#noology

...Even from the minds of the confident, or the competent.

It is epidemic at the moment. Not spread by kissing, but other kinds of contact. Like memes, and infographics. Especially, the well designed, and colorful. This is something that has been bugging me for a while, now.

There's a new/obscure sub-field primarily of psychology, and philosophy. It's called "Noology". The "-ology" part most people understand as indicating a field of study. The "No-" part is the same as the "kno-" in knowing, and knowledge. It's the same as the "gno-" in gnostic. As I understand it Noology is specifically the study of thinking. Thought processes. How we think, how we arrive at conclusions.

...do those “thought for the day” things...

If you look at it, the thing that isn’t is always correct!

“Are we there yet?” Well, no. No matter where we are we are always here, and never there! Thus there is never here, and here is where we are.

Here wouldn’t exist without us. Here, perceived by us living in time is never the same. Here changes, constantly.

That here is always here, and no matter our influence here is where we are. We’re always here. Here never changes. We are, in a sense never lost! There is great comfort here.

Who hasn’t worried about tomorrow?

… but why? Today is at the end of every journey. Tomorrow is a place we will never be. Today is the day we will always people.

Tomorrow must be an awful place. Of course in that it makes sense that we would worry about tomorrow. It’s mysterious, unknown, dark, and foreboding. Just like the country of a child’s nightmare.

It is that very set of characteristics that makes worrying about it simply naïve. That strange land too, only exists in our imagination. Tomorrow may be our key to today, that’s all! Tomorrow never happens, and the closest we can ever get to it is today.

Since it doesn’t actually manifest we can forget it. It makes much more sense to be today without tomorrow. Because being today while occupied by tomorrow makes today very nearly as useless as tomorrow.
