THE TIN OF BEANS PARADOX

Before we go any further its vitally important that you read and fully understand the tin of beans paradox. Because only by understanding this will everything else including your own life make any sense.

One day a tin of beans fell off a shelf in a food storage warehouse. It lay on the floor for two minutes before a cleaner walked by and noticed the tin of beans, who then placed it back on the shelf. Now what do you think went through the mind of the cleaner when he saw the tin of beans on the floor.

“Oh look a tin of beans”

Now two minutes prior to the beans falling onto the floor a production operative walked past the spot where two minutes later a tin of beans would be. Now just what do you think went through his mind

“Hope the batteries on the the reach truck are fully charged”

Now if the cleaner had walked past that spot two minutes later after the beans had fell on the floor would he have thought the same thing. Probably not because the production operative would have picked up the tin of beans and put them back on the shelf.

Now just suppose a 2 minute time fluctuation occurred prior to the beans falling on the floor, who would have noticed the tin of beans first, the cleaner or the operative?

The answer would be neither because the beans would never have fallen on the floor. Why this paradox occurs no one can quite explain. But it could explain when you next go shopping why there is a dent in your tin of peas.

Your thoughts on the tin of beans paradox would be much appreciated or indeed any other points of reference pertaining to reality.

Such is reality, and what links this with the tin of beans paradox?

The mind of a politician cannot differentiate between the reality that is and that which is not.

THE HUSBAND

One night a man had a dream that he was a fish. When he woke up the next day he found he was at the bottom of a very large aquarium at a sea life centre in Scarborough where he subsequently died. Not through drowning but by being eaten by an Hammerhead shark.

THE WIFE

One night a woman had a dream that she was an Hammerhead shark in a very large aquarium at a sea life centre in Scarborough, and that she ate her husband. When she awoke next morning her husband was still fast asleep.

We cannot really hope to ever become aware of that which one should not be aware of. In such circumstances as these it is important that your perception of that which you perceive to be an idiosyncratic yet slightly enigmatic version of what you think you have just encountered is nothing but a misconceived paradox that means absolutely nothing, but you can give your selves great credit for actually having the patience to read this confusing nonsense.

For example; One day a Giraffe emerged from the shadow of a tree and disappeared but no one was there to see this happen, so how do we know it did?

Sometimes things happen, and sometimes they don’t. But how do we know what is what ? How can we differentiate between what we know and what we do not know. Kenneth Dyson 2023

PAVLOVS DOG THEOREM

Ivan Pavlov was perhaps a lunatic, or perhaps a brilliant mind. His theory on the conditioning of dogs was to some a revelation of almost religious proportions. To others it was the rantings of an idiot.

One day Pavlov claimed he had conditioned his dog to think it was a cat, he then placed it in a box and sealed it up. He then said to a perfectly random person there is a cat in this box is that cat alive or dead.

Stranger “How can I tell if I do not see it”

Pavlov” You have to tell me is it alive or dead”

Stranger ” But how do I know if I cannot see or hear it”

Pavlov “You cannot see it until you tell me is that cat alive or dead”

Stranger ” Then I must assume that, that cat is either alive or dead”

Pavlov “No you have to tell me is that cat alive or dead”

Stranger ” I can hear mewing and purring so that cat is alive”

Pavlov “Then you are wrong because that cat is a dog”

The stranger was then asked to open the box and out jumped a ferret. This simple test of assumptive cognitive awareness as gone a long way to prove in the courts of law whether a person is to be regarded as criminally insane or just a dog lover.

Clement Freud once said of his cat. “My cat is a cat and there is a distinct possibility he will always be a cat” Unless of course he is a dog. But I don’t have a dog, and because I don’t have a dog I will call my cat a cat, purely and simply because that is what he is. This is how my mind works and this is how your mind works. But it is not how my cats mind works because my cat as been dead for nine years.
