Hope

In times of nationalism and talk about borders and fences, it's important to see the bigger picture.

From the time that humans spread from Africa, our world have become bigger and bigger. And the interaction between different parts of the world have increased.

As Yuval Harari has stressed, is this trend supported by dark events like wars, colonization and in these days the climate effect.

In the long run this trend seem unstoppable.


Once the Romans built a wall in England to secure the empire, Hadrian's wall.
It's still there. Very long, from shore to shore.



Hadrian was an emperor from 117 to 138 AD.
The western part of the empire was soon going to undermine itself.

But now, in a much more peaceful time, the borders in Europe is secured on other ways and its still possible for  the most of us to travel in Europe.

We live in quite peaceful time, compared to the last centuries.

Media reports of every incident, so it seems not to be so, but it is.

And even if that will change, the trend is that we humans will live longer.

Our brain is trained by evolution to see the problems and out mistakes, so that we can act and learn from it.
A naive person may not live a long time.

But it can be good to not overstate the problems or to see the good things that will come out of it.

Our look at the past, especially our personal ones is always a interpretation of often false memories.
As we dint know about the future we often look to the past. As if we could stop time.

But hope can also live in the fact that we cant predict the future.
We often project the past on the future.
We can learn from history, but it will never repeat itself in the same way.

Even very good possibilities can come, hidden behind some blue curtains.

Cora Diamond on eating animals - with the help of Wittgenstein´s ideas

Image
Cora Diamond is a new name for me, even if she has worked as a professor in Philosophy in the states for a long time and is still  teaching at the university of Virginia, even she is over 80 years old. She has written a lot about Wittgenstein and that has helped her to express her view of the topic. Although she, like Wittgenstein,  has lived in a hut in Norway - and actually brought Tractatus with hes - she seems to be different and for sure more glad than W. Anyways, its W: s writings that interests her and especially his critics of metaphysics and ethics in philosophy. As it is said in Tractacus  : " Whereof one  cannot speak , thereof one must be silent." And of ethics philosophy should not speak - why? Is it like in Buddhism - its better to sit in silence and let know yourself, than to speculate about what will happen when we die? But for sure there ethical guidelines in Buddhism,  but the behaviors is often named skilful, not good (or bad). Another

I think, therefore I am NOT

So Descartes was wrong. He said that he could doubt everything about himself except that he was thinking. That proved that he existed. The word "I" is the central point here. What does it mean? Perhaps we are sure that we know the answer. Is it the thoughts? In that case - where are you when you aren't thinking? Is it your job, your title? In that case - what happens if you loose your job or change job? Is it your house, your nation? Under my course to be a mindfulness instructor, the teacher, Ola Schenström, made us ask to each other; "Who are you?" After each answer the question was repeated by the questioner.We soon discovered that there were no end to the answers - or maybe an adequate end could be; "I don't know."Or maybe; "It seems I have no essence." Other thinkers have come to the same conclusions; Buddha, Sartre and more recently Damasio and Parfit. Sartre, for instance, has said that we are the sum of our actions. We ha

Wittgenstein and Buddha -buddies?

Image
Ludwig Wittgenstein, the famous philosopher, reflected in the posthumously published  book "Philosophical Investigations" about the picture above; Is it a hare or duck?  He meant that we make, or must make, a statement what it is. And I suppose he meant that we often or always has to interpret the world around us. But two different interpretations can both be right! Language and thoughts controls what we see.....   You can compare with the picture of a glass. Half empty or half empty?  Who decides? Yes, it's you... And whatever you say is right.  But you can be aware of what you think. That can say more of yourself than of the glass....  You can be aware of that you always do interpretations of things that happens.  If you have a pessimistic or a naive point of view, you can be aware of the view and your statements.  Buddha and Wittgenstein were both aware of that different persons uses different perspectives.  But Buddha spoke about the "right
