Let's fall in love

Let's chase our dreams

Let's smile for no reason

Let's be kind

Let's read poetry-classic-

and fall in love with

all those old poets'

souls.

Let's sleep for the whole day

and spend the night awake.

Let's forgive ourselves

Let's confess our love.

Let's dream,

dream,

dream.

Let's fall in love with life.

What are you thinking about?

A thought experiment by Frank Jackson to stir the contents of your mind.

There is a woman named Mary who has always lived in a black-and-white room. She has never seen any colour in her entire life, but she has always been interested in the colour red. She has read all the books there are about it, has gathered all available information about red, to the point where she now knows everything about red.

Now imagine that one day, she is suddenly let out into the world and made to watch a colour television. For the first time, she actually sees the colour red.

What do you think Mary would feel at this moment. Would she feel overwhelmingly happy, disappointed, or simply sad that her journey is now over? Another question is what Mary's situation means for physicalism.

Does she learn something new when she sees the colour red for herself that she didn't know before? How much stuff about the world is like Mary's red colour? How much is it that we don't know about our world despite all the theoretical knowledge we have about it? Do we ever know all there is to know about something?

How to Live in the Now? A Journaling Prompt

In this weird little rant, I write about how to live in the now. I also suggest you some journaling prompts to help you find yourself.

I went from worrying constantly about the future to being so laser-focused on the present moment in life that nothing else seemed to matter but where I was.

Living in the now is unarguably the only way one should be living their life. The past isn’t real anymore and the future isn’t promised, what only remains is what you do today, how you live, whether you smile enough, whether you make sure you’re being good to the people you love or not.

For us.

Before we start off, this post will be about learning how to be a human being stuck in the age of AI, reading books instead of our phone screens, and me starting my next college term next week!
