By The Curious Fool
“Wow, a whole month has passed…”
And I was thinking — thinking about the thinking itself.
The Fool asked the Curious One,
“How do people think?”
A great question indeed. Has it ever happened to you — you’re deep in thought about a problem, get distracted for a moment, and suddenly realise… the answer was obvious all along?
I’ve had those moments — the sheer foolish brilliance of my thoughts often makes me laugh.
The Way We See the World
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight —
to whoever, wherever, and however you are.
Today, I’ve been thinking about how we see, feel, and perceive the world — and how two people looking at the same thing might live in completely different realities.
The Famous Blender Question
Imagine you’re shrunk to the size of a coin and tossed into a blender. It turns on in one minute. What do you do?
The Fool answers first:
“I’ll just lie flat and wait till it malfunctions.”
A clever answer indeed!
But if you’re even a little curious, you’d ask — why stop at one answer? Let’s peek into other minds:
#The Athlete:
“I’d climb the blender walls — use every crack to escape!”
#The Biologist:
“With a brain that tiny, we might not even think the next thought!”
#The Physicist / Marvel Fan:
“I’d jump out like Ant-Man and save the world!”
Each one sees the same problem differently — and that’s thinking.
From the Mind of The Curious Fool...
"A Foolish Experiment in Perspective"
If you’re curious (and I know you are), try this little thought experiment yourself, and share your experience down below in the comment section
Now, at this very moment in time and space — while you’re reading this wonderfully foolish article written by an even more handsome fool — I want you to try something unusual.
Look at yourself.
Not through a mirror.
Not through a selfie camera.
But from the third-person perspective.
To make it easier, imagine this
-- A bird flying gently above your head...
-- Your cat is sitting on the corner of your bed...
-- Or maybe (if you’re feeling brave) that closet ghost quietly peeking from the cupboard...
Can you see yourself now?
Perfect. That’s Part One — seeing you from outside you.
Part Two – Through Someone Else’s Eyes
Now let’s level it up.
Remember something specific that happened today — maybe you were talking to someone, running to catch a train, playing football or chess, or even just scrolling endlessly through your phone.
Now pick one person who was there in that moment — a friend, a stranger, anyone — and see yourself from their point of view.
Don’t overthink what they were thinking.
Just imagine what the world looked like to them as they looked at you.
What do you notice? How do you look? How do you sound?
Maybe you’ll realise how differently others might see the same moment that felt so ordinary to you.
If you’ve done this sincerely, you might be feeling something shifting — a strange lightness in your mind, or that gentle click when a new thought forms.
That’s your brain stretching its perspective.
Part Three – Through Nobody’s Eyes, as Somebody Else
So far, you’ve seen yourself through nobody’s eyes, then through somebody’s eyes.
Now, you’re going to look at nobody through the eyes of somebody.
For clarity — pick a historical or fictional person.
Don’t worry, I won’t give examples this time
Imagine seeing the world as they would — the colours, the sounds, the thoughts, the emotions.
Walk through your own world using their mind.
What do you see now?
Something strange?
Something true?
Something you’ve never thought of before?
And with that, we — The Curious Fool — end this little exercise with a simple reminder:
“Don’t overthink it... But think it through.”
