Super rich. I have no intention to become one, I am too lazy for that as a philosophy student. Yet I am fascinated by the concept of these super rich billionaires as it comes often in my twitter feed. It's unavoidable. Just a few decades into the past we even did not hear the word 100 billion worth individuals. It was extremely difficult to accumulate such wealth in the past as the global free economy was not well established until the Internet became a sensation. Unless you are willing to risk your life conquering cities and robbing wealth it is impossible. Nowadays we are connected globally conceptually by the world wide Web. The contribution from each individual from this vast network is going to make billionaires overnight. For that matter, consider simple math. If all the eight billion people on earth contributed one dollar to a poor person, he would be among the richest people on the planet overnight. The problem is how to make people donate one dollar? Super rich This raises the question: What do modern billionaires sell? Can we do that by selling electric cars? Consumer products? How about a futuristic phone? Or a social media network? An addicting game? A super power pill? I saw a lady who vanished after making her super rich by selling crypto, which means stealing from people. But let's get facts straight. What do these billionaires sell?  What do billionaires sell? I can give you an idea. Let's look at some billionaires, obviously the ones who are known to everyone come from the land of dreams. Let's go down the order, Elon musk claims he sells electric cars. But I say otherwise. I say Elon sells a brand of "futuristic cars" that everyone is willing to and dream of buying, an idea. Some say his cyber truck looks like a brick. But I can still see proud owners on the road. It's the Tesla brand which sells. And investors want to put their money in. Similarly, his space X doesn't sell anything significant. Yet it has miraculously accumulated funds, billions of them. Just to be burnt on the space. And it seems absurd, and this proves what he sells is not a product. But an idea of a "multiplanetary consciousness". Remarkably people respond as we all are inclined to believe in something in our lives. One or the other. Even a kid's dream would be enough if it is iced enough for the monkey mind to believe.  So let's look at some more examples. Let's look at Steve Jobs . His apple company does not sell the iPhone 16. An essential smart device which gets updated with the newest technology each year. So there would be no end to the number of iPhone as it's just an idea. Facebook sells nothing, but still accumulated a billion dollars worth as globally everyone uses it. Maybe they just get a small contribution from the amount of time you spend by paying for data. Can you see? You are just paying your one dollar indirectly by paying for your Internet service provider.  Selling Ideas Capitalizing on an idea  At this point you may think what do Magical mindful living know about being a billionaire as it is about mindfulness and philosophy . I would agree. Maybe I am day dreaming. Maybe it's just an idea. Can I sell it?. But look at Mr Warren buffet tells about being rich. And that was the whole starting point for this article. Once in an interview Mr Buffet said it is easier than ever today to become wealthy. You can just "capitalize on an idea". And this is exactly how these brands work in today's global market. It's not about the product anymore. It's about the brand and the belief of humans about the brand that matters. And you can sell anything once people believe in your brand. Maybe a prototype of a space X rocket would add a nice atmosphere into your living room. How about crypto currency? So my suggestion is if you are hoping to become an entrepreneur or a CEO, to put more focus on philosophy as it might harbour ways to be successful than any other subject.

100% delutions I have been greedy, I confess. I have been trying to achive 100% in my life. Like majority of our urban population, and by doing so have exhausted myself, as I have lost the objective of life. I am not saying ambitious about future is bad. But still the argument holds true. 50% is a damn good number in the game of numbers. Sometimes way beyond we think. Consider the following. Growth 1% rule of progressie growth. There is a rule which says, if you are 1% better than yesterday at the end of the year you will be 32% better than last year. Imagine this goes on for few years. And you will be flying high anyway without significant drainage or exhaustion. It doesn't matter what field you are in but this is a good rule to follow to show us that small things matter in life, but the magic word is "incrementation" or as Steve Jobbs puts it, "iterations" over time. Now consider 50% as a number, and that would be a far better number. 50% is not a failiure when we consider in this context. In fact in lot of competitive exams 50% considered as a pass mark. Which means you are doing just fine. 50% is 100% in life I am writing this article as I remembered a joke someone said a long time ago. It is about how 50% is applicable to life, but other than the sense of humor it harbours some important philosophy for life. The Joke is as follows. A guy says that he is in love with some girl. And he is sure this is going to work. His friend asked well, give it a number. And he goes, we are at 50%. Well that is damn good number when we consider Love. But his friend goes. That of course is my 50% She is still at 0%. It is only recently I wrote about What is a true Friendship . Above logic is also applicable to any kind of human interaction. Frendship, relationship, love. Often we cannot control the other party. But if you focus in your 50% basically it means giving your 100% into something indirectly. If the relationship, love or friendship fails the tests of time, it is not due to your fault then. You can be still satisfied and carry a positive memory as you have done everything you can. Farmer doing 50% But the logic of this 50% interactions doesn't end there. What about a human animal interaction. I have seen a guy who reared a pitbull. He has given his 50% fully commited to his loving dog. But at some point neighbours found out that he was killed by the same dog. Imagine he survived. Should be he angry and shoot the dog? I am not sure. The bottom line is no matter what you do, what you can achieve in life is 50%. Rest of the 50% comes from so called "outer world". To end up in a good number at the end of the day, we just have to focus on our 50%. Consider yourself a farmer. You prepare the land, cut down the bushes, plough the field during the drought. And at this point your 50% is done. And it is nature to follow and complete your action. Essential rain will come, and if it doesn't you are the last person on earth to be blamed. But I have seen people worring over the 50% more often, even myself as we often forget the logic of life when we are too much focussed on writing stories. Even if you do not agree 50% is 100% in our interactions with the world, I can mathematically argued that 51% winning chance is a good bet in life to take. If you would like to read that article it is here. Let's be greatful to magical number 50 today.

