– In-utero existence ~ unconscious mind ~ dream/fantasy ~ ancestral/contextual consciousness

– “I don’t wanna run away from violence.” – Eugene Peterson

– Why name a chat app “Discord”?!

– “Highest rates of misinformation in key battleground states”

– Stoned:
Have you ever felt omnipotent? I have!
And, after imagining all the possible options, for where I could be and what I could do, I realized that all I ever wanted was the here & now…… 😌

– Tamil Nadu Day – Nov. 1!
We are Tamilians…
so let us live (settle down & engage locally as permanent native residents) in Tamil Nadu, unless there is an exceptional situation, which forces us to flee elsewhere

Do NOT covet! 😎
If we see our neighbor living in a posh house that is grander than our own, would we be pining to somehow go and live there, or would we also look at the (hidden) advantages (and the moral pride) of one’s own home??
“Home is where the heart is”
“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”
When it comes to what you do, take wings! And when it comes to where you live, put down roots! ✌🏽

Tamilian/Indian – this our identity, whether we like it or not!
Whoever talks of “GOD’S will” and is ignorant of this, is truly an idiot.
And whoever lives as if such matters are unimportant, and pursue economic gains as the sole value, are nothing but spineless mercenaries……
Let not our children suffer an identity crisis/vacuum, because of our short-sightedness.

– What is the relationship between MNCs and nation-states?
How does one (ethically) relate one’s own cultural/political identity and this globalized/capitalistic world?

– Would the collective impact of the unknown heroes, on the world, be greater than the famous giants?

– The OSM is not just a means of promoting “spiritual growth”, but a method of de-constructing & re-inventing it!
Anti-positivistic endeavor

– Seemingly natural
Distinguish:
Biological culture
&
Cultural biology

– I struggle as much to derive any thought from pleasure (of being stoned), as I do with deriving pleasure from sober life!

– Enjoyment + knowledge = melancholy!

– Maybe my intractable boredom just shows that I am a dumb genius who is simply blind to the glory of his very existence!
