Aphorisms
Aphorism N1.
If anybody now wanted to declare after Albert Einstein that everything is relative, then he would be like a literary hero, who solemnly declares that the Earth is round. However, there is a branch of human cognition, which doesn't accept it, for which it must be many times repeated, for which it can be a news, a revelation. This branch of human cognition is psychology.
Aphorism N2.
Time? Objective time? As Max Born said, "Albert Einstein has made the prejudices hidden in the notion of the simultaneity clear." Under the pressure of the facts from physics the notions of space and time have been thrown off the Olympus of the priority. It is the time for psychologists to consider thoroughly the phenomena, which are denoted with this notion, and especially the notion of time.
Today, we have good reasons to state that the notion of time itself can be attributed to the very abstract, pseudoscientific chimeras, and that it can be placed somewhere among or near such notions as "ether" or "communism". These notions are from the area, the subjects of which were being unsuccessfully sought for, but at the same time were being very successfully exploited.
Information.
Ether was considered as the notion which was doubtless obvious until Albert Michelson with his experiments broke this generally accepted illusion, which was considered as a scientific notion.
Or let's take the so notorious communism. At one of the Soviet Communist Party Congresses the time of the communism coming was declared, and it was the time of the 80th years of the 20th century.
So, there are double chimeras (the time of the communism), better to say, double illusive notions.
It's time (1 here we use a phantom) to call things by their proper names. It's time to confess that the notion of time is a phantom, a ghost. We must discrown this phantom, as a thing which denotes and so called the objective time.
Yet, long after such amputation the mankind will feel this phantom as a whimsical phenomenon, will care about the time, will suffer under phantom pains because of the crutches, which are taken away, will kiss the ground before the chimera of the eternity.
Yet, the mankind will never stop enjoying the pleasure of the subjective moment.
Aphorism ¹ 3
Psychology, as a branch of human science, is a spider web. Psychologist is
a fly, striving in this spider web, he is fated to struggle in the web till
he has no more power, till he is exhausted. If only some blood-drinking
spider helped him to end the suffering with one deadly bite! But, no!
Spiders are not rushing to the glittering black spider web, mysterious and
dangerous. There are only two ways: either you don't get trapped in the
psychology spider web, or you find the energy to tear it with your
mind-power.
Aphorism N4.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel could say in his
dialectic manner so:
"All subjects, things and values are temporal, i.e. they carry the temporal, human attitude, and all the human times are subjective and valuable." However, Hegel had not expressed his mind in that way, so I have to state this truth for the psychology.
