Trying to look at all sides of the cube.

Good evening Briboy.

Not trying to discredit anything or anyone. Found the Jericho article a few days ago. Just fascinated by the wide range of thoughts on various subjects. Perhaps my best explanation was in a portion of a past post of mine on this board:

"You have a valid point about opening my mind to logic and scientific reproducible proof. It reminds me of attending a seminar many years ago and participating in a session about problem solving and evaluation.

Four people are seated at opposite sides of a card table. Placed in front at eye level is a Rubic's cube. Each person is told to state the color of the cube from their perspective. Four different answers are given, red, orange, yellow and green.

Next all are asked to stand, view the cube, and state the color of the cube. Again there are four answers, red-blue, orange-blue, yellow-blue, and green-blue.

Now, all are instructed to walk around the table, observe the cube, and report the color of the cube. At last all four people have the same answer, red-orange-yellow-green-blue.

Far too often in life when looking at problems, or in answering questions, few take the time to stand up and walk around the cube. They also fail to reach out and lift up the cube to see the underside color (white) as it is hidden.

As a wise person states, “Things are not always what they seem”.
