a proper goal has the purpose of creating a positive outcome in the future
so what if i just make it a habit to work for the future? will a goal still be necessary then?
and if, work wise, i only work on things i actually care about, am good at, and have fun doing, while not also have a nice journey while creating a positive journey?
why do i need to think about the future so hard? would i sabotage myself if i didn’t have a goal? would i focus too much on momentary pleasure?
i usually give up an intense state of consciousness for pleasure if the intensity gets too intense. perhaps i just need to train this state more heavily
i’m never gonna watch this video and i don’t know if i’m being fair here, but what kind of piece of shit would disrespect his grandma with such a title
it’s true but there is nuance
the idea of the original sin is actually useful since we are experiencing the n-th order effects of our ancestors’ sins, and thus the goal of reaching paradise is only attainable if you can also pay for sins that you are not even guilty of
the thing about carbon consumption is a different thing tho, since it’s not so clear if carbon production is a sin as such. certainly stupid to pump co2 gas into the ecosystem for no reason, however it ain’t happening for no reason. we have pretty good reasons imo
maybe the whole act of trying to create your own levels in life is fundamentally wrong
just as in a video game
in a video game you don’t create the rules or the levels or the items or whatever
you just play the game that was already created for you
what if life is supposed to happen in the same way?
i’m constantly trying to set the levels and the rules myself. i’m trying to define my character myself
what if i’m just supposed to play?
or what if i do get to create the game myself as well? i’m not sure abou this
sometimes the most fundamental truth about existence feels so distant and unreachable
sometimes it feels as if i’m extremely close to understanding it all and it’s all actually very simple, familiar, close, and small
consciousness is something you either have or you dont
you cant prove to someone else that you are conscious and you cant know if someone else is conscious or not
it is fundamentally impossible because consciousness is the very opposite of objective observation
i can never know if anything other than my current consciousness even exists
our concept of energy is coupled to our concept of time
energy is not truly defined as a standalone entity, only as a transformation of one kind of work to another
and that is only possible with time
