In life we all assume truth to be fixed. How can we achieve any target if the target keeps moving away from Us? Either we will arrive early or late, always. Yet from observations about the world, I haven't seen anything which is fixed, either in time, or in space. In human observable dimensions, everything seems to be moving . And it made me realise, truth also cannot be fixed relative to this moving dynamic frame of observation. Let's cut the crap and try to narrow it down so, we can use philosophy of dynamic truth in everyday. Searching for truth A paradigm shift. Let's do another thought experiment. This time, for the sake of it we will assume the truth is dynamic, always. Not once, not twice, but everytiime you observe something. What will happen when you use this framework. Let's discuss a day of Mr.Dynamic Truth. To illustrate the dynamic truth I will use brakets to show you the alternating story of him. Mr.Dynamic Truth. Mr Dynamic Truth woke up today morning. [Mr. Dynamic Truth did not wake up, infact he never slept as he could not define what is sleeping relative to wake up as he was not there to observe what happened during the sleep] He had his cup of tea, it was tasety. [He did not drink a cup of tea, but just dropped it into his mouth, but it just kept flowing down his oesophagus due to effects of gravity][His cup of tea was not tasty continously, the first slip of it was tastier, than the last slip. Infact he did not taste the last bit of it as it was too concentrated tea] The sun was up and he noticed sunlight at his feet. [Sun did not come up, the earth just rotated and moved around the sun, It wasn't sunlight at his feet. Just some massless photones which travelled through the vaccum of the space.] He sat down at his laptop to write about dynamic truth. [And thoroughly searched for himself, which he could not exactly point out where so he could not tell who was sitting and who was writing] Dynamic heaven Discussion. As you can see, the dynamic nature of the truth wasn't apperent until Mr. Truth started ask questions in a different framework. From a different angle. You might call it a red hat or a black hat. And the relative strength of the previous truth just shake a little bit when we look at it from a different angle. You may have experienced this in different areas in life. It maybe something you thought to be true in the past, which became false when you learned a little bit more. Consider this as Dunning Cruger effect on truth. When we start learning about a thing, first we assume as we have a full knowledge and we might even stop searching. But, only when we start to face real life problems, or learn deep enough that we understand our previous assumption is wrong. The fact is our conciousness is not capable of understanding every causation fast enough. As everything is changing so rapidly from moment to moment, the truth also moves. Consider heaven. By the time we reach there, how can we gurentee that it will remain same and the All might God, will not be old grandpa? I would rarther fix the fixlessness of the truth than trying to find it. And that single fact might make you smile when everyone else are crying in this relatively dynamic system called the "World and You".

Today I am going to write about leverage. I am sure many of you have come across this principle yet, you did not think about it through. Instead just glanced over it in a rush. Hence, likely you have never used it deliberately, but only subconsicously. This article is best for someone who start out life early. "If you give me long enough lever and a place to stand I will move the earth" -Archemides. It is true. If you doubt your strength above statement should stop that. As everyone on earth who can move their eyelids, can technically move the earth. If you are into physics you might find lot of false in above statement. It is practially impossible to make a lever that long, without any friction and move the earth with it. But the concept is true atleast on paper, atleast on imagination. The idea is if we give enough leverage to what we are doing, we should be able to do our tasks with minimal effort. Leverage How to use the principle of Leverage in your life? I have come across this principle in many places. In habit formation -> leverage can be used as a social commintment by telling your habit to others -> consider quit smoking. You can write down your habits. You can mentally visualise your habit. You may break down your habit to 2 minutes so, there is not much effort needed to fulfil the habit. You may say something like "After I go to bed I will turn off the phone" by connecting it to another habit. All these are ways to reduce the pain of doing the actual task. Financial Leverage. Imagine you are a CEO, and your task is to increase the value of the company for the sake of Shareholders. You may use the leverage. If you ask a professor how to do that, he would say, it is better to use some leverage by borrowing money. So over time their is a balanced risk which doubles the rate of growth of the company. But there is a risk if you start to lose the money, so it is little complicated when you using leverage by borrowing. But there are other ways to use leverage. You can hire people to do tasks which otherwise make you tire yourself. You can use technology, social media and coding to improve your reach. You can use your money to buy some assets to grow faster. (Remember Coding-People-Money when it comes to leverage) Infact, there are lot of ways to do everyday boring tasks by leverage. Someone might say it is the same thing, when SteveJobbs talked about iteration. Or working smart - not hard. Nowdays AI is a good way to leverage some tasks, which otherwise difficult. If you are using a car to travel, that I would say a form of leverage than using a bullock cart. However, make sure you do not become a lazy rabbit and fat at the end of the day. Using leverage For reference I have written some other ways how to use leverage in your life. These are just ideas which you may have to reserch and refine before using in your life. Using a todo list -> reduce the mental effort of forgetting and re remembering Using a journal -> helps easier to iterate over time and improve Visualising -> habituate the brain for situations (Ask Jet pilots if it helps) Scanning text before reading -> Makes a scaffolding of knowledge and prime the brain to study faster Working in a group or building one -> if you want to build a skyscraper , you cannot do it alone. Business -> is a system where leverage is use to generate wealth by levering money people and code. Leverage is not a straight forward. It is a dynamic thing. In each iteration of the task cycle leverage can be iterated too and improved. Ultimately it will become more and more easy. So, How are you going to plan leverage today?

