# Trust The Reason And Dismiss Experiences

Experience is what you INVENT.

Suppose that you look the moon while you are moving. You will see
that the moon also moves with you. Does the moon actually moves wi
th you? No.

In this case, what you did was INVENTING an experience with your r
eason. To say exactly, you invented an alternative natural interpr
etation. By that, the old evidence which PROVES that the moon move
s with you is now a new evidence which CONTRADICTS to it. If the m
oon actually moves with you, what you saw will be different.

This is what exactly happened in the scientific revolution. What C
opernicus was right about is that he dismissed all the experiences
and trusted his own reason only. Galileo was good at changing the
natural interpretation of people too.

For example, Aristotelians pointed out that if you drop a ball at
the top of a tower, the motion will be a free fall. Then Galileo s
aid that if you drop a ball on a moving ship, the motion will be a
free fall.

So what can we learn from this?

We can learn that "Data-driven" is not as good as you think. There
is no objectivity. Everything is theory-laden and only inter-subje
ctivity exist. So if you want to be "objective", the only thing yo
u could do is allowing all the schizo theories to compare with. Th
e earth may be flat and people may be able to use telepathy. I'm n
ot saying that you should trust every schizo theory though. Just c
ompare your thoughts with them. You need external criteria.

However if you fell into a schizo theory, that's not a bad thing.
Parmenides was a hardcore autist. But he somewhat expected the the
ory of the relativity. Also, there are hyper autistic people who d
on't believe the infinity exists. But their theories are useful fo
r computer science. Everything should be finite in that case.

Finally, there would be a severe limit for AIs. I'm highly suspici
ous that an AI would be able to INVENT an experience. An AI is bas
ically an automatic (non-parametric) statistics machine like appli
ed statisticians say. So how can an AI INVENTS an experience, not
just fetch from it?
