From tomorrow I'll continue to post a few highlights from the series "Suburban Dreams 65 Photographs". www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/52638166831/in/datepost...
That final selection includes suburban scenes after the sun has disappeared over the horizon.
Today, the third Thursday in November, World Philosophy Day is celebrated. I will wear the same shirt in RL with the image of Betrand Russell. The pic is taken in the Library of Alexandria, where Hypatia researched, wrote and taught her classes.
SAPERE AUDE!
Tracks vanishing in the mist have a strange symbolism. Like to never take a train to some other world as master Miyazaki had portayed. The train would be full of spooky strangers anyway. Only ghosts could travel to such a mist. And yet, the hope lingers. Or is it a fear of that actually happening one day? To fly away or to become a ghost, there is no difference...
Approaching the philosophy where "less is more", this shot puts a young man completely dressed in black at the centre of the scene, perfectly perpendicular to the black and white lines of the wall behind him. The young man walks with a confident and slow step, with a well-upright posture, as if to underline his confident presence, immersed in probably listening to his favourite music, as can be seen from the headphones on his ears, and intent on continuing his walk towards a destination unknown to the observer. A minimalist scene that nevertheless seeks strength in the contrast of lines, the horizontal ones of the wall and the vertical ideological one represented by the young man.
Die gefährlichste aller Weltanschauungen ist die Weltanschauung der Leute, welche die Welt nicht angeschaut haben.

The most dangerous of all philosophies is the belief of the people who have not looked at the world .

As every year, on the third Thursday of November, we celebrate World Philosophy Day. We are few philosophers and not very well known, but our activity of reflection and teaching of this wonderful discipline is increasingly important in these complicated times we live in.
I personally teach philosophy to young people and it is the most exciting activity I have ever done.
Socrates, Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, Kant are the great minds that will help us to understand ourselves. Sapere Aude!
Happy World Philosophy Day
There was a Voice that spokes:
Do not be afraid of the fog,
go in,
with good intentions,
and learn your lessons well,
so the wisdom will take you by the hand,
and lead you on paths of light.
Good Intentions-G.Rafferty
“Just because you pretend the universe doesn't have teeth doesn't mean you won't get eaten in the end.”

Paul Russell is a professor in philosophy at Lund University, where he is Director of the Lund/Gothenburg Responsibility Project [LGRP]. Paul Russell is also a professor in philosophy at the University of British Columbia, where he has been teaching since 1987.
It's all here, the light and dark side of life, of us. The bud, stands for potential. The petals, protection or a cage? Tell me more little flower.

Today I am using Zen philosophy with my camera. It's a kind of therapy to be sure, but as the great photographer Dorothea Lange put it:
“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”
What a sage she was!
In Buddhist practice there is a lot of emphasis placed on lineage. That is, tracing the influences of teachers back through the generations. I try to do this as much as possible with my photography. I genuinely give thanks for those photographers who have influenced me and taught me through their own work. I'm slowing down, taking far fewer photographs, but making each one count (film has taught me that). In the process I am learning about the process of life itself.
How easily we miss the really important things to see because we are desperate to get "the killer shot". The recently departed and very dear photographer, Sebastião Salgado, once said that we don't take a photograph, we earn a photograph. I won't unpack that enormous statement today, except to say that it mirrors the fact that life is a gift, and that seeing life that way enables us to capture the eternal moment when it really reveals itself to us.
So what is the lineage of this photograph (and the others I have posted today)? Well, I've mentioned David Ulrich before (see the link below), and his wonderful book, Zen Camera: Creative Awakening with a Daily Practice in Photography. It was one of the first photography books I bought, when I took up using a camera seriously again after many years. One of David's teachers was Minor White (1908-1976), who was influenced and encouraged in his photography by the most influential American photographer ever, Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946). We all stand on the shoulders of giants, but in the end we must make our own way in the world.
And as the famous Japanese koan reminds us, "If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him." The eternal moment, must become our moment, and we must see it with our own eyes.
I always wonder why birds stay in the same place
When they can fly anywhere on the earth
Then I ask myself the same question
... as I showed Lean the raw version of this photo:

Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies is a 2014 book by the Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom from the University of Oxford. It argues that if machine brains surpass human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could replace humans as the dominant lifeform on Earth. Sufficiently intelligent machines could improve their own capabilities faster than human computer scientists, and the outcome could be an existential catastrophe for humans.
#1 Believe and it shall be yours.
#2 Where there is hope there can be faith. Where there is faith, miracles can occur.
#3 Hope is desperation. Faith is relaxation.
#4 May we grow beautiful as we grow wise.
#5 The one great thing about life is laughter
#6 How you climb up the mountain is just as important as how you get down the mountain. And, so it is with life, which for many of us becomes one big gigantic test followed by one big gigantic lesson. In the end, it all comes down to one word. grace. It's how you accept winning and losing, good luck and bad luck, the darkness and the light.
#7 One of the best tools for longevity and good health is not just taking a walk outdoors, but taking your walk while holding the hand of God. When we walk in gratitude for each and every moment, we empower ourselves by empowering our spirits. When we breathe in nature through our eyes, ears and lips, we become certain that not only are our souls eternal, but that God knows how to manage our lives, our troubles, our worries and our days better than we do. So today and everyday "let go and let God".
El paseo de los filósofos (哲学の道 Tetsugaku-no-michi, lit. Camino de la Filosofía) es un camino peatonal que sigue un canal con muchos cerezos en Kioto, Japón entre los templos Ginkaku-ji y Nanzen-ji. Fue abierto en 1890 y se amplió en 1912, el camino sigue el curso de un canal de riego poco profundo que trae agua del Canal del Lago Biwa. La ruta recibió su nombre gracias a dos filósofos japoneses y profesores de la Universidad de Kioto del siglo XX, Nishida Kitaro y Hajime Tanabe, que se cree que lo utilizaron a diario para hacer ejercicio. El camino pasa por varios templos y santuarios, como Hōnen-en, Ōtoyo Shrine, o Eikan-dō Zenrin-ji. Se tarda aproximadamente 30 minutos en dar el paseo completo, aunque muchas personas tardan más al pausar a ver todo lo que hay a lo largo del camino. En el extremo septentrional del paseo hay vistas buenas del cercano Daimonji. El paseo es un destino popular para turistas y lugareños, especialmente durante hanami.

The Philosopher's Walk (哲学の道, Tetsugaku-no-michi, lit. Path of Philosophy) is a pedestrian path that follows a cherry-tree-lined canal in Kyoto, Japan between Ginkaku-ji and Nanzen-ji. First opened in 1890 and extended again in 1912, the path follows the course of a shallow irrigation channel bringing water from the Lake Biwa Canal. The route is so-named because two 20th-century Japanese philosophers and Kyoto University professors Nishida Kitaro and Hajime Tanabe are thought to have used it for daily exercise. The path passes a number of temples and shrines such as Hōnen-in, Ōtoyo Shrine, and Eikan-dō Zenrin-ji. It takes about 30 minutes to complete the walk, although many people spend more time visiting the sights along the way. On the northern part of the walk, there are good views of the nearby Daimonji. The walk is a popular destination for tourists and locals, especially during hanami.
