Philosophy

TLDR - Summary: Philosophies (e.g., Stoicism, Buddhism, Chanakya’s Nīti) are practical models—tools to structure experience, not universal truths. You can’t “prove” a framework’s basic assumptions; to critique it, adopt its premises, apply them in real life, and highlight where they fail. Living a philosophy reshapes perception through practice rather than logical debate—test guiding rules, journal results, and refine based on where they break. Philosophy as Frameworks for Sense-Making At its heart, philosophy isn’t a collection of proofs or academic jousting—it’s a toolkit, a lens through which we impose order on an otherwise hollow, abstract world.
