I’m in California or Mexico right now (probably), so for a few weeks, this is a collection of all my favourite questions I’ve thought of in the last year and bit since I started this blog. You have the answers to everything you want to know (about the world or about yourself) inside of you, all it takes is to ask yourself the right question. And…
The days of thinking of time as a river—evenly flowing, always advancing—are over. Time perception, just like vision, is a construction of the brain and is shockingly easy to manipulate experimentally. – David Eagleman Your perception of time does not rely on mathematical markers such as days, minutes, hours etc. It relies on your perception. And specifically of your perception…
Time is that by virtue of which everything becomes nothingness in our hands and loses all real value. Just because my dog Chunky gets excited when I come home doesn’t mean that he remembers me. Our view of nature is skewed in a way that if it must act in similar ways for us, or else render itself not useful.…
Sidenote: Try to answer this question without mentioning any mathematical temporal intervals to measure duration, like ‘Years/weeks/minutes/seconds etc…’ What is time? (Okay, go…)
There’s one thing, just one, that is impossible to ever know about. One thing that no one can ever experience and tell us about, for us to know, for a fact, what it’s like. And yep, that is pretty much my favourite topic to talk about, (just behind this): death. We think death is a terrible event. At least for…
Think about the last 5 minutes. What did you do? How do those five minutes feel now? Now think back to a period of your life that lasted years. School. Or an extended stay overseas. Or some time living in a place with someone (or multiple people). Or your multi-year stint at some job you didn’t like. What’s the difference…
Here’s The philosophy of Lucy part 1 and part 2 –—– We are all connected in some way. Every single living organism. And every single thing before the first living organism. You are connected to all of those. In some way. On a minute scale maybe. But still in a way. By the data that made you, and the data that makes you.…
What do you consider ‘success’? The way that it’s treated by seemingly the majority of the world is: money, fame, recognition, financial assets or some bullshit ass cocktail of the above. But no matter how substantial your bullshit ass cocktail is, do you live a longer life than those without the cocktail like yours? No –so you know, eternal life…
Throughout the ages, wisdom hasn’t changed. We were the exact same species one hundred, five hundred, two thousand and 5 thousand years ago. We still all live and we die (for now). Whether our inability to process and accept wisdom is the reason for the wisdom never evolving is another thing, but the medium or who said or says it…
So time travel (backwards) is a toughie… and one of the reasons is this… But you are always time travelling. Into the future. Just now, your past 3 seconds ago is gone. Forever. And ditto your past 3 seconds ago now. So you’ve got two options: 1) You can pine for the old days and believe everything and everyone and everywhere used…
