Summary

This quote, often attributed to Albert Einstein, suggests a thought-provoking perspective on the state of one's mind. It implies that a cluttered desk might indicate a busy and active mind, filled with various thoughts and ideas. On the other hand, an empty desk could indicate a lack of activity or creativity. It questions whether an absence of visible clutter corresponds to a clear and organized mind or reflects a lack of inspiration and productivity. Ultimately, it offers a playful way to reconsider preconceived notions about order and the relationship between physical space and mental processes.

It is true that there are exercises that can strengthen the 'muscle' that enable us to push back the bounds of acceptation. But these are relatively unimportant. The real problem is that we are trapped in misconceptions that always deceive us, as the matador's cape deceives the bull; that continue to deceive us a million times over the course of a lifetime. Wittgenstein once said that traditional philosophy causes a form of mental cramp, and that the aim of his philosophy was to remove this mental cramp, or to 'show the fly the way out of the bottle'. Our misconceptions involve the passive fallacy and notion that consciousness is a plane mirror that cannot lie about the world it reflects.
