David Bohm's Implicate Order

Implicate order and explicate order are ontological concepts for quantum theory coined by theoretical physicist David Bohm during the early 1980s. They are used to describe two different frameworks for understanding the same phenomenon or aspect of reality (source: Wikipedia).

1. Implicate Order: This refers to a deeper level of reality where everything is interconnected and enfolded into a single whole. In this order, the distinctions we perceive in the explicate order (the world of separate objects and events) are merely surface manifestations of a more profound unity.
2. Explicate Order: This is the observable world, where things appear distinct and separate. Bohm suggests that this order emerges from the implicate order, much like a flower unfolds from a bud.

Key Themes

• Interconnectedness: Bohm emphasizes that all aspects of reality are interconnected, and understanding this can lead to a more holistic view of existence.
• Consciousness: He explores the relationship between consciousness and the physical world, proposing that thought itself is part of the flow of reality rather than a separate entity.
• Language and Thought: Bohm critiques conventional language and thought patterns that promote fragmentation and division, advocating for a more fluid and dynamic understanding of reality.

David Bohm argued there is an underlying order he called the "implicate order" that gives rise to the separate objects and events we observe in the visible world (source: here).

Bohm suggested that what we see in the physical world is just a projection or “unfolding” from this deeper implicate order.

"Wholeness and the Implicate Order" is his book on the topic.

Socioemotional Selectivity Theory

This theory that reframed how we think about aging and relationships

In the early 1990s, Stanford psychologist Laura Carstensen proposed something that challenged nearly every assumption researchers held about social life in old age. Her theory, called socioemotional selectivity theory, suggested that as people become more aware of their limited time, they don’t lose interest in connection. They get more deliberate about it.

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Brillant work of Larry David (co-creator of Seinfeld, most popular sitcom of all times).

Curb Your Enthusiasm. (HBO)

Highly recommend it, good laugh, a lot of wisdom.

I don't like to be out of my comfort zone, which is about a half an inch wide.

When you're not concerned with succeeding, you can work with complete freedom.I'm trying to elevate small-talk to medium talk. (just like I do all the time ;-) )

Herzog

One of my favorite directors: Werner Herzog.

Not just because we were born on the same day but also because of his wonderful work and his opinion about psychiatrists and psychotherapists ;-) 

I highly recommend his book Every Man for Himself and God Against All: A Memoir by Werner Herzog | Goodreads,

Don't miss to see the nihilist pinguin.

Herzog is true genius! :-)

The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“There is no perfection only life”, from The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

After more than 30 years I am reading Milan Kundera again. 

I can recall many quote and I remembered how much I had enjoyed imagining living in Prague when I was reading his books as a teenager. At some point I even wanted to study at Prague Film School (which I visited back in 2004!).

Seems like as was an existentialist from an early age, just did not know it.

And another one from Kundera: "Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace."
