Happiness Is A Scam, Santosh Jha [bill gates books recommendations txt] 📗

open and breathe the air of non-intuitiveness of perspectives and cognition to decipher knowledge in its entirety and holism.

Human knowledge has progressed leaps and bounds. The languages, humanity evolved and matured through centuries, however have only deteriorated and got emaciated. Much of the sensibilities, rhythm and musicality of languages have either dried up or vitiated. The languages surely haven’t kept pace with the exponential growth in human knowledge in many fields; thanks to modern and contemporary science. The contemporary scientific knowledge about brains, human physiology, information processing and evolutionary factuality has created such a milieu of insightfulness for us that humanity now needs to dump most of its old, archaic and obsolete ideas and analogies of reality. Contemporary knowledge of Reality seeks a new human, a new human system of life-living, alternative cognition of realities, a novel language system and above all; a novel and alternative culture of ‘Perception’ of Reality; based not on old, archaic and now obsolete patterns of analogies, metaphors and symbolizations but based on objective and measurable science of Reality. As humanity does it; loads of scams shall be busted and it shall pave ways for a truly meaningful and truthful life-living.

As I said, we still have to use this very restrictive media of language to express even the novel and alternative realities, which contemporary scientific knowledge of reality facilitates; we need to rise above and consciously make efforts to liberate ourselves from restrictiveness of languages too. This is my humble request.

As we talked earlier; reality, as we all perceive and is unraveled to us, is always ‘contextual’. It is critical cognition to visualize and internalize that Reality almost always gets unraveled to us as contextual to perspective or a vantage point of subjective or collective observance. To simplify this expression – whatever we see, feel and accept as something real and true, is perceived and realized largely through an analogy, symbol or metaphor; like we talked above about happiness, life or love. The ‘context’, which shapes up or extends ‘form’ to a reality, is not only confined to symbolizations of languages we know and speak. The contexts for human perceptional universe are so many. We shall talk in detail about such ‘contexts’ and the modern knowledge about these contexts as well as their role in restricting and limiting the perception of realities for us. Alternatively, we can also call these contexts as filters. This shall help us in unraveling the scam, we have hypothesized about.

The mention of context here is to point out to the fact that different contextuality creates segregated perception of realities. Like; if someone accepts ‘happiness is health’, shall have different overall feel and perception of happiness, compared to someone who accepts, ‘Happiness is Success’. The contexts are different as different symbols or analogies have been used as media of expression of context. Despite the fact that both sets of perceptional insistence talk about the singular ‘reality’ of Happiness; they are so different and powerful that they have almost divided the human world into two mutually exclusive ‘belief systems’.

The crucial point, we deal with in this eBook is how different ‘forces’ – personal as well as collective, conscious as well as subconscious, innate as well as synthetic, motivated-orchestrated as well as unintentional, etc. work their ways to influence and even scam the ‘contexts’ or ‘filters’ of perceptions; thus making a reality, like Happiness stand exposed to many manipulations and depravity. This makes Happiness a deeply scammed reality as the very perceptions about Happiness are itself subjected to fake-fudged-farcical-fraudulent contexts. As we understand this all; we shall have better understanding of the reality of happiness, which in turn shall optimize our wellness. This is the core purpose and intent of this eBook.

This we are talking to hypothesize; as we have talked earlier; that the cosmos of perception is deep and wide because the contexts, which shape up perceptions or feel, are so many and diverse. The language, we speak, add more diversity to it. However, the important question is – How many different contexts or vantage points of perceptions do we accept and feel comfortable with? We need to ask, ‘Is our brain receptive of and has pathways for multi-dimensional realities?’ Another consequential query is – Where are the easy and available inputs sustaining such multidimensionality of reality? Does an average person have easy and galvanized access to information and knowledge of diverse contexts and perspectives, which facilitate multidimensionality? Also, do average men and women have the cultural mind training to accept and be respectful of diversity of perceptions about singular reality? Are our cultures, societies and polity oriented to be facilitative of multidimensionality of reality?

No doubt; as modern scientific knowledge tells us; the human brain is structurally wired for such multidimensionality. However, functionally; primarily because of populist and dominant cultural insinuations; human brain of average person is typically averse to and disrespectful to any other perception of reality, which it has and accepts as true and right. It is a huge tragedy that modern scientific knowledge is so rarely available for average person and they do not entertain it; even if made available. Almost routinely; what one sees and lives out; in his or her ambient and localized cultural milieu, is what the brain accepts as the only real and true reality. The cosmos of perception may be deep and wide but for average person, reality often is singular; very localized, perceptional and what it has been fed by the populist and dominant cultural insinuations. How can then change happen?

Here, in this eBook, we shall journey very different perspectives as we shall essentially talk about how our brain works and deals with contexts, perspectives, symbols and metaphors. We shall talk every possible aspect of contemporary knowledge, which modern science has deciphered for us, to understand how important it is to dump our old and obsolete perceptions about ourselves, external world of society and cultures as well as the benchmarks and ideas we have been living out. We shall talk about all aspects of our life-living, which shall facilitate our understanding of how novel and alternative realities and their internalization can lead us to real and true appreciation of realities; including ‘Happiness’.

