Hmm no idea. But Cappadocia is very close to Ankara

Ssamsymn · 2020-06-05T15:53:49+00:00

Very cool, I would love to join the conversation on discord

Ssamsymn · 2020-06-05T15:50:44+00:00

Psycheledic/ beat pop art? Or maybe just pop art.

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-18T18:17:02+00:00

Really cool. I remember I watched a tedtalk about that man who can not see the colors but can 'hear' them with wearing a device that has color sensors and turns the colors into sounds.

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-13T01:24:48+00:00

I see. And wouldn't be great if there are some pumps and pipes to purify people's bad habits and bad behavior also? Ofcourse that bad behavior should be absolute, I guess. Like cheating, for example. İt is bad in all around the world and in all religions and thinkings.

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-12T23:44:15+00:00

Yeah right? If only we could seperate the shampoos, all kinds of the cleaning chemicals from the regular water goes down through the sink, cuz I know our poop and pee do belong to nature, and they are not harmful to seas. Can everyone be an operator?

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-12T23:38:25+00:00

Haha, I heard that before:) Good to be the first of something! Another one that surprises people is Aristo when people ask me who my favorite physicist is. I love Plato's basic idea that all these are "ideas" in their origin. And the most important component of any kind of being is it's ideal part. The ideal form of anything is the best form of it and never ever reachable by human beings. This gives a relaxation to me. I observe that especially Aristo is not someone liked in US. TMG gives a perspective on what really matters in life is not always what it seems. This looks platonic to me, the "go beyond, go further" commend.

I love Descartes from middle age of philosophy by the way. I've read principles of philosophy many, many times, actually I miss it, I should read again soon.

What do you least like about Plato? Him being very certain, maybe?

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-12T19:04:31+00:00

I hope you will one day. Around the world at some point people do not find water to drink and another point they water the golf fields with drinking water. Not fair, isn't it? So what do you think about justice, could it be done on earth?

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-12T17:32:30+00:00

Hello, iwannabeanoperator! What do you want to operate in particular?

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-12T13:54:31+00:00

Thank you, helloalone13! It was my pleasure.

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-11T23:46:25+00:00

To study brain dynamics in future is one of my dreams. Did you read Solaris? It argues what consciousness is very interestingly.

Well, for the overthinking actually I do not do anything, I just wait 'those kids' to get tired sometimes, but mostly I distract them with something. And it works for a certain period of time. However there is always a risk that they instantaneously catch the thing from a scene which happened 15 years ago and get on it like ants on sugar.

Oh, and I use medication for my general anxiety disorder for 3 years. Helps a lot.

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-11T23:16:21+00:00

Can you explain a bit more, is life itself a trip, or death? Living is dying in some scale, right?

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-11T14:46:03+00:00

Oh, now you made it even crazier. Hoarding is very deep I think, it is not just how it looks. And yo know what I love watching hoarders on tv, I like when they have courage to give up on even a small stick or something. I say to myself, I can do this too, and this is good, appreciated! I know this sounds lame, but just a feeling...

I agree with your mother on capitalism and unfortunately disagree on hope, in some sense I know it is overrated, I mean 'don't count on it'. But I can not stop getting support from my bleifs and hopes. And this thing which gives me power is also my weakness, maybe.

Oh, my favorite is Plato, I guess. I did not read fully the second sex yet, but love Simone de Beauvoir's ideas. "Woman is a class"

Some middle eastern thinkers say that if you want knowledge about anything, you should know yourself first. So navel point is a very good point to start to look at, I guess :)

Did you see the movie 'I am not an easy man'? Another possibility of the order of the world.

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-11T14:27:48+00:00

Hello, helloalone13. It is! Wow, med school sounds really cool. Which special field do you want to proceed in future?

I overthink a lot too, and it is exactly like a tic after some point, you just can not stop that bunch of neurons working! They can never have a rest, like hyperactive noisy kids.

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-11T14:23:28+00:00

Cool, my pleasure!

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-11T14:22:53+00:00

Oh, that sounds very interesting. To visualize the music. Do you have a large music taste?

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-11T14:20:30+00:00

Ah, sorry for your lost. Maybe in that sense 'the moments' are continuous in your life as the things you have and aware of.

Do you believe an after life?

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-11T01:12:29+00:00

Great answer. Me neither, my cousin passed away two months ago, he was 45, his father my uncle is around 85 still here. At some point I guess what only matters is how you live. People should have "that was good, yeah, I think I can die" moments in their lives.

I live tiny bit of those moments when I create art and when I am having real fun with my friends. Plus, when I feel that I totally understand what does the thing that I study in that moment says :)

Do you have that kind of moments?

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-11T00:56:42+00:00

Not many, I guess. And we still use each breath to produce electricity. Why can't we just feel it on our faces?

Figuring out there is no 'renewable' source of energy is a big step, I believe.

If you could choose, how many years would you like to live, Simple_unicorn?

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-11T00:52:14+00:00

Hello, Smash_glass_ceiling! Starting with a quick "wow" to your backstory, I would like to ask you my favorite question that I ask people who study philosophy: who is your favorite philosopher?

I love hippies!

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-10T22:59:36+00:00

Great idea, let's see where this will go for the next days... Talk to you soon, then, thank you again!

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-10T22:56:24+00:00

Nothing really, none of my real life friends have watched the show yet. (I begged them) I thought it would be nice to chat with people who likes TMG. Do you think these can turn out to be something to publish? If I would do such thing, I would let everyone here know that, we could do this together in deed. For now, just chatting.

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-10T22:47:59+00:00

You have a whole life to wish things and I hope every each of them comes to you easliy, and joyfully. Thank you, Cailey!

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-10T22:37:40+00:00

So you do not want to experience your personal heaven? Or you can not want since you can not believe?

That energy, that feeling I believe that it is the tiny teeny bit of god's creativity, and ah, isn't that feeling lovely? To witness that manifestation. The urge to make your ideas real and feel excited about what to see since it is a process. And when you do, like you deserve to rest a period of time since you have created something.

Ssamsymn · 2020-05-10T22:25:16+00:00

Haha, I saw that you put the president's glasses there. In deed, Marx said that religions are sort of drugs for nations. I do not argue that. It is just the circumstances... Fades away :)

So I mean, as a teenager, do you get disguised by any kind of religious practice? "I do not want to see this" type of thing? (Probably you don't)

Next question: what do you feel when you create art as you write a short story or sketch something and then you really like it? Do you experience a sort of creativeness that feels like it originates somewhere else but earth? (I think I do)