Fish nets I am sure you have seen some fishing. Maybe in the habit of doing it for some relaxation. There is some excitement watching someone catch a fish, maybe because of its inherent unpredictability. However this article is not at all about fishing. Yet I would talk about it a little bit more as otherwise it would be boring.  Fish net There are many ways to catch fish, from using a fishing rod, to use gigantic nets, bottom crawlers and dynamite. There are plenty of YouTube videos about fishing as well. Which again ranges from how to make a pretty amazing fly to using a harpoon. I can remember we just used our hands to catch fish in fields and streams. Plenty of time spent doing just that, and we collected these tiny fish into a bottle. Sometimes just to release them back, or take them home.  But commercial fishing is often done using nets. The fish we catch in these nets, depend on the size of the eyes of these nets. Generally small fish nets have small eyes, and ships use larger nets with big eyes. I have seen fishermen mending their nets when the sea is too rough for them to go on fishing. The idea is not to catch smaller fish, so the baby fish can survive to keep their population growth without disturbing biodiversity. And this is why nets are better than bottom crawling or using dynamite where everything moves tends to get killed. More fish nets What can you catch with a fish net? Now I have given enough background on fishing, we can talk about some philosophy. I am fascinated with the concept of nets. It has a great meaning. Imagine you want to catch something which moves. Maybe it's a fish, a butterfly or a mosquito. Maybe a moving car or a dropping parachuter or an airplane. A net is a good idea. What else is moving and difficult to catch? I would say thoughts! And information. Just like fish, they appear and disappear often faster than we need, unless we have a good net we would not be able to hold onto them. And this has great implications. Often modern methods of textbook reading and studying subjects have utilised this idea of creating a net before actual fish catching. And we call it skimming, pre studying etc.  Fish net philosophy and mindfulness Is this the only way we can think about a net? Maybe not. Once I was told by a professor when we study we need to make a good scaffolding. And to retain something better it is essential we understand core concepts which serve the purpose of a net. And this is true for any learning. Starting from kindergarten. First few years after birth we have been building our scaffolding. With sounds words colors pictures. And without this basic net we would never be able to catch any fish. As the eyes of the net becomes smaller and smaller, we are more capable of catching smaller and smaller fish. Eventually knowledge of atomic and subatomic particles. But during this process of fishing for new knowledge and concepts, we forget that it is all due to the first net that we built. It is interesting as when I look at the first few nets in life I understand that these are just imagination. Such as our number systems , English alphabet, time etc. Are totally imaginary in basic form. In Fact it is amazing how these things are created in the first place as it feels impossible and magical. This idea is captured into a world famous children's book by dr Suess “ The cat in the Ha t” Not fish nets I like to challenge myself as if there is something called a true net at all. Is there some truth in anything I have been told all these years, from my parents, teachers and countless mentors? Maybe it is wrong to think like this, to challenge a formal education and religion. But I think it is important for anyone who Is willing to understand themselves before death happens, to question the origins of all human problems. Is it this unfortunate process of weaving nets from day 1 on earth, creating all the happiness and sadness you experience today? At Least that is a good fish net to weave before choosing to be mindful tomorrow.

