What the Bleep do we know?

Based on your experience in this course (overall) and the final project in particular, discuss how some of the ideas rasied in the movie we watched today, What the Bleep Do We Know?, might impact your personal and professional development. How has exploring large topics such as what is presented in the movie and final project assignment helped you with critical thinking and creative exloration? Post your answer to your blog and submit the URL here to earn your points. This assigment is worth 50 points. That should help anyone who needs it to be able to make up some missed points from earlier in the semester. It also reflects the gravity of this topic.

The movie was rather informative, though each individual in the video had their own subjective view on what is reality, and how we define it to be. Personally speaking, I believe that the video gave us an interesting perspective on how we, as individuals with our own perspective and viewpoint, can perceive things differently from one another. Each argument brought up by the individuals within the video is a valid point, and can be defined as a certain approach to seeing their world as it is.

How it shapes our professional and creative mentality, is that it allows us to - at the very least - recognize that there is always another viewpoint, a set perspective on how we can approach a subject. One can say it is through the influence of our own biological features. Another can argue - without difficulty - that we are under the influence of quantum mechanics - where we create the world whenever we approach a said area.

Everything is valid, and can be argued as the truth. There is no "one" right view that overwhelms the other - and the video points that out rather well. One must always be humble in the idea of alternative methods, and understand that reality isn't just one 'static' image.

And only when we realize the broader picture of reality, do we come ever so closer in understanding our own placement within it - either through enlightenment, or through our own struggle to sedate the curiosity within us.
