Life and Blah!

May 8, 2010

This post has been a long overdue. But then again, when have I followed up a routine. And so again,  incoherent stars – making sense only to some.

  • Its both magical and cathartic to see how your dreams and thoughts grow out of those yellow – blue shorts to a more somber sober semblance of suit. But I find it hard to change the interiors. Can/Should they really be changed? Why does everyone needs a gimmick?
  • Peter Pan syndrome is a deep-seated belief that one will never, and must never, grow up. It is named after the legendary character of the same name who lived in Neverland, a place where kids are immune to aging. But then, this is also true; Fairies only exist if you believe in them.
  • You don’t need to have a big affiliation or an equally big degree to re-enforce life’s first principles. I met a guy who used to drive a Mercedes for his employer. He then used his savings to buy an Auto-rickshaw and put down his papers, so as to say. Now, he drives his vehicle at his will – at his ease – and according to his needs.
  • Being an atheist is either a fad or an emotionally  gratifying assurance that we are in control of ourselves. Is there anything such as free will?  Anyways, here is an awesome – awesome quote from a soap,  Supernatural:

Think of the million random choices that you make–and yet how each and everyone of them brings you closer to your destiny. Do you know why that is? Because it’s not random. It’s not chance. It’s a plan that is playing itself out perfectly. Free will’s an illusion, Dean. That’s why you’re going to say yes.

  • I hate fence sitters. And I stick to this aversion as unequivocally as I can. You cannot and should not denigrate something, just because it does not falls under your sense of pleasure or taste. It was amusingly distressing to see an acquittance of mine going on lengths to prove how Google Chrome is a bull’s excreta and how Google is winding itself into its innovation pit by jumping onto the OS, Web, Mobile… business all at the same time! He is working in an IT firm. Debugging some one else’ creations.
  • I have started using small sentences or maybe I so like using caps-lock and probably so. I have always accepted the fact that I am an outlier in some sense. But then every one is, in one way or the other.  We all live in a mandatory need to affiliate to a tribe. And I am still in search of mine ;)
  • Nice guys are suckers and easy targets. Okay, and now I know this blog should end. God these digressions.

Adios :)

      Since when did you start making too many grammatical mistakes?

    5. May 9, 2010 7:16 PM

      being an atheist does not automatically make you believe in free-will. in fact those who subscribe to atheism on rational grounds tend to reject free-will as well. so your whole point is utterly wrong.

      So maybe I got a wrong set of data to collate my conclusions, but help me understand, if one does not believe in a higher power/ authority and such like and also does not believes in himself, then what point is he trying to make?

      @rp:
      here i take too things atheism and free-will:
      atheism: a belief that god does not exist because there is no conclusive evidence for it.
      free-will: a belief that we are in control of our-selves.

      Now physics is against free-will….reasoning is simple…everything in the observable universe seems to follow rules of physics…so why is human mind an exception in it? so there are strong reasons to believe that there is nothing like free will, everything- animate or inanimate is subjected to the rules of science…and science is deterministic and hence events understood by science is theoretically predictable. On a practical side our knowledge of human brain is getting increased day by day and we are able to reduce many mental phenomena to the chemical processes of brain.

      And about atheism, people don’t believe in god because there are no evidence for it.

      in simple terms 1.no evidence for god=> atheism
      2. no evidence for free-will=> disbelief in free-will. you can see that both beliefs are mutually compatible. the kind of atheism you are alluding are a product of mediocre reasoning not of proper scientific inquiry. that’s it.

      On the other hand belief in god and belief in free will is held simultaneously by theologians particularly in Christian theology though they are mutually incompatible. Hope i make sense.
