We need more words that can match up to the increasing number of things.

“Why do we do what we do? "

The question is simply too generalistic for anyone to be confused about what answer is being looked for. That’s why people have stopped asking such macro questions. Its simply too confusing and only adds to our already existing lack of clarity.

Each word can mean too many things. If we modestly take a universe where each word only means two things, the probability of guessing accurately what it means would be (I am forgetting the name of this formula)-

7C7 * (1/2)^7 * (1/2)^0 = 1/128

If we want to get our humanity out of here sooner, we need to do something about this.

Does what you are reading exist?

If you are read this, you would find yourself only percieving it, as reality is in the mind.

Is the fan running because we can feel the air move around our skin or in our heads we want to relate the comfort of chemical changes in our skin to an external object relating to a common association which when added defines our very shallow life living in housed with fans.

In truth, I don’t sit write this, I simply associate all externals which add up to it. So one cannot be said to have the power to convince me that I am writing this without getting in my head, or conditioning my head into what society makes everyone believe is true according to the collective will of people paralysed by self relating categories of blindness.

The same collective will of people, because of which we have our clothes on.

Nothing exist considering we are rounding of everything else that defines the thing.

I got a theory thats explain why nothin can exist.

Lets say there is a thing. We keep reducing its size continously for infinity. A point will be reached when it cannot be reduced anymore because it almost wouldn't exist. But a thing cannot just vanish, can it? What would happen eventually?

I wonder if any scientific experiment is currently going on on this.

Once it gets unimaginably small, its size can be rendered insignificant and therefore we can round it off to zero.

In that perspective, all things that doesn't exist could be because they are all getting rounded off.

What if this hypothesis is true? It means all things exist everywhere all the time. If thats true the very definition of a thing is lot as we have nothing to distinguish it from omnipresence.

Nothing exist considering we are rounding of everything else that defines the thing.

I prayed to an ordinary owl- tricked by my own mind

According to the legent there lived a sorcerer named Sita in the Indo-China border. She granted wishes and owls were her medium of sending and recieving messages.

As I read about this in a book titles "Oriental Magic" I let out a quick prayer to her. Then I forgot about it.

Then it happened.

In the darkness of the night view of my balcony, an owl flew in and sat right on the bark in front of me. It was an hair raising experience. I let out another prayer and directed it towards the owl.

It could not have been a co-incidence. In three years of chennai I has seen an owl for the first time and that also just after reading the book. It was too perfect to discard. The probability would only conclude to something spooky.

Then I thought some more. The probability of seeing an owl that day after reading the book was very less. I read about many other things in that book. So the probability of any one of those many things happening would be higher. I read many books. The probability of a thing happening after I have read it atleast once out of many books I have read is even higher. Infact the probability of it not happening is negligible when I take time as infinity.

I dont blame the owl. I was tricked by my own shallow approach towards laws of probability.
