Well today I learnt something refreshing in class, although the term was more or less new to me, but the ideas it was giving wasn’t,
Atomism
• All the objects in the universe are composed of very small, indestructible elements.
Holism
• System cannot be determined or explained by the sum of its component parts alone.
• The system as a whole determines in an important way how the parts behave.
You must be going ???? WTH ??? is he talking about…
Atomism is a way of looking at things, you break it down into the smallest part possible and find out each of them work, and when u add together you will get the thing your are looking at…
Eg. 1+1+1 = 3
Holism is you look at the number itself then u look into it and find out how each smaller part work and comprehend each other give each other an extra edge …
Eg. 1+1 = 3
Okay so wats the link ?
You see when u use the 1+1 = 2 things to see stuff like how does this electrical circuit works, its very useful as all the things added up will give u 2.. no doubt abt it…
But when you take thing like humans behavior into the equation, I can tell you that 1+1 will not equal the 2 most if not all the time, because human has the extra dimension I like to call flair, flair is doing things that are unexpected. Like example love makes you do thing unexpected as well.
Think of it this way, in terms of 1+1= 2 when
But in the 1+1 = 3 your hand gets burn, but if you remove it your love ones will get hurt, so you keep you hand there…
Okay so what is the moral of the story ?
Moral is in life you can expect everything to be 1+1 = 2 because some time its not…
Human are too complex to be 1+1=2.
Humans with each other will interact and spawn new ideas out, all this inactivity and the number of idea spawn cannot be predicted or calculated its is Intangible...
