#Conatus

[noosphe-re]

In the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza, conatus (/koʊˈneɪtəs/; wikt:conatus; Latin for "effort; endeavor; impulse, inclination, tendency; undertaking; striving") is an innate inclination of a thing to continue to exist and enhance itself. This thing may be mind, matter, or a combination of both, and is often associated with God's will in a pantheist view of nature. The conatus may refer to the instinctive will to live of living organisms or to various metaphysical theories of motion and inertia. Today, conatus is rarely used in the technical sense, since classical mechanics uses concepts such as inertia and conservation of momentum that have superseded it. It has, however, been a notable influence on later thinkers such as Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche.

What is "Conatus"?, you may ask

just saw someone's tags wondering about the whole "conatus" thing on the teasers, which I was curious about as well

on a website that sells a.c.e's album, the explanatory text translates to: "In addition to deep considerations of the 'reasons for existence', this album portrays 'Conatus', which is the essence and core power[/energy] of all beings, as a love story and releases[/unwinds] it through A.C.E's characteristic comfortable music."

more details under the cut

as for how they got this idea: idk, but if you look for the Korean word 의욕 (=drive, willingness to work, motivation) on Naver dictionary, you get 'ambition' and 'morale' as English translations first (which are both p vague) and then there's 'conatus', so maybe beat's people decided this matched their intended meaning the best

if you look up the English (/Latin) word 'conatus' itself, you'll encounter a philosophical term that was interpreted in a fairly wide variety of ways over the centuries but apparently boils down to persistence, self-preservation and/or drive

here's the original Korean text from that website that I translated above:

"이번 앨범은 ‘존재의 이유’에 대한 깊은 고찰과 더불어 모든 존재의 본질이자 핵심적인 힘을 의미하는 코나투스(Conatus)를 러브스토리에 담아 에이스 특유의 편안한 음악으로 풀어 내었다."

Pick up the wires of our sins Filter them into our benign truths It fools, it fumbles in tune And it surrounds everything And it surrounds all your dreams And it will take you to fears you never knew And it settles in, settles in Till you forget everything And it white wash into your skin And you won't remember none No, you won't remember none Who you are

diğer yandan ise, ki spinoza için asıl önemli olan bu noktadır, (bireylerin oluşumu, dönüşümü, ve yıkımı arasından sızan her şey ) varoluşsal karmaşıklığın izlerini belirginleştirir.

September 26:

On this date in 1994, a compilation album chronicling the punk rock scene of 1970's Sweden and entitled Suomi Rock, first went on sale.

On this day in 1995, Sonic Youth dropped their ninth album, Washing Machine.

Despite the presence of Kim Deal therein, and the existence of Goo, this is the point at which an obvious decline in the band's work becomes truly apparent. There's good songs here, including, natch, "Little Trouble Girl," and there would be good songs later, like "Fire Engine Dream," but for SY, Washing Machine was where they stopped making albums that were even among the best in their class.

On this date in 2006, the One, the Only, "Weird Al" Yankovic released his twelfth, and biggest-selling album, Straight Outta Lynwood.

On this date in 2011, Zola Jesus released her third album, Conatus.

Reflective Essay

What I Regret the Most

Written by: Caitlin Ninian

In my 18 years of existence, the experience that I regretted the most is not doing my very best at this one competition when I was in Grade 6. Palarong Pambansa is the dream destination of every aspiring athlete in the country. It was mine too, and still is to be brutally honest. But I once had my chance and I screwed up because I was scared. For I don’t know what reason, I was afraid. Maybe, of more injury? Or maybe, I was just a coward… not brave enough to face that that moment could be my only chance to fulfill that dream of mine.

Up until this day, that experience still haunts me in my dreams. But through that, I have learned that to achieve something I have to face the worries that I have head-on. That life is a process of continuous learning. That even experiences that we wish we could change the most will shape us into becoming a better and more improved version of ourselves. Each day, we strive to be different from who we were yesterday even in the slightest.

Regret

Written by: John Kyper Po

Life is like writing on a clean piece of paper with a pen, there are no extra sheets- we can only cross out our past but we can't erase them. Sometimes the biggest regrets come from unbearable experiences that we keep holding on rather than letting it go.

