Would Socrates Have Used Social Media? A Thought Experiment.

Imagining that it's 2025, Socrates, in the modern-day café, has opened his laptop. He just got greeted on Instagram with "You have 1 new follower!" and looks intrigued. Probably not the type to run away from the prospect of easily exploring the "new" digital world, or for that matter, a seeker of wisdom using the Socratic method of questioning everything. But would Socrates-the ultimate skeptic and conversationalist-actually use social media? Let's enter this thought experiment.

First poking at the obvious, Socrates was not the type who cared much for writing anyway. In fact, it is famously said that there exists no authentic record of his own writings. Whatever we know of him comes down to the hearsay of his pupils, notably Plato. Socrates was all about intellectual dialogue face to face-the debates in public lugares; challenging assumptions; dissecting thoroughly even the unlovable and uncomfortable thoughts. Would he engage in Twitter threads, Facebook debates, or TikTok rants? Well, that would be far-fetched. 

The Socratic Method: Online Style

Essentially, the Socratic method involves asking questions that invite people to challenge ideas and to think again. So, it sounds very similar to online debates, does it not? After all, social media is an arena where everyone can give their opinion—and sometimes, those opinions might need a little poke and prod. Picture Socrates diving into Twitter discussions, replying to tweets with the simple yet certain rebuttal, "But why?" That would surely lead to some terribly amusing yet slightly cumbersome exchanges. Nevertheless, Socrates wouldn't be there to earn likes or retweets. He'd be there to get to the truth even if that meant grinding the nerves of everyone involved.

It isn't hard to imagine how much trouble for Socrates it would be to portray an Agitator in the online space to inspire critical thinking among users. For a social media platform, one is given an opportunity to share their views, close, say the Agora (the marketplace) in Ancient Athens. Socrates would in all probability make those platforms as an arena to question people's presuppositions or assume things. Things like, "What is the real worth of a 'like?'" or "What does it mean to be really heard with a tweet of 280 characters?" It would take an endlessly flowing challenge to the received wisdom, with the assurance that Socrates had a huge number of followers on social media because let us be true, his philosophy spells intrigue. 

The Problems With Social Media That Socrates Would Have Hated

But Socrates would certainly never ignore any problem with social media. Seeing how many times online discussions reduce to three-second arguments or how misinformation spreads like wildfire, he would probably have spent a great deal of time shaking his head in disappointment. He had really believed in the quality of discourse. For him, seeing people argue in sound bites or tweet memes highlighting ever flimsy details of a complex issue would, in all regards, make him cringe. Remember, Socrates was all for refining ideas and actually trying to reach proper understanding and not just to score a wing for an argument or chase followers.

Besides that, Socrates probably wouldn't have appreciated social media's obsession with self-promotion. He would have turned to a scroll of curated Instagram posts, each showing candidates at their Pops-the-Root Beer moment and asked, "Is this really living?" He might have thought that the constant scramble for likes and followers alludes to the more serious pursuit of wisdom. 

Had He Been Living, Would He Have Been On Facebook?

Here's another interesting thought: Would Socrates have been on Facebook? He certainly had an affinity for conversation - perhaps he could have joined a few philosophical groups to get the dialogue going. But knowing how rapidly Facebook can swoosh into cat videos, rants about political parties, and unsolicited opinions on pineapple pizzas, Socrates may likely have been out of there before long. He would probably value spaces that allow for a deep exploration of ideas, rather than mere soundbites shared with a click of a button. 

Conclusion: Socrates will throw himself amidst the noise of the digital world.

The real reason, you say? Not really to care about any followers or content going viral. His social media would have been a podium for questioning thought, challenging, and search for the truth; in a word, a philosophic-style podcast with plenty of trolling bait. Like everything else, he would have approached it with caution-scrutinizing the usefulness of this instrument and never allowing himself to get twisted and turned by any of the bull it would have undoubtedly presented.

In the end, it is less about whether or not Socrates would have engaged with social media and more about whether we would engage with these social sites as avenues of real conversation, rather than simply seeking the next hit of dopamine in our feeds. Long live Socrates, who probably would just ask us to log off every once or twice, look around, and go, "Is this the best way to spend our time?"

Lessons from the Rabbit Hole: What Bitcoin Teaches About Thinking Differently

The moment I stumbled upon Bitcoin, I had no idea it would change the way I view the world. What started as a curiosity about digital currency quickly transformed into a deep dive down the rabbit hole—a journey that rewired my thinking about money, systems, and the society we live in.

