"Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits" is a work by Friedrich Nietzsche, consisting of a collection of aphorisms and reflections that delve into the depths of human nature, ethics, society, and knowledge.

Written after Nietzsche had ended his friendship with Richard Wagner and had been forced to leave academic life through ill health, Human, All Too Human (1878) can be read as a monument to his personal crisis. It also marks the point when he matured as a philosopher, rejecting the German romanticism espoused by Wagner and Schopenhauer and instead returning to sources in the French Enlightenment. Here he sets out his unsettling views in a series of 638 stunning aphorisms - assessing subjects ranging from art to arrogance, boredom to passion, science to vanity and women to youth. This work also contains the seeds of concepts crucial to Nietzsche's later philosophy, such as the will to power and the need to transcend conventional Christian morality. The result is one of the cornerstones of his life's work.

Human, All Too Human

Tommy Tenney's "The God Chasers" begins with a profound chapter titled "The Day I Almost Caught Him," which sets the thematic tone for the entire book. This chapter details a pivotal moment in Tenney's spiritual journey, emphasizing the intense, personal pursuit of God's presence over mere knowledge about Him.

Chapter 1: The Day I Almost Caught Him

The core message of this chapter revolves around the distinction between knowing about God and truly knowing God. Tenney challenges the reader with the idea that spiritual fulfillment is not found through academic or intellectual understanding alone but through a heartfelt pursuit of God's presence .

Central Theme

Tenney recounts a personal anecdote where he felt he was on the brink of physically encountering God during a church service. This experience left a lasting impact, highlighting a deep, insatiable desire to experience God beyond the conventional boundaries of religious practice .

Narrative and Personal Experience

A recurring theme in this chapter is the concept of spiritual hunger. Tenney uses his narrative to exemplify how this hunger is not easily satisfied by traditional church activities or doctrinal knowledge but by a relentless pursuit of God's presence.

Spiritual Hunger

Throughout the chapter, Tenney intersperses biblical references that support his points, particularly focusing on verses that encourage seeking God. He mentions Psalms and other scriptural passages to underline the biblical basis for seeking a more profound, personal encounter with God .

Biblical References and Implications

The chapter poses critical questions intended to provoke introspection and self-evaluation among readers. Tenney asks if they truly know God or are just familiar with the concepts about Him. This reflective questioning is designed to stir a deeper yearning for God's actual presence.

Critical Questions and Reflections

Practical advice on how to cultivate a deeper relationship with God is also offered. Tenney suggests setting dedicated times for seeking God, much like one would schedule regular appointments, thereby prioritizing this pursuit in daily life.

Practical Applications

Although largely experiential and anecdotal, Tenney’s approach in this chapter can be seen as both inspiring and controversial. He critiques the modern church’s focus on doctrine over experience, which may resonate with those feeling disconnected from traditional religious practices but may also challenge those who hold a high view of doctrinal integrity.

Theological Critique

Chapter 1 of "The God Chasers" is a compelling invitation to transition from a passive religious observance to an active, dynamic pursuit of God's presence. Tenney uses his personal spiritual journey as a catalyst to encourage others to seek a tangible, experiential relationship with God that transcends conventional religious activities.

Conclusion

"I'm not asking you how much you know about Me. ﻿I want to ask you, 'Do you really know Me? Do you really want Me?'"

Tommy Tenney describes 'God Chasers' as individuals who passionately pursue God's presence. He differentiates between pursuing the truth about God and pursuing His direct presence, stating that truth is the trace of God while revelation is about where God is at the moment.

A God chaser is a person whose passion for God's presence presses him to chase the impossible in hopes that the uncatchable might catch him. A child chases a loving parent until, suddenly, the strong arms of the father enfold the chaser. The pursuer becomes the captive; the pursued the captor. Paul put it this way: "I chase after that I may catch that which apprehended me" (Phil. 3:12).Job was a God chaser. He said, "Oh that I knew where I might find Him!" David was one; he said, "My soul followeth hard after Thee." Paul was one too: "That I may know Him..." The passionate paths of God chasers can be traced across the pages of history from Moses the stutterer, David the singer, and Paul the itinerant preacher, to contemporaries like A.W. Tozer, Leonard Ravenhill, and countless others who share one common bond: an insatiable hunger to know their Lord. These are people whose relentless, passionate pursuit of Christ often made them appear foolish in the eyes of others. Yet, having tasted His goodness and glimpsed the invisible, they could be satisfied with nothing less.Add your name to the list...become a God chaser. Who know? You might be one whom He catches.

Mathematics is not just a numbers game, it's a way of thinking.

Fooled by Randomness is a standalone book in Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s landmark Incerto series, an investigation of opacity, luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision-making in a world we don’t understand. The other books in the series are The Black Swan, Antifragile, Skin in the Game, and The Bed of Procrustes. Fooled by Randomness is the word-of-mouth sensation that will change the way you think about business and the world. Nassim Nicholas Taleb–veteran trader, renowned risk expert, polymathic scholar, erudite raconteur, and New York Times bestselling author of The Black Swan–has written a modern classic that turns on its head what we believe about luck and skill. This book is about luck–or more precisely, about how we perceive and deal with luck in life and business. Set against the backdrop of the most conspicuous forum in which luck is mistaken for skill–the world of trading–Fooled by Randomness provides captivating insight into one of the least understood factors in all our lives. Writing in an entertaining narrative style, the author tackles major intellectual issues related to the underestimation of the influence of happenstance on our lives. The book is populated with an array of characters, some of whom have grasped, in their own way, the significance of chance: the baseball legend Yogi Berra; the philosopher of knowledge Karl Popper; the ancient world’s wisest man, Solon; the modern financier George Soros; and the Greek voyager Odysseus. We also meet the fictional Nero, who seems to understand the role of randomness in his professional life but falls victim to his own superstitious foolishness. However, the most recognizable character of all remains unnamed–the lucky fool who happens to be in the right place at the right time–he embodies the “survival of the least fit.” Such individuals attract devoted followers who believe in their guru’s insights and methods. But no one can replicate what is obtained by chance. Are we capable of distinguishing the fortunate charlatan from the genuine visionary? Must we always try to uncover nonexistent messages in random events? It may be impossible to guard ourselves against the vagaries of the goddess Fortuna, but after reading Fooled by Randomness we can be a little better prepared.