There are moments that life gives me an opportunity to achieve something. Something that will lift me up surmounting those obstacles that I encountered along the way. Those are the things that build me up and hone me to become a better person. What about the times that life puts me on a rock bottom? Instead of making a way to get out of it, yet adversity strikes even heavier that drags me away from being resilient. That's why my biggest regrets are when life piles me with problems and challenges in my darkest and weakest moments: I keep myself stuck and forget how strong I am to lift myself up. I even ask myself what if I can't be strong enough? This question leaves me holding on with the fear of not letting go.

Our regrets are full of fake commitment. On the outside, we only show to people that we already run away from those regretful moments. But on the inside, we have this fear of letting them go despite the consequences that it brings into our lives.

Regrets

Written by: Syla Bugante

We all do things in life that we regret. We also do things in life that make us proud of the people that we are. Still, there are things in life that we hope to someday be able to do. All of these things make up who we are and how we've come to be ourselves. Occasionally we'd like to change the past because of regrets, though this would completely change who we are.

The past few years have been very trying for me. A lot of events had taken place, and sent me down a road I should never have gone down. The events themselves need not be spoken of; the affects that occurred due to them are the focal point. I had become severely depressed. I could have cared less about what anyone thought of me or what would happen to me. I became careless in my everyday decisions that should have come easy to me. My friendships suffered, my relationships suffered, as well as my career as a student. Because of these things, my parents became more and more persistent with me, which only led me to run away from home. Shortly after, I was found and forced to return home, regardless of my reasons for doing so.

Now, I can say that I have turned my life around. Some things from the past few years still haunt me to this day, but I'm able to cope with them thanks to the help I received from people who do care about me. I have been going to school on as much of a regular basis as possible considering my low immune system, I'm doing my school work, I've become social again, and rekindled the bonds between my friends and myself.

Someone hearing this story could consider me a bad person for doing what I had done, which I have no disagreement with, but they must also see that those events have made me who I am today. Granted, I could have become who I am through other means, but I don't believe that they could have made me as wise as I am.

Trusting Someone Wholeheartedly

Written by: Sarah Aribas

Trusting someone wholeheartedly was one of my greatest regrets in life. Why? It is because I was betrayed, I was fooled and I lost myself. I remember back when I was in grade 9 that was the time, I got my 2nd boyfriend. It was also the time I trusted someone wholeheartedly where I comfortably told anything like family problems, personal problems, ranting nonsense, telling how my day was, and sharing my ups and downs to him. The more they took advantage of it. The more I trust the person the more he breaks me. I was blinded by love at a young age. That's why the more I trust the person the more he feels at ease, the more I understand the person, the more he took advantage of my softness. As soon as I realized that I am slowly losing myself and I once woke up doubting myself. I find it suffocating that I can’t even trust myself, I can’t even comfort myself and I already forgot that I only have me at the end of the time. My world was in total chaos after we broke up. Why? It was also the time that I’m having academic issues and breakdowns, all those emotions mixed up and messed me up. After that betrayal I never trust anyone like how I trust the man who ruined me.

My biggest Regret in Life

Written by: Kenneth Sanchez

Sadness and anger always dominate whenever I think of this. A mistake I have regretted my whole life. It raises questions as to how heartless I was to do it. It makes me think how bad I am for doing this to my mother. I should be thankful for everything she did for me, but why? Why was I able to tell her this? I was so frustrated, angry, and scared about what I did. The biggest mistake that I regret the most and that ruined our good relationship.

Of all the mistakes I have made, I have one thing I deeply regret. That is, I cursed my mother and said, "I wish you would die and disappear from my life so that no one would interfere in my life." without considering how she would feel. This is something I have regretted all my life for being rude and being an ungrateful son. My heart broke when I said that and saw my mother cry. I knew it was a big mistake of mine and was thinking about how I would be able to tell her about those hurtful words without hesitation. She didn't deserve that.

Words are powerful. This experience became a lesson for me, even though it was a long time ago. It became a bridge to knowing myself better and showing respect not only to my parents but to other people. I'm learning to be thankful for all the blessings and the people who have helped me. A regrettable mistake was gradually replaced by happy memories. Realizing that a mother's or father's love is unrivaled because their love and care endure forever.

Regrets

Written by: Christian Indig

At some point in their life, everyone has experienced regrets about something. I've got this horrible feeling as well. This horrible sensation is unpleasant for no one, yet it is something that everyone has felt at some point in their lives. Regret is something like I wish I could have handled a situation differently than the way I did in reality. Feeling regret about something that I did is not good at all. In fact, I as a person have a lot of regrets. The most I will never forget is when I was still very shy and I regretted it then and now because there were many opportunities then that came to me but I didn't grab it because I was shy to associate with others. Regret is something that is part of a person's life and I am no different in this case. Without regret a person does not shape the way they are supposed to do. In fact, because of the emotion of regret, human beings mature. I can also say that I have matured because of that incident. Trust the process: believe in your own journey. What is meant to be yours will never pass you.

