āAngry at the tech CEOs who have benefited from the scientific research that has enabled their technology empires, but have mounted no opposition to the cuts. People like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos are conspicuously silent. We should call them out,ā
āA human lifetime is very limited in time and space, compared to the universe.ā In a way, it is humbling, but itās also a relief to know that thereās a larger structure of which weāre a part that is so grand. Our imperfections, our struggles, our travails, when you put them in perspective, they somehow donāt seem so traumatic.ā
Weāre all emotional animals. And when thereās a crisisāwhen thereās no time to study the situation for weeksāwe have to decide **now**. We react through our understanding and experiences. So yes, that means weāre all idiots, vulnerable to corruption.
Thatās why we created **scientific methods**: to overcome the unchangeable parts of our inner selves.
A person who can clearly see and admit theyāre corrupted, selfish, and greedy? They can still create techniques to control themselves. When a person clearly sees that they **canāt change anything**, thatās the first step.
I think the most horrible thingsāwhatās happened and what will happenācome from this sickness in our minds. **And it is unchangeable.**
Environment Scientist(Student), I like positivity news, fitness, Olympic lifting, Linux, Fediverse, art, music, books, science, universe, activism.
Science is not media. I try to avoid, and I am not interested in Media politics, Media religion, media marketing, media economics and trades of those medians.

As meditating- listening to myself (Krishnamurti).
Memento mori ā āRemember that you must die.ā
Memento amoris ā āRemember love.ā
We are concerned with observing the actual facts, the āwhat isā. To observe āwhat isā very clearly and to see the full significance of those facts, we must look at it without our conditioning. That is where the difficulty is going to lie, because you have opinions, you have values, you approach them as a Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, or what you will, with your nationality, with your peculiar idiosyncrasies, and these prevent you from observing, from looking. Observation is an art. It is not easily learnt. One has observed neither the sunset nor the stars, neither the trees nor the facts, outwardly or inwardly. So, if we are going to travel together ā and I hope we will ā we have to observe scientifically, ruthlessly and with great intelligence.
From Collected Works, Vol. 14 (krishnamurti)
āThe intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.ā ā Albert Einstein
