Theory Of Ignorance

Yesterday while listening to chinese new year songs on the radio, I came out with another great theory.

“If enough people believe that it is not chinese new year, it won’t be chinese new year even if the calendar says so.”

Say for example, nobody in Singapore plays chinese new year songs everywhere, no decorations are put up and everyone tells you it is not chinese new year, you will come to accept the fact that it is not chinese new year even as the calendar says so.

Another obvious example would be, if tomorrow every single one of your friends and family members greets you “Happy Birthday!!” when they meet you, you will start to question and believe that tomorrow is in fact your birthday.

Maybe I should write a thesis paper on “How communications affect perception.” Then again, my other theory “The nearer you are to your destination, the higher the possibility of you being late” is also a very good topic to explore.

OMG, I’m such a genius. HAHAHAHA