We have hypothesized that Happiness Is A Scam and as we shall journey all relevant information, which this hypothesis embraces; we shall in turn create a possible advocacy of novel and alternative perspectives and contexts. This advocacy is aimed at enabling us to discover the multidimensionality of realities in their holism and entirety. This shall journey us to multidimensionality of true and real blissfulness, poise and contentment. We do it for You – For you to optimize your true Potentials and process your true Wellness. This may kindly be accepted as the intent and purpose of this enterprise, you have now become part of. Thanks!

PREFACE

Knowledge is not required for successful life-living. It seems a cultural idea; rather an acquired aptitude that a child must be educated and obtain knowledge about lot many aspects of life-living, milieus and other skills to grow as a successful man or woman. Nature and evolution didn’t seek such a pursuit of what we know and accept as ‘Knowledge’. Rather, nature and evolution have their own sets of wisdom, which they wired in organisms, through bio-chemical information registry. Every healthy organism, including humans, has necessary intelligence for ‘successful’ life-living, embedded and pre-installed in cellular life-cycle, with the help of chemically scripted information plexus.

For thousands of years, humans had no idea about the science of body and brain. The true, objective, measurable knowledge about the innate intelligence of human body-mind has been unraveled now to humanity as modern science has journeyed beyond limits of sensory perceptions to dive deep into the complexities of realities of human structures. This has clearly facilitated our understanding about how perception and belief based synthetic intelligence of humanity played havoc with nature’s innate and highly evolved intelligence embedded in body and brain. This is the time to correct the wrongs and journey the path of rights, as science makes us understand. It is time to acknowledge true ‘Knowledge’ and install its rightful place in learning mechanisms, be if formal or informal.

Science has this instinctive inquisition to work towards unraveling and deciphering the wisdom of nature and evolution. This is very much a core pursuit of unraveling and deciphering ‘Reality’ and how it works – the Causality. Science looks out for entrenched intelligence of nature and evolution in creating a reality. This is true and real knowledge humanity can boast of and should invest time and energy on. Why? We shall journey this question at every stage of this eBook.

However, tragically enough, modern humanity considers ‘knowledge’ as some sort of acquired skills and abilities to create goodies and services for systematic working of human societies. With such huge and unproductive population load humanity has heaped on limited resources of Earth, there is a singular ‘knowledge’ mass majority of humans seek and that is livelihood skills. Mass majority of humans in contemporary human milieus have only one knowledge need for survival-sustenance and this need is so elusive and precariously fulfilled that average person simply cannot afford to even think of any other and true knowledge.

The primary novelty and alternativeness of perception of life-living realities and human existence is to understand this cardinal difference between the innate intelligence-wisdom of nature-evolution and that of synthetic human society-culture. We also need to understand and accept that all intelligence of nature and evolution cannot be acknowledged as good and right in human world. Cultures and civilized life-living over the millenniums have handled this conflict and contradiction between diverse intelligence of nature-evolution and human righteousness-appropriates. However, in modern and contemporary human world, what has to be understood and realized with sincerity that over the centuries; human intelligence, overriding nature-evolution intelligence, has unleashed far more disasters and painfulness, which it sought to undo by replacing nature-evolution intelligence. Primary reason for this disaster is, humanity has only just begun to unravel and decipher the true intelligence of nature, evolution.

There are uncountable examples of how even in modern life-living of 21st century; globally, unscientific and illogical ideas are still accepted as the core philosophy for appropriates and righteousness. The best example is the contemporary jurisprudence system, prevalent all over the globe. It is old, archaic, obsolete and based on unscientific and abstract ideas and idealisms. The current jurisprudence system is based on such philosophical realities, which modern science has discredited and discarded years back. The judicial system and the laws that our courts follow, have little scientific basis as they still have old and obsolete ideas about human consciousness, cognitions, intentionality and many related ideas, on which courts dispense ‘justice’ to all. Naturally, courts are dispensing loads of ‘scams’ as their ‘perceptions’ of reality is based on scammed knowledge of Reality of Humanity and Causalities. Such scammed perceptions in turn become the workshop of manufacturing brilliance of depravity and criminality, which legal system breeds all over the globe. The same is happening in the domains of polity, economy, religion, etc. We have no space to detail all these here. However, an aware person must delve into this aspect of contemporary cultures of governance and legalities.

It is also very critical to understand how nature’s intelligence works and how evolution installed its own innate intelligence in every organism. We need to talk about all these in contemporary times of human depravity and collapsing human cultures all over the globe. Modern science has unraveled so much of the mysteries surrounding us and our perceptions. Humanity desperately needs to revisit all aspects of cultures and life-living benchmarks of wellness, success, purposes and aims. The scams in all these cognitive realities need to be known and weeded out. This we intend to do in this eBook, in short though, by attempting to build a hypothesis about scams, human world is infested with, primarily because of our flawed understanding of different intelligences and perceptions of realities.

It needs to be kept in mind that when we say something
