I totally believe in the premise of saying you can psychologically die without fear from the ordinary. - Marco =============

“It is good to hide your brilliance under a bushel, to be anonymous, to love what you are doing and not to show off. It is good to be kind without a name. That does not make you famous, it does not cause your photograph to appear in the newspapers. Politicians do not come to your door. You are just a creative human being living anonymously, and in that there is richness and great beauty.”
~ J. Krishnamurti, The Book of Life.

Intensity of innocence is an intriguing concept. I like to offer myself as an extension of that. - Marco

This is why I've always always loved Brando. He is a giant. A genius in my mind. - Marco
"This is the killer moment, and it comes to all of us. It came to me long ago: It will come to you soon enough. The creation of art is joyous, and it may be the closest we will all come to heaven. But the world that has been created in which art is alleged to flourish is so full of corruption and badness and absolute evil that the artist in all of us is crushed unless we are organically stupid or willfully retarded. You must blind yourself; plug up your ears; lie and smile and shuffle. And for what? To do what you know and love to be so pure and so necessary. There is a lobotomy that is necessary to survive the narcotizing stupidity and crassness of the theatre, films, television, writing--the big circus/whorehouse that calls itself the cradle of art. Handle yourself carefully. Smile and breathe and get to where it's silent."--Marlon Brando/From “The Lake of the Mind”

As we age I come to realize how short a time we have in life. From which I also get a feeling of living forever as right in front of me. It's as simple as just being still and at peace with yourself. Where the world maybe at war behind you only you are unaware of it, you not being a prisoner trapped in your mind. - Marco

To my surprise, I want other people to forget me not, that shows I care, to the type of thought compassionately void.
=================
"to the type of thought compassionately void." = This means people are void of thought, which they are otherwise unaware of. Therefore, compassionately driven people think about everyone but themselves. If that were a universal habit that all people employed, we would live in a very different world, rather than a displacement of radical thoughts at random. (a) If everything could be less pertinent (b) to one thing true of everything and everyone, (c) a trained psychic self image. Compassion would be better served in all our needs, wants, and thoughts of a universal voice. A method of riches to key in on life.
=================
I am not one to know how far playing within the rules will take me; as there are too many to count which go against me. - Marco

The most lenient source of words cannot express my gratitude to those I know believe I have something to offer in terms of my thoughts into hard copy.
Having had a confrontation over Facebook with some idiot re; my mental state - was a complete breach of humanity. It really has scarred me, but what I found is necessary was re; the same idiots (I know who are out there) with displacing my name to that of humiliation.
What I refer to is how incriminated I am when it comes to exposing what I know is the truth about me. That I am not a mad man on the prowl, with a diseased mental state, in fact abusive of your rights.
Furthermore, I feel I author credibility in written words. I have accumulated a style for prose that unlike many, I am not paid for but probably should be.
I just want to thank the people I sense are out there that do not wish to take any of this for granted.
Thank you.

I feel seriously out of touch with the beat of this generation. An explosion of perfect bodies, tattoos, slutty self imagery, king sized egos. I have come to realize how quickly things change in such a short period of time, and it forces me to wonder who am I.
================
A non egotistical smart man with self worth
==============
Thanks Ally. I do appreciate that.
I guess what I see in the world today - from a cynical point of view makes me a lot less tolerable. My mistake is... I compare myself to what may suggest (in my mind) falls further behind the beat of my own generation. This means I find myself subject to the world, in large part, being on the outside looking in. I wonder what it is I am missing.
I would go so far to say I fear the world we live in today. I never really thought about it reaching this point. But here I am.
Am I wrong in seeing this - for which I don't have the answer.
I feel like I am in over my head. I am spent emotionally, physically and mentally. Where I see myself today compared to twenty years ago - judgement has been passed as an expiration date. That is exactly how I feel right now, a man past his expiration. All I see are signs that reinforce my perspective that it fuels my prejudices.
I can't stand myself.
I dislike the idea that somehow my personal history has been clouded, as you have told me on some occasion, not to let what other people think bother me.
That's just it, the world I see today, is so full of competition I have no clue as to what's in it for me. I am so different from what I see is out there. If I didn't have friends like you, I don't know where I would be.
That's from where my thoughts first started, before you offered your response.
I have been waiting for a response from someone or something that interferes with my symbolic delusions, though I am not running around without knowing why.
It is either one of two things: I don't like myself and this is all my own fault or I must learn to accept myself and trust what I see is accurate but that it holds me back.
On average I am a decent human being. I am a person that has been misunderstood his whole life and in that time had been taken advantage of. All of this shallowness or what people accuse me of as self pity makes me come across as a victim.
=====================
And don't get me wrong there are people that I do admire with all my heart, I am not trying to say there is nothing good in the world. I am trying to describe how intimidated I feel.

