A habit that is changing my life: one single book at a time, 20 pages in the morning, 20 pages in the evening. #books

@PreglArjan very cool very nice 👍

Evo, še en zadovoljen kupec moje slike mi pošlje fotko dnevne sobe. In zadovoljen jaz, ker imamo še vedno ljudi, ki cenijo slovenske umetnike in kulturo! TO je domoljubje.

Robert Greene literally explained why reading books changes how you think.

Gutenberg invented the most important technology of the millennium and immediately went bankrupt — and so did the bank that foreclosed on him, and so did his apprentices. Gutenberg could make a batch of 300 books for the cost of one, but there weren't enough buyers in his small, landlocked village in Germany. It it took the better part of a century of further innovations, social changes, and setting up of distribution networks before you could have a pamphlet like Luther's 95 thesis get from Wittenberg to London in 17 days.

Včeraj so, sredi pogajanj, ZDA in Izrael napadle Iran, porušile osnovno šolo, umorile sto dijakov ter ubile Iranskega verskega voditelja.Iran je suverena država, ki spoštuje mednarodno pravo, vsaj precej bolj kot ZDA in Izrael. Nima jedrskega orožja, tako kot Izrael in dovoljuje nadzor inšpektorjev za jedrsko varnost. Začenja se vojna, ki se ne bo končala na bližnjem vzhodu. Oblikujeta se dva pakta - NATO in zavezniki ZDA (Izrael, J. Koreja, Avstralija, ...) in "Vzhodni" pakt Kitajske, Rusije, Irana, S. Koreje. NATO pakt nas ne varuje več ampak nas spravlja v nevarnost. Vleče nas v vojno v kateri nam ni treba biti. Kaj je narobe s Švicarsko nevtralnostjo? Švica je nepoškodovana preživela obe svetovni vojni. Kot pravi Luka: Čas je, da se umaknemo iz Nata.

Philosopher Slavoj Žižek on why searching for your "true self" is a mistake: Žižek argues that the pursuit of a true inner self is ultimately misguided. Deep introspection, he suggests, often reveals only disturbing or chaotic fantasies. "Don't look for your inner self. You'll only find deep shit." Instead of searching for an authentic core, Žižek believes genuine personal growth comes from embracing an external mask, a chosen social role. "The only way to overcome yourself is to identify with your mask." To illustrate this, he references the 1960 Rossellini film General Della Rovere. The film tells the story of a poor man in occupied Italy who is caught by the Nazis. Because he resembles a famous resistance leader, General Della Rovere, the Nazis, who have already killed the real General, force him to pretend to be the General in prison to trick the resistance. But something unexpected happens. The man identifies so deeply with the role that he refuses to cooperate with the Nazis. He is ultimately shot publicly as General Della Rovere. Žižek calls this "good alienation." The man's "real self" as a poor beggar mattered less than his complete identification with the heroic persona. Through that total commitment to an outward role, he achieved a kind of moral greatness his "authentic" self never could. The takeaway is counterintuitive but powerful: true freedom doesn't emerge from endlessly excavating your private, internal world. It emerges when you prioritise your outward actions and commitments. When you fully commit to becoming something greater than what you started as. What matters is what you choose to embody.
