Mystery
Why is a piece of music a masterpiece while a lot of them simply aren't? Is it due to an inherent attribute that the piece has like a universal beauty or is it an attribute that we people give to that? What does Beethoven's music have that makes it a masterpiece? Harmony? Novelty? What is beauty? Is it all relative and relational or there is a set frame for beauty out somewhere? If it is us who give a piece of art beauty not the piece itself, then the piece wouldn't be a masterpiece by itself. What is in a face that we say it is beautiful?

Determinism
Do you have control over these factors?
- Who your parents are (ethnicity, education, wealth, social class and so on)
- Where you are from (Continent, country, city, suburbs and neighborhood and so on)
- Which school you go to (primary school and guidance school)
- Your name, first and last
- Your relatives
- The era you live in (old, modern, post-modern and so on)
- Your gender and appearance
- Genetics
Extractionism
Behaviorists believe in stimulus response and conditioning. Cognitivists believe in the cognitive capability of mind in learning. Constructivists believe in the creation of acts in the relationship between the person and the society around him. Extractionism contends that learning is the result of removing the layers of blockage from our brains which have the knowledge of the world as its default. So any kind of learning happens inside this complete brain. The role of external factors is that of fertilizer.
Immortality of knowledge
Knowledge never dies. It is transferred from the mind of a person to the air when he dies. The others then absorb it and it becomes part of their mind. So knowledge is collective. No one person can claim the creation of some knowledge all together by himself. This belongs to all the people before him.
Aura
People have auras around them which they are usually unaware of. When you do an action it is the totality of you and the halo which act together. What is in that halo? big question.
Theory
I think the next century will be the century of the explorations of the mysteries of human eye.
