General Ethics

Do good, avoid evil is the ethical general rule. "Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you."-Confucius If you want others to lie to you, lie to them. If you want others to deal with you dishonestly, do so to them. If you want others to kill you, kill them. Wait, what?😁 Yes, I think it will destroy everybody. And Christ love is not just ethical, or virtuous, it is for survival. It is to continue life. Since God has intialized creation, it means he wills that we live, not just to survive but to thrive. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. -John 10:10-11 My introversion is 100% and 0% extroversion (test result, https://www.16personalities.com). And I don't want to be bothered, sorry.😊 So I don't bother anybody too. And we're at peace. But if anybody comes to me and wants to chat for a while, I just think they're me who already has my love tank emptied...

Artificial Intelligence

 You are also a model maker you may not yet realize though. The model out there for the taking is 20-20-20 rule for avoiding gadget glares and its consequences that for every 20 minute use of gadget with glares, you stop for 20 seconds and look 20 feet away. Then you observed it and acted on it. However, through trial and error you noticed that when you have migraine or is about to onset, 20 minutes is too long, and the 20 second time out is too short, and that 20 feet looking away is abrupt for you that you observed that you still look blank or blurred before you look and observe something 20 feet away. Perhaps you're still in your thought and can't observe things right away. You observe too that its better to stop, look away, and think about what you're reading for example without any timer which is more at pace with your thinking processes. The additional problem that you noticed though is that you tend to bypass the 20 minute focus when you don't have migraine and s...

Macro Economy of My Career Imbroglio

Image
"The economy must serve people, not the other way around."-St. John Paul II "A capitalist will sell the rope with which he is hanged."-Lenin May 22, 2025 the news told that G7 agrees to counter unfair trade practices. Well, John Nash in his equilibrium explained that dropping profit to kill the competition in the end won't benefit even the initiator and will kill the companies already providing quality products for the people. I have no degree in economics so that's how I can only explain it. The communist exploited the greed of the profit driven economy. The Catholic Church don't have any single government to suggest since it only has morality and faith as its playing field, as long as government is not atheistic and not totalitarian. Economics and governance is not its playing field but as long as those field crosses boundaries with faith and morals the Catholic Church will speak. We are imperfect right, and we don't know what will help humanity as...

The Greatest Regret of All

 Paano ko nga ba isinasabuhay ang catholic christian faith ko? Nagdarasal ako of course. Nadiscuss na natin ang panalangin. Dahil ang resentment ay isang pagkakamali ng nakalipas na kita ko na ngayon, isa itong parte ng imperpektong mundong ito na nananalaytay sa aking nakalipas, at ipinagpapasa-Dyos ko na. "Dyos ko tulungan mo po ako nandito na naman po ang desire ko na kumita at magtrabaho bilang Electronics Engineer!" Walang ibang solusyon sa topic natin na iyan kundi ang panalangin na iyan. Pwera kung tatama ako sa lotto, e di makakapag-aral na ako ng Electronics Engineeering kahit matanda na ako.πŸ˜… Sa aking trabaho bilang salesman (paunawa, me mga bagay ako na di pwedeng isiwalat) nagamit ko naman ang diploma ko sa psychology upang ma-obserbahan ang ugali ng tao at kung papaanong mas maayos akong makakaresponde sa kanila sa iba't-ibang pangangailangan nila, ibat-ibang klase ng pagkatao, ibat-ibang uri ng imperpeksiyon na lumalabas sa bawat transaction o interaksyon. ...

