The philosophy thread (reminder philosophy is not politics nor conspiracy theories)

Some bullshit about life.

Theres abstract ideas and real world experience.

Real world experiences are more worth examining than the abstract ideas.

Nothing is ever completely figured out like you can’t have the solution before you go into a problematic situation for some people are better at troubleshooting than others.

Getting lost in the abstract metaphysical realm is a luxury of comfort.

So…dark psychology books about power etc…are written out of abstract reflections..very rarely do those who wield power write books…because they are too busy. And also this kind of stuff it’s ok to know but it’s not a complete guide to life it is just one part of it.

There will be those who believe in virtue and those who believe in power and so on and so forth.

Figure yourself out. Determine which way you want to go but be cognizant of the territory that comes with your choices.

Life is not video game….

It’s a giant rube Goldberg machine…an interconnected chain reaction of cause and effect with all the observable parts playing some sort of role. The problem is that there are parts that we cannot observe..because of our limited perception. Since we cannot observe these parts we cannot understand and are left to our own abstract imagination.

How to be.

Society is ever changing and evolving much like ourselves if we choose such. We can either adapt or get left behind.

If you want to live a life of virtue…that’s fine but be prepared to face moral ambiguities.

If you want to live for yourself….well as long as you don’t do scumbag stuff to others.

If people want to be a scumbag that’s on them.

Keep in mind that people are not above darwinian primal nature…

On that note

Your purpose is self determined for you find the degree of your talents of which exist on a spectrum and cultivate your talents through hard work.

additionally you should cultivate your sense of self otherwise you will be easily programmable and playable by forces that will want to use you for their own ends.

Also dont get to abstract about nature and reality and social relationships for that is an unhealthy coping mechanism…

For there are some people that will play politics with their relationships in order to reach their goals. These kind of people don’t wear your heart on your sleeve no matter what. Playing politics with relationships comes at a cost…and has dire consequences. Some do it out necessity others do it because that is their nature.

Other times it is just a defense mechanism.

Others don’t play politics with their relationships. They might be of better character…considering that they are functional and have better sense.

Gotta discern for yourself which is which.

Right…so focus on building the life that you want…there is no instruction manual gotta figure it out as you go along.
