its gotten to the point where i look at random ppl and wonder are they really "happy" im like how can ppl punch a clock to a meaningless job every single day?:why: do they realize that they are essentially a slave?? matter of fact we all are, from the moment we are born we have no choice but to become a "slave" or starve to death. only maybe 2% of us will grow up and do what we "love" for a living. the rest of us will have to face reality and work a regular job. thats why a give the :childplease: face to ppl saying "jus go and be your own boss" yea its possible but in reality its not going to happen for 98% of us. if you can find a job that you are "content" with then you've won :win:. thats just reality :shaq2:

OP has a false sense of intelligence about himself. We don't know anything about life, and won't for a very long time, we just assume things, doesn't mean it's true. All this history you all talk about could be fabricated, all of it, whatever culture you're getting the information from. Along with other shyt such as how the body works etc. Only true knowledge is experience.

Ah, but experiences can lie. There is no true knowledge because there is no base-point in which to base that knowledge; to compare that knowledge to. The only true fact is "something exists" (even if that is just a thought in your head). Everything else is pure hearsay

Aint a thing in this universe "intelligent"

We're emotional/ irrational creatures. Consciousness is an unintended product of evolution.

Hmmmm....I gotta think on this for a minute. Interesting...

I'm a hardcore Darwinist when looking at the micro (the world we perceive to live in), but when I go up to the macro, the existential, I just don't know. You comment has just mind fukked me :mindblown:

Did we evolve and that accidentally helped us to realize that evolution doesn't really exist at an existential level (as the world is infinite and without time, and evolution requires time)? :mindblown:

Yeah if we get macro then it gets murky. This is why I hate thinking about it and just live my life intuitively. All of this will have you tripping. Sometimes I feel like I'm in "The Truman Show", but what can we do about it even if we knew "the absolute truth"?

It's the random possibilities of life that make life interesting. And trying to define and dictate things makes everything self-defeating
The key is to abdicate trying to know everything about this world, and follow wherever life takes you
That's how you live life happy breh :jawalrus:
