Consciousness and the self-Identity?

 

Knowledge: The Most Confused Faction in Human History

Knowledge.

Everyone treats it like a deity, but nobody knows what it actually is.

It’s the central character in every discipline, yet the most questionable entity—because everyone is busy questioning it.

In my last blog, I ended with the statement that everyone has knowledge. Every culture has knowledge. Even today has knowledge—fancy theorists call it situated knowledge. Very poetic, very elegant, very useless—because if knowledge is supposed to bring equality, and it clearly does not, then sorry, this must not be knowledge at all.

Plato, Buddha, and the Sleeping Buddhas

Plato would say education must be equal for all.

Cute.

Meanwhile, every one of us is a sleeping Buddha, trying to wake up but being taught and influenced by—wait for it—the ignorant.

So how exactly are we expected to wake up?

Every knowledge is incomplete or partial, so the job is to bring it into equilibrium—which sounds beautiful until you realise philosophers contradict each other faster than WhatsApp University graduates.

Enter Rationalism and Intuition: The Philosophers Tried Their Best

I don’t know why I’m writing with such seriousness, because honestly, everyone is an artist, and knowledge is entirely subjective anyway.

A reader may understand my writing theoretically but can never understand the true emotion unless they experience it.

So critiquing art—or knowledge—is basically pointless.

Knowledge is not absorbed.
It is immersed into.

Scientific knowledge is very sensory—yet still incomplete. How do I know?

Because even trees and plants have knowledge.
We just aren’t developed enough to perceive it.

So what do we humans do?

We reach the brilliant conclusion:
“If I can’t sense it, it must not exist.”

Congratulations, humanity—you win the award for Most Arrogant Species to Ever Live.

Religion, Psychology, Metaphysics — Everyone Wants Knowledge, Nobody Gets It

Religion? A drama between good and evil, morality and liberation.
Knowledge of the soul is supreme, but the body blocks it—what a tragic screenplay.

Only when we truly see ourselves will we stop projecting garbage onto others.
Till then, enjoy projection mapping—psychological version.

Knowledge haunts every discipline:

• In psychology — it becomes subjective response and behaviour.

• In metaphysics — it becomes existential crisis hour.

Human existence? Accidental.
God’s existence? Essence.

Remove God? Everything collapses.
What a dependency issue.

Buddha’s Warning and the Logical Circus

Every time I drown in knowledge, I hear Buddha whisper:
“If you don’t ask the right question, I won’t answer any question.”

Then enters logic, whose obsession is truth.

History of epistemology journeys from ancient → medieval → modern → contemporary philosophers.
But honestly, I’m tired of all these fellows, so today let’s skip to the contemporary drama.

Hegel, Schelling, Fichte — The Leaders of 

Hegel’s Absolute Idealism?
God the thesis becomes matter the antithesis, then synthesis is reunion with God.

Beautiful.
Confusing.
Deep shit.

Who told Hegel that human beings have this kind of brain capacity?

Even I stare at myself sometimes mesmerised—how am I understanding what I am understanding?

Meanwhile, dualism is frying my mind.
If philosophers really loved humanity, they would have simplified this stuff before publishing it.

Sometimes I wish Schelling was alive today—his freedom is refreshing.
Better than Fichte, who speaks morality like he’s issuing traffic fines.

Schelling says:

• We understand ourselves first

• Then the world

• We create, shape, mirror the absolute

• We bring something new into being

Everything unconscious in creation becomes conscious through us.

So yes, everyone is an artist of reality.
Except some artists draw chaos and others draw meaning—both are accepted because epistemology doesn’t judge, it only confuses.

And Now… Philosophical Chemistry

Honestly, some week soon I want to write on philosophical chemistry.
Because if epistemology drives me insane, at least chemistry will give me predictable reactions.

(Unless I mix things wrong—and then boom, spiritual enlightenment.)

The Real Wisdom Bomb

The experiential and totally willing acquisition of experience—that, to me, is supreme knowledge.
Because only that gives freedom, insight, transformation.

The rest? Footnotes pretending to be enlightenment.

So Is This Knowledge Or Nonsense?

Let’s be honest—after reading all this:

• Have we solved knowledge?

• Have we defined knowledge?

• Have we understood knowledge?

Absolutely not.

But maybe that is knowledge.

To know that we don’t know.
To accept that epistemology exists purely to irritate human beings until they achieve enlightenment—or insanity—whichever comes first.

So I leave you with three questions (that Buddha would approve of):

1. What if knowledge is not meant to be mastered, but lived?

2. What if the sleeping Buddha is awake, but society keeps drugging it back to sleep?

3. What if knowledge is not the problem—our obsession with owning it is?

Until next week—when I might blow up philosophy with chemistry.
