Observations About the World, Part Forty-Three

Image
Photograph of the Atlas globe Injustice | Monday – September 7, 2026 J ustice, injustice... These are hard things to deal with, and indeed the world is full of injustice, everywhere you can see and hardly any justice. And really, it must be stated, whatever justice we can find, so-called " justice ", does appear to be quite artificial, read " The Problem of Secular Law ". Of course, there can be much understanding to be had for the people who seek justice where they see injustice, and for their actions and beliefs it must be granted that they are angels, or at least they are true in their convictions. Of course, the problem with people who seek justice in a world full of injustice, is perhaps above all that these people seldom understand what true justice is, and conversely they also seldom understand true injustice. If injustice is the negation of continual justice, justice in their view,* then it is perfectly understandable that they are so moved and motivated by ...

Further Notes About Hope

Image
"Good morning Nepal" By Ravi Sharma Further Notes About Hope | Saturday – September 5, 2026 I n my post about hope, called " Is There Hope ", from June , I made it clear that there is no hope in the long term, and this has to be true, even if we only choose to view this from a merely corporeal point of view, because at the very least we should all be dead in the next century or so. Now, if we are lucky or unlucky, depending on the perspective, maybe we will be remembered through symbolism and representation, and maybe even through counterfeit, if we are unlucky that is. But none of us can possibly have any hope that we should be around in a century or so, for our biological limitations, or corporeal limitations, dictate that living past, about the age of 120, is quite impossible, and this was even said by Yahweh himself, read " Genesis Chapter 6 ". Now, I am not a nihilist and it is not my intent to advance nihilistic ideas on this page , it is however my ...

The Matter of Comedy

Mosaic of a Roman Comedy Mask The Matter of Comedy | Friday – September 4, 2026 S hould we be laughing? Why are people so obsessed with the matter of comedy anyways? First of all, I am someone who seldom engages in the art of comedy, mostly because of its strong political angle and tilt; I will however say that there are many absurd things about the world that truly deserves to be uncovered, and I suppose that comedy indeed has a role to play in any society to that end, to that end. The problem with modern comedy is that it is mostly nothingness punctuated by failure, and this can be said about these people who engage in what they call "stand up comedy" in particular. Since when should talking aimlessly until you happen to come upon an idea qualify for anything? It seems to me that these people would have been better off just guessing, which is what they are doing half of the time anyways. I suppose comedians of that kind are similar to the bastard poets in these so-called ...

Avoiding

Image
Hindu ( ॐ ) depiction of Shiva ( शिव ) drinking the kalakuta ( कालकूट ) Avoiding | Wednesday – September 2, 2026 I n life we often seek to avoid uncomfortable truths and conditions, and this can often go so far as to create within us a kind of insanity, mostly because our attempts of avoiding the inevitable, such as death, creates a kind of depersonalization, and so we become disconnected from nature, read " Disintegration ". Really, there is also an individualism present in this anxiety and this struggle to avoid, because today people lead their lives as if they have no destiny, as if they have no role and no place in the universe, read " Hierarchy "; instead men are lead to believe that everything in this complete closed system, read " Modern Civilization ", is within their reach, if they only bother to apply the correct mechanical procedures to get their, and so it is easy to put the blame on each individual for their faults, and conversely it is just ...

Electricity

Local Masjid ( مَسْجِد ) and Minaret ( مِئْذَنَة ) in Side By M. C. Dutt Electricity | Saturday – August 29, 2026 E lectricity powers the world and enabled me to write this post in the first place; electricity powered the lamps and the speakers on that Minaret featured in the picture to the right. Yes, without electricity life would seem empty and void of many of the things that people may take for granted here in our 21st century, in our modern civilization . Now, electricity may seem quite mysterious to most people, and indeed, I believe that it is quite fair to describe electricity as "mysterious", because what we are dealing with here is something that is hidden from our purview, because it exists on a level below the material level, on the level of particles and even on the level of subatomic particles. Yes, in that sense it would be quite fair to describe electricity as mysterious and even magical, but this would only apply to the extent that we consider electricity a ...