I don't usually subscribe to religious imagery unless it is captivating to me. Like most art this image is far more than what your eyes are telling you. It captures my belief as a person who believes in the untold story of Jesus as a man rather than the biblical legend. This pic tells me a lot about human selfishness in today's day and age. It is a powerful image if you take away the thought of Jesus and never heard of him.

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.
Today, Netanyahu providing false information that Palestinians are leaving Gaza, ergo that Hamas are preventing Palestinians from leaving. Netanyahu exhorting propaganda only to increase the assault. Classic fallacy.
I am sick of the metaphorical use of these processed claims only meant to vilify Palestinians fleeing Gaza when it is obviously not what they want. This is an exorbitant abuse of hypocrisy against the real victims in this. Again, this speaks to the killing of Palestinians on a malignant scale that as I said earlier is disguised as a moral equivalent to Hamas.
If Hamas were taking action, and threatening Palestinians from leaving Gaza, Netanyahu is staging it. How on earth can Hamas be holding onto Palestine when it is in captivity itself. (Let me say that again: Palestine does not exist in the hypocrisy that is Israel.) Netanyahu wants to believe "human shields" insofar that Netanyahu can keep killing Palestinians in Gaza. Netanyahu burning a candle from both ends. It's a masterclass. A tragedy which is on unprecedented levels.
This counter-culture is the brutal assault on Palestinians disguised aka Zionism.
The superficial aims (Israel) have when reality goes into its own mode of extinction, a system that collapses on itself, on the basis of another's only survival (Palestinians) without fear of a relationship only favoring Zionist rule. Let's be clearer here: this makes hostages purposely being held as another element of propaganda, which history pages will pass as academic. Netanyahu does not care about hostages and never has.
If Israel want to act like a democracy rather than rule the Holy Land with an iron fist, they need to start acting and play by the rules like everyone else.
As victory nears in favor of Israel, and Netanyahu is your fearless leader. . . just like you thought. Spineless cowards.

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 involves networks across the prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, and frontoparietal regions that monitor information such as confidence, errors, attention, and the accuracy of our own decisions. When you recognize “I’m thinking about my thinking,” the brain is generating a higher-order representation of its own cognitive state.
In a sense, the brain becomes both the thinker and the subject being examined.

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.
What it tells me today is how much of an imbecile I became as result of that naive brain of mine.
I think I have changed but not to the extent I don't enjoy playing hide-go-seek, where the trick is played, that you never really wanted to find me.
I see a lot of people today that simply never had my best interest in mind. And I am not a stupid human being. Why repress these candid views of mine if I feel them wholeheartedly to the point of - of a guarded metaphysical action. It is sad. Very sad. But not because I am the self creator of a demise unknown to me.
I write this because of the person I am with qualities that will equalize any kind and quickly seize any opportunist. Sadly this is not a defense mechanism, it is a test in my personal quest for truth in what I see in others I once loved and love still. Despite my disappointment, despite what you think, I want what's best for others as I do myself. Since going on this journey I have suffered great trial and error incurred are beliefs that we all have, but some holding more water.
I guess my damn mind is a vestibule with a crack in it ready to burst. I really am trying to be the best version of myself I try. Some would confuse that for self improvement on some level. Although I choose to be far more straightforward.
I am a part of this space we all contain. We live on a globe where I hopefully find nothing but rain.

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.
Marco

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

Expressionism should be related to how you emit the element of experience from within yourself as a cause to eliminate yourself from fear. - Marco

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.

@bigcanadiano: Dreams are awesome because it is your subconscious control of the universe telling you how repressed your sexual energy has become.
If dreams designate my freedom in the universe, then I am the sum of all fears. I must do what my mind intends on.
- Marco
@bigcanadiano: Ask yourself if dreams can decode reality in ways that alter its dimension, why then live in a vacuum. Dreams inform your memory of things.
- Marco
@bigcanadiano: You can act about me as though I am naïve, I don't exist, or outright ignore me but I know what it means to better insult your intelligence.
- Marco
@bigcanadiano: Here is my signature move: not to take myself too seriously, but never be taken for granted not wanting to be taken seriously.
Maybe my single greatest attribute as a man.
