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...

Two social phenomena have become increasingly visible in contemporary Sri Lankan social media. The first is the proliferation of channels presenting Buddhism alongside quantum mechanics, string theory, holographic universes, multidimensional realities, consciousness studies, and various scientific concepts. These presentations often suggest that hidden correspondences exist between ancient Buddhist teachings and the deepest secrets of modern physics.  The second phenomenon is the spread of narratives surrounding curses, karma, destiny, and political retribution. Following the social upheavals of 2022, many people observed that some individuals who publicly cursed politicians later died before those they had condemned. These deaths, although often explainable through ordinary causes, became incorporated into stories of cosmic justice, karmic revenge, or supernatural return. At first glance, these appear to be unrelated developments. One belongs to the realm of pseudo-scientific info...

  A Note on This Archive This blog is more than a collection of old posts. It records nearly fifteen years of an evolving intellectual journey pursued alongside my professional life in engineering. Many of the questions that occupy me today—psychoanalysis, philosophy, AI, science, literature, language, reality and meaning—appear throughout these pages in different stages of development. I have deliberately preserved those earlier layers rather than rewriting them to agree with what I think today. An intellectual archive should contain not only conclusions, but changes of mind, unfinished questions, mistakes and discoveries. In an age when AI can help any of us acquire the appearance of expertise very quickly, I prefer to leave the history of my own pursuit open to inspection. The archive is the evidence—not necessarily that I was right, but that I was searching. මේ Archive එක ගැන කෙටි සටහනක් මේ බ්ලොග් අඩවිය මට පැරණි ලිපි එකතුවක් විතරක් නෙවෙයි. මගේ වෘත්තීය ඉංජිනේරු ජීවිතයත් සමඟ සමාන...

  If you’re a coastal engineer, you already live in the language of wave mechanics—significant wave height, peak period, breaker index, refraction, diffraction, and the delicate balance of sediment transport that keeps our shorelines alive. But how often does a book make those equations feel alive —not in a lab or a numerical model, but in the raw, salt-stained reality of the ocean? William Finnegan’s Barbarian Days (Pulitzer Prize for Biography, 2016) does exactly that. On the surface, it’s a gripping memoir of a lifelong surfer chasing perfect waves from California to Hawaii, South Africa, Fiji, and beyond. Beneath that, it is one of the most insightful explorations of ocean-wave physics I’ve encountered outside of a coastal engineering textbook. Finnegan doesn’t just surf—he studies the sea with the obsessive eye of someone whose life literally depends on reading it correctly. He describes the moment a wave begins to break with a precision that would make any coastal modeler...

'The Basis' is my debut novel. Because of the Corona lockdowns that have occurred since August 2020, over a year of boredom, I have earned some time to write this tale. This story is set in a dystopian future with many types of mindsets of individuals attempting to achieve a paradigm shift in physical science as well as society; the problems are highly divided and have an influence on various levels of human understanding.

  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 ...

Origins of Marketing Myopia Concept and Its Applicability for the Current Business Context Marketing is a word based on a certain concept of: as the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large. [1] The term developed from the original meaning which referred literally to going to market, as in shopping, or going to a market to sell goods or services. American Marketing Association Wikipedia: Marketing that has no history more than one century in its literal form as what it suggested in the online etymology dictionary. According to Naomi Klein [NO LOGO] the origins of marketing is the origins of the capitalism and hence the origin of the "factory" for the first time in mankind. Forming the "factory" made the mankind to experience how the capitalism works in reality making a class of salary paid workers in the civilization for the f...