Loyalty, Honesty and support. These are considered as pillars of a true friendship. Loyalty is essential as it means you are not betraying a friend even in the absence of him or her. Honesty Is being truthful and transparent in your actions all the time. And support when a friend is in need. These are universal features of a true friendship, and if we question anyone "What is a true friendship means to you?" You will get answers related to these. But these are not the only features which define a true friendship. There are less commonly known, but these set of features can harbour more meaning and value to a true friendship. Friendships Persistance over time. Imagine you have a friend, true loyal, honest and supporting one. And this friend is suportive and true loyat for a month. In the next month, he is not, act strange. Even chose to laugh at you from a distance. We cannot consider this person a true friend anymore. As he has failed to persist those qualities over time. This has major consequence. Which means, a true friendship can only be known as the time goes on. If you have friends in the past, you may have noticed some of them failed to persist over time. Persistance over geography. How about you travelling abroad. Changing your residence and moving to the city. What happens to your friends. Most of the friendships would not last, and fail to carry on with your life. Geography has a marked implications about our life as we are locked in different time zones by geography even family relationships will fail if we change our place on earth. This is inevitable. But a true friendship would not break. Today with starlinked internet, it is easier than ever. So, place is another test to those loyal, trustworthy friends. Persistance over silence. Above two aspects can be summarised as persistance over silence. In life we take different routes. This is essential unavoidable part of life. When this happens, often frendships have no means to persist, and will be tested by time and place differences. Sometimes years can separate two friends and it can be considered as a period of silence. Sometimes they might not have spoken in years! yet when they get together, the honesty loyalty and willingness to support remains the same. In other words the door of the heart would remain open, even if they do not meet each other. And this gives a different meaning to a friendship. Someone who wishes good for you What is A true friendship? Someone would not agree. They would think that frendship means remaining close, tolerating everything and helping all the time. They would even fail to understand a silent friendship. Imagine someone living in isolation in a mountain cave by choice. Although separated by human contact, he is honest, loyal and willing to help any being which comes into his relatively isolated life. I consider this person a true friend to mine. Although I have never met him. Often we encounter these individuals, heavenly creatures in unexpected places in life. Have you? When I think about this phenomenon of friendship in mindfulness I realise, it is not an interaction between two people. That is why a true friendship can survive a period of silence. It is a quality of the mind. Infact the other person does not matter at all. If you are honest loyal and willing to help anyone you are a true friend to all human beings. I wonder this is the easy ticket to heaven. What do you think about true friendships?

I would avoid discussions no matter what. Trust me I am that introverted . Yet I know they are important, hence unavoidable in life. Sometimes I would join in silence, just to observe others doing it. Often it seems discussions are a waste of time. Bunch of people, get together. They can quickly make it less productive and sometimes even absurd. Why discussions are important? But discussions are important. Otherwise, I do not have to write this article. It can boost your confidence in areas you are good at and give an opportunity to see your weaknesses. Make you correct yourself and check yourself with others, in a collective decision making lessening your responsibility. And it can give an opportunity for you to observe some egoic idiots who likes to speak about things that they even do not know and entertain yourself. My advice is to stay silent when it happens, unless someone dies if you do not speak. If latter is the case, you might carry a guilt, which is not even your burden. Discussions Who doesn't need discussions and who needs them? There are some people who doesn't need discussions. I have seen a few. A few of those dark eyed, flying high, crooked beaklike nose and intelligent kind. And I am not sure there is a scale to measure IQ of those kind, they are just too far away from population norm in the edges of the fat tails of a biological curve. They just make scenarios in their minds. Because their minds are multi-dimensional. They can make imaginary groups, like you and me do in our dreams, filled with imaginary people. And have a discussion entirely being silent on their couch. How do I know this? Because I have spoken with few of those. And exactly they would tell you to get a A+ in their last semester, that's how they studied. But for regular people like you and me, we need discussions. As our imaginary power is not that great in making hypothesis to what others think. Humans are not multidimensional by nature whether you liked it or not. Consider my blog. Majority of what I write came from past experience. Yet significant proportion comes out from discussions. Like twitter thread triggered me to write about Donal Trump and the Games we play. Discussion is a good way to brainstorm easily, as it provides a natural way of diversified ideas. Like I have mentioned earlier, every consciousness is unique in their own way, so the randomness would be maximum in a discussion. Values In discussion, we share our thoughts. There are many other ways to share these thoughts, like writing them down, in a book or a blog. It would not create immediate reaction like when you are faced to face with someone talking. But I consider even a blog comment a mini discussion. And mind you these are valuable. Even if you do not know, this is why google and social media rank posts accordingly higher if people chose to comment. More discussion more value. Why? Human thoughts are valuable. And only "relatively true" value there is. If you trace values of anything you will see its rooted in someone's mind as a thought at some time. This is a magical fact I had to dig out with mindfulness. So, if discussions share thoughts, underneath we do trade our values. We can consider this as a mini market where; I share my valuable thoughts with a group that is willing to share their values with me. We might or might not come into a conclusion which are the most valuable thoughts, but essentially this is what happens in basic form. I really wonder how we would do if it wasn't for discussions. After all, if our parents did not choose to talk with us, we would be just like cannibals, who took a Wrong Turn 2003

