Lies are a thorn in your soul. Only Truth will set you free.

A soul drenched in lies is a soul that is constantly suffering. And removing the thorn from your soul is an even more painstaking process, but you must endure it so that you can be free from all the suffering caused by the thorn in your soul.

Most people find comfort in the collective delusional bubble, regurgitating and feeding off from each other's lies.

There is no greater purpose in life but to understand life in it's entirety.

What is life if it's void of struggles, love, crisis and contradictions.

I call a life that had all of these a pretty rich life.

It is embarrassingly despicable that mankind does not hold itself to the intellectual rigour it should have.

All we have is mindless half animals running around acting out their primal tendencies.

There is no question more important than the one that inquires into the nature of a noble life.

It's preposterous how people think they can live by delaying the inevitable.

What a wretched existence.

"Good men by nature, wish to know. I know that many will call this useless work... men who desire nothing but material riches and are absolutely devoid of that of wisdom, which is the food and only true riches of the mind".

- Da Vinci

Every material object that you see is a manifestation of the will of God.

He who wishes to get rich in a day will be hanged within a year.

Oppressing and dominating others seem so cool until they start to dominate and oppress you. Then they come home crying that they have been wronged and mistreated.

There are many different types of people. Some people are honorable and integrious and wise.
There are others who are fools, opportunists and clowns.

They way you deal with clowns is not how you deal with the wise, for the way you deal with mature adults is different from the way you will deal with a child.

Do not expect honor from thieves.

After doing of tons of experiments in using LEDs to achieve diffused lighting, I have finally come to the conclusion that it is better to use an incandescent bulb.

Eyes feel much better in incandescent bulbs which has lighter feel compared to harsh LEDs.

Highly recommend using incandescent bulbs instead of LEDs.

However if you want to make the atmosphere even more pleasant, avoid direct light. Diffused lighting is more wholesome.

Here is a powerful trick to learn something new: Call it the black box technique.

First of all, assume thing that you want to learn as a mysterious black box. There are many aspects of the box that you want to know about.

Then you assume the highest level of abstraction that you can think of that box.

The level of abstraction has to be as high as possible.

(For example, if you are learning about AWS, think of it as a bunch of computers stacked together.)

Then learn about one thing that can connect that level of abstraction closer to the blackbox.
This is a distinction that adds more flavour to the highest level of abstraction that you have previously come up.

For example, you can think of AWS as extremely powerful computers as opposed to simple everyday computers. That's the high level concept of a server.

This will give you one more distinction that stands independently of the high level abstraction and the black box. And then you need to find a few more distinctions in the same manner.

The black box will never completely disappear. You will just keep learning more distinctions and practice them daily in your own mind.

You are learning to connect two things with TRUTH as opposed to MEMORY.

For this to work, you need to have real desire to learn the said thing and it must hurt your ego that you do not already know about it. Without desire, you will fail to retain anything in your memory.

All maps of knowledge are merely graphs where you have nodes that are distinctions are edges that are relationships between those nodes. Learning is the process of making this map.

Only a healthy ego will give up itself when it realizes that it is no longer needed.

A weak & wounded ego will cling on forever hurting itself even more in the process.

There are roughly four factions of American Politics:
1. PRO - TRUMP CONSERVATIVES.
2. ANTI - TRUMP CONSERVATIVES.
3. ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRATS.
4. PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS.

Progressives have the best policies on paper. But they underestimate how easy it is to implement them or for most people to understand progressive policies. They are born and bought up in upper class. Mostly consist of young progressive Americans voters.

Establishment democrats are more towards the right, less idealistic and more realistic to what the American people actually want.

Anti Trump conservatives are a lot more grounded, have a better sense of morality and be a good pick for conservatives.

Pro Trump camp is the worst. The biggest problem with theses people is that they are vulnerable to deception, fraud and scams. Low self awareness. They will do as told as their leader.

They are stupid enough to make comparisons with the revolutionary American leaders with themselves. The revolutionary leaders had a progressive vision that fueled their actions.

You are storming the capitol because your leader lacked impulse control and throwing tantrums because he can't accept that he lost the election.

If you are in the Pro Trump camp, take great care and look at yourself. Remove the sheep elements from you. Think for yourself.

More sentencing is going to come for the capitol riots.

You must develop the skill to assess the consequences of your own actions even before you engage in them.

Taking action, and then deal with the consequences then, will only land you in trouble.

You will end up in the same positions like that of Tate and Trump. The only difference is that you don't have too much wealth, power or connections like those people, so consequences will hit your face, way faster than it did for them.

Fix your course to a star and you can navigate through any storm.

A decently lived, noble human life is more profound than the existence & life of Gods themselves.

"The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again."

Gods would gladly exchange places with you, if they could, while retaining some aspects of their Godliness. God is the selfless and the human is the selfishness. Both can exist and intertwine beautifully. That's the essence of a noble life.

Content across all platforms have unbelievably degraded that it's abysmal. It all repeated and regurgitated content and AI have made it only worse.

This is the case for what used to be great channels which I used to watch on earlier.

Hit "DO NOT RECOMMEND" immediately when you see a channel posting clickbait content.
This content is usually targeted at mindless consumers for the most.

If you are watching the same topic twice, then you are going to get the same substance as content. Not worth your time.

The only solution is to find people who make good content and restrict yourself to only watching their stuff. Custom Content FTW.

Thankfully, there is endless content out there. You need to make it easier for the algorithm to suggest you high quality content. You need to help it by weeding out trash content from your feed.

An immediate red flag of a bad teacher is when start teaching a concept with the pretext that "THIS IS HARD".

If some professor starts their tutorial with this statement, 100% of the time, they would do a shitty job at articulating the concept, even if they understand it well themselves. Fast thinkers and high IQs often struggle with explicating things simply enough. Not to mention that if they don't even understand it themselves they would completely fumble it for you and you might end up hating the subject.

If you ever find a person having both of these traits, and is willing to mentor you even a little bit, then you have struck gold.

Such a teacher is going to save decades of your time from given you the correct structure and meta application tools that they themselves might have took decades to come by.

“People are more motivated by the relative inequality, than by the absolute level of well being.” –Brett Weinstein

People are more motivated by their level of relative wealth, than by their absolute level of wealth.

Why?

Because it isn’t about money or wealth.

It’s about status and power.
