Depending on how old you are, you might have completely missed the Era when adults at least even tried to give some basic orientation to the newer generations.
The current fashion of breaking down everything only serves the people with the biggest and largest amount of force at their disposal.
It’s all a symphony of bullshit, divide and conquer.
Okay, fine, you broke say, Genders now what?
Let me put all my Ideological hats in the bag. Do me a favor. Pretend none of it matters for a moment. No one cares, No one is watching. (Other than the shitheads collecting all our data). But nobody is really looking into your mind right now, and they won’t cancel you if you indulge in a thought experiment.
What has Improved? Legit, go back to the life of your parents. Tell me what has improved. The things you can name are gadgets, gimmicks, trifles, and toys.
Have our collective lives become better with the endless narrative bullshit rejecting everything and pumping endless hostility on all levels?
Your parents had their ups and downs, their heartbreaks and joys. You do too. Not much has changed.
Philosophy is easy to get mired in. But shit is not that hard really.
To have ethics you just need to have values. I’m not going to promote any to you. The point is when you bring your head out of whatever you are stuck on at the moment, can You appreciate something about the world? One thing?! Anything?
If you can’t it means the Psyops worked. You are black-marked. You think humanity is a disease that must be irradiated, nothing is of value, and you can’t even enjoy anything in life because you are mired.
If you believe that, then you’ve wasted, the infinite potential of imagination and looked over everything nice about life and the world.
We have developed technologically but we’re regressing mentally. People nowadays can’t even perform basic mental hygiene. Well yeah, when your body takes on too much crap of the vomit-inducing kind it starts deteriorating your health. The mind is very much bound to the same dynamic. You don’t clear your mind, throw the garbage out, and organize it a little, you are just making extra suffering for yourself.
Some suffering is tough to avoid. However, in this century, we’ve become very keen on creating excessive amounts of EXTRA suffering.
You may think with all this information warfare going it’s hard to pin down truth. But it’s not. It’s real easy. Who is selling you faith and how desperate are they to sell it to you? People of solid values, are too busy enjoying them.
It’s like ice cream. If I’m getting all the joy from an excellent cone with multi-flavored ice cream. Guess what I don’t have the time to be – an obnoxious ice cream salesman, just bugging the shit out of you to buy this that, or the other. People who are in love what do they do – they make love. Do they come to you nagging about love relentlessly? Even if they do, it’s not even half as desperate as all the snake oil salesmen out there.
The people who do great things are typically not talking a lot.
It’s like that old gag about who gets to teach. Usually, people who couldn’t cut it in the field they are teaching.
So you wanna have solid ground beneath your feet, resolve in your heart, and tranquility in your mind. Value _SOMETHING_. Be grateful. Nurture that thing of value. Help it grow.
Even if you are my enemy a pointless existence where you just tumble down a hill of endless negativity is a complete waste of You. All the relativism is real simple in the end.
-What effect are you having!?
It doesn’t matter what words you push. What your ideology is? What your intentions are?
What is the effect!? Are you having an effect of any value or not?
Orient yourself to some Value. It may even be the wrong one. But that will help you orient yourself. You can only describe where you are and where you want to go in relation to other things.
Do you need abstract moral bullshit to feel more elevated than the creatures of the forest? Here is some …
If we pretended you were a powder. Imagine it. The sum total of your soul is just a powder. If we added that to a well. What would happen to the people drinking from it? Would it change the water, would it make it poisonous, would it flavor it and make it refreshing to those who drank it?
Maybe you think you are too far gone. All the things you got or didn’t get weigh you down too much? Well, you can still enjoy some half of them. You never got praise, encouragement, or appreciation? Lavish some on some people. Notice something about someone that others neglect. Maybe you weren’t able to get some for yourself but you can at least experience the other half of the interaction of giving it.
Try as you might, dopamine and quick thrills are just not fulfilling. Enter some new territory, do something unexpected or uncharacteristic, something your habits or emotions are unprepared for. You will be joyriding on a rollercoaster at the edge of your seat in no time. It will be much more intense and long-lasting than any chocolate bar or cum-shot you can have.
It doesn’t have to be drastic or dangerous. Our comfort zones have shrunk so much that most people can’t even handle sustained eye contact. You want a rush? Go apologize to someone. I feel less resistance and challenge bungee jumping than going and apologizing to someone over some mild and unimportant thing I’ve done wrong in the past.
Facing your fears and going outside your comfort zone is a source of highs stronger than any dopamine hit you can get with your usual means. And the best part is. You get a double high. Once you get high on facing your fears or venturing into the unknown, and then you get your usual dopamine high for actually pulling it off.
Maybe you lose some dead weight you’ve been carrying and not realizing it, maybe you find new things to value and enjoy, maybe you just escape a boring day.
Find something worth your focus. The distractions will go away by themselves as your focus drives you.
Split it down! You can’t lift 300 pounds with your muscles? Your mind has limits too. You can’t do a tough guy self-challenge? Go to the nearest smaller one. You can’t deadlift 300 pounds. Lift 30. You will feel silly. Move up. Move up. Move up. You will eventually find the exact level of what you can do and then you can organize activities around that. You hit a wall, scale down again.
Good luck! And remember. Practically – having a good life is now the official resistance to the clown world. There are few things worse that you can do to your enemies than having a great life for yourself. If you value spite, go ahead and seize the precious joy of the seething resentment of your enemies. The rest is really just very simple, stop and smell the flowers, get the sunshine on your forehead, and go play with some newborn furball creatures, feed them milk and watch them goof onto the world as they learn how to find their asshole with or without GPS.
Ethics? Simple as fuck. Are you contributing to life or diminishing it? Excuses are infinite. Bullshit is endless. My tomato patch is measurable.
If it just so happens that you are one of those few souls to whom being nice is not hard? Well – be an asshole. You always wanted to tell someone they are a piece of shit, but you never had the courage or were always limited by politeness? Go ahead, I dare you!
