Then what is the difference between belief and assumption in our mental maps.
What about imagination? Is that belief or assumption or in-congruent map of reality.
Can imagination be part of mental processing without making us wrong about reality.
For instance, if I imagine that all buses in my city are blue, though they are red, can I then walk around with this model of reality in my head without a false belief? After all its just imagination?
Or is this model going to corrupt my thinking as I walk about thinking it, knowing full well its not true.
Further more !what does the question really ask!
Does the tree fall, first question? If it does, who is asking?
Who knows the tree? Who knows where it fell and how far and so on.
The question is more so nonsensical that it assumes the question can be asked without cognitive bias.
The question it self is cognitive bias.
If we tie down abstract thinking immediately to reality, there is no creative process to be had.
Imagination then leaves no room for us to abstract or use mental process, that bogs us down in every day life, thus we never form connections that allow us to think else.
Its either true or not, but result of sensory and thinking process such as logic is predictable, if done perfectly.
Even language can be cognitive bias.
So then if we translate the question of falling trees into reality, that is, you know what that looks like, the question is pointless. You have experienced a tree falling.
The question then makes zilch sense.
Its irrelevant.
You just know that there are no trees that fall and fail to make a sound.
There is no !if!.
There is no logic to be used.
Its like walking around and seeing a tree falling and asking people !Did you hear that?! It made a sound?
If however we word the question as such: Do all trees make a sound, all the time, under all conditions, here on Earth. Do all trees fall and hit ground and make a sound then the question is what to make of that?
For instance do all matches burn? How can we know if we don’t try them all out?
So in strict abstract sense we can be sure that our model is true, as long as all trees make a sound as we see them falling, but there is a chance that a tree falls, and we won’t hear it make a sound.
