Why younger generation prefers Binge watching

Netflix, Amazon Prime are all increasing the number of good quality TV shows out there but why is it that people are generally focused on binge time rather than waiting everyday bit by bit. Well the matter boils down to the fact that younger generation wants everything fast. It's the time of instant gratification and binge watching does exactly that. Over usage of mobile phones has led us to the constant incompleteness if people don't check it within half an hour. Nobody likes to wait for the next episode and if there was a possibility to access all episodes at once maybe twenty years back people would have developed the binge habit.

Today's life is fast paced and there is no time to wait. The world of instant gratification and no struggle with inner self takes place now. You want to date, no more awkward approaches or the problem of shyness, you can just swipe on Tinder and hide behind that blue screen.
This is also the reason why so many people are facing issues with social life. There is less struggle with inner demons. Four friends sitting in a cafe and all of them staring in their mobile, this is no longer a shock. Its so common now and Binge watching is the baby of this technological advancement.
The question is that - is it all bad?
Well, its not that bad if we look at the lifestyle of people today. The only time people feel free is during weekends and the rest of week they are too involved in their day to day work. Taking time off from the reality to escape into a world of fantasy for a day or two isn't bad. Its bad when we overdo it so much that it affects our circadian rhythm, unhealthy eating habits because we can't get off from the couch to cook something healthy. If these things come into the picture then its just negligence on our part. The sudden high to the extreme and the sudden lows followed by the feeling of emptiness is what happens when we finish binge watching a TV show. Anyhow, its rewarding and less frustrating when done right and unhealthy and destructive if we get too greedy.

The problem with Inception(The Movie)

Hoping that you have already seen the movie, I will highlight a few points which are of vital importance and constitute the main part of Inception. To all those who have not seen Inception, I will give a quick review of the problem. When the protagonists enter his dreams, and again in this dream he dreams of another dream which finally lands him into a world of recursive dreams. The problem he faced was that he couldn't identify exactly which was the last dream. So he was stuck at one place not knowing exactly whether to go back to the previous dream or accept the current situation as reality.



But my problem is very different from the problem Inception faced.The person who is watching the dream when rises from it, how can you convince yourself that the rising part is not another dream.
To make the problem clear let me elucidate it with an example-
Suppose there is a person named John who is dreaming. Now he wants to get up. So instead of the usual thinking i.e. of  rising from bed, he again dreams of rising from bed. The problem is that he is watching a dream within a dream but he is not aware of the problem.

P.S. - Just an idea

How to think like Sherlock Holmes

We all know that Sherlock Holmes was one of the greatest detective who left an impression on the minds of people. Even though he was a fictitious character, his methods can be applied to real life cases except for some of his obsolete methods which can now be covered with technology. But how can you deduce from so little information ? The answer lies in the fact we are all a storehouse of information. But the problem lies in the fact that most of this information is futile and a waste. Cluttering the mind with such facts will only block the mind towards thinking clearly. Most of the people are not so dedicated towards this but we can still have such skills if we will strive for it. There are few things you must do before going for excellent deductions.
First, meditate. Well you will say Sherlock never meditated but if you will look carefully, he did. Remember when he got stuck on a case, he used to sit in a corner in his chair thinking deeply. Now to think on a single topic requires concentration and to concentrate one must free himself from all thoughts that are useless.

Second, look for information that pertains to your field in which you want your deduction process to be at its peak. No one is perfect, so leave the idea that everyone will have same level of deduction in every field. But this does not mean ignoring the facts that have have no relevance with each other. It always looks like that but if you will look closely everything is connected to every other thing. Let me clarify what is clutter. Clutter actually are those things which will not effect your life in any process that is not useful in your field. e.g. Hollywood and TV sitcoms gossip.
But what is the foremost important thing in deduction is to observe. Observe everything around you acutely. For example take a wall writing that somebody has written something on it. Now suppose the word was ‘Greatness’. Now from outside it means nothing except its literal meaning. But if you will observe carefully, the curve of ‘G’ and all the other curves in word are slightly bigger in the left side will indicate the person is left-handed. Now the height at which the word is written will indicate the height of the person. A person usually starts writing on boards and walls at his eye level. So height can be easily deduced. If the word is going in an upward direction it will indicate his subconscious state which is that of a higher ambition. If the direction is falling down it indicates a state of depression or stress. Also notice the word he is using is 'Greatness' which implies that he want that thing and is currently not in possession of it. Also notice he is writing it on a wall which is accessible to many people which confirms the previous fact that he is not in possession of it.Now let us get back to the wall, if the wall was whitewashed and the letter is still there, carefully scratch the word and check after which layer of whitewash it becomes invisible. Now all you need to know is that when that wall was whitewashed. Check the location of wall and note down the room in which it is located. Also check it up at whitewashing registers when was the house dealt with. Also check the sign against the house indicating its owner at that time. Now you have the name of the family, height of the person, his preferred hand, his mental state and his writing. You can visit the family and ask them their room preference which can be used as a confirmation of your deductions.

So lets’ get back to the starting point, we only had one word ‘Greatness’ and we can deduce from the writing step by step to the person who had actually written that word.

Let us now deduce the process of deduction. If we analyze carefully, we start from pretty small observations which lead to another clue and then it can be connected to a remotely available resource that you have. Exploiting that resource to gain more information may lead to another clue. When you have enough different clues available, club them together to get the information that you want. And when deducing certain things always form a tree of reasons. When one branch connects to the other more easily then that is the final path which you should consider. Usually few branches will connect to the situation more strongly than the other. Stick to it and combine this chain of events to get to the root. Now form a theory which explains the reason of every clue, you may have multiple theories at times. This only indicates that you are still not at the root and you still need few clues which are strongly connected to the root. Reaching a single theory which explains the reason of all clues is an indication of accomplishment of your goal.

Is Marriage is mass hypnotism?

In the world we are living, people believe that if two people are married then there is nothing in the world that can break it except divorce. And what marriage is for other people , eating sweets, meeting relatives and watching dance and enjoying the show.

But you see we don't see the truth that is hidden behind all this chaotic drama. When all things, people focus their energy on two people namely the bride and bridegroom, they think that something big is happening to them. The gathering of people only creates a social pressure after which the ritual is performed. It is again hypnotizing the people concerned who are unaware of the ritual being performed but its only result i.e. being bonded to another person.

If you will see carefully the ritual has nothing to do with two people , it only creates a feeling that something has happened to them, something big. The witnesses(guests) also add to the fact of what they are feeling.
Now the two people have a sense of security and they won't break-up easily over a single fight .... But they will turn their backs after a divorce. Now divorce is again a remedy to this psychological problem, how can a scratch on a paper break the lifelong bond that was built by the ritual during marriage. Its bullshit...
No no not the divorce paper , the marriage... Its just a hypnotism created by the society just to pressurize two people to live together....
Marriage is just like a contract... You sign it when you agree and you can leave the contract at your own free will...... What a great society we have :)
Edit 1: After three years I am updating this and this completely changes the above comment on marriage. Marriage has become an essential element of human society that must be saved. Sure it is hypnotism but the fact that it is not working anymore is why we need to strengthen the bond between people. We need to restore the faith in marriage. I will make an edit when I will think about a solution to this world-wide problem.
