How to recognise ideology: "Science adapts its theory to reality, whereas ideology adapt reality to theory".
How to recognize you've been totalitarised: atomisation, meaninglessness, free-floating anxiety & frustration/aggression.

Technology: Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind
Politics: When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way
Emotion: Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death

"For, when you are approaching poverty, you make one discovery which outweighs some of the others [...]. The great redeeming feature of poverty: the fact that it annihilates the future" #GeorgeOrwell #DownAndOutInParisAndLondon

First published in 1929. Almost a century later, it still holds water. A book red pillers and Christian ethics apologists too might want to glance at #MarriageAndMorals #BertrandRussell

PSA: turns out Schrödinger's cat is alive and well, found it in one of the most charming little bookshops in Galati. Stocked up on Cioran's oeuvre and some feline philosophy while at it 📚🐈‍⬛#humanitas

@GadSaad And the world, in its infinite wokeness, will not see this as satire. Which is sad, because it's good

My brain fell in love with this in my late 20s. More than a decade later, rediscovering the monumental #KenWilber with his first published work, #TheSpectrumOfConsciousness.

Can't think of a better way to elevate the stay-inside-cuddle-under-a-blanket-and-drink-mulled-wine season. The most wonderfully written modern day hero's journey. #HarryPotter #jkrowling

In a world run by pigs and completely absent of redeeming characters, be a cat! #animalfarm #georgeorwell

It'll probably take me another 152 years to master this art 😆. Great read #RolfDobelli #theartofthinkingclearly

[Simona Cretu @SimonaRuxanda]

A masterful critique of religion/religious belief delivered with such a unique blend of humour and scientific acumen. My journey started with this book in more than just one way #RichardDawkins #TheGodDelusion

Read 1984 twice. It will hit different the second time around #georgeorwell #1984georgeorwell

@GadSaad Sadly, some will not be able to see this as satire

"I have crossed oceans of time to find you" - the very essence of the movie. The book, however, is a different theme. Both two brilliant and very, very different stories #BramStoker #Dracula

This is historical fact
