The Meaning of тоска

“Toska - noun /ˈtō-skə/ - Russian word roughly translated as sadness, melancholia, lugubriousness.
"No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.”   - Vladimir Nabokov

The Fracture of Nothing

Nihilism is the belief of nothing. It is the belief that nothing has any real existence or any real importance. It is the belief that we cannot understand the reality that we are in because of our emotional attachment to it. And emotional attachment s keep you from understanding the world. We are slaves to our passions. We are slaves to our passions. World War I taught us that the Romantic view of the Past, the view of dulce et decorum est was just silly. People die in wars. People die in wars in rather unromantic ways, such as gas and VDs. We need to escape the Matrix. We need to free our minds. Nihilism can help us do that. It helps us see that the world is merely phenomenological. It is merely what can be seen, tasted and touched. Romanticism provides nobody anything but more and more babyish flirtations, and while flirting may be good for teens, it does not make a real life. We need a real world.

Aristolte Physics Book 1

When the objects of an inquiry, in any department, have principles, conditions, or elements, it is through acquaintance with these that knowledge, that is to say scientific knowledge, is attained. For we do not think that we know a thing until we are acquainted with its primary conditions or first principles, and have carried our analysis as far as its simplest elements. Plainly therefore in the science of Nature, as in other branches of study, our first task will be to try to determine what relates to its principles.

The natural way of doing this is to start from the things which are more knowable and obvious to us and proceed towards those which are clearer and more knowable by nature; for the same things are not 'knowable relatively to us' and 'knowable' without qualification. So in the present inquiry we must follow this method and advance from what is more obscure by nature, but clearer to us, towards what is more clear and more knowable by nature.

Now what is to us plain and obvious at first is rather confused masses, the elements and principles of which become known to us later by analysis. Thus we must advance from generalities to particulars; for it is a whole that is best known to sense-perception, and a generality is a kind of whole, comprehending many things within it, like parts. Much the same thing happens in the relation of the name to the formula. A name, e.g. 'round', means vaguely a sort of whole: its definition analyses this into its particular senses. Similarly a child begins by calling all men 'father', and all women 'mother', but later on distinguishes each of them.

From the Almagest

From the Almagest:
It seems to me that these true philosophers, Syrus, very wisely separated the theoretical part of philosophy from the practical. For even if this happens, practicality will prove to be theoretical before it becomes practical, but one can find a great difference in them; not only because some moral virtues may belong to the everyday unconscious man and one cannot come to the theory of entire sciences without learning, but also because in practical matters the biggest advantage is the continuous and repeated operation of things in themselves, while in knowledge theoretical should be followed. Therefore, we thought about practicing our activities even in the application of imagination, not to forget about everything that would happen, taking into account their beautiful and well-ordered disposition, and devote ourselves to meditation mainly to make many beautiful statements, and especially those called mathematics.
 In fact, Aristotle quite correctly divides theory into three direct types: physical, mathematical and theological. Considering that all beings have their existence from matter, form and movement, and that none of them is visible, but only thoughts in their subject separately from others, if one should look in their simplicity for the first cause of the first cause by moving in the universe , he would consider God invisible and unchanging. And the science that seeks Him is theology; for such an act can only be considered high above somewhere near the highest things in the universe and is absolutely independent of reasonable things. But a kind of science that tracks this material and constantly moving quality and is related to white, warmth, sweetness, softness and such things would be called physics; and such an essence, because it is only what it is, is found in corrupt things and below the lunar sphere. And a kind of science that shows quality in terms of forms and local movements, character search, number and size, as well as place, time and similar things would be defined as mathematics. For such an essence falls somewhere between the other two, not only because it can be felt with both senses and without senses, but also because it is the case of absolutely all mortal and immortal beings, things that change with them always change , according to their irreversible form, and maintaining the unchangeable form immutability in eternal and ethereal things.

What is observation?


picture a realm with no up nor down. this is the world of nullo space
. who hasn't had a dream where he is floating absolutely naked in space, away from everything and everyone. this is what we mean about the taking in of the whole universe. But what does it mean to exist? What is an universe?

A world with no up nor down

What would you do, if tomorrow, you found out that the world that we all think that we know turned out to be false? What if the story that you have been spoonfed turns out to not exist? Imagine a world with neither up nor down. this is the world of astronauts. this is the world that we live in. to a certain extent, the flat earthers are correct. Their perspective is self-consistent, and is it not true that a curved surface appears to be a line close up? Why do we call one ☝ direction up or down? Who knows? are people in space actually moving?
