Technology is transforming our species in ways we scarcely grasp. In the process, we may be assembling the architecture of our own extinction, one click at a time.
GM and thank you to everyone who popped by our @BinanceAcademy booth last week during @IDBWOfficial 😘💛
Indonesia was a blast, let's run it back again in 2026 (with more Binance Swag) 😉
LETS DIG IN 👆
"Real user feedback matters in model evaluation." - our Chief Scientist. So spot on. This beats whatever the exam humanity writes on their last day. 😜 #iykyk
the world is more cooked than you can imagine, the charade is barely holding up any longer, the majority of people are absolutely clueless.
stare into the abyss & accept the cold dark truth.
stare long enough & realize this is also the greatest white pill.
your competitive advantage that will open countless windows of opportunities.
if you accept the nauseating truth instead of playing escapism with your reality, then you might just learn to find the light of the real sun as well.
you stare in the abyss without going nihilist or absurdist, but accepting reality for what it is, if you can do this truly you will go really far in life.
remaining optimistic about the future while being pessimistic about the present.
it's a fine line you have to walk to ensure not to fall prey to the depression of many flavors such as nihilism, absurdism, defeatism, apathy, escapism, pleasure chasing, etc.
all of these can be cured through changing your mindset, accepting the incompetence & rampant narcissism, inverted caste systems, etc whatever it is you feel victimized about by the current state of the world, you have to accept it.
you can't run from it either, don't dissociate or try to deny reality for what it is, many people think by denying or choosing not to believe in something that it will let them reclaim their power, this is cope.
accept reality for what it is, but then temper yourself with the desire to change it, shed your lowly escapist or pleasure seeking tendencies & dedicate your desires to actualizing your visions of the future.
when you start to do this you will find that there is another side of the line that you also have to be wary of which is mania. It is only natural to feel a form of mania when you enact your will upon the world & see the volition of it actualizing. It is an enchanting feeling & once you've felt it enough your previous fleeting desires & pleasures might even repulse you.
As Nietzsche said, the most supreme feeling of joy in a man is to exercise the full volition of his will, it can for many be a form of intoxication, as often found in incompetent authority figures, chasing the high of feeling important, you learn with time if you are tempered enough, that simply exercising your will is in itself also but a fleeting desire, you may have done big projects or made cutting edge contributions or whatever it may be, but with time these things too are only fleeting in essence, you chase the high of creating or willing or essentially tampering with reality itself, altering history ever so slightly with your little strokes & splashes.
fleeting all none the less still.
if you've tempered yourself far enough not to stay drunk on the mania of your own image in the world, then you may start to seek true meaning, it is not enough to have impacted reality or be desired or have validation from respected figures, these things are all fleeting, if you temper yourself far enough you will seek eternal meaning.
the only thing that can give your eccentric soul some rest is eternity, the promise of it, the idea of it, the ultimate dream, eternal life or eternal remembrance or eternal reincarnation, whatever it may be it becomes the ultimate striving for the most enlightened of history.
but even this is fleeting still - the dream of nirvana is but a sweet poison given to the soul before it dies.
energy is always transformed, thus is its nature, would your egomania know no bounds that you deemed yourself to be eternal?
what is eternal is change, in cycles it may come, in waves it may go, but it is always forever different in substance.
even you are but a beach where waves of change continue to crash upon the malleable sand of your psyche.
what is changing is growing, evolving, life willing, purpose fulfilling.
what is stagnant is decaying, degenerating, life denying, purposeless.
reality is dynamic, the truth is you either grow or you degenerate - you're either romanticizing the past or you're romanticizing the future.
