One thing, and one thing only, kills my hope for this country: the sheer number of people who are uneducated.
It genuinely breaks something in me every time I think about it.
@AFORCapiital I have held this idea for a while ...educated folks are flocking lagos,Abuja, port...but if you think deeper you will see the government has heavy hands in hindering development in other areas...
Get called crazy for staying in village alot but I believe people with access & means must go back to villages & the hinterlands if we want development
It will be boring, you’ll mostly hang out with rural & village folks but it’s the sacrifice needed to develop
Country no fit better!...we dey face battle of the minds ..not corruption! Corruption na less and after effect...how you want educate these mfs about dangers of apc?
The entire history of everything we have ever known collectively as a species exists on a massive ball of rock and water, floating in an endless void of heat and nothingness.
No matter how you look at it, it is a simulation, because after all, there’s the existence of death (inability to experience reality)
I think this thought should sober us up. We have a limited time here, nothing is real: what you see as reality simply is your brain’s interpretation of your neuro-sensory pathway.
I’ve been on strong edibles before, it made me see sounds and hear colors. So if reality can be altered by drugs, then what’s actually real? The only certainty is that eventually, we will all cease to experience this simulation.
So nothing really ever matters.
You are in the simulation.
You’ll not be thinking about that one time you got stood up on a date when you’re dead. Nothing really matters. Stop caring too much about opinions and optics, it limits your ability to take risk and not be scared to fail.
You have about 9 decades to experience this simulation and do whatever your heart desires. Rather than spending each day living in fear, guilt and holding yourself back, maybe try giving less of a fuck and focus on experiencing more?
After all, like everyone in the history of our existence, your simulation will come to an end.
It's been a while since I had this in my drafts.
Hacks on how to win fully funded scholarships, including fields & regions.
In the last 5 years, I have totalled over 200K euros in scholarships/ research funding without a kobo leaving my account - I may actually know my stuff.
I hate this cliche:
"In a million years, nothing will matter"
And I love Jordan Peterson's response to it:
"Any idiot can choose a frame of time within which nothing matters. Talking yourself into irrelevance is not a profound critique of Being. It’s a cheap trick of the mind"
