First things first: I am not giving gyaan, but I want you to receive it, as I said earlier—‘to teach’ is in our genes (I got this Idea from a good friend), I also say, don’t budge to speak if you think you have verified information.
People [1] always have got something to say, you have [...]
Hunches are fantastic things; you can continuously fiddle with them without changing the reality–Really? Are you forgetting that you have a personal reality? What happens to that?
Hunches are volatile version of intuitions, which I believe are thought to be less potent than they are. I over-pride myself for embodying these intuitions that are always bang-on. [...]
“But isn’t that dependent?”
“Yes, but what about the rivers and oceans?”
“What about them?”
“They all have a way about them”
“True”
“So, I say, lung cancer might not necessarily be cured”
“But still can be cured on days without being dependent on truth, isn’t it?”
“You can put it that way”
“So truth still remains true?”
“Doesn’t have to be exquisitely tight [...]
How do you know that truth won’t bring you down? Have you seen it? What is ultimate truth, which we always pretend to know or want to know? Is it going to get you the elixir? So far, most of the close-to-truth things that surround us don’t seem to be stimulating the neurons in a [...]
The what-if scenarios in the head are the major hindrances in my (I guess for others too) head. Giving reality a chance is less than a responsibility that my brain assumes. Even though the results are never as close in reality, the what-if-results are wrong almost all the times, yet, our heads choose that one-time [...]
Imagine a hypothetical country, which is as developed in science and technology as any modern world country is. A peculiarity about it is that it is that people have extraordinary sense of humor. The humor won’t be funny anymore, it gets obnoxious after sometime because it comes in the way of very basic communication.
PC-person (peculiar [...]
I guess we should just try to do something about something that is happening with us, or just get-on with something that we are doing. A quote that I had read somewhere–”One should do what one likes, or, One should like what he does”. There are few things in an average human life which are [...]
We always want better, better is very rarely in comparison to one has had, it is usually peers- with whom we compare. So i said somewhere that brightness doesn’t come from peers, but it seems it is intrinsic at a certain level, ie the choices that we have to make involve constant comparisons, evaluations, how [...]
If its all in the mind, mind demands few things to keep itself in peace, but that demand is our choice, so can we just limit our desires, just train them in some manner and be contended: Satisfaction is just one of the factors which contributes to the abstract concept happiness. So basically, if we [...]
I had copied this poem long time back while reading something on a forum, i think it was overcomingbias, want to share it with you, i hope the author doesn’t mind it.
Little Johny thought he was very bright,
But the schoolkids did not — they would laugh when he came in sight.
He could count, sing, [...]
I had read this longtime back, i revisit this topic too often because i am now home in terms of finding what i want to do.
To find it is one thing, doing it is another, not that we lack abilities to perform or do the thing, as the essay also points out, there are too [...]
Subjective, perspective, dependent, relative etc, etcetra.
True, different things work for different people, But truth works differently for different people? Incorrect, grossly at that. If you’re probably tired of convincing your girlfriend, sister, brother etc, about something, after some while(few years or months) you would give up the idea of doing that. Because you know that [...]
If you come across something like :
The participants recorded a one minute television commercial, … then watched … themselves, having been given guidance on non-verbal cues that can reveal how extraverted or introverted a person is. … They were then asked to rate their own personality. … The participants’ extroversion scores on the implicit test [...]
I used to believe in this theory that other people know me better, than myself, but the notion felt oxymoronic, cause i believed that nobody really knows what iam thinking(really), so how can they know about me. They will know more, if i am more honest to them, isnt it? Even when we strive for [...]
Language has always had its limitations. I lost the plot!! but i never thought of buying one. There is that element of variety and overwhelmingness associated with languages , but sometimes it seems that the reverence for everything that is “huge” and has got lot of history attached to it has nothing to do with [...]
“Do well” seems to be kind of a “world theme”. Nobody atleast “wants” to make mistakes, still everybody knows that we cant learn but by making mistakes. Is there any school of thought which allows and teaches one to make mistakes? Its hightime that we get one into our circles.
Why not? No mistake is completely [...]
