# To realize is to realize, 1.4

The Buddha attacked all attempts to conceive of a fixed self, while stating that holding the view “I have no self” is also mistaken. This is an example of the middle way charted by the Buddha.

— Wikipedia on Philosophy of self

The ultimate self-fulfilling prophecies:

1. free will or not

2. god or no god

3. afterlife or not

4. future spouse exists or not

.

Why self-fulfilling?

3. afterlife or not

.

Whether “afterlife” exists or not depends on your definitions of “self” and “afterlife”.

.

At one extreme, the definition of “afterlife exists” is that, after death, the same fixed self will continue to exist; “you” will exist in exactly the same way as before. In this definition, afterlife does not exist.

Note that even before death, during your normal lifetime, there is actually no “same fixed self”, “you” keeps changing every day and every second.

.

At the opposite extreme, the definition of “afterlife exists” is that, some aspects of you continue to exist in some way. In this definition, afterlife exists.

For example, if some of your writings still exist after your death, they will preserve some of your mind.

.

This question is like, when your old computer is dead and has got replaced, does it still exist?

The old computer hardware does not exist anymore. However, some of the software and the data do. But just some, not all.

.

Continue to exist?

All of you?

NO

Some of you?

YES

He attributes his lifelong habit of writing every day to an incident in 1932 when a carnival entertainer, Mr. Electrico, touched him on the nose with an electrified sword, made his hair stand on end, and shouted, “Live forever!” It was from then that Bradbury wanted to live forever and decided his career as an author in order to do what he was told: live forever.

# Ultimate Freedom, 2

Imagination is not an empirical or superadded power of consciousness, it is the whole of consciousness as it realizes its freedom.

— Jean-Paul Sartre

.

It is where anything not forbidden can happen.

It is where anything logically consistent can happen.

These are what I kept reminding myself during my Age of University.

1. I think, therefore I am

A lot of times, something seems to be a deadend.

However, once I have faith that a solution may be possible and start to think, most of the time, that “deadline” is actually resolvable.

2. Nothing Less

A lot of times, an action seems to be insignificant.

However, actually, every action may have infinite consequences, especially when you cultivate it.

A key to get a meaningful life is to dare to ask other people or yourself for answers, advice, or favours, when necessary.

Don’t be afraid to ask, as long as a request is ethical, reasonable, and polite.

# What is magic

Science is the real magic.

What you know is science; what you do not know is magic.

Life is a process of turning magic into science.

On knowledge independent vectors:

When you already have a complete set of vectors in $n$ dimensional space, you have to go up one extra dimension in order to find a new independent vector.

Death is not an event of life. Death is not lived through.

If by eternity is understood not endless temporal duration but timelessness, then he lives eternally who lives in the present.

Our life is endless in the way that our visual field is without limit.

— Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1922)

— Ludwig Wittgenstein

— translated by Charles Kay Ogden

# Publish! 11

Why do we like to share insights?

So that those insights can have a future.

— Me@2011.08.08

So that those ideas can continue to exist.

So that those ideas can be upgradable.

Sometimes, I want to do something but have no motivation to do it.

For example, I wanted to do the exercises of a Superspring textbook. So I decided that I would publish my exercise solutions.

Then, since my exercise solutions would have long term use, I was willing to spend a lot of time working on them.