Trees are the miracles which teach us about life. I have seen seeds harboring life. They are just a potential waiting to be bloomed. If the soil is moist and the temperature is optimal, a seed will shoot a root and a stem from which early leaves develop. It looks like a miracle. I wonder why at all. These molecules which grows into a form of a tree could just stay as it is from its basic form. But just like a wave of the sea, they move in seasons. What about animals. Aren't animals a potential too? Tree. Life: Is a potential, to be good or bad Equally, like a coin Randomly tossed I've long lost the faith of forever saints and demons As I have seen enough shit Circulating YouTube So I Believe neither, rather watch the game all night Till they kill each other Like in a court case. Rowing boats in the cold Through the mist, I see the Gregory Lake. In the middle of the mountain valley, it has attracted thousands of souls, in search of happiness. I see them riding boats, in the cold afternoon, shaking all over. But they seem happy. I see boats, hundreds of them, occasionally someone drives so fast overtaking them. It seems they are happier than those slow movers. It brings me back to my memory 15 years ago, when I rowed a boat, on the same lake. I did not have much money in my pocket those days. And it felt hard to paddle against the water, especially when those big boats made it so difficult to our tiny swan boat to stay on its course. It was a struggle. Just like the struggle of poor, uneducated tiny people day after day. Yet here now, with my pockets full of dollars, I am too lazy to ride a motorboat. What is the point? I wouldn't consider this a depression. Grumpy it may be Like Mr. Grinch. Not because I was refused by the society, but because I can compare the life on my right hand, with no life on my left hand. And I see the madness the creator was in when he did this stupid mistake of creating life. Rowing boats. Mark Konig- unsplash A question for the creator Why life is a bad Potential? If I met him today, I ask him why? I ask him why created me, when I could not avert my own death. Why create a boring life, where I have to ride a boat to be happy. Why should I have to ride a boat faster than anyone else to be happier. Why should I have to fill my pockets with dollars to fuel my car to drive on the road, making trips, to show my eyes new and beautiful things. I did not ask for these eyes' ears or taste buds. Now I have them and the burden of satisfying urges they create day and night. If life is a potential, it seems to be a bad potential. Then I thought to myself. Maybe the creator did not make that mistake. If he is at all, all mighty and powerful to bring about life, he must be not cruel. Maybe I have been a fooled by my own mind creating absurd reality day after day. Maybe a Gregory Lake never existed. Neither any riders of boats. Maybe there is no me to observe these, it's all just a potential which can exist as well as non-exist at the same time. That I just have to choose to non-exist. But how? I wish I could slow down the time and see the half a second called now, to see what happens in my mind. Even if it means to dissolve the soul, it could be the happiest thing I can do. So, I chose to be mindful.

Poll on "What is the greatest human invention?" For a start I asked the question, in twitter. Although I have dead followers mostly, 8 of the active ones responded by the time of writing. And all were in favour of language. I can assume even if the number went upto 80 this would still represent the same result. So, I would keep the poll alive as the first comment to the article so you can contribute. The four answers directly came from google AI. As it seem these were the most common answers people have given in other forums. Let's consider each carefully and first considering my own answer which is "The Pen and Paper". Language. Language: https://unsplash.com/@hannahwrightdesigner Language lets us communicate, and abstract our perceptions. This has a great advantage, as it helps to keep our memory of things, understand complex things by combining words together. Some animals use sounds to communicate but not as complex as even a fundemental human language. From the answers in the poll, some considered language not to be an invention. It is unlikely a lanuage was created by a single person, like English for that matter. But there are examples. The smallest language in the world Toki Pona is made by Sonja Lang. Which has thousands of fans around the world today. I consider this a miracle. On the other hand I like to imagine what would happen if the language was not there. We would still be able to percieve things, but not be able to communicate? or will be hard. And it would take ages to develop a complex concept. How about eleminating the past and present from a language for a change? If you want to be happy I suggest you just do that, just like Piraha tribe, who owns the happiest language on the earth. But language lacks an important ability. Which is to persist across time. So, even if you are able to communicate something your friend, his memory is notoriously subjective and unreliable, and by the time he goes home it is likely he has forgotton at least some of the meterial. And that is where the Printing Press comes in. What is the greatest human invention is it the Printing Press? Printing Press: https://unsplash.com/@marco_djallo First when I thought about the greatest human invention, I was thinking about the pen and paper. The reason behind this is the pen and paper has the ability to capture and presereve human thoughts over time. True human values are created in human consciousness, as I have argued this countless times here in this blog. And unless these thoughts are captured, they will lose their values when the memory goes away. How many