What is thought?

Real thought is not sounds and images playing in the brain. Real thought is a type of high-level computer code that you are writing and executing on the neural circuitry of your brain. The execution of this high-level computer code then generates words (either written or...See more

From an essay by Bernardo Kastrup: If all trash collectors were to disappear, civilisation would literally come to an end. There can be no industry, no system of education, no high technology, and generally no large-scale human productive activity without trash collection. You...See more

EMPATHY

Many people say it's useless, others say it's "for weaklings," still others say it "leads to compassion," and pedophiles and murderers don't deserve it. In my opinion, if there's no empathy, there's no room for noble feelings like love and compassion, and therefore we're not complete human beings, no matter who we're addressing. To avoid feeling it toward the "wrong people," we become less and less accustomed to using it, until our hearts are as hard as ice.

HATE I saw little participation in the proposed survey (even though it was anonymous). This is a clear sign to me that there is a lack of interest in participating, and so, since it's a real "commitment" for me, if it's not necessary, I won't do it again. When we talk about...See more

LOVE The concept of love has many facets, and many confuse it with passion, possession, happiness, avoiding loneliness, help, euphoria, and many other things. Perhaps it encompasses them all, and in my opinion, it doesn't have a single definition. What is fundamental, in my...See more

COMPASSION The world is ablaze with wars, and I read terrible comments on Facebook (especially about the Gaza Strip). I think compassion is sorely lacking. A virtue that demonstrates two things: love for one's neighbor and empathy. One possible definition is participation in the...See more

Unfortunately, I see little participation in the surveys I conduct on the various human issues I propose. I wanted to create a "round table" where everyone not only had their say but also actively participated in the final discussion. Perhaps that's not the right path. Before making a final decision, I'll wait for your opinion, as always.

SUFFERING I was thinking about suffering. Sooner or later, it affects everyone: it can be physical, spiritual, mental, or a combination. Many people and many doctrines affirm that suffering is a moment of (obligatory) reflection and a potential for evolution. Personally,...See more

FRIENDSHIP I was wondering what friendship is because a dear friend of mine disappeared after an argument... I think it doesn't matter whether you argue or not, if friendship is strong it overcomes all storms, no matter how "hurt" you feel. In friendship, being right doesn't...See more

HUMANITY The term "humanity" has fallen into disuse and unfortunately refers only to biological existence. In my opinion, it is much more: from an ethical and philosophical perspective, it encompasses concepts such as compassion, empathy, and altruism. It is our duty to be...See more
