"Reality may not be as real as it feels..."
Welcome to my site. I am happy that you are here. I have created this site seeking the opportunity to share and discuss interesting and challenging ideas.
I will try to expand on ideas like the nature of reality, our perception of reality, how we frame reality, why we do what we do, and how all these together create the reality in which we live.
I will expand on the concept that Reality is in the mind of the thinker. It may seem simple and unimportant, but I think it deserves more attention and meditation than most people would think. This idea will also be a point of reference to explore many other topics and how we perceive them. After all, isn't this the reason why there are so many differences of opinion? - We will explore at length many of them.
I will explore The idea that we all process and interpret the world differently. This premise is the main focus of my arguments. Because of the many factors, points of reference, and influences that our brains use to parse reality, we will have a slightly, or sometimes, considerably different experience, understanding, and interpretation of the events we observe.
Because we all see reality from different perspectives, I will add that reality can be relative, which is why a difference of opinion exists in almost anything that can be observed or experienced.
Parting from the premise of Reality, then I will touch on a number and variety of ideas and themes that have always intrigued me. These compositions will go from how we think and how the brain and mind works to biases, instincts, and the behaviors that makes us do what we do.
I will even dare to jump into commenting on the works of famous authors while trying to understand what they mean, and I will also there to analyze and untangle complex ideas, all as an exercise of the mind.
And why not, I may even touch on religion and politics. (Sometimes, if it doesn't hurt, you are not doing it right.)
I hope to expand and dig deeper into many ideas by reviewing the list of items on the Exploration Map. I will expand and explore each item using a systematic approach to make sense of them by presenting arguments simply and concisely. I hope that overtime, the Exploration Map will grow.
Warning: Because I am an average person, of average intelligence, I will try my best to keep my dialogues simple and accessible. I would like to think that this is more of a conversation than a monologue.
By exposing my thoughts publicly, I am attempting to force myself to formalize my ideas. And perhaps, I am trying to find a way by which I can expand and hopefully encourage others to question and engage in dialogue with me and themselves as we attempt to push the boundaries of our knowledge and understanding outwards. I invite you to walk alongside me through these ideas. I hope we all grow and benefit in the process.
Please note that I am not claiming to be an
all I can say is that I invite you to do your own investigations whenever possible. Like they say: "trust, but verify."
In short, my main goal is to further my understanding of things, to grow as a person, and become a better family member, a better member of my community, and a better member of society.