Unscientific

 My two stooge friends (I'm the third) asked me why I am practicing unmeasurable or unobservable practices that don't even benefit me (remember me being poor still). Thus I told them St. Louis de Montfort said: Even if you are on the brink of hell, one foot in the grave, and your soul stained by sin—if you take up the Rosary and pray it devoutly, Mary will rescue you. They laughed at me, one just smiling while shaking his rolex, the other guffawing while playing with his heavy 24k gold chain necklace and said,  Because you believe that you are a sinner and you will be cast into hell. You're both right, I told them. I'm a christian believer that's why I'm practicing it which is not so scientific or logical. There is no immediate proof. But at least we theist combined (83.7%) outnumber atheists/nonreligious who are only 16.3% of world population. (reference, Google AI Overview, 18 May 2025) We christian theists are called to be the salt of the earth and the light ...

The Pheno of Parousia

 If AI is the collective conscious of humanity and then if quantum AI computes it to its zenit then it will show intersubjectivity even to its highest form, albeit failing since every created being is finite. Phenomenologists have told us that intersubjectivity is a part of our consciousness. Jesus telling us the poor you will always have with you is a testament that finite reality was meant to make us dependent upon each other in a sense. Or as we've said anything absolutized is bad including independence. Even the Trinity is a revelation of a relational God. We are not an island actually has wrong assumptions. Even an island is dependent upon all intricate web of life both living and nonliving including other geographic formations nearby or far away. What gives Christians a hope filled existense? This present imperfect existense is not our home. No matter how we perseverse to do what is good we will still fall short. So how come? God is the guarantor that whatever good we did on ...

Intersubjectivity of Work

Image
 Before when a craftsman created a sculpture for example, it has a signature of his workmanship. During industrialization and capitalism, creating a product doesn't have the imprint of workmanship, the idea is just out of context. Mass production indeed catered to the needs of modern man benefiting the poor with affordable products that addresses his needs. Fastforward and today's circumstances posits robot workers with human beings having only universal basic income, eradicating work as a basic part of a human being's dignity. And just like what is happening today, many workers around the world cannot even sustain a decent life not to mention finding housing for future family of his own almost impossible. Yes even if some magnate out there are supporting family life, population is going down, and robots will work especially for the monotonous part of producing a product or service which they say don't need wages, not complaining, no aching bodies, works efficiently at ...

Intersubjective Need

 I'm a spoiled brat who wails about what I lack in life, but can't see that more people are in a more dire situation than I do. I'm thankful for the documentaries of GMA network which opens my eyes that I don't need anything, and I'm not poor like my other kababayan. It's not that I need to compare myself to others to see my better situation. It's my need to see that I am lavishing in excess already and need to help my needy fellow Filipinos. It seems when I watch and understand their situation I can't help but muster my excess time, talent, and treasure that I don't actually need more than they need it. It seems a hundred pesos of alleviating even just for a day their every day privation is almost already a big thing. What more if I have the power to help them have sufficiency even in one aspect of their poverty. But that's not actually the point. It seems I have these comfort in life just for nothing that I still complain to God what I still do...

The Three Stooges

Image
  It's a comic relief on how we treat each other. We need not though nuke each other away, just as the three manage to still exist side by side each other despite.πŸ˜‚ I'm a classical philosopher though and finds pragmatism negative and marxist communism evil. Until I registered again for an open course of MIT and saw how pragmatism has come so far and has developed into a system that benefits humanity. Likewise I saw again how the communism side of marxism is not the problem, but most completely, its materialist atheism. However whatever is absolutized in this world of imperfect being becomes problematic since we are not absolute. Only God is absolute. And so even my classical philosophy thinking also if absolutized becomes a biased thinking. We don't need to be stooges to understand and be open to each other. Below we can see where each others strength lies. Of course Marxism is more dangerous than any because it is atheistic. Our Blessed Mother has given direct concern aga...