This article is closely related to the previous one about Capitalism and pyramid scheme. However this is slightly different as I am discussingabout moral obligation of the wealthy. Definition of a Philanthropist I see lot of them nowadays. Someway or another these rich individuals at the end of there lives start doing more and more charity work to the society. They appear in social gatherings with significantly fat cheques to make them chief guest. Or prestigious among less fortunate commoners. If you earn in billions you and me can do that too. You can spend some millions to appear a philanthropist at the end of our lives. If you earn in trillions, you can do billions. But nobody asks the question what is the exact number where we can call someone a true philanthropist? As I see it modern philanthropist is an⁸other way for rich people to appear a God in front of poor who worked hard to make their friends more rich. So let's stop the dilemma by giving it a number. Rich From the previous article we learned that why rich becomes richer over time while poor becomes more poor. As rich will beat the inflation buying assets while for poor it would become more and more difficult as their buying power keeps getting lower over time. Which means anyone who accumulated significant wealth over years than others does it only because, other people (poor people who are unable to buy assets) do work for them. And lose their money to inflation. Every dollar which is above the average wealth of an individual came out of someone's pocket who lost it in the market. Rich gets rich not because they work hard, only because they have gained the ability to beat the inflation over long periods of time. Making it hard for others to do it. Can you see the problem? These are kind of people who label themselves as philanthropists at the end of their lives as they have nothing else to do with their pile of blood money. So they spend 5% from their total wealth for that name tag. Rest of the wealth they pass down their own decendents to keep on the legend. While it grows 20% each year. The fact is this is true for every investor enterprenuare and capitalist. True definition What is the true definition of a philanthropist? If we ask the same question is there a true philanthropist I would say it is only someone who is able to donate all, or 99% of their wealth back to the society can be labelled as a philanthropist. Others I would think as some cheap robbers who try to steal away the status, as money is not enough for them. It may look like I am angry against the rich when you read this. That is not true. Once we found out how the system works anyone can start doing their own experiment and try to be rich. There is nothing wrong in that. But as you can see we have moral obligations to the society as once majority of people who are rich now came from being poor. If we do not give it back. Society might decide enough is enough and come back to grab their own fair share one day over your dead body. And that will be a very sad ending. Its only very few decades we can cheat them by appearing throwing away few coins on the streets. Think twice Think twice So, if your dream is to become another Warren Buffet or Bill Gates think about it again. I would rarther not play the game. I would rarther be happy figuring out the absurdity of such an endeavour. I would rarther expose the biggest scam called capitalism where a few live out of the sweat and sorrow of the poor.