Argues that the mind is an independently existing substance - the mental does not have extension in space, and the material cannot think. This is the type of Dualism most famously defended by Descartes, and it is compatible with most theologies which claim that immortal souls occupy an independent "realm" of existence distinct from that of the physical world.

Substance Dualism (or Cartesian Dualism)

sserts that mental events are causally inert (i.e. have no physical consequences). Physical events can cause other physical events, and physical events can cause mental events, but mental events cannot cause anything, since they are just causally inert by-products of physical events which occur in the brain (i.e. epiphenomena) of the physical world. This doctrine was first formulated by Thomas Henry Huxley in the 19th Century, although based on Thomas Hobbes' much earlier Materialism theories.

Epiphenomenalism

Argues that more than one predicate (how we describe the subject of a proposition) is required to make sense of the world, and that the psychological experiences we go through cannot be redescribed in terms of (or reduced to) physical predicates of natural languages.

3 Dualist schools of thought

Knowledge is the awareness and understanding of particular aspects of reality. It is the clear, lucid information gained through the process of reason applied to reality. The traditional approach is that knowledge requires three necessary and sufficient conditions, so that knowledge can then be defined as "justified true belief".

Knowledge

The property of sentences, assertions, beliefs, thoughts, or propositions that are said, in ordinary discourse, to agree with the facts or to state what is the case.false propositions cannot be known - for something to count as knowledge, it must actually be true. As Aristotle famously (but rather confusingly) expressed it: "To say of something which is that it is not, or to say of something which is not that it is, is false. However, to say of something which is that it is, or of something which is not that it is not, is true."

Truth

A subjective attitude that a proposition is true or a state of affairs is the case. One cannot know something that one doesn't even believe in, the statement "I know x, but I don't believe that x is true" is contradictory.

Beliefs

is the right standing of a person’s beliefs with respect to knowledge, though there is some disagreement about what that means precisely. Some argue that right standing refers to whether the beliefs are more likely to be true. Others argue that it refers to whether they are more likely to be knowledge. Still others argue that it refers to whether those beliefs were formed or are held in a responsible or virtuous manner.

What is Knowledge

The idea that one should stick to only educational content or a specific type of content is false at core.It's simple, educational, fun, family and friends all are important, but the problem lies in social media algorithms promoting things you like more than content that might be beneficial for you.Restrict pages you follow for fun such as memes, vines and celeb pages. Have a maximum limit of 10 on them.Do not scroll reels.

Rebuild Your Social Media With Relevancy

Don't be convinced looking at just one side of things.Everyone has different opinions about different things. You'll find both good and bad in it and guess what?? Both of them will have research to back it's answers, dive deep and pick the most logical answer that fits your set of circumstances and your body.If logic fails to convince you of the side to take then listen to your inner being, it has the knowledge of the universe. It knows what it wants and what is best for you! Relax and make your decision.

Question The Content

Have you ever visited the research papers to find out what's good and bad about the food you're eating? I'm sure you have. But, did it leave you confused with cancer, obesity and diabetes on one side and vitamins, minerals and protein on the other?If yes, then you need to look at two things, one is your belly area tightly does it feel good when it goes inside your body, does it cause bloating, excess fat, heatburn or other symptoms?

Food Paradox : The Researches Are Confusing You.

Sooner or later we will realise that the world has already moved to a place from which there is no return. The chaos and destruction we've brought upon mother nature will come back to us.Capitalism and Mass production are reasons to blame. If you're wondering, why's that? That's because apart from the essentials to live like food, water, clothes and shelter you don't really need anything. But these companies created demands and desires are ruthlessly claiming the minds of people. Luring them with feelings of pride and feeling of completion.Don't give in to what crowd believes in. Be Free!

Environmental Degradation Is The Real Deal!

"All demand is Created"

The face that people show on social media is not real and neither are their lives perfect. It's shrouded in their desire to make money out of your following and achieving a sense of superiority.Look for real people around you and not on a television or a mobile phone or a computer.

Don't Listen To Influencers

Most of us are hypocrites, we say we're gonna do the work but we don't, we say we are gonna start but we never do. We say it and we don't? Ever wondered why? Even when you know what is right you are unable to accomplish it? The problem lies in "saying it", don't say it out aloud until you do it so take action then say it.

Don't Lie To Yourself

Internet is bombarding us with information every minute, reducing attention spans like petrol in hot air. If you're thinking about the consequences... It's no less than lighting fire in that air. The result is low satisfaction, goldfish memory, indecisiveness etc. etc. What to do?

Soon to be a Netflix Original Series! "Wildly imaginative." —President Barack Obama on The Three-Body Problem trilogy This near-future trilogy is the first chance for English-speaking readers to experience this multiple-award-winning phenomenon from Cixin Liu, China's most beloved science fiction author. In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion-in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy. Only the human mind remains a secret. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead.
