Lipid | Poetry #3

Make way for the lipid,
for he's drowning in the water.

Though his density is lower,
buoyancy refuses to push.

He is a molecule of lipid,
hydrophobic all around.

Drowning slowly,
waiting for the kiss of the ground.

Rethinking Our Place in Space Time

 We, as humans, have evolved the ability to observe and perceive the universe in three dimensions only. Although with our cunning minds and amazing mathematical skills we have started to observe the 4th dimension, which we refer to as time, we are still far from understanding it. At our highest ability, we perceive time as a linear flow—like one dimension but worse—because although we do traverse it forward, we lack the ability to even choose our own speed while traveling in this dimension, unlike the other three dimensions. A unique dimension? Is there something inherently different about the 4th dimension from the other three? Because the other three do show common features and differ only in their directions. So if we can perceive these three so well, why not the fourth? Is the 4th dimension categorically different from them? Or is it a flaw of our brain that limits us from experiencing the full capacity of the 4th dimension? Or is it the way we are raised after birth? What if, ...

The Perfect Life for my 6 year-old self

As any other normal child I hated school, and the notion that I needed to study everyday to be successful. I did not enjoy the idea of a stressful life. I was a very god-believing child and always wondered why God decided to put me into this human body? Why couldn't I be a deer in the jungle? My life would have been so amazing, so stress free, just full of joy. And then my mind turned towards the cons of being a deer and realised I could be eaten by a lion any day, and I'd not enjoy constantly living in fear of being eaten. So now I had to think of another animal that has the best life. I decided I wanted to be a lion. Who eats the top species in a food chain? It is lion who everyone fears. I could now enjoy a few days fantasizing about being a lion and living a peaceful life with no stress or fear. But then I saw lions fighting each other on National geographic channel. And also realised they are captured and kept in zoos for people to enjoy viewing them. And I did not want to...

Death By Rationality

Ordinary people seem not to realize that those  who really apply themselves in the right way to  philosophy are directly and of their own accord  preparing themselves for dying and death. If this  is true, and they have actually been looking  forward to death all their lives, it would of course  be absurd to be troubled when the thing comes  for which they have so long been preparing and  looking forward.                                    - Socrates I spend a good amount of time in deconstructing a general opinion or a specific opinion I read on the internet, into simpler forms and apply basic logic and rationality to judge which opinion is logically better. It's not a formal process. It all happens in the back of my mind when I'm idle. Through this rational process I have been able to overcome many of my beliefs that I could never imagine of giving up....
