Common incorrect thoughts.

There are a number of phrases that most people accept that are in my opinion incorrect

Here are the ones that I have previously included:

1. Everything will be OK - The law of entropy shows that everything deteriorates all the time. We use our resources to improve things and there is always waste. It is impossbile to use 100% of our resources. Look at the blog on entropy.

2. We should improve our ego - Look in .the chapter of "Free Will"

There are a number of phrases that most people accept that are in my opinion incorrect

2. We should improve our ego - Look at the blog on free will

3. Wrong assumptions - This is recognized as "This is the way that things should be done. There is no better or more correct way. Look at the blog on What is our main problem ?

Now let's look at two more:

4. This isn't logical - This is a misuse of the term "logic". Logic deals with the problem of validity. There is no necessary connection between validity and truth. According to the rules of logic if the assumption is not correct then every conclusion IS valid. For example : If the moon is made of green cheese then I can fly. This combination IS valid:
Here is an example of two sentences that are not valid: All horses are animals. Therefore all animals are horses.
What I want to say here is when referring to something that is inconceivable to say exactly that, or - this is impossible, or irrational, but don't say - this is illogical (unless you ARE talking about validity).

5. Everything is ok. - This is a common answer to "How are you? " or "Is everything ok ?". I have always said that everything is NOT ok. It's nice to see that Osho agrees with me.

To answer the question "is everything OK ?" with a "yes" is sleep inducing. If everything is OK then there is nothing to do. We can go to sleep.
However, the truth is that NOTHING is OK. And the proof of that is that everything can be improved. That means that it is NOT ok and THAT it is challenging. You to try to improve it.

Riddles and infinities. Riddles and other things that many people don't know are among the things that I love. Here are some of them. 1. Cantor showed us that there are 3 inifinities of diffeent sizes. He called them aleph 0, aleph 1, and aleph 2. Since we can't count in order to see the differences he used a 1-1 match up. As an example If there is a bus where all the people were sitting and all the seats were full we would know that the number of people and seats are equal. The aleph 0 set contains the natural numbers (1, 2, 3.....). If we compare them to only the even numbers (2, 4, 6....) we see that every natural number has an even number that matches up (simply multiply by 2) and vice versa. these 2 infinities are equal in size. Any other set that we can list that will contain them all (fractions (1/1, 1/2, 2/2, 2/1 ......) for example) are also aleph 0, because we can match them up with 1, 2, 3.... simply by numbering the list. ...