Bitcoin is more than just a financial innovation; it’s a paradigm shift. It forces you to question the foundations of things we often take for granted: What is money? Who should control it? Why do systems that seem stable on the surface often reveal hidden inefficiencies and inequalities?

Here are the lessons Bitcoin teaches when you allow yourself to fall down the rabbit hole:

1. Question Everything

Before Bitcoin, I rarely questioned the mechanics of money. But Bitcoin’s decentralized design challenged me to think critically about centralized systems. Who decides how much money is printed? Why does inflation rob people of their purchasing power? Why do we trust these systems without understanding them?

Bitcoin opens your eyes to the fact that many of the world’s systems—financial, political, and even cultural—operate on assumptions that deserve scrutiny.

2. Embrace Complexity

The Bitcoin rabbit hole is not a straight path. It’s layered with economics, cryptography, history, and game theory. Understanding it requires patience and a willingness to grapple with complex ideas. This journey taught me that complexity is not something to fear but an opportunity to grow.

In learning about Bitcoin, you might also uncover new interests: the history of money, the role of incentives in human behavior, or the technological underpinnings of blockchain.

3. Think Long-Term

Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins fundamentally shifts the perspective from short-term gains to long-term value. It aligns with the idea of delayed gratification: holding Bitcoin is an exercise in patience, trust, and foresight. This mindset is a stark contrast to the instant-gratification culture that surrounds us and the current financial system—where centralized authorities prioritize short-term interventions like printing money, often at the expense of long-term economic stability.

The broader lesson? Anything worth building—be it wealth, trust, or knowledge—takes time.

4. Decentralization Is Power

One of Bitcoin’s most profound lessons is the power of decentralization. It shows us that centralized authorities are not the only way to maintain order. In fact, decentralization can be more resilient and equitable.

This principle extends beyond money. It applies to governance, energy systems, and even the way we structure organizations. Decentralization empowers individuals and communities, challenging the notion that control must always flow from the top.

5. Don’t Trust, Verify

Bitcoin’s blockchain is a public ledger where every transaction is transparent and verifiable. This principle—“don’t trust, verify”—teaches a powerful lesson about accountability. In a world where trust is often misplaced, the ability to verify builds systems that are fairer and more trustworthy.

Imagine applying this principle to other areas of life: relationships, business agreements, or even government policies.

6. Resilience Through Innovation

Bitcoin has faced criticism, bans, and countless obituaries, yet it persists. Its resilience lies in its decentralized nature and the collective belief of its network participants. This teaches an important lesson: systems built on innovation and trust in collective action are incredibly hard to dismantle.

7. Your Mindset Determines Your Reality

Understanding Bitcoin requires a shift in perspective. It’s not just about money but about changing how you see the world. For me, the Bitcoin rabbit hole was like turning a kaleidoscope: the pieces were the same, but the patterns they formed were entirely new.

The takeaway? Your mindset determines the opportunities you see and the changes you can create.

Conclusion: The Rabbit Hole Awaits

Falling down the Bitcoin rabbit hole isn’t just about learning the mechanics of a cryptocurrency. It’s about rethinking systems, questioning norms, and embracing change. It’s about empowering yourself to see the world differently and, in doing so, imagining a better future.

Whether you’re just peeking into the rabbit hole or already deep inside, one thing is certain: the journey will change you. Bitcoin isn’t just a tool for financial freedom—it’s a catalyst for intellectual and philosophical growth.

The Rules of a Lie

There is a hidden force that we seldom acknowledge. It is subtle, yet all-encompassing. It sways, bends, and reshapes the very fabric of our understanding. It is not a force of nature, nor is it divine—it is far simpler. It is the **lie**, and more often than not, we are ensnared by it without even realizing.

In a world where falsehood wears the mask of truth, how does one begin to unravel the deception? The truth, by its nature, is whole and complete. Yet, when something is added to it or stripped away, what remains is not truth—it is a lie. And in this lie, we unknowingly live.

But what happens when the lie becomes the norm?

The answer lies in the practices we follow, the traditions we hold dear, and the beliefs we protect. We assume these customs, ideas, and perceptions are truth, for they have been passed down, etched into the core of our beings. They tell us who we are, what to believe, and how to act. But what if they are built on nothing more than well-disguised falsehoods?

A Whisper in the Shadows:

Lies are never born in the open. They start as whispers in the shadows, shaping themselves slowly over time, merging with our realities until we can no longer distinguish them from the truth. When these lies spread far enough, they become indistinguishable from the very air we breathe. You don’t see it. You don’t question it. You just live it.

