Category Ar! Chives: Casual Observations

For quite a while I’ve been hobby studying social systems and how these system form the behavior, mentalities, and mindsets of the people living and growing up in them. In short, what type of system forms what type of person, or INSPIRES what type of person. For example tribal, as compared to capitalist philosophies, as [...]

Maybe convictions and firm beliefs are not necessary because if everything is always in a state of change and your beliefs, no mater how firm, are always changing to accommodate to a situation, and the fact that an individual believes in something because of certain circumstances that shaped the beliefs such as being born in [...]

Because infinity is so big does it really exist? It’s beyond measurement, so it’s beyond ones own comprehension and because of that IS it even? I wonder what other concepts exist, but (at the same time) don’t really exist simply because they are beyond comprehension…. Where in infinity does the individual exist? If you are [...]

The following is one of the many interview type discussions I frequently have with my father. This one I actually logged… Larry: I’ve been thinking a lot this week about innovation, and how it causes economies to grow, and how innovation often starts at a high level with a certain philosophy, or a certain political [...]

As nature is too (to a smaller and smaller extent now) directing the evolutionary “change” of the human species, I would muse that the everyday modern environment has stepped in as the predominant “step-parent”. I would also go so far as to say that we are actively re-directing the evolutionary future of our species, and [...]

So here’s an interesting concept… Quantum psychology: When you see your “alternate” self in someone you don’t like, and that is why you don’t like them. When you like someone you see what you want to see in “yourself” in them. Everyone is literally a projection of yourself, and no one is really real because [...]

What you choose to think lays the groundwork for the actions you preform, and the actions you preform set the stage to what type of person you become. Thus, as you are in a constant state of creating yourself with the thoughts you cultivate, it would only make sense that this rings true for a [...]

Can, or does, someone see a color without believing in that color first? How many colors does one not see because they had never been acknowledged? …Or one learned to dismiss them, and as dismissal of them became habit one forgot how to see them… atrophy of perception or senses. How many feelings has one [...]

My sister bought an old book on acting from the library store. It was a very old used book. She found an equally old and used foodstamp in it. It was ironic. Older societies, such as Greeks, had a high(er) regard for artists. I’m assuming that’s why such societies where the ones that had the [...]

As of late I have come to the strong conviction that the future of games is indeed tilting in favor of casual. Casual games have been around for some years now and are known for their quantity instead of quality. Their popularity is largely credited to their noncommittal nature. This fits into everyone’s lives (normal [...]

Based on a series of conversation with my brother. Self-awareness is often used as a defining characteristic of human “superiority” but, as of late, I honestly don’t believe humans are self-aware. Why? We seem to only be aware of the result, not the cause. The only concept we’re really aware of are those strikingly obvious. [...]
