When we are presented information, I notice a lot of people going with this information as fact without weighing all the pro’s and con’s, or variables involved with information presented. This is also done with little to no research on the viewer/readers part either. Most are quick to defend their belief without even accepting any other possibility. People have been taught to be closed minded.

To
give an example I was sent a picture on my phone that was supposed to
be for a new Technology. To test it out I was to place a lemon wedge on
the picture on my phone, or device screen, and the other wedge a couple
feet away from the lemon sitting on the
screen. After waiting 10 minutes I was to taste the lemons, and see if
there was a difference in the way the 2 wedges tasted.
There was of course a significant difference in the flavor of the one on the phone versus the one sitting alone by itself. This was supposed to tell me that this new Technology worked, and was supposed to be a way to prove it worked. Being I tend to think things out and weigh all variables I chose to do this test 8 times. I did this 8 times with the picture I was sent and got the same results all 8 times. If I could repeat the same results then it had to be true right? Nope!
That is where most people would stop and be sold on the idea alone that this has got to be true and some awesome new stuff I can use. This can be applied in any situation. If anyone knows of the Technology I am speaking about, I am NOT saying it does not work or is not real. What I am saying is only that this particular test to try and sell the product, is/was misleading. Why? Well being me and the thinker with a mind that kind of works the way a scientific mind would, I had to do this test in other way's. This in no way makes me right or wrong. It just makes me think outside of anything being presented to me. I can choose to believe it or look for evidence to prove it is truth.
I took a picture of Yoda and did the same test with the phone and lemon 8 more times. I got the same exact results as I did with the first picture. I then did the same test 8 more times just with the phone on and no pictures at all. I got the same results again.
What does this tell you?
