The errors of the human mind are rooted in man's desire to view nature by analogy with himself, and are inherent in all people. Misconceptions arise individually for each person due to the specific conditions of upbringing: at the same time, each person, as it were, looks at the world from his own cave. Misconceptions also arise from blind faith in authority.

Man by nature is neither good nor bad, however, there is more bad in him. therefore, a skillful politician must take into account more the weaknesses and shortcomings of people than their positive qualities.

Man discovers in nature two qualities: one good, the other evil, which in this world in all forces, in the stars and elements, equally in all creatures, are inseparable from one another, as something united. Such qualities are heat and cold, air and water, bitter and sweet, etc. Opposite qualities constantly fight with each other, existing in unity.

The Universe is a single living organism, animated by a single astral soul. Since man is a microcosm, similar to the Universe, then, by comprehending our own soul, we can find means to magically influence nature.

Science and magic have a number of common ideological premises: there are objective and constantly operating laws of existence both in the sphere of the natural and in the sphere of the supernatural; man is able to know these laws; on the basis of these laws, technologies can be developed that allow a person to influence natural and/or supernatural forces and objects in order to achieve their goals.

Humanism is a special phenomenon in the spiritual life of the Renaissance. The focus of humanists is on man, but not as a vessel

This is the limit of fate in Rus': our excellent people are boring.

A righteous person with God in his soul does not care about anything earthly, does not become attached to anything, he is not interested in property, career, etc. He perceives everything that happens around him and with himself in an infinite sense.

We often fall into the trap of calling something intuitive if we understand it, and, on the contrary, complex if we don’t. Thus, we assume that everyone has our knowledge and lives in our culture. This misconception is understandable, because people are primarily emotional creatures. Delight and a feeling of powerlessness are two very powerful feelings that overshadow logic. Let's imagine that we have a prototype of a new mobile phone or game controller. If it fits well in the hand, positive emotions leave no room for the questions “How is my hand different from other people’s?” or “How will a person who has no hands use this?” By asking questions that are useful from a design perspective, we risk a sense of joy. Emotions and common sense will oppose each other.

Hypocrisy is like a mysterious mask that, under the guise of sincerity, hides its true essence. Outwardly, it appears to us impeccable, as if decorated with luxurious clothes. This man, with an elegant appearance, is able to deceive anyone, skillfully mastering the game in public space. It is like an appetizing display case of a fruit stall, where a large, fresh and incredibly attractive watermelon clearly catches your eye. Looking at it evokes admiration and a voluptuous desire to try it. However, one should not be naive, because if you look inside this watermelon, you can find rot that destroys all illusions. So it is with a hypocritical person. His true qualities are hidden deep inside, and only after real testing can one understand who he really is. Only by removing the impeccable mask can you see the true face of such a person and discard all the deceptive illusions with which he so skillfully enveloped himself.

Do you know the feeling when you are simply ashamed of yourself for taking seriously a person who was nothing more than a beautiful dummy, and that you cannot bring yourself to tell him about it, but prefer to continue to be nice to him, even though you I'm already sick of all this!

There is something terrifying about surrendering to the power of another person. Come to terms with him being next to you and realize that you will never know what is going on in his skull. Most people are so accustomed to conforming to public expectations that they act a decent role in public with frightening naturalness, while behind closed doors or in private they do the diametrically opposite. It turns out that it all comes down to the skill of the other person. How virtuoso he is in what he wants to show. This, it seems to me, is the stumbling block: someone else’s soul is always in the dark. You just have to believe that with you, he won’t lose his stopcock. Or the person will not want, perhaps even unconsciously, to take it out on you for all his disappointments. Communication, contact with others is like Russian roulette: most often the chambers are empty and you only hear a click, but at the same time you know that that same fatal cartridge is rotating inside the drum. And you wonder when the shot will ring out.

And it’s interesting how Kant got into politics now, and this is definitely a reason to remember his three hundredth anniversary, but it’s worth remembering how he spoke not only about knowledge, reason, understanding what a person is and what kind of person, and just about the idea of eternal peace. About the postulate: When
