Siyizinkolelo Zethu

UBertrand Russell waphawula ukuthi “ukukholelwa kuyinto engokwengqondo kakhulu esiyenzayo.” Impela, izinkolelo zethu zisichazela umhlaba, futhi njengoba ngike ngabhala kwenye indawo (in Inkolelo) :

Imicabango nemizwa yethu, izenzo zethu kanye nokuphendula kwethu, akuphenduli emhlabeni njengoba unjalo — ngoba asazi iqiniso ngokoqobo — kepha emhlabeni njengoba sikholwa ukuthi unjalo. Ngenxa yezinkolelo zethu, sixubha amazinyo ethu noma asizihluphi; sivotela uJennifer hhayi uJohn; sidla ukudla okuthile futhi sigweme okunye; sikhonza unkulunkulu oyedwa noma omunye noma cha nhlobo, futhi sithembele emithini yesayensi noma ekwelapheni kwasekhaya ukwelapha izifo zethu.

Okubaluleke nakakhulu, izinkolelo zethu zisitshela ukuthi singobani. Zibeka indawo yethu emhlabeni wezenhlalo futhi zinikeze umlando womuntu siqu, wokuphila komuntu okusisekela ezindaweni ezahlukahlukene nasezimweni nasezenzakalweni esikhathini sonke sempilo yethu. Ngenxa yalokhu, ungakholelwa ukuthi ungumfundi wasenyuvesi wesilisa owakhulela eBrooklyn, uthisha wesifazane wasekolishi waseManchester, noma intatheli yephephandaba i-transgender yaseRio de Janeiro. Futhi ungakholelwa ukuthi labo bantu obavakashelayo ngamaSonto bangabazali bakho bangempela nokuthi isithombe esisodongeni lwabo ngesakho, sathathwa emcimbini wosuku lokuzalwa lapho wawuneminyaka eyishumi. Ungakholelwa ukuthi nguwe lowo muntu owaphuka ingalo ngemuva kokuwa ebhayisikili eneminyaka emihlanu, owadlala i-Music Man emdlalweni wasesikoleni esiphakeme, owathandana noMartha iminyaka emithathu, futhi manje ohleli efunda le bhulogi. Ngokuvamile sithatha kalula ukuthi lezo zinkolelo zinembile, kodwa uma kunobufakazi obusobala bokuthi aziyona, singazibiza ngokuthi ziyinkohliso. Futhi lapho izinkolelo ezinjalo zibuna lapho kuqala ukuwohloka komqondo, kancane kancane abantu balahlekelwa ulwazi ngezwe elibazungezile kodwa ngisho nabo uqobo. Abasazazi ukuthi bangobani.

Yize ngokuvamile sizithemba izinkolelo zethu futhi zivamise ukusisebenzisela kahle, zingaba sengozini enkulu ekuphutheni nasekuhlanekezelweni. Ukuqonda ukuthi kungani lokhu kunjalo, kubalulekile ukuthi uhlole ukuthi zakheka kanjani kuqala nokuthi zingashintsha kanjani ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.

Ubuchopho bethu, vele, abunakho ukuxhumana okuqondile nomhlaba wangaphandle, futhi ulwazi lwethu kuphela mayelana nokuthi kwenzekani ngaphandle luza kithi luvela ezinhlwini ezimangalisayo zezinzwa — amehlo, izindlebe, ukunambitheka nokunye — okwakhula lapho imizimba yethu babekhula esibelethweni. Lezi zinzwa ziqoqa idatha evela emhlabeni wangaphandle futhi ziyilethe kuzinqubo ezingazi lutho ebuchosheni lapho zicutshungulwa khona futhi zihunyushwe ikakhulu ngaphambi kokuphakelwa ukwazi kwethu. Ngesikhathi esisazi ngayo, "idatha" isivele seyishintshe kakhulu. Isibonelo, sibona imibala, kepha umbala awukho ngaphandle kobuchopho bethu. Kungumkhuba ozithobayo kuphela. Ngokufanayo ngomsindo: Ubuchopho bethu bakha okwenzeka ngokuzwakalayo komsindo ekuphenduleni kumagagasi ama-molecule ashaya izindlebe zethu.

Futhi-ke, sonke siyazi ukuthi amehlo ethu angasikhohlisa kwesinye isikhathi. Njengesibonelo salokhu, cabanga ngalesi sithombe engisithathe ehlobo eledlule esigcawini somphakathi eCascais, ePortugal. Kuyisibonelo esihle se- trompe l'oeil ("Khohlisa iso"). Noma ngabe ubuka indawo uqobo noma ngesithombe, kubonakala kunzima ukukholelwa ukuthi indawo ephambi kwakho empeleni isicaba ngokuphelele:

Kodwa-ke, lapho isimo esifanayo sibukwa ngombono ojikelezwa ngama-degree angama-90, ubucayi busobala:

Kodwa-ke, ngisho nokwazi ukuthi indawo eyisicaba iyisicaba, kunzima ukuqeda ukungabaza okusalele ngayo lapho uyibuka ngalolo hlobo lokuqala.

Yize imicabango enjengokujabulisa abanye inganikeza nomyalezo obalulekile: Imibono yethu ngomhlaba ingadukisa kakhulu kwesinye isikhathi futhi ingaholela ezinkolelweni ezinganembile neze. Akuwona umbono kuphela ongaholela ezinkolelweni zamanga. Amaphutha enkumbulo nokwanda kokufunda nemizwelo nakho kungakushintsha lokho esikholwa yikho. Izinqubo ezahlukahlukene ezingena ezinkolelweni zethu zakha lokho engithanda ukukuchaza njenge-Belief Engine (okuhlonipha umqondo kaCharles Babbage wekhulu le-19 wenjini yakhe yokuhlaziya eyayifanekisela ikhompyutha yanamuhla).

Futhi, njengoba ngiphawula ku- Inkolelo,

I-Belief Engine igudluza ngemuva ngemuva, ifaka imininingwane evela emhlabeni ongaphandle, ihlolisise umthombo wayo, ibheke ukuhambisana kwayo nezinkolelo ezikhona, ikubeka kwesinye isikhathi ukuhlaziya okunengqondo, bese izama ngamandla ukwenza izinkolelo ezintsha nokugcina noma ukuguqula ezindala. Imvamisa, lokhu kwenzeka ngaphandle kokuqwashiswa "kwesisebenzisi" -wena noma mina. Futhi, njengekhompyutha, ubuchopho bethu be-Belief-Engine buqukethe zombili i-hardware ne-software. Siza kulo mhlaba sihlome nge-hardware eyisisekelo, yize iqhubeka nokukhula ngokuqhubekayo eminyakeni eminingana ngemuva kokuzalwa. Uhlelo “lwesoftware,” uhlelo, luza ngokuxhumana nemvelo yethu (abazali, othisha, izingane zakwethu, abangane, abezindaba, kanye nokuhlangenwe nakho kwempilo yansuku zonke) nangokuthuthuka kwamakhono okucabanga esiwazuza njengoba sikhula.

Kuyinhloso yami ukusebenzisa le bhulogi ukuhlola ukuthi izinkolelo zethu zakhiwe kanjani yi-Belief Engine futhi sihlole ubuthakathaka bethu ekuthuthukiseni izinkolelo zamanga ezibanjwa ngokuzethemba okukhulu futhi zivikelwe ekuqinisekiseni ulwazi.
