Hello Guys
If you throw a frog into a pot of boiling water, he will jump out. But if you place a frog into a pot of cold water and and turn the heat on low, it will float there quite placidly. As the water gradually heats up, the frog will sink into a tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in a hot tub, and before long, with a smile on its face, it will unresistingly allow itself to be boiled to death.
Now I'm not sure this really works with frogs, (I couldn't bring my self to find out), but I am certain that it works with people. I believe that we are all sitting in a big pot and the water is beginning to boil. Isn't it ?
I guess you may be able to agree but at some point a human will realize (an intellectual human). But what are you referring to, are you referring to an economical crisis or a government crisis? What are you trying to infer?
What is the point of the story? Is it a sort of metaphor?
Ya man, anyone with senses would realize the heat change and react to it.

not really, if you think about it. Your body would keep adjusting to the rising temperature. You'll keep adjusting and be comfortable. Eventually reaching it to the point where you die from the exposure.

Your body will adjust to an extent. That doesn't mean that it will go up 400+ degrees and you won't notice it. You will adjust to a limit but you will know that it has changed.

Yea, and adjusting takes a long time, any change that happens even moderately quickly [Increase is temperature over a few days], will be noticed.
