Our Nature Makes Us Who We Are: The Good and the Bad
Due to our nature, we theorise on many subjects according to what is to our left and right. You see, because of our fingers, mathematics has developed on the decimal order.
What do you think life would be like if we had three fingers instead of five?
I can't imagine. I think we would find a way to live with three fingers.
Maybe those who play the piano would have some difficulty.
And those who write with ten fingers would probably have some difficulty.
As I said, I can't weigh the pros and cons very well.

But I know one subject that would definitely change if we had three fingers.
Maths!
Numbers would not be in the order of ten as they are today, that's for sure.
Let's say there would still be maths in the same systematic. In other words, for a three-fingered humanity, the sixth system would probably be the basis.
Zero, one, two, three, four, five and six would be the second digit, as we now use it in mathematics.
Then six one, six two, six three, six four, six five, and I don't know about this, like twenty in the decimal system, another word would probably be used in the second turning in the six system. Anyway, six would probably be something else.
In short, it would be a completely different mathematical order.

I remember when I was at school, we learnt about maths in different systems.
They had very strange formulae. I don't remember them now, to be honest.
At least I know that computers work in binary system, ones and zeros. In English, on and off, on and off, on and off, energy and no energy, that's how computers work. No grey area, everything is very simple. There's energy, there's no energy! But billions of such circuits!
Although now they have made quantum computers, circuits that are on and off at the same time, quantum location.
It's a bit complicated, it's not the subject of this article, so I won't go into detail.

Yes, since human beings have ten fingers, they have somehow developed mathematics in the tens order.
This may have influenced the development of his memory in this direction.
How does our memory work?
Do we have memory cells that switch on and off like computers, or does the system work very differently?
As far as I know, scientists are still doing research on this subject.
They haven't solved our brain in a definite way yet.

You see, because of our fingers, mathematics has developed on the order of ten.
An apple fell on Newton's head and he established the rules of physics. Although he was wrong about some things, but he has been very useful to humanity.

What else can we count?
Our hands, our feet and what we see around us. Plants, animals, mountains, stones...
And then, of course, there are our fellow species, humans!
Throughout history, we humans have preferred to live together. I think nature has forced us to do so. Some events in nature are not of a kind that humans can cope with alone.
Naturally, we have developed many theories about our relations with each other.
Sociology!
The founder of sociology is known as Auguste Comte.
Sociology is not a science like the positive sciences, like mathematics (mathematics is not a science!).
Human relations are very complicated subjects. Experts have written many books, all of them thick books.
Indeed, it is endless to read.
But I can say that people are of two types, just like the way computers work.
The good and the bad!
Sociology works according to this order.
The strange thing is that everyone counts themselves in the good group. Everyone has an answer for what they do in their own way. However, whatever we do, someone is affected by it in a good or bad way.

I wish that one day we will solve the problems between us and live in peace as humanity.
