Elixir is Dead!
Hello everyone,
We are deeply saddened to announce that Elixir died due to some unfortunate accident. We share this announcement not under the assumption that it will resonate widely, but as a heartfelt expression for those of you who, in even the smallest measure, found solace in his words, acknowledging that he never cared about being known.
He didn't share most of his writings publicly, just a few quotes, ideas and poetry. Still, he left behind a powerful idea called Elixirism in his notebooks. He used to say, "If we remove all the bad people in this world, nobody will be left."
Very few people knew him personally, and not much is known about him, but the ideas explained in Elixirism set him apart. In his work, he says Elixirism lies somewhere at the intersection of philosophy (stoicism and Machiavellianism), science (physics), and mathematics. Throughout his writings on Elixirism, he has emphasized over and over again the adoption of strict practicality. Elixirism consists of two main laws:
1. The law of substrate independence of entropic flow.
2. The law of optimum proximity.
With the help of these two laws, he has tried to explain various things in our universe and has claimed that these two laws can explain almost everything happening within space and time, mainly things involving human lives. This means he has tried to successfully answer the following questions and prove the following things with the help of these two laws:
What is the meaning of life?
What is the purpose of life?
God doesn't exist.
Why are we here?
Rebirth is not possible.
Karma doesn't exist.
Are we alone in the universe?
Why can't there be heaven?
What do people truly want?
And many more such questions and ideas that have been debated by philosophers for thousands of years.
What sets Elixirism or his ideas apart is his approach based on mathematics and thought experiments. While he never intended to publish his work, Odist Magazine plans to share it in the future. To the readers who have supported this journey, whether in big or small ways, your appreciation has been truly amazing.
Though he may be gone, we are committed to continuing the publication of his work under his name, honouring the legacy he has left behind.
A piece of writing from one of his notebooks, written a long time ago:
What if I am dead?
What would happen?
Apart from the world going on as usual,
people waking up, going to work,
coming home to their families,
— nothing would change!
Not even for a fleeting moment.
Who am I to be remembered, and who would remember me?
But above all, what is it within me that craves remembrance?
I want to be gone in a way nobody finds out,
not even the part of me that wants to be remembered.
How difficult would it be? To die alone?
Without anyone there to remember me?
