Resistance to Enlightenment

Ideologies constructed from the intent of supporting people's well-being are in general a noble doctrine on paper until it is handed over to people and its leadership to implement it. The problem in most cases doesn't lie with the manifesto but with the people! A whole mass of resentful, angry, and destructive focused mob (mixed with people who truly deserve justice and more in number) will make radical moves on what they consider the opposite side and terrorize a whole country under a tyrant's leadership! Before this original doctrine could have its test run, build regulations to adhere to the well-being of everyone, the transition is rapid and the result is devastating as with the case of Russia, China, Germany, Cambodia and so on. Demonizing the opposite side is a common practice even today. When your inclination for a particular side gets cemented, you start mingling with people who support it, you start watching news channels that demonize the other side and glorif...

How Brilliant Idea Blossoms

You read, learn and brew different ideas and when that is an ongoing process, initially you are not sure how to construct your new ideas into well-articulated or well-constructed concepts. Maybe they are just half-assed and not ready to shine in a debate. Most times it's like things you read, grasped, and brewed all have faded and you don't even remember them anymore sharply. What I come to realize is, it's not faded from your memory. It's sitting there comfortably and waiting for something else to ignite a spark (from whatever source) so it can catch fire and become wild. It's all sitting there...maybe a new article you are reading..maybe a particular chapter from the current book you are reading..maybe an unusual conversation with someone... Something's gonna create a wildfire out of it. It's sitting there...waiting for its moment...keep exploring so it finds its source quickly.

Whichever part of the spectrum you fall, for your arguments about your reality to be sharp, you become the seeker of objective truth however deep it cuts through. You will get a better understanding of the world when people from different part of the spectrum produces their cases sharp that's backed with reason. Arguments without reason are just noises and half-assed exaggerations which have their place but need to be ignored when you are seeking the ultimate solution. For one's intuition to work for him/her the facts and learnings about reality should be objective. When graphs are produced by optimists about our ignorance towards the fact that the world has improved on several fronts like literacy rate, poverty, lifetime expectancy, etc., the question I am left with is...at what cost? A person who's both worried about human welfare and environmental hazards at the same time doesn't make much sense... because the current dynamics we have created simply translates...

Self Inflicted Slavery

There are two categories of people. One is amongst the confused, not knowing where they belong, but feel certain inclinations which some say good, and some say bad. The ones that fall into the next category are the ones who create a sense of belonging to the first category, justifying their inclination and world views based on reason or superficial voodoo..either way, the first category people resonate with those justification arguments and feel empowered to identify themselves with a community (slave to their doctrine and dogmas). This is the story of every other community you have heard of or the ones you proclaim affinity to. Whether you believe in god or not, you have a side you can join to fight the ones that go against your beliefs.