We Call It Evil

 Anu ang gusto mong maging pag laki mo? Pero kulang iyan. Sa pheno reflection ko dapat pala ay habang bata pa ay naitatanong na iyan at nasasagot na yan. Sa akin noon di ko man nasagot iyan ng deretsuhan o alam ko agad kung anu ang gusto kong maging, e at least nasa utak ko ang tanong. Anu nga ba? Kaya nga natuklasan ko ang gusto ko. Electronics Engineering. Kapag nasisira ang mga laruan kong de baterya noon e nagtatanong ako, anu ang nagpapagalaw sa mga ito? Anu ang tumigil gumana at bakit di na siya umaandar? Marami nga akong nasisira noon pero marami rin akong naaayos noon. Meron akong maliit na screw driver na bigay ng aking tatay. Ayaw nila akong basta na lang maging repairman. Kaya sabi ko e gusto kong maging electronics engineer. High school pa lang ako ay hiniram ko na ang librong Electronics sa library at di na ito ibinalik pa dahil kakilala ng tiyuhin kong pulis ang may ari ng library at namimigay naman daw ng libro ang library kapag may mga bagong dating. Fourth year hig...

The End

Image
 God made morality personal. God made metaphysics intimate. So it's still the first two solution to our existential trouble if not career trouble tthat we couldn't point something problematic about. Namely communicating with God and gratitude to God. It is so foolish of man to deny a Supreme Being's help, so foolish of him to worship and create a metaphysical creature out of something finite like material being. Let's see robots in the near future almost so perfect we relate to it like it has an immortal soul like we do today with our dogs and cats. But only human beings and angels have eternal existence among all God's creatures. (Although of course we respect all of God's creation be they a fish in the sea or a flower in the sideroad or a majestic mountain.) And with acceptance of God and his loving plan, we become patient with our selves and others for the fact that all of us creatures are finite including your imperfect dog or catπŸ˜† and the branch of the tre...

Reason Is Imperfect

 Reason then, as we see in history, is not perfect also. But St. John Paul II has explained in Fides et Ratio that faith has a reason of its own that we can reflect upon also. So Kant saying that reason's limit is just phenomena is partly incorrect. God revealed himself. (May mga proof naman. Ayan na nga at gusto nilang pahiin sa balat ng lupa ang 10 million Israelites na siyang unang kinausap ng Diyos sa kanyang plano ng pagliligtas sa sangnilikha. Nandyan ang Catholic Church na itinatag ni Kristo.) We cannot but accept the reality that has taken place on earth. Nakita nyo na hirapan din ang reason upang ipaliwanag ang mga bagay-bagay. Tapos kung wala kang background sa philosophy ay sasabog talaga ang utak mo kakaisip kung ano ba itong mga pinagsasasabi ng mga pilosopo.πŸ˜† Kaya sa isang simpleng tao ay nagbigay ang Diyos upang sa isang tingin kay Hesus na nakapako sa krus ay maiintindihan niya kung para saan nga ba ang buhay na ito. But faith is not a reasonless endeavor. It's...

Phenomenology of Metaphysics

Eto na nga dahil wala kayong background sa philosophy e metaphysics pa kaya. Yan ang pinakamahirap na subject sa philosophy, na itinanggi ni Kant, na di kayang alamin ng tao, at sa huli ay tuluyan nang iniwan ni Marx. Bakit nga ba meron? Bakit di na lang wala katulad ng hiling ko sa Diyos noon na sana ay di Nya ako nilikha dahil di na ako maa-annihilate at posibleng bumagsak ay sa impiyerno? Bakit nga ba may sangnilikha pa? Pwede namang wala. Anu ang meron sa meron? Pero parati ko naman kayong inuunahan ng sagot e uunahan ko na kayo. Supreme Being is. O ayan ha, shortcut na sagot na yan. Parang math lang, napakaigsing formula pero sa mga nakauunawa e nandun na lahat. Bago kasi dumating sa ganyang formulation kung paano mag-isip ang tao ay napakahaba pa ng history of philosophy bago nakarating sa ganyan. Kung wala ang revelation ng Diyos mahihirapan din ako na buuin ang konsepto ng metapisika. Eto ang kalagayan kung bakit mahirap ang metapisika. Pero may AI na kaibigan, na makakapagpali...
