141 " If the old generation is weak-spirited, while the young generation is smooth-tongued, it means that it is not case that you are in the right place at the right time with the right people-- you can hardly do something significant in this social spatio-temporal continuum. "

142 " Before blindly accepting the idea and building your life on it, think about the personality and lifestyle of the author. Sometimes his psychological disorder can be represented in his idea and can ruin your life through them. "
143 " To prevent the poisoning of the human heart, it is important that a person cultivate inside himself some 'immune' system against history and politics. "
144 " Flattery is directly proportional to authoritarianism. For this reason, flattery can be said to be one of the main signs of the non-existence of freedom and democracy in the political system. The more "honeyed words", the greater the deprivation of personal liberty. "
145 " In my opinion, at the present time there can not be a native language in the strict sense of the word. In my vision, the native language is a language in which you can enjoy the power of deeper thinking, it is more natural to express your inner thoughts, to improve yourself. This can not be mandatory, no external condition can automatically determine which one should be your native language. It should be the object of free choice, and only you can choose it, simply because the language is an internal phenomenon, but not external. Only your brain can determine which language is best for expressing your thoughts. Be yourself, ignore all external factors, get freedom to choose your native language, which suits you best. "
146 " Science has more questions than answers to any topic. Any answer entails more than one question. Therefore, to be a scientist is to be ready to live with this suffering. "
147 " A person who is much more talkative cannot have a true male brain as a biological organ, because high levels of male sexual hormones kill the neurons of male brain circuits that are responsible for communication and instead grow the neurons in the sexual area. In most cases, if not all, sexual hormones allow a man to talk a lot if and only if his speech contains some subtle sexual implication and the ultimate goal of the conversation is to pick up a woman but not communication itself. "
148 " Do not concentrate on your sufferings. Concentrate on your hope. Hope means life. "
149 " Your personal identity over time is dependent on mental connectedness of your being at an earlier time and your being at a later time. If there is no right way for this connectivity, this will mean that your inner world as a whole system has already changed over a period of time and for that reason you are not yet the same person. Make it sure whether you still have the same personality or not before claiming that you are one and the same person. "
150 " What is the use of religion in the modern world? In my mind, religion can be of no use for any intellectual in the sense what is directly written there. Whatever literally means in religion can independently be thought by the rational mind, of course, if there is any need to think over such mythology. Most of what rational mind can obtain in scientific way cannot even be discernible by religious thinking. There is no need to emphasize that the fundamental base of the modern world is out of the province of religious thinking. The language of religion itself is out of date. The whole description of afterdeath, for example, seems trivial nowadays. Imagine that afterdeath you go to pass the examination of ‘goodness’ or ‘badness’ before the Holy Spirit as it is shown in religion. He asks what you have done in so-and-so time and space, and you answer miraculously remembering every detail in your life, fully visualizing everything before your eyes. Nothing can be forgotten, nothing can be hidden. I don’t claim, whether it is true or false, at least here and now, I want to emphasize the fact that the language of such description is out of date. Considering that the history of religion and the Holy Scripture goes back long, long before the emergence of the modern world, it is explainable. Whatever is written there coincides with pre-modern world thinking. For instance, if a religion emerged nowadays, its Holy Scripture would contain concepts and ideas according to modern world thinking. There would be no need for questioning you by the Holy Spirit. In my eyes, there would be rather a description of the computer lab with ‘angels’ sitting at the computer and checking your memory-card in which is written all information about your life. The brain, which can pass the examination of ‘goodness’ would be connected to ‘heaven’ program system, which in turn would send to that brain positive signal as if your body is really experiencing sexual or other kind of pleasures as it is described in religion. Similarly, if you brain fails in that examination, it would be connected to ‘hell’ program system sending to your brain negative signals as if your body is really undergoing the punishment known by religion. So can modern religion be of the modern age. The human mind can never entirely grasp what would happen after death, so why should you poison your mind with mythology from ages past? "
151 " You are what is going on in your brain. Everything else is illusion. "
152 " You can never take it for guaranteed what is happening beyond the mind. Whatever you think is real and true strongly depends on what is going on inside the mind. There is no moral principle, or ethical code outside the mind. Whatever you assume as a moral duty or ethical norm is a product of the human mind. If there is not mind, there cannot be any such kind of things. You can reorganize and rearrange them in your mind again and again, but you cannot completely destroy kill them. You need some underlying principles of your life in order to distinguish more essential things from less essential ones, thus giving a certain meaning to your life. And a science in itself cannot give any meaning to your life, religion would rather make a fool of you, but only you can do this for yourself, using your brain, critically reflecting and all doubting, until you find your own truth. Science supports you with its immense empirical facts and theories for their interpretations, religion fools around with its illusive and pseudo-reality, but philosophy stimulate you to find the ultimate goal of your mundane existence. "
153 " İf one day we have it in our power to transmit human consciousness to another physical 'body', it would mean that human existence will no longer limited to biological death. Maybe, the transmission of consciousness automatically occurs afterdeath and for that reason internal world of human being becomes a part of the Eternal being, without regard to what can be perceived under this term, but this transmission act is still outside the human awareness. "
154 " War is not only a loss of at least one generation, but also a psychological massacre of several generations. "
155 " There is a serious difference between the fact that you want to be free and that you want to demonstrate that you are "free. "
156 " You don't have to be religious to make the world a better place to live -- you have to be just a human being. "
157 " Philosophy is the art of ironic thinking. You can have the skills of critical and analytical thinking. However, without a trace of irony, it is impossible to engage in philosophy. "
158 " 26. It is not essential which idea you believe in. It is essential how this idea manifests itself in your behaviour. "
159 " I used to disbelieve in fate, but now I realize that it exists. I still do not believe that it is written, in somewhere, by a supernatural being. This is our brain, our fate is hidden in our brain. We cannot do anything in the strict sense of the term, our brain does it instead of us. Our brain automatically decides, for example, when and with whom we are going to fall in love; what we are going to seek in life in order to give some meaning to our life and feel somehow personal happiness. We can only be aware of a small part of these complex processes. Just our brain determines our fate, we cannot choose our brain, that is, its design, the proportion of concrete locations there, its functional activity level, etc. This is absolutely impossible, we are only born with it unwillingly. In that context, our fate had already been determined before we were born. Trying to change the fate means trying to change the design of the brain. "
160 " What you desire for others, the Universe desires for you. This is the Principle of Cosmic Ordering. "