thoughts you can remember from the last year? Handful right? But think about the guy has a diary, or an everything book . He would be having a tressure trove of human values in one year. Legends are not created in battlefields, but in the hands of a writer, on pen and paper. So, the invention of pen and paper, and the printing press has hastened the growth and distribution of human values more than previous era. And this is why printing press should be most valuable human creation. And this gives why internet is not. Internet. Internet came late, and although it has the ability to reach the millions, its just extension of pen and paper. Fundementally I don't see anything "newer" than pen and paper it just captures human consciousness and do faster maths. In that matter AI, which appears to create new values , maybe a challanger to human consciousness, but still need the human judegments to date, to build human values over its creation. And also, I do see, internet is dependent on very advanced technology, which is liable to fail, just like a tall tower like Buraj Kalifa, when compared to Pentagon, is unstable for many reasons. You may have different views about this. Internet: https://unsplash.com/@yapics What about the wheel? What about the wheel? Is it the most valuable invention of human kind? I highly doubt this. Certainly wheel have potential. But in a ragged terrain without roads, and trained horses to pull a cart, wheels are useless. There are lot of friction for a wheel, which cannot be overcome. Wheel for that matter is not a standalone invention. I really do not know, why we can consider wheel as an invention, just like language for some. Wheels doesn't serve a purpose without a cart. But let's say we are talking about carts and horse carriages for that matter. Still I would say, money and economics, and stock markets played a role more than wheels in exapanding human values. Because every wheel rolls on money. There are some other candidates. I wonder your answer to the question, "What is the greatest human invention?" is in these.

The battle of Midway and purple cypher- a bit of history Six months after the Perl harbor attack during WW2 Japan plotted another attack. This time in Midway, another tactical US naval base. As Japanese navy could not wipe out US aricraft carriers during the Perl Harbor attack as they were out in the open pacific Ocean. So, the Japanese commondar Isoroku Yamamoto was assigned the task of destroying US strongholds in pacific, by luring the remaining US fleet to defend the Midway. He had planned a small attack at Midway just to attract and defend, driving a larger force behind. Yet unknown to Japanese Imperial army, US intelligence has had already cracked their secret code and knew all their attack plans prior. And the result was devastating for Japanese army as they were faced by unexpected counterattack by US aricrafts, which were airbone before they even had their last meal before the battle. As you can see, crypted messages played a huge role in favour of US during the battle of Midway. Battlefield : https://unsplash.com/@emilyschultz Philosophy of language Japanese had been using a sophisticated cyper which is called "Purple Cypher" during the WW2. Even if you get these messages they would not convey any meaning unless you know how to read the code. Just like listening to a foreign language which you cannot decode yet because you do not have the purple cypher in your brain. Imagine you are watching some documentary in Japanese and you do do not know the language. It would make no sense as it is just another crypted message for you. The question is why? Why it would not make no sense is because it has no meaning. A language does not have a meaning by default. It is just a collection of sounds. The meaning for a language is given by your mind. This can be considered fundemental philosophy of a language. When you hear the word "T r e e" japanese mind would not give any meaning. It is just a sound. But for someone who learned english, It captures a big concept. Even the past, and the futur e are represented by our language. Infact language is made to represent human feelings, and in an attempt to replicate them in another mind. Some would say this is the greatest human invention. I doubt that As I know about something better which is pen and paper. Yesterday when I was driving I touched my ear. And this maybe about few weeks since I was aware of my own ear. I wanted to give it some thought, and thought "Why do we have two ears?". What do you think? If it wasn't for ears we would not have a language, atleast not in the current form of it. There would be no music, and news would be a slient film. If we do not have ears essentially the world would be a silent place. Imagine a slient world. Humans might not have survived enough to feed themselves out of the jungle if it wasn't for ears. So, if anything has helped for the origins of languae I would say its our ears, the ability to recognise sounds. But here is another thought. If there would be no sound without ears, I wonder there are actual sounds in the world. Are there sounds in the world? Sounds: https://unsplash.com/@sigmund I would say no. There are no sounds in the world stand alone, only moving "molecules". If sounds cannot exist without the ears, ears should be part of the sound. But we separate this from the sounds for some reason. What about language? Language cannot exist without a consciousness, so it also doesn't exist stand alone. The problem is we can do this to everything we know. Nothing would exist without your awareness, relative to you. Hence your so called relative world is your own reality. The world and you cannot be two different things. I know at this time I am far beyond "The philosopy of Language and Mideway battle" But as you can see, it is essential to understand and have a clear idea about the world and who we are to enjoy the film called life fully. There is a point I was trying to tell you. And when I look back I find out that I do not even to have word this out. Consider the following quote from Thich Nat Hanh one of the greatest mindfulness teachers of our time. "Enlightenment is when the wave realise it is the sea" There is a real question this knowlege gives me. How can we make sense of the world using a language which apperently has no meaning by itself? I can see I canot go anywhere with this if it is my approach to solve problems of life by words.

