda kubhakwa (siwabhake impela khona lapho ebhodini futhi sawabeka epuletini phambi kwabantu) abantu kufanele kudla, kungadla phakathi ukulinganisela , futhi angadla aqede ukuzitika . Abantu bachaze ukulinganisela njengokuncane kakhulu kunokuzitika. Ngakho-ke izindaba ezinhle lezo. Kepha babuye bakuchaza njengezikhathi eziyi-1.5 inani lamakhukhi okufanele bawadle, umehluko ophawulekayo ngokwezibalo. Umehluko obaluleke kakhulu, nawo. Ukube abantu bathathe isinqumo sokudla esisodwa nje ngosuku njengalokhu benzile kubhu yethu yocwaningo — uma bedle "ngokulinganisela" esikhundleni sokudla kakhulu njengoba kufanele ngesikhathi sokudla okukodwa noma isidlo esisodwa kanye ngosuku - bangadla imali elinganiselwa ku-25,000+ ngaphezulu ama-calories esikhathini esingangonyaka. Lokho kungaphezu kwamakhilogremu ayisishiyagalombili esisindo somuntu omaphakathi. Ukungaqondakali okuncane kuyangeza.

Nayi inkinga yesibili ngokulinganisela — umqondo usho okuhlukile kuwo wonke umuntu. Ngenkathi sifundisisa le nkinga ngokulinganisela sathola ukuthi abantu abathanda izinto ezithile zokudla bathambekele ekuphaneni ngokwengeziwe ngencazelo yabo yokulinganisela — kepha kuphela ngezinto abazithandayo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ngicabanga ukuthi kufaneleke kahle ukusebenzisa ama-ounces angama-20 nsuku zonke zeDiet Coke (engikukhethayo ngokungazitholi okungenampilo) ngenkathi ngasikhathi sinye ukwahlulela umuntu ophuza i-ounce elilodwa leziphuzo ezibandayo ezivamile ngesonto.

Ngakho-ke lokhu kuhlangana ngani nomqondo ophusile, futhi kusho ukuthini kuwe?

Ingqondo inezinkinga ezimbili ezifanayo njengokulinganisela. Okokuqala, ukusebenzisa ingqondo kuyindida. Ngaphandle kwemihlahlandlela ecacile mayelana nokuziphatha, ukuqonda okuvamile kushiya kuvuleke kakhulu ekuchazelweni futhi kuzoba nzima ukuphoqelela.

Okwesibili, ukusebenzisa ingqondo akuvamile neze. Akekho ongahle avumelane ngokuthi kuyini ukusebenzisa ingqondo. Kwesinye isikhathi lokhu kwehluka kuzoba okunengqondo — okuwumqondo ovamile edolobheni akufani nalokho okunengqondo edolobheni elincane. Kepha kwesinye isikhathi lokhu kwehluka kungaba yinkinga, ikakhulukazi ngoba abantu kungenzeka bathambekele kulokho abafuna ukukwenza. Lapho abantu befuna ukwenza okuthile, kulapho bezocabanga ukuthi kungena esigabeni somqondo ophusile, ngendlela nje ababambiqhaza bethu abathanda ukudla okulula okungathi gummy babephana kakhulu ezinkolelweni zabo mayelana nokuthi zingaki izindlela zokuphatha ezimise izithelo ezingabala njengokulinganisela . Ngeke sivumelane ngalokho okulungile uma kuthonywe izinkolelo zethu.

Okwamanje, akusithina sonke esithola imihlahlandlela ecacile mayelana nokuziphatha. ICDC ibhale umbiko onemihlahlandlela enemininingwane yokuvula kabusha izingxenye zezwe, futhi mhlawumbe sizobabona, kepha lokho akubonakali ngathi kungenzeka. Unganxuswa abanye osopolitiki noma amalungu omndeni ukuthi nje "usebenzise ingqondo." Njengoba neqembu lami lososayensi bezenhlalakahle bebengeke bangakhathali ukukhuthaza ukuphuza iziphuzo ezibandayo ngokulinganisela, kodwa-ke, akunandaba nempilo yomphakathi ukuthembela emshweni osho izinto eziningi kakhulu kubantu abaningi.

Ungahle ungatholi izincazelo zomqondo ovamile ezingeni likazwelonke noma lombuso, kepha ungaba nezingxoxo emkhakheni wakho wethonya ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi unokuqonda okufanayo. Buza abangani bakho, umndeni, abantu obathandayo, kanye nabahlinzeki bezinsizakalo ukuthi ngabe bagqoke izifihla-buso, bayaphi futhi kaningi kangakanani, nokuthi hlobo luni lobungozi abaluthathayo. Thembeka futhi uphelele kulokho okulindele kubantu ozosebenzisana nabo. Thatha isikhathi sokubeka ukuqonda okujwayelekile emuva ngomqondo ofanayo.
