Chat with AI
I have been talking to ChatGPT the whole afternoon, asking him about the main theory of each philosopher in the history, from ancient Greece to the 20th’s century. I have to admit that I had never found philosophy so interesting!
Thinking retrospectively, the main reason I haven’t read more about philosophy is that the books are often too hard to interpret. I remember that I bought a book about Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Derrida when I was in middle school and I did not understand a single word of it. Very likely, the translation has made the language more convoluted.
ChatGPT has solved the problem in some way. If an idea is too complicated that I cannot understand, I can just ask him to explain it in simpler words. A lot of the times, he will give me examples with great metaphors, which significantly improves my reading experiences.
Another merit of using ChatGPT is that I can form a discussion with him. Whenever I have questions about certain statements or definitions, I can always challenge him and he usually can give me a good answer. If not, I can keep asking follow-up questions and the discussion goes on and on. It’s like talking to a knowledgeable friend with similar interests. As a beginner, I am quite satisfied with the quality of our conversation.
I know that this is nowhere close to academic training, but it did help me to get a bit into the mystery world of philosophy. It’s probably a good way to start for someone who wants to learn philosophy at the beginner level. I have recently gained the interest because I was reading histories and it was fun to see how people in different eras perceived the universe based on different social and scientific conditions. And obviously you can also see the great impact of philosophy on shaping people’s ideas and eventually lead the social or scientific revolution.

A Man Who Gets On the Road With A Dream
There is a man named Santiago. He has same dream 2 times. It felt so real therefore he wants to go somewhere to understand what his dream means. The person who go to learn meaning of his dream, says “You have a treasure but I am going to tell where it is if you give 1/10 your treasure.”He does not believe at the beginning and he says “Okay, I will” by thinking this is not true even and learns that his treasure is next to the Pyramids. He does not believe and at the same time thinks “If it is true?”. He gives up being a clergyman which is a request of his parents, and becomes a sheephead wich he could travel around the world and see it. So he really wants to go to Pyramids but he does not want to leave his sheeps behind. These sheeps became his everything during years. For instance, one of the sheeps, has a problem with its leg. Therefore he shows special attention for it. As a result of his internal deliberations, he does not go anywhere.
One day, while he is reading book, an old man comes to talk with him. The old man persists to have a conversation even though he does not want. He just wants to read his book without any interrupts. Although he does not hear the old man, he is telling something still. Suddenly, old man starts telling Santiago’s whole life. I mean his WHOLE LİFE. EVERYTHİNG. He lifts his head from book he reads and looks soil. The old man draws his life by telling so realistic way. The old man wants 1/10 of his sheeps for saying something about his treasure. He accepts and learns something about his treasure again. The old man says”That is your personal legend. If you do not make your personal legend real, you will be like everyone who only wants to stay alive without any meaning. That is your choice. And also do not forget that the universe does not turns back to someone tries to make his/her personel legend real.
During couple days, he thinks what to do. He needs to make decisions. To do what he knows already or to do what he wants but does not know anything about and giving up everything he has now.
He chose make his dream real. He sold his sheeps and sets of with this money. He needs an assistant because he does not know language which is used in Egypt. He meets with a foreigner. The foreigner accepts to help him. They go somewhere to eat. Santiago has no idea about what to eat and asks for choosing and paying for meal and he also trusts his money to this foreigner. The owner of the restaurant comes and says something in different language but an angry way. After that, foreigner says “Let’s get out of here.” They eat and drink. He has his first problem at the morning. The foreigner defrauts him. He has no money anymore. He chooses to get a job to comeback to home. He finds a work at a glass factory. He works there a year. The work at the glass factory adds lots of value to him. For example, this glass factory does not have so much custumer because his place is at tap of uphill and a few people walk up the hill. A little while later, Santiago realises that after tourists walking up the hill, they need some drinks or just a cup of cold water. He offers to serve drinks with products at the shop to tourists to owner. After they start to do that, this shop becomes famous.
“Give people what they need.”
At the end of the year, he decided to continue his road. He sets off again.
He has to pass the huge desert. It will take so much time and be dangerous. He finds an alchemist who accepts to help him. A war breaks out in the desert. He must stay somewhere for a while. He meets with a woman in there and she becomes his love of life. However everyone has a personal legend, she has, he has, too. They love each other. But it will take time to become each other because love is not a barrier, it makes life meaningful, means sharing everything. Therefore they do not stop each other. He will come back again after finding his treasure and she will do her own. (If they go together? I do not know🤷🏻♀️)
He and Alchemist set off again, despite the war. Armed foreign men block their way, they look for their belongings and ask what they are doing here during the war. Soldiers ask what it is. The Alchemist says “This is the elixir of immortality and this is the Philosopher's stone. Soldiers laugh and let them go. Santiago is surprised and wonders why the Alchemist said to soldiers true, they could confiscate. The alchemist says “People are blind to what is right in front of them.”
They meet a person on the way. The Alchemist gives them some gold.
That person says “This is so much for me.”
The Alchemist says “Do not say that again. You deserve so much everytime.”
THe Alchemist gives so much gold to Santiago, too. But he does not say anything.
At the end of the novel Santiago finds his treasure and is proud of himself to make his personal legend real.