This article is a simple argument I had in mind for sometime about capitalism. You may have a different idea or a view. Comment on these and we can have a discussion. Capitalism Imagine there is a country called x. In this country the government prints out y amount of money each year to the total pool of money and it creates an inflation. If the population remained same and there is less demand for money reducing buying power of people. Let's say this inflation rate is 4%. Let's say some investor gets a return of 10% per year from entrepreneurship. Not just one but several years in a row for 20 years. What do you think is happening? City We can start examining the opposite case. Imagine your total wealth is 100k dollars and you invest it in a firm which returns 4% each year for 20 years. At the end of this period your buying power would be exactly the same (as your return was equal to inflation). You would be neither rich nor poor. At the end of this period you would be exactly same rich. Or financially same value. But if you consider the other smart guy who got 10% return for 20 years, he has beaten the inflation with a 6% margin. At the end of twenty years his initial 100k investment have significantly increased its value. But how did that happen? Why capitalism is a pyramid scheme? If the all the capital in the country is considered one pool, and anyone who beats the inflation over time must be accumulating more wealth than others. Infact this money he has at the end, comes out of pockets of everyone who wasn't able to beat the inflation rate of the country. Sounds familier right? Capitalism sounds like a pyramid scheme. Somehow over generations, the owners of assets grows bigger in wealth while commoners tend to get more and more poor. As they are unable to buy any assets with their depreciating wealth. And in simple few paragraphs I have explained how capitalism works. But unfortunately this is the best system humans have developed over the course of our history. Sale Why capitalism is best system for growth? If we work in a society where we are not rewarded for our hard and smart work by excess return over inflation, nobody would put an effort to work hard. Create new things, create businesses ships cars and push and fund scientific experiments. Its the capitalism which combined with human greed drives the society to these unimaginable growth in every field in modern world. It works better than communism. Where we might get lazy. I'm not sure integrating both will benefit more or not. Only we can see from future China. End of capitalism. As you can see a pyramid scheme is not sustainable in long term. Soon, over a few decades or centuries the countries will run out of money for the welfare of majority. Poor will be so poor and few wealthy people will engulf everyone else. Like Amazon, Apple and Tesla nowdays compared to kings of the ancient world. When the majority of a country becomes so poor, the power will shift naturally because poor will be more in numbers and they will topple the marriage between government and the rich entrepreneurs. Ultimately with a rebel and blood bath. Ew..  Unless we are able to find out a better system to harvest human greediness and redistribute wealth before each collapse. Riot If you looked back at human history. It's inevitable. Wars, will serve this purpose in general. At this moment in time I see no solution. I just play the game like you, trying to beat the inflation, once you understand the principle you will do the same. But let's get together to make a better system than this. Surely we are more intelligent species than this. Don't you think so?

Yesterday I was at a party. By the lagoon with my friends. While we were chatting about many things from cosmos to backyard worms I was struggling to eat a Crab. To be honest I was not used to eat them. Just the appearance of it on table, like a living creature now baked made me disgusting. Nauseated. Yet there was nothing else to eat. I could either try to eat crab meat or sleep hungry 🤔. For a good half an hour I thought about it whether I should go for it. And putting behind all my prejudices I went for it. Crabs Just like Bear Grills, decided to survive in the wild by choice. I went to work with the crusher and a knife. While others were chatting about how sweet the crab meat was, I was struggling to crush the exoskeleton of the Giant crustacean which sacrificed its life for the greed of humans. I had little sympathy. It wasn't a living crab on my plate but a dead one. And the skeleton was hard. I used all the force which I could gather from the lunch and 'crack, and crack' finally I could eat. Hmmmm. There was only a tiny amount of meat inside. Most of the crab was just hard shell. It's gigantic left hand and the chest had some 2-3 grams of meat. Yet my hands were full of juice. Almost spoiled my suite and I saw someone slip their crab on to the table and beyond! It was a total mess. I am sure that is how it is everywhere. Maybe I was naive to this crab eating party. I was smiling to myself inside my own introverted head, feeling like Robinson cruso, when he met barbarians for the first time. Like I have met my own barbarian which had been living unconsciously all these years. Somehow I managed to get enough calories from a bottle of Coca-Cola, which came to rescue me from hunger. Plenty of sugar and toxins for the day! Crab Hunter Comfort of money and freedom While on my way back, I was wondering what the life is all about. Life is like trying to eat crabs! You will try to attack with all your power and might, with best education, best resources, best effort. You might wanna be rich and well to do with full of crab meat in your hungry belly at the end of the day. But before that, there will be a few decades of struggle. Some even break themselves and give up. But if you are successful you will get a tiny bit of crab meat for the each of the shell you crack. You might get your soul dirty with dead crab juices. You may look like a barbarian to not only crabs but your wealthy friends who share wine with you. Who will laugh and enjoy and welcome you to their elite club of crab eaters. But the question is what comes after? Do we want to take that path? Maybe we are not seeking the comfort of money but the freedom for it. Freedom It doesn't make sense. Getting Rich or making money doesn't make sense. Unless I can stop getting hungry. Once a barbarian is not going to make you in the club. You might wanna be a barbarian for the rest of your life. Maybe we should seek freedom from it. Freedom from the burden of money and power. So we can enjoy watching a living crab more than trying to eat one. Maybe we should spend a night in dark listening to all the night owls and crickets, who struggle to keep their hungry bellies filled with each others meat. I wish some friend from my past comes out of nowhere to teach me how to achieve that freedom. Freedom from this struggle called life. Hope it is you.

