get lost and wander

 get lost and wander ​ Michel Foucault, a French philosopher who captured important features of modern power in the image of a shepherd on a search for 'one stray sheep'. He argues that modern power has increased its power as a whole by totalizing the population in the way it individualizes, that is, by carefully caring for and taming individuals one by one. It is said that active management and nurturing care that do not stop at simple oppression, confinement, and exclusion have become new technologies of power. He called the modern ruling power 'pastoric power' by comparing it to the image of a 'shepherd looking for a lost sheep'. Philosophy, for Foucault, was synonymous with 'lost and wandering. Not a curiosity to make one's own knowledge that must be known, but a curiosity to allow one to walk away from himself, that was the motivation for Foucault's works. What is the need for such a lust for knowledge that only guarantees the acquisition of kno...

Escape the script, starting small.

 Escape the script, starting small. Beliefs are just concepts and ideas that we consider to be true. We have the freedom to question and test our beliefs, but few do. Instead, we seek to conform our beliefs through collective thinking. ​ Rather than rejoice in discovering an error about the paradigm in the script the world has made, we should be able to recognize that the paradigm itself is the problem. The countless words, writings, choices and actions made in daily life were not blind. ​ ​ ​ Those who escape from the script understand that there is an uncomfortable process for progress to happen, and there must be progress for events to occur. Progress cannot be made without going through a difficult process, and without progress, events do not come. A process is a set of actions that produces an outcome. ​ Microprocesses such as beliefs, biases, and self-reflection abilities that refer to thought patterns; Through repeated and repeated actions, that is, macroscopic processes, yo...

 escape the script In finance, the 'time value of money is just as essential as salt and pepper in cooking. The gist of 'time value' is that today's money is worth more than tomorrow's money. When calculating the value of money, future money is discounted and priced lower. The same goes for time. ​ 'Today's free time is more valuable than tomorrow's free time.' ​ Scripted rules that you don't know who wrote them on the stage of society, How many life rations are we giving today to earn tomorrow's freedom? ​ It is not my money that my desires and consumption ate up. What they devoured is my life. My 'thing' owns me. Whatever that 'thing' is, I am owned by my 'thing', the 'thing' is owned by my debt, and the debt is owned by or makes a profit for the corporation. Consumption has stolen the ability to choose and the right to be free. ​ Time is merciless. never lose once The messenger of death is always with life. ...

There is no perfect preparation.

 There is no perfect preparation. Could there be a worse evaluation than 'I'm not ready'? The expression insufficient preparation actually has two meanings. One refers to a state in which the modern industrial system fails to function properly, is cut off, or is not properly managed, such as not preparing for exams, not memorizing theatrical lines, or appearing with a sword in a gun fight. What else does it mean? When we do something for the first time, we are not always well prepared. When it comes to creating a new kind of beauty or connecting with someone in a way you've never experienced before, you're always unprepared. Also, no one is ready to make their first bestseller or suffer an unprecedented catastrophe. I'm not even ready to fall in love or be loved. When you give someone a surprise, or when a crisis strikes again, you are not properly prepared for it. But out of fear, we obsessively think that preparation is important, so we let that belief overflo...

Motivation is necessary only for amateurs.

 Motivation is necessary only for amateurs. ​ ​ ​ Some people feel that motivation is or is necessary. In order for these people to carry out their creative work, a certain order or an appropriate atmosphere must be created for them. In fact, there are some people who say so. However, this behavior is a kind of stealth. ​ It requires an attitude of embracing freedom, even when short-term results are not achieved. Experience the things you have never experienced before and feel the charm of your life, giving out what you love above all else to the world. ​ ​ Motivation is necessary because conviction is necessary. We allow ourselves to be demoralized, paralyzed by the fear that it might not work out, giving the perfect excuse for why we can't. ​ Motivation is necessary only for amateurs. chuck claus ​ © TambiraPhotography, from Pixabay ​ ​ Writer Zig Ziegler says that motivation is like a shower. It's useful, but the effect doesn't last long, so you'll have to repeat it ...

The problem is freedom.

 The problem is freedom. ​ ​ "The human brain is living in the 20th century, but the heart is still living in the Stone Age. Most people are not mature enough to live independently, rationally and objectively. Humans are alone in this world, and there is no one other than themselves who can give meaning to life. They can't bear the fact that they don't exist, so they follow baseless beliefs or idols... Even now, people in modern times are driven by anxiety and consecrate their freedom to all kinds of dictators, or become small cogs in a machine and eat well and eat well. They want to be buried in an automated system rather than being a free person.” - Erich Fromm ​ It is difficult to think and choose for yourself. To be 'free' and to be moral Humans may be trying to escape freedom. ​ In order to be free, man must maintain balance as if riding a rope, standing in the present moment, where two eternities meet, past and future. ​ Freedom is both a problem and an oppor...

Can the truth defend itself in the fight against error?

 Can the truth defend itself in the fight against error? ​ If the Bible isn't all literal truth, which part is divinely inspired and which part is wrongly human? How can the Bible be the ultimate guide to ethics and morals, even if it is a significant advance from the standpoint of science? ​ What do we want from philosophy and religion? palliative? cure? comfort? Want a fictional story that will reassure us? Do you want to understand the real world? It's childish to get frustrated because the universe doesn't suit your taste. Shouldn't adults be ashamed to publish these disappointments? The fashionable way to deal with this is not to blame the universe, but rather the way we perceive the universe: science. ​ "Science has taken away our religion." - Bryan Appleyard ​ What religion does he long for? It is a religion in which 'humanity is the point, the core, the ultimate cause of the whole system, and places us clearly on the map of the universe'. He lo...
