Why is it insane to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result?

Question

It's ended up giving me different results, but what the heck do I know? I'm not the one with the degree, I'm just living the adventure.

Answer 1

well i am the same person for each relationship and i always receive the same results just different circumstances...

Answer 2

Einstein coined the phrase ''conducting the same experiment and expecting different results is insanity'' so if you think your getting different results then there is something in the preceding action your not taking into account if it's people that are part of the equation then I can understand the differences, human nature cannot be predictable like a set formula, use quantum physics, thats what drove Einstein insane the last years of his life.

Answer 3

There are factors which are not taken into consideration and there is also the position of perspective..

It's like a magician, pulling a slight of hand trick. The coin disappears, but it's in plain view of the magician, tucked between his knuckles, but everyone else gasps, because it's gone.



So, we change perspective and see a different result.

Hidden factors cause a change which we can not explain according to what we know.



Working from the measured results may lead back to possible conditions that effect the outcome most.

Answer 4

A better question to pose might be something like why are the behaviors that are most common to man always considered "Insane." when in the end most people do them to one extreme or another?

Answer 5

Good question......I was just talking to someone about that yesterday..I need to start doing that and see if something actually comes of it....I'm one of those people that keeps hoping that something different will happen or that the other person will change and they never do. I'm working hard to change my ways...with hopefully a totally different outcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck to you!!!!!

Answer 6

It's not insane, but a question of balancing the possible against what is probable.

Answer 7

This is CONDITIONING response.

Take notice of the laboratory rats.

Answer 8

that only works in chemistry labs
