My name is Matěj Krejčiřík. I’m Philosophy student engaged mainly in the field of Information science and Game studies. I´m currently working on metaphysics, that’s supposed to help me, and anyone willing to truly think about matters discussed, understand the world (with all its measureable/thinkable aspects), that we happen to live in. I have been playing Ultimate Frisbee for few years now where I´ve made it to the National team. I’m a wannabe author, creator of thought-out-fantasy-universes-in-construction. Thus after all said, I feel the need to stress out, that I mainly aspire to be nobody. An ordinary being living his happy life.
Fields that I’m going to write about
Philosophy
This is where steemit kicks in for me. Unfortunately my philosophical influence so far is rather local, thus not living up to its potential. Getting in touch with critical minds is the main thing I seek. Philosophical themes I plan to write about are Information science, Game studies, Rationality, Life, Self-improvement and Sports. Eventually I might come across other topics that will catch my eye and will cause an irresistible urge to contemplate on. I´m very open minded in this regard and will concentrate on anything, that might help me or the readers of my articles.
Metaphysics
I will not speak about the metaphysics here, because I feel like giving it the space it needs. What I will say though is what I hope to achieve. My problem is not that I do not find sufficient amount of people that would blindly follow the speech replying something like “yea that makes sense”. I lack people willing to discuss and more importantly contribute. Because without discussion there is no necessary stimuli that would force the brain to work out of its comfort zone = no Self-improvement. EDIT: The first article can be found here
Self-improvement
That’s what my metaphysics (and even ordinary philosophy) fluently transits into. Or is supposed to, let’s put it like that, shall we? Because from my perspective brains need to work out of its comfort zones to truly undergo the process of self-improvement. Be it you or me. And I am here for self-improvement...what about you? :)
Book
At this time my biggest motivation to concentrate on wide spectrum of themes. Thought processing is the only field where I happen to be a perfectionist and one does not create a working universe with believable laws without understanding existing laws first. I’m not sure yet how to approach topics concerning my book to not spoil what’s going to be in it. Nonetheless this great community might be source of awesome inspiration I desire, so I just might find a way.
Sports
I guess that no one would ever be interested in reading reports from particular tournaments our team is attending (or would you?). What I might do once is write an article about what it is we are playing and by that spread the knowledge. Furthermore, since there are no referees in the game, one is often times exposed to situation, that wouldn’t ever occur in a world chained by cultural evolution, so it might be viable to contemplate on that.
So here we are at end of my introduction article. If the scheme I have planned caught your attention, feel free to follow and participate whenever you will feel like you have some kind of information, which might able to contribute. Even if that is not the case, I will be honoured, if you from time to time decide to interact with me in the comments bellow.
Let’s commence another epic journey of mine/yours!
Contacts:
Wow you are awesome!! Welcome to steemit family @fingersik . Feel free to share anything you like here, people will help you. ;-) Enjoy your stay ^_^
Welcome to Steemit! You will have a very interesting blog indeed.
Therefore i nominate... Nobody. Nice introduction. Good luck finding someone who wants to question their own beliefs! You'd think that a topic like diets relation to health would bring out the desire to find truth rather than be the know it all - yet even with their health and longevity on the line people do not like to attack themselves (their beliefs).
Thanks, appreciate that! I’m so happy that someone hit upon many topics I´d also like to discuss with others like the questioning of beliefs, or human nature (some kind of philosophical/biological approach). Judging by the number of your up votes, there’s at least a dozen of us who are willing to do so. I say it’s a huge win! Meet you there guys ;).
Welcome to steemit "nobody". :^)
Philosophy is one of my favorite areas to talk about...granted I have a hard time writing about it because it's hard for me to put abstract concepts in my head into words. But most of the time I spend my philosophical engine working on dissecting semantics and sentence functions, corroborating them with intended meaning outcomes and unintended meaning outcomes...pretty much just a structuralist's job. That's actually how I got my name; the combination of semantics and structuralism.
I don't get into metaphysical talks often, as I am a metaphysical existentialist and I conflict with the larger portion of...well, most people.
I can say right off the bat that I disagree with dualism, monism, and pluralism. :^)
Your assertion about self-improvement reminds me of Dr. Jordan Peterson's discussions about that very same topic. It's a nice sentiment to convey, and I think it's one that dislike the least, heh.
I haven't replied to anyone this long on their "introduceyourself"...so I think I'll stop here. I'm pretty excited to see what you'll bring to the table. I'm expecting some great things. ;P
Since you have managed to transfer the message (even though it took me a while:D), I see no problem with your ability to depict your thoughts. A lot of linguistics and psychology (and I bet many other things) seem to be going on in what you´re doing. That comes in handy and one might think, that it should actually help you to find a right word for the image in your mind, since you know (and have thought about) so many of them. When you want to understand something, you need to get to know how individual components work and how to put them together. So understanding the concept should help in that regard. Or does it really not?
Depends in who´s existentialist philosophy you believe the most but it looks like we´ll have a lot in common. Although the way I understand existentialism there will be some nuances between our understandings of the world nevertheless peaceful and intellectual conflicts are desired ;). I have no idea who Dr. Jordan Peterson's is but he has been added into my “Will-check-catalogue”. I don’t get what you mean by “and I think it's one that dislike the least, heh.”
I´ll also check what you´ve already brought to the table and from what I’ve seen yet, I´ll probably follow you. Let´s meet in discussions again!
I must agree here with @semantralist. Sometimes the more you understand something, the harder it feels to talk about it, because words are always just simplifications, abstractions, pointers to the objects you mean to convey. It's really a work of art to express yourself precisely.
Welcome to Steemit @fingersik!
Welcome to Steemit!
Thanks for all the support guys :). I´m looking forward to meeting you all in some kind of an enlightening discussion for us all.
Nice introduction! Welcome
Welcome to Steemit! Feel free to tag one of your posts a day with the wantwiserupvote tag so I can see it :) Details here.
Hello! Unfortunately i can not join such a movement. If you want to know why, read my new post. I will be honored though, if you chose to participate in some of the disccusions under my new posts!
Hi there, no problem. It is totally your choice. I read your post and I may comment there. I suspect, though, that your perspective on Steemit, as well as initiatives like mine, will evolve as you grow more familiar with this platform. Keep an open mind and you'll do great here. Cheers :)
Welcome to Steemit @fingersik! Great to have you aboard the Steem train :)
