It is generally believed that moral values are based on principles innate to the human psyche. To many of us, the ideals of equality and justice seem as natural as the desire to survive and prosper.
However, if one were to look beneath the surface of the supposed ‘noble human values’, one would find that the basis of these morals is not rooted in abstract ideas but in the exerci…

While it may seem that a society that accepts every viewpoint with equal respect would be a utopia, the ground reality is that not everyone is willing to work together for a common goal.
No matter how good a system is, there will always be flaws. There will always be people who would exploit the goodness of others for their nefarious purposes.
Complacency, apathy and tolerance for t…

Human nature is inherently prone to divisiveness and conflict. Therefore, it seems logical that encouraging tolerance of diverse beliefs, opinions and behaviour would reduce, and possibly minimise, conflict and resulting violence.
However, even a cursory glance at the world around us reveals an entirely different state of affairs. It is apparent that many, if not most, people advocate…

Countless prominent philosophers have emphasised the importance of rational thinking in human life. However, we often abandon reason in favour of the most pernicious enemy of intellect and rationality – commonly known as dogma.
The term ‘dogma’ refers to a set of principles or beliefs that have been accepted as being true, and one may not debate or challenge them. Authority figures and even common …

Human civilisation relies on certain principles and conventions that are held to be the foundations of a just society. It is widely believed that in the absence of these ideals, humans shall fall prey to their chaotic, brute nature. The two most significant of these ideals are: Equality and Justice.
It is undeniable that humans intrinsically crave power - over their own dest…

During his trial in Athens around 399 BCE, the renowned Greek philosopher Socrates declared that “the unexamined life is not worth living” (ὁ δὲ ἀνεξέταστος βίος οὐ βιωτὸς ἀνθρώπῳ). He had been accused of impiety and corrupting the youth through his relentless questioning of the Athenian beliefs. His defiance ultimately led to his death sentence.
It is pertinent to examine the reasons b…

One of the most notable quotes in Philosophy is René Descartes’s first principle: Cogito, ergo sum. It’s a Latin phrase which means “I think, therefore I am”. That which cannot think, does not exist. Ancient Greek philosophers such as Aristotle and Parmenides have expressed similar views regarding consciousness and existence.
While there have been critiques of the said phrase and what it intrinsica…

As humans, we often assume that wisdom is universal—that what’s true in one man’s life must apply equally well to another. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Imagine a primitive man (Mr A), who has spent his entire life in the cold solitude of snowy mountains. His routine involves seeking warmth, conserving body heat, and surviving icy winds. Let’s now picture him talking to an…

In the course of our lives, we are often tempted to act upon our innate desires, even when they conflict with prevailing wisdom. Many times, we find ourselves yearning for things and actions that threaten to disrupt the social order and the professed civility of the modern world.

Most people hold themselves back from real happiness. Most people don’t want to be happy, which is why they aren’t. They just don’t realize this is the case. People are programmed to chase their foremost desire at almost any cost. (Imagine the adrenaline-fueled superhuman powers people develop in life-or-death emergencies.) It’s just a matter of what that foremost desire is. Often enough, i…

View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