Alexander 234568187 So what do you observe about life? From here I can see. Many people I meet in my life. Some are lazy, some are hard working. Some are grumpy Some are smiling all the time. Some are anxious Some are silent. It seems everyone is different. Is it good? Of course it is. How boring it is to be Alexander 234568187. If population is A clone of all the Alexander's there would be no Newtons and Einsteins. And life would be so boring. But there is a problem.  Alexander 234568187 : https://unsplash.com/@nikos_vlachos If you are Alexander 234568187 what is applied to Alexander 1 would be applicable to you too. But it's not. You are just Tom, Tim or Timmothy. Even markedly different from your parents and siblings. There is a little bit of everything in you. Even footprints from the first mitochondria that your ancestors engulfed. We can say what is applicable to your parents or siblings or even your race, is not applicable to you. So, there is no magical formula for a happy, successful life. There cannot be a universal imprint, or universal rules. It is wise to look for our purpose in life individually and alone once in a while as you only know about yourself. I am not sure what it is. It may be a passion to make paper planes, to photograph beautiful girls, or collect chicken eggs in a farm.  Why you should follow your passion? fixing cow hooves - Jeff Bezoes and monkeys For a fact life seems to be a little too short to learn everything and do everything. And apparently everything seems to be valueless. The races we created among ourselves are only artificial, so I suggest we stick to what we are good at and what we can enjoy. Even if it doesn't make a pile of money it will do good to your mental health and your soul.  Just the other day I was watching a youtube video of shaving cow hooves. The channel was run by a young man who called himself a hoof doctor. There was something entertaining about treating a cow with a limp. I was waiting impatiently until he cleaned the hoof to see all the abscess drained and treated. I couldn't stop watching hoof after hoof. And not only me, his hoof videos had millions of views. Why?  It seems the guy was fascinated and passionate about what he is doing. I am sure he enjoys it even without posting them online. I am sure there are hundreds of hoof doctors out there. But never thought their boring job can accumulate an audience like this guy did.  Hoof mushrooms: https://unsplash.com/@haberdoedas Hoof doctor is only one example. I am sure you wouldn't believe anything I say unless it's backed up by a billion dollars. How about Jeff bezoes. You would trust him right. And as a successful entrepreneur now in his prime once he only had a garage for his store and an online platform. But according to the billionaire himself he was passionate about what he was doing. And he had quit his job, and in his own words "you need to make a call, when you find out what you are passionate about." He has exactly done this and proven it is worth even when we consider dollars. Once I saw a cartoon, a classroom in a jungle. And the teacher, who is a wise owl, asks all the students to climb a tree. And monkeys do it in seconds. Bird flew to the top and was the second. But the elephant, the ostrich and the fish were hopeless. I can only compare this to our classroom. Not everyone is good at math. But more importantly, those who are good at math may not be passionate about it. It's useless trying to be a monkey when you are a fish. And unnecessary to drown trying swimming when you are a bird.  It doesn't serve you well, nor the society.  So as I have emphasised enough to follow your passion. I will stop here. If you want to know the formula for success we suggest you read what Albert Einstein followed. Maybe answers to your next question will be there.

