  Leibniz’s Monads - Because...

  Ever wondered what reality is made of? If you're thinking atoms, molecules, or maybe regret and caffeine, think again. According to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz—17th-century genius, calculus co-inventor, and metaphysical madlad—the universe is made of tiny, windowless soul-particles called monads. They don’t touch, don’t talk, and yet still manage to reflect the entire cosmos like cosmic disco balls of divine insight. 
  In Leibniz’s Monads: Because Particles with Feelings Totally Make Sense, Sophia Blackwell (author of Kant You Not) returns with another brutally honest, laugh-out-loud, actually-informative tour through one of philosophy’s weirdest, most ambitious systems. From the problem of evil to quantum physics, ecology to ethics, this book unpacks Leibniz’s windowless wonders and shows how his soul-marbles still haunt modern science, spirituality, and your existential crisis at 2am. 
  Perfect for students, armchair philosophers, or anyone who wants to understand metaphysics without crying in German. 
  Inside, you’ll learn: 
  What monads are (and why they’re basically metaphysical Tamagotchis) 
  Why your soul is pre-synced with the universe like a divine group project 
  How this is somehow the best possible world (yes, even with all of… this) 
  What quantum physics, computer science, and modern consciousness studies owe to a guy who never left Leipzig 
  And why Leibniz remains philosophy’s most lovable, logic-obsessed optimist 
  If you like philosophy that doesn’t take itself too seriously—but still takes ideas seriously—this book is for you. 
  Warning: May cause sudden belief in soul-particles. Or at least very polite existential confusion.

  THE O.C. 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  The O.C. is an American teen drama created by Josh Schwartz, which aired on Fox from 2003 to 2007. The series follows Ryan Atwood, a troubled teen, who is adopted by the wealthy Cohen family. The show explores themes of social class, relationships, and identity in the high-class world of Newport Beach. The O.C. was a pop cultural phenomenon during its first season. The show was known for its music, which featured indie rock and guest performances. Ratings declined after the first season leading to its cancellation in 2007. The series had a mix of melodrama and comedy and utilized meta-fictional humor. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The show's title, "O.C.", is an initialism for Orange County, the Southern California location where the series is set. Despite the show being set in Newport Beach, California, much of the filming took place in the Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles County region due to financial penalties for filming outside the studio zone.  
    
  The show was created by Josh Schwartz, who drew inspiration from his own experiences as a "Jewish kid from the East Coast" attending the University of Southern California, where he felt like an outsider among the wealthy students from Newport Beach. He also stated that the dynamic between the characters of Sandy and Seth Cohen was very much based on his relationship with his own father.

  "HEART WANT - LOGIC DOES NOT...

  Both, namely the Heart and Mind, are the basic ingredients for forming a humble person. 
  The heart is like a small child who if left alone will endanger himself and others, Mind is like a 
  parent who if there are no children, the completeness of the family becomes unbalanced. The 
  heart will be good if it comes from wise directions at the level of reason, but it will be bad if it 
  comes from directions to the lack of understanding of the Mind. 
  This reason is also developed into a beautiful sentence from the scholars of wisdom, namely 
  العقل السليم فى الجسم التسليم 
  "A good reason is found in a good body" 
  in that sentence, there are those who say that its application is very dialectical, meaning that not 
  only is the reason mentioned first, all humans are able to implement it. the meaning of that 
  sentence is that the body can be the first application. dialectic is one of the evidences of a fact 
  where something cannot be 
  a thing that stops statically or definitely, it is so easy to move position from the beginning to 
  point A to point B, from being at point B a minute later it can be positioned at 
  point A, the most important part in this case is Nothing Is Out of the Participation 
  of the Almighty. Namely "a good body is very strongly bound to a good mind" 
  then it becomes; 
  الجسم السليم فى العقل التسليم 
  According to the famous Cultural Expert and Scholar Emha Ainun Nadjib, the following are the 
  various kinds of inversions of a dialectic, which are the diversity of perspectives and ways of 
  thinking of every human being who is willing to process it, for the sake of continuity and 
  suitability of a life path that is carried out.
