Wk 8: Philosophy in 5 minutes.

The videos are extremely informative even when they are less than 5 minutes. That is incredible. My favorite one would have to be Truth Lies. Why? The truth is that truth lies. No matter what we want to believe, we always tend to believe what sounds like nonsense which is what most of us do. We cant handle the truth like it said. We just cant and that is why our human mind feels better believing things that we know, are impossible or unrealistic. One quote that i really enjoyed from one the videos, "Everything has been figured out, except how to live"- Jean Paul Sartre. Have we figured out how to live or why we live? do you think we will ever find out? We will? I have no clue and that is why i leave to my wonderful philosophers to answer these questions so we will get a better understanding why. I think that is quite funny how most of us cant think like they can. Well actually, we can if we want to but we refuse ourselves to do so. I think ever individual can do whatever they want if they put the right time and dedication to it. Another thing that blows my mind is fundamentalism really a disease? or do others that do not believe in thinking in that kind of way say that? Can believing in a religion and a God be really a mental problem? Why does brainwash work among us and why dont we realize it as a problem? that is my question amongst the field of religion and science.
