Classification

Classification seems to be a very interesting topic now that I have read the articles. Isn't it so normal of us to not question the authority anymore? We just seem to give the benefit of the doubt to the system that we live in. Sometimes I wonder if the rules that we have in this system were written out to function a robot it would simply not work at all.
From the day we are born we are brought into this web of language and then the rest is history. Language seems to have an enormous influence upon us interms of the way our brain works. Different languages generate different kinds of thoughts. So to be able to classify something we have to be in some kind of a system that validates it. Language is that system. It is really interesting how when people were just discovering the world there was a possiblity of existence of anything. And in some weird way there still is. But we give the benefit of the doubt to the system.
It might have been difficult for the early discoverers to convince the massess of foreign elements but today that has been made very much easy due to the advancement of the technology and we pretty much seem to believe everything we see on TV as long as it's shown in a format that we see as being authoritative.

Interesting world we live in!