Regrets

Written by: Issiah Gorospe

Regret is a thing that you wish you did but it’s too late. Sometimes we tend to regret things because we lose opportunities or things that we want too, but we didn’t grab it.

I have countless regrets but my biggest regret was, I never explain myself nor thoughts or side to other people. I let other people judge me based on what they’ve heard from others and never let my side be heard. Letting other people degrade me, hearing a lot of rumors about me and criticizing me, that thing hurts me a lot. I know that there would be a chance that I will also explain myself but I didn't. I kept silent because I thought all of those will pass away, but I was wrong. If I did explain myself to others, I think people won’t look at me like this.

We need to be vocal about our thoughts or express ourselves to others, so that we won’t regret it. I’ve realized that despite of the criticism that I’ve received I’m still here moving forward and not letting other people do it again to me. I always believe that regrets are part of life, don’t hesitate to take a risk.

Regretting

Written by: Rhealynne Legal

Regretting something after you've done it is something I'm very familiar with. I've made so many mistakes in this crazy world, so many... that I don't think I've ever regretted anything so much in my life, that is, I haven't done something extremely regrettable yet.

I sometimes fall in the thoughts about me not talking to my friends, I did stop talking to them, and now I am quite regretting that decision. Because I was only thinking about myself, I built a wall between us all. I am afraid of getting hurt as I constantly want their attention and was afraid that they’ll just forget me anytime. I did something that I was the only one benefitting and happy. I’m such a terrible person. I’m regretting not talking to them and I am sorry for what I did.

Even if we did something we wanted, we will always have our regrets. Regretting something simply indicates that you could have solved the problem in a different way, but for the sake of someone close to you, you did it the way they're still in the decision you'd make. You think of not hurting them, that’s why we have our regrets.

“Reg-achievement”

Written by: Bench Odio

There are instances in our lives that we just suddenly laugh because we remember those embarrassing moments that we made in the past then those laughs will turn into a frown as our regrets came pass by our minds. Sometimes I always try my best to forget those moments but I can't, it haunts me, every day and every night.

This happened not a very long time ago, first semester in grade 12 to be exact. I was very excited, well we, all my classmates are excited because our most hated subject, math, is not on the list of our subjects. What I regretted doing was not caring about my grades in UCSP, I said "Bahala na ni ah, pirme nalang man nubo score ko" I ignored the my scores and did not pay attention to the subject, I already did everything just to get high scores, I studied, listened in class, participate in recitations, but still, my scores are not as high as the level of effort that I put in that subject, so I said to myself, "Focus nalang ko sa iban nga subject". I got an 89 in two consecutive quarters, first and second, and that caused me not to get high honors, while my friends got it. Why? Why did that happen to me? I questioned my capabilities all because of that damn subject. In what part did I lack?

As much as I want to forget my past beef with that subject, I can't. Having that regret molded me into what I am right now, I won't make the same mistake again that I will regret in my entire life. The problem here is not about me not being able to have the high honors award but me questioning my capabilities as a student, and since that incident I am now believing in myself, doing my best is different from being greedy. Getting high honors is maybe a great achievement for others, but knowing your limits and not pushing yourself too hard, that, is an achievement for me.

One thing I am objectively correct about in politics is that you should not believe people about their stated values, beliefs, or ideologies. Most people, myself included, are inconsistent at best and moronic on average at assessing our own values and accurately predicting which values inform our positions on specific issues. The more generally stated the terms of an ideology are, the more likely it is that a person has not thought through the implications and is just saying shit that sounds nice. And if you present them with the fact that they are a delusional liar who actually doesn't hold the beliefs that they think they do, they are just going to get angry at you and not believe you.

So I finally got around to writing my cringe fanfic idea of Tenma being the one to resurrect Cobalt and attempting to raise him!

Summary:

Dr Tenma has tentatively turned over a new leaf. Now in support of robot rights, he assists Atom and cohorts from the shadows whenever he is able. He's a good man now. He has been for a number of years.

Truly, he's been nothing but tediously upstanding.

But when a forgotten prototype of Atom falls into his possession, he's suddenly forced to grapple with how little he's truly changed.