I am not joking. We do need professors to teach in kindergarten. Why? Because I believe the best stuff should be fed to children early in their lives. So, they would become better at what they are good at from early life. I am not saying current teachers do a bad job in training kids. By all means, it maybe not in kindergarten, maybe in pre-school. but I am sure you get my point when I give the extreme option. I can show you few reasons behind this claim. After all I am not trying to lie here or consider this as a joke for that matter. I do joke and more than 90% of the stuff presented here in this blog can be considered what I believe to be true. And that is a far better number than any other shit you are going to read or hear today. But let's get back to our kindergarten class once again. This time to understand what went wrong. Kindergarten https://unsplash.com/@freetimejam Story of a professor. I heard this marvelous story about a professor who was asked to do a lecture on some topic of concern. He was given two weeks and organizer asked whether he could do it in time. And he said, "it depends". Obviously, the organizer asked, "depends on what?" Professor said, how much time I get? Organizer said, twenty minutes. Professor said. Well then, I can do it. You know if it is a one hour lecture I could do it even now. But if its twenty minutes two weeks is just enough for me to prepare. And if it is just five minutes you give me on stage I would need one month at least. This little story gives me two important messages. You cannot measure the value of a task just by amount of time you perform on stage. It often seems unfair when we see someone singing a song for three minutes and get lifetime of free rides singing. Yet we forget the amount of effort the artist had used to be that person who sings perfect, for three minutes. Consider articles in this blog. It takes someone only three minutes average to read one. But the amount of effort I have put in this is enormous. Not only the four hours I spend writing and editing. Effort of Combined human consciousness starting from the ancestors who built the language is massive. Other important fact is, sometimes it is hard to simplify things, and its paradoxical. If you think teaching a kindergarten kid is a mediocre job, no wonder we fill our society with mediocre people. Instead, we need a professor to prepare his lifetime of wisdom into its simplest form. Selecting only essential items and taught to kids. So, they can build upon later, faster and stronger, like a strong base for a higher skyscraper. Why limit knowledge to University When it matters most to everyone: https://unsplash.com/@wangxin96 Professor in kindergarten I can remember once I watched an interview with Richard Feynman. And he said there are no special people on the world. Only passionate ones who likes to put effort into building or learning something. How wonderful idea is that. According to him the best way to learn something is to simplify it until you are able to teach it to a five-year-old kid? And he had shown this practically by summarizing entire physics into four basic forces . And as you can see teaching kids is not a mediocre task at all. Only professors would know how daunting task that is. Adults have a vast base of information accumulated over the years hence new material will make sense. But kids do not have these extra connections. Yet it is not an impossible task to teach a kid even complex material like motor mechanic or chemistry. When I say professors need to get involved in kindergarten does not literally mean they should start teaching. They can get involved in making the teaching material. Maybe they already do, which I am not aware of. And it doesn't have to be someone labelled professor either. Someone extremely knowledgeable about some subject (a domain expert) can be considered a professor in the field. Maybe they have more to contribute to kids learning. This process of learning complex ideas happens all the time in kindergarten. Often naturally. Like language, through imaginary play etc. I wonder what will happen if we really try and introduce more core concepts of other languages than English. How about color theory ? Concepts of programming ? Little bit of fundamental philosophy about values of life? I only wish I learned them earlier what I have learned last year, writing this blog. And I think it is never late. After all, if we want our kids to be experts in their field's future, we must teach them how to become professors.

Did the school walk at night? It is a school holiday. My little daughter is having a wonderful time. And she likes to make stories. And I wonder where that gene comes 🤔 from. She says, while she is enjoying her vacation, the school went on a trip by himself. Apparently it is a four day trip to the turtle beach . As kids are no longer there the school can enjoy a day out.  What about the other days? I asked. The school is a lazy guy. He doesn't do anything during the day. Just stay quite and still. But at night, it's time to go wild. Maybe it goes to a party, writes a book or go to the park. How wonderful. Only if she stays up at night will she see. But she is not. Everyone sleeps at night! So nobody knows. Platform 9 3/4 : https://unsplash.com/@dialex Platform 9 3/4 It seems kids have got imaginary powers. When was the last time you thought about something like that? You might say nah.. I stopped being a kid ages ago. I don't believe in dreams or magical stuff anymore. I highly doubt that. It's one thing not to believe in walking schools and hidden train stations on platform 9 3/4 to Hogwarts. But I say yet you believe in stock markets, banks, foreign conspiracies and 9 1/2 weeks 1989 erotica. How about love ? Just the other day I showed love is the most abused word in the English dictionary. But let's get back to the question. How can we prove to the poor kid that the school hasn't gone on a vacation? Imagine the same thing is said about her friend. Imagine your six year old daughter comes to you and says her friend has gone on a vacation,  four days to Malaysia, with her parents. Even without checking the facts we would assume this to be true. As it is likely and very good chance of being true. Unless of course she really wanted to fool you. But the truth is until you check the facts you would not know. Maybe they missed the flight. Maybe it was last summer that they went to Malaysia. Maybe it was a trip to Madagascar. The fact is you do not know. You are blind to the truth. Even in courts, you cannot give a hearsay answer. But when we compare this to the school my mind goes blank. Obviously school cannot move. And it cannot