A recent book I picked up on a stroll through one of the last remaining book stores in Manhattan turned out to be interesting, eye-opening and frightening all at once. “The Knowledge Illusion”…
PSYCHOANALYZING DONALD TRUMP
I’m going to psychoanalyze Donald Trump. In so doing, I may seem to be violating the “Goldwater Rule” that enjoins psychotherapists from diagnosing public…

In the previous post I outlined the dangers of our human inclination to believe, in the sense of setting up mental…
If someone asks you what are the important things which we need to live on earth, what will you answer? One might say Oxygen or water. Some might say food, shelter and clothing. One might go one step further and will say — ‘One love is all we need’. But is that all we need? I think we live with lot…
Innocence: July 1994
You woke up today and realised that all those articles and pseudo-experts had been feeding you a lie. You are not perfect as you are. You have flaws. Flaws are flaws. This is a truism, a frustrating tautology.
This is completely true! :)
Thank you for this article, Erick. At the moment, I’m trying to map down my personal story so far and at the same time I’m trying to observe how I live, what I do and how I feel doing some activities. Nevertheless, up until now, I had yet to find a kind of systematic method. I think I’ll give…
You’re talking with friends about life before cellphones, and someone mentions walkie-talkies. “Well, you see,” this guy says, “they…
The mind is a wonderful thing. It allows us to do amazing things such as send people into space and get them back safely, cure illnesses, and philosophise about the meaning of life.
Society loves a pretty youthful face. We’ve been unfairly conditioned since childhood by advertising and societies obsession of looking beautiful. We have to have the right degree, a decent body, and beautiful skin. Not only do we need to be successful, we need to have natural beautiful skin.
We can either identify and embrace our innate proclivity toward the sacrifice of self, as ecstasy unto agony, or…
Is motivation is absolutely necessary to be successful? The answer to that one is probably yes, so, now let me ask you, how do you define motivation? What are the odds that the guy standing 40 ft away…
There are 2 parts of your invisible self
One part is conscious and other part is unconscious
Imagine you are too furious about somebody, something in you wants to hit or harm that person, but some other voice in you stops it.
People determine their greatness сomparing yourself against the background of other people.
You’re in your own circle. No one can visit.
When King Trump rationalized his decision to withdraw from the Paris climate accord he used a line of reasoning that went something like this: the treaty imposed unfair economic restrictions on the US over other countries. As a result the other…

“If there was some more conditional love as I was growing up, would that have pushed me harder and made me more driven?”
Let’s say that conditional love in childhood can help to make a person more driven (I think you can argue either way on that). Does this drive necessarily maximise potential? Oftentimes I think not, since…

Turning 30
What it really means to be 30? Well, not yet 30,but inching closer to it makes me wonder Am I the only one? Who still can’t get enough of ice creams, goofy faces, lame PJs and pajamas, who thinks life is beautiful thing to happen and this world a beautiful place to be. Suddenly reality hits you hard and you…

If Alfred E. Neuman could ever be insulted, this would be what caused it. Alfred is definitely not stupid, delusional or condescending to others. Everyone loves him. but, Trump is stupid, delusional and condescending to others. Everyone hates him.
Maybe the drawing was meant to show Alfred escaping the personification of the ultimate delusional, psychotic, abyss of endless insanity.
