On day off today, spent time with friends.
High key period is coming up and there'll be no rest till End October.
One long stretch.
fighting to apply for leave for 2 days in August.
Chanced upon a few interesting things:
1. http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2012/04/27/when-einstein-met-tagore/
Made me change my mind about certain things.
Should I try for USP?
I took a look and it is very interesting, though I am scared that it is too challenging for me.
"There is the reality of paper, infinitely different from the reality of literature. For the kind of mind possessed by the moth which eats that paper literature is absolutely non-existent, yet for Man’s mind literature has a greater value of Truth than the paper itself. In a similar manner if there be some Truth which has no sensuous or rational relation to the human mind, it will ever remain as nothing so long as we remain human beings."
- Rabindranath Tagore
2. Been reading "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" by Carl Sagan.
Still halfway through the book.
But important insights noted.
We are all fallible, and we are all deluded.
The are systematic characteristics that can be found in pseudo-scientific claims.
Need to sharpen my language and critical thinking.
Where and how do I start? ):
_____________________________________________________________
Life is unpredictable.
What were the odds?
Why did probability arrange itself like that?
By pure chance..?
Reality takes a surprising turn, and it pounces on you. Like a tiger.
You are unsure, so is the tiger.
We have a say in this.
This indeterminism.
