Work

Thinking, Fast and Slow

This book delves into the intricacies of human cognition, examining how we make decisions and perceive the world. It contrasts two systems of thought: System 1, which operates automatically and quickly, with little or no effort, and System 2, which allocates attention to effortful mental activities, including complex computations. The author, Daniel Kahneman, a renowned psychologist, provides insights into biases, heuristics, and the role of chance in decision-making. more

“أدركت أن الأحلام ليست مستحيلة وأن كل حقيقة لم تكن سوى خيال في الماضي. فوراء كل حقيقة خيال. والخيال جزء من الحقيقة. لذلك الأمل شيء جميل. وتوقع حدوث الأسوء لا يخفف من آلام أقدارنا ولا يمضد جراحنا بل يجعلنا كالأحياء الموتى لأنه ينزع من أجسادنا أرواحنا.. ينزع إيماننا بحدوث ما كل هو جميل.. ينزع ما يجب أن نعيش من أجله.. الأمل.”

“Those who violate the rights of others do so with the abuse/misuse of definitions (boundaries). To define is to bound. Holding onto known-definitions, the violator of individuation bludgeons others with their "boundaries / definitions." The anti-social hold onto what they know, using their definitions (boundaries) to resist the unknown and to stop others from moving into the unknown. The psychopathic among us cling fervently to their need to bound others and bound themselves. Boundaries implies bondage. The unknown implies moving into what is boundless, infinite. Those who fail to advance, fall back into the familiar, the bounded, in bondage with the known, the familiar, the habitual, the habit, habitat. One's true nature is boundless and infinite.”

“Maybe you are familiar with the experience of returning to your daily routines, following an unusually satisfying weekend in nature or with old friends, and being struck by the thought that more of life should feel that way -- that it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect that deeply engrossing parts to be more than rare exceptions. The modern world is specially lacking in good responses to such feelings. Religion no longer provides the universal ready-made sense of purpose it once did, while consumerism mislead us into seeking meaning where it can't be found. But the sentiment itself is an acient one, the writer of the book of Ecclesiastes, among many others, would instantly have recognized the suffering of Hollis's patient: "Then I considered all that my hands had done, and the toil I had spent in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind and there was nothing to be gained under the sun.”
