20 posts held, back to 12 April 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
Measured directly from 1 video with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
The Floating Man While I was reading Ibn Sina as philosophy, I found something I did not expect first. It wasn't really the floating man or "the soul" in his principals. It was how much of him came before those questions ever surfaced. He was writing on logic before he turned twenty. By his own account he read Aristotle's Metaphysics forty times and had it nearly memorized without understanding what it was for, unti…

A Compass, Not a Map Part 2: What to point the wanting at Some philosophies, like Buddhism and Stoicism, offer a similar conclusion: stop reading it. The Buddhists (in my limited understanding) went after the needle. Craving is the root of suffering, so still it, let the wanting go. The Stoics went after the reader. The needle points at things outside your control and settles nowhere anyway, so why organize your lif…
A Compass, Not a Map Part 1: Why we can't stop wanting Our brains are the tool for finding where to go next. But strictly speaking, they work like a compass, not a map. While a map shows you the destination, a compass only gives you a direction. You can follow the needle your whole life and never arrive anywhere, because "north" is not a place. If you walk all the way to the magnetic north pole, the one spot on Ear…
Personally I believe personality is treated as the least important part of a person's development when it should be treated as the most important, because it is the one thing that determines whether every other quality you have, your looks, your intelligence, your achievements, actually lands with anyone or just sits there unused. You can be gorgeous and no one wants to be around you. You can be brilliant and no one …

What's even understanding? Let it be said plainly, for it must be said. There are those who speak the word understanding as though it were a spell, and once uttered, their duty is finished. They say, "I understand you," and then walk back into the very same behavior that wounded you the day before. This is not understanding. This is a word wearing the mask of understanding while nothing beneath it moves. True under…
life was never obligated to be fair, comfortable, or understandable. the response it demands is not resentment but ownership. we ought not to ask why smth happened, but to decide what it will become. amor fati leaves no room for self pity. it requires facing reality without flinching and carrying one's fate without complaint. in a culture obsessed with escape, correction, and endless second chances, amor fati offers…
amor fati is often translated as "love of fate," but that translation softens what the idea actually demands. there is nothing gentle in it. most people spend their lives arguing with what has already happened. they revisit old mistakes, resent their circumstances, and imagine better versions of themselves who chose differently. amor fati rejects that entirely. it does not ask for acceptance because there is no alte…
Most people don't fail their dreams. They abandon them long before that. There are million good reasons why it doesn't make sense for you to start working on the life you dream about. You accept your circumstances thinking that one day you will have the time, resources and perfect opportunity to finally get started. I don't think that time will ever come. You will grow bitter and resentful that the world is not work…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @philosophize_w. 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. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
This channel appears in 1 seed channel's Telegram-generated recommendation list in total. Each is Telegram’s list for THAT channel, not this one — see how this is measured.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 12 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
