All conclusions stem from some kind of logical interpretation of certain assumptions. If we apply this notion iteratively, whereby we come to use prior conclusions as assumptions for further conclusions, we build what is seemingly a well built stack of knowledge. What most fail to understand, myself included, is that at the lowest levels and even at those higher up, we can create scenarios that do not depend on conventional assumptions. This frees us from the limitations of any and all conclusions built up so far. Moreso, at the very bottom level, assumptions must be taken from somewhere other than logical interpretation. These assumptions can come from two different places. The first place is that we made it up from thin air. The second place can come from external stimuli which someone else created, also from thin air. Strange that we always to try to change the results rather than our reality from which these conclusions are based.