I was driving through the mountains, 60 kmph today on my car weighing over half a ton. Which burned fuel approx. 15km per liter rate. Yet the speed was not regular as the bends were numerous. The air was humid with 24deg warm on Celsius scale. Ambient light did not do good for vision but provided enough that I did now want to turn on the headlights. The only noise added to the surrounding was by the engine of the car yet was not beyond few decibels. Even monkeys did not move, because they are so much used to that noise. Driving through misty mountains That was just an observation from today. You may have done it before. It's just a familiar scenario. I gave it as an example to illustrate the fact that how much we are used to these scales of measures in day-to-day life. At school as children, we spent major part of our lives learning these tools of measure. And I don't think there are many people who function without at least basic understanding of these scales. Hilariously just the other day I watched an episode of SNL where great George Washington introducing measuring scales to new Americans, at the verge of revolutionary war. How he made everything opposite of the normal, while the world chose metrics, Americans use arbitrary scales. Like measuring milk in pints and distances in miles. It gives me an opportunity to look back at our measuring scales. From the great George Washingtons point of view, as there is deep philosophy in it. Tools of measure in USA When a follower asked Mr. President why he is choosing miles over Meters he did not have any answer. He just laughed it off. Equally all other bizarre scales that Dream nation uses have no basis. But the problem is not it. If you look at all the other SI units, they also have arbitrary basis. Even meters, even kilograms even seconds. I have discussed time in detail in the book what is time. But let's look at a meter here. Meters The standard international unit of length, defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. Now, do not ask me why its 1/299 792 458. Not 1/300 000 000. It is arbitrary as it can be. No matter how much you try to rationalize numbers there will always be unexplainable depth to it. Another fact to notice is it depend on the speed of light. I would rather bet on a fixed number than speed of light. You might say it's constant. But there is a chance the speed of light is not constant. If everything changed according to the same scale overnight, we have no ability to know whether a meter has changed. Together with the speed of light. Imagine everything expands in the universe to same scale. Maybe a meter is double the length as yesterday! In reality, what I can see is nothing a constant . The constants that we see are just imaginary. I would say they are platonic. Just like a perfect circle. We can mathematically and imaginatively assume there are perfect circles and squares. But when we change our scale of measures to really small and really large all the squares either become ragged lines or unmeasurably small dots. These are just concepts. Science Do not get me wrong. I'm not saying there is no use of measuring. I use them daily just like you. That is not even the point. The real message is in matters of life and consciousness and meaning, we have to look beyond science. The answers are there not where the science is used to solve our problems. Answers will be there only when we recognize why science fails when it comes to questions about life. As science always assume something to be true to measure something against what is arbitrarily fixed. Let's not get onto an argument here. But a discussion so we can improve on science where it fails. And let's call it pseudoscience 😆 of philosophy

We are late for the school 100th time in a row. This time stupid socks that take ages to put on. And the shorts that always go the wrong side front. So, after overcoming all these troubles and looking at the clock ⏰️ it's always late. But hey? Isn't that funny? Where did the time go? Time did go somewhere, right? If it did not it should be here. But it is not here now. Now is not the time that came before. Now is a new time. But where is the old time? We started searching for our time. Looking for time Where did the time go? We looked everywhere. We looked under the bed. Under pillows. In the kitchen cabinet and the fruit basket. We even checked the old toy basket where Elsa and Ana were sleeping with their broken arms. But we couldn't find time. The precious time which was no longer there we couldn't find. Where did it go? Is it in the clock? Then, all of a sudden little Lilly white realized where it went! It must be hidden in the clock! After all that is where we read the time right. We figured out we were five minutes late just by looking at the clock. Everyone was amazed by Lilly whites' wisdom. We all stared at the clock. For a full minute. The hour hand did not move at all. The minute hand made a bare minimum move. But this second hand moved a full turn, just like that a whole minute passed and it again became past. But where did it go? We couldn't see it In the clock. It's a strange feeling to look at the clock which measures time, which we cannot see where its coming from. We cannot see where it goes to. Nobody has even ever seen this little bugger, the monster time. Yet here is the device apparently which measures time. Does it even measure time? Who can prove it measures time. We kept on looking. Naaah. It cannot be hidden in the clock. Inside out Is it outside? We looked outside in the grass. Behind the doors where we used to hide and seek. We checked the garden, and on the mango tree. We looked at the sky. Each moment we felt like the time is mocking us. It seemed going past us, but nobody could find where it went. Then again. Lily White came for the rescue. Maybe it is in our thoughts. Anyway, that is how we know it went past us right? Is it inside? We all sat on a couch and started looking at our thoughts. Somehow that