Quest Pile

2016-09-22T10:27:00.000-07:00

Complete social isolation has become a necessity for my thoughts to be wholly unpacked.

2016-09-22T10:26:00.000-07:00

Why do we long to be remembered for whatever it is after death?

2016-09-22T10:25:00.003-07:00

What is an inclusive society without a truly inclusive language - one in which "to 'walk' together" means the same for one and all?

2016-09-22T10:24:00.006-07:00

The urge to impose one's notion of truth and worth perhaps comes from one's insecurity.

2016-09-22T10:24:00.003-07:00

Many a truth is compromised in thought's search for meaning.

2016-09-22T10:24:00.000-07:00

It it weren't for the flawed machinery of episodic memory, self affirmation would have been formidable.

2016-09-22T10:23:00.000-07:00

Only the I knows the burden of me; and only thyself can tell its privileges

2016-09-22T10:22:00.003-07:00

What is that which is uncontentiously the most repulsive thought yet to be repressed by culture?

2016-09-22T10:21:00.003-07:00

A meaningful thought can be discerned when it leaves its mark with a minimal possible footprint.

2016-09-22T10:21:00.000-07:00

The overrated rationality is but a certain eventuality of any thought allowed to run its full course.

2016-09-22T10:20:00.002-07:00

The genre of biography trumpets only some lives as remarkable. But whose life is any less uncommon?

2016-09-22T10:19:00.003-07:00

Is pre-linguistic cognition accessible?

2016-09-22T10:19:00.000-07:00

What cognitive needs, goals and desires, if any, exist in social vacuum? Are not much of individualist's interests socially constituted?

2016-09-22T09:57:00.003-07:00

For a mind compelled by curiosity, meaninglessness remains ephemeral.

2016-09-22T09:46:00.000-07:00

If we pin worthiness on efforts or success, then eternally aflight Alpine swallows, most absurdly so, appear worthier than sedentary Koalas

2016-09-22T09:34:00.003-07:00

Are we not morally obligated to fathom the spectrum of meaning a word- for instance, 'hunger' - could take before uttering it rather casually?

2016-09-22T09:33:00.000-07:00

Of late, the scholarly propensity to hold that something can be known in entirety and with certainty has become quite disquieting.

Compassion and cosmic oneness

2016-01-23T09:07:00.000-08:00

Does the state of compassion imply a cosmic oneness that blurs the notions of self and other, time and space, and life and death?

Self and image

2016-01-19T20:20:00.000-08:00

Just as mirror reflections of our outer selves are far from totality, so are social reflections of our inner selves. The "quality" of image is contingent not only on our perceptual sensitivities, but also on the adequacy of the reflectors we choose, and more so, on that of the obligatory mediums - light and language. Self-knowledge only begins with apprehending the illusional nature of the artifactual self.

Suicide

2016-01-16T17:57:00.001-08:00

Why is suicide a crime to be repressed? Is it because with every act, however isolated, it leaves a footprint that mocks the society by pointing to its many intractable inadequacies?

Origins of life

2016-01-16T17:45:00.000-08:00

The endeavor to trace the origins of life seems to be an unending displacement of scientific focus. If the first forms of life came to be through a simple sequence of chemical reactions sparked by rocks, what explains the origin of these very "first" matters?

Survive

2016-01-16T17:08:00.000-08:00

What kindles the inexorable desire in life forms to survive?

Reason and experience

2016-01-15T08:24:00.000-08:00

Is knowledge through reason more idiosyncratic than that through experience?

Reason

2016-01-14T16:16:00.003-08:00

How do I know whether I am reasoning and not simply stringing together internalized, logically consistent verbal testimonies?

Conscience

2016-01-14T10:32:00.001-08:00

Is conscience just a mirror that faithfully reflects thoughts, passing no judgments whatsoever?