go on trips. But I am sure I have seen talking clocks and teapots in Disney cartoons just yesterday. I wonder what really happens to the school at night. I really do not know. If I forget the learned fact that schools are non living things, taught in the grade 2 science class, there is a chance school going on a trip to be a nice answer to the question "What happened to the school at night". Among many other answers like, it's being demolished and rebuilt in an exact second. How about that? Madagascar : https://unsplash.com/@jacques_dillies Descartes and Dreams Can't you see where I am going with this. Can you see why the curiosity of a kid can harbour more meaning than all the adults talking in a pub on Saturday night? Even Descartes found out that he could not entirely be sure that someone did rebuild the entire world yet again once you are asleep. I'm telling you again! Kid's got a point. I am sure she will lose all curiosity about what the school does at night, once she is too busy trying to figure out angular momentum in grade 10. That is a sad truth about life. Instead I invite you to be curious about what happens to the world when you sleep.  To me in sleep the world and me does not exist. And this simple fact leaves me thousands of unanswered questions. Does this mean 🤔 that the enlightenment that I seek is some kind of an eternal sleep? If non-existence is just a coma? But if someone were to harm this body while I was sleeping it would still hurt yet I can see just like I do not know about the school at night I do not know about myself during sleep. Easy answer is not to think . Just chase a dream or play the dumb man's game. I would do that happily if I knew what there is when the sausage party is over. Maybe I have trust issues with nature that I do not trust it anymore as I have seen enough cruelty in the formation of humans on earth. Whoever did that was cruel, to make something out of nothingness is the most cruel deed I can do, if I was given the power of creation. It's like giving a life to a pinocchio, or in our case to my daughters school. Now at this point if you are bored with an intellectual hike, and waiting for a final message I would make you disappointed once again. I have just made crossroads. That is what I do, as your mind is capable of choosing its own path given enough information. It will know what to do, like an AI. Just read again if things are not clear as always answers depend on the question you ask. So in conclusion I can say I am not capable of completely denying my little girl's idea of walking to school. Should I tell the truth to her that 'I do not know'? Or just lie to her that 'schools do not walk?' And let her figure out that I lied to her when she becomes 42?

What is faster than the speed of light? If there is anything faster than the speed of light, I would say it is the conscioussness of one self. I am not talking about ant or a beatle consciousness but human. Obviously scale matters in universe. Human consciousness is very fast, and in a matter of fraction of a second you can reach the farthest planet on the edge of the known universe. You can call it imaginary, but nonetheless, I can ask you what is real? So far I could not find anything other than imaginary things, in my consciousness, hence, that is a false claim. Imagination is as real as everything we imagine, and likely the only thing which is real. "I thing therefore I am" - Rene Descartes . The Sun: https://unsplash.com/@nasa But how about actual consciousness bound by miles, in the universe? What is the true expansion of human consciousness when we consider the cosmic scales. The Mars project proves us again and again, that human consciousness is still at the doorstep when we consider even the solar system. Only few hundred travelled to the space and even few, to the moon. Mars is just a dream still. At the rate of blowing up rockets, I even doubt that might happen or not. Since when an Amarican dream became obsessed with Mars? when we individually posess the fastest rocket on the planet by default fixed in the brain, I might consider this excessive. Prisoners of mind. Sometimes I weep silently in the mind when I realise I can only dream. I can only dream I would travel to mars. What about saturn? What about Jupiter. I can only dream I would travel great lakes of America, Honalulu Island, or Bora bora. If I expand the google earth now, I can see wonderful places where I must travel before I turn 60. Yet I can only dream its physically impossible to cover everything in a lifetime. I am sure If I sell my car today I might cover up ten places, but then I know, I will be still a prisoner of mind. I have not stepped out an inch from my brain. It is simply impossible. I carry my own little man to the edge of the universe, but my consciousness cannot be free from the burden, it carry. I can only dream of enlightenment, but its imaginary. I am just a part of the universal agenda, with a false idea of independence. I laugh in my sleep on imaginary boundries I created at the edge of my land. When true fact exist I havent stepped outside my six foot prison. I refuse to be narrow minded and see a value in it, try preserve it as long as I can, when I know even values are created in mind. Cosmic Consciousness Apple Store: https://unsplash.com/@kemingt As you can see, these are two different opposing Ideas. When we look at it positively we can say human consciousness is fastet and most valueable thing on the universe. But on the other hand we can see the restrictions, like a prisoner, it tries to escape from its own constrains to become enlighted, liberated and free. And not knowing how to, it does various things. From feeding itself to travelling to Mars. If anything, I would dissect myself, not the universe to understand the nature of things. No point digging up another Oil well in a desert to fuel a tank to generate power to break through the space. I would sit in a one place by the edge of the lagoon watching a sunset and drifting clouds . Turning away from the society. In society where, teachers teach, bricklayers lay bricks, Politicians lie, and Lawyers argue, How boring it is to break into a shop and loot for an apple phone in Florida? How boring it is to wrench a nut in an assembly line in China? How boring to climb a 40 foot tree to reach for a beehive, to steal some honey in Congo? I would not do that, not today. Consider myself lazy, but I would rather learn to eat grass, as I know nothing would satisfy myself. If the Greed is the guide for my unnecessary exsitance, I would starve this with boaringness of life, by just observing it. What would you do? next year? Tomorrow ? Today? Now?