felt true. Time seems to be trapped in our thoughts. Thoughts about past. Like in the thoughts of last weekend when we went to the turtle beach to meet turtles and coral fish. That wonderful Sunday morning is not here today. But we feel like it happened somehow. Its in our memory. Then again, Lilly white thought, thoughts about turtle beach are not actual thoughts which happened on the beach. These are just another set of thoughts happening now. Closely mimic those past thoughts. It seems somehow time is again invisible. Maybe we cannot find him, because he is not there. At least, we now know where it is hidden, so where to look for next time. But now, it's late. Assuming time is there, we are late for school. So we all rushed through the garden and the traffic, just before the final bell rang. Another morning gone. Mixed with the memories of the past, hidden in the attic of fairies. Just like that, in the movie "Inside out" of Riley's . Lilly White thought to herself. Lilly White Inside out Inside Out is a Pixar animated film that explores the emotions inside the mind of an 11-year-old girl named Riley. When Riley’s family moves to a new city, her emotions — Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust — struggle to help her cope with the big change. Joy and Sadness accidentally get lost inside Riley’s mind, leaving the other emotions in charge. As they journey back, Riley learns that it’s okay to feel sad sometimes, and that all emotions are important in helping her grow and adapt to life’s challenges.

I have written about games of life before . Many articles. Each one describing a slightly different viewpoint about life. Here yet again, I write on Games of life. This time about game theory and its application to ethics. You may need some background on mathematics and common sense to understand the following discussion. Let's Dive in. Game theory is the part of mathematics which describe how people make decisions when their decisions affect the outcomes for themselves and others, often in social contexts like business, politics etc. Commonly described in the way of prisoner's dilemma. Game Prisoner's Dilemma. The Prisoner’s Dilemma  is a famous example in game theory that shows why two people might not cooperate, even if it's in their best interest. Two prisoners are arrested and questioned separately. If both stay silent, they get light sentences. If one betrays the other, the betrayer goes free while the other gets a heavy sentence. If both betray, they both get moderate sentences. Even though staying silent benefits both, they often betray each other out of fear — showing how self-interest can lead to worse outcomes for everyone. So, if we are looking for the best outcome for all the members in a group, co-operation of everyone is essential. But if one guy decided to betray, he may benefit while all others suffer consequences. If the dilemma exists for two players, consider when there are thousands of players, like in fashion industry. Often there would be no mercy shown by others when there is a betrayal. Best outcome scenario by co-operation is called Social Optimum. Which is unstable. However there exist the stable status which is betrayal. When you chose to betray all the time, the outcome would not depend on what the other person choses. Hence it is stable. This status is called Nash Equilibrium. But consider this prisoners dilemma game is played again and again with same opponent, and if you continue to betray, others will know it and adjust their strategy, making it worse outcome for both. Hence in such a situation where repeated play occurs best strategy is called "Tit for Tat". You start forgiving, if the other prisoner started to co-operate in the last game and do a "Tit for tat" if he betrays in previous game. Being Nice all the time or being aggressor, all the time would not make you win in such long-term games. So, what does this teaches us about ethics? Race against survival - unsplash Game theory and ethics Consider you are a CEO of a company. If you think being nice all the time with your opponents or, even co-players would make you win, that is not true. At some point one of the competitors are going to get greedy and try to swallow you. And they may succeed if you continue to play the "Nice" game. So, you may choose "Tit for Tat" instead. Of course, now you know it is the winning strategy, there is no other choice. But if your opponent is inviably far dominant, co-operation might be the best way to survive. Hoping you might be stronger one day to fight back. Another way I look at the game is comparing the default betrayer, to the evil dictator, and the nice player to the God. As, God is unconditionally forgiving, this is a good comparison. So, in such a game, it is inevitable that if the "God" started to play with the "evil" he is going to lose anyway. So, for the betterment of the majority the "God" will have to use some dirty tactics of "Evil" to win the game and remain powerful. The God will have to use some Tit for Tat strategy. If God also have to use evil, how can we ever dream about a complete ethical world where everyone is happy winning? As long as there are two individuals in same environment we would be involved in this dirty game of fighting for resources. Balls of yarn A ball of yarn This is why when once Elon musk said "If you are wishing for world peace, be aware to be amazed by all the sacrifices we have to make to reach there". It might easily mean wiping out all the consciousness which do not desire peace but selfish existence. In other words, such a peace can only be achieved without war, only if magically all 8 billion people of the world suddenly understand this logic of game theory and chose to co-operate with everyone. Including just newborn babies. It makes me little sad, that we cannot achieve the better future for our children, but makes me alerted to look at my own life to understand how I got entangled in this ball of yarn in the first place.

