Multitasker as Efficient Machine

You exist for society or society exists for you? Asked Jiddu Krishnamurti. Answer must be that each one of us lives for the society, if it is generalized after taking into account the "mass-culture". Mindful life is missing from everywhere. People want to be efficient. There is a competitive ecology prevalent all around between human species and smart computers or between masses of individuals. What do we want to achieve? Nothing! Is there any worth achievement which will be endurable? Even if one's name remains alive for thousands of years. Will it be sufficient to make one happy? Happiness is not an outside object, whose acquisition is dependent upon money. Happiness is not a goal, which may be achieved once for all. It is a means, a way, and it remains a way. Destination is a myth, a perception. Even a dead leaf has not reached to its destination. You may be good at production, of goods, services, wealths, but production mentality is obnoxious to happiness, peace, and integration. You may be a good useful machine, working for someone or something, but in the end, you are being consumed by your works. You might be a victorious, conquerer, a successful person, but your every victory over enemy is a defeat not perceptible very easily. Every conquerer is conquered by his own pride. Every victory is a seed of downfall. One can't fly always. Ground is necessary for every glorious or inglorious flight. You can't be efficient without any cost. Loss is perceptible. We are materially growing and our mind is witnessing its instability. We are living in a culture of "dil mange mor". This culture is thriving at the tune of "hum hai naye andaj kyon ho purana". But do we witness anything new when our mind is malfunctioning like an efficient consumer? Do we do anything differently except recycling old and making it remix? Perhaps, a multitasker is good for nothing except one is running after quantities. Who cares about quality? It is an old school question. Which is needless to be attended.

Human's Rationality: Its Unfree-Freedoms

Cosmic energy is moving into various forms and patterns, its quest is to become, what Arthur Schopenhauer called 'will to live'.  (Arthur Schopenhauer, 1818). He is explicit that: “Thus the will to live everywhere preys upon itself, and in different forms is its own nourishment, till finally the human race, because it subdues all the others, regards nature as a manufactory for its own use. Yet even the human race...reveals in itself with most terrible distinctness this conflict, this variance of the will with itself…”. Every ‘will to become' is a movement, encompassing the history of past and future; the degree of rationality and its gradation are normativized by thoughts as hierarchy of souls and monads. Human being as likeness and image of God possess the highest truth, indeed! In fact, human being is the only species who possess and owns the truth, it is the only mode of being who puts truth at stake, constructs its horizons and claim of legitimacy and illegitimacy, defi...

The Reciprocal Grounding of Freedom and Moral Law in Kant's Critique of Practical Reason

I Introduction: The Problem of Transcendental Freedom In Immanuel Kant's practical philosophy, transcendental freedom and the moral law are established not as independent concepts but as reciprocally determinant principles. This blog examines the central thesis of the Critique of Practical Reason, which posits that the moral law serves as the ratio cognoscendi (the reason for knowing) of freedom, while freedom is the ratio essendi (the reason for being) of the moral law. We become aware of our freedom only because we are first conscious of the moral law as an unconditional command; the "ought" reveals the "can." Conversely, the moral law itself could not exist as a binding principle were freedom not a real property of the will. Through a critical analysis of Kant’s text, this paper traces his argument from the rejection of all empirical moral theories to the establishment of a purely formal law, known as a "fact of reason." This analysis reveals how Ka...

The Physical Basis of Conscious Life: A Synthesis of William James's Physiological Psychology

I Introduction: Bridging Physiology and Psychology William James, in his landmark work The Principles of Psychology, provides a foundational framework connecting the brain's physiological mechanisms to the purposive, selective, and unified nature of conscious mental life. This blog analyzes James’s synthesis, which grounds psychological phenomena in the material workings of the nervous system without reducing consciousness to a mere epiphenomenon. We will explore his hierarchical model of the brain, which evolves from simple reflex actions in the lower nerve centers to the complex, deliberative functions of the cerebrum. Key themes include the role of the cerebrum as an organ of foresight and prudence, the physiological mechanism of habit as the process by which experience physically imprints itself upon the brain’s plastic matter, and consciousness's essential function as a “selecting agency” that is causally efficacious in steering the organism toward its own interests. Ultim...
