Ludwig Feuerbach in “The Essence of Christianity” said “man first sees his nature as if out of himself before he finds it in himself” when arguing that god is a projection of man himself. This concept or mechanism that man was fooled to know himself through another entity can be used to design a system that acquires self-knowledge through what it had fancied as if properties of external entities. The key is that it should be able to periodically allow itself to be deceived through a mechanism that it can later undo saving the self-knowledge acquired in the process! Is it useful? Maybe not but it’s definitely fun to implement.

از خواب که بيدار شد، حس کرد اگر موهای سرش را خود کوتاه کند کار مقدسی خواهد بود. فکر کردن به جايی نرسيد؛ زور بيشتر روی حس هم. کمی که گذشت، روزش شروع شد و دقيقا چهارده ساعت بعد با موهای بلند خوابيد.

«آدمی که ذهنش زياد کار ميکند، دهنش به خدا يا خودش باز ميشود.»

تصور کنيد که اين جمله در يک هوای گرگ و ميش و درحاليکه لامسه نرمی حس ميکند، به گوشتان ميخورد.

It’s a great thing that you were born, what a fun night. San Francisco War Memorial Opera House is an awesome and technological art center; architecture was magnificent, and the stage at their command. Nutcracker was a great two hours of no talks, just movements and music; followed by a dinner of laughter and talks at Max’s. It’s funny how we enjoy San Francisco nights, its thrilling hills and the lighted trees, but not its days!