Religious rituals, social norms, cultural expectations—what if they have all, in some way, been touched by this unseen force? Not deliberately, but by the simple passage of time, as truth was chipped away, molded, reshaped—until what remains is a distorted reflection of what once was.

The lie now stands tall, accepted by the masses, defended by those who do not know they have fallen into its embrace. And here lies the greatest irony: **the lie does not need to convince you it is the truth**. It only needs you to believe it enough that you never seek the truth at all.

---

The Unknowable Path

The majority of the world unknowingly walks this path, unaware that they have inherited false practices and beliefs that are far removed from their origins. They perform them with devotion, with faith, with pride, thinking they are righteous. They do not ask questions. Why would they? When something has become so deeply embedded in one’s identity, challenging it feels like an assault on reality itself.

But every lie, no matter how grand, is fragile. It rests on a delicate balance of silence and repetition. It fears scrutiny, for scrutiny is the seed of truth. And truth, no matter how buried, always seeks to rise.

In ancient times, the prophets—those rare souls who dared to see through the veil—stood against these deceptions. They spoke of a singular truth while the masses clung to their comforting lies. **Abraham** destroyed the idols worshipped by his people, not because he sought chaos, but because he saw through the veil of falsehood. **Moses** stood before a mighty Pharaoh, who built an empire on lies and enslaved minds just as much as bodies.

Each time, the truth was not what the people expected. It was uncomfortable. It was alien. But it was **real**.

---

A Silent Majority, An Eternal Truth

Today, the lie persists in different forms, but the principle remains the same. Many of us unknowingly follow rituals, customs, and beliefs that have deviated from their original essence. They may have begun as truths, but over time, through additions, subtractions, and misinterpretations, they have become something else entirely. Yet, they are followed with fervor, defended with conviction.

The truth, however, is timeless. It is not altered by the passage of years or the whims of men. It does not bend under the weight of time. It simply **is**. But in a world of lies, **truth becomes the rebel**, the outcast, the uncomfortable whisper that dares to challenge the echo of conformity.

And herein lies the paradox: in a world that celebrates falsehood, truth becomes the most dangerous force of all.

---

The Rules of a Lie: Unveiling the Hidden

1. The first rule of a lie is simple: **it must remain hidden**. Lies thrive in the dark, away from questioning eyes. They wrap themselves in layers of complexity, disguising themselves as truth. But the moment the lie is exposed to light, it begins to wither.

2. The second rule is that **lies multiply**. To cover one falsehood, you must create another. The web grows thicker, and soon, the lie takes on a life of its own. It spreads, it infects, and it alters the minds of those who accept it without question.

3. The third rule: **lies lack permanence**. While they may dominate the present, time wears

them down. Truth is patient, for it knows it needs no defense. Lies, however, crumble under the weight of investigation, of curiosity, of those brave enough to seek what is real.

---

The Final Revelation: The Truth Seeker

In the end, to seek the truth in a world built on lies is not just an intellectual endeavor—it is a rebellion. It is the act of standing against the current, of questioning the unquestionable. It is a journey not for the faint of heart, for the truth, while liberating, often comes at a cost.

But in a world of false practices, where so many unknowingly walk in darkness, **the truth becomes a light**—small at first, but growing stronger with each lie that is unraveled. To follow this light is to see the world as it truly is, not as it has been constructed to appear.

So, in a world full of lies, **what will truth be considered?**

Perhaps, it will be seen as something strange, something dangerous, something radical. But to those who seek it, truth will be the only thing worth finding.

Heaven’s War, Earth’s Shadow: A Theory on Creation, Corruption, and the Unseen Battle

As I observe the universe around me, both in its spiritual and scientific dimensions, my mind naturally seeks to make sense of everything—not by favoring one side over the other, but by integrating both. I do not claim to have absolute truth, but when I consider the evidence before me and align it with the deeper truths of the Bible, a compelling picture begins to take shape.

I am drawn to the idea that the cosmic battle between God and Lucifer was not confined to the heavenly realms but also played out on Earth in ways we may not fully understand. The Bible describes Lucifer as once being ‘the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty’ (Ezekiel 28:12-15), adorned with divine light before pride led to his rebellion (Isaiah 14:12-15). When he and his followers were cast down (Revelation 12:4, 9), could it be that, in his defiance, Lucifer attempted to use the knowledge he had received from God to counterfeit creation itself? This thought lingers in my mind as I consider the strange anomalies in history, nature, and even human civilization.

