Below the Surface

Looking at the world solely at a surface level will not yield satisfactory answers and anything to do with human behaviour must be investigated for motivation before making conclusions.

One of the problems is that we love to create groupings and draw conclusions largely based on quick observation before looking below the surface. The overweight person is assumed to be an over eater until we later learn there is a glandular problem. We surmise with the same rationale that the overly thin person also must have a horrible appetite.

One of the things I like to do is look behind the surface of things to comprehend the epistemology and the inner workings. I want to look for the main driver and any other possible causes and I don't understand why anyone would want to do otherwise.

Victim to urban sprawl and horrible civic planning. Car culture did not help....
