Some films entertain us. Others disturb us. A few quietly reveal that the world we thought we understood has already changed. For me, Chinthana Dharmadasa's Abhisari belongs to the last category. At first glance, one might think this is simply another film about prostitution, betrayal, or broken relationships. It is not. Beneath its intimate narrative lies something much more significant: a portrait of how the structure of human relationships itself has transformed under contemporary Sri Lankan society. To explain why I found Abhisari so fascinating, I was repeatedly reminded of another landmark in Sinhala cinema—Dharmasiri Bandaranayake's Hansa Vilak . The comparison is not about story or characters. It is about history. From the Crisis of Marriage to the Crisis of Desire When Hansa Vilak appeared during the 1980s, Sri Lanka was undergoing profound social transformation. The economic liberalization initiated after 1977 did more than change markets and industries. It ...

  I have published the first episode of a new Sinhala series investigating the origins of human cognition from the perspectives of evolutionary psychology, philosophy, AI, and psychoanalysis. One of the central ideas discussed is that knowledge does not necessarily require language . Evolution accumulated successful behavioural solutions over millions of years and embodied them within DNA. Instincts are not merely behaviours; they represent information preserved through natural selection, allowing organisms to respond adaptively without explicit reasoning or symbolic communication. This provides an interesting analogy with modern Large Language Models. While the mechanisms are fundamentally different, both DNA and LLMs embody information acquired through extensive interaction with their respective environments. One preserves biological adaptations across generations; the other preserves statistical patterns extracted from language. Neither relies on conscious understanding, yet ...

When I walked into Dennis Perera's Neranjana , I expected to watch a controversial play about a man who falls in love with a goat. By the time the curtain fell, I realized that this was not the play I had actually seen. The goat, although central to the story, was never its true subject. Rather, the play gradually revealed itself as an exploration of a far more disturbing question: why does any object come to occupy the centre of human desire? Whether that object is another person, wealth, professional success, religion, political power, or, in this case, a goat, the underlying structure appears remarkably similar. It is precisely this structure that Jacques Lacan devoted much of his teaching to investigating. One detail immediately caught my attention. The protagonist's psychological disturbance does not begin after he falls in love with the goat. Long before the audience learns of the affair, something has already begun to fracture. He forgets words, loses concentration, hes...

Every few months, a familiar claim appears on social media: "The Buddha discovered quantum mechanics." Or perhaps: "Buddhism explained relativity 2,500 years before Einstein." Sometimes we are told that the Abhidhamma described subatomic particles, that the Buddha understood the Big Bang, or that Buddhist cosmology anticipated modern astrophysics. These comparisons are certainly fascinating. I have also written articles similar to these what I slightly criticise today a long time back, and those were clearly made my thinking on to this point now. They also attract many people to Buddhist philosophy who might otherwise never have explored it. But there is a danger. When we try too hard to prove that Buddhism was "scientifically correct," we may end up misunderstanding both Buddhism and science. Ironically, the Buddha deserves something better than that. Perhaps the more interesting question is not whether the Buddha discovered modern physics, but what kind...
