How has your world view evolved to what it is now?
And where do you think it will go?

My world view has dramatically changed. I feel that the world as I see it is only real to me, and that what I see is seen completely different to someone else. The color I percieve as yellow could be the color I percieve as brown to someone else.Originally posted by Entropia

Interesting reading Fz. But never presume that the present does not become 'old hat'. It always does. Change is inevitable. I hope you allow yourself the freedom to change again, if the reason ever forces you to do so.Originally posted by FZ+
I started off in china, and atheist probably out of blind faith. The education system was pretty much geared that way, though some members of my family were buddhist, I think...
I moved to the UK, and got converted to christianity. Didn't have much choice in that either, as the local support society for foreign immigrants was run by the church, and I got sent to a catholic-psychotically-christian primary school.
Then I did a Religious Studies project on Buddhism in comparison to Christianity, and found that I prefer the ideas of buddhism to christianity. But I persisted in believing in a mad hybrid of christianity and buddhism for a while. Kinda pray now and then, and worry about my karma.
Then I realized that there wasn't any real way to justify my belief in God any more, and that stuff seemed less mysterious and divine than they were before. Some niggling doubts about certain pieces of religious dogma emerged, so I switched to freethinking-agnostic/atheist.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Hence the word "history". Still what about you? Judge not lest thee be judged thyself...Interesting reading Fz. But never presume that the present does not become 'old hat'. It always does.

Just a working-class city-boy from the north of England. My mother was protestant; my father catholic. Neither of them cared about religion or philosophy, but I was sent to protestant-schools (where religion wasn't drummed into me), and had to do my own thinking about things. I remember questioning Christian-concepts at a very early age, and pondering philosophical-questions about universal-origins, etc.. When I say "very early age", I'm talking about being 5/6+.Originally posted by FZ+

My world view has evolved through a combination of personal experiences, education, and exposure to different perspectives and cultures. As I have grown and learned more about the world, I have constantly reevaluated and refined my beliefs and values.
Some of the main factors that have influenced my world view include my upbringing, societal norms and expectations, education, religion, and exposure to different cultures and ideas. Additionally, personal experiences and critical thinking have played a significant role in shaping my perspective.
As a scientist, science has had a profound impact on my world view. Through the scientific method, I have learned to question everything and seek evidence and logical explanations. This has allowed me to approach issues and ideas with a more objective and analytical mindset.
Yes, there have been several major events and discoveries that have significantly impacted my world view. For example, learning about the effects of climate change and witnessing the impact it has on the environment has made me more conscious of my actions and the importance of taking care of the planet.
I believe that it is essential to be open-minded and continuously seek new knowledge and perspectives to continue evolving my world view. This can include reading and learning about different cultures, engaging in meaningful discussions with others, and staying updated on current events and scientific advancements.
