Why Theories Never Work In Reality
The Fundamental Error We All Make
You’ve all seen it before...
Or done it yourself.
There is the person who has a really important thing they need to say...
And their words seem strong...
When they are looking at themselves in the mirror.
They tweak what they are saying...
Trying to find the perfect words to express what is happening in their heart and soul.
They continue to tweak and tweak...
Until...
Perfection.
They know exactly what they are going to say, which will be perfectly translated to the receiver of this important message.
Then...
They go up to the person...
And it all goes wrong.
Maybe the words do not come out correctly.
Perhaps the receiver(s) of the words do not quite understand what is being said.
Maybe they understand perfectly, but then ask a question that was not prepared for.
What is the same in all of these scenarios is that there was a Theory...
Which did not work in Reality.
There have been some quotes that are similar...
No plan survives first contact with the enemy.
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.
All of these point to the same problem we see in life...
Theories fail in Reality.
The question is why, though?
Why do our theories and plans always seem to fail?
Perhaps not always to catastrophic levels...
But every single plan has some factor that did not go according to plan.
We even see this in every heist movie...
Where there has to be a quick in-the-moment adjustment made before the entire plan unravels!
But why?
It is really simple...
Theories...
No matter how masterful...
Will always fail to account for “every” single factor in reality.
There are so many tiny and minuscule factors that we could never feasibly be aware of that are always at play.
Even something as simple as what someone decided to eat the day before can have a dramatic impact on how they function the next day.
Some people have called this the Butterfly Effect.
As it goes...
If a butterfly flaps its wings on one side of the world...
It could be the final straw that causes a hurricane on the other side of the world.
Except...
In reality...
It is not one butterfly...
It is over...
100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms on planet earth...
All tiny metaphorical butterflies...
All vibrating, moving, and adjusting based on so many different factors that we are not even aware of...
Causing hurricanes in systems that we do not even know exist.
As powerful and amazing as our brains are...
And spectacular at pattern recognition when in good health...
There are simply far too many factors to ever take into account.
This is why Theories never work in Reality.
Are some individuals “better” at creating Theories that work “better” in Reality?
Absolutely.
Especially when those individuals are working in the areas of their strengths, and have taken the time to become Masters and Experts of those areas.
But even the best Masters and Experts in all industries...
Will find themselves stumped by an occurrence at one point or another...
At some point.
But here is what is important to understand...
Will our Theories go wrong?
Absolutely.
However...
That does not mean that we should not create Theories and plans.
The process of creating these Theories and plans is important for progress to be made...
For our Brains to develop recognition of different patterns...
And to update those models for the future.
Not to have perfect pattern recognition...
But to continually improve and gain a higher percentage of theories that end up being closer to reality...
With fewer adjustments that are required.
This, of course, is not a perfect system...
And we will have horrible failures along the way...
But if we can continue to improve our theories...
We will have more successes along the way.
