How can I describe my life to you? I think a lot, listen to classical music. Curious about philosophy, art, machine learning and I'm fond of books. www.medium.com/@augustudoh

Zizek: Language is a tool for deception. The later Wittgenstein: Language has no fixed center. Robert B. Brandom: The core of language is the practice of giving and asking for reasons. There are clearly many different perspectives on "What is language?"

I've been studying Heidegger for about a month now, and I constantly feel that his ideas are so straightforward that I end up overthinking and complicating them unnecessarily.

I believe the third meaning of the word "Aufhebung" best captures the essence of Hegel's three-step dialectic. It also conveys the sense of "elimination"—to erase something completely.

My father used to say, "If you can live through February, you'll live another year." There’s something deeply aching in those words, a quiet weight of sadness and struggle that lingers.

Having principles or being kind doesn’t make you weak. Weakness lies in not knowing how to respond when others exploit your principles.

If language holds meaning, the Dutch phrase "op slag verliefd," loosely translated as love-smitten, reveals love’s more violent, uncontrollable side. Unless we distinguish sudden love from cultivated love, we must admit that simple language fails to resolve such "metaphysical" questions definitively

Love is all and love is everyone" redefined love for me—not just romance, but love for humanity, strangers, surroundings, and self. It’s universal fellowship and positivity, a powerful force. “How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people?” reminds us we’re all beautiful, all connected.

Apartheid used multiculturalism as justification. Love can drive destruction; terrorism claims love as motive. Violence signals weakness—true strength needs no force.

Germans, Soviets, and North Koreans loved their leaders, leading to loss of control.Marx admired capitalism but wanted its success for all. Britain preserved India’s culture to exploit it. Malcolm X’s "X" symbolized lost identity; he became Muslim.

If you examine Pattberg’s works, he critiques terms like “Chinese philosophy” as Eurocentric. Philosophy, rooted in Europe, imposes foreign standards on Chinese thought, placing it at a disadvantage by judging it through a lens it did not create.
