The oppressor would not be so strong if he did not have accomplices among the oppressed.

The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long that nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was... The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.

~Milan Kundera

II.

My tutor taught me not to favour either green or blue at chariot races, nor in the contests of gladiators, to be a supporter either of light or heavy armed. He taught me also to endure labour; not to need many things; to serve myself without troubling others; not to intermeddle in the affairs of others, and not easily to listen to slanders against them.

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book I

🎶🎶 why are we all trapped inside our own desires that we all think are ours but it's just a bunch of consumism/capitalistic goals that society have inflicted upon us 🎶🤟🏼 why do we seem like we are real when there isn't even a such thing as our own willpower 🎶 our so denominated willpower is just a series of biochemical processes in our minds that we call hormones and emotions 🎶🎶

Nothing is real.

Everything is a lie.

#this is not even a proper song #its probably just a bunch of inflicted opinions over my brain that have been previously manufactured by other thinkers and nihilistic cat owners #i am becoming very nihilistic lately and nothing is helping me to pull the other way

Ich bin ein Mensch wie jeder andere auch. Ja ich mache Fehler, ja ich denke zu viel nach, ja ich werd auch nicht immer der selben Meinung meines Gegenübers sein, aber schlussendlich sind wir alles Menschen mit der gleichen Intention hinterm Leben.

Wir wollen alle glücklich sein, und wir alle haben es verdient glücklich zu sein. In den vergangenen Monaten bin ich durch Himmel und Hölle gegangen, nun steh ich hier und habe meinen Frieden zu mir selber gefunden. Ich weiß wer ich bin, ich weiß wer gut und wer schlecht für mich ist. Ich habe mit dem Hauch von Gesindel nichts mehr am Hut und plötzlich hat mein Leben eine ganz andere Bedeutung.

Ich kann endlich behaupten dass ich glücklich bin, ohne mir groß Mühe gegeben zu haben. Ich habe angefangen zu lesen, wo ich dachte nur die “Streber” würden Bücher lesen. Ich habe angefangen einen Nächtlichen Spaziergang zu machen, statt meine Gefühle mit Drogen und Alkohol zu betäuben.

Ich habe aufgehört meine Laune von Menschen abhängig zu machen die mir nur im Weg stehen und das kleine Hauch an Glück was ich hatte, nichtmal vom Herzen gönnen.

Ich dachte ich würde einsam sein, ich dachte ich würde durch diese “Einsamkeit” zu Boden gehen. Ich habe mich so unglaublich leer gefühlt, bis mir bewusst wurde, das alles was ich brauche Ich selber bin.

Was ich damit eigentlich ausdrücken möchte, es ist besser alleine seinen Weg einzuschlagen als mit Menschen die dir nur die Steine in den Weg legen.

Du bist für dein Leben verantwortlich. Lass es dir von niemandem kaputt machen !

When I see something and I miss the opportunity to capture it well somehow, capture it either in my mind or read it again, or even see it again, just as I have not have had enough of it yet; I hold my breath and close my mind and go to look for it intensely. I avoid everything that comes my way, any other piece that could distract me because the way that object interacted with me in a particular manner, it might not be unique, maybe belonging to a set, and I know if I allow anything else to get to me before I experience that object in that same state again will be different. If I allow any other thing, it will culminate to an impure mix and I will not be able to experience that object in the same manner again. It will become an alloyed experience. I hold a distaste to this impurity, although, it is highly probable for it to occur and at times even leads me other things, just as I write right now, yet, I have this impractical wish to be able to experience that object in the same manner again.

They have removed the struggle to find anything. Book store owners and record store owners used to be oracles. In that way, you'd go in this dusty old place, and they might point you toward something that would change your life. All that's gone.

Meditation is not what you think.

You sit in absolute silence and your mind starts going over all your movies. During that process, you become so familiar with the scripts you keep in your life that you end up getting sick of them. Then you realize that the person you think you are is nothing but a complicated script you spend most of your energy on.

After a more thorough examination, you discover your personality disgusts you, and that’s because it's not really you. If you feel terrified enough about that personality, you spontaneously allow it to fade away. Then, if you're lucky, you can experience yourself without the distortion of that personality.

There's so much talk about the mechanics of happiness - psychiatry and pills, positive thinking and ideology - but I really think the mechanism is there. All you have to do is get quiet for a moment.

How to Use ChatGPT to Take Your Writing on the Topic of Philosophy and Turn It Into a Research Article with Resources

Introduction: The Power of AI in Philosophical Research

In the realm of philosophical research, the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ChatGPT has been nothing short of revolutionary. These technologies have the potential to elevate your writing from a mere thought experiment to a well-researched, comprehensive article. This guide will walk you through the steps to harness the capabilities of AI and ChatGPT to create a research article that not only delves deep into philosophical questions but also ranks high on Google.

Why ChatGPT is a Game-Changer for Philosophical Writing

ChatGPT, powered by OpenAI's GPT-3 or GPT-4 architecture, is a conversational agent that can generate human-like text based on the data it has been trained on. For philosophical writers, this means a tool that can help brainstorm ideas, outline complex arguments, and even suggest resources for further research.

Automated Brainstorming Sessions

One of the most challenging aspects of philosophical writing is the initial brainstorming phase. ChatGPT can assist by generating a list of key questions or themes related to your topic, helping you focus your research and argumentation.

Resource Recommendations

ChatGPT can also recommend academic journals, books, and online articles that can serve as valuable resources for your research article. This feature can save you hours of manual searching and ensure that your article is backed by credible sources.

The Step-by-Step Guide to Using AI and ChatGPT for Philosophical Research

Step 1: Define Your Research Question

Before you dive into the AI-assisted writing process, it's crucial to have a clear research question. This will serve as the foundation for your article and guide the AI in generating relevant content.

Step 2: Initial Brainstorming with ChatGPT

Use ChatGPT to brainstorm key points, arguments, and counterarguments related to your research question. This will give you a solid outline to work from.

Step 3: Resource Gathering

Utilize ChatGPT's resource recommendation feature to gather all the necessary academic papers, books, and articles that will support your arguments.

Step 4: Drafting the Article

With your outline and resources in hand, you can now start drafting your article. Use ChatGPT to help with language, structure, and even citation formatting.

Step 5: SEO Optimization for High Google Ranking

To ensure that your article ranks high on Google, focus on keyword optimization. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner to identify keywords related to your topic and incorporate them naturally into your article.

Best Practices for AI-Assisted Philosophical Writing

Maintain Academic Integrity

While AI can be a powerful tool, it's essential to maintain academic integrity. Always cite your sources and avoid plagiarism.

Quality Over Quantity

While it's tempting to let the AI generate large portions of your article, focus on quality. Edit rigorously and ensure that every sentence adds value to your argument.

User Experience Matters

For high Google rankings, user experience is key. Make sure your article is easy to read, with clear headings, subheadings, and bullet points where necessary.

Conclusion: The Future of Philosophical Research is AI-Assisted

The integration of AI and ChatGPT into the philosophical research process is not just a trend but a significant advancement that can enrich the quality of academic writing. By following this guide, you can create a research article that is not only intellectually rigorous but also SEO-optimized for high Google rankings.