普通の土曜日
今日は特に変わったことのない普通の土曜日だった。
朝早く起きて朝ごはんにパンを食べ、ピラティスのレッスンへ。ITの仕事で猫背はもうすっかり癖になっていて、悪い体勢で体があっちこっち痛かった。ピラティスはこれを和らげるために始めたのがきっかけだったが今は私の週末のルーティンになっている。
先週はずっと家で仕事をしていたためいくつかの業務が遅れてしまって、運動を終え、ちょっとしたクリスマスの買い物のあとそのまま会社へ向かった。週末出勤は本当に久々のことで、誰もないオフィスはすこし慣れなかった。出勤したのをメッセンジャーに知らせて作業をし始めた。4時間ぐらい頑張ったが、何一つ終わらせなかった。後もうちょっとだったけど、家の家事も残っていたので諦めてそのまま帰った。
その後は家事と英語の勉強、あと趣味としている絵を描いた。特別なことは何もしてないのに、気づいたら外は真っ暗になっていた。冬だから日が短くなったのもあるが、時間を感じれなかったほど1日を集中して過ごしたからかもしれない。
歳を取れば取るほど時間が経つのが早く感じる。昔、大人のみんなが言っていたのを今、身にもって体験している。今日は今先この短い毎日をどうやって過ごしたら良いかもうちょっと考えてから寝るとしよう。

Die Müdigkeit ist stärker
Ich bin total Kapput! Ich bin so müde, dass ich unfähig bin, einen Text zu schreiben. Heute musste ich sehr früh aufstehen. Aus diesem Grund wusste ich, dass ich nur ein paar Stunden schlafen würde, trotzdem habe ich am Ende überhaupt nicht geschlafen. Ich konnte gestern einfach nicht schlafen, vielleicht wegen des Stress der Woche. Außerdem hatte ich während der Woche zu viel Arbeit und habe ich mich nicht genug erholen. Sodass ich schlafen werde.
Bis morgen!

ラテンアメリカ
ラテンアメリカが分かりますか？ラテンアメリカは中南米の国々と、北米のメキシコからなります。ラテンアメリカの国々では、ブラジル以外、スペイン語を話します。ブラジル人はポルトガル語を話します。
アメリカに住んでいるから、ラテンアメリカについてよく聞きます。学校では、アメリカ人の子供たちがスペイン語を勉強します。それと、ラテンアメリカの料理はアメリカで本当に人気ですよ。メキシコの料理は特に人気です。私の町には、メキシコ料理のレストランがたくさんあります。私はチレ・ベルデという料理が大好きです。チレ・ベルデは、豚肉を緑のソースで煮て、米と食べます。緑のソースはトマティーヨというトマトのような野菜から作っています。本当においしいと思います。
私は、スペイン語を勉強しています。英語を話すから、スペイン語は日本語よりとても易しいです。特に読み書きは易しいです。文法でも、単語でも、共通点がたくさんあります。もうスペイン語話者のためのニュースや本を読めます。ラテンアメリカについて習ったことはたくさんあります。

Self-realization
Today I have attended a job exam for the very first time in my life. After giving the exam, I have some realizations that I want to share here. I think I have done a terrible job in studying for a total of 5 years of my bachelor's. I haven't been able to learn that much, and on top of that, I haven't had the time to gather some skills, which would have been a great help now. To start, my English language skill is pretty bad, and for that I also lack confidence in communication. It's not like I can't only speak. I struggle both in speaking and in writing. I think the most obvious challenge is that I can't find necessary words to describe my feelings during communication in English. But today my disappointment reached another level because of the realization I got about my academic knowledge. I don't know how to deal with this situation. Hopefully I will recover. But a support by my side would have made my struggle easier.

