James T. Kirk, Leonard McCoy: Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
James T. Kirk: Life-- Spock, why didn't you jump in?
Spock: I was trying to comprehend the words' meaning.
Leonard McCoy: It's a song, you green-blooded Vulcan! The words aren't important. What's important is that you have fun singing it!
Spock: Oh, I am sorry, Doctor. Were we having fun?
Leonard McCoy: God, I liked him better before he died.

Spock: Captain.
James T. Kirk: Spock, we're on leave. You can call me Jim.
Spock: Jim.
James T. Kirk: Yes, Spock?
Spock: Life is not a dream.
James T. Kirk: Go to sleep, Spock.
Spock: Yes, Captain.

"It's unkind to point out the Obvious to those who don't want to see it.
But it's worse to point out the Invisible to those conviced it doesn't exist."

Ingo Swann

If a person's dearest dreams can come true, then real failure, too, is possible. As failure is the most feared of misfortunes, being responsible for pursuing and perhaps failing to achieve precious dreams is everyone's ultimate terror. On the other hand, if the realization of such dreams is impossible, then we are free of this terrible responsibility: many people find it easier to endure the idea that everything they want is impossible than to face down the terror of being responsible for attaining it. And once they decide that what they really want is impossible, from that moment on they are invested in that being the truth--otherwise they are fools who have thrown away their lives for nothing.

When you come to think of it, almost all human behavior and activity is not essentially any different from animal behavior. The most advanced technologies and craftsmanship bring us, at best, up to the super-chimpanzee level. Actually, the gap between, say, Plato or Nietzsche and the average human is greater than the gap between that chimpanzee and the average human. The realm of the real spirit, the true artist, the saint, the philosopher, is rarely achieved. Why so few? Why is world history and evolution not stories of progress... but rather this endless and futile addition of zeroes? No greater values have developed. Hell, the Greeks 3,000 years ago were just as advanced as we are. So what are these barriers that keep people from reaching anywhere near their real potential?
The answer to that can be found in another question, and that's this: Which is the most universal human characteristic-- fear or laziness?

iluze je, kdyz: nekdo necemu priklada hodnotu, nejakemu postoji treba. pak ho to bude ovlivnovat, bude diky tomu v iluzi. iluze prestanou az tomu hodnotu prikladat prestane

"The true pessimists of our time are those who assume the current pattern will simply continue indefinitely."
-Martin Weiss

prevzato z vtipu :o)

Living in the present is a spiritual aspiration of many who are on the path to awareness. To truly live in the moment requires a tremendous amount of letting go. Some are willing to let go of projections about where they will live in the future, what work they will be doing, etc., yet resist letting go of the idea of who they will be loving (and, more importantly, who will be loving them).

BUBBLE: karl popper on the problem of induction: No matter how many instances of white swans we may have observed, this does not justify the conclusion that all swans are white.

we are limited beings in an unlimited universe. all we can hope for is to find out how we are wrong this time.

we don't know anything, we just don't know it yet.

“Black Swan” is a term I probably need to explain before I proceed. There used to be a saying in Medieval England that something was about as likely as “finding a Black Swan”, meaning it was highly unlikely, akin to “when pigs fly”. According to historical record, this term was in widespread use until the 17th Century and the discovery of Australia, which bought with it the first sighting of a Black Swan in 1697. In scientific terms this is known as a paradigm shift, it was a discovery that couldn’t be incorporated into the current understanding, it had to redefine it. And clearly, the metaphor could no longer be used.

Nassib Taleb, in his book of the same name, defines the Black Swan as an event which is 1) hard to predict, 2) highly consequential, and 3) wrongly retro-predicted. The history of human culture is a progression of these Black Swans: the internet, the home computer, the motor car, wikipedia, Harry Potter, Princess Diana, facebook, the Renaissance. World War I was a Black Swan, it may look predictable in hindsight, but prior to it actually happening it was near unimaginable.

YBUKO: mne v poslednich dnech docela pobavil clanek http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20227046.400-choice-blindness-you-dont-know-what-you-want.html?full=true

For example, in one recent study we invited supermarket customers to choose between two paired varieties of jam and tea. In order to switch each participant's choice without them noticing, we created two sets of "magical" jars, with lids at both ends and a divider inside. The jars looked normal, but were designed to hold one variety of jam or tea at each end, and could easily be flipped over.

Immediately after the participants chose, we asked them to taste their choice again and tell us verbally why they made that choice. Before they did, we turned over the sample containers, so the tasters were given the opposite of what they had intended in their selection. Strikingly, people detected no more than a third of all these trick trials. Even when we switched such remarkably different flavours as spicy cinnamon and apple for bitter grapefruit jam, the participants spotted less than half of all switches.
