But think about it, that spark of excitement when you
discover something new? Gone. Scientists wouldn't be
exploring the unknown, because there wouldn't be an
unknown. And those surprises, good and bad, that make
life interesting? Poof. No more.
Maybe you wouldn't feel the need to try so hard,
because you'd already know if you'd succeed. Why
bother pushing yourself if you know the exact result?
And all those big questions about fate and free will?
They'd be answered, or maybe they wouldn't matter
anymore.
Hope, as we know it, would disappear. You wouldn't
need to hope for a good outcome, because you'd already
know. And your emotions? Maybe they'd be less intense,
less up and down, because there'd be fewer surprises.
Time might feel different, too. Would each moment be
more precious, or less, if you knew exactly what was
coming next? In such a world, where's the room for
curiosity, for flexibility, for empathy, or for imagination?
And faith? It would become a thing of the past.
Okay, so now forget the world of absolute certainty
for a second. Instead, imagine a world where
spontaneous success is the norm. Not just a lucky break
here and there, but a consistent, almost predictable
stream of unexpected wins.
