The revolutionary theory of the 5 bit
My experience leads me to establish this theory.
Conduct this experiment: enter a debate forum in which there exist preconceived ideas about a specific topic. If it is a forum about a particular religion, define yourselves as atheists. If it is a forum about freedom of expression, define yourselves as religious fundamentalists. If it is a forum where science branch students participate, define yourselves as astrologers. In each and every one of these cases the response is the same. There exist several types of responses that we will encounter and that are very easy to define. We will begin with the first type:
Only knows how to process YES on each occasion and, should the case arise, only says NO. Does not go beyond that, does not need to think, only to vegetate, and feeds on the information it receives. Fortunately, this is not the most common.
This is already a more complex organism and knows how to say yes and no. Thanks to this mental complexity it can be in favor or against an opinion even if it does not reason it out. That is what columnists, professors, or the most comfortable and majoritarian opinion is for to reach consensus. They cannot understand, for example, that you like both the sea and the mountains, astrology and science, or the colors blue and red in parallel. In short, binary brains. Unfortunately, a majoritarian current belongs to this type of organism. If you do not believe me, conduct the experiment mentioned in the first paragraph.
Here we have surpassed science and entered the realm of perception. Everything is possible and everything remains to be discovered. Science is established based on a way of perceiving things. It establishes what rules must be followed and where we arrive by continuing in that line. However, just as a being born in a world of only two dimensions would hardly be able to understand those individuals who live in three, it is difficult for them to abandon their place of comfort. New theories usually require true heroes. Therefore, the next step is the relativity in the perception of things. There is no doubt that by applying another perception the world changes. With 5 bits, the majority of existing PREjudices disappear.