Jour férié
Aujourd'hui est un jour férié en Espagne. On celèbre l'approvation de la constitution espagnole actuelle le 6 décembre 1978, peu après la fin de la dictature de Franco. Et donc ce jour a le nom de « Día de la Consitución », c'est-à-dire le jour de la constitution. En ce jour on ne travaille pas (au moins les gens qu'on des journées de travail ordinaires), mais cette année cela n'importe pas parce que c'est samedi donc on n'aurait travaillé également.
Le lundi proche est aussi un jour férié, dans ce cas pour raisons originalement religieuses. Cela signifique que chaque année le 6 et 8 décembre on ne travaille pas. Le 7 décembre n'est pas férié, mais beaucoup de personnes prennent ce jour en vacances également. Selon l'année cela peut rendre jusqu'à cinq jours effectifs où on ne travaille pas. Nombreuses personnes le profitent pour partir en voyage, souvent pour aller faire du ski pour la premiere fois de la saison, car cettes jours habituellement coïncident avec des premieres chutes de neige.

Die Neujahrstimmung
Obwohl es draußen keinen Schnee gibt, bin ich schon voll von der Neujahrstimmung. Ich freue mich sehr auf die kommenden Feiertage, ich will ins Zentrum Moskaus fahren und dort Weinachstmärkte besichtigen. Außerdem habe ich schon meine Festplatte mit meinen Lieblingsfilmen gefüllt, und ich werde sie dann gerne wieder anschauen. Auch Mandarinen sind schon dabei! Es bleibt jetzt nur abzuwarten, bis es anfängt zu schneien.

How hard to find a job in Russia
2 weeks ago I got fired from my job. I worked there for 1 year and now I'm trying to find a new job. It's so hard, almost every employers are crazy. Half of them just ingore me and don't reply anything, other half want me to be Elon Musk. They ask a lot of experience, a lot of knowleges and English at C1 level and at the same time they offer like 400$. Damn, only my rent cost me 300$. That's crazy, all these guys think that people should be a genious with a lot of experience and offer us like nothing. Some no name companies without any career growth possibility, and low salary. They should be thankful for just any guy, because salary like that is awful. I feel like I need to find a needle in a haystack. Because of this the best way to find a job it is your friends or some people you may know, they always have some good jobs and it is the only way to find something well

Faire grève
Le Président a confirmé aux journalistes que les joueurs avaient décidé de faire grève. Mais il n'a pas expliqué la cause.
Les joueurs ont expliqué qu'ils manquaient leurs salaires mensuels, et qu'ils n'en pouvaient plus.
L'entraîneur de l'équipe a demandé au président de payer aux joueurs à fin qu'ils reprennent les entraînements.
Le président a demandé au trésorier du club de leur dire quand les salaires seraient payés.
Le trésorier a répondu qu'il ne savait pas d'où viendrait l'argent.
Il a ajouté que le club manquait des fonds.

Кулинарные игры всё ещё важны?
Конечно, сегодня с растущей популярностью кулинарных блогов и рецептов в Интернете, можно думать, что кулинарные книги становятся устаревшими. Я уже нашёл вкусные рецепты в Интернете но мне надо было изменить некоторые, потому что показанные дозировки не были очень хорошими или этапы подготовки не были достаточно ясными. Я даже не говорю о социальных сетях, где видятся всё и вся. Сегодня в одном видео я видел, как кто-то делал какой-то хот дог кусочками пиззы и соусом для кебаба, боже мой... Боже мой. Ну в общем кулинарные книги оказываются более надежными. К тому же многие из них пишут известные повары, которых люди обожают, поэтому они покупают их произведения. Так мне кажется, что кулинарные книги скоро не исчезнут.

History
I often listen to podcasts about world history.
Radio personalities usually speak objectively because most of world history have been moving without my country until modern times.
Thus, I want to learn my country's history through the eyes in other country.
It surely gives me a new perspective.
But I cannot find good podcasts.