Some speak of extraterrestrial beings, but what if these so-called ‘aliens’ are not from distant galaxies, but are instead remnants of the fallen? The Bible warns that ‘Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light’ (2 Corinthians 11:14), and the Book of Enoch, referenced in Jude (Jude 1:14-15), tells of fallen angels—the Watchers—who descended to Earth, intermingled with humanity, and imparted forbidden knowledge (1 Enoch 6-8). This led to the birth of the Nephilim, described as ‘mighty men of old, men of renown’ (Genesis 6:4), beings who were ultimately wiped out by the Flood (Genesis 7:21-23). If the fallen once sought to establish themselves as ‘gods’ over humanity, could they still be working behind the scenes, manipulating the physical world in ways we struggle to comprehend?

Then there are the ancient creatures—dinosaurs and other extinct species that seem almost unnatural in their design. Could some of them have been part of an attempt by the fallen to create life outside of God’s divine order? If so, their ultimate extinction could be seen as evidence that only God, who ‘breathed into man the breath of life’ (Genesis 2:7), has the power to create and sustain true life. Any imitation would eventually perish, unable to persist under the weight of its own corruption.

While scientists reject such notions, adhering strictly to materialist explanations, I find it difficult to ignore the spiritual dimensions at play. To me, the biblical account remains the foundation of truth, and when I step back and look at the larger picture—the interplay of theology, history, and unexplained phenomena—it makes sense that the battle waged in heaven echoed here on Earth. Whether my thoughts hold ultimate truth, I cannot say with certainty, but they help me make sense of the world I see. And to date, I lean on the belief that Scripture reveals reality far more deeply than we often realize.

Do You Really Need to Follow the Rules?

Who told you that you have to be part of this system? Who told you that you need to sit in school for five hours a day? Who told you that you need to go to college, find your soulmate, get married, and have kids? Who told you that you have to work 50, 60, 70 hours a week?

Who?

Who told you that you have to pretend to be happy? When did social media start deciding what you should wear, what you should like, what you should be?

Society has become suffocating. But breaking free from the system is a gift. It’s a whole new way of seeing the world—without limits. And it makes you more human.

What If Life Is Just One Long Job Interview for the Afterlife?👻

A Horrifying Theory on Why Bad Things Keep Happening to Good People

Let’s be real—life makes no f*cking sense. Good people get dragged through hell, while complete human dumpster fires live in luxury, scamming their way to yachts and private islands.

But what if that’s the whole point?

What if life isn’t just a chaotic mess, but actually one long, grueling job interview to determine whether you’re getting “hired” into the afterlife?

Yeah. Buckle up. This theory is about to make everything way worse.

📄 Step 1: Congrats, You’ve Been Shortlisted for an Unpaid Eternity 🎉

Welcome to existence! You didn’t apply for this. You didn’t agree to this. But guess what? You’re in the running whether you like it or not.

From the moment you’re born, you’re tested. Not just on the obvious stuff—morality, kindness, intelligence—but on your ability to endure absolute f*ckery.

And much like a terrible corporate job interview, you weren’t given any instructions.

What’s the criteria? No clue.

Who’s doing the hiring? God? Aliens? Some celestial HR department?

What’s the position? We still don’t know, but apparently, it involves “proving yourself” endlessly.

💀 Step 2: Your Resume is Just One Long List of Suffering

Think about it—struggle is the ultimate qualification.

Want to be seen as “strong?” You better suffer first.

Want wisdom? Better go through some trauma.

Want to be a “good person?” You better get f*cked over and not become bitter.

Meanwhile, the absolute worst people in society? The ones who treat others like garbage and somehow thrive? They’re not even in the running anymore.

They already failed the interview.

Earth is just their severance package.

So if life keeps handing you back-to-back bullsh*t, congratulations! You’re still a candidate.

☠️ Step 3: The “Unpaid Internship” Phase (a.k.a. Why Everything Feels Unfair as F*ck)

You ever notice how some people just coast through life effortlessly?

Trust-fund babies? Not even in the process.

Mediocre billionaires? Already rejected.

People who somehow keep failing upwards? Yeah, their application’s been shredded.

Meanwhile, you’re in the trenches, grinding through never-ending lessons in patience, disappointment, and character development.

Why?

Because this is the unpaid internship phase of eternity.

No benefits.

No clear goal.

Just endless hoops to jump through in the hopes that, at some point, you get “hired” into whatever the f*ck comes next.

🚪 Step 4: The Final Interview (a.k.a. Death)

After all the tests, heartbreak, and suffering, you die.

This is the moment of truth. The celestial hiring manager reviews your life choices, moral compass, and ability to suffer with dignity.

Then? They decide:

✅ Do you get hired? (a.k.a. Good Afterlife?) 🔄 Do you get reincarnated and sent back to try again? (Fck.*) 👻 Do you get ghosted entirely and left in limbo? (Oops, no eternal job for you.)

