🧑🏻‍🏫🍎Sometimes what we call exhaustion isn't really about doing too much. It's about spending time on things that don't speak to who we are. Meetings we don't believe in, conversations we don't care for, people who don't connect, goals we never chose for ourselves. That kind of tiredness runs deeper. It's not physical. It's existential. You're not tired because you're overwhelmed. You're tired because you're under-connected to meaning. When your actions drift too far from your values, fatigue shows up as a signal. The solution isn't always to do less. It's to do what matters more. #PhilosophyInAction #ModernWisdom #QuietClarity #MelvinPoh

💭✍🏻We often imagine a self behind the mind, a stable observer pulling the strings. But look closer. The thinker you believe in, your sense of "I", is just another thought, appearing and disappearing like the rest. This is the illusion: that we are the ones thinking, when in truth, we are being thought. Once you see this, you stop trying to control every thought and start observing them with clarity. That's where freedom begins. #EmpiricalThought #ModernPhilosophy #SelfInquiry #ThoughtsAreNotYou #MelvinPoh #PhilosophyInAction

The Philosophical Cure To Boredom | Philosophy Of Boredom

In this evening chat, I ponder on the power of beliefs. Beliefs have incredible power to shape our societies and our very lives. Yet we have never really stopped to think whether the beliefs we carry are actually good for us. Even if we wanted to do that, how would we know which beliefs are good or bad? Is there a proper approach to this? I share some thoughts drawn from my reading of Abu Nasr Al-Farabi. [0:00] Introduction [0:37] Personal Beliefs?

How Do We Know If Our Beliefs Are Bad? | The Philosophy Of Bad Beliefs

In this evening chat, I take a look at whether our online personas and identities are really an accurate extension of us and who we are. Often times we are told that people are fake online; in truth, there is much more to be explored in how we define ourselves. We will look at the work of Erving Goffman and William James in our discussions. [0:00] A Personal Message [2:06] Introduction [3:10] We Are All Online [3:54] The Flat Planes Of The Internet?
