Minimalism, tinkering and non linear systems
“Less is more”. Why gaining more information does not necessarily mean that the decision outcome will be good or efficient.
Bhutan trip and some philosophy
Recently went for a trip to Bhutan and it was good.
First cigarette
Had my first cigarette yesterday.
well not technically the first, but first in the sense as I bought it alone and smoked. was the experience worth it. Either good or bad, it was an experience, but I didn’t liked it personally. Speaking as an econ, the option has a greater opportunity cost because I could have taken coffee (caffeine) for stimulation rather than having Nicotine. Coolness that comes from smoking cigarettes is not a rational motive. So what did I decide? That I personally don’t like smoking, but in some certain Social Setting I will not refrain myself. And I don’t consider it bad. Nothing is bad when done consciously. Can’t be sure if it was due to cigarette or due to the factor that I smoked a cigarette publicly alone and it made an psychological effect of masculinity. But I felt more active and focused.
AI and art

Humanity's greatest asset
What makes us different from other species is our ability to think, creatively and collectively.
That is a power. Thinking and to be able to reflect is a kind of power that help us navigate our own ways. But If comes with very great responsibilities. Life Formed millions of years ago in this planet, and is evolving ever since, As we have the power to think and act consciously, we have a responsibility. We are responsible to think deeply of what we are and what we should do, because we know that able to our conscious decisions we affect not only ourselves but everything and everyone around us, connected with each other in a very complex manner. My point is we must all ask ourselves everytime the two big questions, the existential one of “who we are?”. why we are here? and so on, and the moral of “what should we do?” and “How we should act?”
On building an egalitarian society
What I am going to write down now, may sound radical. Some people will find it interesting & some will be repelled by it.
Tip to declutter mind
First you have to discover by yourself what really your mind contains.
A thought experiment
What If our lifespan was limited to certain hours or days. would the existential questions still exist?
Natural selection and society
The idea of natural selection and survival of the Fittest isn’t just a biological phenomenon. It applies to every aspect of life. Society also evolves on this principle. The moral values which are beneficial in some way for the society gets add up and those values that harm Society are left behind. Thus morality is a result of constant iterations and updation of an addition of new values and removal of old ones.
Doing good in unconditional
Do you need fear of good to act good? Do you need bait of heaven and infinite pleasure to act good on earth? What is the condition to act good. I think the reason just this is we give the tempt kids by giving them toffees & chocolates to make them do something.
Your duty
If you see something bad & unjust happening, Don’t wait for other to take actions first! You have to stand out & involve others. What is the point of your education if you can’t even prevent bad? Practice your speech and your way of speaking, daily. Become more persuasive & logical in your speech.
“When we look at the world rationally, the world looks rationally back”. - Friedrich Hegel.
On food
Food must not be looked as a source of pleasure. It is dead plants and animals on your plate when you have to consume in order to survive. food is necessary for survival, but being gluttonous is not good. जीने के लिए खाओ, खाने के लिए नहीं जीयो। (Eat to live, don’t live to eat)
Who am I?
Are we this body, or are we mind? Or, are we both mind and body?
A depressing dream
Had a very depressing dream today. It taught me something.
“I came out of my examination hall and was asking everyone for getting their passport photo so I can add it to my journal. Well nobody had a second for me. They just left. At the end I was all alone along the river shore”. At the end you will be left alone… This is your fate - You respect others, help others, but they don’t give a shit. Don’t let this make yourself bad. At the end you are left with yourself. When you are in a dream it feels so real, every word seems so philosophical. I remembered that very supernatural voice of my dream that told me, but after I woke up I just forgot what it was. I am forcing my brain but still can’t recall. “Life’s meaning is butter”. (I know it sounds funny ) That is what I heard, when I was standing upon the bridge. A beggar proprietor came near me and then I thought what is the difference between me and him. He is financially poor and I am Socially poor. All my life I tried to collect what I could and at the end left alone. At the end I am left with nothing.
Attachment and impermanence
There is bad everywhere out there. But, don’t let it demotivate you. Don’t let it demoralise you. Attachments. Attachment to anything is bad. either objects or humans. it’s bad. You are going to regret when you will face the truth. Attachments and expectation to someone leads to regret. Know yourself. experience yourself. everything is temporary. Only you will remain till the end of your life.
Becoming disciplined
Every moment you live, there are two roads to choose from.
Live your philosophy
To know, is not knowledge. application of your what you KNOW is true test of your knowledge.
