What is good? If you complain and get hurt "react back" to deliver evil upon others, included the ones who have hurt you, what makes it of you? Righteous? I was thinking of that in the morning as I woke up, whether I vent or try to do something as sharing my pain, in my idea sharing is good. Can I believe humanity can be trusted? I am afraid of that that if I don't share my struggle people will never care of me. I am not wrong, unfortunately. They will not. Only through whip people learn. They form morality through suffering. Did people stop killing because it was right thing to do or because it was a necessity and it was abused? You can say all you want, but when there are no consequences every person here in the room will claim it's first.
When there are consequences though, thigns change. And even though these rules make us greater in return, how are we to know that these rules were made solely for sake of itself? IT was common sense or we were finally FORCED to admit that? If I say there are vampries in the village, no one will believe me until they see vampires with their own eyes. Who are ought to believe pedophilea or murder are bad things? Justification for it on individual level sounds positive. You may have million reasons of benefit. The chances that humanity formed justice solely by listening to poor is incorrect assumption. But it's true, the more humantiy experiences direct wall hitting their head, the more they are aware of things, AS LONG as that WALL exists to begin with. In other words, humanity is okay with existing in a form of neutrality, wherence they commit tyranny but are not persecuted. It is the fear of that persecution, that makes them denounce and do good. But to this day in contemporary era, humans do lots of evil to each other but are not persecuted.
Without passion to punsh, we live in constant contemporary unfairness and injustice. I wanted to write more but this fucking site keeps crashing
I was reading about Francis Crick and James Watson’s discovery of DNA in 1953…and admiring Santiago’s beautiful drawings of neurons…and Alan Hodgkin et Andrew Huxley’s mathematical discovery of calculating how action potentials propagates along a neuron…I couldn’t help but think how romantic it all is. To me it’s so interesting learning about the process of discovery. It’s incredible because all these people were just like us—students. It’s romantic because it’s human—a human experience—an insatiable thirst for knowledge, curiosity that knows no end. A perseverance to succeed. The ultimate quest to generate a novel idea before anyone else does. How can anyone say that science is not poetic? Science is poetry written in a different language, an esoteric one at that. But poetry nonetheless.
Day in the life of a Natural Science academic.
-I am absolutely in love with Santiago Ramon y Cajal and Camillo Golgi. I found it quite fascinating learning about their lives and the influence both had on Modern Neuroscience.
Santiago kind of has my heart because he is everything but the stereotypical idea of a scientist. He actually wanted to become an artist but that went against his father’s wishes and Santiago became quite…the rebel in school. But with time, he was intrigued by histology and proceeded to conducting a lot of research, one of them being neurons and Golgi’s Black Reaction. Santiago was able to illustrate neurons as shown in one of the pictures above. And he improved Golgi’s reaction that was a staining method using (silver nitrate and potassium chromate).
Some pictures from today. The weather was absolutely beautiful; the sun, warm and felt rejuvenated even after my neuro exam.
So...I found this lovely bookshop and now I’m obsessed!!!!!
This is the epitome of academia and it’s beautiful in my eyes.

"Suffer to understand"
- Aeschylus, Agamemnon
Famous quotes expressed in a memorial way in Agamemnon of Aeschylus, when the chorus intones the famous Zeus' Hymn.
" But who to Zeus with joy raises the epinikion shout Will bring fully the widsom to Zeus who led the mortals to be wise, who put as solid law "widsom through pain" also in the sleep oozes before the heart an anguish mindful of sorrows: well as who does not, widsome comes. "
Aeschylus faces theme like evil, pain and fear that hit men in their intimacy relationships with Deities and society. According to a first conception of evil and pain, they were determined only by Gods' envy, the Hybris (hy-brys), but later they gained a new value, becoming an instrument to educate men to justice, since only through the pain they can ackwonledge deep inside themselves.
The tragic experience is, according to Greeks, internalization of knowledge. Aristotle few times emphasises how the pain leads the men "from no-knowledge to knowledge."
By the way, no one can escape from the face-off of the pain. How Greek widsome teaches us, one must be courageous and accept the involvement in it: what is next is the greatest mystery which we go against.
presentation i made for a ppt night with some friends,, please laugh
What do you think of Eren killing his Mother? I think that's the only major part of the chapter you haven't talked about.
At first I thought it was just thrown in for the sake of shock value, but looking back at Chapter 96, it was indeed foreshadowed.
It works so far as the revelation about the Reiss massacre works, in showing that Eren is free beyond even cause-and-effect - that he in himself is the Prime Mover, in Aristotle's terms, and in that regard godlike.
Buuut this ending seems to suggest that wasn't the kind of freedom Eren was angling for in the first place. Even if it were, an argument could be made that the Reiss massacre revelation was enough to prove that.
Regardless of this twist's inherent worth, its execution was bad. It felt very crammed in amongst all the other revelations the final chapter gives us; and what's more, you could cut it out of the final chapter and change nothing fundamental about the story. It doesn't even have much of an effect on the course of Eren and Armin's conversation.
But it does provide a conclusion to this piece of foreshadowing, at least.
