On finding similarity and dissimilarity among objects and people and organizations in nature in the social sciences: What is really something you know, or something foreign for you?

Similarity is the trend for much art today. You should find an object, a pattern, a structure or whatever that fit your taste and your personality about what we are looking for.

When we are seeing the famous football players today, and seeing who is actually the best football player under 21 years in Europe, we are thinking about Erling Braut Haaland. Coming from Norway, and being professional in Germany, and making many goals, and many of the goals are made in the same pattern, and hence we find similarity betwwn the goals. But what is really similarity?

We define similarity in relation to the shape of objects, if we find the same pattern as we have done before, or power and powerlessness are the same logic of scientific discovery in every organization and in every structure at home. Similarity is bounded to our way to structure our inner minds with regards to what we are seeing and experiencing! If something fits our framework or our thoughts we think it is similar with experienced events in the past. If we can use Mathematics and mirror the figures in familiar patterns, when we have a case of similarity. And if something has the same color and the same shape, we also claim that something is similar to what we have or have not, but in relation to where we have been, and to what we have seen! And dissimilarity is simple not similarity, and therefore we can define the objects, the persons, and the organizations in the same known manners, or they are unknown and not similar! When something is old, there is higher probability that it is similar, and when it is new, it can be similar or dissimilar!

So, some people have the same building or the same face, and we claim them to be similar. But if we are comparing people with white skin with people with black skin, we find much dissimilarity between the races, and probably we find both similarity and dissimilarity within a race.

Similarity or dissimilarity are concepts that frame our understanding of many things and persons and organizations that we have met and are still meeting. We put our ideas and thoughts about what we see into our minds, and we make an interpretation regarding if we have met or seen these things before, or there is a recognition about what is just different in the experiences we have seen up to now, and we can perceive both known and unknown objects, persons and organizations. Is the pattern the same as before, or is it different? What about the structure? Can the structure be explained in logical ways regarding to what we know?

So, objects have the same or the different shape in relation to each other. And all is depending on our knowledges. If we see something unknown and new, we should explain how and why and what this implies. Everything in reality are put into boxes in the human brain, and we are making interpretations about objects, persons, patterns and organizations. And what we see is either logical and ok or illogical and stupid. But try instead to open your mind, and recognize that we have learned new things the whole life. When you open more doors, and what we are meaning today, is not necessarily what we meant yesterday, or what we are meaning tomorrow. Try to look many years back in time to compare, and many years forward in future to make these comparisons! Welcome to 2020, and the thinking time on our planet!
