En Endelig Sannhet

Humans are unable to truly prove anything because we can only see it from one perspective. Even if I hear someone else speak, I still have to perceive what she is saying. Color blindness is an example of a different perspective. If we assume that color blindness is real than how can I prove to a person that the way he sees the world is a lie. Without technology I would have no way to show him color or my perspective. He would likely argue that his perspective is correct and that I am the one that is not seeing the world correctly.

Growing up in Manhattan Beach I did not have to fight to survive. I was able to devote my time to learning and overcoming my inner demons. I see the world as an interconnected web, but as a child I found it hard to make sense of the web and communicate my thoughts to others. I also saw the evil and suffering that fills this world. I developed depression because of that. I found my solutions to my issues in philosophical stories like the X-Men comics, history, and science. As I grow up, I began to explore science more and found a world where my belonged. Science also provided me with a glimpse of how I could help others deal with the pain in this world. My fascination with science led me to make my life mission, “Always search for knowledge and better the world with the knowledge I gain”. The most important things I hope to better, is the environment. The damage humans do to it must be lessened. I want to use science, like many others, to find solutions to pollution and other man-made health risks. I want to work with biologists to learn about genetics and possibly make organisms that can quicken decomposition and get rid of harmful toxins.

Yet I also study life to purely learn. I want to help expand our understanding of how we work. I want to be there to help humanity answer questions like; how does memory work and how could we create stem cells?

Throughout my search for knowledge I also desire to find a group I can share life with. I know that the search for knowledge is not enjoyable if done alone.