I went to the moon Last night, In a newly built starship When I looked back from its surface towards the sky, I saw the earth The gigantic mesmerizing blue ball in the sky, with all of its clouds All of its Green and brown and All of its blue. I couldn't take my eyes off. Yes, it moved slowly Slower than a speed of a car, slower than the speed of a mobile phone Slower than a ship, a sheep or a bullet out of an AK47 I stared at it a half an hour and That was all I saw! Earth I didn't see my house, in a tiny corner of the street, I did not see the street either. Didn't see my Garden where the tiny bees flew over yellow Dandelions I didn't see my village or my parents' house, where they lived all their lives Neither I could see the church where they went to pray each and every day. I did not see my Neighbours, or the college where I went for thirteen years. The lake was not visible where I visited last summer on vacation, not with the boats I did not see my town, surrounded by the beautiful misty mountains. I did not see Old Mcdonalds farm or his pigs' hens or cows. I could not see the boundaries of our land, where the war was going on for decades I could not see the dust from grenades when they blast or the war cemeteries Where dead bodies were buried in Perfect rows. I did not see roads, backyards, five-star hotels by the beach or the big walls separated them from fishermen's huts. I saw no discrimination. As humanity was very small, microscopic compared to Earth. I was sure they were there, the happiness sadness, wealth and poverty, and the greed of humanity which drives them all If I had a microscope of a cosmic scale I would see the news on TV, of the death of a politician, who was shot dead by a commoner. Milkyway - Cosmic scale But last night, before I woke up today morning, I did not have discrimination, as I was on the moon, in my dream. I said to myself, maybe, maybe the Earth is still a better place, to be If we look at the big picture. Maybe, no need to travel anywhere else As long as we all are able to see the big picture. Epilogue: The indiscriminate earth. It was only couple of days before I saw riots breaking out in parts of Netherlands, against immigrants, legal and illegal. It seems although how much we boast about development, we fear to share our resources with other humans living on the other side of the same rock, which is called earth. If we forget the fact that we are separated by kilometers, instead measured in light years, essentially there is no distance between you and me, when we consider the closest star in the sky. Proxima Centauri. We are living in an isolated corner of the universe. We are lucky to have company of our own and animals around us. As just beyond the sky is eternal darkness and unbreakable silence for light years. So, what are we expecting by fighting with our Neighbours, for whatever the stupid reason, little bit of mineral? Gold? space? Its illogical irrational and stupid. Yet, I do not disagree to the fact that it is unavoidable too. Because we chose to play with each other on these games of life , inevitably we have to choose a side. Often whatever which party feels closer to us. As there is not yet a threat from the sky, from the Gods or Alean's, threatening our existence, we would fight for our resources among ourselves in these arbitrary groups. But today I am lucky, to step away from the play, which ordinary man calls living, and comment as a silent observer, a philosopher inviting you to join me and enjoy the platonic existence of eternal peace in an indiscriminate earth.

