the filter of the mind

People tend to forget that the entire external world as well as the internal world is a construction of our minds. not to say that the external world does not exist or it is not the same as what we perceive it to be (that is another debate altogether). but whatever it is, there is no denying the fact that it is perceived, felt and experienced by our senses and our mind. So when it comes to changing things there are 2 ways to do it - you go about changing the external world or whatever it is that bothers you, or you change the way your mind perceives and processes it. The net effect is the same. So if you are unhappy about a particular external situation - you can either change the external situation or you can change your perception of it. All our education, thinking is trained towards how to change the external situation and almost nothing is taught about how to change the perception of it. But isn't it much easier to change our perception?

Should one be thankful since the “probability” that one exists is so low ?

  Should one be thankful since the “probability” that one exists is so low ? Not really - thinking of probability in these terms is meaningless when we don’t understand a lot of things - eg consciousness, qualia, creativity etc. It’s like buying a KitKat and asking what is the probability that this exact KitKat is in my hand right now out of the billions that have been manufactured and why KitKat and not katkit (ie why did they name it KitKat) etc. Such probabilities are meaningless. I understand where this line of thinking comes from - wanting people to appreciate life more given how “improbable” it is that we are here. But that’s not the reason to appreciate life in my opinion and this kind of reasoning - first of all is not useful and secondly doesn’t have much meaning as I said. There are reasons to appreciate life of course even though we don’t understand a lot of them yet (since philosophy, including moral philosophy hasn’t ma...

Subconscious communication

We think we communicate mostly with words. But the fact if we don't know exactly how much communication or information exchange is happening on the subconscious level. We understand so little about the brain, and consciousness that this question is unequivocally unanswered - exactly how much information exchange happen on the subconscious level. I think it is far more than we think. The conscious brain is good at reasoning after the fact i.e. coming up with reasons why we think a certain way. And these reasons are not always right - they are just an attempt by the pre-frontal cortex to make sense of how we are feeling at the time. e.g. you meet someone for the first time. There is a lot of information exchange happening. Just you looking at this person, there are processes in your brain forming an idea about this person - they way he looks, the way he walks, the way he moves, the way he smells, the way he talks, his facial expressions etc. etc. there are many other non-verbal data ...
