Random train of thoughts Dec 05 2021

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 to - For one to thrive the other should decline/diminish.

Ok..so this equilibrium that we are striving for with accessibility to knowledge for everyone in the world (one great example is the penetration of internet availability even in a remote village in India) should create a new breed of enlightened beings that will collectively work to bring the balance between human vs environment scenario?

Should we look at individual betterment or the betterment of the species in question?

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...

Strength of my beliefs

Do not harden your beliefs each time you listen or read to something that's against yours. The harder your belief system transforms, the more away you get drifted from the truth. Hold on to your beliefs, have them challenged and be open to criticisms and ideas contrary to your beliefs. That's how you make your beliefs stronger, however paradoxical it may sound. And do not become instrumental in others hardening their beliefs that resonate with yours or otherwise. The more knowledgeable one becomes, the closer one gets to the reality of how farther away one is from the knowledge itself.