Candidates for "connection between everything" Have you ever thought about it? Maybe not, because it never crossed your mind. The answer is pretty simple and I am going to expose it in few sentences. But let's ask more questions just out of curiosity. What is the connection between a banana cake and your grandfather? What is the connection between a piece of plastic and a flying tortoise? What is the connection between water and a mirror? What is the connection between a rock in your garden and a next thought you are going to get? Can you see anything? Did you see any connection? I tried to be as random as possible in selecting two items. Let's look at several possibilities. Banana What is the connection between a banana cake and grandfather? Maybe your grandfather made a banana cake and ate it one day. Maybe you cannot see any connection between these two. But how about language? Banana cake and grandfather are both words made out of English alphabet. It seem a very good connection. But not complete. If you take English language and Egyptian language and ask the same question you may not see any connection. But when we think about everything as a concept made out of words we can see the interconnectedness better. But let's move on. What is the connection between languages? For that matter we can say sounds are the connection. Although words are different each language uses almost same sounds. Although used for different meanings when used in different combinations. But is it true? Is the sound the connection between everything? As it makes up languages possible and every concept is made of language? I know. You have doubts. These arguments are loosely attached. I do not try to find a sound proof argument here for what is the connection between everything. Only because this part of the article is to increase your curiosity. If sounds or vibrations are the connection between everything what is the connection between other fundemental forces like magnetism and nuclear attraction? As you can see we are at the level of four fundemental forces of nature which connect everything. The question is what connects these four forces? I think this is how far modern science can go. Beyond that it is philosophers land. Are you forgetting something? Waves You as the connection between everything It's you. Your consciousness. Your thoughts. Your observation about the nature is the one which connects even these four fundemental forces of nature. Let's think and appriciate this for a moment. You are the connection between a banana cake and Grandpa. You are the connection between a piece of plastic and a flying tortoise If anything you are also the connection between a mirror and water. A rock in the garden is just a thought which arise in your mind before you move your consciousness to the next. Infact everything in our relative world is connected by us. Like a long string of boolean numbers running on a Turing machine we fluctuate from one thought to the other throughout the day. As you can understand if we are the glue which helds everything together I think it's utmost important to learn about the properties of the glue. As there would be no thing, if there is no glue. So mindfulness or the investigation of self makes the essential fundemental component of my life. How about you? Do you think about yourself often? What have you learned lately from observing the life. I'm curious to know as, it is only by discussion we can shine ourselves more. Join me with this thought journey in Magical Mindful living

I learned recently that the world is 324trillion dollars in debt. The total wealth that it has generated is around 915trillion . It triggered me to write this article. As I can see there is a problem. A time bomb as someone would call it. Let's talk about why. The future The problem of debt. Imagine you do a startup. You find out that your business has a potential, yet you do not have capital to explore these options currently. So you borrow, as debt. If the business flourished as you expected fine. You get profit, while lenders earn their interest and capital sometime in the future, so they will lend it again. But as you can see there is a problem. The problem of what will happen if you were not able to pay back. Definitely the lenders will try and extract every penny out of your pocket. You will get bankrupt. And there would be a negative mark in front of your wealth number. But what exactly is debt? Why would anyone give you money when they know your wealth doesn't promise gurentee in return but with a risk. Borrowing from future Essentially in debt what you as a collector is trading your future. Your future expected earnings, and part of these goes to lenders as interest and installment. Depending on the guarantee you provide lenders may agree to this trading. Yet nobody would be willing to pay you more than your current total wealth, as if you go bankrupt there would be a loss for the lender. Now think about it for a moment. Let's say you own 1 mil dollars and you borrow 0.5 mil more for business. If everything goes fine that's good. Even if you go bankrupt on this new endeavour if you do not borrow more you can come out atleast 0.5mil after paying for the debt from your own pocket. But imagine you get loans from three different people to a total of 1.5 mil. And now if you go bankrupt, either all 3 or one of the lenders will not get total capital. Forget about the interest, they cannot recover their capital. This is the problem of debt. Generating wealth World as a 200 people group. Now consider the world as a group of 200 countries. They all have debts, have borrowed from each other. Governments, companies, public and private. Everyone is in debt to everyone. They use debt to pay debt. Trading their own future. As long as lenders would lend, things can go on. But consider what it means. It really means we are putting pressure on our future generations to earn more returns from the money we borrowed! Ah