Observations About the World, Part Forty-Two

Photograph of the Atlas globe Curing Disease | Friday – August 28, 2026 D iseases, read " My Views on Disease and Decay ", and their cures... Well, this is quite an amusing topic to me, especially as the cures are getting alarmingly and increasingly fantastic. How do profane science attempt to cure diseases such as cancer? By trying to rearrange the fundamentals of the universe, by trying to force a change that will invariably serve to denature the very thing it purports to cure, or seek to cure; really by moving atoms out or into place. This is how low profane science has dug itself, really down to the pit. Now and of course, many times these " medications " will not work, and this is also quite amusing, if we for one moment put the fact that people are dying aside, because then doctors and profane scientists will give the patient a prognosis. Yes, here again we see prognostication and conjecture rear its ugly head and the materialism of some kind of misguided bel...

Age

Image
Hindu ( ॐ ) depiction of Ganesha ( गणेश ) Nurpur School ( نورپور ) Age | Wednesday – August 26, 2026 T he most ageless thing in existence must be the universe itself, depending on what we define as existence and assuming that we should negate God , the Lord, our Creator, and the source of all Knowledge . This means that you have only lived a fraction of the age of the universe; that is so small that it would be close to meaningless to attempt to define this fraction. Now, some people, especially certain Buddhists, would go on to define your age as whatever fraction of the age of the universe you have lived and then add to that the whole age of the universe, which would be quite accurate from a material and numerical point of view . After all, you consist of the same thing that everything else in the universe consists of, and the only difference is that threshold of consciousness, but apart from that it would be quite accurate to say that you are about 13.79 billion years old, and I wo...

How Should Enemies be Dealt With?

Image
Hindu ( ॐ ) depiction f Lakshmi ( लक्ष्मी ) surrounded by two elephants ( गज ) How Should Enemies be Dealt With? Monday – August 24, 2026 S hould enemies be treated with contempt, should they be shown any kind of mercy? These are questions that are very current, and I suppose that they have been with us for some time when we consider the history of the previous couple of centuries . Now, some may say that indeed, you must slay each and every enemy, that you must treat them like vermin, that you must suffocate the air until you have reached the good graces of every single one of them, really until you have eliminated each and everyone of your enemy, until the air has become your domain. Now, this would perhaps be in keeping with the Code of Hammurabi, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. But I would perhaps attempt to hedge between the Code of Hammurabi and basic human decency, not from a do-good liberal perspective , but from a traditional perspective, a perspective of a kind of sol...

The Archean Eon

Image
Hindu ( ॐ ) depiction of Shiva ( शिव ) slays Andhaka ( अन्धकार ) The Archean Eon | Saturday – August 22, 2026 B eginning with what profane science (geology specifically) describes as the Archean Eon , I have decided to attempt to outline the many theories surrounding the early Earth. Why is it, for instance, that we have oxygen on the planet today? Or why did life appear on Earth in the first place? Well, to answer that first question, I suppose the scientific consensus is that at some point a bacteria known as Cyanobacteria appeared in the late Archean Eon, and this bacteria, not an Archaea, was capable, and indeed is still capable, of producing oxygen, through a mechanism called photosynthesis, read " Mechanism ", and this mechanism is also something that is still ongoing. Now, none of this appears to be in dispute, although there are some people who we may call "crackpots" who claim differently. Of course, I the Archean Eon lasted for about 1.5 billion years, whi...

Home – Again | Freestyle

Local Masjid ( مَسْجِد ) (Mosque) in Side, by M. C. Dutt Home – Again | Monday – August 17, 2026 H ome, sweet home... They say. Because after all, why should my home be confined? Why should my home be defined? Why should home be preordained, read " My Views on 'Neighbours' "? Am I destined or am I right where I belong? Again, a home is not merely a house or an apartment, or even the country you happen to reside in. A home is a community, a society , something that transcends time and space and individuality; a home is something that is not defined by one person alone, and something that is not dependent on the moment. Yes, in our world it is very much necessary to define a home by what it is not, by the negative, which perhaps and hopefully should be telling enough, read " Modern Civilization ".      Yes, I am now officially back from my trip in Side, Türkiye, read more about that here, and I must say that this is a good time for reflections and for commenta...
