Francis Bacon's Idols of the Mind

- Idols of the Marketplace: Biases acquired through language and interaction, such as different interpretations of words or phrases like "pangit."
- Idols of the Theatre: Biases from systems of thought, education, religions, dogmas, and principles. Things are important because of our knowledge or faith.

- Religious Stage: Transcendence of "I" and "We," characterized as selfless and prioritizing the well-being of others.
Friedrich Nietzsche's Types of Humans
- Sheep: Followers who prioritize conformity, comfort, routines, and safety. Their identity is derived from others.
- Camel: Shares similarities with sheep but pushes themselves to achieve their goals within the confines of societal conformity.
- Lion: Destroys conformities and challenges established norms. However, lack of principles in life.
- Child: Ideal type. Free from conformity and capable of establishing and owning unique principles. Willing to change those principles when needed.

- Being-in-the-World: Humans are thrown into the world without choice regarding birthplace or initial circumstances.
- Angst or Existential Anxiety: An uneasy feeling that arises due to our 'being-in-the-world' and our awareness of death.
- Everydayness: Actions consumed by routines, activities, and the busyness of daily life. Leads to ambiguity about one's identity.
- Exploring Uneasiness: Investigating the sources of anxiety and sadness to understand one's true self.
- Dasman: A person trapped in the ambiguity of life, consumed by everydayness.
