Jumping to Conclusions is Great Exercise! [View All]

[Philosoraptor]

I do it, you do it, even people in Peru do it, let's do it, let's jump to conclusions.

As with every breaking story news cycle, people jump to conclusions, its a fun mental exercise that does no harm, we aren't lawyers or judges, we're consumers of news and we will jump to conclusions.

Take any subject in the news, and conclusions will be jumped to, then a few days pass and things of course are not always as they are first reported.

Watching reactions on chat sites is a great way to witness this conclusion jumping phenomenon. Some of us turn out to be right, others wrong, it happens every time.

To this day people differ on the JFK murder, and have come to many different conclusions, some say it was solved, others say it never was.

But there are always those who think they know the answers before there's even been a charge filed against someone. All we can do is speculate about Osama, Jon Benet, nine eleven, and any number of other breaking news stories.

That's one of the things that makes us human, but many times it comes down to two people agreeing to not agree about a subject, or waiting till the jury is in.

Let's try, and I will too, not to come to conclusions so quickly.
