Generalize

If you're reading this (and understand the content of my blogs), I assume you're at least in your twenties. That means you've already spent a significant amount on this planet. Your consciousness has taken a physical form in this universe and you have by your own experience or most common in today's time, vicariously (Through social media, TV, internet), have learned some rules of this universe. You have either willingly or unwillingly, consciously or unconsciously, learned many rules of nature, or rules of social conduct, customs and traditions of your family, society or even country.

These rules, didn't became rules just like that, many people took actions and learned the effects of their actions, decided that those actions were either good or bad for them or for the society at large. Through rigorous empirical testing and experimenting with various ideas, philosophy and examples. Humans learned to some extent, what's right and wrong. This learning of the difference between right and wrong is a life long learning for every human, with ideas and concepts becoming more and more abstract and complex as we grow older.

Another school of thought says there's nothing inherently wrong or right in this universe, as universe itself didn't come with a rule book, also it is in constant state of chaos or entropy and many things doesn't even makes sense to us. On top of that with the finite nature of life itself, it makes every meaning in this world irrelevant. This exempts any action from being right and wrong and just asks you to maintain temperance or balance in your life if we want to continue living in this meaningless existence, this is the core philosophy of some religion as well. Anyhow, any rule or lack of rules or constraints is a learning of how we should or how we can function or behave in this world.

We in our early days started to recognise simple things like the difference between our father and mother, then after few years the difference between cats and dogs, then the difference between morally right and wrong acts, we learned things by experiencing many things by ourselves. And it's true that our learning can never be complete, we'll never achieve a state of omniscience being humans. Our models for the universe would never be complete and there will be outliers which we haven't encountered. Test data we haven't seen, limited training data we got to learn from for our life experiences. That's what makes everyone unique, because everyone has unique training dataset and different test datasets. The best thing we can do is to generalize from what's given to us.

Saathi (My first Hindi Song)

Ek sher before the song *( Manzile bhi ushki thi, rasatha bhi ushka tha),-2 Ek mai akhela tha, kafila bhi ushka tha, Saath Saath Chalnhe ki sooch bhi ushki thi Fir rasta badalnhe ka faishala bhi ushka tha (Aaj Kyu akela hu- Dil sawal karta hai )-2 Log tho ushkhe they, Kya huda bhi ushka tha ?

The wave theory

Why is India considered to be peaceful country? when it's history is drenched in blood and wars. from various kings like Ashoka and Aurangzabe fighting for land and glory. Followed by UK ruling over India draining it of it's wealth and resources for 200 years, after committing innumerable crimes, now they portray to be philanthropic  and altruistic and that's what America is doing after killing millions of red Indians and taking over their land, now it's called the land of opportunity and the most advanced country on earth. It's said history repeats itself, sure it does it's a wave, there are times of great unrest, great change, great wars and we have peace now because of those reasons. This peace is an illusion and it will only last until an artificial order is maintained where people who are actually suffering are made to believe and feel content with their lives (hence religion and jobs) or are fooled to think that their lives are in the natural order of...

The Cat and Dog world….

Note: I had always wondered what life is on the other side of the wall; well it’s pretty much the same… I, since childhood had a certain fear…of telling a girl that I liked her (the wall)…but on one fine day (or should I say night)…3:19am to be precise, message someone… ”awake?”… And then ‘IT’ happened… (Worst part- I wasn’t drunk) You must be probably wondering…what the hell! Does this has to do with the name of the topic…trust me, getting there…ok let’s see some characteristics of cats and dogs… CATS - are considered to be -   1.) Cute                                                  2.) Indifferent to others feelings (doesn’t get emotionally attached)                 ...