Or, worse…

What if there was never a job to begin with?

📺 Step 5: What If This Was Just a Cosmic Reality Show?

What if all of this suffering, all of these “tests”—were just for entertainment?

They throw random obstacles at you for drama.

They set up toxic relationships to see if you’ll leave.

They make sure you experience both hope and despair—just for the plot.

And then, when you die?

They just start a new season.

🤔 So What’s the Play Here?

If life is one long job interview for the afterlife, you have two options:

1. Play Along & Try to "Win"

Be a decent person, even when it sucks.

Keep suffering and pretending it’s for a reason.

Hopefully, get “hired” into the good afterlife.

2. Say ‘F*ck It’ & Stop Playing the Game

Reject the suffering = meaning equation.

Find joy in the little things, because maybe this is all we get.

Do whatever makes you happy, because the rules were never clear anyway.

Maybe the trick is realizing the whole hiring process is a scam and just enjoying the ride before they pull the plug.

🔥 REBLOG if you’ve ever felt like life is just one long-ass prank. 🤡🔄 💬 COMMENT if you think you’d pass or fail the interview. 🚩🚩🚩 🚀 FOLLOW for more unfiltered existential chaos. 🕵️‍♂️💣

Religion in Ishael

"The faith born from divine questions, not answers."

Origins and Theological Foundations

The Ishaelic religion emerged in the 9th century BCE in the city of Ishael, located in west of Samaria. Rooted in the teachings of Ishael, the son of Esau and Mahalath, it centered on the belief that "questioning God" was the highest form of piety. Key tenets include:

The Twenty Sacred Questions: A set of existential and ethical inquiries believed to have been divinely revealed to Ishael. Examples: "Why does silence reign when the righteous cry out?"; "Can a mortal’s defiance rewrite divine decree?"

Progressive Revelation: The idea that divine truth unfolds through a lineage of Twenty Prophets, categorized as Mythical, Ancient, and Recent.

The Ashalah Tree: A sacred white acacia symbolizing the link between humanity’s doubts and divine wisdom. Its leaves were used in rituals to "invoke clarity."

Sacred Texts

1. The Scroll of Inquiry (Megillat ha-Sh’elot)

The oldest surviving text, written in a hybrid of Paleo-Hebrew and Aramaic, contains:

The original 20 Questions attributed to Ishael.

Prophetic commentaries, including Job’s meditation on suffering and Miriam’s ode to liberation.

A liturgical calendar tied to celestial events (e.g., rituals during the Pleiades’ zenith).

2. The Codex of the Twenty Prophets

Compiled in the 7th century BCE, this text blends history and theology:

Mythical Prophets: Treated as archetypes (e.g., Joseph as the "Interpreter of Dreams").

Recent Prophets: Controversially includes figures like Denial (Daniel), whose apocalyptic visions predate his historical existence.

Religious Practices

The Rite of Unanswered Questions: Pilgrims traveled to the Altar of Questions in Tel Ishael, where they inscribed their doubts on clay tablets and left them in the altar’s 20 niches.

The Festival of Whispers: Held at the autumn equinox, participants whispered the Sacred Questions into the wind, believing they would reach God’s ear.

The Scepter of Ashalah: A branch from the sacred tree carried by priests during disputes, symbolizing that "even justice must be questioned."

Hierarchy and Leadership

The Ishaelic priesthood was divided into three orders, mirroring the prophetic categories: Order Role Attire Mythkeepers Guardians of oral traditions Robes dyed with pomegranate Lawseekers Interpreters of sacred texts Bronze headbands inscribed with questions Visionaries Prophets-in-training Feathers from migratory birds (symbolizing foresight)

Archaeological Insights

Excavations at Tel Ishael (1960s–present) revealed:

The Question Altar: A limestone structure with 20 chambers, each holding fragments of tablets bearing variations of the Sacred Questions.

Ishael’s Tomb: A burial site containing a skeleton surrounded by 20 stone tablets. Inscriptions read: "Here lies the Questioner, whose voice echoes in heaven."

A Forgotten Library: Clay tablets referencing trade with Phoenicia and Egypt, including a treaty demanding "the right to doubt foreign gods."

Scholarly Disputes

Was Ishael a Dissident Priest?

Some argue he was a Canaanite priest who rejected Baal worship, repurposing local myths into monotheistic inquiry.

The “Recent” Anachronism:

References to Ezekiel (Jesuel) and Esther (Star) suggest the Codex was edited during the Babylonian exile to legitimize the tradition.
