I am sick of Netanyahu's lies on the basis of propaganda, this propaganda in search of using Hamas as his moral equivalent to purposely armour himself.

metacognition
A thought is not simply “watched” by another hidden observer in the brain. Metacognition is the brain’s ability to represent and evaluate its own mental processes.

It's funny how much of an illusion the mind is. People who you once took for granted in knowing you, even if just through simple observation aimed at your psychological well being, never were really truly aware of the person that you made them aware of. And the worst part of this is they have forgotten you or worse still you realize how little you matter(ed). As if erased from the existence you thought was being recorded in the unconscious camera of their minds.

That's solid foundational question impregnable to a metaphysical end. (Which is performed surmiseably as philosophical). So, I shit you not to sweat it any futher. It's a good thesis, but the trajectory is a negation itself.
We ultimately are fallible and creatives such as myself. We all do it (philosophy) different.
It's the feable types that follow and try to exhibit how much smarter they are. (Not the matter itself.)
I come across plenty of zealots on www. I must equate it with something that'll work for myself, as I have found there are many a philosopher out there but few can pull rank. Further to this testimony, philosophy as I mentioned earlier should be rooted in metaphysics.

Which is to say there are principles invloved in the price we ask questions, whereas the cost of the answers we pose shouldn't have to be referenced. I am making a point about using unscientific means not to reproduce something already known (i.e. plagiarized) but to create what is originally made as something useful. I always aim to make what I say as useful has value.
There is, of course, interpretation involved.
My point is to master language and logic itself. My arguement rests where empiricism ends. What acts empirically should only be a philosopher who acts with ¹ convcition ² vision ³ courage.

How much of philosophy comes from the way the philosopher wants reality to be and how much is based on actuality? And what's better in the majority of situations: to seek foundational, ontological truths or tangible, experiential epistemic truths?
As I age, I find the latter more helpful, I'm just wary of self deception.

“A person who thinks by images becomes less and less capable of thinking by reasoning, and vice versa. The intellectual process based on images is contradictory to the intellectual process of reasoning that is related to the word. There are two different ways of dealing with an object. They involve not only different approaches, but even more important, opposing mental attitudes. This is not a matter of complementary processes, such as analysis and synthesis or logic and dialectic. These processes lack any qualitative common denominator.”
–Jacques Ellul

Pareto Principle (The 80-20 Rule)
- If not used correctly, the Pareto Principle can lead to an excessive focus on short-term gains over long-term planning and stability.
- When used correctly, the Pareto Principle can help prioritize tasks, optimize resources, and improve overall efficiency. It provides a useful framework for understanding complex systems and identifying key areas for improvement.
- The Pareto Principle, also known as the “80/20” rule, states that for many events, roughly 80% of effects come from 20% of the causes.
Emil Cioran
Emil Cioran (1911–1995) was a Romanian-born philosopher and essayist known for his radical pessimism, existential doubt, and reflections on suffering, death, loneliness, and the meaning of existence.
Cioran believed that human consciousness can be both a gift and a burden. The more deeply we become aware of ourselves and the world, the more we encounter anxiety, absurdity, mortality, and the possibility that life has no ultimate purpose.Unlike traditional philosophers, Cioran did not construct a systematic philosophy. He preferred short fragments, aphorisms, paradoxes, and poetic observations. His writing is often brutally pessimistic, yet it contains dark humor and remarkable beauty.
Some of his major works include On the Heights of Despair, A Short History of Decay, The Temptation to Exist, and The Trouble with Being Born.

I found this voice,
but where I came upon it -
was a force of nature calling.
And how I found it,
doesn't matter.
What matters is that my voice,
feels much like itself.
Where the birds answer to it.
Where the past echoes.
And where I pray thoughtfully,
if every angel dreaming (fast asleep)
in the base of your mind.
And suddenly you felt found, again.

Unplotting generational dispcrepancies [August 30th 2010]
There is - a certain amount of my ego which gets itself displaced, much the same way, a man of Carl Jung's obsession with the ego observed.
I suppose my own support, of an equally horrific symbol 'ego' (i.e. symbolic) seems rather ominous. Nothing truly arranges itself, in some form of which can be magnified, that to such a degree of extreme or less - that the dichotomy of self - has given a name that's been forever changed. . . our depth, within perception, within the structure of god fearing nomads, within reason, pushed over for one beautiful figure.
Of course, these causes are of no special variety.
----------------------------------------------------
So much as I have, changed my very belief system to a sub-standard core, which is to speak of no such thing as authority.
I also, then, I began to realize many of the truth.
Such places in history where, hegemony resulted in clever disguised thoughts, which provided the politics of intrusion. Such as when no real authority, ever thought, power holds a large majority legally blind.
I say the prince is dead!
it all happened like this [August 30th 2011]
When I broke my silence, I didn't think about the future. I thought only how I was going to get my point across. At the time it seemed as though it was necessary.
My abbreviation to this mess.
I meant to do it.
I knew it was going to be hard to do. So I did it, anyway.
I forbid her from opposing my ungratefulness.
Now that I see myself, there - sitting across the table at 'cafe22'. I am at this present moment just a shadow of my former self.
My misguided judgment.
So, now here I am regretting those actions, those words I shall not repeat not here nor ever. They were simply a mistake - Marco.
My ideal wish is to forget about all this vanity. I much rather come to terms with it. How would I possibly know it would end this way. I didn't.
All I know is looking back, I see pain, hurt, shallow suffering for no good reason. It just happened that way.
A plea for help.
She deserved better and so do I.
But I can't get this monkey off my back.
She wanted to take her holidays around my birthday. I told her I wanted to marry her someday. We were planning on moving in together. I think that was a straw, which broke the camels back.
---------------
One night she came to my house, asking me to reconsider, although I didn't see it at the time, the mistake I was making.
The look she gave me, it scars me still.
She gave me a good bye hug.
And that's all that was left.
I wanted to run back after her.
Since then all I hear are songs on the radio that mock me for not knowing any better.
After all I did, she suffered, now I am taking on the guilt that I caused.
Marco, I wish you knew better. You fool of a man.
She was crazy about you.
Now, she is simply an afterthought made by your insipid nature. Now you can't have her back.

My only problem in life is that I may or may not lack the will of a hero. I tend to lean toward a presumptive death but my birth is in direct connection to what I have left to reveal in life. The very real relation between birth and death is how purpose can be found. What becomes your intention is either at birth or at death. Which is it? Does intent become you at birth or does it become you at death. - Marco
Sometimes one or the other ... or both . Like Neo in the matrix, sometimes you need to be told you have no intent to find your own .
I love love love the reference to Neo because it's an all time best story. I digress that I made that fb post amidst my own personal confusion. Let me get back to you on this if any sort of real revelation emerges my way. The source of my original inspiration from the ideas themselves comes from the question of intent and if it is divine intervention. By God's hand. If not what is intention based. At birth or at death. Reincarnation is a very real thing in this sense. Against my better ability to answer I find myself behind the eight ball on it. Which is fascinating to me. - Marco