ha! Of course we are not going to do it as we are happy doing some travelling and writing blogs. But suddenly in 100 more years our children's of children will find out they are billions of dollars in debt. Each one of them and they cannot generate that wealth. And on the other side they will find they cannot recover their lendings. This scenario is inevitable. It will take 100 or 500 years in the future. Faster if a global catastrophe struck as all the wealth generating machines called factories would stop. I wonder what humanity would do in that scenario. Let's look at the positives and possible solutions. I see no point in thinking about this as one of my problem. I am fine doing my 8-5 shift being a part of wealth generating global machine. It is running smoothly today. But I want to prepare our kids fir the future. I would print a million copies of this message and distribute free to the world while papers are still abundant. While Internet is still flourishing and smartphones are everywhere. Hoping one of those copies would survive into the future post apocalypse. Waves in front of me Message for future generation. Forgive us for borrowing from your future to quench our thirst of greed. There are not thousands but few hundreds of us still think about you. But there is hope. The values we traded as your future is not the real value. It is all a mental game where we give a number to the future. Human consciousness have survived through hardships as it is the nature of it. So you as a child of future who lended your ancestors still have capacity to give a value to your observations of life. Just like me standing in front of this lagoon watching the waves giving it a more value than my bank account. Just use the gift of nature as if there is anything valueble to humans its generated there in your own mind. But you have a better chance of understanding valuelessness of experience, as we here are blinded by numbers.

Let's discuss recipes for success. I am sure you have read atleast one biography of a successful mentor. Maybe its sports, engineering or business studies. Maybe its art. Ones who were successful, once they were successful have given a list of items to do. Stepwise process to success. Often we believe in them, and we make our own stepwise guide. Follow these cycles all our lives and hopes for the best. But after all these same struggles you have been through I now realise there is no recipe for success. And this article is to why. Recipe Literally we are like ping pong balls. We are like ping pong balls in a casino game. Have you seen how random they fall down when released from a same point. Each and every ping pong ball takes a random walk down its obstacle path to ultimately end up in some random place on the board. Yet when we look at all the balls there may be patterns we observe. Our society closely resemble the ping pong ball table. Although there are patterns individuals take apparent random journeys. Just like we cannot predict the path of individual ping pong ball we cannot predict the journey of any individual in the society. Yet we see patterns. Let's look at some patterns. Hardworking pays off Smartwork pays more Habits govern our happiness Success depend on the people we associate Random games Some people live by these so called rules, get successful materialistic or other and they write a biography, falsely thinking rules they followed brought their success. But for a rational mind it may seem otherwise. Non of the rules guarantee the success. Past performance doesn't predict future success. There is inherent luck involved in everything we do. Do not believe me? Consider birth. Everything you do in your life, the success faliure, struggle and happiness depend on the place you were born. And there is no way we can remove the influence of this factor from our life. As everything aroused after this single factor its influence is inherently there. No matter how much I followed someone's success rules, I would be adding my cocktail of personal factors into the pot. Who knows the same rules which made someone successful might even kill me in the process. And this is only one reason I cannot give you a set of success rules. Nobody can know all the factors involved in an apple falling to the ground. Yet alone which affect our thoughts. Similar observation comes from mindfulness. And it's more subjective explanation. Its the will. How much influence we have on our will determines our success ultimately. Imagine you have a complete control of your life. Then success is very easy. You just need to sit down with a mentor and schedule your day filled with quality work that mental happiness will immediately follow and after sometime material success will follow. But this is not the case. No matter how attractive our plan may seem we will find that we cannot stick to it for longer periods of time, without causing suffering. It seem useless even to try these flowcharts. But what is the reason? Nature When you are mindful you will notice how limited, negligent or even absent our control over our will and thoughts. As an example just a moment ago, a crow passed near my window, making crow noise. I am unable to pay attention to anything else. I'm unable to stop thinking about it or think anything else when it happens. Listening to the crow has made a change in my stream of thoughts that it will never take the same path if it was not there. Same will happen when you put any new observation about life. Just like an obstacle in a ping pong game. We take a different turn every moment in life. Recipe for success So if there is a recipe for success I would say it's just being aware of the every move that take in life and hopefully it will add value when you look back one day. That's just like asking to put everything you have in the pot while cooking and hope it will come out as best soup! 👌 it might work if time is right. But happiness is what you are looking for it's easy to achieve.
