Is the Earth round or flat ?

A Person with No Name: Is the Earth round or flat?

A Person with a Name: Obviously, it’s round.
A Person with No Name: How do you know?
A Person with a Name: I have my own special theory.
A Person with No Name: What theory?
A Person with a Name: I call it... the Famous Theory of Women’s Boobs (FTWB)*.

The Organic Life of Ideas.

I don't particularly enjoy writing. For me, the natural space for ideas is dialogue, like any act of communication. Good ideas are born in dialogue and only later find their way onto paper in one form or another. Ideas flow through oral culture, growing like a small tree. They evolve, change, and adapt as they are shared. Every conversation, every verbal exchange, enriches them, adding layers of meaning and nuance over time. Many philosophers and writers did not practice writing. Socrates, never wrote anything himself. He believed that true philosophy should be practiced through oral dialogue, not static writing. Our knowledge of his ideas comes primarily through his student, Plato. The same applies to both the Buddha and al-Hallaj, Michel de Montaigne (often expressed doubt about the value of writing) and Ludwig Wittgenstein (who believed that words could never fully capture reality.) On the other hand, writing has preserved history for us. Through it, we have captured the past, r...

Byzantine Debate

The idea of a 'Byzantine debate' does not represent a situation that has repeated itself many times in history. The phrase comes from the Eastern Roman Empire, where the royal court was full of endless debates about theology. What is interesting is that even when Sultan Mehmed II (Mohammed Al-Fatiha) was besieging Constantinople, the debates continued, despite the critical situation. This is why the phrase "Byzantine debate" became famous. It describes a kind of religious argument that never ends. Even today, many societies still live similarly. In my opinion, this kind of endless debate is a form of escaping reality.

About the Power of Democracy

I often think about how democracy has become too powerful. It seems like a vast system has taken over values it didn’t originally create—like freedom of speech, voting, and participation. These values existed in many societies even before Western-style democracy appeared. In fact, we can see examples today where some non-democratic societies still enjoy a high level of freedom of expression and shared decision-making. So why does the West keep pushing this strong version of democracy? This is something I keep wondering about.

Social Networks: populist by nature

S ocial networks are naturally populist, that’s just how they work. It’s crazy to create an elitist social network, so the presence of dumb people is completely normal . This is the case on Facebook,Instagram and Tiktok, or even x . If you’re looking for alternatives, it means you don’t reject social networks themselves, but you want one with less noise. The problem is, your options are limited . Even with decentralized networks like Mastodon , things can feel slow, and the smaller community often means less useful content on topics that matter to you . copyright-noota.top
