- By eliminating the need for constant validation, we can find true solutions.
- Status acts as the opium of the people, dulling their perceptions and judgments.
- Fear breed fear by inventing new threats through imagination.

Tricks of the mind to avoid difficult tasks:
1. Rushing through things.
2. Producing inferior work to create a false sense of achievement.
3. Engaging us in trivial tasks to stay busy.
Thinking Shorts (5)
Abusing and insulting someone is a coping mechanism of the mind
to manage our own fears, ignorance and feelings of inadequacy, thereby
creating a false sense of superiority over others.
Thinking Shorts (4)
Given enough time and stupidity, we can rationalise almost anything.
Impatience = 90% errors.
Our psychological state (A.K.A the state of mind) is far more important in making a decision than data or fact-checking.
Thinking Shorts (3)
Illusion of control i.e. The faith in our ability to fix a crisis is often built on:
1. Baseless assumptions. Being either lazy or scared to question our unverified theories or inferences. We love mental inertia.
2. Belief in monocausal explanations. There is never only a single factor that caused something.
3. Biased to think that we are free from bias. We are the irrational apes. We believe in flat earth, mermaids, and witches.

Better be serious about the problem than the situation.
Forget the circus and focus on the play.

Discovery isn’t about novelty alone.
Not just finding new things
but also to discard old ways of looking at the problem.
Zen-ing (Poem)
Monkhood 101 is
live in the moment.
feel the power of now
is the trend now.
But I never caught the “now”
couldn’t do it.
time couldn’t prison itself.
zeptosecond missed touching its own tail
despite the free will.
Awareness of awareness is simply the past.
so
all I got is the past with a mask of nowness.
I am here yet not here.
The noble truth is this-
we can only grab the dead time
not the living time.
the living time is beyond
and doesn’t respond.
I cannot stalk time.
The drums of mind (Poem)
Why does mind has a flashback?
What’s the point of archiving such delicate pulses of psyche?
Is it to label me as an anti-hero?
because one is sure that there is no wisdom in mis-steps and mis-dances
just bad geometries of thought.
Why is feeding and fattening itself
and getting slaughtered by calorie heavy food
and its stunt doubles.
it is easy to stay in the character
when you are the director
and the story doesn’t have the gravitas.
No pressure of being baptised by the burdens.
It’s better to delete these disqualified short films of time.
just catch the fire of life
and let yourself get burnt.
the slo-mo snags and situations
deserve an Oppenheimer bomb.
whistle and miss the missile.
Rich Mockeries (Poem)
The irony of success is
you don’t have time to cherish it.
The irony of failure is
you have all the time to feel it
till your bones soak in self pity.
—Twisted games.
