To get lost, you must first have a path to stray away from, so, congratulations. You have taken the biggest step. Now that you feel somewhat good about yourself, let’s try to figure out how to get back on track. I must give credit to Aristotle in this case since he will allow me to introduce the Golden Mean. This is basically a hint at living a balanced life, or the power of balance. To stray away from our path, we must have gone too far right, or left. I’m not saying that th

Yes, dynamic terms are more desirable than static terms, but that does not make static terms unnecessary. You may have understood this but reconsidering the previous chapter, the main reason static terms are undesirable is that they are impossible to achieve. They are inapplicable, they simply do not work in reality. Dynamic terms are adjustments we make to create a sense of achievability in values that we choose to dictate our lives. They are convenient. Convenient is not ne

Is freedom actually a good thing? Should we be free? The first thing we may need to consider when asking these questions is actually to conclude whether there is a universal set of ethics principles. Many philosophers in the past and even now still create discourse on this topic but I will not be getting into it too much because it is simply unnecessary. Whether or not we can establish universal principles of ethics does not affect if it makes sense to suggest an understandin

Can anybody or anything escape the internal limitations presented? I have already made my case on humans, but what about God? The likeliness is that no, they’re not free either. Then, does God exist? I’d say no, at least not in the context that they are given to us in the Abrahamic religions. See, in the traditional Christian, Jewish, and Muslim beliefs, God has no limits to their abilities and decision-making. However, I’d argue that they do. God’s limitation is the holy mor

Jean Jacques Rousseau said that humanity is “born free, and everywhere (they are) in chains.” However, I’d like to question whether that statement is true or false. First, it is necessary to understand what the term “freedom” really means. The word “freedom” comes from the Germanic word frijadōm  which is considered to mean “the state of being free, of not being imprisoned or enslaved” or “the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants.” If we break down the definiti

Introduction The past three years have given us the most aggressive monetary tightening cycle in the UK since the early 1980s. This is seen by the contractionary policies of The Bank of England (BoE), increasing the Bank Rate from near the zero lower bound in 2021 to as high as 5.25% mid-2024. 1  Despite this tightening, GDP growth has not seen a significant decrease. 2  However, the UK has been going through what can be a ‘silent credit crunch,’ a gradual but meaningful tigh

Abstract Although an abundance of research shows that education contributes to economic well-being and market efficiency, little research considers the ways in which it relates to monopolies. This research analyzes how varying levels of education affect the strength, and creation of monopolies in markets. I argue that education rationalizes the consumer by enhancing individual and collective decision-making and increasing innovation and entrepreneurship, all of which undermin
