Consciousness the generator of the thoughts. Consciousnesses combined into the whole, separated into the single consciousnesses each one of us is endowed with. The parts that make up the whole.



Rather than considering thought as just an individual act, Culture in Mind considers it in a social and cultural context.
Provocatively, this suggests that our thoughts do not function in a vacuum: our minds are not alone.

our minds are not alone .. diverse ..implications ..

our thoughts do not function in a vacuum .. thoughts .. being our pure essence .. our ..connection with the ..realms .. beyond us .. beyond one ..

do not function in a vacuum .. if the vacuum .. does not represent ..and is .. describes ..the beyond .. whatever that is .. and in whatever way ..it is pictured .. takes shape ..in each one of us .. that is not .. where our thoughts ..function .. isolated from one ..another .. the thought itself .. and what creates the thought .. what bears the thought .. the medium by which the thought materiliazes ..

if ..and without ..ifs ..consciousness ..is the generator of the thoughts .. consciousnesses ..combined .. common ground .. the whole .. separated ..into the single consciousnesses .. each one of us ..is endowed with ..  the parts .. that make up the whole ....

all the more .. while .. these thoughts enter one's mind .. it is no ..small wonder  ..to be found by any .. so revolting and disgusting .. to humiliate ..the thought-carriers ..to subject and treat like garbage .. collateral damage in profiteering schemes .. by the world's ..usurpers ..


and to have the audacity .. to refer to it ..as the human condition .. societies and religions alike .. invented .. support and perpetrate such approach ..

 .. this is ..and no other .. mind-numbing ..dumbfounding and inevitable ..

there are too many .. they go cheaper by the dozen .. use and abuse ..at will .. there are more to come from where they came from ..

the human individual .. just ..a mere pawn .. to toy with

 .. the pedestal back to whom it belongs to .. the human individual ..

.. if kings and queens .. have been given the license ..to rule people .. by the holy church .. they had to come with the idea .. of god .. in the first place .. to invent god ..out of no-where ..

.. and they made ..god .. modeled upon their very own image ..

reflections on ..things that we know without knowing


What does philosophy teach us that empirical science does not? The things we know without knowing it, says Žižek, the silent presuppositions that constantly shape and inform our perception. It's important to be able to observe our surroundings and act on them, but we also need to understand what we're seeing and why we're seeing it. "The danger today is precisely a kind of a bland, pragmatic activism. You know, like when people tell you, oh my God, children in Africa are starving and you have time for your stupid philosophical debates. Let’s do something. I always hear in this call there are people starving. I always discern in this a more ominous injunction. Do it and don't think too much. Today, we need thinking."

What does philosophy teach us that empirical science does not?


The things we know without knowing it, says Žižek, the silent presuppositions that constantly shape and inform our perception.

.. things that we know without knowing ..

..realising .. fathoming .. delving into .. the ..pure essence of it .. a new .. dumbfounding perspective ..

..we know .. but we do not know ..how ..we know .. if this does not make us ..stupid .. then what is ..

reduces .. knowledge ..as we know it .. and profusely use it .. as ..regurgitated nonsense .. which we slap the label ..knowledge .. merely based on how many times is repeated ..and by how many .. and ..most importantly .. by who .. another one's ..résumé ..

.. deprives us ..of our agency .. the ultimate machine, the human unit, ..unable ..incapable .. to fathom ..itself ..

we .. have the nerve .. to talk down .. machines ..animals ..their intelligence .. only .. to find out that we are not at all different ..

creationist .. created by .. it feels like it .. whether we ..like it ..or not ..

a spiral .. a loop .. what is ..created .. creates .. the human ..creates the machine .. what has created the human .. has been created by .. another ..

It's important to be able to observe our surroundings and act on them,

... but we also need to understand what we're seeing and why we're seeing it.

what we know, without knowing .. the need to understand ..what we're seeing ..and why we're seeing it

"The danger today is precisely a kind of a bland, pragmatic activism.

You know, like when people tell you, oh my God, children in Africa are starving and you have time for your stupid philosophical debates. Let’s do something.

.. they will keep starving .. as the reasons why they are starving .. evades us .. are not taken into consideration .. being mere .. patches in the world canvass ..

I always hear in this call there are people starving. I always discern in this a more ominous injunction. Do it and don't think too much. Today, we need thinking."
